Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Are You Looking for a Chance to Divorce?

Xu Jingmin looked at Zhou Shuyan with a face full of smugness, "Weren’t you especially afraid of my going to the school to find Lu Youxi before?"

Zhou Shuyan helplessly pinched the corner of his eye and said with a bitter smile, "Then, where would you like to begin listening?"

"Start from the beginning." Xu Jingmin finished scolding and calmed down, "Haven’t you been in Hexing Village for less than two months? How did you start to like her already? Even if you liked her, that’s fine, but it’s only been two months, and you’ve already gotten your certificates? Weren’t you moving a bit too fast?"

"Zhou Shuyan, you really like her, don’t you? It’s not because you were confused by the environment at the time and felt you liked her under those circumstances and went to get married, did you? And after coming back, free from the previous environment’s influence, you regretted it, thinking you didn’t truly like her?" Xu Jingmin spoke more and more as if it were possible.

Continuing her own conjectures, she said, "Is that why you haven’t told your family you got married? Are you looking for a chance to get a divorce?"

Xu Jingmin had a sudden revelation, "I got it, you’re not divorcing because the division of the property hasn’t been settled, right? After all, in families like ours, divorce is rather complicated, involving many different aspects."

Zhou Shuyan felt if Xu Jingmin speculated any further, she would turn him into a major scumbag of the century.

"No, don’t start imagining things," Zhou Shuyan quickly interjected, "Don’t you want to hear it from me? Then don’t make up your own versions."

Xu Jingmin pursed her lips and said, "Then you talk, but you better make sense, and what you say better be the truth. I’m definitely going to ask Miss Lu to confirm it."

"I’m really clever, you know. If you lie to me, I’ll be able to tell!" Xu Jingmin warned.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

"Yes, I definitely won’t deceive you. Even though I hid the fact that I married Lu Youxi, everything else I’ve told you was true. Everything I told you about Lu Youxi is true, too; there was no deception," Zhou Shuyan explained.

He didn’t mind; he was Xu Jingmin’s son.

No matter how angry Xu Jingmin got, she would forgive him.

But it wasn’t the same with Lu Youxi.

He had to explain things for Lu Youxi first.

Xu Jingmin listened, rather pleased with herself, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curving up, "I told you, I can tell when you’re lying to me."

Zhou Shuyan nodded in affirmation, "Of course."

"Then I’m going to talk," Zhou Shuyan said.

"Get on with it," Xu Jingmin was getting a little impatient, eagerly urging him on.

"You know, it was Lu Youxi and Grandma Xu who saved me. If no one had found or cared about me under those circumstances, I would have died by the roadside," Zhou Shuyan spoke.

Xu Jingmin felt a twinge in her heart, "Mm-hmm."

"After I was discharged from the hospital, I lived in Grandma Xu’s home in Hexing Village. Her children were all working in the city, and she was home alone. Only Grandma Xu’s home had a room to take me in, and I just happened to be able to help her with some things," Zhou Shuyan continued.

"At the time, Lu Youxi’s family situation was that her parents were very good to her and they were not biased against her or her younger brother. It’s just that at that time, her paternal grandparents also lived with them. Her grandparents were very biased towards males, her mother was a bit too weak at that time, and her father was somewhat foolishly filial; they could only secretly pity Lu Youxi, giving her secretly what her brother had, but did not dare to be open about it."

Xu Jingmin frowned, "Even so, her parents still failed in their duties."

"Yes, and this is what I admire most about Lu Youxi, because she managed to turn around her parents’ attitudes," Zhou Shuyan took the opportunity to praise Lu Youxi again.

Xu Jingmin loved this kind of capable and self-reliant girl the most.

Sure enough, hearing him say that, Xu Jingmin’s eyes lit up, "How did she manage it?"

"You listen to me in order," Zhou Shuyan spoke, slowly telling Xu Jingmin in detail the events that had happened in Hexing Village, "Lu Youxi was admitted to Jing University, but the family had no money. Because all the money was drained by her cousin, Lu Youbang."

Zhou Shuyan diverted the conversation to the affairs of Lu Youbang and Lu Zhenjia’s family.

"These parasitic bloodsuckers with their gender biases!" Xu Jingmin exclaimed angrily.

"Her parents, however, supported her education and said they would provide for her, even if it meant selling their cauldron. But her uncle, Lu Zhenjia, heard about this and feared that if Lu Youxi got an education, she would have the chance not to return to the village and be out of his control, so he and his wife went to Foolish Hu’s family from a neighboring village, demanding a dowry of 100,000 to have Lu Youxi marry into Foolish Hu’s family."

"Those bastards! Lu Youxi isn’t their daughter; what rights do they have to sell her!" Aunt Yao was completely engrossed and indignant, her eyes even reddening as she said, "If I had such a capable and promising daughter, I wouldn’t let anyone bully her!"

Zhou Shuyan smiled and said, "This matter was kept from Lu Youxi’s family. Lu Youxi’s parents didn’t know; it was her younger brother who overheard it and quietly told Lu Youxi."

"That brother is sensible," Aunt Yao praised, "But why didn’t he tell her parents?"

Zhou Shuyan felt somewhat at a loss for words.

Xu Jingmin pursed her lips and said, "Because even her brother knew that when it came to this matter, his parents were not reliable."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

How was he to praise Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu?

After all, they were in-laws to Xu Jingmin; they had to get along well.

Zhou Shuyan continued with the subsequent process, "To avoid this marriage, Lu Youxi asked for my help. We got a certificate to marry first, and we planned to come to the Imperial Capital and then divorce."

"Why have you two not divorced yet?" Xu Jingmin immediately followed up with the question.

Aunt Yao was also very curious about this matter; she leaned forward eagerly, waiting for Zhou Shuyan’s response.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

He rubbed his nose awkwardly, prompting Xu Jingmin to raise an eyebrow.

When had Zhou Shuyan developed such a habit?

Zhou Shuyan explained, "Initially, I agreed to help her as a way to repay a debt of gratitude. She saved my life, and at that time, I felt giving her money alone wasn’t enough. I had to be there for her at a critical moment."

"You said she didn’t know your identity at that time?" Xu Jingmin asked.

Zhou Shuyan smiled and said, "Actually, even now, her family doesn’t know."

Zhou Shuyan relayed to Xu Jingmin how he explained his family situation to Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo.

"..." Xu Jingmin commented admiringly, "You are telling the truth, after all."

It’s just that the truth was very distant from reality.

But could Zhou Shuyan be accused of lying?

Not really.

The house was indeed left by Zhou Shuyan’s father.

Zhou Shuyan did indeed work at the company, earning the money to support her.

She was indeed a single mother.

All of these points were truthful.

Now Xu Jingmin herself felt a bit sorry for Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu.

"Just as I said in those terms, they felt like they were holding back Lu Youxi," Zhou Shuyan said, "They think that without them, Lu Youxi and I would be well-matched."
