Chapter 1998 Not Human
- "This marriage went on the same way for a few years, but I asked for a divorce in the end as I couldn't stand it any longer. He tried to stop me over the phone, and he told me not to leave. He even said that he had asked his higher-ups for a few days off to spend time with me, so I told him that I would wait for him. But in the end, he left for a mission without coming back. I couldn't even contact him on his phone as I would get sent to his voice message." There were no tears in Yang Jindou's eyes when she spoke of her past marriage. All that was left was an icy smirk and a mocking tone.
- "I don't know what that marriage gave me. It wasn't that I didn't love He Jin—we got married because we were in love with each other. Back then, I had such a sweet and gentle smile in our wedding photos, and I was so excited for the future we had together. I loved Bingbing so much, but in the end… I was willing to abandon her just to get a divorce. I was once married to He Jin, so I know you people better than anyone else. You guys aren't human. You guys are always changing identities, and it comes to a point where you don't even know who you are. Let me ask you a question, Xiao Cheng. What right do you have to marry my daughter? She's only 19, and she's just starting to live her life. Are you trying to ruin her? I'm her mother, and I refuse to see her turning into another version of me. I don't want her to follow in my footsteps!" Upon finishing her speech, Yang Jindou stormed out of the house.
- Yang Jindou's feelings were completely valid, as she had spent half her life just getting over the marriage she had with He Jin. It was understandable that she would feel frightened, hateful, and repulsed by the idea of her daughter being with Xiao Cheng. As long as she was well and alive, she wouldn't agree for her daughter to date a man like him.
