232: My ex-mother-in-law is up to her old tricks again.
Yang Huirong pretended to be unhappy and said, "Fine, fine, Jiang Zhengguo, you're quite the smooth talker. Anyway, I'm the only bad guy now. I'm the bad guy, and you're the good guy, okay?"
Jiang Qianhui stepped forward and hugged Yang Huirong's arm, saying, "Mom, you're not a bad person. You're the mother who loves me the most in the world. You're just afraid that I won't have a good life. But times have changed. It's no longer the era where a woman becomes worthless after a divorce. In this era, everyone has the right to choose to love or give up. We only live once, and no one has to spoil anyone else."
Yang Huirong was deeply moved upon hearing this.
That's right, it's no longer the era when a woman was worthless after a divorce.
“Sui Sui, you’re right. Mom is too old-fashioned. Even if you get divorced, you’ll still be a radiant princess and Mom and Dad’s precious darling.”
The family embraced each other, creating a very warm atmosphere.
……
The next day, at the jewelry store.
Yang Huirong went into a jewelry store to pick out a piece of jewelry for her daughter, Jiang Qianhui. Jiang Zhengguo made her sound like a bad person, so shouldn't she try to prove herself?
Now that Sui Sui is divorced, she wants to give a gift that symbolizes a new beginning and a bright future, and the only gift that comes to mind is jewelry.
"Madam, what kind of jewelry would you like to choose?"
"I want to buy my daughter a diamond necklace."
“This diamond necklace is a new design for this season.”
"Let me see, the design is quite nice, but the diamond is too small."
Yang Huirong was continuing to search for her favorite gesture when she noticed a stack of newspapers on the counter.
The headline in the newspaper is about her daughter's divorce from Zhan Yanxun? Why are there so many newspapers on this jewelry counter? There are practically one on every counter in every section.
Just as Yang Huirong was wondering, the sales assistant introduced her to a new necklace.
"Madam, how about this one? This one has a ten-carat main diamond with a flawless (FL) clarity, and is set with 520 smaller diamonds, symbolizing love that is the center of attention."
"Let me see this one, and let me see this one too."
"You like ten-carat ones, are these also ten-carat?"
Yang Huirong was carefully selecting items and did not notice Xie Qingyi passing by the door.
"Honestly, they can't even handle this simple thing."
Xie Qingyi was scolding Yan Lan when she suddenly saw Yang Huirong in the jewelry store. She looked to be in a good mood, holding a diamond necklace and beaming with joy.
Seeing the smile on Yang Huirong's face, Xie Qingyi was furious.
Her daughter is divorced and kicked out of the Zhan family, yet instead of hiding at home crying, she's in such a good mood to come out and pick out jewelry.
Xie Qingyi immediately stormed in, her voice laced with sarcasm, and said, "Oh, what are you doing here? Buying jewelry, huh?"
Yang Huirong turned around and was surprised to see Xie Qingyi. A look of disgust immediately rose in her eyes.
She said coldly, "People come to jewelry stores to buy jewelry, not to cause trouble like some people do."
In the past, Yang Huirong had been very tolerant of Xie Qingyi for the sake of Jiang Qianhui. Now that her daughter is divorced, she no longer needs to indulge her "former mother-in-law".
Xie Qingyi had always been domineering, and Yang Huirong usually gave in to her, so she thought she was a pushover. She never expected that she would dare to speak to her in this way.
Xie Qingyi was furious, but then she suddenly said sarcastically, "When a woman is heartbroken, she should buy things to heal herself. You should buy more, otherwise you'll be too pitiful."
Yang Huirong said disdainfully, "Xie Qingyi, this is really funny. Who's sad and who's pitiful?"
Xie Qingyi raised her voice and said disdainfully, "Your daughter has been kicked out of the Zhan family and has become a divorced woman whom no one wants. How miserable."
Xie Qingyi spoke loudly, attracting the attention of those around her.
Yang Huirong was furious.
"Xie Qingyi, it was my daughter who didn't want your son. If you get old and your mind isn't clear, read more news reports. If your eyesight gets blurry and you can't see clearly, I can read them to you."
Yang Huirong picked up the newspaper from the counter and began to read it aloud.
"Zhan Yanxun cheated on his wife with another woman and got her pregnant. His aloof persona collapsed. The eldest daughter of the Jiang family decisively divorced him, truly a role model for women."
After Yang Huirong finished reading aloud, she looked at Xie Qingyi and said, "Look at the people in the whole country A now. Who said my daughter was kicked out of the Zhan family? They are all praising my daughter as a modern woman with zero tolerance for marital infidelity. There's a saying now that a man who cheats is like a toothbrush in this latrine, you can't keep him at all."
Yang Huirong deliberately spoke loudly, and the sales clerks all covered their mouths and chuckled.
Xie Qingyi said angrily, "Who are you calling a toothbrush that fell into the latrine?"
Yang Huirong disdainfully threw the newspaper in front of Xie Qingyi and said sarcastically, "Take a good look at it yourself. If you can't understand it, there are still a lot more here. Take your time to read them."
Yang Huirong grabbed a stack of newspapers and threw them at Xie Qingyi.
When have I ever suffered such humiliation?
She trembled with anger: "Yang Huirong, you don't need to be so arrogant. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you think anyone will want your daughter now that she's divorced?"
Yang Huirong said firmly, "My daughter is so outstanding that the line of people who like her stretches from here to France."
"It's Gu Xunjing's misconception that's giving you this impression. You think Gu Xunjing likes Jiang Qianhui, and you think Jiang Qianhui still has a lot of appeal, right?"
Yang Huirong said smugly, "That's just the truth! You're just jealous."
Xie Qingyi laughed wildly and said, "Do you really think Gu Xunjing is sincere? Let me tell you, you're being far too naive."
Xie Qingyi said with increasing smugness, "The Gu family and our Zhan family have been at odds for a long time. The Gu family has always been our Zhan family's mortal enemy."
You think the Gu family moved the Civil Affairs Bureau here just to get a marriage certificate with your daughter? Let me tell you, the Gu family is only doing this to deal with the Zhan family, just to annoy the Zhan family. You idiot, you think the Gu family is genuinely kind to your daughter? You're hilarious. Your daughter has already been used up by my son. Like a hen that's been used up and can't even lay a child anymore, all my son's efforts were wasted. Do you think the Gu family would want someone like your daughter? You're ridiculous!
Yan Lan chimed in sarcastically, "Mom, you're so kind. You even cleared up his doubts so he wouldn't be living in his own fantasy."
Yang Huirong was so angry that she trembled all over. Pointing at Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan, she said angrily, "Xie Qingyi, Yan Lan, your mouths are really foul and stinky."
