"I'm divorced." Deng Yuyuan's tone was completely flat.
Tuantuan felt the counselor's complicated, sympathetic gaze fall upon her and tilted her head in confusion. Tuantuan figured that while her dad didn't have a wife who wanted him, she certainly had a mom who wanted her!
"That's not a bad thing. Keep your chin up and study hard," the counselor comforted her. "I know many women who focused entirely on being wives and mothers after getting married. In the end, their husbands achieved great success, and they had happy families. However, they could have had careers just as successful as their husbands'. I can't say whether those choices were right or wrong, but you don't need to drown in the sorrow of divorce. Without the burden of a family dragging you down, you might be able to go even further."
"To be honest, I'm actually quite happy after the divorce," Deng Yuyuan replied truthfully.
