Marrying a wealthy family for the second time, being spoiled by a paranoid childhood sweetheart

"...Jiang Ru, you've developed this kind of temper in these two years at home?!"

Jiang Ru slowly raised her eyes.

The two people snuggling intimately on the sofa opposite, one is her husband who went abroad to work after marriage, and the other is her husband's new love.

"Just because I won't personally pour a cup of tea for your new lover, does that make me lazy and arrogant?"

Zhou Yiran's eyes were complicated, and he sighed, "You obviously wouldn't argue with me about this before."

Before he went abroad, Jiang Ru was elegant, dignified, beautiful and generous, and her every move exuded a nobility that could not be ignored.

But now?

Zhou Yiran looked at his wife in front of him. Her hair was casually tied up, her face was yellow and dull, and her hands were much rougher than before.

"I'm just cooking at home and taking care of my parents, why have you become so sloppy?"

Zhou Yiran couldn't hide his disgust. He turned to look at the pretty girl beside him, and then his eyes softened.

Jiang Ru didn't argue with him.

During the two years he was abroad, his parents-in-law dismissed the maid to reduce expenses and did all the housework themselves.

In addition to handling company affairs, she gradually neglected her appearance.

Jiang Ru pursed her lips and unconsciously rubbed her hands which had become a little rough.

"Yiran, please be nicer to your sister."

The girl next to Zhou Yiran nudged him and said, "You're working outside, and I'm taking care of the family at home. It's normal for me to forget to dress up."

Jiang Ru's eyes darkened slightly.

It seems that she knew about their relationship a long time ago.

Lu Lin took out a box from his bag and handed it to Jiang Ru with a smile.

"Sister, this is a necklace I picked out especially for you."

The box opened, revealing an emerald necklace.

The gems were dazzling, but to Jiang Ru, who was now neglecting to dress up, they were obviously ironic.

Jiang Ru looked between the necklace and the woman in front of her, then pushed the necklace back.

"Given our current relationship, it's inappropriate for you to call me sister. As for this necklace..."

She paused, "Didn't Zhou Yiran tell you? I think this style makes me look old."

Lu Lin's smile froze.

"I don't know if he really forgot what we said when we got married, or if he deliberately didn't remind you."

As if she hadn't noticed Zhou Yiran's dark expression, Jiang Ru continued, "But if you say you forgot, that's unlikely."

She chuckled, "After all, he spent all his savings at the time."

As she spoke, Zhou Yiran instantly recalled the difficult life his family lived when they were impoverished two years ago.

Although the Jiang family had problems at that time, they still had far more funds than the Zhou family.

When his shameful past was brought up, Zhou Yiran became angry and ashamed.

"Jiang Ru! What's so good about talking about the past?! Look at you now, how can you be so insolent as to despise the gift Linlin prepared for you?!"

Meeting the man's angry and annoyed gaze, Jiang Ru felt a pain in her heart. What was she like now?

"Since you have this attitude, I'll tell you directly." Zhou Yiran embraced Lu Lin and said, "Let's get a divorce. I want to marry Linlin and take her home."

Jiang Ru felt a dense, stabbing pain in her heart, her face turned pale, and she even had difficulty breathing.

She did so much just so that Zhou Yiran could work outside with peace of mind.

In the end, I only heard this sentence.

Jiang Ru clenched her hands, her eyes slightly red.

Zhou Yiran lowered his head and kissed Lu Lin on the forehead gently and lovingly.

"Linlin is the best girl I've ever met. Lively, cute, and considerate," he said, glancing at Jiang Ru. "She's completely different from a woman like you who only cares about rules and is boring and indifferent."

The familiar face carries the love for another woman.

Boring and indifferent.

Jiang Ru took a deep breath and didn't notice that her palms had been scratched with several red marks.

When we got married, he said...

Xiaoru is gentle and quiet, which is rare in today's society. She is much better than those women who only know how to act coquettishly and ask for things.

"Don't worry, I'll give you everything I owe you after the divorce, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Jiang Ru looked at his affectionate expression as he looked at Lu Lin, felt the pain in her heart, and lowered her eyes silently.

After a long pause, he said, "Since you have made up your mind, let's get a divorce."

Since he is no longer the same person as before, it is better to cut losses in time.

Jiang Ru looked indifferent, as if she had no emotions at all because of this matter.

Zhou Yiran was choked and looked at her with a frown.

Is this her attitude?

Jiang Ru didn't want to argue with the two of them anymore and slowly stood up.

She was about to leave when she paused. "By the way, before we get divorced, I hope you two can control yourselves. Don't let your cheating affect me."

The voice was gentle and shallow, yet full of sarcasm.

It seems that when it comes to her husband's infidelity, she only cares about herself.

Lu Lin snuggled in Zhou Yiran's arms with an ugly look on his face.

Isn't she just a divorced woman who was abandoned by her husband? Why are you pretending?!

Upon hearing the news that their son had returned to China and brought a woman with him, Zhou Yiran's parents, who were shopping outside, quickly rushed back.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a strange woman snuggling with her son.

"Where did you come from, you little bitch! What are you doing?!"

Zhou Yiran was stunned and immediately pulled Lu Lin up.

"Mom and Dad, how could you say that to Linlin?! I'm telling you, I'm going to divorce Jiang Ru and marry Linlin as Mrs. Zhou!"

"what?!"

Father Zhou's face turned red with anger.

As soon as Jiang Ru packed her luggage and came out, Zhou's mother grabbed her arm.

"I don't agree! The daughter-in-law of our Zhou family can only be Xiaoru!"

Zhou's mother held Jiang Ru's arm, feeling a little resentful.

You little bastard, even if you dislike Jiang Ru, you can't be so open about it!

If outsiders knew about this, who knows what they would say about him.

Seeing his parents' resolute opposition, Zhou Yiran gritted his teeth and said, "Linlin is already pregnant!"

boom--

Jiang Ru shuddered and looked at him in disbelief.

"pregnant?"

Zhou Yiran's eyes wandered, not daring to meet her gaze. "She's been pregnant with my child for three months."

Jiang Ru's eyes went dark, and she forced herself not to fall.

This marriage was actually a good choice for her.

Before the marriage, something unexpected happened to the family's company. A corporate spy stole the business secrets, causing the rival company to release new products ahead of schedule. The spy then turned the tables and framed the rival company.

My father was sentenced to prison, and my mother collapsed and died without a single breath left.

At this time, the Zhou family agreed to this marriage, which could have been canceled.

She was taught by her family since she was young that girls should be gentle, decent, elegant and dignified. In addition, the Zhou family had extended a helping hand, which allowed her to take out the dowry that her mother had prepared long ago without saying a word.

But the husband who had said that he would only do any intimate acts when she agreed, got someone else pregnant during the two years he was abroad.

Three months pregnant.

A few months before Zhou Yiran returned to China, Mingming often called her and asked her to wait for him to come back and have a child.

Jiang Ru staggered a step and tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

Beside him, Zhou Yiran hugged Lu Lin tightly, his tone firm.

"Linlin is already pregnant. I can't let the child be born with the reputation of being an illegitimate child. Therefore, this marriage must be divorced!"

When his parents heard the news, they also hesitated.

Although they wanted the Jiang family's property, this was the Zhou family's first grandson after all...

If you don't want your child to be illegitimate, then why do you do it?

Jiang Ru wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, unable to hide her disappointment.

"Zhou Yiran, we can get a divorce, but don't forget what you said. I hope you won't lose a cent of what you owe me."

Being considerate and respectful is what Mrs. Zhou wants to do.

But as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she would not give anyone else a cent of what she deserved.
