Father Jiang, on the other hand, was somewhat unhappy after reading the divorce agreement prepared by the Chen family: "The divorce compensation is only 1 million?"

Mrs. Jiang sneered, "Your daughter is the one at fault. She's never worked since she got married, and she has no children. She's been supported by the Chen family. Why should she get the money?"

"They're already very kind. If you ask me, not giving them a cent wouldn't be considered mean."

Lao Jiang was furious: "You...which side are you on?"

"I won't stand on the side of my illegitimate daughter," Mrs. Jiang blew on her fingernails. "Let's go now that we've agreed. I've made it clear beforehand that you can do whatever you want with her, but you're not allowed to take her back."

Lao Jiang didn't dare to get angry with his wife, so he could only wave his hand and say, "I understand. Let's go now. I've lost all my face today!"

Mrs. Jiang picked up her bag and said, "You still have some dignity? You lost all your dignity the moment you gave birth to your illegitimate daughter. If I were to say, those who are unfaithful to their marriages should all die!"

As the Jiang family's voices faded away, Father Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt your engagement party. The children themselves already have someone they love, and we're not uncivilized, so we wouldn't do anything like forcibly separating a couple."

Mr. Zhou could only sigh now: "I don't blame you. If I have to blame someone, I blame him for not being upright. That's right, if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will not be straight either."

What could he say? The Chen family was the victim. His grandson had hooked up with someone else's granddaughter-in-law, and when someone came to their door to beat them up, they could only endure it.

Chen's father and mother stood up and said, "Then we'll leave first, Uncle Zhou. Let's have tea together another day."

Mr. Zhou: "Let the housekeeper see you off. In the end, this is all our Zhou family's fault. I'm truly sorry."

Seeing the old man bow his head, Zhou Jiyun felt a little emotional. The old man was usually very strong and always had his way. He had never been seen bending over with anyone.

Now, he is apologizing to a junior because of Zhou Jiwen’s romantic scandal.

Xie Jing quietly held Zhou Jiyun's hand: "Are you worried about Grandpa?"

Zhou Jiyun took a deep breath: "He doesn't need my sympathy, and no one has ever felt sorry for me."

"I love you." Xie Jing squeezed his hand: "We are not sad."

"I have a reasonable suspicion that you are treating me like a child." Zhou Jiyun said softly again. He knew that once the Chen family left, it would be the turn of an earthquake within their Zhou family.

Sure enough, after the Chen family left, Mr. Zhou took the main seat. He looked at Zhou Jiwen, Jiang Cha, Zhou Zhida, Fang Qin, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Jiyun.

Zhou Jiyun didn't dodge or avoid: "Grandpa, what do you want to say?"

Seeing him like this, Mr. Zhou's pent-up anger suddenly vented out, and he could no longer say what he wanted to say. He knew that all this was done by Zhou Jiyun behind his back, but what should he say?

Should he accuse his eldest grandson of disregarding the family's reputation? Ultimately, if Zhou Jiwen hadn't given him a handle outside, how could he have ended up in this situation?

He stood up with the help of a cane: "I can't control you anymore, you guys can do whatever you want."

Zhou Zhida was anxious: "Dad, how can you just leave it alone? Jiwen is also your grandson. If you don't show up, the Shen family..."

"What does it have to do with me?" Old Master Zhou hit Zhou Zhida's leg with his cane. "He's your son, not mine. He's caused such a big disaster, so naturally it's you, as his father, who should step in and deal with it."

"Ruoruo pushes everything onto me, what are you doing?"

The old man glanced at Jiang Cha and said, "Xiaoer, since you and her are so deeply in love, why don't you take some time to get your marriage certificate?"

Zhou Jiwen remained silent. Even though his grandfather had relented, he wasn't happy at all. This wasn't the outcome he wanted. In his imagination, he would have the Zhou family completely under his control, and then he and Jiang Cha would live happily ever after.

But now that I have no career, what is the use of love?

Jiang Cha was happy. As long as the old man agreed, basically no one would object to Zhou Jiwen being with her.

Fang Qin was anxious: "Dad, how can this be possible? She is a married woman... and an illegitimate daughter."

Mr. Zhou said, "This is the safest solution so far. Your son has been with her for so many years, and she divorced for him. If your son doesn't marry her, will he really be branded as a mistress?"

Fang Qin: "But...she...she..."

Zhou Zhida sighed, "Let's do as Dad says. If Jiwen marries her, at least his reputation will be better and it will be seen as a sign of deep love and loyalty. If they break up, their reputation will be even worse."

Fang Qin was so angry that her vision went dark. She only had one son, Zhou Jiwen. She poured so much effort into him, hoping that he would have a bright future and bring glory to the family. But in the end, he married such a daughter-in-law for her?

How could she face going out in the future? Her husband had an illegitimate child, her son was having an affair with a married woman, her daughter-in-law had an affair, and she had an illegitimate daughter who was not presentable.

Thinking of this, Fang Qin felt that her life was hopeless and she could not see the end. How could she have such a husband and son?

The old man didn't care what Zhou Jiwen thought. He just said this and went back to his room to rest with the help of Butler Zhong.

Zhou Zhida also stood up and said, "Arrange a room for her to rest. After she gets the divorce certificate on Monday, you can handle it yourselves."

Although there is a cooling-off period for divorces, how can there be so many rules in the world of overlords? A divorce certificate can be obtained naturally if you want it.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Jiwen, Jiang Cha, Zhou Jiyun, and Xie Jing were the only ones left in the living room. Jiang Cha carefully held Zhou Jiwen's arm and said, "Does it hurt? Your mother was too rough."

How could Zhou Jiwen have the heart to comfort Jiang Cha now? He pulled out his arm and said, "You should go and rest with Aunt Yun first. My eldest brother and I have something to talk about."

Jiang Cha was baffled, but she had always relied on men to live. She couldn't refute Zhou Jiwen's words and could only leave with Aunt Yun. Besides, if she left Zhou Jiwen now, where else could she go?

Zhou Jiwen's eyes fell on Xie Jing: "Sister-in-law, do you want to listen too? That might not be convenient. I want to talk to my brother alone."

Zhou Jiyun vaguely guessed some of the conversation content: "Jingjing, go back to your room and rest first, I'll come over later."

Rebirth was an unspoken secret between him and Zhou Jiwen, and Xie Jing should not know about it.

Xie Jing didn't argue with Zhou Jiyun, but just stood up and said, "Okay, let's not chat too late."

Zhou Jiyun squeezed her hand and said, "I know."

He had not forgotten what Xie Jing had promised him in the afternoon. How could he let Zhou Jiwen delay his own work?

As soon as Xie Jing left, the front hall fell into complete silence. Zhou Jiwen stared into Zhou Jiyun's eyes: "Are you satisfied with me now, big brother?"
