To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

Zhuang leaned on the desk, his hands on the edge of the table, his eyes turned to the window, but he didn't look at Jiang Yizhou and didn't speak.

Time stood still again.

The silence seemed to compress the space in the office, the air became thin and depressing.

After a long time, Zhuang Yi finally spoke in a muffled voice, "I've thought a lot these past two days, and now I've figured it out."

"Yiyi."

Jiang Yizhou guessed what Yiyi wanted to say, and suddenly walked forward with some panic.

But at this moment, Zhuang Yi suddenly turned her head, and her eyes, which always curved into a crescent shape, were now as calm as water, without a trace of ripples.

"Jiang Yizhou, don't say anything. I've been really tired lately. Your mother treats me like an enemy now. I hate her too. We have become enemies.

"To put it bluntly, as long as your mother is alive, we can't live like this. Do you know this?"

"Yiyi, don't say that. We can definitely think of a solution." Jiang Yizhou stepped forward and immediately hugged Zhuang Yi in his arms.

Zhuang Yi did not struggle, but leaned her head on his shoulder, the familiar temperature, the familiar embrace, the familiar smell.

She was nostalgic and missed it very much, but she had to be cruel.

Zhuang Yi pushed Jiang Yizhou away and looked at him seriously, "How to solve it? Tell me, how to solve it?

"Can you make your mother like me again, or let me let bygones be bygones, repay evil with kindness, and have a happy ending with making dumplings with your family?

"Impossible, Jiang Yizhou, this is a dead end, there is no solution.

"You've seen what happened during this period. You were stuck in the middle, caught in a dilemma, and you were forced to the point of being unable to breathe. I felt bad for you, so I backed off and made concessions. But what I got in return was not the resolution of the conflict, but your mother's continued encroachment.

"I'm so tired and don't want to go on like this. So forget it, let's...get a divorce."

Zhuang Yi’s tone of voice was very soft when she spoke the last three words, so soft that even if one was so close, one had to listen carefully to hear it.

But just these three light words seemed to have exhausted all of Zhuang Yi's strength.

Jiang Yizhou's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately shook his head excitedly, "Yiyi, I don't agree! Can you please stop being impulsive?"

Zhuang Yi was very serious, "Jiang Yizhou, I am serious. We haven't been in touch for three days. I have thought a lot about it, and I believe you have thought about it too.

"I asked myself, can I forgive your mother? I can't, not even for you.

"And that's even after your mother has gone one step further to provoke me, not to mention she won't stop at all."

"Jiang Yizhou, put yourself in my shoes. If my mother knew that I had already obtained a marriage certificate with you, and still arranged for me to go on a blind date with someone else, and that person was the person you hated the most, what would you do?!

"And you have to understand that your mother has had surgery now. Before the surgery, she could threaten you with her death, and after the surgery, she can still do that. Unless you can ignore her life or death, but can you?"

Having said this, Zhuang Yi paused and adjusted Jiang Yizhou's collar with both hands.

He is always a clean person, and his white shirt is always spotless and wrinkle-free.

But there is a little stain on the collar. Although it is not obvious, it is unbearable for Jiang Yizhou, proving that he has no time to change clothes in the past two days.

He was trapped in the hospital, trapped in the hospital by Ling Peipei.

"You should have thought about all of this, and you definitely haven't come up with any conclusions. So get a divorce."

"What about the child?" Jiang Yizhou didn't want to give up, so he mentioned the child in a mean way, hoping that Zhuang Yi would soften her heart.

He knew that this was very unmanly of him, but he didn't know how to do it.

Zhuang Yi turned her face away, "I will abort it. I am raising the child by myself, so my financial situation is not a problem. But for the child, the lack of fatherly love cannot be compensated by material conditions, so aborting him and not letting him be born is the best result."

Jiang Yizhou's eyes widened instantly, and his voice became louder, "You want to abort our child?! Yiyi, that's our child, it's a life! How could you be so cruel?"

"What else? Will your mother let her stay? Will she not interfere with us because of this child? Jiang Yizhou, with your mother being like this and the way we are now, how can we keep this child?!

“Yes, there may be many mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who can live together even if they don’t get along, and some may even work together for their whole lives, but I don’t want to live that kind of life, you know?

"I don't want your mother to make my breasts hurt from time to time, and I don't want you to be like a punching bag, being scolded by your mother and me.

"I just want to cut my losses, you know? For me, continuing this marriage might drive me crazy.

"I want to be in a happy relationship and live my married life happily, instead of being unhappy every day.

"I am not happy marrying you."

Zhuang Yi did not get hysterical, but just stated it in a calm tone that was almost scary.

She really figured it out.

She is still young and there is no need for her to waste her time in an unhappy marriage.

Jiang Yizhou felt as if someone was strangling him, unable to refute.

Zhuang Yi's words were not sharp, but they mercilessly described their current situation.

Yes, Zhuang Yi is not happy.

He was also unhappy because he promised to make her happy forever, but he didn't do it.

He couldn't ignore his mother's life or death for the girl he liked.

So, letting her go might be the best option.

Letting Zhuang Yi go is actually letting yourself go and giving up on yourself.

**

In the rice noodle shop.

Lu Xi sat with Fang Min, somewhat absent-mindedly.

The waiter served the rice noodles. Fang Min added two spoonfuls of chili oil and some aged vinegar, then asked Lu Xi, "Do you want some?"

"Yes, I'll do it myself."

"I'll pour it for you." Fang Min smiled as she poured vinegar for Lu Xi and glanced at her. "Are you worried about Yi Yi?"

Lu Xi forced a smile, "Yiyi and Brother Jiang obviously like each other so much, and everything was fine originally, but it turned out like this.

"Brother Jiang seems to have the shackles of family affection around his neck, and one end of the chain is held by his mother.

"As long as his mother doesn't let go, he will remain trapped, and his mother will pull hard on the chain to prevent him from moving far, regardless of whether he can breathe or not."

Fang Min nodded, "In fact, everyone has this shackle, but tolerant parents will not bear to see their children trapped and unable to breathe, so they will take the initiative to open it.

“Even if I didn’t want to let my children fly, I wouldn’t hold them so tightly.”

Lu Xi sighed and took a sip of the fried rice noodles. The spicy taste choked her, so she quickly took a sip of Coke.

It's obviously spicy, but it tastes a bit bitter when it comes up in the throat.

Lu Xi changed the subject, "Sister Xiaomin, when are you and Brother Ding going to get married?"

Fang Min laughed, "Why are we getting married?"

"Eh? Aren't you two a couple?" Lu Xi exclaimed. She couldn't be seeing things, right?

Fang Min nodded, "Yes, but our relationship is more about sex. At our age, what's the point of dating?

"If it's suitable, then live together. If it's not suitable, then break up. This is good. It satisfies the physiological needs, and you don't have to be suffocated by the relationship at home."

Lu Xi opened her mouth and asked after a while: "Then you will never get married?"

Fang Min answered affirmatively, "No. My family can't control me, and Ding Yu's parents can't do anything to him either.

"We agreed that we'll just live like this. If we're in our 50s or 60s and want to settle down, we can get a certificate then."

Lu Xizhen was shocked, "Then you don't plan to have children?"

"No." Fang Min was very sure, "I have an IUD and plan to be a DINK, and Ding Yu has also had a vasectomy.

"With the intensity of our work, wouldn't it be irresponsible to have a child? How can we have the time to raise a child?

"People should not be greedy. If they focus on making money and pursuing a career, they will definitely not be able to take care of their family. If I get married and have children, there will be a lot of people who will find fault with me.

“My husband blames me for not taking care of the family, and my mother-in-law dislikes me for not taking care of the children.

I quit my job and stayed at home. My husband said that I only cared about money, and my mother-in-law said with a clear conscience that I did nothing and that I was spending her son's money. She even looked at me like a thief when I bought something, as if I was squandering the family's money.

"So, instead of that, I'll just cut off all these possible conflicts. I'm beautiful now, and I can make money to support my family, isn't that good?

"Ding Yu and I share the same values, and we are doing well now."
