Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I will not agree to it. You want a divorce, sure. Unless you’re not a Chu, your name is not Chu Lui, and you don’t call me ‘father’!” Chu Jiang glared at his son. He chose to marry her, and now, he wants to cast her aside. There was no such thing. Xia Ruoxin had not done anything wrong.

How could he agree to it?

Song Wan pulled her husband’s hand and shook her head at Chu Lui. “Ah Lui, can we discuss this matter? Ruoxin has not done anything wrong. Not to mention your father, even I won’t agree to this.” She strongly disagreed to their divorce. There was no such thing as divorce in the Chu family. Besides, she liked that child. She might be overly quiet at times, but she had grown on her.

Nowadays, very few women were as obedient as her. Ruoxin had a good character. She might be able to change her son who has been less than affectionate since he was young.

Chu Lui gave his parents a somber look. Since when had Xia Ruoxin got them to stand by her? It made no difference; he was dead set on the divorce. He could not allow her to occupy the status of being his wife for long.

It was not hers to begin with.

“Dad, Mom, I will not get the divorce if you want the Chu family line to end.”

Chu Lui took his time to speak. Naturally, he had his reason to get them to agree unconditionally. He was a businessman. He would not venture into a war that he couldn’t win; neither would he make a deal without any profit. Everything was within his calculation, including this matter.

“What do you mean by this?” Chu Jiang squinted his eyes. What was he trying to say and how dare he end their family line. If it was really true, then he would beat him to death before letting him continue.

Song Wan started to get anxious. He was their only son; they were still waiting for him to bear them a grandchild.

“Dad, Mom, I want a divorce because of our family.” Chu Lui’s lips curled. He was not smiling or being affectionate. It had always been this way even with his parents. “Xia Ruoxin can’t conceive. Do you seriously want me to stay with her and let our family line end with me? I could have gotten other women to bear my child. Do you have the heart to let your grandchild be an illegitimate child or be born out of wedlock? And hide behind others, ashamed?”

He certainly had calculated and aimed precisely at one’s weakness. Xia Ruoxin’s weakness was him; his parents’ naturally was about his child. The next generation of the Chu family.

What could they do with a woman who couldn’t conceive?

Song Wan went pale; she met her husband’s eyes. Indeed, this information had definitely surprised them. It’s unacceptable to them.

Chu Jiang hesitated this time. He believed his son would not make a joke out of this. His thoughts strayed, and he was not as insistent as before. Man was selfish by nature, him as well. He could not have such a daughter-in-law, no matter how good she was. This was her Achilles’ heel [1. An Achilles heel is a weakness that would cause a downfall despite one’s overall strength.]. She couldn’t conceive a child to extend their family line; thus, she had no right to stay in their family.

“Are you sure about this? Ah Lui, do you want us to check again? Medicine is so developed now; maybe, she still can.” Song Wan asked reluctantly. She did not want her son to have a divorce, but she wanted a grandchild more. Till now, she had been envious seeing others carrying a fair and soft grandchild.

“Dad, Mom, this is her medical report. You can have a look.” Chu Lui was well-prepared. He took a medical report out of his briefcase. On it was a thorough record of Xia Ruoxin’s physical condition, including the truth about her inability to conceive. Obviously, with her condition, it was impossible even with an IVF [2. In vitro fertilization is a process aimed to aid conception by collecting eggs from the ovaries and fertilizing it with a sperm in a lab.]
