The last question Lu Xingzhi asked was almost in a hushed voice. He was terrified when he heard the word divorce from Commissar Wang. He was afraid that Jiang Yao would feel aggrieved and angry about the matter. She might be so mad that she would not want to live with him anymore.
Jiang Yao had probably never felt so much grief in her entire life. The army hinted that Jiang Yao was a vixen. Lu Xingzhi knew about the rumor. That was why he was afraid that Jiang Yao would not be able to endure such rumors and wanted a divorce to prove her innocence.
"Jiang Yao, listen to me carefully. We can never get a divorce!" Lu Xingzhi could not wait for Jiang Yao's reply before he growled at her. "You can't die either!"
Jiang Yao was shocked by Lu Xingzhi's growl. She raised her hand and pinched his arm. Then, when she realized that many people were looking at them, she cried out loud, "What else can I do except divorcing you? Did you hear what the people in the army are saying about me? What's wrong with me? When have I ever interfered with you and another woman? I'm also a woman. I also have dignity and pride. Did you hear what they say about me? This is even sadder than asking me to die!"
"Some people can't bear to see us living a peaceful life as a couple. They say that I'm a bad woman behind my back, but who would believe that I'm innocent? Other than divorcing you, what else can I use to prove myself?" After Jiang Yao said that, she pushed Lu Xingzhi away and ran all the way home.
Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a few seconds before he chased after her hurriedly.
Those who pretended to pass by them finally stopped. When they looked at the couple who had already left, someone said, "Mrs Lu is too pitiful. She's such a good person. How can she be the vixen that those women mentioned?"
