CHAPTER 441: CHAPTER 467 AI MEI SEEKS HELP

Sun Chan and Junming were considered newlyweds; they hadn’t cuddled many times in the months since their wedding. But now, smelling the fragrance on her body, Junming naturally felt a bit tempted. However, seeing how tired she was, he couldn’t bear to disturb her, so he suppressed his desire, gently patted her back, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Sun Chan was up. After waking up, she suddenly remembered needing to modify a sample design for clothes and planned to draw it early. Gu Junming got up as well, planning to do the laundry.

Sun Chan felt a bit embarrassed, "Just leave it here. I can wash it myself."

"No problem, it’s just using the washing machine anyway. It won’t take me any effort."

As they were speaking, someone came to knock on the door, and Gu Junming hurried to open it. Someone rushed in, crying. It turned out to be Ai Mei!

Both of them felt a little uncomfortable seeing her. This woman had just used them, and now she was back looking for them?

Seeing the woman’s appearance, Sun Chan indeed felt somewhat pitiful; her face was pale, with a bandage wrapped around her forehead, not recovering well, her hair messy. She leaned against the side, her expression very pitiful. Moreover, her eyes were red, clearly showing she hadn’t slept.

Gu Junming asked, "What brings you here so early?"

"I’m hoping to ask for your help!" she cried, "My husband wants to divorce me, please help me, I don’t want to divorce!" She said as she was about to kneel.

Sun Chan quickly supported her, "What’s going on? How can you kneel?"

"I don’t want to divorce, I feel so wronged, please help me!" She kept crying. She had been waiting at their doorstep early, waiting for them to get up, and upon hearing movements inside, quickly knocked on the door.

Last night, she came home to find her husband with two pieces of paper, asking her to copy them down and sign her name.

Ai Mei asked what it was. Liu Gang said it was a letter of self-reflection admitting wrongdoing, "You previously talked nonsense, damaging Gu Junming’s reputation; the leadership was very unhappy. Don’t you think you should apologize properly? Since you’re not well educated, I wrote it for you. Just sign your name, and when the leadership sees you’ve admitted wrongdoing properly, they’ll forgive me."

Ai Mei agreed, "Alright then. I’ll just write my name. As long as I do that, you’ll be fine, right?"

Liu Gang nodded, urging her to write. Ai Mei wasn’t very literate, only imitating the words, and with Liu Gang’s urging, didn’t understand the contents on the paper and quickly signed her name after finishing writing.

Liu Gang was satisfied and said, "Well, you have some self-awareness. Go back to the village and farm, at least you’ll have something to eat."

"What are you saying... Why should I go back to the village?"

"It’s clearly written. All of these things were done by you; framing and slandering Gu Junming. Can I continue living with you?"

"Liu Gang..."

"Ai Mei, as a woman who is old and ugly, and can’t bear children, I don’t blame you. But you framed Gu Junming without my knowledge, I definitely can’t tolerate you for this! Think for yourself; you do nothing every day except causing trouble for me!"

Ai Mei cried out desperately, "It was clearly you..."

"When did I say that? Do you have any evidence?" Liu Gang frowned and said, "Are you trying to drag me down with you? What kind of military spouse are you?"

"Please, no." Ai Mei was truly scared, clinging to her husband begging, but he pushed her aside.

"Rest assured, I won’t divorce you. We still have the title of husband and wife, but you can’t stay here anymore; it’s embarrassing. How would people in the compound view me?"

Liu Gang had figured it out; since they didn’t collect a marriage certificate, he could just drive her away directly. After some time had passed, he would tell the leadership they were divorced, settle it, and let someone introduce a new wife. His parents would naturally keep it secret and not let her leave the village, while Ai Mei wouldn’t know his situation here. By the time she truly discovers, he would have moved up, and probably his child’s already born. What’s the worst that could happen? At most, just give some money!

Standing in the pit without shitting, treating her like this is already good enough.

Ai Mei was no fool; she knew if she went back to the village, her life wouldn’t be good. So, she stubbornly refused to return. But Liu Gang was firm, no matter how much she begged, he wouldn’t budge.

"What you say doesn’t matter; you’ve caused such a big issue, how can you continue living in the dorm?"

Ai Mei wiped her tears and cried, "I’ll go find Gu Junming! I have nowhere to reason!"

Liu Gang sneered, "Go find Gu Junming? Did you forget how you talked about him yesterday? Everyone in the compound knows your issue, who doesn’t know you’re ungrateful? Who would help you?"

Ai Mei was completely dumbfounded. Yes, before, because she wouldn’t admit being beaten, she made those willing to help her feel her problems weren’t her fault. People had just started helping her, only for her to sell them out, saying she had no issue with her husband, that they were envious and lied about it, leaving people feeling awkward.

Now everyone knows her character; who can help her! Really shooting herself in the foot!

Ai Mei trembled all over, realizing her husband was such a complete scoundrel! Ai Mei didn’t admit being beaten to maintain her marriage with him, but it became a tool for him to use against her!

She lunged at Liu Gang, "I’ll fight you, you bastard!"

But Liu Gang, robust and tall, didn’t regard her at all, slapping her to the ground.

"Shrew, calm down; nobody in the compound can tolerate you now! Aren’t you going to leave soon?"

Ai Mei wept loudly but received several more slaps from Liu Gang, "Stop howling! Do you want people to come watch and make fun?"

"Let them come; I’ll drag you down with me! I’ll tell everyone the things you did to me all these years!"

"Don’t forget! Your brother’s pursuing my cousin. If you ruin my reputation, I’ll mess up your brother’s marriage. Your parents would resent you deeply! Get out of here by tomorrow!" he said and went into the room to sleep.

Ai Mei felt incredibly cold inside; she wasn’t particularly favored at her parents’ home either. Otherwise, her family wouldn’t just watch while Liu Gang treated her this way. She stayed up all night without sleep, couldn’t come up with any solutions by morning, and had to seek help from Sun Chan and Gu Junming.

"I truly have no options left, please help me! Otherwise I won’t leave!" she cried pitifully.
