Old Sir Jiang looked at his stubborn eldest granddaughter and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Jiang Wenhui looked determined, "I’ve thought it through."

Old Sir Jiang nodded, "Then let’s leave it at that."

"Dad!" Qiu Shuyun shouted, clearly dissatisfied with the outcome.

"Wenhui is not someone who makes trouble without reason." Old Sir Jiang’s words silenced her, "You should be concerned if she’s been wronged. The girls of the Jiang Family must not be bullied."

Qiu Shuyun was at a loss. Just as Jiang Wenhui was getting divorced, her temper flared up, and she didn’t pay attention to anything else. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Yin Manqing sighed, "Wenhui must have been wronged. Second sister-in-law, as a mother, how could you slap her without understanding right from wrong? Doesn’t that break the child’s heart?"

Qiu Shuyun glared at Yin Manqing, her teeth grinding with hatred, "I was just acting out of concern."

"Really?" Yin Manqing sneered, as if everyone didn’t already know the origins of Wenhui’s marriage.

"Grandpa, it’s getting late. Mu Yan and I will head back first." Jiang Jingheng suddenly spoke up.

Old Sir Jiang glanced at the two and said, "Let’s call it off for this year. Next year, you’ll have to spend the New Year at home."

Mu Yan, seeing the old man so understanding, responded, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The old man said nothing else, and Yin Manqing couldn’t say much either, only regretting losing a chance to show off in front of relatives and friends.

She said to Mu Yan, "You’re going to Beijing on the second, right? I’ll have the driver deliver the gifts tomorrow. If you need anything else, just let me know within these two days."

Mu Yan nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom."

"No need to be so formal, we’re family," Yin Manqing smiled.

Despite sometimes doing things that annoyed her, this daughter-in-law knew her place.

Mu Yan glanced at Jiang Wenhui, seeing her looking relieved, and felt she had no standing to say anything.

Whether a marriage is happy or not, only those involved know. Forced marriages do not last. Since it’s her decision, she shouldn’t regret it.

After the two left, the others also went back to their rooms.

Qiu Shuyun was still unsatisfied and went directly to Jiang Wenhui’s room.

"You need to explain to me why Dongliang wants to divorce you?"

Jiang Wenhui found this question amusing, "Why is it him wanting to divorce me and not me him?"

Qiu Shuyun stubbornly said, "You must have done something to upset him."

Jiang Wenhui found it funny, "Is he your son, or am I your daughter?"

Qiu Shuyun was at a loss, angrily saying, "Don’t change the subject on me, you have to make this clear today."

Jiang Wenhui adopted a resigned attitude, "Fine, you want to know, I’ll tell you. He doesn’t love me. All these years, he’s kept things steady at home while having numerous affairs outside. Those mistresses try hard every day to push me out, and there’s no telling if he has any illegitimate children. Do you think I should stay with him?"

Qiu Shuyun was shocked, mumbling, "No, it can’t be true. Dongliang’s not that kind of person."

Jiang Wenhui looked at her amusingly, "How long have you known him, or did you ever investigate what kind of person he is? No, you did investigate—he’s the son of the Gao Family, a wealthy gentleman with a substantial family fortune. That’s what you care about. As long as I marry him, the Gao Family can lend a hand when Yu Tai competes for the Jiang Family’s inheritance."

Qiu Shuyun’s face turned extremely unpleasant, "Am I not doing this for your benefit? A young madam of the Gao Family, such prestige, living a life of luxury and admiration."

Jiang Wenhui shouted, "But I don’t want to be a laughingstock!"
