Chapter 124 Just right
With her husband rarely home, the conflicts between Yuan Lianqing and Old Mrs. Huo, who were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, had accumulated over the years without anyone mediating them.
Yuan Lianqing usually didn't pay attention to the old lady, and because the old lady didn't like her, she disliked being around her.
In addition, the Huo family's old manor covers a vast area with many houses that are far apart from each other. Naturally, Yuan Lianqing would stay as far away as possible. Therefore, Yuan Lianqing was unaware that her mother-in-law's health had improved significantly.
Therefore, upon hearing Jiang Qin's words, Yuan Lianqing was truly enraged—
The reason Jiang Qin was able to marry Huo Sili was because of the old lady's illness. Otherwise, why would she have allowed a woman from such a background to marry her son?
The old lady had a relapse of her illness not long ago, and now she's actually talking about divorce?
What an ingrate!
Besides, how can a woman who has married into a wealthy family just get a divorce?
And judging from Jiang Qin's tone just now, it seems that she was the one who initiated the divorce?!
Thinking of this, Yuan Lianqing angrily pushed away the hand blocking her way, wishing she could rush up and slap Jiang Qin twice more.
Who is she? How dare she?!
Yuan Lianqing was so angry that her mouth almost twisted in pain, and at the same time, a feeling of pent-up anger rose higher and higher.
Yuan Lianqing couldn't help but recall her youth, when she and Huo Sili's father, Huo Chengzheng, often argued about each other's jobs.
She had considered divorce, but whenever the thought crossed her mind, she would think of something else—
Factors such as the family's interests, future wealth and honor, and the reputation of her and her family.
In the end, the thought of divorce vanished on its own.
But as Huo Chengzheng later stayed in the military compound for several years without returning home, ignoring her messages and being unable to reach her by phone, the thought of divorce resurfaced in her mind.
This went on for many years, and her mind was constantly tormented by the pain of her marriage.
In the end, however, she did not leave.
She went from being a daughter-in-law in her early twenties to a mother-in-law nearing fifty, and before she knew it, she had become a mother-in-law herself.
But now, among ordinary people like Jiang Qin, whose background is indescribably rotten.
Her daughter-in-law actually dared to bring up divorce?!
After thinking about all this in a flash, Yuan Lianqing felt extremely unhappy.
She even felt a burning sensation on her face, as if she had been humiliated.
No, what makes her so special? Is she rich? Who does she think she is? Or is she looking down on the Huo family?
Yuan Lianqing grew increasingly depressed as she thought about it, her face turning red with resentment and complicated emotions.
The resentment that had been building up inside him for nearly thirty years was about to burst forth like a cannonball.
At the other end of the booth, a cool and beautiful young woman responded to her words in a detached manner from a distance.
"Yes, I said I want to divorce your son."
When her words were confirmed and it wasn't a hallucination, Yuan Lianqing patted her chest, but couldn't speak for a long time.
I just felt that the person on the other end must be crazy.
But before he could say anything more, two police officers who were following behind him came forward.
"Hello, Mr. Huo, could you please let us finish this matter first?"
Huo Sili stopped, and the police officer looked at Yuan Lianqing again, "Auntie, please come in and apologize to the other party."
Upon seeing the police enter, the proprietress, who had been watching from behind the counter, became somewhat nervous and quickly approached. "What's going on? Officer, our shop's fire safety facilities are all strictly in accordance with regulations, and the kitchen is very clean..."
"No, no," the officer quickly clarified. "It wasn't the fire department; we received a call reporting that this woman was taking photos without my consent."
Yuan Lianqing's flushed face turned pale. She had originally called Huo Sili to help her solve her troubles.
But she ended up shooting herself in the foot. Her son not only didn't help, but instead told her to handle it however she wanted.
Yuan Lianqing had nowhere to vent her anger, so she had to hold it in and followed the police to Song Xinye.
Is all you want is for her to apologize to a young man?
In all her life, she can count the number of times she has said "I'm sorry" and "I apologize" on one hand!
Yuan Lianqing couldn't bring herself to apologize, nor did she feel that she had done anything wrong.
Seeing that Yuan Lianqing was not cooperating, the police officers were somewhat helpless, but they still upheld the law and tried to persuade her with kind words.
“Auntie, since you did take his picture without his permission, you should apologize to him. Even a three-year-old knows the principle of admitting your mistakes and correcting them. You must know that, right? So please correct your attitude and apologize to this gentleman.”
Yuan Lianqing opened her mouth, then closed it again.
In the booth, Song Xinye's gaze swept over Yuan Lianqing, then landed on Huo Sili behind Yuan Lianqing, before looking at Jiang Qin.
"Is he your current husband, Qinqin?"
Huo Sili followed closely behind Yuan Lianqing and the two police officers.
Because of his striking height, and because Jiang Qin was sitting directly in front of him, she didn't need to exert much effort to see Huo Sili.
Jiang Qin glanced up and looked back at Song Xinye, "Mm."
Just then, a police officer nearby glanced at Yuan Lianqing, who remained silent and had not yet apologized, and then turned his gaze towards her with some helplessness.
Looking at Song Xinye, she said, "Um, sir, I've already deleted the photos that lady took of you without my permission. Do you think we should just..."
"It'll be over after you apologize," Song Xinye said with a smile.
The young police officer was suddenly confronted with such a tough-looking face, and for a moment he didn't dare to say anything. He nodded and looked back.
Yuan Lianqing's face turned red and white with embarrassment. With so many eyes watching, she finally apologized.
"Okay, then let's leave it at that. I hope this auntie will learn her lesson and stop taking pictures of people without permission."
Yuan Lianqing opened her mouth as if to say something, but suddenly heard footsteps. She turned her head and saw Huo Sili walking out.
Yuan Lianqing didn't dare to speak anymore, "Okay, I understand!"
He took off after her, calling out, "Siri, wait for me!"
But Horstley clearly didn't wait; the black Cullinan sped away, its speed kicking up fallen leaves from the roadside.
Jiang Qin caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, picked up the freshly squeezed juice on the table, took a sip, and gently put it down.
She never imagined that the divorce would be brought up in public, but since it has, it's just as well.
After all, this marriage was initially arranged. Even ordinary couples who fall in love freely can break up. Her relationship with him was based on fate, so it was only natural that they broke up.
Moreover, instead of worrying about these things anymore, why not... Jiang Qin's phone suddenly vibrated.
Upon opening the app, she discovered that it was a foreign security company she had contacted before, sending her bodyguard candidates who met her requirements.
Jiang Qin's eyes lit up, and she began to look at it seriously.
Yes, instead of dwelling on the past and being distressed and resentful, it's better to pick yourself up and embrace a new life!
