When Mr. Chu heard the harsh words, his brows furrowed.
"Don't talk nonsense! What mistress? I heard Fei Ran say that my mother-in-law was pregnant with her before Qin Feng got married. They haven't seen each other for so many years, and she didn't interfere in other people's marriages!"
Jiang Man sneered, "Let's put aside whether this is true or not. Even if it is true, how would anyone outside know so much? Who cares who came first? The facts are out there. Lin Rong did have a child with a married man, and Lin Feiran is Qin Feng's illegitimate daughter!"
Old Master Chu was so angry that he stood up suddenly: "Shut up! Is it your turn to say this? What does this have to do with you?"
Jiang Man finally got to the point and said aggressively, "Of course it's related. She is Chu Yu's wife and my daughter-in-law! Having such an illegitimate daughter-in-law is my greatest shame and a shame to the Chu family!"
She continued in one breath, "With Chu Yu's status and position, he could marry any daughter of a noble family, so how could he marry such a lowly ordinary woman? Back then, when you said she saved your life and insisted that Chu Yu marry her, I let it go. Later, I learned that she had given birth to a child for Chu Yu and had made great contributions to the Chu family. So even though she repeatedly targeted Xinyue, I still tolerated her. But at the very least, the daughter-in-law of our Chu family should have a clean background! She should come from a respectable family, not some illegitimate daughter!"
Mr. Chu was furious and stared at Jiang Man, unable to speak for a moment: "You..."
At this moment, an angry shout suddenly rang out in the living room.
"Who are you calling the illegitimate daughter?"
The living room door slammed open and Chu Yu strode in, his eyes burning with anger.
He walked towards Jiang Man, with a violent aura surging around him.
"Feiran is my chosen wife, and also my grandfather's chosen granddaughter-in-law. It's not your turn to say anything bad about her! There's nothing wrong with her background, so keep your mouth shut!"
"you!……"
Jiang Man had never seen Chu Yu so furious with her before. Although their relationship wasn't good, it was at most a cold and indifferent one, ignoring each other. Only occasionally, when it came to Lin Feiran's affairs, would Chu Yu confront her head-on.
Chu Yu's terrifying look at this moment made Jiang Man shrink subconsciously, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared.
But she immediately gritted her teeth and straightened her back.
Xinyue's lifelong happiness depends on her. This step is crucial and she must not back down!
No matter what, she is Chu Yu's mother after all, why should she be afraid of him?
Jiang Man was furious and almost screamed: "How dare you talk to me like that!"
She turned to Chu Jindong and yelled hysterically: "Listen! What did your good son say! He told me to keep my mouth clean! Is this what a son says to his mother?!"
Chu Jindong was stunned by the farce before him.
This... Lin Feiran's identity as an illegitimate daughter is not nice, but I have never seen Jiang Man care so much about the identity of Chu Yu's wife before.
In fact, Jiang Man didn't even care who Chu Yu's wife was.
Back then, when Old Master Chu said he wanted to arrange a marriage for Chu Yu and Lin Feiran, he called to inform them. Jiang Man didn't ask about Lin Feiran's details at all. She just listened to a few words and said okay, leaving it to Old Master Chu to arrange, and she didn't care about it anymore.
Why did things suddenly become like this just because of Lin Feiran’s illegitimate daughter?
Chu Jindong was still standing there in a daze and confusion. Jiang Man glared at him fiercely, and then he reacted.
Although he didn't know why, he would definitely stand on Jiang Man's side unconditionally.
Chu Jindong stammered, "Ah... this... Chu Yu, how can you speak to your mother like that? You have no respect at all! After all, she is still your mother!"
Chu Yu sneered, "My mother? From childhood to adulthood, has she ever fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother? Has she ever taken care of me for even a single day? She ignored me for so many years while I was abroad, and now she suddenly appears and orders my wife what to do. What gives her the right? Does she have the qualifications?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Jiang Man's eyes, but she immediately concealed it.
She now felt a little regretful. She was indeed too indifferent and neglectful to Chu Yu in the past, which resulted in Chu Yu having almost no mother-son affection for her. She had no say in front of Chu Yu, and it was not appropriate for her to use her identity as a mother to pressure him.
But she had to act justified now.
"I didn't interfere too much in your affairs before because you were capable and well-rounded, and I didn't need to worry about you. But now that you've married a wife like this, I can't just ignore her! Not only is she narrow-minded and jealous, but she's also vicious and of such a low status. It's all spread out now. From now on, when you go out, people will point fingers at you and say you married the illegitimate daughter of a mistress! Do you still want your reputation? Does the Chu family still want its reputation?"
Chu Yu looked at her coldly.
"So? What do you want?"
Jiang Man said firmly, "Of course, I want you to divorce Lin Feiran! The child she gave birth to will stay in the Chu family, and as for her, just give her a large sum of property as compensation!"
It is definitely impossible to drive Lin Feiran and her child out of the Chu family now. Chu Yu and Old Man Chu are reluctant to do so, so they can only go to keep the mother and child first.
I'll find a way to get rid of this child later. I can't let Xinyue come here to be someone else's stepmother. Her daughter can't bear such a big injustice.
Chu Yu was so angry that he started laughing.
There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in that smile.
"You want me to divorce Fei Ran? What do your words mean? How much affection do we have? What makes you think I will listen to you?"
Jiang Man suddenly choked: "You..."
Chu Yu said contemptuously, "How high do you think your status is in the Chu family? Apart from you, your husband, who would obey you? ... Let alone the fact that we have freedom of marriage, no one has the right to interfere. Even if you want to interfere, it's useless. With your power in the Chu family, it's not your turn to show off here!"
Chu Yu turned to look at Old Man Chu: "Grandpa, you are the one who has the final say in the Chu family. Do you think I should divorce Fei Ran?"
Old Master Chu said solemnly, "What's the point of divorce? Putting aside the fact that Feiran isn't an illegitimate daughter, even if she were, I wouldn't mind her status. She's a good child and the granddaughter-in-law I've always recognized. There's no reason to divorce her for this reason."
Chu Yu turned to Jiang Man with a sneer.
"Okay, you heard everything Grandpa said, didn't you? Is there anything else you want to say? ...Oh, it's no use saying it, we won't listen."
