Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 820 - 815: A Complete Break

Now, knowing that Zhou Yunmei had been pretending all along and calculating against the family in her heart, Luo Honglan could no longer endure it. She didn't want to listen to any more explanations, determined to sever ties with Zhou Yunmei, directly crushing Zhou Yunmei's hopes, she coldly said to her, "Enough, no matter how much you say in the future, no one will pay attention to you. I've already made my stance clear, I absolutely will not pay attention to you anymore. Actually, ever since you tried to sell me to others for money, I had given up on you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei realized there was no way forward with Luo Honglan. Considering what she had done to Luo Honglan, she knew Luo Honglan would not easily forgive her. She placed her last hope on Luo Zhiming, who she had always loved dearly.

She walked over, holding Luo Zhiming's hand, looking at him with hope, "Zhiming, you understand your mother, right? Everything I did was truly for you."

Among all her children, Zhou Yunmei loved Luo Zhiming the most, and her efforts for him were the greatest. Luo Zhiming wasn't unaware of this, and he was clear about Zhou Yunmei's nature. Previously, he might not have thought much of this incident.

However, having learned from Xu He, Luo Zhiming understood that everything needs to be judged right or wrong. If you can't distinguish between right and wrong, living becomes meaningless, and you might end up like he did marrying Xu He—with no son, no wife, and nothing.

Thus, he looked at Zhou Yunmei and shook his head, speaking fairly, "Mom, stop using me as an excuse. Before, if you said it was for me, I might have believed you, but this time, you really did it for yourself. I was very clear with you last time, I won't want your money in the future; I'll rely on myself. As long as I don't spend lavishly like before, my life won't be bad. Last time, I even said I didn't want the money Xu He left behind, to keep it for your retirement. Do you think I'll let you betray elder brother and sister-in-law for money again?"

After speaking, Luo Zhiming clarified with Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying once again, "Brother, sister-in-law, this matter really has nothing to do with me. Recently, I've been working on the construction site and haven't even seen Mom."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong nodded to Luo Zhiming, somewhat moved. This unwise brother finally understood what's right and wrong, and he felt a slight relief.

But towards Zhou Yunmei, Luo Zhiyong felt pained yet resolute as he said to her, "Mom, considering you've raised me all these years, I call you Mom for the last time."

"Actually, when you were eager to persuade me to reconcile with that aunt, I knew your intentions weren't simple. But I didn't expose you because I saw you and Dad living together better recently, and Dad seemed happier with a companion. Despite knowing you were problematic, deep down I still held onto a bit of hope for you. I hoped that through Xu He's incident, you would truly improve and realize the importance of a harmonious family life."

After pausing, Luo Zhiyong deeply sighed and firmly stated his position, "Since you still don't understand how to cherish, then you're not worth cherishing by us. Today, in front of the Luo family, I'm making it clear that anything concerning Zhou Yunmei is unrelated to me from now on. Whether she lives or dies, births, old age, sickness, death, are completely unrelated to me."

Though Luo Zhiyong wasn't furious this time, his words made it clear he was resolute, undeniable.

Maybe because it wasn't just Luo Zhiyong's resolve, but also the determination of the other children, Zhou Yunmei was flustered for the first time. Her mind was in chaos, unsure how to handle this mess, not foreseeing Fang Pingying's cunning.

She had already figured out her intentions and was waiting for her.

Yet, with Zhou Yunmei's character, at this moment she still didn't know how to admit fault. Her first reaction was to threaten Luo Zhiyong, "Luo Zhiyong, you can't be so ungrateful. If your real mother didn't want you, had I not raised you with my sweat, you wouldn't know where you'd have ended up dying. Besides, people say, 'nurturing is better than birthing,' aren't you afraid of being criticized for doing this?"

"Zhou Yunmei, I am very grateful you raised me. All these years I've always treated you as my biological mother; think about what you've gained from me over these years. I believe I've done enough, whether as an adopted or biological son. Besides, I'm not refusing to support you. I've already given you your retirement fund." Luo Zhiyong finished, then smiled indifferently at Zhou Yunmei, "If someone blindly criticizes me, I accept it; it's fine to say I have a heart like a wolf and lungs like a dog."

Previously, Luo Zhiyong cared too much about these things, so he was always led by Zhou Yunmei. But this time, he didn't want such concerns anymore; he simply wanted to end his relationship with Zhou Yunmei quickly.

After dealing with Zhou Yunmei, Luo Zhiyong didn't forget Dashan's side either. He said, "Dad, I won't get involved in your matters with her. Decide for yourself. If you insist on being with her, you can go back to the countryside. I'll pay your living expenses monthly as agreed before, and my stance remains unchanged."

"Zhiyong, I'm not senile; I know who I can live with for a lifetime and who I can't." Dashan looked at Zhou Yunmei with a very cold expression and said, "Zhou Yunmei, we'll go back to the countryside to divorce tomorrow. After the divorce, we won't have any ties anymore. Everything at home is divided; there's no burden, so I'll continue my life in the city, which is fine."

After speaking, Dashan turned and left without looking back.

This time, Dashan was truly done with Zhou Yunmei.

This reality hit Zhou Yunmei, realizing she had no room for negotiation. She began to weaken for the first time, crying out to everyone, "No, no, forgive me this once. I won't do this again, I…"

Now, Zhou Yunmei's cries no longer affected Fang Pingying; she glanced around, then simply called Luo Zhiyong, "Let's go, everything's clear, there's no need to dwell."

Luo Zhiyong nodded, held Fang Pingying's hand, and was about to leave.

But Mrs. Liu, who had been watching the commotion yet shivering with fear, suddenly ran up and called out to Fang Pingying, "Pingying, wait."
