Madam Jiang was speechless, and Jiang Hao was even more furious: "Lin Qingtong! Don't think I can tolerate you forever!"
“I didn’t tell you to put up with it; you insisted that I wait until you secured the investment before we got a divorce.”
Lin Qingtong sneered: "Either we get a divorce right away, or we all stop causing trouble for each other. Otherwise, my patience is limited."
After saying that, she went straight upstairs.
She heard cursing coming from downstairs, but ignored it and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
She had previously thought that things might be able to pass more peacefully, but now, the attitude of Jiang Hao and his mother had completely chilled her heart.
These large families may appear glamorous on the surface, but in reality, each one is more despicable than the last. It's likely that every family has a few mistresses and illegitimate children.
Many of the Jiang family's illegitimate children were more outstanding than Jiang Hao, but the Jiang family patriarch was strict, and Jiang Hao's mother was from the Shen family, which prevented the illegitimate children from causing any trouble.
Jiang Hao once said that he hated those illegitimate children and mistresses. He said that most of his wife's illness was caused by his father's affairs with other women. He would often hold her hand and wipe away tears, lamenting his miserable life.
It hurts when the knife is stuck in your own body, but when it's stuck in her body, it seems like they think she should just endure it.
What a ridiculous double standard.
Lin Qingtong shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind, dried herself off, comfortably applied a face mask, and lay down on the bed. Just then, her phone suddenly vibrated.
She looked closely and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
She frowned slightly: "Hello?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.
Just as she was getting impatient and about to hang up, a low, husky voice came through: "You're getting along quite well with your husband?"
Lin Qingtong was taken aback, recognizing Shen Tinghe's voice.
She frowned immediately, and her voice unconsciously turned cold: "Why are you calling?"
"What are you nervous about? Are you afraid he'll find out?"
Shen Tinghe's voice carried a hint of mockery: "He can openly bring his pregnant mistress home, and you're so guilty just because you made a phone call?"
This person...
Lin Qingtong unconsciously clenched her fist: "How did you know?"
"I always have my way."
Shen Tinghe's voice was tinged with coldness and mockery: "I really didn't expect you to be such a magnanimous person. You can accept your husband bringing his illegitimate child and mistress into your home?"
Lin Qingtong couldn't help but grind her teeth.
Although she felt humiliated for putting up with this much, she wondered why the gigolo she had dumped could mock and threaten her!
Whether I accept it or not is none of your business.
She sneered, "Even if I hang myself on this tree, what does it have to do with you? Even if the sky falls, I'm still Mrs. Jiang. If he brings her in and I don't approve, I'll still just be a mistress and a concubine!"
"But you, you can't find a new rich woman after I dumped you? You're still so hung up on me?"
On the other end of the phone, Shen Tinghe clenched his fist, his face extremely cold and hard.
After a long pause, he took a deep breath: "Yes, I can't forget you."
"Divorce him and come back to me, and I'll forgive and forget everything. But if you're still stubborn, I guarantee you'll regret it."
Lin Qingtong was stunned for a moment, then laughed in anger.
She was indeed a little reluctant to part with Shen Tinghe, after all, it was rare to find such a high-quality bed partner as him.
But how dare he threaten her with harsh words? This pretty boy assistant thinks he can turn the world upside down?
She was already furious with Jiang Hao, and now Shen Tinghe was saying such stupid things, which made her lose her patience.
"Fine, then make me regret it."
She sneered and deliberately said, "Even if we get divorced, I'll just use the money I get to raise a bunch of puppies. I'd never want to go back to you!"
After saying that, she didn't listen to him say anything more and hung up the phone.
Shen Tinghe did not call back.
Lin Qingtong was a little afraid that he might really do something naughty, so she called another assistant to confirm that Shen Tinghe had already resigned.
She breathed a sigh of relief after her assistant confirmed that everything was in order during the handover, then pulled the covers over herself and lay down to play on her phone.
But suddenly, Jiang Hao's screams and a loud rebuke came from downstairs!
"I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful bastard! How dare you betray Tongtong!"
"If you dare let that mother and child into the Jiang family, get out of the Jiang family! I'll pretend I never had such an unfilial descendant as you!"
Lin Qingtong couldn't help but frown, recognizing the voice as that of the Jiang family patriarch.
She quickly put on some clothes and walked out of the room. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Jiang Hao being chased by the old man with his cane.
The old man's face flushed red with anger, and his chest heaved: "You bastard! What has Tongtong ever done to wrong you? If it weren't for her all these years, this family wouldn't exist!"
"Make that woman abort the child! Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"
Jiang Hao covered his swollen forehead; "Grandpa! That's your great-grandson! Haven't you always wanted to see the fourth generation of the Jiang family? This is..."
"You beast! I want to see your child with Tongtong, not that bastard born to some disreputable woman!"
The old man got even angrier and threw his cane at her: "If you ever dare to have anything to do with that woman again, get out of the Jiang family!"
Jiang Hao looked indignant, while the old man was swaying slightly, his face even more unpleasant.
Seeing this, Lin Qingtong quickly stepped forward to support him: "Grandpa, don't get too upset and harm your health. You were diagnosed with high blood pressure recently, so you can't keep having such big emotional fluctuations."
When Grandpa Jiang saw her coming, his eyes reddened.
"Tongtong, don't worry, Grandpa won't let you suffer any injustice."
