Chapter 39 Let’s get a divorce

"Uncle Jiang, are you still busy?"

Seeing Lu Cheng coming to his house late at night, Jiang Dahai was happy at first, but then secretly shocked.

The wedding is tomorrow, and if you come at this time, I'm afraid something might have happened to the wedding...

"Uncle Jiang, where's Jasmine? I want to talk to her."

Time was urgent and Lu Cheng didn't have time to exchange pleasantries.

Jiang Moli almost fell asleep. When Jiang Dahai dragged her in front of Lu Cheng, she was dazed.

Jiang Moli was still wearing pajamas, made of fine cotton with a white background and blue floral patterns. Her long hair was scattered messily on her chest and shoulders. Her small face was delicate and pretty, her skin was whiter than snow, and she was incredibly beautiful under the light.

She glared at Lu Cheng, "Why are you here?"

"Let's go out and talk."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Cheng had already grabbed her wrist and walked out, turning around and instructing Jiang Peng, "Come out in five minutes to pick up your sister!"

The relatives in the courtyard leaned over to look at Lu Cheng who had already walked out of the yard:

"Dahai, this is your son-in-law, he's really handsome."

"I heard she's an officer, and holds a pretty high rank. I've known since she was little that Jasmine has great potential!"

Jiang Peng: "Second Mother, you didn't say that last year. You said my sister was lazy and didn't want to work, so no man wanted her."

"Nonsense, I never said anything like that."

Ding Yuzhen would never admit that her third brother's family had married into a wealthy family, and she was thinking of taking advantage of them in the future.

"Xiaopeng, go out and look after your sister. Don't follow too closely."

Jiang Dahai sent Jiang Peng out.

He might have guessed that his two sisters-in-law had often made up stories about his daughter behind her back, but since they didn't say it to his face, he pretended not to know.

……

After leaving the Jiang family, Lu Cheng did not let go of Jiang Moli's wrist, but just slowed down his pace slightly.

Jiang Moli was still confused and didn't care too much about being dragged away by him.

"I have an urgent mission and I have to rush back to the army. Do you want to hold the wedding as usual, or wait until I get back?"

"Ah, let me think about it."

"Okay, tell me your decision when you get to the gate of the compound."

Lu Cheng lowered his eyes and looked at her, with guilt and reluctance hidden deep in his eyes.

He also wanted to stay and personally marry his beloved girl home, but he had no choice.

From the moment he chooses the profession of a soldier, his body and his life belong to the country.

"When will you be back next time?"

"It's hard to say. I have plenty of family leave, but the duration of this mission is uncertain. Adding the follow-up work, it will take at least three months."

Three months later, her mission would probably be coming to an end.

Jiang Moli looked up at the man.

It was already very late, all the residents were asleep, and there were no street lights. The entire family quarters was pitch black. She could only roughly make out the outline of the man's face, which was firm and deep, with eyes like cold stars.

"Lu Cheng."

This was the first time Lu Cheng heard his wife call his name.

The voice was so soft and sweet that his heart almost melted.

"Well, I'm here, you go."

"Tomorrow's wedding will remain unchanged. Next time you come back to visit, we'll get divorced."

Lu Cheng's smile froze on his face before it could even bloom.

Divorce, a word that sounds distant and unbelievable.

After a while, he spoke again, "Jasmine, I know it's unfair for you to have the wedding alone. Can you wait for me to come back? We can have the wedding when I come back."

His voice was low and pleading.

"It's not about the wedding. I don't like you. I agreed to the marriage so I wouldn't have to go to the countryside. I was just using you. A woman like me who's ungrateful would do you a favor by divorcing you. But don't worry, I will return the betrothal gifts and all wedding expenses in full and compensate you..."

"I don't mind."

Jiang Moli opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Jasmine, I don't mind being used by you. I do it willingly."

"Jasmine, I have to go now. We can talk about divorce when I get back." The tall figure of the man quickly disappeared into the night.

The cool night breeze blew, and Jiang Moli felt inexplicably empty in her heart.

"Sister, what are you thinking? Your brother-in-law treats you so well, and you still want to divorce him?"

Looking at Jiang Peng who appeared out of nowhere, Jiang Moli kicked him.

"Who told you to eavesdrop on our conversation?"

"Dad asked me to come! Why do you want to divorce your brother-in-law? If you divorce him, can you find a man who is better than him, who can make more money and is more willing to spend money on you?"

No.

Although there are many men, it is likely that you will never meet someone like Lu Cheng again.

But what can she do? Should she abandon her family just for a man?
She did not doubt Lu Cheng's sincerity towards her.

But sincerity changes rapidly.

"No matter how much you hear, don't tell Dad a word, or I'll beat you to death!"

Listening to Jiang Moli's threat, Jiang Peng sneered: "If Dad knew you were asking for a divorce, he would beat you to death first."

"If you don't tell him, he won't know."

"No, sister, I just don't understand why you want a divorce? What's wrong with your brother-in-law?"

Jiang Moli glanced at him and said, "Don't meddle in my business."

"If you don't tell me, I'll tell Dad!"

Jiang Moli had no choice but to lie and say that she was just angry in order to piss off Lu Cheng.

Jiang Peng didn't doubt it.

His sister is the kind of person who would do something like getting a divorce out of spite.

……

Jiang Xiaoguang could see that Lu Cheng was in a bad mood, his face was as cold as ice.

He guessed that Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng had a quarrel.

After all, marriage only happens once in a lifetime, and anyone would make a fuss if the groom can't attend the wedding.

"Xiao Guang, tomorrow's wedding reception is now in your hands. Please be on time and don't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, Third Master. I will definitely help you take your wife home safely and securely."

Lu Cheng's original plan was to take Jiang Moli back to the Lu family first, offer tea to the elders, and then go to the hotel together for the wedding banquet and spend the night in the bridal chamber.

When he is not around, Jiang Moli can only stay alone in the empty room.

But Jiang Moli has decided to divorce him, and after the wedding banquet, she might not be willing to live in his house again.

"You follow her arrangements. If she wants to go back to her parents' home after the wedding banquet, you send her back."

Jiang Xiaoguang wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words.

Lu Cheng did owe Jiang Moli that he missed the wedding, but as a soldier, there was nothing he could do about it.

As a military family member, Jiang Moli should understand and support her husband.

No matter how much trouble you make, you can't go back to your parents' home on the wedding day and embarrass the leader and his wife.

In his opinion, Lu Cheng spoiled Jiang Moli too much.

On this side, Jiang Dahai learned that Lu Cheng had an urgent mission to return to the army and could not pick up the bride in person tomorrow, so he generously expressed his understanding and consideration.

He personally called the Lu family and discussed the arrangements for tomorrow's wedding with them.

After answering Jiang Dahai's call, Lu Dezhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the third son's wife has many minor flaws, she is still very sensible when it comes to major issues."

Anhui nodded in agreement.

The fact that she was willing to hold the wedding even without a groom made her think much more about her daughter-in-law Jiang Moli.

……

The next day, Jiang Moli was called up before dawn.

Comb your face, comb your hair, get dressed, and put on makeup.

Jiang Moli was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. She was like a doll, letting Grandma Xi toss her around.

 The male protagonist cried like a puppy: My wife doesn’t want me anymore, wuwuwu…
