Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop
Chapter 122: Yang Yixue Knocks, But It’s Not Jiang Liu Who Opens the Door?
She knew very well how to take care of her son and even paid attention to his preferences.
For instance, their son liked fatty pork.
And this girl had remembered it.
But Yang Yixue?
She only ever cared about her own enjoyment. She had nearly starved her granddaughter to death at home.
Let alone taking care of her son.
Jiang Dahai and Lin Qiu felt more and more certain that this divorce was the right decision. In fact, it was fantastically liberating!
The five of them even cracked open a few cans of cold beer.
Before long, Jiang Dahai and Lin Qiu were stuffed.
Their bellies were completely full.
It was too delicious!
Urged on by his mother’s expectant gaze, Jiang Liu finished every last bite of the shredded potatoes with tomato and the scrambled eggs with green peppers.
’The taste of Mom’s cooking.’
’The taste of home!’
...
「Huasheng District, at the entrance to the underground garage.」
A Porsche was stopped in front of the boom barrier.
The old security guard looked at the license plate with suspicion, then walked over to the driver’s side window. "What’s your business here in our community?"
Yang Yixue finally cracked the window open a little. "Could you please open it? I’m here to visit my daughter."
She had called and texted Jiang Liu all day, but he hadn’t answered.
She was furious.
On top of that, her business income had been dropping for the past two days, and she’d had disgusting experiences on more than ten blind dates.
This made her even more desperate to remarry Jiang Liu.
Yang Yixue had come to a clear realization: Jiang Liu was the man for her.
So she decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with him!
’As long as I can just see Jiang Liu.’
’We’ll definitely be able to clear the air.’
’After all, he’s still in love with me.’
The security guard didn’t hesitate.
"Sure, but if there are no regular spots, you’ll have to use the temporary parking. It’s two yuan an hour."
"Hurry up. My time is precious."
"I need you to register your phone number and the purpose of your visit."
Yang Yixue impatiently finished the registration and sped into the underground garage.
After getting out of the car,
She was carrying the gift she had bought for Tongtong.
Yang Yixue had no idea what Tongtong liked, so she had simply spent fifteen hundred yuan on a tablet.
Her high heels made lonely CLACK-CLACK sounds on the green-painted floor.
After wandering around in circles for a bit, Yang Yixue finally found the entrance to the B2 elevator.
She was incredibly annoyed.
’Jiang Liu should have come down to get me. How could he let a girl like me wander around a dark underground parking garage all by myself?’
She got in the elevator.
Following her vague memory from last time, she arrived at the door to Jiang Liu’s apartment.
The corridor was filled with the fragrant smell of stir-fried pork with chili peppers.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
Yang Yixue knocked on the door with a smile on her face.
Inside.
Jiang Liu and Tongtong were in the shower.
Hearing the sound, Lin Qiu said, puzzled, "Who could be here so late at night?"
Jun Qingmeng thought it might be Guo Jia and quickly stood up. "Auntie, I’ll go see who it is."
With that, she got up and walked to the door.
Huh??
The moment the door opened,
Both women froze.
Yang Yixue’s pupils contracted.
A firestorm of rage exploded in her heart.
’Why is there a strange woman in the house??’
’And she’s so beautiful!?’
’That shameless Jiang Liu! We just got divorced, and he’s already found a new lover!!’
"Where’s Jiang Liu?"
Yang Yixue asked coldly.
Jun Qingmeng was confused. "And you are? What do you need Jiang Liu for?"
She had heard the name Yang Yixue but had never seen her in person.
"I’m asking you where Jiang Liu is! Tell him to get out here and see me, now!!"
The woman’s question confirmed this was the right place! Unable to contain her fury, Yang Yixue roared.
Her voice even cracked.
She was furious, absolutely furious.
’So, he found himself a homewrecker!!’
Jun Qingmeng’s expression didn’t show a single ripple in response to the other woman’s anger.
Instead, she became even more calm and composed.
The aura of a high-society lady radiated from her.
She said coolly, "Why are you shouting so loud? Have you been so greatly wronged? Besides, if you have something to say, say it. If not, please leave. Don’t disturb our family reunion."
As the young lady of a publicly-traded company, Jun Qingmeng had never been intimidated by an ordinary person.
In the next moment,
Yang Yixue was like a chick with its throat seized.
She forcibly swallowed the anger she was about to spit out.
The two of them were not on the same level at all.
With a single glance from Jun Qingmeng, Yang Yixue felt like a performing clown.
She was stunned.
It took several seconds for Yang Yixue to react.
’Humiliation.’
’I was actually intimidated by a homewrecker?!’
Seething, Yang Yixue spat, "Family reunion?! I am Jiang Liu’s wife! You tell him to get out here and see me!"
"I have something to tell him!"
’Wife??’
Only then did Jun Qingmeng understand the identity of the flashy woman before her.
’This is Jiang Liu’s ex-wife?’ 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
At the same time,
A sour feeling churned in her heart, as if a dozen bottles of vinegar had been knocked over.
’So this was the woman who had occupied her Jiang Liu’s life for five years.’
’She had waited for five years.’
For a moment, Jun Qingmeng didn’t speak.
After all, Jiang Liu hadn’t agreed to be with her yet. She had no standing to say anything to the woman before her.
Just then,
Lin Qiu, who had heard the commotion and rushed over, stepped right between the two of them.
Scowling, she confronted Yang Yixue coldly.
"What are you yelling about?! You think you’re the only one with a loud voice? And you say you’re Jiang Liu’s wife? How can you be so shameless? Who do you think you are to us?"
"This woman right here in front of you is Jiang Liu’s fiancée. Who the hell do you think you are? Why don’t you get lost?"
Jun Qingmeng was instantly filled with a sense of security.
’I have someone backing me up too.’
’My future mother-in-law is here. I have nothing to be afraid of, hmph!’
Yang Yixue’s face turned pale, then livid, from the verbal assault.
’Jiang Liu is engaged to this woman??’
’Why!’
’I was willing to reconcile!’
’And...’
She compared herself to the other woman, and for a moment, she had the distinct feeling that she was a plate of spoiled leftovers at a grand banquet.
’Jiang Liu still has feelings for me, there’s still hope...’ Yang Yixue comforted herself, forcing a pained smile. "Mom, it’s me, your daughter-in-law. I even gave you a granddaughter..."
"Get lost!" Lin Qiu interrupted impatiently, waving her hand dismissively.
"What daughter-in-law? How can you be so shameless? Do you just call anyone you meet ’Mom’?!"
"You’re divorced and you’re still calling me ’Mom’? Isn’t that disgusting? Let me make it perfectly clear: we’re strangers now. Do you understand what ’strangers’ means?"
"No—Mom!! How can you be like this?" Yang Yixue’s chest heaved. She shot a venomous glare at Jun Qingmeng and said resentfully,
"So what if we’re divorced? It’s not like we can’t remarry. Jiang Liu obviously didn’t want to divorce me! You let him out here. I’ve decided to remarry him!"
"And another thing! Tongtong is my daughter too. It’s not up to some random person to be her mother, and Tongtong wouldn’t want that either!"
’Go, Auntie, go...’ Jun Qingmeng cheered silently from behind Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu laughed with anger. "Hah. Your whole family is shameless. You want to remarry? What about my son’s house, huh?"
"You wanted my son’s house, so you threatened him with a custody battle over Tongtong, forcing my son to sign your terms."
"Now you want to remarry, and you want your daughter back too? Do you think all the good things in the world are just supposed to fall into your lap?"
Yang Yixue retorted frantically, "No!! It wasn’t like that at all! When we divorced, I wanted Tongtong from the start. It was Jiang Liu who offered me the house! I only agreed because I saw how much he wanted Tongtong!"
"If I hadn’t agreed, would Jiang Liu have gotten Tongtong? He should be thanking me, okay!?!"
’What does it have to do with me?’
’Jiang Liu was the one who insisted on having his daughter and giving up the property.’
’How can he blame me?’
’It’s all his own fault!’
Yang Yixue didn’t think she was the slightest bit in the wrong.
