Chapter 36 This marriage doesn't necessarily have to end in divorce.

When Zhang Xianya looked at her, Xia Yuhuan said, "Mom, in this life, no matter what you do, others will have their own opinions and views. We are not money; we cannot please everyone."

"But those people's opinions are useless to us and don't affect our lives. I think we should focus on our own feelings and not care too much about what others say. What do you think?"

As she spoke, Xia Yuhuan chided, "I used to think you were a decisive and capable career woman, Mom. How come you've become so fussy and indecisive all of a sudden?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we kept all this good stuff for ourselves? Why let those scumbags like Xia Jianyong benefit from it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianya immediately realized that the relationship between Xia Yuhuan and Xia Jianyong was not simply a matter of a bad father-daughter relationship.

There may even be a blood feud involving the murder of one's mother or the hatred of being abandoned.

Given such deep-seated hatred, Xia Yuhuan's reaction is understandable.

So Zhang Xianya nodded gently: "Okay, whatever you say goes. Mom respects your opinion."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

She hugged Zhang Xianya's arm and nuzzled against her shoulder: "Thank you, Mom. You're so good to me."

In fact, if she brought too few gifts when she returned to her parents' home, outsiders would not only say that she was not liked by her in-laws, but also that the Chi family was stingy and could not even afford to prepare a generous gift for her return visit, which was a waste of such a large family.

There will definitely be people gossiping behind their backs and laughing at them.

Zhang Xianya's agreement to her request already showed her great affection.

She was an orphan in her past life, and the original owner of this body had never received maternal love in this life. Now that Zhang Xianya is pampering her so much, she really feels like she's bubbling with happiness.

So this is what it feels like to be loved by your mother.

"Silly child." Zhang Xianya's heart softened as she was nuzzled by her.

"Now that you've married Yan Zhou and entered the Chi family, you're my child. If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?"

Zhang Xianya gently patted her hand and said, "Good child, do whatever you want. Mom won't force you. Just like you said, we should keep these good things for ourselves; they'll taste even better that way."

Xia Yuhuan felt her heart melted by Zhang Xianya's warmth.

As the matriarch of the Chi family, Zhang Xianya has seen all sorts of good things. She's not short of these little things.

This is clearly saying what she wants to hear.

How can there be such a good mother-in-law in this world?

They treated her well, indulged her, and spoiled her like a little girl.

Xia Yuhuan's headache started again.

Her mother-in-law is so good, she can't bear to leave her. Once Chi Yanzhou wakes up, she will divorce him and then she will have no mother.

What should we do?

Or, to be selfish, could she let Chi Yanzhou wake up later?

But this isn't good either.

For Zhang Xianya and Chi Shaokang, Chi Yanzhou's parents who were hoping for his recovery, every day he was in a coma was an ordeal.

They were good to her, and she couldn't bear to see them suffer like that.

That very night, Xia Yuhuan inadvertently confided her dilemma to Chi Yanzhou.

"Hey, Chi Yanzhou, how come your parents are so kind? They're so kind that I don't want to leave them."

Chi Yanzhou: "..."

His parents were indeed very good, so good that she couldn't help but have thoughts of 'murdering her husband'.

Why does his little wife have so many ideas every day?

And yet, they are all thoughts that make things difficult for themselves.

Chi Yanzhou had no worries about his life or safety.

Although he remained unconscious and did not communicate with Xia Yuhuan, it was precisely because of this lack of direct contact and his observation of her from the shadows that he was able to see her most authentic self.

He was absolutely certain that Xia Yuhuan was a kind-hearted girl with excellent character.

How could such a passionate and kind girl possibly harm him for her own selfish desires?

Why is this silly girl so fixated on getting a divorce?

Couldn't she think of it in a positive light, stay with his parents, and maybe even win him over?

Just because he woke up doesn't mean there's only one option: divorce. Can't we still live a good life together?

While Chi Yanzhou was lost in thought, Xia Yuhuan muttered, "My parents are such good people, so the child they raised must be exceptional too."

"How about I wait until Chi Yanzhou wakes up and then not bring up divorce with him, and try dating him first?"

"What if I find him agreeable, and he doesn't dislike me either? Could we just make do?"

Chi Yanzhou: "!!!"

Although Xia Yuhuan said it was just making do, he still felt a secret joy welling up from the depths of his heart.

Even if she had the idea of ​​staying, not for his sake, he would still be happy.

He believed that as long as she was willing to give it a try, he would definitely find a way to win her heart.

Her willingness to stay was the beginning of everything.

No, it should all have started when he woke up first.

As Chi Yanzhou thought about it, his desire to awaken grew stronger and stronger.

The two were each thinking their own thing, but their paths strangely overlapped to some extent.

While things were going well for them, the Xia family was plunged into a state of unease.

The family of three sat on the sofa in the living room, an atmosphere of silence spreading, almost engulfing them.

"Dad, nothing happened when you went to work today. Does that mean the Chi family won't hold it against us?" Xia Zhuyu asked softly.

"You wish! After what happened, how could the Chi family not hold us accountable?"

"Chi Zhenghao suddenly received a mission and went out early this morning. He left in a hurry and probably didn't have time to tell his parents about it."

After all, the incident happened at night and it was late. Once Chi Zhenghao had dealt with it, he probably wouldn't have deliberately woken up his parents to talk about it.

He went off on a mission this morning, so he probably didn't have time to talk to his parents about it.

In that sense, it seems even God was on his side, helping him out.

During the time that Chi Jung-ho was away on his mission, he had enough time to figure out how to resolve the matter.

However, the Chi family is a large and powerful family, and it would probably cost a lot to get them to drop the matter.

Xia Jianyong got angry just thinking about this, and couldn't help but glare fiercely at Xia Zhuyu.

"If you ask me, you're just too useless. I took him down, and you still couldn't handle him. Tell me, what good are you besides eating, drinking, and shopping!"

Xia Jianyong's disdain was almost overflowing.

Xia Zhuyu also felt very wronged.

With a sob in her voice, she said, "I don't know what happened. Chi Zhenghao was lying unconscious on the bed. I was even taking off his clothes when I suddenly felt a pain in my neck and then I passed out. Then you woke me up."

Xia Jianyong gritted his teeth and said, "Chi Zhenghao was definitely faking being unconscious. After discovering your purpose, he took the opportunity to knock you out."

Xia Jianyong felt extremely unlucky that his carefully planned scheme had failed and he had gotten himself into trouble.

“But I don’t think he knocked me out. He clearly didn’t make a single move,” Xia Zhuyu said, frowning.

"You mean there's a third person here?" Xia Jianyong frowned and asked.
