After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

Having been reborn, even though I had long since given up on Jiang Yuwei, I was still her husband after all. I was imprisoned, but she remained aloof, which chilled my heart.

My mother-in-law was still nagging, "You and your father are the same, both of you are just freeloaders."

I felt my face must look terrible, and I didn't want to hide it. I stared intently at Jiang's mother and practically forced out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"As the wife of the Jiang Group, is it really well-mannered to be so sarcastic and mean-spirited towards your son-in-law in front of so many people?"

"How dare you speak like that to your mother-in-law?" Jiang's mother's face immediately turned ugly, and she glanced at me with displeasure.

My face darkened. "Let's leave each other some room to maneuver, no matter what you say or what I say."

My mother-in-law must have really wanted to yell at me. She moved her mouth several times but couldn't say a word. Seeing that no one was responding, she suppressed her anger and changed the subject.

“You don’t know, Yuwei has been married for over a year and there’s not a hint of pregnancy in her belly. I’m just worried that Ye Qiu might have some kind of problem and not be able to leave an heir for our Jiang family.”

“But I care about my son-in-law very much. I sought medical treatment for him everywhere and went to great lengths. Most importantly, I didn’t let him do anything as hard as being pregnant. Not only was he ungrateful, but he also scolded me and thought I was meddling. In this world, it’s really harder to be a mother-in-law than a mother-in-law!”

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

I watched her performance with great emotion, and I couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Even the wealthiest families have parents who treat people differently based on their wealth; being rich does not equate to being cultured or well-mannered.

In both my past and present lives, I am always amazed that someone as concerned with his reputation as my father-in-law would marry someone as talkative and gossipy as my mother-in-law.

Everyone lowered their heads to eat, and someone advised my mother-in-law, "Take your time with the children. Parents don't need to worry too much. Yuwei and Yeqiu are still young."

Jiang Yuwei ate with her head down, every movement exuding elegance, her beautiful face devoid of any emotion, as if she hadn't heard a word.

I knew she didn't care at all, and I ignored her too, but how could Mother Jiang let it go? She beckoned to the nanny to bring over the medicine.

The nanny brought out a bowl of medicine soup and carefully placed it in front of me, afraid of spilling it.

Looking at the still-steaming, brownish-red herbal soup in the bowl, the unpleasant yet familiar smell filled the air. Those sitting close to me covered their noses and frowned.

I stared coldly at the familiar bowl of medicine, thinking about how my mother had forced me to drink it, and fell into deep thought.

Soon, Jiang's mother interrupted me: "This medicine is a bit bitter, but it's good for your health. You should listen to me and drink the medicine. Give our Jiang family a descendant. You won't have to take care of the child, so you won't lose out."

She always puts me first, acting like a wonderful mother-in-law.

I didn't believe her and calmly refused, "I won't drink it."

After being repeatedly humiliated by me today, Jiang's mother finally couldn't take it anymore and spoke up in a fit of anger and embarrassment.

"Ye Qiu! What's wrong with you today? You don't want to do this, you don't want to do that, and now the medicine is all ready for you, and you're still not happy? What, are you trying to rebel?!"

"You have to drink today, whether you like it or not!"

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards me aggressively.

All eyes were on us, and no one said a word. The main members of the Jiang family were at odds, and they were all eager to see us make a fool of ourselves.

Jiang Hai merely frowned slightly without saying a word; of course, he also hoped I would drink the medicine.

Jiang Yuwei and her younger brother Jiang Yichen were even more indifferent, as if they had gotten used to their mother's temper.

However, just as she was about to walk up to me and force-feed me the medicine, I suddenly pulled a test report out of my pocket and slapped it in front of my mother: "Mom, look at the test report."

Jiang's mother suddenly stopped, her face cold. "Don't think that showing me some random test results will make you not have to take your medicine."

Then, he picked up the test report and looked at it carefully.

Someone in the room chuckled and said, "Could it be that Yuwei is already pregnant and the young couple has been keeping it a secret?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised, and Jiang Yuwei glanced at me.

"No." Jiang Yuwei frowned and calmly denied such a statement.

I chuckled to myself, realizing that Jiang Yuwei only reacted when it involved her personally.

After hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Jiang's mother's expression changed slightly, and then after looking at the test results, her face turned completely dark.

Jiang Yichen got up with great interest and stepped forward, wanting to find out what was going on.

"Mom, what's the test report? Let me see it."

But Jiang's mother acted like a mouse seeing a cat, quickly crumpling the paper into a ball and throwing it into the trash can.

"It's nothing, just eat your food."

Jiang Yichen gave a dissatisfied "oh," but I looked at Lu's mother, whose face was gloomy, and kindly explained to him, "That was my sperm biopsy. The doctor said I never smoke or drink and am very healthy. If the woman's body is fine, she can get pregnant in just a few tries."

Instantly, I heard a chorus of exclamations.

I covered my mouth and sneered, saying, "Mom, I've already told you, it's Jiang Yuwei's problem. She can't give birth, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"I also want to fulfill your wish as soon as possible, because I want to have a child myself."

Jiang Yichen was greatly shocked and asked loudly, "What?! My sister can't have children?"

With a bang, the glass shattered.

I saw Jiang Yuwei's face suddenly turn cold and grim; her eyes were filled with a vicious glint, as if she were about to tear me apart. The crowd's expressions grew even stranger, all turning to look at Jiang Yuwei as if she were a laughingstock.

I could actually guess that any ordinary woman would be humiliated if she were accused of being unable to have children and carry on the family line in front of so many people, let alone someone as rich and powerful as Jiang Yuwei, whose family actually has a throne to inherit.

Seeing Jiang Yuwei's face growing increasingly grim, I smiled faintly. I thought she really didn't care about anything and didn't take it to heart, but now that things have messed with her, it turns out she does care.

"Yes, I didn't want to say it in public, afraid of hurting Yuwei's feelings, but..."

Jiang's mother interrupted me angrily, "Enough! Aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

I smiled back and said, "I'm just afraid that Mom won't believe me. Besides, Mom loves to say that I'm not good enough in front of everyone. I have to prove myself so that everyone won't misunderstand, right?"
