Ji Xiaoli's days at home nursing her wounds were not easy for another person, who not only had to recover but also had to watch her mother-in-law's face, and those days seemed even more unbearable than being in a desperate situation.

  The two were indeed a pair of difficult brothers, going out to eat and encountering a kidnapping. If they hadn't been lucky enough to escape, they might have really ended up in trouble... However, the injuries on their feet didn't escape, and Qi Xiaoguang's foot injury wasn't much better either. There was no miraculous medicine like Xiao Ningzi's here, so she could only limp along all day, which made Old Lady Zhao even more displeased.

  "What's the meaning of this! I've told you countless times to reduce your interactions with that woman from the Qin family, even if she and Qin San are registered as married. But since Director Qin hasn't made any statements or acknowledged her, she doesn't count as a member of the Qin family! What do you mean by still associating with them? Qiao Xiaoguang, every move you make now represents the Zhao family, don't you know that?"

  "I know why you can get along with that kind of woman, because you both have the same moral character, aren't you!"

  "Zi Xiaoguang, take a look at your moral character, where do you have the qualifications to be with Wei Xing? You don't even measure up to yourself! You've been married for one or two years already, and there's no sign of children. Are you unable to give birth? Do you have some kind of illness? If you're ill, hurry up and go to the hospital... if it really doesn't work out, then just get a divorce!"

  How many times has she said that? It's probably more than ten, and even if I counted on my fingers, I wouldn't be able to keep up. She was too lazy to listen, and too lazy to care.

  "Mother-in-law? Oh no, you probably dislike this title the most. If I called you mom, would you want to vomit? Having a daughter-in-law like me is embarrassing, right? Your family has no status and no money... I know you've been looking down on me for a long time now, I've heard it all. Actually, I think so too, if you let your son divorce me, I wouldn't mind being free from this at all. At least I wouldn't have to suffer from your temper anymore. Don't you agree?"

  Qī Xiǎo Guāng's temper was originally a bit violent, but after being ground down by the Zhao family for so many years, it seemed to have become somewhat more even-tempered. However, all of that was just suppressed in her heart. She loved Zhào Wěi Xíng, but that didn't mean she loved him without any self-respect, loving him to the point where even the last shred of dignity would be trampled on.

  Old Lady Zhao was rarely so provoked, her face turned red with rage, pointing at the woman in front of her with one finger: "You! Qi Xiaoguang, you're a woman who doesn't know what's right and wrong. If you want to leave, then hurry up and pack your bags and get out of the Zhao family, never setting foot here again!"

  Qiao Xiaoguang remained still, a smile on his face, looking like Maitreya Buddha, which was quite interesting. However, the more he looked like this, the more it irritated Old Lady Zhao's eyes, especially that warm and gentle smile, which seemed to be sarcastic.

  "Aren't you leaving? Why are you still lingering here! Can't bear to part with it? Women like you aren't married to Wei Hang for the Zhao family's reputation and social status? The words you said earlier were so smooth, didn't you want a divorce? Then get out! Hurry up and roll out of here, I still hope Wei Hang can marry a daughter-in-law from a good family!" Old Lady Zhao was furious, wishing she could use a broom to sweep her away right now.

  Qiao Xiao Guang leaned against the headboard, a calm expression on his face: "Leave? Of course I'll leave, but not now! You've also seen that my legs aren't very convenient at the moment. Even if I wanted to leave, I'd have to recover first. You wouldn't want me to limp out and let others say that the Zhao family is stingy and mistreats their daughter-in-law, would you? If you really think so, then send me away now, and I won't complain!"

  "You're threatening me? You think I'm not dare to? Zhao old lady was a typical softie who feared the strong, in front of her husband and son, she couldn't get tough. It's just because she thought her daughter-in-law was easy to bully that she came up with this act every day. But what she didn't know was that her daughter-in-law originally had a violent temper, and if it wasn't released now, she wouldn't feel comfortable!"

  "How dare I threaten you, Mrs. Zhao? I'm just telling the truth... Don't worry, this time I won't bother your son again. You can arrange whatever you want, divorce, separate property, I have nothing to say!" Qi Xiaoguang's face was expressionless, and if they really divorced, she didn't care about the Zhao family's wealth at all.

  She had borrowed 2 million yuan from Zhao Weihang to invest in the studio, although it was a large sum of money, but she would think of ways to slowly pay it back... Although the studio didn't even get off the ground and couldn't see any future prospects, but she had really put her heart into it, maybe it would truly exceed her expectations?

  Even if it doesn't work out, she won't regret it. Life is about taking a big gamble, otherwise it's always so dull! At worst, they can get divorced and go sell wontons with her parents, which can still earn them a small amount every month!

  What's wrong with the wealthy families? What's wrong with the peasant families? Aren't ordinary people human beings too? Where do these people get their sense of pride and hierarchy from? Qi Xiaoguang often can't understand, but he can't figure it out for himself. However, Zhao Lao Tai Tai is particularly clear about it. She thinks that those without status or position cannot enter the Zhao family's threshold, and the farther they roll away, the better.

  Got it! Qi Xiaoguang finally understood thoroughly, why did she always compromise? Compromising until the end will only make herself more and more tired, and in the end, it's still a miserable ending. Since I know it's like this, I might as well break the pot and be done with it!

  What's wrong with letting her find Xiao Lizi, such a righteous girl. This time if it wasn't for herself, she wouldn't know what to do... The two of them are really going through thick and thin together this time. The one at home can't stand her, but she can't stand Mrs. Zhao either!

  If I really make a lot of money in the future, I'll definitely splurge and throw all the cash on the head of this rich family, let them see the mighty Qi's style! Let all the wealthy families fall behind, okay?!

  Madam Zhao really didn't understand where her daughter-in-law got the nerve from, coming and going, being so rude to her. She was indeed infuriated, finally looking at that woman directly covering her head with a quilt, turning her body sideways, stiffly using her buttocks to face her...

  Mrs. Zhao was extremely indignant, more so than ever before! Her daughter-in-law had rebelled against her, and she would not let it go unpunished!

  Then, Zhao Wei and his father Zhao Yan returned from the company and saw Mrs. Zhao sitting in the living room waiting for them. Zhao Wei felt something was wrong first, walked over to give Mrs. Zhao a shoulder massage, and smiled: "Mom, what's wrong with you today? The atmosphere at home doesn't seem quite right?"

  Zhao Yan knew his wife's temper and had a pretty good idea of what was going on, but he decided to avoid the world and chose to hide far away, wisely going upstairs to take a bath.

  Zhao Wei's mother put on a tragic performance, getting so angry that tears almost burst out: "Do you know what your wife said to me today? She said she's been suffering from my temper every day. Did I hit her or scold her? It was just telling her not to hang out with that woman from the Qin family too much. What's wrong with that? She keeps defying me, giving me attitude, son, you should ask your wife if she really takes me as her mother and mother-in-law!"

  After hearing this, Zhao Wei immediately scolded his father in secret. He must have known that something was wrong and had sneaked away, leaving only him behind. As for family matters, he wasn't clear about them, but the fact that his mother and daughter-in-law didn't get along wasn't a new thing...

  Zhao Weihang rubbed his temples, let out a sigh and said: "Mom, Xiaoxiao definitely didn't mean it that way... Qin Zhenyang's wife is actually friends with Xiaoxiao, if not for her help last time, Xiaoxiao might still be stuck there... don't look at the monk but look at the Buddha, Qin family matters are their own, she helped Xiaoxiao and that's a fact."

  Mrs. Zhao was unhappy, her son was born to herself, how could she help her daughter-in-law but not herself? She made a face at the female servant next to her, and the servant immediately reacted, deliberately running over to say: "Young master, Madam has been so angry that she hasn't eaten anything all day. You should persuade her... otherwise, how can her body take it?"

  Haven't eaten all day?

  Zhang Weiye was also unsure whether this was true or false, and he was obviously very worried. During the day, he was busy enough at the company, and at night, he still had to deal with these family troubles. "Mom, you know what I mean, Xiao Xiao is not a bad person at heart, and you are also doing it for her own good... actually, I hope more than anyone that you can get along harmoniously, if you really hold a grudge, I don't know what to do either."

  The wife can't really drive him away. If she really drives him away, then he has to go too! This one at home needs comfort, and there's also the old father...

  Mrs. Zhao saw that the bitter trick didn't work, and she thought of another move. However, she saw her son yawning tiredly, "Mom, I'm going to bed first... If you really haven't eaten anything, it's still better to eat a little, otherwise, you'll hurt your body and won't have the energy to argue later."

  Zhaowei said so, not without basis. He had just heard the maid say that his mother hadn't eaten anything, but then he saw the leftover snacks on the tea table. Isn't this obviously deceiving people? So he didn't bother to continue either.

  Madam Zhao was furious: "Is this something a son should say?"

  "Zhao Wei, stop right there! You're so concerned about her, do you know what she said today? She said she doesn't care about this family at all, she said that even if it's a divorce, it's just a relief for her, and even if she has to leave with nothing, she still wouldn't mind. Is this the kind of woman you want to protect again and again?" Madam Zhao shouted with all her might.

  After she finished yelling, she found that her son had gone upstairs. Although she didn't see his body stiffen, he also didn't stop in his tracks.

  Zhao Wei went straight to the bedroom, his wife was in the room holding a computer browsing the forum. He leaned over to take a look and found that the name of the forum was "Those Things in the Luxury House". When he wanted to see more, his wife had already closed the webpage completely.

  "Back?" Zhi Xiaoguang lazily leaned back in his chair, looking at the man who had approached him, his eyes fixed on him, as if trying to see something out of place from his eyes.

  Zhao Wei Hang didn't do as she had hoped, looking like nothing had happened at all. He took off his suit and hung it in the closet, loosened his tie and walked over: "What were you just looking at? You seemed so absorbed."

  Qī Xiǎo Guāng smiled and said, "Nothing much, just that we're all in the same boat, no one's better off than anyone else."

  Zhao Wei's body stiffened slightly, and his face turned around with a seemingly somewhat gloomy and indescribably complicated expression. "Is the wound on your foot better? Otherwise, I'll take another day off tomorrow to accompany you to the hospital for another check-up?"

  "It's okay, your company matters are important. This little injury of mine will heal in a few days even if you don't bother with it." Qiao Xiaoguang shrugged his shoulders, seemingly indifferent.

  The more indifferent Zhao Wei was, the less pleasant his heart felt. He didn't know what his mother and she had talked about at home today, or what she and his mother had said to each other, none of that mattered.

  He thought of what his mother had said earlier. She wanted a divorce and felt that it was a relief, that she could be free after the divorce. Was that really true?

  Has their marriage come to this? He didn't want to believe it, but some things were right in front of him, and he couldn't help but question them.

  At this time, however, Qi Xiaoguang spoke up before him.

  "What? Is there nothing you want to ask me?" The woman leaning on the computer seemed to be laughing carelessly, but Zhao Wei's words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to get them out.

  "Good morning."

  "Hmm? Go on, I'm listening!"

  "Are you really that eager to get a divorce? Do you really think our marriage was a mistake from the start? I want to hear an honest answer!" The man sighed, his tone more serious than ever before.
