She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Hearing this, Old Zhu was indeed a little embarrassed. He asked his daughter a question and found that she was keeping her head down and not saying a word. He knew that the matter of hitting her mother-in-law was true, and he glared at Zhu Wenying.

“My dear in-laws, about this matter…” Old Zhu spoke slowly, his words cut off halfway through.

Jiang Fangru disliked Old Lady Xia the most, thinking that she was a good-natured person and that she was probably pushed to the limit to make such a scene today. She just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. She had already noticed that Yu Xue's expression was not right.

"Xiangdong's mother, even if this is true, it is indeed Wenying who was wrong. I apologize to you on her behalf." Jiang Fangru said insincerely, casually patting Zhu Wenying a few times.

These few pats made Grandma Xia realize that she had used more force when brushing dust off her clothes.

"Look, I've already hit you and scolded you. Why don't you go home first? We have things to do at home today." Jiang Fangru directly gave them the order to leave.

Grandma Xia glanced at Old Zhu, who was staring blankly, seemingly not having reacted. But Grandma Xia knew he was pretending to be stupid.

Old Zhu would be overjoyed if he could be so easily dismissed.

"Oh, what are you saying? No wonder Wenying dared to hit me. So you have someone backing you up." Old Mrs. Xia stopped pretending and turned to Yu Xue with a smile, saying, "Girl, are you looking for a partner with Zhu Wenfei? Tsk tsk tsk, your taste is really not good."

"You saw it too, their family's upbringing is terrible. The younger generation hits the elders, and her mother just let it go so easily. If you marry into their family and suffer any grievances, your future mother-in-law will probably treat you even worse."

As soon as Grandma Xia finished speaking, she met Zhu Wenfei's fierce gaze. She pretended to be scared and said, "Look, I just said something fair, and your partner looks like he wants to kill me. That look in his eyes is exactly the same as when my daughter-in-law hit me. Is he going to be abusive?"

Yu Xue looked over and saw Zhu Wenfei's fierce eyes, her heart skipped a beat. He had never acted like this in front of her; he was always gentle and considerate.

He always maintained a good temper in front of his father, and even when his father initially looked down on him, he never showed any displeasure. He even told himself that it was normal for her father to look down on him since his family wasn't as well-off as hers, and that he would work harder in the future.

At the time, she thought this man was responsible and could face his own problems directly, making him a rare good man. After telling her father, he also felt that he had a good character.

But now, she was starting to have doubts. She had witnessed and heard firsthand how their family treated their in-laws—that look of disdain made her uncomfortable. And seeing his murderous expression, she was beginning to believe her aunt's words; perhaps he really wasn't a good man.

"I...I don't think today is a good day to talk business, so I'll be leaving now." Yu Xue lowered her head, avoiding Zhu Wenfei's gaze, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.

“Xiaoxue.” Zhu Wenfei grabbed her wrist. “Don’t listen to this old woman. I’m not that kind of person.”

He was a little anxious. Today was supposed to be the girl's first time meeting his parents, and if things went well, they would start discussing marriage.

Yu Xue trembled slightly, then forcefully pulled her hand away. "I know, but your family has some things to attend to right now, so it's not convenient to talk about our business. Let's talk about it in a few days."

She ran incredibly fast, as if a ghost was chasing her, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You old hag!" Zhu Wenfei angrily raised his fist, wanting to smash it, but was stopped by Old Zhu.

"Wenfei, don't make a scene." Old Zhu was also annoyed, but seeing his son about to hit someone, he knew it was absolutely unacceptable.

If he can resolve his eldest daughter's issue today, and then try to appease Yu Xue, there might still be a chance for his eldest son's marriage. But if he injures this old hag today, then Yu Xue and he will truly be off together.

Zhu Wenfei calmed down and sat down angrily in the chair.

"Xia Yue'e, what exactly are you trying to do?" Jiang Fangru was also furious. She almost ruined the wedding. Her son had just landed this golden opportunity, and his future was bright. The Zhu family would finally be able to hold their heads high.

Now that everything is ruined, she won't let them get away with it.

Jiang Fangru grabbed her daughter and angrily rebuked her son-in-law Chen Xiangdong, "Xiangdong, I originally thought you were a good person, and I was relieved to entrust Wenying to you. But I never expected that you would let your own mother bully my daughter like this. She is pregnant. What grudge do you have that you have to torment her at this time?"

Chen Xiangdong smiled bitterly, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to Wenying, I'm sorry to you, I'll take my mom away right now."

He raised his hand and grabbed Old Lady Xia, but she nimbly dodged and slapped him across the face. "Raising you is really not as good as raising a dog. When I feed a dog, it knows to guard the house. But when I feed you, you turn around and sell me off."

Jiang Fangru: "Xia Yue'e, what exactly do you want? Are you only satisfied when you turn this house upside down? If you really can't handle it, then let them get a divorce!"

"mom?"

"mom?"

Zhu Wenying's eyes widened; she didn't want a divorce. Her life in the Chen family was incredibly comfortable. Chen Xiangdong entrusted all his money to her, and her in-laws would occasionally give them a little extra. Her mother-in-law did all the housework, and she never lifted a finger around the house, living like a pampered young lady from the old society.

Aside from this time when her mother-in-law seemed to have gone completely mad and insisted on making such a scene, she was otherwise quite content. If she got divorced, no other family would ever have such a good life.

Chen Xiangdong didn't want to either. He and Zhu Wenying were high school classmates and fell in love on their own. Although Zhu Wenying was a bit spoiled, she was devoted to their family. Besides, these days, who gets divorced so easily? If they really did, he'd be laughed at to death.

Jiang Fangru knew, of course, that she couldn't get a divorce, but she really didn't want to be overshadowed by this mother-in-law she had always looked down on, so she decided to threaten her with divorce.

Seeing the two children's anxious expressions, she was the calmest one. "Xia Yue'e, if you keep making a scene like this, I won't let my Wenying be bullied by you anymore. Today, I'll make the two children divorce."

She held her head high, certain that Old Mrs. Xia would soften her attitude and beg her, for she knew Old Mrs. Xia's character.

Zhu Wenying saw her mother give her a wink and immediately understood what she meant. She immediately put on airs and said, "Chen Xiangdong, your mother is bullying me like this, how can I have any face left? Let's get a divorce today, right now."

Chen Xiangdong looked pitiful, "Wenying..."

He turned around and angrily roared at Old Madam Xia, "Mom, are you satisfied now? You got your son divorced, are you satisfied now!"

Old Chen, puffing away on his old pipe, stopped when he heard the word "divorce." "Old woman, stop making a scene!"
