Upon mentioning the military leadership, Wang Guixiang's arrogance immediately diminished. She understood that the military placed great importance on conduct; if this escalated, not only would Lu Jianjun lose face, but she herself would also suffer the consequences.
She shot me a fierce glare and pulled the still-sobbing Bai Ling along. "Let's go! I'm not going to argue with a madwoman like you! Ling Zi, stop crying; I'll stand up for you!"
Watching their disheveled retreat, I let out a long sigh of relief, feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
What a relief! After years of pent-up frustration in my previous life, I could finally let it all out at once!
Of course, I knew this was just the beginning. Wang Guixiang and Bai Ling would not let this go easily; they would definitely report me to Lu Jianjun.
Sure enough, when Lu Jianjun returned from the training ground at noon, his face was dark enough to drip water. As soon as he entered, he slammed his military cap onto the table and shouted at me, "Su Qinyu! You've really grown bold! You made my mom and Ling Zi cry first thing in the morning! Can't you tolerate them at all?!"
Seeing him in such a righteous fury, the last shred of sentiment I had for the past evaporated.
"Lu Jianjun, get this straight," I met his gaze without fear. "Your mom barged into my home and started pointing fingers at me; your 'good sister' has been scheming behind my back and trying to smear my name! I'm just protecting my own home—what's wrong with that?"
"What smear? Ling Zi is so innocent and kind; how could she have any bad intentions? You're just petty and can't stand to see me getting along with her!" Lu Jianjun refused to believe me or perhaps subconsciously didn't want to.
"Innocent and kind?" I scoffed. "Ask her what she put in my porridge! And ask her why she deliberately put on a show in front of you yesterday! Lu Jianjun, open your eyes and see clearly; don’t be fooled by appearances!"
"You’re talking nonsense!" Lu Jianjun shouted angrily. "I think you're just making trouble! Su Qinyu, I married you so you could live well, not to have you suspicious all the time and causing conflicts with my family! If you keep this up, we will—"
"We will what? Get a divorce?" I interrupted him directly, looking at him calmly.
Lu Jianjun was taken aback. He hadn’t expected me to bring up divorce so straightforwardly. To him, I had sacrificed so much to marry him; how could I possibly want to leave?
His tone softened slightly, laced with a hint of unease. "Qin Yu, that's not what I meant... We just got married; don’t keep bringing up divorce..."
"Then what do you mean?" I pressed on. "Do you want me to continue enduring your mother's torment, tolerate your 'good sister's' schemes, and accept your 'brotherly affection' for other women? Lu Jianjun, let me tell you—it’s impossible!"
I paused for a moment, observing his complex expression before deciding to deliver a final blow.
"By the way, your mom said she wants you to divorce this 'unfilial lazy woman.'" I mimicked Wang Guixiang's tone with a touch of sarcasm. "I’m curious to see if you, the dutiful son, will listen to your mother or consider our marital bond—or perhaps... think about my father's connections at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Mentioning my father caused Lu Jianjun's expression to change completely. The reason he rushed to marry me was not only because of my "city girl" status but also largely due to my father's influence at the cooperative. In the 1980s, being the director of a supply and marketing cooperative was a position of real power that could secure many scarce resources. His family had benefited from it significantly.
