Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1224 - 808: Unwillingness (Part 2)

If he gets involved with another woman, the public pressure will be enough to knock him down a peg or two. Forget about being an official; he’ll struggle to even be a worker.

Just now, that woman—looks and figure were far inferior to hers—and she even had a child from a previous relationship. Why would Jiang Yuesheng be so devoted to her?

With these thoughts, Che Yali decided to push the door open. She wanted to take another look at Liu Guifen, to learn more about her, since she was a million times unwilling to lose to such a woman.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yuesheng stopped her, not allowing her to enter at all, "There’s nothing left for us to discuss. I’ve made things clear in front of everyone, and you should understand how determined I am. Our daughter is right; save some dignity for yourself."

Jiang Meixiang sighed: "Mom, let’s go."

"Jiang Yuesheng, I’ll ask one last time. You really don’t want the county chief position?" Che Yali was still unwilling to accept it, grabbing Yuesheng’s sleeve, "I’m not saying this to make you come home on purpose. I really can make it happen. If you don’t appreciate it, then why am I even bothering?"

"I just want to live a stable life." Jiang Yuesheng looked at her with firm eyes, "Yali, I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for me, but we really are not right for each other.

Your personality is too strong. In the officialdom, I’ve indeed been successful, but when I come home and face you, I always feel suffocated.

You forbid me from interacting with any woman, and whenever there’s a slight disturbance, you make a scene. It’s true that with your father’s backing, your antics don’t have much impact, but do you know what people say about me behind my back?

You’re always complaining about how my face is gloomy at home. It’s not that I don’t want to be happy, but I really can’t feel joy. Apart from being true to myself, who else can I be honest with?

I can’t manage things with my parents, and you meddle with any woman I’ve spoken to, which I can’t stop. In the end, people treat me like a poisonous snake. How do you think that feels?

Yes, you might say now that you’ll change, that you’ll never do it again, but Yali, human endurance has its limits. I’ve hit mine, and no matter what, there’s no going back.

Thinking of those days makes me feel worse than death. Out of the sentiment of being married, I’m telling you this in the hope you’ll listen. So I’m begging you, let me go, and let yourself go. We’re not young, and for the days we have left, let’s each live well."

"Why? Why have you changed so much? Why?" Che Yali murmured, tightening her grip on his sleeve as if afraid he’d break free.

"At this age, if one still doesn’t know what they truly want, isn’t that a waste?" Jiang Yuesheng’s gaze dropped to her hand, "It’s late, you two should head back."

"As you said, there’s lots of love built in a marriage. Are you really comfortable with me and our daughter going back alone?" Che Yali, rarely showing a pitiful expression, said, "I’m old, no big deal, but our daughter is still young. If something were to happen, wouldn’t you, as her father, regret it for life?"

Jiang Meixiang’s mouth twitched; she always rode her bike home after night shifts without any issues. Her mom’s melodramatic act... Oh, women, at critical moments, they really lose all sense. Dad’s stance is clear; no matter how hard Mom tries, it’s futile.

However, whatever she says now won’t get through to Mom. Better let her go through the motions; only then will she give up completely.

Nevertheless, with the current situation, she has to consider her own future. There’s no relying on Grandpa’s side or Dad’s side, meaning she can only rely on herself.

Thinking about it, Jiang Meixiang was eager to get back home to study. Watching her mom still babbling on, she looked irritated: "Dad, even if you and Mom get divorced, I’m still your daughter, right? What’s wrong with sending us off just once?"

The door opened, and Liu Guifen handed Jiang Yuesheng the coat and flashlight: "Take it slow on the road; I’m here at home, waiting for you to come back and take Yuanyuan to my place."

"Yuanyuan will soon be sleepy; tonight, all of you can stay here and sleep..." After a pause, Jiang Yuesheng added, "The marriage certificate is out, so who dares to gossip."

"Got it." Liu Guifen replied compliantly, smiled at Che Yali and Jiang Meixiang, and then closed the door and went back inside.

Jiang Meixiang silently sighed, no wonder this woman could win Dad over so quickly. Compared to Mom, her skill level was really high.

Mom and Dad have been together for over twenty years, and Mom has never spoken so softly. Sure, she did a few times, but that was for show or deliberately to annoy Dad, which always felt uncomfortable.

On the road, the three of them walked silently. Che Yali wanted to talk but felt she had said everything already, and her husband showed no reaction. Saying more seemed useless. Thinking of Liu Guifen’s attitude, she softened her voice: "Yuesheng, I’ll make you some sugar eggs later. You used to love eating them after working late."

"No, I’m not hungry." Looking up at the big door now before them, Jiang Yuesheng stopped, "I’ll wait here until you two are inside then leave." (To be continued.
