Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Divorce When Fu Yu Returns

This voice clearly belongs to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Xin paused her action of eating bread, and her fiery temper flared up instantly.

Thinking about the original owner's death, it's inseparable from Jiang Wan.

If it weren't for her, maybe she wouldn't have ended up here so unluckily.

Jiang Xin suddenly attributed all the resentment to Jiang Wan.

She immediately jumped up from the kang.

Listening to the commotion outside, the voice was still speaking.

"Oh, it's Ah-Wan!"

"You're such a kind-hearted child. If it weren't for that bitch Jiang Xin, you and our Yu Ge might have been married by now."

"What could that bitch be doing? Most likely hiding in the house avoiding work, sleeping in!"

"Let's ignore her, don't let that draw you away from our family."

"You know that Auntie doesn't have a daughter, and she sincerely likes you. When you're free, come over and chat with Auntie!"

Jiang Xin, listening to the tone of the conversation in the room, even without stepping out, could tell the speaker was Fu Yu's mother.

The tone was entirely different from the viciousness when they were insulting her behind her back.

When dealing with Jiang Wan, the gentleness couldn't be more evident.

In the courtyard, Mrs. Fu, with a face full of flattery, reached out to hold Jiang Wan's hand.

Those hands, long accustomed to rough work, felt unpleasant to touch. At the instant they grasped Jiang Wan's, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

But constrained by Mrs. Fu's enthusiasm, Jiang Wan had to suppress her revulsion and subtly pull away.

Jiang Wan came today with a purpose.

Upon hearing Mrs. Fu say that "if it weren't for Jiang Xin, she and Fu Yu would have been married by now,"

Jiang Wan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, secretly cursing Mrs. Fu for being a toad lusting for swan meat.

Then, pretending to have come to terms, with an understanding air like a delicate flower, she said to Mrs. Fu:

"Auntie, don't speak about Jiang Xin that way, maybe she's not feeling well."

"Since she and Brother Fu Yu are already married, let's all look at this openly. Although there's some regret..."

Jiang Wan paused mid-sentence, the yearning-to-cry expression made her appear pitiable.

Someone unaware might think she's been grievously wronged.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fu was heartbroken, and another grudge against Jiang Xin formed in her heart.

Just when she wanted to comfort Jiang Wan a few words, Jiang Wan continued:

"Perhaps… it's fate that Yu Ge and I are not meant to be, and Jiang Xin couldn't help herself."

"Auntie, let's not bring up this topic again. After all, Jiang Xin is my distant cousin, she might feel sad hearing it."

Upon hearing Jiang Wan's mixed messages, Mrs. Fu felt even more bitter inside:

"You child, so considerate, always thinking of others."

"That bitch Jiang Xin can't compare to you..."

Mrs. Fu's hatred for Jiang Xin was genuine.

So, after hearing Jiang Wan's words, she naturally wanted to comfort her.

But just halfway through her sentence, there was a sudden loud "bang" from not far away.

Everyone in the courtyard immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw the originally closed door kicked open by Jiang Xin.

Jiang Wan didn't expect this, she was truly startled.

Mrs. Fu clutched her chest, yelling at Jiang Xin:

"You wretched thing, trying to scare people to death!"

"Our Old Fu Family, how did we end up taking in such a harbinger of doom?"

"Oh my, what an unjust God, when my son returns, I'll definitely have him divorce you!"

Mrs. Fu's cursing voice boomed through the entire courtyard.

The original owner had been married into the Fu Family for almost a week.

Due to her emotional state, she always appeared quite subdued.

This left Mrs. Fu with the impression that she was easy to bully, a pushover.

So now seeing Jiang Xin's reaction, Mrs. Fu's first instinct was to burst out in curses.

Anyway, Jiang Xin was a punching bag, never talking back no matter how much she scolded.

Just when Mrs. Fu thought Jiang Xin would remain as silent as before while being berated.

Jiang Xin, threw a brick directly at them both—her and Jiang Wan.

Then Jiang Xin's hoarse voice confronted Mrs. Fu and Jiang Wan:

"You old hag, who are you calling a harbinger of doom?"

"And you think you're right talking behind people's backs?"

"What I hate most is people gossiping behind my back!"

"As for you asking your son to divorce me, fine! I don't care for a man without guts anyway!"

"When Fu Yu comes back, I'll divorce him immediately; don't you like Jiang Wan the sly one? Let her be your daughter-in-law!"

Because this body had not eaten or drunk properly, it was weak.

So, as soon as she spoke, Jiang Xin herself was startled by the hoarse and unpleasant voice.

Her mood, already bad, worsened directly.

Looking at Jiang Wan and Mrs. Fu, she became increasingly displeased.

If you've got the guts, insult me to my face?

Even openly, I wouldn't get angry.

This kind of sneaky behavior is disgusting.

Calling someone a little bitch, who's really the bitch here?

This sudden action of Jiang Xin took them by surprise.

Mrs. Fu, being older, wasn't quick enough to react, and she screamed, watching the brick coming at her.

Luckily Jiang Wan moved fast, hurriedly pulling Mrs. Fu aside.

Then, looking like she barely escaped trouble, she stepped forward to check on Mrs. Fu:

"Auntie, are you okay?"

Seeing Mrs. Fu nod, Jiang Wan visibly relaxed, portraying a nervous demeanor that warmed Mrs. Fu's heart.

Upon hearing Jiang Xin mention divorcing Fu Yu, Mrs. Fu's eyes lit up immediately.

She didn't even care about almost being hit by the brick, hurriedly asking her:

"You want to divorce Fu Yu? Are you serious?"

In the past, had Mrs. Fu heard about Jiang Xin wanting a divorce from her son, surely she would have been furious.

Only their family had the right to be picky about Jiang Xin, how could Jiang Xin turn the page and want to ditch her son?

The divorce should be initiated by their family, to denounce Jiang Xin!

But at this moment, Mrs. Fu seized the opportunity, not caring too much.

She looked at Jiang Wan standing beside her, full of anticipation.

If they divorced...

Could Jiang Wan still marry their Fu Yu?

Then, everything could return to its original course.

Jiang Wan felt goosebumps rising from Mrs. Fu's gaze.

A bad premonition welled up inside her.

She immediately guessed what Mrs. Fu had in mind!

Good heavens, she saved Mrs. Fu out of kindness, but this Mrs. Fu wanted to repay kindness with enmity.

Jiang Wan quickly pulled Mrs. Fu's arm, just about to speak when Jiang Xin interrupted.
