Lu Feng irritably reached into his pants pocket and took out a cigarette and a lighter. Just as he was about to light it, Tan Xi Yuan spoke up, "Don't smoke in my house. I hate the sll of cigarettes."
Lu Feng reluctantly put away the cigarette and lighter and pleaded softly, "Xi Yuan, can we stop arguing? Can we go back to the way things were?"
Tan Xi Yuan burst into laughter as if she had heard the funniest joke ever, holding her stomach and laughing uncontrollably. "Hahaha... You're really killing . You think that's possible?"
Lu Feng tried to restrain his temper and said gently, "Why wouldn't it be possible? I promise you, once she gives birth to the child, I'll bring the child back to you for upbringing. Then the three of us can live together happily as a family. How about that?"
Tan Xi Yuan suppressed the disgust welling up inside her and asked, "And what about that woman? How are you going to deal with her?"
Lu Feng thought Tan Xi Yuan had agreed and said happily, "Dealing with that woman is simple. I'll give her so money and send her away."
"What if she refuses to leave?" Tan Xi Yuan asked again.
"You don't have to worry about that. I'll talk to her and make sure she leaves," Lu Feng assured her.
"Isn't Mom over there taking care of her now? She said Mom likes her a lot and even wants to give her a villa. Husband, when did Mom beco so rich and generous? I've been married to you for so long, but I've never seen her treat so well," Tan Xi Yuan said with a hint of anger on her face.
Lu Feng felt a bit embarrassed and forced a smile, saying, "Don't listen to her nonsense. How could Mom have the money to buy her a villa? Mom just pities the child, you know that. Mom is desperate to hold her grandchild. Can't you understand her a little bit? Don't argue with her so much, okay?"
Tan Xi Yuan's face suddenly changed, and she scolded, "Understand her? Who will understand ? You treat like this, and you still want to understand you all? Lu Feng, you have so nerve!"
Tan Xi Yuan's sudden change of attitude startled Lu Feng, and he cautiously said, "Darling, I'm sorry. Please forgive . I really don't want to divorce you. Can't we just not get divorced?"
"No," Tan Xi Yuan refused.
She didn't want to pretend anymore and said loudly, "Either give twenty million and this house, or wait for the court's judgnt. You figure it out!"
Pausing for a mont, Tan Xi Yuan raised her eyebrows and said, "If it goes to court, it might not be as simple as giving twenty million. You're at fault here. I've consulted a lawyer, and I'm entitled to at least sixty percent."
Lu Feng was furious. He thought that as long as he said he would bring the child back to her, she wouldn't divorce him. But he didn't expect that she still wouldn't agree.
"Xi Yuan, didn't you ask to find a surrogate before? Just think of it as finding a surrogate outside. The child will still be ours. Even if you can't give birth, after divorcing , can you find soone else to marry? Why go through all this trouble?" Lu Feng said earnestly.
Tan Xi Yuan sneered, "I asked you to find a surrogate to carry our child, not for you to go out and have an affair and bear your illegitimate child. I won't support your bastard child. You're delusional!"
Frustrated by Tan Xi Yuan's stubbornness, Lu Feng trembled with anger. "Xi Yuan, don't push too far!"
Tan Xi Yuan found it amusing. He had betrayed their marriage, betrayed himself, and now he was accusing her? What kind of logic was that?
She looked at him seriously and said, "Lu Feng, I didn't force you into anything. I'm just taking what I deserve. We started the company together, and you can't kick out and expect to get away with it."
