Jin Family.
Mother Jin, who had just finished reading the newspaper, suddenly burst into laughter, drawing the attention of everyone at the table.
Father Jin asked sternly, "What are you laughing about so early in the morning?"
"Itâs great news," Mother Jin replied cheerfully, her mood noticeably lifted, "This news is enough to keep me smiling for quite a while! Itâs so satisfying!"
"Mom, what news has made you so happy?" Yao Ruoshui asked. Her relationship with Mother Jin had been good ever since she entered the Jin Family. They never conflicted, which brought a temporary peace to the Jin Family.
Father Jin thought silently and let out a sigh. If the girl who had married into the family years ago had been Fang Eleven, the girl he disliked, they would probably have argued every day.
However, now that the house was too calm, he felt somewhat uneasy.
There were no disagreements at home, largely because his son wasnât attached to the women in the house, so naturally, there were no conflicts.
He wasnât sure if that was a good thing.
"Come, come, all of you take a look!" Mother Jin placed the newspaper on the table for everyone to see, "Did that Fang girl finally get her comeuppance? Just look at how arrogant she was a few days ago! I knew she was going to fall when the news came out yesterday! What did I say? The last laugh is the best laugh! She was long kicked out of the Gu Family, but she was still putting on airs when she ran into us last time!"
The smile on Yao Ruoshuiâs face gradually froze.
Fang Eleven.
She couldnât muster a laugh whenever she heard those three words.
Jin Xiangbei paused in the middle of eating his breakfast, so did Xiangnan, both turning their attention to the newspaper on the table.
This morningâs headline was urgently replaced, the front page bearing a half-body photo of Gu Liancheng with a shadowy figure at his side, and a huge question mark on his body, representing Mrs. Gu.
It was about Mrs. Gu posting the divorce certificate last night to prove Gu Lianchengâs innocence.
Jin Xiangnan glanced at it.
Hearing about this last night on Weibo, he hadnât said anything to his younger brother. From his brotherâs expression now, he knew that he had just found out too.
Jin Xiangnan casually said while eating: "Mom, didnât you see that it was Eleven who announced the divorce? Itâs not like ancient times where only men could divorce their wives. Why are you sure it wasnât Eleven who proposed the divorce, or that they mutually agreed to divorce? Itâs the modern ageâwomen donât just get chased out of the house by their husbands."
Father Jin, not wanting to stir up any trouble, pointed to a piece of text and said: "Xiangnan is not wrong. Look here, it says they divorced amicably. Itâs early morning, letâs drop it."
"Amicable divorce? You guys believe these kinds of lies? Fang Eleven managed to latch onto Gu Liancheng, a tycoon, she would have been overjoyed even in her sleep, how could she leave voluntarily? If Gu Liancheng hadnât dumped her, why would she leave? Sheâs defending him now, sheâs just trying to keep up the good impression in his eyes, hoping she could have a chance to go back!"
With a "snap", Jin Xiangbei slapped his chopsticks onto the table, startling Mother Jin.
"Mom, besides not coming from a distinguished background, Eleven never did anything wrong. Why do you always see her in the worst light? Why canât you try to understand her? Because of you, I lost the woman I loved the most in my life. I canât even argue with you because youâre my mother! I canât even tell you when youâre wrong!"
Mother Jin was taken aback, "Little North! What do you mean by that? How can you say such a thing in front of Ruoshui at this time?"
