Chapter 873: Chapter 456:

“Why don’t you just go and rob someone?”

Mrs. Jiang’s words grew harsher.

Xu Wei’s brow furrowed slightly, “The bride price you gave during the wedding, we can return every penny to you. Now, I haven’t received a single penny from your son, so please don’t throw dirt on us!”

The divorce agreement Jiang Xun drew up stated she was to receive half of the assets, but she did not want them.

She and Jiang Xun had hardly spent any years as a couple, and they had no real connection.

Moreover, according to Jiang Xun, it was meant as compensation to her. If she accepted Jiang Xun’s money, wouldn’t that mean she’d forgiven him?

She would never forgive Jiang Xun for what he had forced on her!

A smirk of cold ridicule touched Mrs. Jiang’s lips, “Saying you haven’t taken a penny sounds nice, but what does your divorce agreement say? In those big bold letters, I hardly think you’re blind!”

Due to the Xu Family’s influence and Jiang Xun’s genuine eagerness to marry Xu Wei, as a new daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang initially had a lot of respect for Xu Wei.

But now.

With Xu Wei exposed in such a scandal, there’s no way she could respect Xu Wei, especially since they were already arranging the divorce; she wouldn’t respect her anymore.

Xu Wei said, “I am indeed not blind, but I truly did not take a single penny from your son. If you don’t believe me, you can have someone check my accounts right now.”

Xu Wei didn’t want to argue further with Mrs. Jiang.

But Mrs. Jiang hadn’t made her purpose clear yet, so she wouldn’t let Xu Wei leave.

Mrs. Jiang blocked Xu Wei’s path, “I’m not interested in checking your accounts. If you haven’t taken any, that’s for the best. But let me make it clear to you: you’ve wasted my son’s time, so you need to make amends. Otherwise, don’t even think about divorcing!”

Xu Wei already knew Mrs. Jiang’s attitude before, but she truly hadn’t expected that Mrs. Jiang would run up to her demanding money. It was quite unexpected.

Xu Wei chuckled, “How much do you plan for me to compensate you?”

“What do you think? My son was a good, clean young man, and after being with you, now everyone in North City knows you two got married and are divorcing in less than a month. What do you think others will think? So, you tell me, how much should you pay?” Mrs. Jiang got angrier as she spoke.

It was such bad luck to run into Xu Wei!

Divorced in less than a month, and even a suicide attempt.

Now the person is in the hospital, and even though the Xu Family tries to suppress the news, rumors still spread.

Eventually, people will talk behind their backs.

Xu Wei said coldly, “If you don’t even know how much you want, then please don’t block my way. I don’t have time to waste with you.”

“Xu Wei, you’re not divorced from my son yet, and this is how you treat me?” Mrs. Jiang was extremely upset.

Xu Wei calmly replied, “The papers are signed. You’ve never been kind to me, so why expect me to be nice to you? As for the compensation, if too much seems embarrassing and too little makes you feel cheated, let’s go through the court process. Whatever the court awards, I’ll abide by it, alright?”

With that, Xu Wei turned to leave.

She truly didn’t want to waste another second.

Mrs. Jiang was so furious her chest hurt, “Going to court, is that it! Xu Wei, wait and see if all your embarrassing deeds get exposed, and you’ll still be so arrogant!”

Xu Wei hadn’t forgotten that Mrs. Jiang’s words also hurt her mother.

If Mrs. Jiang really exposed these matters, how furious would her parents be?

If the Xu Family’s reputation were utterly tarnished because of her, her parents would never forgive her, and she wouldn’t let Mrs. Jiang succeed. She coldly retorted —

“If you dare to spread these things, then let me tell you, the crimes your son inflicted on me, we’ll see each other in court!”

The implication was clear: if the Xu Family would suffer, Jiang Xun wouldn’t come out unscathed either!

Mrs. Jiang noticed the fierceness in Xu Wei’s eyes and was incensed.

At that moment, she wished she could kill Xu Wei.

Who would’ve thought a girl who seemed so gentle would turn out to be such a character!

Mrs. Jiang was infuriated, “Xu Wei, stop spouting nonsense here, what crime could Jiang Xun possibly commit against you? Since you married into the Jiang Family, Jiang Xun has been protecting you! He even wants to give you half his assets. How can you be so vile?”

“I’m vile?”

Xu Wei chuckled, “Why don’t you say your son’s vile? Why don’t you ask your son the real reason? If he hadn’t done something shameful, why would he think of compensating me?”
