"Alright, alright, if you want a divorce, you don't need to resort to such underhanded tactics to disgust me. Just sign the papers."
Gu Xingze finally broke down in tears, large tears streaming down his face and blurring his vision.
Palely defending herself, she said, "Jinjin, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I didn't want a divorce. I didn't, I really didn't."
Jiang Heng was stunned. Gu Xingze was actually crying?
"...Sister-in-law, you have some impressive skills."
Su Jin frowned. "Didn't you tell them I was getting a divorce and that's why they came looking for trouble? Ouch... Brother, that hurts a little."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Yunhuai applied the medicine a little too heavily to Su Jin's face.
He lowered his eyes and apologized, "I'm sorry, Xiao Jin, I'll be gentler."
Gu Xingze clearly heard a man's voice, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.
"What happened to you? Are you hurt? Where are you? Who's next to you?"
Su Jin said irritably, "My brother, isn't it all your fault?"
Fearing that the family would cause trouble for Lin Shi, Su Jin had no choice but to stay at Xie Yunhuai's house for the night.
Gu Xingze lowered his head, at a loss for words. "Jinjin, I haven't understood what you were saying since just now. Your parents did call me, but I didn't let them come looking for you. I only told them you brought up divorce and asked if something had happened at home..."
Su Jin was furious. "Isn't this enough? Don't tell me you don't know what kind of people my parents are?"
"You never told me what kind of people they are."
Gu Xingze quickly recalled his time with Su Jin's parents. The elderly couple always had a smile on their faces, so he assumed that Su Jin had a good relationship with her family.
Su Jin rarely mentioned her family situation. The only thing Gu Xingze knew was that she had a younger sister who was raised by her maternal grandmother when she was young.
Every year on Qingming Festival, he would kowtow to the old woman and burn incense to thank her for taking care of his lover and protecting the once vulnerable Su Jin.
Su Jin was speechless. "My mom slapped me as soon as she came up today, and now my face is swollen like a steamed bun. You think that's good?"
Gu Xingze's mind was buzzing, and his throat felt like it was blocked with cotton, so he couldn't say a word. Only now did he realize how wrong he had been.
He never truly understood Su Jin's life.
This is probably why she wants a divorce; no one wants an unsympathetic husband.
