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

For the first time, Lu Xi discovered that Secretary Fang was more rational than she thought. Not only did he have a clear plan for his life, but he also had a lot of ideas and was very daring.

"Sister Xiaomin, I suddenly think you are so cool." Lu Xi looked at her with admiration, feeling that Fang Min was a strong woman.

She has liked Fang Min since her time at Fu's, and now that they work together and have a deeper understanding of each other, she likes Fang Min even more.

Fang Min blinked, "It's cool, but it can't stand the chili. Their chili is industrial, right? Why is it so spicy?"

As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue, as if the spicy food was really bothering her.

Lu Xi was amused and put on a bright smile on her face, "It is said that it is not, it is the ghost pepper. Last time I ate ghost pepper noodles, I almost died."

After dinner, Lu Xi returned to the company and Jiang Yizhou had already left.

"I didn't pack rice noodles for you. I bought two pounds of braised lamb shanks, a small bowl of rice, and some cold lettuce and millet porridge, a combination of meat and vegetables.

"It is said that when you feel sad and want to cry, or when you are in an emo mood, you should eat something bitter to vent your emotions. It is recommended to eat lamb and almonds. I bought lamb shanks, which are all lean meat and tendons, not fat, and delicious."

Zhuang Yi glanced at her gloomily and said, "She's really a close friend, so thoughtful."

When Lu Xi saw that Zhuang Yi’s eyes were swollen like walnuts, she knew that the talk with Jiang Yizhou must have failed.

But she didn't dare ask.

Zhuang Yi sat on the sofa, mechanically stuffing rice into his mouth and gnawing on a lamb shank, but his eyes were lifeless.

Suddenly, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said hoarsely: "I filed for divorce from Jiang Yizhou."

Lu Xi froze for a moment. Although she had known this would be the result, she was still stunned for a moment after hearing it with her own ears. "What did Brother Jiang say?"

"What can he say? He wanted to use the child to soften my heart, but I said I would abort it. Before he left, he asked me to think about it again and he would try harder. I want to know, how hard can he try?"

Zhuang Yi's tone was slightly sarcastic. In fact, she knew that with Ling Peipei's dictatorial behavior, there was no way to solve the problem. This was originally a dead end.

Lu Xi was speechless and just felt a tightness in his chest.

At the same time, at the hospital on the other side.

After Jiang Yizhou came out of Hengfeng Building, he immediately returned to the hospital.

The reason was simple: Ling Peipei called him one after another, sharply urging him to go back.

While driving on the road, Jiang Yizhou kept thinking about him and Zhuang Yi.

He was not willing to divorce at all, but he also did not want to torture Zhuang Yi anymore. He did not want Zhuang Yi to change from a bright and cheerful girl who laughed every day to a resentful woman in the boudoir who could not even laugh.

There was no infidelity or emotional breakdown between them; the root cause was only his mother.

When I returned to the inpatient area, I could hear my parents arguing in the corridor.

"Jiang Buhui, what do you mean? Why did you watch him go find Zhuang Yi? You feel that you didn't get to marry your first love, Bai Yueguang, so you pin your hopes on your son, right?"

Ling Peipei's voice was sharp, not like that of someone who had just undergone major surgery.

Jiang Buhui suppressed his anger, but no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't stand such torture.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just don't want to see my son suffer. Look at what you've done to him. They're a happy couple, why do you want to break them up? You, as a mother, don't feel sorry for your son. If I, as a father, don't feel sorry for him either, I'll really drive him to death!"

Ling Peipei didn't think she had done anything wrong. "How did I force him? They're not suitable for each other! They're not suitable for each other, do you know that?!"

Jiang Buhui questioned: "What do you mean by unsuitable?! Is it that they are not a good match? Or that there is no love between the two of them? Or that Zhuang Yi cannot carry on the family line?

"All the problems don't exist, the only thing that's not suitable is you, the mother-in-law!

"It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We are all this age now. Yizhou is 31 years old. He knows what he wants and what he is doing. As parents, can we not interfere?!"

"No! I tell you it's impossible! As long as he is my son, he must listen to me!"

Ling Peipei spoke harshly, her eyes wide open and full of ferocity.

Jiang Buhui was speechless. He stared at her for a moment and shook his head helplessly, "How did you become like this today?!"

"I have always been like this! Are you regretting even more, regretting marrying me out of responsibility?!"

Without waiting for Jiang Buhui to answer, Ling Peipei sneered again and said sarcastically, "If it wasn't because I was your antidote and I got Yizhou pregnant, would you never marry me?!"

Jiang Buhui remained silent.

If it weren't for these, he and Tan Jing would have a happy family.

But there are no ifs in the world. Thirty years have passed, and he has no obsession with Tan Jing. Why must his wife be so aggressive?

"Speak up! Why don't you speak? Are you feeling guilty? You are still thinking about that bitch. That bitch is the only one in your mind, right?!"

Ling Peipei suddenly let out a sharp roar, not caring at all that she had just undergone a major operation, nor that her roar might be heard by others, making the entire Jiang family a laughing stock in upper society and a topic of conversation after dinner.

Jiang Buhui could no longer bear it and roared angrily, "Yes, you are right! That's how I think of her. I just can't forget her. Are you satisfied?!"

"You..." Ling Peipei was struck by lightning. She immediately grabbed the phone and smashed it hard, hitting Jiang Buhui right on the forehead.

Jiang Buhui was furious and even more sad, "Ling Peipei, do you have a heart? Don't you know how I've treated you over the years?

"It is true that I did not want to marry you, but since I married you, except for that night, I, Jiang Buhui, have never had any unfaithful thoughts, nor have I ever done anything to let you down.

"I have tried my best to make it up to you over the years, I even changed my name. What else do you want me to do? Do you really want me to dig out my heart and give it to you?!"

Jiang Buhui roared more and more weakly, and finally sat down on the sofa dejectedly with his head hung.

Ling Peipei was still unyielding, "This is what you deserve! Because you owe me! You shouldn't have done such sneaky things with that bitch while you were still married! If you hadn't let me down, I wouldn't have been there on the day she gave birth..."

Ling Peipei nearly lost control and almost blurted out something.

Jiang Buhui suddenly raised his head, "What do you want to say? What did you do on the day Jingjing gave birth?"

Ling Peipei's eyes flashed with panic, but she immediately sneered sinisterly, "You really still care about that bitch. As soon as she is mentioned, your true colors are immediately exposed."

"But I'm telling you, Jiang Buhui, Tan Jing is dead. He died in that fire 26 years ago. Even if you keep thinking about him, he can't come back! You can only be locked up with me for the rest of your life. Even if you die, we have to be buried in the same grave!"

Jiang Yizhou couldn't bear to listen any longer, because he didn't know how long they would continue arguing, so he immediately opened the door of the ward.

Seeing him come back, Ling Peipei's expression did not improve at all. Instead, she asked, "You really went to see Zhuang Yi, didn't you? What did you talk about? Did you talk about divorce?"

Jiang Yizhou suddenly fell to his knees with a plop.

Ling Peipei narrowed her eyes fiercely, and Jiang Buhui hurried over, "What happened to you all of a sudden?"

Jiang Yizhou looked at Ling Peipei steadily, "Mom, thank you for giving birth to me, thank you for giving me life, thank you for your meticulous care over the years, I will always remember your kindness in giving birth to me, but..."
