In 2008, sunny Singapore welcomed a special couple. In this picturesque city, an elderly couple who once caused an uproar in the entertainment industry are preparing to enter the palace of marriage.
The groom, Luo Kangrui, is already over the age of six, but when he watched the bride Zhu Lingling in a luxurious white veil slowly approaching, the love in his eyes was still full of enthusiasm. Zhu Lingling's face is no longer as youthful and beautiful as it used to be, but in the eyes of Luo Kangrui, she will always be the Miss Hong Kong queen who once haunted his dreams.
When Luo Kangrui hugged Zhu Lingling's petite body into his arms, the two of them had happy expressions on their faces, as if they had waited for this moment for centuries. The guests present responded with warm applause and wished this pair of elderly couples who were shaky and traveled through time and space to become a family.
However, in this festive atmosphere, there was a person with a pale face, his eyes staring at his former husband, and there was nowhere to vent the anger and pain in his heart. She is Luo Kangrui's ex-wife He Jingjie, a confidant who has accompanied him in his struggle for 30 years.
Looking at Luo Kangrui's calm expression, He Jingjie was heartbroken. She still remembers the joy of making her wedding dress many years ago, but today, she has to sew a wedding dress for Zhu Lingling by hand.
The happiness of the past is like a broken mirror, fragmented, and difficult to reunite.
The roots of this relationship can be traced back to 1977. That year, Zhu Lingling won the Miss Hong Kong award with excellent results, and when she appeared on the stage in a graceful manner, countless audiences in the audience went crazy.
Even the upstart Luo Kangrui and Huo Zhenting, the son of the Huo family, were deeply impressed by her outstanding appearance.
The Huo family has been operating the real estate industry for generations, and the family is famous. Taking a fancy to Zhu Lingling's excellent background, the Huo family clapped their hands and decided to support her with all their might, hoping to use her popularity to enhance the family's influence in the entertainment industry.
In contrast, Luo Kangrui was just a reckless man at that time, working hard in the shopping mall and still in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, and he was unable to compete with the Huo family at all. Although he was very fond of Zhu Lingling's tall and beautiful appearance, after all, his net worth was limited, and he had no chance to get close to the beautiful woman in Xiangjiang who fascinated countless young men.
In the end, Zhu Lingling entered a wealthy family, married Huo Zhenting, the son of the Huo family, and became Mrs. Kuo. For Lo, this is indeed the biggest regret in his life.
He could only bury the love in his heart deeply and focus on his career development.
Fortunately, not long after, he got acquainted with He Jingjie, a virtuous woman who was quite knowledgeable. Although He Jingjie has a mediocre appearance, she is humble and polite, wise and wise, and soon won the respect of Luo Kangrui.
In the years of Luo Kangrui's entrepreneurial struggle, He Jingjie paid selfless support and care, becoming his most solid backing.
However, Zhu Lingling's shadow is like a haze, forever shrouded in Luo Kangrui's heart. Although he married He Jingjie as his wife, it was difficult for him to completely forget the stunning beauty who kissed goodbye on the side of the stage back then.
This crush is like a beast, sometimes suffocating, sometimes spurting, haunting Luo Kangrui's inner world.
Luo Kangrui and He Jingjie, an ordinary couple, live a low-key and simple life. They supported each other, started from scratch, and lived a harmonious life although they were not rich.
However, with the continuous expansion of Luo Kangrui's business territory, the family has also accumulated considerable net worth assets. He Jingjie, as a virtuous helper, has always silently supported her husband and never flaunted their wealthy life.
However, Zhu Lingling, who is also a wealthy wife, has a much more decent life. Since marrying into the Huo family, she has had to follow the rules and regulations of the family, and her life has been restricted.
As a daughter-in-law, whenever Zhu Lingling appears in public, she must dress appropriately and wear family heirloom jewelry to show her status. These invisible rules made her so depressed that she could not be as lively and comfortable as before.
What is even more complacent is that Zhu Lingling has been deprived of most of her autonomy. Her family has to agree to enter and exit, and even the family's treasure collection is not hers, so she can only borrow it from her in-laws to wear.
This kind of constrained life undoubtedly made her feel greatly suffocated and depressed mentally.
But what can Zhu Lingling say? After all, she is a new daughter-in-law who has married into a wealthy family, and she must not behave inexpensively at home and provoke criticism. Under pressure, she often felt very anxious mentally, and could only seek Luo Hongrui's confiding and comfort.
At this time, Luo Kangrui had been separated from He Jingjie for a long time. Zhu Lingling took advantage of the weakness to dissolve the depression in her heart. The two gradually got closer, and the relationship began to become ambiguous.
As a former wife, He Jingjie is actually aware of the ambiguous entanglement between her husband and Zhu Lingling. She tried to save this marriage, but in the end, for various reasons, she chose to part ways with Luo Kangrui and divorced with dignity.
He Jingjie's choice to divorce Luo Kangrui does not mean that she is dead set on this relationship. In fact, for a long time after the divorce, she still had hope of saving her marriage.
After the divorce agreement was signed, He Jingjie did not dwell on dividing her husband's property like many women. Instead, she chose decency and generosity, asking only for a place to live.
So, He Jingjie rented an apartment not far from Luo Kangrui's mansion and lived a poor but comfortable life. In the dead of night, she remembers the years she spent with her husband.
Although she has been married to Luo Kangrui for 30 years, she can only face the hardships of life alone. After the year passed and knew the destiny of heaven, she was more worried about her children.
In order to prevent her children from being affected by the divorce, He Jingjie patiently enlightened her eldest son Luo Juncheng, hoping that he would concentrate on developing his own career in Australia and not be involved in family disputes.
As a keen young man, Luo Juncheng has long been aware of the ambiguous relationship between his father Luo Kangrui and Zhu Lingling. He was full of resentment about his father's loss of his mother, and he became less and less interested in the real estate empire founded by Luo Kangrui.
Luo Juncheng would rather be self-reliant in Australia than get involved in his father's business. Seeing her son turn a blind eye to his father's old face, He Jingjie was both relieved and heartbroken.
Although He Jingjie's daughter later returned to China, she only assisted in the daily affairs of the family business, and she was still waiting to see whether she would really intervene in the family business.
Now she is just waiting for the opportunity, waiting for her to be able to completely control this family business that belongs to her mother.
However, while He Jingjie was patiently waiting, Zhu Lingling's side was working step by step, not letting go of any opportunity to grab Luo Kangrui's wealth.
When Luo Kangrui publicly announced that he would donate half of his property to Zhu Lingling at his wedding to Zhu Lingling, He Jingjie and his children all felt extremely indignant and angry.
In the face of his father's reckless behavior, Luo Juncheng was angry and deeply ashamed. He has been working tirelessly, nothing more than hoping to surpass his father one day, but he didn't expect his father to end up in such an unbearable end.
Luo Juncheng was even more indignant that his father abandoned his mother, who had always supported him, and betrayed his marriage vow with his mother. The anger and unwillingness in his heart surged in his body, making him move forward bravely on the road of his career, and he was fighting for a small revenge on his mother all the time.
He secretly determined that no matter what, he would use his own hands and strength to re-establish his mother He Jingjie's due dignity and status in this family. As the eldest son of the family, it is his responsibility to revive the family style.
Although He Jingjie was moved by her son's filial piety, she was also worried. She knows that her son's revenge will only bury her life's hard work and dedication. She earnestly admonished her son that the most important thing for the moment was to face all this with sincerity and kindness, rather than revenge and hatred.
However, Luo Juncheng was already uneasy and couldn't turn a blind eye to his father's harm to his mother. He secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would let Luo Kangrui, a hero with infinite glory in the past, sweep away in front of the world and hate his mother.
has been together day and night for 30 years, and He Jingjie certainly knows her son's character best. Looking at the cynicism in her son's eyes, she could only sigh secretly, hoping that her son would not follow his old path in the past and kidnap his life with hatred.
Luo Kangrui's bold words of announcing that he would donate half of his property to Zhu Lingling are undoubtedly announcing to the world his deep attachment to this old love. This decision also immediately caused an uproar in public opinion, leaving him and Zhu Lingling in an endless state of right and wrong.
Some people say that this is undoubtedly a kind of compensation from Luo Kangrui to Zhu Lingling. After all, Zhu Lingling entered a wealthy family with hard work, but in the end she did not get any property and wealth from the Huo family, and suffered decades of grievances in vain.
Now Luo Kangrui's approach is nothing less than a kind of compensation for her.
What's even more ridiculous is that at the wedding scene of Luo Kangrui and Zhu Lingling, He Jingjie was invited to attend this grand ceremony.
However, it is a pity that this man of the year never seems to have given He Jingjie even a trace of respect and consideration. 30 years of self-made and 30 years of husband and son, but in the last years of his life, he chose to give all his wealth to Zhu Lingling.
In the face of the doubts of public opinion, Zhu Lingling also has a bright heart. She publicly said that she politely declined the gift of Lo and promised to leave all this wealth to his children and grandchildren, and would not treat it as her own private property.
But a lot of people scoff at it. In their opinion, Zhu Lingling's bold words are nothing more than a means to take this money for themselves. Either she plans to keep it all for herself in the future, or she just wants to secretly sell the warehouse, steal the beams and change the pillars, and mix her private money into it.
Everyone has their own opinions and judgments about this relationship entanglement. But it is undeniable that the friendship between Luo Kangrui and Zhu Lingling has indeed experienced a protracted time, and it can be said that it is a marriage that is destined to end without a problem.
From Zhu Lingling winning the Miss Hong Kong championship in 1977 to the end of their lives with gray hair, their relationship has gone through nearly half a century of entanglements and twists and turns.
As Zhu Lingling said, this marriage is a lifelong partner destined by God, and no one can stop it.
