Chapter 107 I'm not happy anymore, I'll skin you alive even if it kills me!

Zhong Yan squeezed her shoulders tightly.

"I said no, and I mean no."

Ji Tanyuan frowned. "You're hurting me."

She pushed Zhong Yan away with both hands, took a few steps back, and looked at him coldly, "You say you won't? Why? You won't even let me divorce you?"

Zhong Yan couldn't stand the word "divorce" right now. His already gloomy face was now even darker. He moved closer to her, "Divorce?"

He cornered her against the wall, and when Ji Tanyuan had nowhere to retreat, he gripped her waist tightly, pulling her close to him, his voice low and cold:

"You think you can leave? Let's not even talk about how Zidian Technology is at a critical moment and can't afford to delay. Jinglong Shares and Tongji High-Tech, which one of them doesn't need layers of government approval? Tan Yuan, don't talk nonsense, otherwise a warning from the China Securities Regulatory Commission alone could affect the Ji family."

He bent down and said, "You know I can do it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he was met with a resounding slap.

Zhong Yan's face was turned to the side after being slapped. He was expressionless, and his long eyelashes concealed the darkness in his eyes.

Then he turned his head and smiled, "There's one more thing, the Shen system hasn't collapsed. Now that you've left the Zhong system, aren't you just returning to your previous form?"

Ji Tanyuan looked at him coldly, "Is it good now?"

Zhong Yan saw disgust, hatred, and sarcasm in her eyes. Ji Tanyuan said, "Cooperating with your powerful and influential circle in Beijing is indeed extremely risky."

"Looking at it now, I lost my bet, didn't I? I never expected your dad to be so shameless!"

"And you, no, your whole family is shameless! You've been exploiting me like a sheep, exploiting me until my family is ruined and I'm dead, haven't you? Now that you're planning this, what was the point of the marriage in the first place? My father and I would have rather not have the Ji family at all!" Ji Tanyuan finally said, her voice trembling with tears.

Ji Tanyuan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said directly, "Let me tell you, Zhong Yan, I will never make money on my knees. If I'm unhappy, I'll skin you alive even if it kills me!"

"I don't care about keeping family scandals private. If you threaten me again, I'll make sure your whole family loses face abroad!"

“Fine,” Zhong Yan suddenly said, “You can vent your anger however you want, but you can’t get a divorce.”

Ji Tanyuan was shocked. "Are you sick?"

Zhong Yan picked up Ji Tanyuan's coat and draped it over her shoulders. "I told you, your father would come out."

He forcibly grabbed her wrist and pulled her outside without allowing her any argument.

"Zhong Yan, stop fooling around. Are you and your father putting on a show for me?"

"One is imprisoned, the other is rescued?"

Zhong Yan: "I told you, I won't let anything happen to your father, so this marriage wasn't a waste of your time."

Ji Tanyuan grabbed the door frame, and Zhong Yan stopped and turned to look at her.

Ji Tanyuan looked up. "Where did you leave Ji Ting when he went out?"

"Your dad's there."

Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips, "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to get something."

Ji Tanyuan and Zhong Yan exited the building and happened to see their mother and aunt arriving.

Sheng Wan walked up to him, somewhat worried, "Have you eaten?"

She only ate breakfast, but she still doesn't feel hungry.

But Ji Tanyuan still said, "I ate a little."

Sheng Wan glanced at Zhong Yan, who was following behind her. Zhong Yan felt a chill run down his spine. His mother-in-law had never liked him, and he was even more nervous now.

Zhong Yan bowed slightly, his tall figure hunched over, his head held high as always. "I'm sorry."

Sheng Wan smiled and ignored the red marks on his face.

"It's not your fault, it's just that your father wanted to make the most of everything. But Zhong Yan, I'll say it again: if we can't act like a family, then let's stop. It's exhausting to have Huanghuang act alongside your Zhong family and then be betrayed like this."

Zhong Yan pursed her lips. "This kind of thing won't happen again."

"I'm taking Tan Yuan to see Dad right now. Dad will be fine, and the company will be fine too. I promise."

Sheng Wan looked at Zhong Yan, opened her mouth, then looked at the silent Ji Tanyuan, and said nothing more.

"You guys discuss it and decide."

She tucked her daughter's hair behind her ear. "After you've seen your dad, go home and get a good night's sleep. You have to work tomorrow, so you need to rest well. Your aunt and I are here, so don't worry, okay?"

Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement, "I'm fine, not tired at all. Lu Ke and Nana are at the company, and the PR team is staying at the company tonight. I've already given all the instructions."

Sheng Wan nodded, "Go ahead."

Ji Tanyuan and her mother stepped aside. "Wait a minute," Sheng Wan suddenly said again.

Sheng Wan thought for a moment, then turned around, lowered her eyes, and said:

“Tell your father that I know Ji Zhihe is not his illegitimate son.”

"What?" Ji Tanyuan frowned.

Sheng Wan smiled. "I also know that he is your uncle's illegitimate son. Tell him that."

Ji Tanyuan was completely shocked. "Whose? My uncle's?"

Sheng Wan hummed in agreement. "Isn't it strange that I'm only telling you now?"

"Watching him carry this burden all these years, seeing him confused and in pain, is my only solace from the trauma I suffered in the past."

"But now, he should know the truth."

She wanted him to suffer, and she also wanted him to personally see his elder brother off on his final journey.

She understood Ji Qing; he was indulgent towards his elder brother because of a past favor, but he was also ruthless. Therefore, when discussing this matter, she shouldn't have given him time to consider it.

Saying it before wouldn't have had the same effect as now. People are most prone to impulsiveness when they're angry, and he could ruin Ji Ting's case.

Therefore, now is the best opportunity.

Ji Tanyuan stared blankly at her, and then she understood her mother's thoughts.

"What should I say?" Ji Tanyuan asked.

“Yes, you say it.” Sheng Wan looked at Ji Tanyuan.

After Ji Tanyuan left, Sheng Xia felt a little sorry for her: "Huanghuang might not be able to bear it, so why let her get involved in your adult affairs?"

Sheng Wan's hand trembled as she walked forward. "Ji Qing has been acting as a patriarchal figure, forcing Huanghuang to mentally kill his father in order to grow up. I just let Huanghuang do what he planned, so that he can taste what Huanghuang has always been going through."

"Isn't he also bound by the gratitude he owes to the Ji family? Let him grow up too."

Shengxia held her sister's trembling hand and sighed, "I'll take care of the rest. You should rest. If something happens to you again, Huanghuang really can't take it."

“My brother-in-law is too impatient. I always believe that time and experience will help her grow, and that is a lifelong benefit that benefits both her physical and mental health.”

Sheng Wan: "I'm scared."

“Her father was afraid that one day he would leave due to an accident and not have time to watch Huanghuang stand up for herself and me. He was also afraid that the real world would not know the severity of her blows and would not be able to get back up. So her father started on his own.”

"But I know that Ji Qing, that bastard, also has his own selfish motives. He must have hinted and threatened more than once to make the child support those good-for-nothings from the Ji family."

At this point, Sheng Wan sneered. She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and she would let him handle it himself.

Shengxia swallowed hard as she looked at her sister's cold smile. "Calm down, sis. You can't take any more medicine today."
