Chapter 501: Chapter 501: The Ancestor’s Words Are Proven True Again

Sitting in the car, neither of them spoke at first.

Chu Xi’s face was stretched tight like a drumhead, clearly furious at Jiangli’s words.

Zhou Yiran stole glances at him several times.

"Yiran—"

Chu Xi, catching Zhou Yiran’s gaze from the corner of his eye, looked even more solemn than before, but above that was disappointment and confusion, "You don’t believe that madman’s words, do you?"

Zhou Yiran had yet to speak.

Chu Xi then said, "You want to divorce me?"

Zhou Yiran immediately said, "How could that be?" She stated decisively, "Whether the Abbot’s words are true or not, I don’t know, but even if what she said is true, I still won’t divorce you, husband, don’t overthink it."

Hearing this, Chu Xi’s expression eased somewhat.

Zhou Yiran reached out and patted the back of his hand.

Chu Xi felt quite wronged and couldn’t help but vent, "That Abbot is nothing but a mad swindler, her words are definitely not true! Wife, think about it, we’ve been to so many hospitals, had so many check-ups, and never found any problems, which proves we’re both healthy, right?"

Zhou Yiran was half-doubtful, "Maybe not entirely..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xi started to feel angry again, "Wife, do you really believe what that swindler said? I think Song Taishan is in cahoots with her, trying to deceive us, intending to sabotage our marital bond! How can there be such people in the world who want to break up a couple right from the start?"

Chu Xi originally had little to do with Song Taishan due to work, let alone any personal feelings.

The affinity between the two families mainly centered around Wenru and Zhou Yiran.

After today’s events, Chu Xi disliked Song Taishan even more and his heart grew wary of him.

Seeing Chu Xi’s frantic expression, Zhou Yiran explained, "That’s not what I mean, husband, what I’m saying is... maybe there’s something to what the Abbot said. Do you remember how she phrased it? She said the problem wasn’t with either of our bodies..."

Chu Xi’s complexion darkened, and with a sudden stomp on the accelerator and a sharp turn of the steering wheel, he pulled over beside the green belt.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Yiran, but seeing her face softened his own expression. He suppressed his anger, not wanting to argue with Zhou Yiran, "Yiran, what exactly are you thinking? Her words are nonsensical and confusing and she even suggested we ask my parents. Is it possible that my parents don’t want us to have children and have poisoned us?"

Zhou Yiran said, "That’s not what I mean. I’m just wondering if there’s something hidden here..."

Zhou Yiran and Chu Xi had been through a love marriage and had gotten along for nearly twenty years, with a very good relationship.

Under any circumstances, unless Chu Xi did something to cross Zhou Yiran’s bottom line, she would not choose to divorce him.

But she wanted to clarify the hidden truths here.

Moreover, the way Jiangli brought up Chu Xi’s parents, there was clearly something in her eyes.

Zhou Yiran, thinking of Jiangli’s gaze, felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if Jiangli truly saw through something.

"So what, you now want to go back and press my parents about what they did to us?" Chu Xi said with a mix of anger and helplessness. He didn’t want to fight with Zhou Yiran, but he also didn’t want to distress his own parents over something so preposterous.

Zhou Yiran responded patiently, "Husband, you know that’s not what I’m saying. How could I possibly want you to go back and interrogate Mom and Dad? Besides, I think the Abbot didn’t mean that Mom and Dad did something to us. So I’m thinking, why don’t you go back and ask your parents if something strange or peculiar ever happened in the family before?"
