“Uncle Jiang, your cousin is really annoying. She always interferes between me and Pengyue, making it seem like she is my girlfriend. Outsiders will misunderstand.”

"She shouldn't stay at the Jiang family's house any longer; it's time for her to go back to her own home."

"I wouldn't mind inviting her to my wedding banquet."

Zhou Xiangqun made his feelings clear.

We got our marriage certificate.

He had no scruples.

Everything that should be said, and everything that shouldn't be said, should be said clearly and plainly.

Anyway, fate has already been turned around.

He no longer needs to pretend; he can finally let loose and be his true self.

"you--"

"Zhou Xiangqun, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you even know who she is?"

Jiang She was the first to jump out.

He pretended to grab Zhou Xiangqun by the collar and raised his fist as if to hit him.

But before he could make a move, Jiang Pengyue hugged him around the waist.

"Second brother, second brother, don't be impulsive. He's the son-in-law of the Jiang family, your future brother-in-law. We're all family, there's no need to quarrel over such a small thing," Jiang Pengyue advised.

Jiang She was furious.

Zhou Xiangqun seemed distracted the whole way, not even glancing at Pengyue once, which was really infuriating.

If his sister hadn't stopped him, he would have announced it to the world right now and given Zhou Xiangqun a good beating.

Zhou Xiangqun was stunned.

He asked, "Who is she? Is she more important than my daughter, Pengyue? She's just a cousin, as you've all said before—"

"she--"

Before Jiang She could speak, Jiang Pengyue said, "I am Jiang Xiaoyu, the adopted daughter of the Jiang family."

She has a nickname, Xiaoyu.

Clang.

Zhou Xiangqun's pupils contracted, and his heart trembled.

She... she was the wife of his dreams!

Jiang Xiaoyu.

Yes, yes, it's her.

He took two steps back, his eyes filled with disgust and resistance.

“Stay away from me. From now on, you’re not allowed to appear anywhere that’s where the moon is being celebrated. We’re incompatible according to the Chinese zodiac. I feel nauseous and want to vomit whenever I see you,” he said.

"Zhou Xiangqun!"

Even Jiang Mingda couldn't hold back anymore.

He strode forward, grabbed Zhou Xiangqun's arm, and said loudly, "Let me tell you, Xiaoyu is my daughter, the most important member of my Jiang family. If you continue to treat her like this, don't blame me for being impolite."

You're welcome?

Zhou Xiangqun sneered.

He's not afraid at all.

Everything in the dream changed.

He didn't marry Jiang Xiaoyu, didn't consummate the marriage, and didn't consummate the relationship. Even if the Jiang family disliked him, he could simply take Pengyue back to Beijing.

We will never see each other again.

Anyway, the Jiang family treated Pengyue quite badly.

If it weren't for his emphasis, the Jiang family probably wouldn't have provided a single penny of dowry.

Jiang Jiuhe embezzled 300,000 yuan, but by using the Zhou family's power, he could naturally get every penny back into his pocket. This money had to be put into practice and eventually transferred to his account.

Everyone looks out for themselves; otherwise, they'll be condemned by heaven and earth.

“Uncle Jiang, I must say something fair. Since you treat your adopted daughter better than your own, then let Pengyue sever ties with the Jiang family,” Zhou Xiangqun said.

Sever ties?

One sentence shocked the entire audience.

Even Xu Manzhi was quite surprised.

She hadn't expected Zhou Xiangqun to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve. This ruthless and spirited demeanor was completely different from his usual submissive and kind nature.

Even their aura has changed.

"You mean her?" Jiang Mingda pointed at Xu Manzhi and laughed heartily.

His eyes flashed with madness.

"Of course, I'm talking about my wife, Jiang Pengyue," Zhou Xiangqun said confidently.

"good."

Just as Zhou Xiangqun was preparing a long speech, Jiang Mingda's single, casual word shocked him deeply.

"You...you agreed?"

Zhou Xiangqun looked incredulous.

In his dream, his wife, Jiang Xiaoyu, repeatedly caused trouble, always for the sake of the Jiang family, bringing him endless worries and unpredictable crises.

Once ties with the Jiang family are severed...

He gets excited just thinking about it.

“If she wants to leave the Jiang family, she is not worthy of bearing the Jiang family name!” Jiang Hejun suddenly spoke up.

Yes, yes.

Jiang She readily agreed.

Jiang Pengyue, however, found it difficult to express her feelings, which was quite complicated.

She had already arranged for Xu Manzhi to have her own separate household registration book.

He's no longer surnamed Jiang.

Pfft.

Xu Manzhi couldn't help but laugh.

A bunch of little bastards.

Little crawler.

It's utterly ridiculous.

Is the Jiang family name very prestigious? Very remarkable?

Does she care?

"Um, my surname isn't Jiang, it's Xu, and my name is—"

"Alright, stop making a scene. Let's talk about this at home. Even if we sever ties, it's not something that can be done overnight. You're just standing up for her. Don't worry, she's a daughter of the Jiang family too. Do you think I would mistreat her?"

Jiang Mingda was afraid that Xu Manzhi would talk nonsense.

nonsense.

Jiuhe hasn't appeared yet, so he needs Yan Lin, his son-in-law, to help him out.

Even if we were to sever ties, now wouldn't be the time.

“Yes, yes, let’s go back first. We have guests waiting at home, so it’s only right that we tidy up properly,” Jiang Pengyue said, going along with the suggestion.

"Xiang Qun, stop making a scene. You've already registered your marriage. Don't let things get too tense with your in-laws," Zhou Yun advised.

The marriage was initiated by my second brother.

How can you sever ties with the Jiang family so soon after getting your marriage certificate?

There's no such saying yet.

Zhou Xiangqun had no choice but to suppress his anger and nod in agreement.

“Pengyue, get in my car, I’ll take you home,” he called to Xu Manzhi.

Xu Manzhi gave Jiang Mingda a brief, indifferent glance.

She waved her hand and said, "I want to be alone. You can take care of the guests for me."
