A private hospital room.
Zhou Chunhua stood at the door, listening to her mother-in-law inside pouring out her grievances, including crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, demanding that Liao Nanxing divorce her.
She gave a cold laugh and pushed open the door to go inside.
As a result, he happened to bump into Su Mu face to face.
She raised her hand and slapped Su Mu across the face.
Her delicate, fair face instantly swelled up to the size of a palm.
"Mumu!" Liao Nanxing pulled the person behind him.
The way they were acting was just like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Zhou Chunhua felt nauseous. She raised her hand again before lowering it and slapped Liao Nanxing across the face.
"You...you hit me? Are you crazy?"
"Am I crazy? If I really were crazy, I'd just stab you two shameless, disgusting bastards to death and let you live happily ever after!"
"In that case, let's part ways amicably." Liao Nanxing's voice was low, carrying the air of intellectual superiority.
Su Mu also had tears in his eyes, looking pitiful.
“Master’s wife, I’m sorry! I know I made a mistake. But, but when it comes to feelings, there’s never a right or wrong, is there? Besides, we truly love each other. Please, Master’s wife, grant us your blessing.”
It's ridiculous! Su Mu is clearly the third party who broke up someone else's marriage, and she's the only one who got hurt in this marriage! But Su Mu acts like she's suffered a huge injustice.
Zhou Chunhua pulled over a chair and plopped down, looking at the two people in front of her who made her feel nauseous.
Three days ago, she received a package without a sender's name on it, containing two huge insurance policies.
The insurer and the policyholder are both Liao Nanxing, but the beneficiary is Su Mu.
She immediately looked through Su Mu's WeChat Moments carefully, and sure enough, she saw Liao Nanxing's reflection on the spoon in a picture of a candlelight dinner.
Checking the date, it turned out to be their wedding anniversary.
She remembered that she cooked a table full of Liao Nanxing's favorite dishes that day and also prepared a gift for him.
As a result, Liao Nanxing, who had just returned home from get off work, was called out by a phone call before she could even change her shoes.
They even said something about school troubles!
Ironically, she reheated the dishes again and again that day, but he didn't come home all night.
Su Mu's post on WeChat Moments was like a wake-up call, making her incredibly sober.
After that, she began all the preparations.
She wanted to show Liao Nanxing that women on the battlefield are even more cunning and courageous than men! You read that right, cunning! Courageous!
She had only made full preparations three days ago.
Then I called Liao Nanxing, but couldn't get through. I received a text message saying he was in a meeting and couldn't answer the phone.
She immediately called Su Mu.
only……
Zhou Chunhua wondered when they got together.
It should be noted that Liao Nanxing is a full twenty-eight years older than Su Mu.
Su Mu called Liao Nanxing "godfather" for seven years.
Was it when Liao Nanxing helped Su Mu stay and teach at Jiangda University?
Or perhaps... when Su Mu lived up to expectations and was admitted to Jiangda University, where Liao Nanxing taught?
Even earlier?
She remembered that the two of them met ten years ago during the Western Development Program.
Liao Nanxing was sent there to support education and worked there for a year.
Upon returning, he proposed the idea of sponsoring Su Mu.
He said that Su Mu's parents died in a truck accident while driving a long-haul freight route. Then Su Mu's aunt went to the school and said that she had found a husband for her and wanted her to drop out of school and get married.
He saved Su Mu, who wanted to end her life, and helped her get rid of her family who wanted to use her to exchange for a dowry.
A year later, Liao Nanxing returned to Jiang City, and Su Mu was admitted to Jiang University, where Liao Nanxing studied, in September of the same year.
Over the years, she never imagined that their relationship would be like that.
Looking at Liao Nanxing, with his well-defined features, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, perhaps it was this overly upright and unyielding face that had deceived her into trusting him!
Then look at Su Mu, she looks so pitiful, like a little bird clinging to someone.
I remember when she was a freshman in college, she didn't even have a decent set of clothes.
Now that he's with Liao Nanxing, he's decked out in designer brands.
When Zhou Chunhua's gaze fell on Su Mu's slightly protruding belly, she was still stung.
Although Su Mu had tried her best to conceal it, as a woman, she could still see through it at a glance.
It looks like it's been four or five months.
“Su Mu, I slapped you because you were born of parents but not raised by them. I did it to teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother! I didn’t strip you naked in front of your school to embarrass you because my upbringing wouldn’t allow me to do that.”
Besides, if Liao Nanxing really didn't want to sleep with you, you two wouldn't have ended up together! I know the saying "it takes two to tango." So, it's not as simple as just one slap.
Watching Liao Nanxing's face turn from white to pale, then pale to red, then red to black, she curled her lips in disdain.
True love? Fine! She wouldn't make things difficult for the remaining years of her life, but before that, she wanted to see what true love meant in the face of daily necessities!
"Want a divorce?"
Liao Nanxing's expression remained unchanged, still ashen.
A strange light flashed in Su Mu's eyes.
Zhou Chunhua immediately understood who had sent the package.
Unfortunately... she was too stupid.
"Divorce! You must get a divorce!" The mother-in-law roared, slamming her hand on the bed. "Let me tell you, Mumu is pregnant, and it's a son! You'd better make room for my daughter-in-law and grandson right now!"
Zhou Chunhua sneered, "Then I have to thank Su Mu! Once the child is born, the bigamy charge will be confirmed. Your son will be going to jail."
"Who are you trying to fool? Do you really think I'm old and don't know anything? Even if you have an illegitimate child, the law doesn't necessarily recognize it as bigamy!"
“What a coincidence! I happen to have evidence that they’ve been living together as husband and wife for a long time.” Zhou Chunhua counted the evidence in her hand: “First, as husband and wife. Second, publicly. Third, long-term cohabitation. Finally, illegitimate child.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Liao Nanxing.
“You know I never lie. If you don’t believe me, let’s have a go. Anyway, the sentence isn’t severe, less than two years in prison or detention. However… Professor Liao’s lifelong reputation will be ruined in an instant.”
Liao Nanxing's eyes darkened: "Divorce. Name your terms."
Zhou Chunhua pressed her hand down: "That's right! Since you're asking me to move out of your place, you have to show some sincerity, right? You can have a divorce, but you have to leave with nothing. As long as you transfer everything to my name, I'll agree to a divorce immediately."
She wanted to see how Liao Nanxing would choose between wealth, fame, and love.
