Chapter 310 - 156: Mrs. Zhou Protects Her Daughter
"Mother!" Zhou Jingyi’s face flushed with embarrassment as she said, "But, in the end, your daughter will have to return home one day. We may feel relieved now, but how will your daughter live in the future?"
Mrs. Zhou snorted, "What’s so difficult about that? If life becomes unbearable, then divorce him! Is my daughter of the Zhou family worried about not finding a better match? Even the worst match would be better than staying in an empty room alone!"
"I don’t want that!" Zhou Jingyi’s face changed slightly as she firmly said, "Mother, I—I will not remarry!"
Mrs. Zhou, frustrated with her daughter’s intransigence, poked her on the forehead in anger, "Don’t tell me you still have feelings for that heartless man! That faithless scoundrel! My daughter, wake up! A man who elopes with a prostitute cannot be relied upon! Even if you choose not to marry again, you absolutely cannot spend your life with him! Today he elopes with a prostitute, who knows if tomorrow he might elope with a maid! Who knows what he’s capable of doing! You’re going to prevent your mother from resting in peace even after a hundred years!"
"Mother!" Zhou Jingyi’s eyes brimmed with tears as she said, "Mother, please don’t say that! I, I—"
The mother didn’t mince words, and although she was verbally attacking Shi Fengming, at the end of the day, he was still Jingyi’s husband. Every harsh word felt like a slap to her own face! Zhou Jingyi’s face was burning with shame and the tears flowed ceaselessly. No matter how bad he was, he was her husband, and moreover, she truly loved him.
Mrs. Zhou sighed deeply, pulling her daughter into her arms and gently patting her back as she sobbed, "What a disappointment, you are intent on breaking your mother’s heart!"
"Mother!" Zhou Jingyi, overwhelmed with sorrow, couldn’t help but burst into tears.
"Stop crying, stop crying!" Mrs. Zhou, her heart aching for her daughter, sighed, "Now tell me, what do you want? Are you going back with them?"
Go back? Given that her mother-in-law had sent people to fetch her, she surely wasn’t doing so out of goodwill. Returning would only subject her to pointless wrath and torment. Only a fool would go back!
"I’m not going back!" Zhou Jingyi wiped away her tears and shook her head, her voice nasal, "I won’t return until my husband comes back!"
