Chapter 911: Don’t Act Recklessly

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Miao noticed that the maid was quite sensible; she felt that the maid hadn’t made a wrong choice in supporting her. By the ti she finished her shower, Zhang i had hurried back from her family ho.

Ever since Gu Shan had proposed divorce, Zhang i had chosen not to stay in the compound. She wanted to show Gu Shan that she wasn’t afraid of him. Since he was so eager to curry favor with Gu Zi, to the point of neglecting their marital bond, she had no reason to beg him to stay married.

Moreover, they had a military marriage, which was legally protected. Even a soldier couldn’t easily dissolve their marriage. Gu Shan was most concerned about his position; she truly believed he wouldn’t risk demotion to file for divorce. Thus, she stood firm this ti. Although her family had urged her to soften her stance, she refused to back down.

Throughout her life, her family had never considered her feelings. They had always taught her to endure after marrying Gu Shan. But this ti, she wouldn’t tolerate it. She believed her daughter, Lin Miao, would be the only one to understand her. So, upon hearing that Lin Miao was released early and had returned to the compound, she rushed over.

Sitting together on the sofa, Zhang i grasped Lin Miao’s hand, her expression earnest as she shared her thoughts. “Miao Miao, your father has completely been swayed by that ungrateful Gu Zi. He has abandoned us both. The truth is, when we visited you before, your father and I were already arguing every day. We didn’t want to worry you, so we kept it to ourselves.

“But now that you’re out, I must tell you that your father has changed his heart and wants a divorce. I’m prepared to fight him to the end. But Miao Miao, if we do end up divorced, will you co live with ? Your father won’t care for you anymore; when you were in prison, he only ca to see you because I urged him to. Please co with , no matter how difficult it gets, I’ll be with you.”

As she spoke, Zhang i was moved to tears, thinking Lin Miao would share her sentints.

However, upon hearing this, Lin Miao’s expression soured instantly. She nearly jumped up to shout but restrained herself. Confusion etched on her face, she asked, “Mom, you’re not seriously thinking of leaving Dad, are you? What are you doing?

“You can’t just get divorced from him! That’s not an option! Now that I’m back and preparing to take college entrance exams, I promise I’ll get into a good university for your sake. But you have to promise , don’t act recklessly. This isn’t a big deal; just apologize to Dad like Uncle and the others suggested, and this situation won’t escalate to divorce, right?

“Dad’s a man and doesn’t consider how his actions affect as his daughter. You, as my mother, should think of ! If you two divorce, how am I supposed to hold my head high in the Gong family? Our circumstances are already inferior to theirs; they look down on as it is. If you go through a midlife divorce, how will I face anyone?”

Lin Miao had indeed grown more composed during her ti in prison, but the stakes were high—this situation directly impacted her ability to reclaim her position as the young mistress of the Gong family.

The more she spoke, the more anxious she beca. She felt that Zhang i was utterly foolish. She had little affection for the couple but didn’t want them to divorce.

Now Zhang i expected her to distance herself from Gu Shan if they divorced, which was out of the question.

Gu Shan was a military officer; in the city, he held a respectable position. Having a father like him could still overshadow many others. But Zhang i was just an ordinary public servant; to put it bluntly, without the title of the camp captain’s wife, she wouldn’t even have her job. At best, she was a homaker. How could she dare to divorce the camp captain? It was sheer madness!

If Zhang i divorced Gu Shan, she would have to move out of the military housing. Without a solid standing at her family ho, how could she expect to live? Would they end up scraping by together? Lin Miao vehently opposed the idea of Zhang i getting a divorce.

Zhang i was taken aback by Lin Miao’s attitude. She stared blankly at her daughter. She hadn’t expected that even her own child couldn’t understand her pain. She thought Lin Miao would at least empathize with her situation and side with her in condemning Gu Shan. But instead, Lin Miao seed to echo everyone else, urging her to apologize to Gu Shan.

At that mont, mories flooded Zhang i’s mind—images of a ti when Gu Zi was still her daughter. Back then, her relationship with Gu Shan was relatively harmonious, with very few argunts. Whenever there was a disagreent, little Gu Zi would firmly stand by her side, using her childish voice to tell Gu Shan, “Daddy, teachers say that husbands shouldn’t bully their wives; that’s not how you get rich! You have to love Mommy!”
