Xiao Qian entered the house, and Jia Xiufang saw her come back. She hurriedly stood up to put the food Xiao Qian had bought into the microwave to heat it up, but Xiao Qian urged her to sit on the sofa.

“I’m not hungry, Mom. Are you feeling better?”

“Ah… What can I do, whether I’m feeling better or not? I can’t control him, whatever he wants to do.” After hearing that Chu Xue might have a child, Jia Xiufang felt uneasy.

Buying food for Xiao Qian, seeing the neon lights of Night Shanghai, she calmed down. Although her heart felt sad, she didn’t anguish over it as much.

Jia Xiufang still had two children to raise. Since that man ran off with another woman, she couldn’t dwell on it.

“The Old Lady was nagging me about your affairs all afternoon. You really shouldn’t have said you were pregnant, it got her all worked up.”

“I only said that because the situation was tense. If I hadn’t, Chu Xue would have gone to my grandma’s place and caused trouble. Who knows if my grandma would have gotten sick from all the stress?”

The Old Lady was quite traditional, and if she knew her son had divorced and was tangled up with another woman, she would not be able to stand it.

“Ah, your grandma seemed quite upset too. Although she divorced your father, she didn’t treat us, her daughters-in-law, badly. I don’t know how to handle this situation.”

Xiao Qian nodded, “You just handle it the way you normally would. Right now, my grandma doesn’t know about the divorce, and you shouldn’t mention it. My grandma is old and can’t handle any stimulation. If she has to hear about it, let Chen Lin tell her.”

“Ah, I guess that’s all we can do. But I’m so upset. Your grandma really cares about you. Even though we divorced…”

It was awkward to suddenly divorce after addressing each other as relatives for so long. The interaction was awkward as well.

“Don’t worry about what others do, just be true to yourself. Tomorrow you prepare some dumplings for me to take to my grandma. She likes the dumplings you make. Also, prepare a portion for my brother. I’ll take them, you don’t need to. I’ll handle Chu Xue’s side, you don’t have to worry about anything.”

“Qian’er, can your brother really handle the situation? When can we bring him back?” Jia Xiufang felt uneasy when mentioning her son.

He hadn’t called for the past few days, and she had no idea how he was doing.

“Supposedly, these two days, we should be able to pick him up. I’ll see how he behaves tomorrow before making a decision.” Xiao Qian tucked her hair back, and Jia Xiufang suddenly noticed the gold bracelet on her wrist.

“Where did you get that?”

“It’s from Yu Minglang’s mother.” Xiao Qian took off the bracelet, and Jia Xiufang pointed at her forehead with an annoyed look.

“You, I can’t believe you went to his house without telling me! Did you go empty-handed?”

She knew that Yu Minglang’s family was particularly well-off and was afraid her daughter might be looked down upon. She hadn’t taught her daughter the necessary etiquettes for the first meeting with her boyfriend’s family, so she didn’t know how it went.

“No, Yu Minglang bought some fruits. How could I go empty-handed?”

“What are his family like? Were they friendly to you? Did they make you do any work?”

“His dad is a businessman, and he used to be a pilot. His mom is a doctor. I met his eldest brother and sister-in-law too, everything was fine. They treated me warmly, and they have a maid, so I didn’t need to help.”

Jia Xiufang was still not reassured, “Do you think they were satisfied with you?”

Xiao Qian chuckled at her mother’s unnecessary concern, “My mom raised me, and I’m well-spoken and capable. How could they possibly find anything to criticize?”

“That’s true. They did give you a big gold bracelet, so they must have been satisfied. But it’s too valuable. Let me keep it for you until you get married. If things don’t work out between you two, we have to return it.”

Jia Xiufang always felt that Yu Minglang’s family was too well off, having a maid and giving such valuable gifts on their first meeting, which made her feel uneasy.

“That jade bracelet you’re wearing isn’t worth much, just wear it for fun. Chen Xiaoqian, I must tell you that it’s their business if they’re rich. You mustn’t be greedy for everything. Understand? Our family may not have much, but we can’t let them look down on us! You two aren’t even married yet!”

Xiao Qian laughed, thinking about the jade not being valuable, similar to a Cartier bracelet not being solid gold, which was just as funny.

She hugged her mother’s neck, “I know, my good mother. Everyone praises me for my manners, which is all thanks to your teaching.”

“Really?” Jia Xiufang liked hearing this, and Xiao Qian nodded. If it wasn’t for the Second Sister-in-law as a comparison, she wouldn’t be so highly valued in her mother’s heart.

Jia Xiufang put the matter of Chen Lin and Chu Xue behind her and began questioning her daughter about the details of their first meeting with her future mother-in-law. After a comprehensive review, she felt that Xiao Qian performed well and was finally relieved.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Qian went upstairs to her room, put the photo of Yu Minglang’s naked childhood that she had stolen from his house into her wallet, and covered it with a mini address book.

The intimate photo of Yu Minglang was a secret that only she could know.

After leaving her mother-in-law’s house feeling furious, Wang Xiaohong returned home and vented her anger to her mother. When that didn’t alleviate her frustration, she picked up the phone and called Yu Mingyi instead.

Yu Mingyi had just hung up the phone with Yu Minglang, and assumed his brother was calling again.

“Yu Mingyi, your family is too much!” Wang Xiaohong’s voice came through, and Yu Mingyi calmly switched to speakerphone.

“Mhm.” He began looking through some documents.

“How could your mother treat me like this!”

“Mhm.” He picked up a pen to make some notes.

“She went too far today! Your youngest brother brought his girlfriend home, and your mother gave her a bracelet. The eldest sister-in-law also got something. They forced me to give my favorite earrings to her!”

Wang Xiaohong rambled on for a while, but received no response, so she raised her voice.

“Yu Mingyi, are you even listening to me?”

“Mhm.”

“What did I say?”

Yu Mingyi was already halfway through the documents, and when he heard her question, he nonchalantly continued to write.

“Don’t you know what you said yourself?”

“Yu Mingyi!!!” Wang Xiaohong was about to explode. He always acted like this, never responding to her words. Being with such a man was simply unbearable.

“Yu Mingyi, I want a divorce!”

“Mhm?” Yu Mingyi paused with the tip of his pen, “Are you sure you want a divorce?”

Wang Xiaohong was just showing off and didn’t really dare to divorce.

“I, I just said it casually. Aren’t you the one who doesn’t agree to a divorce? If we could, I would have left a long time ago.” Wang Xiaohong said hesitantly, as the word “divorce” was often on the tip of her tongue, and she would mention it at any moment.

But hearing it from Yu Mingyi’s mouth was the first time.

“I respect your choice.. Do you want a divorce?”
