Chapter 429: Why Should I
Chapter 429 Why Should I
Mengyu understood, this middle-aged woman was none other than Chen Xinyu, the wife of Xie Xinyuan who had come to seek medical treatment three days ago.
"Are you that Chen Xinyu who stole someone’s fiance and then trampled them underfoot?"
Chen Xinyu was furious: "What right do you have to say that about me?"
Mengyu coldly replied: "And what right do you have to speak of me in that manner?"
Chen Xinyu lifted her chin, looking down at Jiang Mengyu: "Precisely because you said things like, if my husband wants to get better, he must divorce me and also must welcome his mother and child into the Xie Family Ancestral Hall!"
Jiang Mengyu spoke indifferently: "Ms. Chen, you need to understand something, it was your husband and your son who came to me for treatment three days ago, not me going to your house begging you for anything.
My place is not a hospital, and I am not operating a registered business. I only decide to help when people come asking for it.
The rules of Medicine Sect are clear, there are three people we do not treat: the greatly wicked, the unfilial, and those with no destiny with us. I’ve already told both your husband and son, your husband suffers from an illness caused by karma, which means he has no destiny with me, and I won’t treat him."
"That’s not true, my son said that my husband wants a divorce all because you spoke out of turn!" Chen Xinyu said in a harsh tone.
Mengyu sneered: "What should be said and what shouldn’t be? His wife’s ghost, along with her ghost child, were chasing and beating your husband. He was in so much pain that he couldn’t bear it, and asked me what her demands were. Only then did I relay the words of those two spiritual bodies to him."
"So, it’s not me who told you to divorce your husband. I’m just conveying the words of that woman ghost who haunts your husband day and night, hitting his head. Whether he believes it or not is up to him!
If he truly loves you enough, he would rather endure the torture and headache caused by those two Spiritual Bodies until death than divorce you;
If he wants to divorce you, that means he feels a sense of guilt about his conduct towards Miss Wa Wa’s unmarried niece.
But no matter what he decides to do, it’s unrelated to me, I didn’t take a single penny from you, nor did I give any advice to your family. Even that woman’s request was something your husband asked of his own accord, I neither suggested he divorce you nor did I suggest he stay married.
Furthermore, don’t think I cannot see through the dirty thoughts in your mind. You don’t need to come looking for me, I am not that kind of woman who would blindly fight over a man with you.
Because I have my own fiance, his name is Gu Dongxing, he is a regimental commander, a hundred times more youthful and outstanding than your man!"
Yes, this woman hadn’t voiced her suspicions, but Mengyu saw through them: she thought Mengyu was coveting her husband, hence she used it as an excuse to make her husband divorce her and ascend in status.
Chen Xinyu was stopped in her tracks, indeed she suspected Mengyu was making her husband leave her because Mengyu had her eyes on her husband and wanted to rise above her station.
Knowing she was Gu Dongxing’s fiancee, her attitude softened immediately.
People in their circle all knew of that military god, saying her fiance was a hundred times more outstanding than her own husband was an exaggeration, but Gu Dongxing truly was exceptional.
This girl would not likely give up on a young and outstanding man like Gu Dongxing to compete for an older man.
Her face actually showed signs of grievance: "You have no idea, Xinyuan and I have loved each other dearly for twenty-five years, but now, because of your one sentence, my Xinyuan wants a divorce.
How will people see a woman over forty getting divorced? How am I supposed to live after this?
Even if my husband has been guilty in his treatment towards Miss Wa Wa’s niece, why should I bear the consequences? I haven’t done anything wrong."
