“No one can hurt you.”
“But your mom…”
“Even if it’s my mom, she can’t hurt you. You’re her daughter-in-law, and you’re carrying her grandchild.”
Jiang Luoli smiled bitterly.
That was true, but when had Madam Mo ever treated her as a daughter-in-law?
Never.
After all, in Madam Mo’s eyes, a scheming girl like her who deliberately seduced her son and wanted to marry into a rich family to change her social status wasn’t worthy of being her daughter-in-law.
“But now, she’s doing something to hurt me.” Jiang Luoli finally understood that no matter what she did, Madam Mo was dissatisfied with her and wasn’t willing to acknowledge her as her daughter-in-law.
In the past, because Mo Shixiu treated her well, she thought that since she had married into the Mo family and was carrying his child, it was good to live with Mo Shixiu.
She didn’t hold it against Madam Mo anymore.
As long as Madam Mo didn’t do anything overboard, she would tolerate it.
Because she liked Mo Shixiu and cared about him.
Hence, she didn’t want to see him being stuck between her and Madam Mo.
It didn’t matter if she suffered.
But her concession didn’t change anything.
Madam Mo’s slap woke her up completely.
Jiang Luoli decided not to be silly anymore.
She’d thought about it.
She liked Mo Shixiu and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
But if Mo Shixiu was still on Madam Mo’s side in the end, she might have no choice but to part with him.
She didn’t even want to maintain harmony on the surface.
Anyway, she wouldn’t hide her true opinion and attitude towards Madam Mo.
If Mo Shixiu could accept it, they would continue living together.
If he couldn’t accept it, she’d divorce him.
She knew very well that if she really divorced Mo Shixiu, she would definitely be in pain.
She might even regret it.
After all, she would never meet another man like him in her life.
She probably couldn’t even find a man half as good as him.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t confident in herself, but a man like Mo Shixiu was hard to come by.
How many times could a person be lucky in their lifetime?
Hence, if she wasn’t forced to, she wouldn’t consider divorcing Mo Shixiu.
She hoped that he wouldn’t disappoint her.
“Mo Shixiu, your mom is hurting me now. I can tell that she hates me. She feels that I’ve affected your future. I’m a disaster, and she wants to get rid of me.
“I’ve tried to treat her as my mother-in-law, but I don’t think it’s possible now. I understand now that no matter what I do, as long as I don’t have a good background, I’ll never catch her eye.”
She couldn’t possibly be like Qiao Mianmian, who suddenly had an impressive background.
She was just an ordinary citizen. There was no way she could counterattack.
Hence, if she didn’t divorce Mo Shixiu, she would probably have to go against Madam Mo for the rest of her life.
“Luoli, I’ll definitely give you an explanation for this. I’ll definitely do what I promised you. But the most important thing now isn’t this. You have to protect yourself.”
