She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1804: Chapter 1881: Stirring Up Family Separation

Xu Yingshan’s next words startled Sheng Ning, ”I heard you are getting a divorce?”

”Who did you hear that from?”

”My aunt! She’s already formally separated from my uncle and is planning to live with you after you divorce my brother.”

”...”

”Sis-in-law, are you really going to divorce my brother? If you two really divorce, then my aunt and uncle will definitely divorce too, though my uncle is still trying to prevent it.”

”Prevent what?” Sheng Ning asked instinctively.

”Of course, he’s trying to prevent my aunt from divorcing. He’s willing to live with you afterward.”

”...” Sheng Ning was completely speechless now, feeling an awkward warmth and a bit guilty because of the elders’ regard.

”Remember to pass on my words. I have other things to attend to, so I’ll hang up now.” She practically couldn’t wait to hang up the phone.

Feng Zhenzhen had been watching from the side, and she managed to hear bits and pieces, expressing shock, ”Is the Xu family always this bizarre?” She prided herself on growing up in the U.S., with an open mind and having seen many weird cases, but the Xu family’s situation was simply astounding.

It left her speechless.

”My parents-in-law have always treated me well.”

”I can tell,” she answered with a hint of distraction. Generally, when a daughter-in-law is divorcing a son, the family would scold the daughter-in-law or use moral coercion. But the Xu family is completely different, as both elders are thinking about living with the daughter-in-law after the divorce.

It’s like they’re ready to abandon their son!

Feng Zhenzhen couldn’t help but recall the Chen Family she saw at the General Union Courtyard when she visited before, noticing Chen Huaying and Old Master Chen. Those were Chen Yingjie’s family members, who were both very approachable, without any pretense.

She wondered what his parents are like?

Feng Zhenzhen’s cheeks flushed, suddenly coming to her senses, wishing she could slap herself. What nonsense was she thinking? She was going mad. Back in the U.S., she might have indulged such fantasies, but those thoughts had completely ceased upon returning to the mainland.

Previously, she merely thought of Chen Yingjie as an ordinary comrade, at most possessing good overall qualities. But upon arriving on the mainland, she discovered that he was actually a Captain with illustrious achievements, and his family’s background was significantly better, even much superior to Xu Qigang’s.

He seems to possess all the good traits: cheerful, resolute, brave, and sunny...

While she is merely a devil in the abyss, in any case, unworthy of him.

Sheng Ning, sensitive as always, noticed Feng Zhenzhen’s demeanor and soothingly patted her shoulder, diverting the topic, ”I’m still temporarily taking the position of the Feng family’s head. Eventually, it will have to be returned to the Feng family. Do you want to take over?”

Her implication was clear enough. If Feng Zhenzhen wanted to take over, she would begin gradually transferring power and start teaching her what she knows.

This requires a process, and she needs to plan ahead.

Feng Zhenzhen’s eyes lit up but quickly dimmed again. The family head’s position has been an obsession since childhood, etched in her bones, not necessarily rare, but upon falling from grace, she vowed to regain what was lost.

But now, she didn’t want it as much; having been by Sheng Ning’s side for so long, she roughly understood what kind of person Sheng Ning was. The more she understood, the more she envied and wanted to learn from her.

When someone can relinquish such a huge authority, why can’t she?

Moreover, deep down, a subtle voice is telling her that if she truly becomes the family head, she will forever lose the right to stand in front of Chen Yingjie.
