A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 581 Breaking Free
"So you're Mu-Cheng? You're really pretty," said the mother when she saw Qiu Mu-Cheng. She liked her immediately.
Du Liang smiled and put his hand out to shake Qiu Mu-Cheng's hand. "Hello Mu-Cheng, I'm Du Liang."
"Pleased to meet you," said Du Liang in a friendly manner.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng just frowned and didn't shake Du Liang's hand. She just politely nodded and said apologetically, "Manager Du, I'm sorry but my husband is still waiting for me, so I'm not able to stay and entertain both of you."
What?
Husband?
Du Liang and his mother were both shocked.
The mother questioned Han Li, "Han Li, what's going on? Didn't you say your daughter was still single? Why does she have a husband?"
Han Li's face immediately turned livid as she quickly explained, "Mrs Du, don't get so worked up. That boy is just a piece of trash, so how could he be our Mu-Cheng's husband? Mu-Cheng wanted to divorce him a long time ago, but that useless thing keeps harassing our Mu-Cheng. But Mrs Du, I promise you that I'll get Mu-Cheng to divorce that piece of trash tomorrow and they'll have nothing to do with one another."
But the anger on the mother's face didn't dissipate because of these words.
"Divorce? Han Li, my son is a rare talent and is truly one in a million. No matter how pretty your daughter is, as long as she's been married before, my son's not taking her. My son might be over thirty, but he's unmarried not because he can't replace a girl, but because he has high expectations. He has two houses, a luxury car and doesn't look too bad, so there are plenty of women lining up to marry him. There's no need for us to marry someone who been married before." The mother clearly sounded like she was angry that she had been cheated, and she didn't mince her words at all.
Han Li wiped the sweat off her brow. "Mrs Du, listen to me. Even though my daughter married that useless coward for three years, they've never slept together, so my daughter is still a virgin." "Are you telling me the truth?" Mrs Du looked at Han Li.
Mrs Du did like Qiu Mu-Cheng very much.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was pretty, stylish and fashionable.
If she was really a virgin, then even if she was married before, Mrs Du didn't really mind.
"Mum, I think Mu-Cheng's not bad," Du Liang chimed in from the side.
Mrs Du finally nodded.
"If that's the case, then even though I'm not too pleased, we'll agree to this. But Mu-Cheng, as your future mother-in-law, since you're going to marry and live together with my son, I hope you won't have any more dealings with other men.
Tomorrow morning, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get this divorce settled. What do you think?" said Mrs Du to Qiu Mu-Cheng in a tone of voice that sounded more like an order than a question.
Her son was someone who could demand a wife with good looks and a good job anytime. Since this was going to be Qiu Mu-Cheng's second marriage, she was sure Qiu Mu-Cheng would agree to this. Qiu Mu-Cheng should not have any right to go against her words.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng remained silent.
"Mu-Cheng, you silly girl, why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and tell Auntie Du that you'll divorce that Ye Fan tomorrow. Du Liang has two houses and a luxury car too," said Han Li anxiously as she couldn't wait to agree on Qiu Mu-Cheng's behalf.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't care at all.
She turned and started walking towards her own room.
"Mum, I won't divorce Ye Fan. He's my husband, and he will be the only man in my life. As long as Ye Fan wants me, I will not leave him. As for anybody else, I don't care even if he has a hundred houses or a hundred luxury cars," said Qiu Mu-Cheng so firmly, it sounded like gold bars were clanging onto the floor.
"Excellent! Han Li, your daughter really has some backbone, huh! Since that's the case, there's no point in talking anymore. Son, let's go!" Mrs Du was so angry that she was trembling all over. She got up with a start and dragged Du Liang out with her.
"Mrs Du, don't go! Come back!" Han Li ran after them and tried to get them back, but Mrs Du was clearly furious and refused to bother about Han Li. She left without even turning back.
"Qiu Mu-Cheng, you crazy girl! Are you trying to drive me to my grave? It wasn't easy for me to replace you a good man and you drove him away like that? That Ye Fan is just a useless coward, so what's so good about him? You're even disobeying your mother over him? And you say you're not leaving him and you don't care even if someone has a hundred houses? So you're very capable? If you're that capable, then why don't you buy your own house and you own car? You've been married for three years but you two have absolutely nothing and you live in your parent's house. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?!" "Qiu Mu-Cheng, I don't care whether you want to or not, but you must get divorce! Otherwise, even though you're my daughter, I'm going to chase you out of this house. Make your choice! Are you going to sleep along the streets with that useless fellow, or choose to marry another man who's better?!" Han Li was really furious this time.
When Ye Fan smashed the cutlery and threw the rice cooker, Han Li was already furious enough.
But now, Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to be stubborn, clinging onto a piece of trash and even drove Mrs Du away. With all these infuriating things happening one after another, Han Li was truly incensed now. "Chase me out of this house?" Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately laughed when she heard these words.
That smile was bitter and sounded self-deprecating.
"What are you laughing at? Why, do you think I wouldn't dare to chase you out of this house?" Han Li became even angrier.
"Why would I think that way? My mum's so amazing that she dares to even sell her daughter away like I'm an object for sale. Why wouldn't you dare to chase me out of the house? But you don't have to go through so much trouble, I'll leave on my own accord. I've had enough of this house. You don't want to see me and Ye Fan, right? From now on, you won't have to see us anymore, just as you wished! Ye Fan and I can't afford to offend you, but we can always just move away!" Qiu Mu-Cheng took her suitcase and left.
The house door slammed shut with a loud bang.
All the unhappiness and humiliation she suffered over the past three years was closed behind that door.
Qiu Mu-Cheng left without even turning back. All she left her parents with was that determined yet disappointed back view of herself leaving.
It had been three years. Qiu Mu-Cheng had wanted to escape this cage like house for a long time.
This place had no warmth and was never heartwarming. There was nothing but berating and coldness all day and all night.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was doing this not just to go against Han Li, but to go against the past three years of humiliation she had suffered. She wasn't just leaving, but she was breaking free.
She was like a bird that had broken free of its shackles and was going to fly high in the skies!
"Why, you...!"
Han Li never thought things would come to this.
She looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng's heartless and determined back and became so angry that she was trembling all over.
"Good on you, Qiu Mu-Cheng! Since you'd rather sleep on the streets with that useless coward, go ahead! Get out! All of you just get out and not come back! Since you're so gutsy, then don't ever come back here! Freeze to death out there! Don't you dare come back and beg me to take you back!"
