Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Men and Women, Favoring One Over the Other

Madam Ji’s expression turned cold: "Mrs. Fu, what do you mean by that? Let’s not even mention the longstanding friendship between the Ji Family and the Fu Family. Even Shinian and my son, Ji Nanfeng, share a bond thicker than blood. I am speaking to you politely out of respect for you as Fu Shinian’s wife. Do not take this courtesy for granted."

"Whether I want your courtesy or not, that’s not for you to decide." Su Mu looked at her coldly: "People like you, I wouldn’t dare accept any face you give. I’m afraid to walk outside afterward, people might say I’m heartless and ruin my reputation."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You would understand my meaning if you had an ounce of conscience. You know all too well what you’ve done to Jiang Bei. There’s no need for me to spell it out. I am holding back only because you are Nanfeng’s mother, but before I lose my patience, I advise you to leave. Otherwise, it will not look good for anyone."

"What have I done?" Madam Ji was in denial but seemed somewhat guilty, raising her voice considerably: "Is it that Jiang Bei, that wretched woman, slandering me to you? Mrs. Fu, you can’t just take her word for it. Before she married Nanfeng, she lived with another man for two years. For a woman like that to be allowed into the Ji Family was already giving her ample face. What more does she want?"

Su Mu took a deep breath, but the anger in her chest did not subside. She smiled and said:

"Lived together for two years? Didn’t you know about this before they got married? Did Jiang Bei hide anything from you? Since you knew everything and even compromised and accepted it, what right do you have now to say that her marriage to Nanfeng was an act of charity from your family? You may think you’re a treasure, but Jiang Bei doesn’t necessarily see it that way. Two years have not given you a true understanding of her. It’s sad for Jiang Bei that she chose the Ji Family blindly, resulting in such a tragic marriage."

"Mrs. Fu, you can’t talk like that."

"Then how should I speak? As an elder, you do not act like one, constantly calling your daughter-in-law a wretched woman. What about your son? You talk about Jiang Bei living with another man for two years, but have you ever counted how many girls your own son has ruined outside?"

Madam Ji looked at Su Mu with disapproval: "How can you equate men with women?"

"Heh." Su Mu let out a cold laugh: "One cannot be unjust favoring one over the other, and one shouldn’t be too absolute. You drugged the food you gave to Jiang Bei while she was still weak, insisted on an amniocentesis. Have you considered her feelings, what about the child in her womb? What if something went wrong? Could you bear the responsibility for that?"

"What if the child isn’t Nanfeng’s?" Madam Ji looked at Su Mu: "Mrs. Fu, you are too young, there’s so much you don’t understand. When you reach my age, you’ll know why I did what I did."

"I will never become someone like you because you have shown me the coldest side of humanity. Now I finally understand why Jiang Bei, who was once so lively and cheerful, has become like this. The Ji Family truly played a big part in it."

"You..."

"But it’s not too late yet. You always wanted Jiang Bei and Nanfeng to divorce, right? Always trying every possible way to tear them apart? You won’t have to bother anymore. Jiang Bei will get divorced. She hopes that after she officially proposes divorce to Nanfeng, he will agree and not entangle with her anymore. That’s all."

Madam Ji’s eyes lit up:

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I am serious. It’s better to escape from the pit that is the Ji Family as early as possible. If the Qi Family’s daughter is so eager to jump in, there’s nothing we can do to stop her, is there?"

Although Su Mu’s words were unpleasant, they at least contained what Madam Ji wanted to hear, so she didn’t take much offense, and she slightly smiled:

"Since Mrs. Fu has put it that way, I won’t disturb you any further. If Jiang Bei wants to stay here, let her stay. We’ll see after the baby is born and a paternity test is done."

Madam Ji intended to leave after saying this but was stopped by Su Mu who extended her hand:

"Let’s make things clear. What did you just say? A paternity test? And after it’s confirmed that it’s Nanfeng’s, what do you plan to do? Surely you don’t plan on taking the child back to your care?"

"That’s only natural," Madam Ji asserted without finding anything wrong in her reasoning: "If it’s really a child of the Ji Family, of course, it should be raised by us. What capability does Jiang Bei have? Besides, I don’t feel assured about the kind of person she might raise the child to be."

Suppressing her fury time and again, Su Mu finally reached her breaking point. She laughed, and when she spoke again, there was no trace of mercy:

"You are the most shameless person I have ever met. What right do you have to stand here and say such things with such brazenness? The Ji Family will raise the child? If anyone in the Ji Family had shown the slightest concern and care for a pregnant woman, Jiang Bei wouldn’t be in this state right now. After she goes through the hardship of carrying a child for ten months, not only do you not trust her enough to insist on a paternity test, but you also want to take the child back? Do you think all the good in this world is meant for the Ji Family?"

"I’m telling you now, give up that hope. The divorce is for sure, the child has nothing to do with you, and when we meet in the future, we should act as strangers; after all, the past two years with your family are the stains that Jiang Bei wishes to erase from her life completely."

"Mrs. Fu!" Madam Ji seemed to have hit her limit as well, having never been spoken to so boldly: "I spoke to you nicely bearing in mind the Fu family’s reputation. Who do you think you are? Although there were once ties with the Fu Family, you have not yet remarried. To put it nicely, you are Mrs. Fu, but to put it harshly, you’re just someone that Fu Shinian has not tired of yet, kept around just for his amusement. I advise you not to take yourself too seriously, otherwise, if one day you’re kicked out of the Fu family, life won’t be easy for you."

Having already witnessed Madam Ji’s character, Su Mu remained unshaken by her words. She had no desire to argue her case, for what mattered most to her now was Jiang Bei. As long as Jiang Bei was unharmed, everything else could be overlooked for the sake of Fu Shinian and Nanfeng’s reputations.

But while Su Mu might let things go, it didn’t mean Fu Shinian would. Just as she turned to return to her car, she heard an unfriendly voice coming from behind:

"In this lifetime, I, Fu Shinian, will marry only one woman, and that woman can only be Su Mu."
