You can do the thing this way

$.get(
        url,
        {
          data : data
        },
        function (response) {
            var page_content = $('.page-content',response).get(0);
            console.log(page_content);
        }
    )

Here in the console.log you will see the inner HTML of the expected/desired portion from the response. Then you can use it as your wish
