Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Persuade Her to Divorce

"Xiao Li, what are you planning?" Jiang Xue feigned ignorance, though her mind was swirling with thoughts. In her previous life, Cheng Li had asked her the same question.

How did she respond back then?

Oh right, she seemed to have said, "Of course I’m getting a divorce!"

That’s right, that’s exactly what she said. Because after she found out she was pregnant, Jiang Xue didn’t want the child. Later, Mu Qiancheng specifically rushed back from the military to reach an agreement with her: if she was willing to have the child, he would divorce her.

At that time, she had no idea how difficult it was to dissolve a military marriage; she thought that once the child was born, they could indeed get divorced. So she foolishly agreed to Mu Qiancheng’s demand and gave birth to the child.

As a result, after giving birth, when Mu Qiancheng returned, she brought up the matter of divorce. Mu Qiancheng disagreed, and after a heated argument, Mu Qiancheng left, and she soon followed, leaving the child behind.

And thus, she was gone for five years and never saw the child again, not even until her death.

"Little Xue, you haven’t forgotten, have you?" Cheng Li looked at Jiang Xue with a face full of shock.

"Forgotten what?" Jiang Xue continued to feign ignorance, which exasperated Cheng Li, who then said in an iron-hearted tone: "Forgotten what, of course the divorce. Don’t you remember? When you didn’t want this child, Mu Qiancheng agreed to your terms."

"Oh, you’re talking about that, of course I remember." Jiang Xue displayed a look of sudden realization.

"Good, as long as you remember. So, when are you planning to bring up this matter with Mu Qiancheng?" Cheng Li asked eagerly, causing Jiang Xue to furrow her brows and reply with a difficult expression, "I haven’t figured it out yet."

"What!" Cheng Li shrieked, saying, "You’ve already had the child, how come you haven’t figured it out yet? Let me tell you, this divorce matter needs to be brought up quickly, otherwise, if Mu Qiancheng leaves, you’ll have to wait again."

See, this seemed entirely like she had Jiang Xue’s best interest at heart. If it were the Jiang Xue from her previous life, she would have been immensely grateful to Cheng Li, feeling like she was the only person in the world who truly cared for her.

However, the Jiang Xue of today was no longer the Jiang Xue of the past, so upon hearing this, her heart was nothing but cold. Yet, she didn’t show it on her face and casually said, "Alright, I’ll take your advice and bring it up with him later."

Now understanding Cheng Li’s purpose for coming, Jiang Xue didn’t want to continue talking with her.

Besides, it was a bit chilly in the courtyard. Even though she wore a hat and thick clothes, she felt a bit uncomfortable after being out for too long.

"That’s more like it, I await your good news." Having achieved her goal, Cheng Li was in a good mood and didn’t waste words with Jiang Xue, getting up to leave directly.

Jiang Xue watched Cheng Li leave, her gaze turning cold. This Cheng Li had the nerve to push her towards divorce, truly vicious. It’s said one should demolish ten temples rather than wreck one marriage.

Yet Cheng Li seemed to fear she wouldn’t get a divorce, even going out of her way to say so.

"She’s gone!" Mu Qiancheng didn’t know when he came to Jiang Xue’s side and asked calmly. But his heart was pulsing with pain.

Earlier, he didn’t listen to Jiang Xue’s words and stay in the room with the child; instead, he stood behind the door in the living room, listening clearly to their conversation.

Upon hearing Jiang Xue agree to Cheng Li’s suggestion of divorce, his heart hurt so much he almost couldn’t breathe, barely controlling the urge to rush into the courtyard and beat up Cheng Li.

In the end, he held back; he knew he couldn’t.
