Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Men understood men. Jiang Huai snorted coldly and interrupted with a smug expression, “He just feels that you’re out of his control. He’s unwilling and wants to drag you down. He must think that you can’t find a better person if you leave him. Eh! 1 didn’t expect him to think that I’m with you. Do you think he’ll feel comfortable seeing such an outstanding me?”

Jiang Hai looked at his son’s unceremonious boasting and glanced at him in disdain. Shouldn’t all of this be attributed to his excellent genes and meticulous nurturing of them?

Li Mei was not a gentle person to begin with. When she heard this, she slapped the coffee table. “We haven’t even tried to settle scores with him yet, but he still has complaints! An’an, call him now and think of a way to provoke him and force him to agree to a divorce tomorrow morning.”

Tan Ming nodded. No matter what, she should quickly contact him and see his current attitude before adapting to the situation.

Tan Ming picked up the phone and dialed the number that she had already memorized.

Knowing that the recording of the show would end that evening, Si Cheng specially returned home early from the company. Auntie Zhang had already been sent back to the old residence by Tan Ming. When Si Cheng entered, he saw that the house was pitch-black and thought that Tan Ming was still on the way.

When the phone rang, Si Cheng lowered his head and saw Tan Ming’s call. The corners of his lips curled up. “You thought of begging me when no one picked you up after you got off the boat. Weren’t you defending someone else this afternoon? Ha!”

…..

Si Cheng slowly walked to the sofa and sat down before answering the call.

Si Cheng leaned against the back of the seat with his eyes closed. His expression was lazy and casual. “Hello.”

Tan Ming was also direct. After greeting him, she started to get to the point. “I’m Tan Ming. I’ve already returned to the city after the show ended. Tomorrow is a workday, so let’s not delay our matters. If you’re not free tomorrow at eight, I can accommodate your timing.”

Si Cheng could hear the decisiveness in Tan Ming’s words. His originally good mood instantly dissipated. He pursed his lips tightly and after a moment of silence, he mocked, “You can’t wait to be with the adulterer? 1 won’t let you! Tan Ming, why are you so cheap! When you were sleeping with me, did you keep in touch with those shady people?!”

Tan Ming knew that Si Cheng didn’t trust her, but she had really once loved this man. Even though she had slowly let go of him by now, her heart still ached when she was attacked by him like this.

Tan Ming opened her mouth slightly and took a few breaths to calm herself down. “Would you believe me if I said I didn’t? If you never believe me, why bother still asking me? There’s really no need to maintain such a marriage. Don’t worry, 1 only want the child’s custody when I divorce you. I don’t need any compensation, nor do I need you to give me child support.”

Si Cheng slapped the leather sofa hard. “I also said this afternoon that I won’t get a divorce, I’ll waste your time!”

The negotiation between the two of them fell into a deadlock again. Their phones were not on speaker, but because the environment was especially quiet and Si Cheng’s voice was loud, the few people sitting on the sofa could clearly hear their conversation.

Jiang Huai thought of something and immediately took out his phone and handed it to Tan Ming.

When Tan Ming saw that the trending topic on Weibo was still about Tan Si getting pregnant out of wedlock, she understood what Jiang Huai meant. She blinked. “Si Cheng, I’m not afraid of wasting my time, but Tan Si probably can’t wait anymore, right? Are you going to let the woman and son you love become the topic of everyone’s discussion after dinner?”

When Si Cheng heard this, he chuckled. “What has Tan Si’s matter got to do with me?”

These words stunned the Jiang family. Li Mei mouthed “provoke him” to remind Tan Ming.

Tan Ming didn’t expect Si Cheng to be so ruthless. She frowned and paused for a moment. After seeing Li Mei’s hint, she deliberately continued in a disdainful tone, “Si Cheng, don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with me and can’t bear to part with me? You’re using such a lousy excuse. I can’t help but suspect that you’d rather question whether you’ve been cheated on than divorce me.”

When Si Cheng heard this, he was furious. “Are you admitting that you cheated?! Dream on! 1’11 never like a promiscuous woman like you in my life!”

Tan Ming pressed on. “I think you’re just finding an excuse to continue being with me. Since that’s the case, you have to cut ties with Tan Si completely!”

Si Cheng had a rebellious nature deep in his heart, but he was usually suppressed. After waking up from the car accident, he would subconsciously resist anyone who wanted to interfere with his decision, let alone the woman he looked down on and hated..
