Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

On the screen, Jiang Yazhen lowered her eyes, her soft, sweet voice drifting over from the internet.

Su Mu stared at his phone screen, his expression pausing for a moment.

It's been more than ten years.

He dreamed that this woman would be gentle and considerate.

After so many years of marriage, all Jiang Yazhen left him with was the image of a bossy, loud, and shrewish woman.

Hearing that sweet, coquettish address now, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.

That was an absurd emotion.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

No matter how much this woman begs and pleads, it's all in vain.

The truth has long been known to the world.

Jiang Yazhen tried to force a smile on the screen, but the wind on the grassland was too strong, making her hair look like that of a madwoman.

She reached up to smooth her hair while trying to maintain her gentle persona. The comical scene made Su Mu shake his head in disbelief.

Su Mu leaned back on the sofa and changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

He slightly raised his eyelids and bluntly exposed his mistake.

"Ex-wife aunt, please don't try to mince words."

"Go look at yourself in the mirror."

"Look at yourself now, do you think you're a gentle person?"

"Your throat must be burning from straining so much!"

Su Mu pondered the words "ex-wife aunt" and found them absurd and laughable.

It was a nickname I made up on the spot back then.

Who could have predicted that his words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy?

This woman really is the ex-wife's younger sister, a genuine sister-in-law.

Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. His dear ex-wife aunt's acting skills are truly appalling.

On the other side of the screen, Jiang Yazhen rolled her eyes, speechless at the phrase "ex-wife aunt".

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, wishing she could crawl up the internet cable and tear Su Mu's mouth apart.

But she suppressed her anger and dared not lash out.

People are now under someone else's roof and have no choice but to bow their heads.

To save face in front of her best friend, she had to win over Su Mu.

She covered her lips with the back of her hand, giggled twice, and forced a smile.

"I was ignorant before."

"She failed to fulfill her duties as a wife."

"Not gentle enough, not considerate enough."

"Your criticisms of me are all valid, and I accept the punishment."

Her eyes darted around, and she continued her acting. "This trip abroad made me realize a lot of things."

"What is the most important thing in a person's life?"

Designer handbags? High-end cosmetics?

"Neither."

"You still need to have a good husband."

"My husband is the one who stays by my side the longest."

"When I was hungry before, you always cooked for me."

"When I'm sick, you're the one who runs around taking care of me."

"It's all thanks to you for earning money to support the family."

"In the end, my husband is the most reliable man in the world."

Jiang Yazhen was calculating and plotting, determined to use flattery to her advantage.

She believed she had Su Mu's temperament completely under her control. This man was inherently resistant to gentleness and didn't respond well to force; he appreciated being fawned over.

She had never given him a kind word in the more than ten years of their marriage, and she called him a good-for-nothing every day.

Now, for the first time ever, he personally stepped in to praise him.

Wouldn't this man be completely infatuated and lose his bearings?

If you can please this man, taking her back to Jiangcheng will be a piece of cake.

After listening to this long and eloquent praise, Su Mu raised his eyebrows.

I felt completely relaxed and comfortable.

He deliberately dragged out his words, responding slowly and deliberately.

"Oh, I can feel it."

"After returning from the grasslands, I've truly gained a lot of insights into the true meaning of life."

"He's even learned how to give compliments."

"To be honest, it really touched me." Su Mu's words were like heavenly music to Jiang Yazhen's ears.

They've taken the bait!

This stupid man really falls for that!

Jiang Yazhen nodded her head rapidly, like a chick pecking at rice, afraid that Su Mu would change his mind.

"Yes, honey!"

"You truly understand my feelings."

"Could you please come and pick me up and take me back to Jiangcheng?"

I really want to see you again.

"With the wind and sun outside, how could my delicate body withstand it?"

"Please come pick me up soon!"

Su Mu nodded slightly, adopting a serious expression of thought.

"Oh, I see." Jiang Yazhen's eyes lit up as she answered eagerly.

"Yes, that's it!"

"I'm on that grassland hillside outside Jiangcheng right now."

"It only takes you half an hour to drive over."

"My sisters and I are all here waiting for you."

She was only halfway through her sentence when Su Mu interrupted her rambling.

"I understand the address."

"But I didn't promise to pick you up."

"Am I your husband?"

"You're just making a racket."

Su Mu spoke calmly, yet every word he uttered was piercing.

That smug look on her face just now was all an act, just to amuse the cat and dog. Jiang Yazhen's mind went blank, and her anger surged to the top of her head.

That scoundrel dared to play her!

She yelled and screamed at the screen, disregarding her image.

"Su Mu!"

"Why not?"

"How come you're not my husband anymore?"

"We just got divorced!"

"What can that tattered piece of paper prove?"

"Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. You can't turn your back on me and abandon me!"

"If you don't come to pick me up, I'll die right here in the middle of nowhere!"

Sitting next to Su Mu, Tao Yaoyao couldn't hold back any longer.

She burst out laughing. In all her life, she had never seen such a bizarre person as Jiang Yazhen, who took shamelessness to the extreme.

She can still boss her ex-husband around even after the divorce.

This shamelessness surpasses even the thickest corner of a city wall.

On the other end of the video call, Jiang Yazhen, with her sharp ears, heard the crisp noise clearly.

She had never heard this woman make any noise before.

Jiang Yazhen brought her eyes close to the screen, staring intently at the edge of the image.

A sleeve dressed in Hanfu was openly placed next to Su Mu's arm.

The exquisite embroidered patterns on the fabric are clearly visible in the lens.

The two were standing very close together.

In normal interactions between men and women, there is at least a half-meter distance between them.

This woman is practically glued to Su Mu.

There's definitely something going on between these two! Jiang Yazhen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, her chest tightening with anger.

How dare that dog Su Mu do that?

Bringing a mistress to your father-in-law's house to show off your power?

This guy's like he's going to poop on her neck!

Jiang Yazhen cursed loudly at the screen, completely forgetting the gentle and virtuous demeanor she had just pretended to be.

"What are you laughing at!"

"What's so funny!"

"Su Mu, who is that wild woman beside you?"

"You better tell me the truth!"

"Are you having an affair behind my back?"

"No wonder you refused to come pick me up; you've been bewitched by that vixen!"

"Give her the phone, I want to confront her face to face!" Su Mu looked at Jiang Yazhen, who was furious on the screen, and had no interest in explaining.

He slowly picked up the water glass on the coffee table and took a sip.

"Is it any of your business?"

We're divorced.

"Who I am has absolutely nothing to do with you?"

Jiang Ya was so angry that she was trembling all over, and her finger was shaking as she pointed at the screen.

"Su Mu, you bastard!"

"Don't forget, this is my home!"

"You're showing affection with some random woman in my living room, have you no shame?"

Where's my dad?

"Dad! You have to do something about this heartless bastard!"

Jiang Yazhen frantically called out to Jiang Baichuan on the screen, trying to get help. Unfortunately, Jiang Baichuan had already vanished without a trace.
