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

boom!

Jiang Yizhou felt as if he was struck by lightning. He looked at Zhuang Yi in shock, speechless and unable to utter a word.

Zhuang Yi smiled, but there was no warmth in her eyes, "Why are you so surprised? Haven't you ever thought that I would have a miscarriage?"

Jiang Yizhou's face was pale, as if he had been hit hard with a club. The dull pain quickly spread from his head, invading his entire body, and numbing his entire body.

He opened his mouth, his Adam's apple rolling. Even though his throat felt like a razor blade was stuck in it and making any sound would be painful, he still wanted to ask clearly, "Yiyi, that's our child, how could you..."

"Why can't I?" Before Jiang Yizhou could finish his words, Zhuang Yi interrupted him and continued, "Can't I play? Then why should I keep it?

"Don't forget, we are getting divorced. I keep the child, and she will either grow up in a single-parent family or I will find her a stepfather.

"But I may not be able to find one in a short time. Do you want a woman like me to go through the entire pregnancy with so much hardship?

"Besides, didn't your mother want me to abort the child when she was alive? I'll help her, so she can rest in peace.

"By the way, I have already signed the divorce agreement. It's just right that you are here. Just sign it. We will complete the formalities tomorrow and get the certificate after the cooling-off period.

"I won't return the betrothal gift. Marrying you is considered my second marriage. I also beat the child and hurt my body. These are the compensation you give me.

"There are no more. Do you have any more to add?"

Zhuang Yi was a little excited at first, with a sarcastic tone, but she became calmer as she spoke, giving people the feeling that she had let it go.

Jiang Yizhou's whole body was stiff and his mind was in a mess.

The shock of miscarriage has not yet subsided, and now Yiyi has filed for divorce again, and has even signed the agreement, and is just waiting for the process.

She had really thought it through clearly.

Jiang Yizhou regretted it. What he said that day was all in anger. He was a bastard who said what he should have said. He spoke with difficulty, "Yiyi, can you..."

"No." Zhuang Yi didn't even give Jiang Yizhou a chance to finish his words. She shook her head firmly, "No. Jiang Yizhou, no! You were the one who asked for the divorce. Why are you crying now? You should know that I'm actually very cruel. Once I make a decision, I won't look back."

"Yiyi."

Jiang Yizhou originally wanted to say something, but when he met Zhuang Yi's eyes, which were so calm that there was not a single ripple in them, he was unable to utter a word.

"Okay, there's nothing more to say. Jiang Yizhou, let's part ways amicably. I've only been married to you for such a short time, but it feels like ages have passed. I'm really tired. Just follow your mother's wishes and divorce me. That will be good for everyone."

Zhuang Yi stopped looking at Jiang Yizhou, afraid that she would not be able to let him go, afraid that she would be too soft-hearted.

The reason why emotions can hurt people is not because the emotions are so sharp, but because people who are deeply trapped in the quagmire of emotions are unable to save themselves.

You know that you will be torn to pieces, but you still insist on throwing yourself into the fire, and you won't give up until you are reduced to ashes.

But if it is really gone, how can there be any chance? There is not even a chance to regret.

**

The next day, Jiang Yizhou and Zhuang Yi went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and submitted their divorce application.

But they still needed to go through a cooling-off period, so the two were unable to get a divorce certificate.

Jiang Yizhou wanted to send Zhuang Yi off, but Zhuang Yi shook the car keys and said, "No need, I can drive myself, and I have things to do with Xixi."

Lu Xi came with Zhuang Yi because she was worried that Zhuang Yi had just had a miscarriage and might have some underlying illness.

Jiang Yizhou felt as if someone was strangling him by the throat. When he saw Zhuang Yi and Lu Xi get in the car and leave, it was as if the world had collapsed.

In just a few days, he lost the three most important people at the same time: his family, his lover, and his unborn child.

He was a failed son, a failed husband, and a failed father.

"I've made up my mind. The New Year is coming soon anyway, so we can wait a little longer and leave after the New Year." Zhuang Yi's tone was relaxed and he seemed to be in good condition.

Lu Xi pursed her lips. There were many things she couldn't say. She just felt sorry for her best friend.

"Don't be so bitter. I'm just getting a divorce. It's not a life-threatening matter. In today's society, breaking up and getting back together, divorced and remarried, isn't it normal?" Now it was Zhuang Yi who comforted Lu Xi.

Lu Xi forced a smile, "I hope you can think it through. By the way, how are you going to spend Christmas?"

There was no way she would leave her bestie alone.

The more calm things appear on the surface, as if nothing has happened, the more careful you should be.

Zhuang Yi laughed, "We are not children, and we still celebrate foreign festivals?"

Lu Xi nodded, "Come on, let's go together and have a party. It will be more lively with more people. Invite my sister and Junjun sister."

When she mentioned it, Zhuang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, "I don't have anything to do anyway, why don't we go check on Sister Lu Yao?"

"Okay." Lu Xi's current goal is that Zhuang Yi can go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants, as long as she accompanies her.

Lu Yao's stationery store is always busy, especially during school hours, when students come in and out.

Fortunately, when they arrived, it was noon and the school was closed, and students were not allowed to go out, so there were few people.

As a few people were chatting, a middle-aged woman came in happily carrying several insulated lunch boxes.

"My girl, come and eat. I made duck blood vermicelli soup and stewed pig's trotters for you today."

Lu Yao smiled bitterly, "Auntie, I'm losing weight."

The woman pretended to be angry, "Why do you want to lose weight? You are just right now, not too fat or too thin, and you look good in anything. Remember, girls can't be too thin, or you won't be able to handle illness later."

Lu Xi and Zhuang Yi were both stunned because they had never seen this woman before, but they could clearly feel that she was genuinely kind to Lu Yao.

The woman also saw Lu Xi, and her face instantly lit up with joy, "Oh, you are Xixi, right?"

"Ah, it's me, hello, Auntie." Lu Xi greeted awkwardly and looked at her sister.

The woman laughed, "Oh my god, it's just like what your sister said, you are so beautiful, auntie liked you at first sight. Oh, by the way, you don't know who I am, right? I am Liang Feng's mother."

Lu Xi opened her eyes wide, "It turns out to be Brother Liang's mother, hello, auntie."

"Hahaha, you don't have to be so polite. I just came to see your sister. Okay, I'm leaving. I brought a lot of food today. It's enough for you three girls to eat together. I'm leaving now."

"Auntie, I'll take you there."

Just as Lu Yao was about to go out, Liang's mother pushed her back and said, "What are you sending me? It's very cold outside. Eat quickly. Don't eat one meal at a time. You're starving."

"Okay." Lu Yao nodded with a smile.

After Liang's mother left, Lu Xi quickly grabbed Lu Yao and said, "Sister, what's going on? Have you met the parents? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

Although the two sisters didn't chat every day, they kept in touch on WeChat. Lu Xi really didn't know anything about this.

Lu Yao was helpless. "I didn't go to meet the parents on purpose. I just ran into them when I was at Liang Feng's house one day. Under the circumstances at that time, no one would believe us if we said we had no relationship, so we could only say that we were dating."

Lu Xi opened her mouth into an "O" shape, she understood what he meant, but didn't say it out loud.

Zhuang Yi suddenly asked, "What kind of situation? No clothes on, right?"
