These brainless remarks are one thing, but when someone asked her for her opinion on Qin Huaijun's ex-wife, Lu Xueer, it was even worse.
She said, "What's the use of a good family background if you still get divorced? A divorced woman is like second-hand goods; she can't find a good family to marry into again."
A new bride asked curiously, "Did your husband really divorce his ex-wife because of fighting?"
What she really wanted to ask was whether Qin Huaijun had hit her first, and Lu Xueer couldn't take it anymore, which is why she filed for divorce.
Fang Yao said with a smile, "You can tell by looking at my mother-in-law. What family would dare to marry a woman who hits her husband and her mother-in-law? Besides, it wasn't her who initiated the divorce; it was my husband Huaijun who brought it up."
It was Qin Huaijun who dumped Lu Xue'er, not Lu Xue'er who dumped Qin Huaijun.
"Oh, I see." The person didn't know whether they believed it or not.
"Hitting someone is definitely unacceptable, and I heard that your Qin Huaijun started it. So it seems that Lu Xueer's decision to divorce was the right one." Others had different opinions.
Fang Yao snorted, "Men hit you because they want what's best for you. Just bear with it and it'll pass. It's not a big deal. Why make such a fuss?"
She wouldn't do that.
She only felt sorry for Qin Huaijun because of the pressure he was under at work.
After she finished speaking, the other young wives scattered in all directions, treating her like a monstrous flood.
"Mommy, run!"
This person is sick.
Meanwhile, in the Lu family, Lu Xue'er stayed at home after the divorce, living a leisurely life with no worries about food or drink. Apart from Li Yuan occasionally nagging her, she had no other problems.
After others in the community learned of her divorce, they asked her a lot of questions, both openly and subtly.
Lu Xue'er ignored them all, her mind preoccupied with her relationship with Tan Yan.
Old Master Lu's health was deteriorating, and he spent most of his time in bed. His bodyguards kept watch outside his door 24 hours a day, and the doctor would come every few days.
Even Li Yuan vaguely sensed something.
They hardly argue with Lu Hua anymore, and the couple stays at home quietly.
Lu Xue'er noticed that her grandfather was unwell, and she became even more anxious. Her relationship with Tan Yan was still unresolved, and her grandfather couldn't afford to have any problems.
"Grandpa, when are you going to invite Tan Yan over to our house?" Lu Xue'er asked as she entered Grandpa Lu's room once more.
His very first words upon entering revealed his selfish motives.
Aunt Xu, who was feeding Grandpa Lu his medicine, gave her a disapproving look and reminded her, "Wait until Grandpa finishes his medicine before we talk about anything else."
Lu Xue'er was very anxious. While waiting for Grandpa Lu to drink his medicine, she kept pacing around the room.
It's so annoying.
After finally finishing her medicine, she leaned closer and asked, "Grandpa, did you tell Tan Yan about me and him?"
Old Master Lu's expression was indifferent, his eyes devoid of any warmth. "He didn't say anything."
"ah?"
Lu Xue'er said anxiously, "How could you not have said so? Wouldn't you regret it if you missed out on such a good grandson-in-law?"
Aunt Xu overheard her words as she was leaving, and she pursed her lips, her eyes filled with disdain.
The Lu family is now ruined.
Only Lu Yunzhang is somewhat presentable.
Looking at his granddaughter, Grandpa Lu couldn't help but think of Lin Xiaoxiao; people really can't stand comparisons.
He coldly withdrew his gaze and said, "Don't be delusional. There's no future for you and Tan Yan. He doesn't even look at you."
Tan Yan is Wen Shiyu's nephew, so he must know about the Lu family's affairs. He will never marry Lu Xue'er and will never have any connection with the Lu family.
"Impossible." Lu Xue'er couldn't accept it. "But you clearly said before that you could help me."
Old Master Lu: "Didn't you choose the one from the Qin family?"
His voice was extremely calm, and Lu Xue'er could tell from it. She felt a great sense of panic. "Coco... but it's not too late now, isn't it? He's not married yet!"
"Please help me, Grandpa. Marrying Tan Yan would be good for the Lu family, wouldn't it?"
Lu Xue'er kept begging.
Grandpa Lu waved his hand, "Go out. I can't help you, and I don't have the ability to help you."
Lu Xue'er didn't believe it. How could her grandfather be powerless? If he just asked, would Tan Yan dare to disobey?
"Grandpa..." She didn't want to give up.
"Get out." Old Master Lu raised his voice, and the guards came in and politely ushered Lu Xue'er out.
Lu Xue'er stomped her foot and ran angrily to her parents' room to complain to Li Yuan about Grandpa Lu's heartlessness.
Upon hearing this result, Li Yuan couldn't help but scold her, "I pulled you back at the hospital and told you not to act impulsively, but you were so eager to divorce your husband and marry Tan Yan. I told you about this, but your grandfather still hadn't given his opinion. And now look what's happened?"
"Qin Huaijun got promoted in the Ministry of Education, and he's not much worse off than Tan Yan. Apart from not being able to have children, there's nothing wrong with him."
Lu Xue'er refused to admit that she regretted it, stubbornly insisting, "He can't even have children, so why should I stay with him? Besides, he likes to hit people."
"I can't be bothered to talk to you," Li Yuan said angrily, not wanting to deal with her anymore.
Qin Huaijun remarried the day after his divorce, and now he has no other choice but to try his best to win over Tan Yan.
“When your brother and Lin Wanwan got married, they were allocated a house in the military family compound. It seems they haven’t taken it back yet. Go live in the military compound for a while and try to get in touch with Tan Yan as much as possible. Have your brother make the connection for you.” Li Yuan calmly planned.
Even if she doesn't want to care about Lu Xue'er anymore, she is still her daughter.
Staying at home after a divorce is bad for one's reputation. If Lu Yunzhang were to marry later, people might find out that the Lu family has a divorced sister-in-law, which could complicate matters.
Lu Xueer readily packed her bags and went to the army that very day.
