Chapter 598 I Can't Bear It Anymore

Xia Youxin's eyes were icy cold, and her face was expressionless, almost as if her disappointment and despair for this family were written all over her face.

“I used to listen to you respectfully, but I don’t want to be a submissive wife from the old society. For the past two years, I have been very obedient. I dare not go west if you tell me to go east, and I do whatever you tell me to do. But what have I gotten in return? Not only your cold words and ridicule. If you had been even a little bit polite to me, I wouldn’t be talking to you like this now.”

Her tone was calm, but every word she uttered sounded grating to Madam Qi's ears.

Madam Qi's anger flared immediately. "Do you know who you're talking to? No matter what, I'm your mother-in-law, your elder. You're supposed to be a lady from a respectable family, is this how you talk to your elders? This is outrageous! Where's your family's upbringing? Is this how you're raised? But then again, how could a daughter of a wealthy family do something so despicable? If it weren't for your schemes against my son, who knows who my daughter-in-law would be now!"

Okay, they're all better than you!

Xia Youxin remained expressionless in the face of Madam Qi's cold words, which only strengthened her resolve to get a divorce.

Although she wasn't exactly favored in the Xia family, she shouldn't be described like this.

At least the servants treated her with utmost respect, and her grandmother still doted on her.

Her parents naturally did many terrible things to her, but they wouldn't say too many hurtful things to her.

She had had enough of this grievance and didn't want to endure it for another second.

"Since everyone is better than me, then your son can rest assured and go find someone else. I won't listen to your nonsense anymore. I originally respected you as an elder, but respect is always mutual. There's no such thing as one-sided tolerance. If it weren't for my good upbringing, if it weren't for the good relationship between our grandmothers, and if it weren't for my feelings for Qi Xuan, how could I possibly tolerate your insults here?"

Madam Qi still hasn't understood what Xia Youxin is trying to express, nor has she figured out what she wants to say.

The thought of divorce.

"So you're planning a rebellion now?"

"Yes, I'm going to rebel! I'm going to divorce Qi Xuan!"

Madam Qi thought she had misheard, and her arrogant demeanor instantly vanished.

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"

Xia Youxin repeated what she had just said, "I said I want to divorce Qi Xuan, but he refuses. Doesn't he listen to you? Can you help me persuade him? I'm determined to get a divorce!"

Divorce was something Mrs. Qi had never considered, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

"What did you say? You said you want a divorce? What do you take the Qi family for? A place you can come and go as you please?"

Xia Youxin stood up from the sofa, looking at Madam Qi with icy eyes. "I just want to be a dutiful daughter-in-law. Haven't you always wanted me to get out of this house? Aren't I doing what you wanted? If you divorce me, Qi Xuan can find someone better than me in the future. I wish him happiness."
