“My dear child, what nonsense are you spewing? You’re my granddaughter-in-law. If I don’t love you, who will?” When Grandmother Ji said this, she looked meaningfully at Old Madam Ji and the silent Tang Yingxue.
This made Old Madam Ji, who was already unhappy, even more unhappy.
“Only Du Jiuyuan should remain with me. The rest of you can leave!” Grandmother Ji immediately started shooing people away.
“Mom, Yingxue is the same...” Old Madam Ji was afraid that Du Jiuyuan would complain, and she was also trying to defend Tang Yingxue.
Grandmother Ji was rarely seen without a kind gaze in her eyes.
However, as soon as Old Madam Ji opened her mouth, Grandmother Ji slowly raised her eyes and stared daggers at her.
“What else do you want?” Grandmother Ji interrupted.
Old Madam Ji did not dare to say anything when she saw Grandmother Ji’s piercing gaze. She led Tang Yingxue out of the room without saying another word.
“You, leave the room too.” Grandmother Ji said to Ji Jingchen.
Ji Jingchen glanced at Du Jiuyuan and turned to leave.
Only Grandmother Ji and Du Jiuyuan remained in the room. “Did you quarrel with him?” Grandmother Ji’s tone suddenly became serious.
She did not see Du Jiuyuan as her granddaughter-in-law but as her biological granddaughter.
Du Jiuyuan paused and said truthfully, “Grandmother, I want to divorce him.”
Grandmother Ji was stunned, wondering if she had heard wrongly.
She thought that Du Jiuyuan and Ji Jingchen merely had a conflict. She did not expect it to have escalated to the level of getting a divorce.
Du Jiuyuan said in a very firm tone, “Grandmother, Ji Jingchen doesn’t love me. Both of us are only suffering when we are together. So, Grandmother, please agree to the divorce between the two of us.”
The old lady did not agree with her. Instead, she held Du Jiuyuan’s hand again. “Why would you want a divorce if you said you’re fine? Did that b*stard Ji Jingchen bully you? Tell me, I’ll help you teach him a lesson.”
“Grandmother, he didn’t bully me. He just doesn’t love me. He never has. I really can’t hold on any longer.” Du Jiuyuan shook her head gently and said calmly.
“Ji Jingchen, get your ass in here!” The old lady shouted.
Ji Jingchen was at the door. He gently pushed the door open and closed it after entering. Before he could walk in front of the two of them, he was already scolded.
“Kneel down!” The old lady said angrily.
Ji Jingchen obediently knelt on the spot and did not take another step.
Du Jiuyuan did not expect her grandmother to be so angry. She wanted to get up but was pressed back down by her grandmother.
“Sit down.” The old lady treated Du Jiuyuan much better than she did Ji Jingchen.
The old lady turned her head and glared at Ji Jingchen. “Let me ask you, did you bully my granddaughter?” Grandmother Ji had always been a reasonable person.
When she took in Du Jiuyuan, she truly treated her as a biological granddaughter. Previously, because Du Jiuyuan had taken a liking to Ji Jingchen, she had thought that they could get closer, so she had used a special strategy to unite both of them.
“Let me ask you once again, did you bully Yuanyuan?” The old lady’s tone was completely different from before. It sounded like she was really angry.
Ji Jingchen glanced at Du Jiuyuan and replied, “No.”
“Nonsense! If you didn’t bully her, why would she want to divorce you?” The old lady stood up and hit Ji Jingchen with her walking stick, showing no mercy.
This hit was very solid. Ji Jingchen frowned and forcefully endured it. “I won’t agree to divorce her.” Ji Jingchen’s tone remained very calm.
“Go to the ancestral hall and kneel there. Reflect on yourself!” The old lady noticed Ji Jingchen’s good attitude but still kicked him out of the room once again.
But this time it was different. He was kicked out and punished to kneel at the ancestral hall. Ji Jingchen stood up. “Okay, Grandma.” He replied and left.
“Yuanyuan, I know that Jingchen is a child who is ambitious and won’t understand people, but you are married after all. There are bound to be some setbacks along the way, and it will remain for the rest of your life.” After Ji Jingchen left, the old lady returned to the sofa and sat down. She held onto Du Jiuyuan’s hand and spoke in a serious tone.
“Grandma...” Du Jiuyuan was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old lady.
“Ji Jingchen, that rascal, had brought me back this time for your wedding. Grandma knows that his stepmother does not treat you well and that Tang Yingxue has always been coveting that rascal, so I’ve thought it through...”
The old lady paused and took a deep breath. “After this makeup wedding, I’ll get the two of them to move out. I’ll also make Ji Jingchen spend more time with you.”
Du Jiuyuan didn’t say anything. She understood that her grandmother did not want her to divorce Ji Jingchen.
“I know that you’ve suffered a lot. I won’t leave this time.. If Jing Chen treats you badly in the future, just tell me directly and I’ll help you vent your anger.”
