CHAPTER 872: CHAPTER 455:

His mother’s attitude was evident. If he didn’t bring up the divorce agreement, his mother would, and he couldn’t wait until then. His mother’s intervention would only hurt Xu Wei.

Xu Wei said calmly, "Since we’ve come this far, I’ll sign the divorce. But don’t worry, I won’t take half of your assets."

She had money.

Even if she couldn’t go back to the Xu Family, once she was better, she could leave North City and find a job to support herself.

Jiang Xun owed her nothing.

If that forceful encounter could bring her a divorce, her freedom, she was willing.

Xu Wei quickly signed her name.

Jiang Xun gave Xu Wei one last look and left.

His love for Xu Wei had always been his own matter. Being able to marry Xu Wei, to spend even a brief time together, made him happy.

But at the hospital entrance, his mother blocked his path, "I told you to divorce Xu Wei quickly, you did it as I said, but Jiang Xun, what were you thinking?"

Lady Jiang was furious and made a motion to snatch the divorce agreement from Jiang Xun’s hand.

Yet Jiang Xun refused. "Can you stop this madness? I’m an adult now. Whether I divorce her or stay with her, it’s my choice. Whatever I give her, it’s out of my own will. She never demanded anything from me. Now, can you let us part ways amicably?"

Lady Jiang shouted in anger, "Amicably? How long have you been married? If you had been married for years and she truly cared for you, I wouldn’t say anything. But! You’ve been married for such a short time, and this woman married you with ulterior motives from the start. That’s fraud, don’t you see? Jiang Xun, don’t be foolish!"

"I’m not being foolish; this is what I willingly give to her!"

When Jiang Xun said this, his expression became even more resolute.

So, does this mean it has nothing to do with her?

Lady Jiang felt she couldn’t remain calm. "I’m telling you Jiang Xun, everything you have is built upon the foundation of the Jiang Family. Whatever you want to give her, unless you earn it with your own hands, don’t think of giving it to her!"

Lady Jiang’s eyes were wide with rage.

She had given an absolute command.

Jiang Xun acted as if he hadn’t heard, not responding to her.

Lady Jiang knew that Jiang Xun was now obsessed with Xu Wei, so she said little.

Who knew, Jiang Xun even quickly intercepted the conversation, "Don’t think about going behind my back to find Xu Wei. I’m telling you, that’s impossible, I won’t allow it!"

"You said it, I did as you asked, but you’re not allowed to harm Xu Wei. If you dare hurt her, don’t blame me!"

Lady Jiang was already angry.

Hearing Jiang Xun say this made her even angrier, "Don’t blame you for what? Are you going to lay hands on me or plan to send me to jail? Jiang Xun, in your heart, am I not more important than a woman you like?"

Saying nothing was better, as soon as Lady Jiang said this, her anger spiked.

Look at what kind of person she had raised!

For the sake of a woman, to say such things to his own mother—if word got out, wouldn’t people laugh?

Jiang Xun pressed his lips together and spoke hoarsely, "I’m not saying you’re unworthy. I’m an adult; I know what I want to do. You can interfere, I’ll listen to you, but! If you keep taking extreme measures, it’s just pointless. Xu Wei and I have reached this point, let’s part amicably!"

Jiang Xun felt exhausted.

He had been so persistent about Xu Wei for such a long time, and he didn’t want things to end like this with her.

But, unfortunately, Xu Wei’s heart wasn’t with him.

Lady Jiang gestured with her hand, "Fine, there’s no need to say more. A grown child can’t be controlled by their parents. I can’t control you now, let’s leave the hospital together."

Jiang Xun thought his mother had truly compromised.

But he never expected that his mother’s compromise was only temporary.

The moment he got into the car, several people held him down, and to prevent him from struggling, they tied him with nylon ropes, even — taped his mouth shut!

The son was foolish, but the mother couldn’t follow suit.

They were already at the hospital, and Lady Jiang didn’t want to go back and forth.

So she had people restrain Jiang Xun in this way, then she went to find Xu Wei herself.

After Xu Wei signed the papers, she had planned to be discharged.

Lady Jiang’s arrival took Xu Wei by surprise, but she quickly realized the problem and calmly said, "Your son and I have already signed the divorce agreement; you don’t need to worry about me affecting your son in the future."

Lady Jiang laughed coldly, "Affect my son? Xu Wei, you’re truly skillful. The Xu Family is clever; marrying for deceit, using us as a fallback, and now divorced, you still want us to give you money?"
