Chapter 186: Let's Break Up

It seems her daughter's status in the family is indeed quite high.

However, pondering the meaning of Jiang Cheng's words, she felt that her son-in-law still hoped his daughter would bring the children to follow him to his military post.

After all, she could see the indulgence and affection for her daughter in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

"Mm, she is willing to go; you can report it to the military unit later!"

Si Rong's mother made the decision for her daughter; she and her husband were both getting old, and they didn't know when they might pass away, so in the end, the ones her daughter could rely on were Jiang Cheng and the children.

Her daughter had grown up in wealth and had never suffered any hardships after marrying into the Jiang Family, and both of Jiang Cheng's parents treated her with care.

This time, her son-in-law was being transferred to Wushan, which was beneficial for his future prospects; perhaps he could even be promoted to Commander in the future.

If her daughter suffered some hardships by following him to the military post now, it would only be temporary; once she became a Commander's Wife, who in the Jiang Family wouldn't say she had shared the bitter and the sweet with Jiang Cheng all along?

That was one reason; the second was that as her son-in-law's status rose, it was inevitable that other women would set their sights on him.

This was normal; butterflies all want to flock to the most beautiful flower.

On the way back, Si Rong sat in the passenger seat.

The scenery outside the window retreated rapidly, and she spoke up, "Then when are we leaving?"

Her mother's words made sense; it seemed she really had never suffered any hardships in her life.

She should learn basic life skills like doing laundry and cooking.

"How about you stay in Huaiyang for now, and wait until I go and do some simple repairs on the assigned housing before I come to pick you up?"

He was still worried that Si Rong wouldn't be able to adapt.

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll go with you."

After Si Rong made up her mind to follow him to the military post, she also remembered there were many other things to arrange.

First was the dance club; if she couldn't stay in Huaiyang, she might as well find a way to transfer it out.

Teacher Xiao Tao was a young woman who really loved dance, and she was very diligent in teaching the children, so she could discuss it with her later.

Besides that, there was also the matter of Jiang Zhi.

This child was being stubborn with Jiang Qi; she shouldn't end up harming herself.

She found an opportunity to go back to the Jiang Family to have a talk with Jiang Qi, urging her to lower her stance for the sake of her daughter.

Jiang Qi listened to her, patiently communicated with Jiang Zhi about her choice of boyfriend, and finally indicated that no matter which boy Jiang Zhi chose, she would support her.

She almost replicated the words Si Rong had taught her.

Jiang Zhi's eyes turned red as she listened, and the grievances of many years in her heart seemed to be relieved somewhat.

But these words didn't sound like something Jiang Qi would say at all.

She guessed her aunt had taught her.

So Jiang Zhi asked back, "Then if I choose Xu Hu, is that okay?"

Sure enough, Jiang Qi immediately bristled, but she forcibly held it back.

"Mom, of course, I support you!"

These words were practically said through gritted teeth by Jiang Qi, which made Jiang Zhi chuckle in spite of herself.

Actually, her mom seemed quite cute sometimes.

"Your aunt is going to follow her husband to the military post at Haidao; why don't you go to M Guo to visit Mom during your winter break? Frank really wants to see you."

Jiang Zhi had no interest in going abroad; the familiar voice she had heard on the phone from her aunt earlier had told her not to go abroad.

Her aunt had also said that when the time was right, she would tell her about this matter, but she didn't know when that would be.

"Winter break is still a long way off; I haven't decided what I'm doing for winter break yet," Jiang Zhi felt an inexplicable resistance toward her mom's "true love" Frank, "Besides, if he really wants to see me, he can come to Huaguo himself."

Jiang Qi:...

She felt her daughter was a bit too sharp-tongued, and she even explained for Frank, "Frank is in poor health."

"So, what exactly are you after with him?" Jiang Zhi was a bit confused, "His old age? His poor health?"

Jiang Qi:...

In short, no matter how stifled Jiang Qi felt about this conversation, Jiang Zhi's mood had smoothed out.

Since she wasn't being difficult with her mom, she naturally started to find Xu Hu an eyesore.

This day, as soon as Xu Hu woke up, he heard Jiang Zhi beckon to him with her finger.

"You go!"

Xu Hu:...

He really couldn't understand the thought process of this young lady; she had a different idea every minute.

"I mean, we are breaking up; from now on, we have no relationship. You leave."

Jiang Zhi repeated her true thoughts.

Xu Hu couldn't accept it; although Jiang Zhi's attitude toward him was hot and cold, Jiang Zhi's family background was good, she was pretty, her eldest uncle was a Deputy Army Commander in the military region, and her second uncle was a County Magistrate.

Any one of them could give him a good future with a flick of their finger.

And he had also overheard that Jiang Cheng's family seemed to have a house in Jing Shi!

How high were housing prices in Jing Shi now!

If they truly loved Jiang Zhi, why wouldn't they give Jiang Zhi a house?

That way they wouldn't have to rent a place.

The two of them were already enjoying pre-marital cohabitation.

Xu Hu was still indulging in these beautiful fantasies yesterday, never expecting that when he woke up, Jiang Zhi would tell him to leave.

"I don't agree to break up!" Xu Hu wanted to grab her hand, "Dating is a matter for two people; you can't just do whatever you want."

Jiang Zhi stared at him quietly for a moment, "Actually, I have never liked you, especially after I found out you bullied your sisters since you were little. You even made them pool money to buy you a computer; are they going to have to pool money for your bride price to get you a wife in the future too? Honestly, I really pity them for having a younger brother like you."

Xu Hu:...

He cried.

Jiang Zhi was clearly such a beautiful girl, so why were the words she spoke so heart-wrenching?

"Fine, let's break up then!"

Xu Hu immediately packed his things and left Huaiyang.

And he planned that no matter how Jiang Zhi begged him in the future, he would never pay attention to Jiang Zhi again.

The words spoken today had truly hurt his heart too much.

Jiang Zhi had not expected that her aunt would be willing to go to a place like Wushan to follow the army.

Because that place really did not suit her aunt, who was like a pampered flower of wealth.

But it was also enough to show her aunt's feelings for her uncle.

Ming Zi expressed equal shock at this, along with reluctance, "The old saying is truly correct: men are like limbs, friends are like clothes; are you really going to abandon me for Jiang Cheng?"

"How about you come along too?" Si Rong blinked her eyes.

Ming Zi waved her hands repeatedly, "This rich lady would never set foot in a place like Wushan; there's nowhere to shop, nowhere to play mahjong. You mortals blinded by love, sigh! Have you really decided to go?"

"Yes, and I can't take Wang Ma."

Ming Zi was even more surprised, "Ah? Then how will you stand it? I bet that in less than a week, you'll be back in Huaiyang with the child."

Si Rong:...

"In your eyes, am I unable to endure even the slightest hardship?"

Ming Zi nodded vigorously, "More than that! You are the little princess of the Si Family, after all. What? Are your parents and brother really willing to let you go?"

"It was my mother who told me to go, though she must have done it for my own good; perhaps she's worried Jiang Cheng will abandon me!"

Ming Zi thought for a long while, then finally hugged her.

Ever since university, when she settled down in Huaiyang, they had never been separated.

"Jiang Cheng! The hatred of stealing one's wife is irreconcilable!"

Jiang Cheng, who had just returned home from work:...
