Chapter 174 Don't Push People Too Hard
Frustrated, Lu Feng pulled out a cigarette and lighter from his pants pocket. Just as he was about to light it, Tan Xiyuan stopped him, saying, "Don't smoke in my house. I hate the smell of smoke!"
Lu Feng reluctantly put away his cigarette and lighter, and pleaded softly, "Xi Yuan, can we stop arguing? Let's just be like before, okay?"
Tan Xiyuan laughed uncontrollably, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, clutching her stomach. "Hahaha... This is hilarious! Can you believe this is possible?"
Lu Feng tried hard to control his temper and said gently, "Why not? I promise you, after she gives birth, I will bring the child back for you to raise. From then on, the three of us will live happily together. Is that okay?"
Tan Xiyuan suppressed the nausea rising in her heart and asked, "What about that woman? What are you going to do with her?"
Lu Feng thought Tan Xiyuan had agreed and said happily, "That woman is not simple. I'll just give her some money to send her away."
"What if she refuses to leave?" Tan Xiyuan asked again.
"Don't worry about that. I'll talk to her and make sure she leaves," Lu Feng assured him.
"Isn't Mom taking care of her over there? She said Mom really likes her and even said Mom wants to give her a villa. Honey, when did Mom become so rich and generous? I've been married to her for so long, and she's never been this good to me before."
Lu Feng was a little embarrassed, but he forced a smile and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. How could Mom have the money to buy her a villa? Mom is just worried about the children. You know, Mom is desperate to have a grandson. Just be understanding and don't hold it against her, okay?"
Tan Xiyuan's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted, "I'm understanding towards her, but who's understanding towards me? You treat me like this, and you expect me to understand you? Lu Feng, how dare you!"
Tan Xiyuan's sudden change in expression startled Lu Feng. He said cautiously, "Wife, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I really don't want to divorce you. Let's not get a divorce, okay?"
"No!" Tan Xiyuan refused.
She wasn't going to pretend anymore and said loudly, "Either give me twenty million and this house, or wait for the court's judgment. You decide!"
After a pause, Tan Xiyuan raised an eyebrow and said, "If the court rules, it might not be as simple as just giving me 20 million. You are the party at fault. I have consulted a lawyer, and I should get at least 60% of it."
Lu Feng was furious. He thought that as long as he said he would bring the child back for her to raise, she would not divorce him, but he did not expect that she would still refuse.
“Xi Yuan, didn’t you tell me to find a surrogate mother before? Just think of it as me finding someone else to be a surrogate mother. The child is still ours. If you can’t have children, can you find someone else to marry after the divorce? Why do you have to do this?” Lu Feng said earnestly.
Tan Xiyuan sneered, "I told you to find a surrogate mother, to have a child for both of us, not to find a lover outside and have your own child. I'm not going to raise your bastard. You wish!"
Seeing that Tan Xiyuan was unyielding, Lu Feng trembled with anger, "Xiyuan, don't push people too far!"
Tan Xiyuan found it ridiculous. He had betrayed their marriage and her, and yet he turned around and accused her. What kind of logic was that?
She looked at him and said seriously, "Lu Feng, I didn't force you to do anything. I'm just taking what I deserve. The company was started by the two of us. Don't try to kick me out after you've served your purpose. That's impossible."
