Chapter 86: Who the Hell?

Hu Wenguang presented a very embarrassing image, looking as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Jiang Mingyue glanced at Gu Dongqing beside her, who shrugged and said, “I didn’t do this. He probably fell into the water by accident.”

Jiang Mingyue burst out laughing at his explanation. “I didn’t say you did it; I just wanted to say you did a great job.”

Seeing Hu Wenguang in such a state, she felt no sympathy. Gu Dongqing had indeed done well.

Compared to my wife’s appearance, he’s still far behind,” Gu Dongqing replied smoothly.

Jiang Mingyue couldn’t retort. At the entrance of the courtyard, Hu Wenguang looked at Jiang Meiyue in disbelief. “Meiyue, what did you just say? Say it again.”

“I said, I want a divorce.”

Why? Hu Wenguang exploded. “Why do you want a divorce? I don’t agree; I absolutely disagree.”

Hu Wenguang was adamant about not agreeing to the divorce. But for someone who had given up on their relationship, how could Jiang Meiyue change her mind so easily?

If you don’t agree, then I’ll go to court. The hospital has issued a certificate stating that you hit me, and the court will order a divorce,” Jiang Meiyue stated calmly.

Facing Hu Wenguang, her former first love, Jiang Meiyue’s expression remained dull, her eyes even colder.

Hu Wenguang wanted to protest, but when his eyes met Jiang Meiyue’s distant gaze, he understood instantly. No matter what he said or did, he couldn’t change the fact that he had lost her completely.

The person he had sworn to love for a lifetime was now a stranger. How had their relationship deteriorated to this point in just six years?

Meiyue… Hu Wenguang’s lips moved with difficulty. “Can we wait to discuss the divorce? Mom and Xiaoyun fell and injured themselves at the entrance of your village and cannot walk. Can you call a few people to pick them up?”

Before Jiang Meiyue could respond, Hu Wenguang quickly added, “We set out from home yesterday morning. We walked in the rain all night. It was dark and cold. Mother, Xiaoyun, and the second and third children, who had been hungry all day, fell and got injured…”

In truth, one of them had fallen, and they all grabbed onto each other, resulting in a domino effect. All four were injured.

As for whether they were truly unable to walk, that was uncertain.

Hu Wenguang’s request was honestly a bit unreasonable.

Jiang Meiyue lowered her eyes and thought.

Seeing this, Jiang Mingyue understood that her sister was kind-hearted, making it difficult for her to refuse Hu Wenguang.

A slight smile appeared on her face, and she interjected, “Comrade Hu, what you said is a bit funny. Our family has nothing to do with your family now. How can we bring a group of strangers into our home?”

What if something happens to them in our home? Who are we going to talk to about that?

Her words struck a nerve with Jiang Meiyue, Mrs. Hu, and Hu Wenguang’s siblings.

Jiang Mingyue raised her eyes and asked Hu Wenguang, “Why did your family show up at the entrance of our village? What do you want to do here?”

Maybe it seems that the eldest sister has not been back for a long time. They came to give our Lao Jiang family some color and force the eldest sister to go back?” Jiang Mingyue guessed.

The thought of this possibility made Jiang Meiyue furious, and she rejected Hu Wenguang’s request on the spot. “Isn’t your mother usually very knowledgeable? You go to her to find a solution.”

Jiang Meiyue… Hu Wenguang didn’t expect to be rejected even for this trivial matter.

What happened these days? Who brainwashed you? That’s my mother, your mother-in-law…”

Isn’t this already a divorce? Jiang Mingyue interrupted.

Hu Wenguang immediately raised his head and glared at her, his eyes filled with fury.

Gu Dongqing held Jiang Mingyue’s arm and smiled at Hu Wenguang. “Boy, who were you staring at just now? Threatening my wife?”

You really think I don’t dare to fight you, do you?” he said, pulling up his sleeves to reveal his muscular arms.

Hu Wenguang’s face was full of hatred, but after seeing Gu Dongqing’s intimidating build, he hesitated.

Turning back to Jiang Meiyue, he pleaded, “Meiyue, do you really want to be so heartless? Do you really want to forget our past friendship?”

Hu Wenguang couldn’t persuade Jiang Meiyue, so he tried to use their past to soften her resolve.

But he forgot that every time she relented, he responded with nothing but disappointment and pain.

After accumulating enough disappointment, her heart naturally grew cold.

Since you are thinking about the past, let’s get together and get divorced properly. I don’t want to make this uglier than it already is.”

Jiang Meiyue was determined to escape the fire pit that was the Hu family.

Just as Hu Wenguang racked his brain for a last-ditch effort to persuade Jiang Meiyue to change her mind, the sky gradually brightened.

The four members of the Hu family—mother and children—were limping toward Lao Jiang’s house, supporting each other.

When they saw Jiang Meiyue and Hu Wenguang standing at the door, they sensed the tense atmosphere but ignored it.

Hu Yun was the first to shout loudly, “Sister-in-law, what’s going on with you? Do you think this is how you treat your family? Don’t you see that we are tired, hungry, and injured? Why don’t you come forward to help us?”

After Hu Yun finished, Mrs. Hu raised her chin and pointed her nostrils toward the door of Lao Jiang’s courtyard, resembling a feudal matriarch waiting for her subjects to bow.

But this was a new society, and if Mrs. Hu wanted to act like a feudal Buddha, she was destined to only dream.

Jiang Meiyue remained unmoved.

Hu Yun didn’t expect to be so dismissed. She immediately yelled at Hu Wenguang angrily, “Brother, look, this is how your wife treats our family.”

It’s fine if she doesn’t take me seriously; she doesn’t even care about us. Even my mother doesn’t matter to her!”

Who do you think you are? My eldest sister wants to care about you?” Jiang Mingyue interjected and opened another door of the courtyard, looking at the Hu family outside with a cold smile.

Voices from her grandparents could be heard behind her. Jiang Mingyue called out, “Man Yue, help me get a stool.”

Okay, second sister, Jiang Manyue replied, moving quickly to bring a stool.

Jiang Mingyue straightened her coat, sat down slowly, then raised her head, looking at the Hu family opposite with a smile on her face.

Come on, tell me slowly, who do you all think you are?

Do you deserve to be taken seriously by my eldest sister?
