Chapter 4: After the Hurt, There is No Forgiveness

Looking at his expressionless face, Jiang Mingyue smiled self-deprecatingly.

He actually said she was making a big deal out of it.

Yes, to someone who doesn’t love you, even if you hang yourself, they’ll think you’re just swinging on a swing.

Love and lack of love are always in the details.

“You think I’m making a big deal out of it? Luo Mingzhong, put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, I, Jiang Mingyue, have been frugal for five years since I married you. Human hearts are made of flesh.

In five years, even a stone should be warmed up, right?

But what about you? Have you ever treated me, Jiang Mingyue, as your wife?

You haven’t.

This marriage was me overestimating myself, it was me delaying you. Since we’re both not happy, then let’s stop here, let’s call it quits.

Let’s get a divorce, I’ll write the divorce agreement. I don’t want anything, I just want my daughter.”

After saying that, she didn’t even look at Luo Mingzhong, lowered her head and continued to pack things into the suitcase.

Luo Mingzhong saw her serious face and her more determined tone than before, he was stunned for a moment and said with disgust: “When did you become so narrow-minded, actually picking on a child?”

“They’re all children, even if Mingyue isn’t your biological child, you’re still his father in name.

Even a child knows that you treat him better than Xiaoxue, how can you, an adult, not understand?

I don’t want to say more nonsense, let’s get a divorce.”

She continued to put things into the box, Luo Mingzhong was so angry that a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

Women are just troublesome, these bad habits are all spoiled by him.

He didn’t believe it.

She loved him so much, how could she bear to get a divorce?

Is divorce something that can be easily said?

He felt inexplicably irritable, if he didn’t teach her a lesson, she really wouldn’t know how selfish she was.

“You said it yourself, let’s divorce then.”

Seeing him so readily agree, Jiang Mingyue’s hand packing the luggage paused. Although this answer was what she wanted, after more than thirty years, her heart was still inevitably bitter.

In her previous life, she had been dragging her feet and unwilling to get a divorce, just out of revenge, delaying her own life. Besides intense hatred, she had no love for him at all.

Thinking about it now, how stupid she was in her previous life, trapping herself in a terrible marriage for such a cold-blooded and ruthless man, and withering away like a rose.

She lived in vain in her last life, and in this life, she must take Xiaoxue away from here and live a good life.

“Okay, whoever doesn’t divorce is a grandson. I’ll wait for you at your political commissar’s office at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. After your political commissar signs the divorce application, we’ll settle it quickly and go directly to the civil affairs bureau to complete the formalities.”

She didn’t want to stay for even a second longer.

Now that God has given her a chance to be reborn, and her daughter is still here, in this era where selling tea eggs can make you rich, as long as she divorces, she will have many opportunities to choose from.

She will never be so stupid as to exhaust her life for a man who can’t tell right from wrong.

After the harm, what is there to forgive?

Any turning back is a heinous crime.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Luo Mingzhong actually saw impatience and joy in her eyes.

How could it be?

It didn’t look like she was pretending.

A certain part of his heart ached, but he quickly regained his senses.

He was sure that even if all the women in the world divorced, Jiang Mingyue wouldn’t.

Because she loved him.

Luo Mingzhong said stubbornly: “Divorce.”

“Okay, remember what you said, don’t regret it tomorrow morning.”

Jiang Mingyue’s tone was firm and her expression was indifferent and cold.

Luo Mingzhong saw that she didn’t give him a way out, but instead took an inch, and his face turned livid with anger.

Just as he was about to talk to her clearly, a voice came from the living room.

“What are you arguing about?”

It was Lin Jinghua.

She had been hospitalized for three days, and this mother-in-law hadn’t come to see her even once.

Seeing the two arguing red-faced, she frowned and her eyes subconsciously fell on the suitcase, and then on her bandaged wrist.

“Isn’t it embarrassing enough? Behave yourself when you come back. I don’t want to become a laughing stock for the other people in the compound.”

When they first got married, Lin Jinghua was quite nice to Jiang Mingyue. After a year of marriage, her stomach didn’t get bigger, and Lin Jinghua had an opinion on her. In addition, she picked up a baby girl, and her opinion of her became even greater.

She felt that she couldn’t get pregnant and was a hen that couldn’t lay eggs. It was a great blessing for her son not to divorce Jiang Mingyue.

What else did she want?

Her son was just kind-hearted and helped his comrade’s sister because he valued friendship. She made such a fuss that everyone in the compound knew about it.

What was she being so pretentious about?

Her son was a talented person and was also someone the leaders wanted to promote. She should steal incense and worship Buddha for not divorcing him.

Then, the old lady Luo, who came in later, heard Jiang Mingyue’s voice and said anxiously, “Mingyue, are you feeling better?”

Jiang Mingyue took a deep breath and her eyes softened.

In the whole family, only the old lady Luo respected her and treated her sincerely.

“Grandma, I’m fine.”

The old lady took two steps forward with her crutches, and her wrinkled hands gently held Jiang Mingyue’s hand.

“Child, you’ve suffered. This time, Mingzhong is wrong. I’ll talk to him later.”

The old lady was now in her seventies. She had suffered from hunger and hardship when she was young, and her physical fitness was not good. She had a worse physique when she got older, and she also had a pair of three-inch golden lilies. She couldn’t walk normally when she was in her forties and had been using crutches ever since.

In her previous life, the old lady was still worried about her before she died and gave her all her precious jewelry.

“Grandma, no need.”

Her voice was calm, and she couldn’t hear any sadness.

If it was before, she would definitely choke up and complain to the old lady.

The old lady was also surprised. She glared at Luo Mingzhong reproachfully. What a sensible daughter-in-law, but this kid couldn’t tell right from wrong.

The old lady’s crutches hit Luo Mingzhong’s legs heavily.

“You unfilial son, do you think my life is too long and want to anger me to death, this old woman?

Even if I die, that vixen outside can’t even think about entering the door.

If you dare to hurt Mingyue’s heart again in the future, I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial grandson.”

Lin Jinghua quickly reached out to stop her: “Mom, Mingzhong is also kind-hearted, so don’t blame him.”

“And you, you raised such a good son, blind and heartless, unable to tell who’s human and who’s a ghost.

Anyway, I don’t care, if you dare to make Mingyue feel wronged, you’re dissatisfied with me, this old woman.”

Luo Mingzhong was anxious: “Grandma, Regimental Commander Wen died because of me, his sister is my sister, they’re orphans and widows, who will take care of them if I don’t?

Besides, we’re innocent, it’s not what she thinks.”

When he said the last sentence, Luo Mingzhong deliberately glared at Jiang Mingyue.

“You think you’re innocent, but what about that vixen? What about the other family members in the compound?”

The old lady was so angry that she raised her crutches and wanted to beat him again, but Lin Jinghua quickly hugged the old lady.

“Mom, the matter is over, let them live well from now on.”

Can the past really be over?

Jiang Mingyue took a deep breath and became even more determined to divorce.

“Grandma, Mom, I have something to say to you.”
