Chapter 49: Go Home

Si Cheng gritted his teeth and said, “Tan Ming! 1 think you’re getting more and more greedy! How dare you interfere with me! Get home now!”
Upon hearing Si Cheng’s explosive words, Tan Ming’s eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly restrained her bitter emotions. The corners of her lips curled up as she replied, “I request to officially separate from you now. Only speak to me again when you’ve decided on a time to go through the divorce procedures.”
She didn’t even return home. Only then did Si Cheng feel that Tan Ming seemed to have completely escaped from his control. His face was as cold as ice. “Are you so impatient now?! You went to be with that pretty-faced boy before even getting a divorce! Are you even fit to be a mother?!”
Upon hearing this, Tan Ming only felt the irony. She could still clearly remember Si Cheng’s cold gaze when he wanted to force her to have an abortion.
Tan Ming sneered. “When you wanted me to abort them, you already lost the right to criticize me. When they were born, you were accompanying a mistress. You were no longer their father from then. Don’t worry about where I am staying tonight. You may not believe me, but I can’t tolerate my innocence being tainted by you like this!”
“I’ll explain for the last time. I don’t have a shameful relationship with Jiang Huai. I didn’t have an affair during our marriage. I’m not as dirty as you! You’re a man. Don’t dawdle. Answer me. Will you be at the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight tomorrow?”
For some reason, although Si Cheng firmly believed that Tan Ming was a promiscuous woman, he still couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard her deny it. His tone softened a little as he lowered his eyes for a moment and replied, “Yes, where are you staying? 1’11 pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Tan Ming heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Si Cheng agree. “No need. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the district at 7:30 tomorrow.”
With that, Tan Ming hung up.
Jiang Hai finally didn’t have to hold it in anymore. He immediately scolded, “This scumbag, he’s in the wrong! He still dared to shout at you. The Tan family found such a husband for you, and they still always dare to threaten and guilt you by saying they raised you!”
Li Mei interrupted impatiently, “Alright, alright. Stop talking about these troubles. Let’s settle the divorce first. After it’s done, it won’t be easy to deal with those scumbags.”
Jiang Hai immediately smiled and said, “Madam is right. Let’s deal with this problem first. An’an, Mom and Dad will accompany you tomorrow to give you support.”
Jiang Huai, who was slumped on the sofa, sat up straight and eagerly wanted to follow. “If that brat wants to make a move, I can still help.”
Tan Ming smiled and enjoyed the warmth of a family. However, she was worried that if there were too many people, Si Cheng would get too suspicious that she was playing tricks and refuse the divorce. She looked at everyone and said gently, “Dad, Mom, and Brother, don’t worry. I’ll go myself. The Si family doesn’t have the power to hold the sky. His words and actions represent the Si Corporation. In public, even if he had the guts, he would have to consider the company’s image.”
Li Mei still insisted. “What if he goes back on his word? 1 can keep an eye on him for you.”
Tan Ming held Li Mei’s arm and said coquettishly with a faint smile, “Mom, if he really goes back on his word and refuses to sign the contract, there’s nothing you can do, right? Just let me face it alone. 1’11 protect myself.”
Seeing this, Li Mei could only nod in agreement.
Si Cheng had just put down the phone when his phone rang again. When he saw that the caller ID was Tan Si, he frowned. Even without answering, he knew what the other party wanted to talk to him about.
Si Cheng was feeling vexed, so he declined the call. However, not long after, the phone rang again. Si Cheng ignored it and didn’t look at it. However, what followed was a bombardment of calls. He suppressed the urge to block the other party and finally picked it up. His tone was very impatient. “Hello.”
Tan Si could tell that Si Cheng was in a bad mood. She stopped crying and immediately acted obediently. She asked gently with concern, “Si Cheng, you don’t seem to be in a good mood. What’s wrong?”
Si Cheng frowned and pinched the space between his eyebrows to ease his frustration. “You called me so many times just to ask this?”
When Tan Si heard Si Cheng’s even worse tone, she hurriedly replied, “No, I… I have something to tell you?”
Si Cheng was even more unhappy when he heard Tan Si hemming and hawing. He raised his voice and said, “If you have something to say, say it now.. If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb me tonight!”
