Chapter 369 Pretend I never gave birth to you!
Chapter 369 Pretend I never gave birth to you!
"And you!" Gu Ruyan pointed at Yun Xiaoniang, "It was one thing to cry and whine when you were young, but now that you're old and faded, you still haven't changed. You love to wail so much. You can just howl at other people's funerals, why come to our Song family to bring bad luck!"
Song Yanzhou and the others looked at their mother in surprise. Their mother was always gentle and dignified and would never say such things. What she said today was really... strangely satisfying!
Zhang Wen, who was initially furious, was amused by Gu Ruyan's words.
She couldn't help but recall her youth, when Gu Ruyan was gentle and easily bullied. Because she suffered all kinds of grievances in the Liu family, and her family members were biased, no one listened to her explanations, and it would only lead to more severe punishments. So Gu Ruyan got used to not arguing.
Until someone spoke ill of her, she saw the usually gentle Gu Ruyan rush out to confront the person, and even curse back.
The shock back then was just as intense as it is now; the scenes are almost identical.
"You never told me all these years. If I had known earlier that you had suffered such injustice in the Yun family, I would have definitely given those shameless dogs a good scolding!"
Zhang Wen took Gu Ruyan's hand, her eyes reddening slightly. "Ruyan, thank you."
Yun Honglang had never been insulted like this before, and his face turned bright red. "You shrew!"
"The divorce papers are already written. If you sign them, we'll help you. If you don't, get out of here now, so you don't get in my way!"
Gu Ruyan's attitude was very assertive. This was not the Yun family's place, but their Gu family's place. Why should they be allowed to run wild?
Yun Honglang looked at Yun Xiaoniang, whose forehead was covered in blood, and then at the arrogant Zhang Wen, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Zhang Wen, have you thought this through? Once I sign this divorce agreement, it will be absolutely impossible for you to return to the Yun family!"
Zhang Wen looked disgusted and said, "I don't care!"
Yun Xiaoniang lowered her head, concealing the smugness in her eyes, her heart filled with joy.
After all these years, she is finally going to become Mrs. Yun in the right!
"Fine! You'll regret this!"
Yun Honglang's face was ashen, his eyes blazing with fury, and he looked as if he wanted to tear Zhang Wen apart.
His expression turned cold again after he looked at the contents of the divorce papers:
"Nianchu is a daughter, why should she follow you? It's one thing for you to act recklessly, but you're even ruining your daughter's future. Is this how you act as a mother?"
Zhang Wen said with a mocking smile, "Having a father like you is worse than not having one at all. Nianchu is my daughter, and what happens to her in the future has nothing to do with you!"
"Impossible!" Yun Honglang said coldly, looking at Yun Nianchu, "You said yourself, are you going to follow me or your mother?"
Once the divorce papers are signed today, your mother will never have the chance to come back. If you stay in the Yun family, you will be the eldest daughter of the Yun family!
Once you leave with her, you'll be just an ordinary citizen, and finding a good husband will be absolutely impossible!
Yun Honglang's expression was extremely firm. Nianchu had been living a life of luxury since childhood, and she had never been shortchanged in terms of food, clothing, or daily necessities. Now that she was living a miserable life outside, how could he possibly make her give up her status as the eldest daughter of the Yun family?
Zhang Wen is stupid, she can't understand this point. Is Nian Chu stupid too?
Yun Nianchu looked at Yun Honglang in front of her and said slowly but firmly, "I will follow my mother."
Upon hearing this, Yun Honglang's eyes widened: "Your mother is mentally ill, but are you mentally ill too?"
“I’ve made up my mind long ago. From the day I left the Yun family with my mother, I never intended to go back.”
As she spoke, Yun Nianchu glanced at Yun Chengze unconsciously and said, "No matter who I marry in the future, even if it's just an ordinary person, I will be willing."
Anyway, if I can't marry the person I love in this life, it doesn't matter who I marry.
When my mother married my father, everyone said it was a good marriage, but what did she get in the end?
When Yun Chengze heard Yun Nianchu mention marrying an ordinary commoner, his brows furrowed involuntarily, his knuckles tightened beneath his sleeves, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
"You're doing great!" Yun Honglang laughed angrily. "Don't come begging for my help when you can't find a way out!"
"I won't. Anyway, in my father's heart, Xiwan has always been more important."
She can get away with anything, no matter how big the mistake, but I get punished for even the smallest one. If I go back with you, with Yun Xiaoniang running the household, what kind of good life will I have?"
Yun Nianchu's thinking was extremely clear. Yun Xiaoniang was inherently vicious, and they could all see through her, except for her father.
Or perhaps... the father simply doesn't want to see through it.
Without their mother, the Yun family was a den of dragons and tigers.
"Okay, then I'll pretend I never raised it!"
Yun Honglang's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, "He only had one daughter in his whole life, and she's a useless thing. Does he think anyone cares about her?"
"Lord Yun, what you've said is going too far!" Yun Chengze said with a stern face.
Yun Honglang said with a mocking expression, "Am I wrong? As the head of the household, you can't even give birth to a son, only a useless daughter."
Bringing you back is just a fig leaf for her. She treats you so well because you're successful; if you weren't, she wouldn't even bother with you!
"That was clearly you!" Zhang Wen's face flushed red. "Yun Honglang, you're disgusting! You're so angry that you even want to hurt the child. Hurry up and finish signing and get out!"
Yun Xiaoniang quietly picked up the divorce papers. She couldn't wait for Zhang Wen to take Yun Nianchu away; she was annoyed just looking at that girl!
However, when she saw the money written on it, her expression immediately changed.
Isn't this asking for the moon?
She knew exactly how much wealth the Yun family had, but Zhang Wen had taken the initiative to divorce her and still wanted half of the family fortune. How could that be allowed?
This should all belong to her and Xiwan!
"Master, there are other things written on this as well. Isn't it a bit too much for my sister to ask for?" Yun Xiaoniang reminded her.
Yun Honglang naturally noticed the money on it as well. As a man, he didn't care much about such things. He knew that Zhang Wen had contributed a lot, and some of it originally belonged to her, so it was only right for her to take it with her.
"Yun Honglang, these things originally belonged to me. You wouldn't refuse to give them to me, would you?"
Seeing Yun Xiaoniang's changed expression, Zhang Wen felt even more that Ruozhen and the others were right before, and that she should take all the things that belonged to her with her!
Why should it be left to Yun Xiaoniang and Yun Xiwan?
Wouldn't that just be letting them get away with it for nothing?
“If you don’t give it to me, I will take it to the authorities. These things that rightfully belong to me will still have to be returned even if the prefect judges the case.”
However, by then... I'm afraid Lord Yun's reputation will suffer even more.
Zhang Wen looked confident because Song Yanzhou and Song Yi'an were familiar with the court's laws, and they had carefully planned all of this.
