Jiang Ruyu gets into a fight with her cousin from the next room over a job vacancy. She suffers an injury to her forehead but ...
"What are you doing here? Checking to see if your nephew has killed me? Too bad, he doesn't seem to be able to kill me."
Jiang Jianguo was so enraged by Jiang Ruyi's words that his blood rushed to his head, his face turned red, and he had difficulty breathing. He pointed at Jiang Ruyi with a trembling finger and said, "You're hopeless. You're completely insane."
Jiang Ruyi stared intently at him: "I'm hopeless, I've gone mad? Haha, you're right, I went mad when you all abandoned me. I'm clearly your child, but you never side with me, saying I'm selfish. Aren't you the truly selfish ones?"
"You made such a big mistake, and you still think it's all other people's fault? Why don't you ever reflect on your own mistakes?"
"Reflect on my actions? Why should I reflect on them? All I know is that you've wronged me. If you hadn't signed me up to go to the countryside, I wouldn't be in this state now."
"Fine, fine, since you don't think you've done anything wrong, I won't say anything more. When you had the idea of setting the house on fire, did you not consider that everyone in the house was your family? You always say we're not on your side, so let's do what you say this time and sign an agreement to sever ties."
After saying this with his fists clenched, Jiang Jianguo felt as if he had been relieved, but the pain in his heart was something no one could tell him.
Jiang Ruyi's resentful expression froze. She stared blankly at her father's cold face: "What did you say? Sever ties?"
Her voice was filled with doubt and disbelief as she saw Jiang Jianguo take out a piece of paper with writing on it.
“I didn’t originally intend to take out this paper. I thought that after being locked up for so long, you should be able to reflect on your mistakes. I was also thinking that if you really found out, I would shamelessly say a few nice words to Ruyu. Now it seems that I was wrong.”
Jiang Jianguo took out the agreement he had spent the whole night carefully writing: "Sign it. Once you sign this, you will have nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore. We won't interfere with what you want to do. You don't need to ask about your mother and me taking care of our old age. Just live your own life."
"Hahaha, how ridiculous! How could I have parents like you? How could I have the surname Jiang?"
Jiang Ruyi's hatred reached its peak at this moment: "I'll sign. Remember this, from now on we'll never see each other again. Even if you die, I won't go."
Jiang Jianguo felt a metallic taste in his throat: "Fine, let's never see each other again."
Jiang Jianguo walked out of the police station with the agreement signed by Jiang Ruyi, but he collapsed as soon as he stepped outside.
Jiang Jun and Jiang Kai only found out what Jiang Jianguo had done when the police station called the hospital to say that their father had fainted.
When Jiang Jianguo woke up, Jiang Ruyu, Zheng Yang, Jiang Hui, and Jiang Lin also arrived. Seeing her uncle's ashen face, Jiang Ruyu felt extremely conflicted.
"Uncle, why are you doing this to yourself?"
Jiang Jianguo sighed: "I don't know how to persuade her to turn over a new leaf, so this is the only way. At least I can convince myself that she is no longer a member of the Jiang family, and then I won't have so much trouble facing you."
"Uncle, I've said it before, you are you and she is she. I won't hold a grudge against you because of Jiang Ruyi." Jiang Ruyu felt bad seeing her uncle like this.
"I can't get over this. Ruyu, it's my fault for not raising her well."
Jiang Ruyi was detained for half a month, and that was only because Jiang Lin, who reported the case, came from an elite special forces unit. Even if Jiang Ruyi's father-in-law wanted to get her out, he had to consider public opinion, since he also had political enemies.
Two weeks later, Gu Wei paid an 80-yuan fine for disturbing public order and signed a settlement agreement with Jiang Lin before shamefully taking the dejected Jiang Ruyi back to the military compound.
When he got home and closed the door, Gu Wei looked at his daughter-in-law, whom he looked down on, with a cold face. He really couldn't understand what that rascal Gu Changzheng saw in this woman.
Jiang Ruyi felt a little scared when she saw her father-in-law staring at her. She had nothing left now. What would she do if he forced Gu Changzheng to divorce her?
Gu Wei tossed out an appointment letter: "Take this appointment letter and wait for Gu Changzheng to come and pick you up. Jiang Ruyi, I don't care how you won over Gu Changzheng. Let me tell you, he is my son. If he commits a crime he shouldn't have because of you, I have plenty of ways to make you suffer in silence."
Jiang Ruyi picked up the employment certificate. She had already guessed that Gu Changzheng had no intention of divorcing her. Instead, he had threatened his father to get her a job.
This idiot, doesn't he know that doing this will ruin his own future?
Jiang Ruyi raised her head and looked at her father-in-law, daring to meet his gaze for the first time: "Whether you admit it or not, I am Gu Changzheng's wife. Even if I have many faults, I have no ulterior motives towards Gu Changzheng. In your eyes, he is not as capable as my elder brother, nor as obedient and sensible as my younger sister, but have you really tried to understand him? You can only see his bad points."
Gu Wei snorted coldly: "If he were really smart, he wouldn't have stayed in the countryside because of your methods. He's in this situation because of you. You're not content with being stuck in the mud yourself, so you drag my son down with you. Do you think everyone else is a fool?"
Jiang Ruyi's face turned pale; she had nothing to say in response to her father-in-law's accusations.
Lin Hong had been holding back her anger for a long time. During this period, the people in the compound were talking about it. Her Gu family had become a laughing stock because of a daughter-in-law who was not presentable. Not only did she steal her son away, but she also ruined the reputation of her Gu family.
Lin Hong came downstairs, walked up to Jiang Ruyi, stared at her for a long time, and then suddenly slapped her twice, leaving Jiang Ruyi with a cut on the corner of her mouth.
She stared at Lin Hong and said, "I accept these two slaps because you are Gu Changzheng's mother, but if you treat me like this again, I will not tolerate it."
"You don't tolerate me. You filthy slut, you climbed up to my son and did such a shameful thing, making my Gu family a laughingstock. You deserve to die."
Jiang Ruyi laughed, a smug laugh: "I may not be presentable, but you are. As far as I know, you're not the first wife either, but I am, after all."
Lin Hong pointed at Jiang Ruyi: "Who told you this nonsense? I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"
Jiang Ruyi stopped laughing and grabbed Lin Hong's arm: "I'm carrying your Gu family's child in my belly. If anything happens to her, don't blame me for being ruthless and suing you."
Lin Hong was terrified by Jiang Ruyi's gaze. She let go of her hand in a daze and turned to look at her husband: "You still want someone like this to be the Gu family's daughter-in-law?"
Gu Wei coldly looked at Jiang Ruyi: "If you've made enough trouble, then get out. Don't ever set foot in my house again, whether you live or die."
