Chapter 178 Impossible
"Mom, listen to me. All I want is a son. You know, Xi Yuan and I have been married for so many years and we still don't have a child. I'm not young anymore, so I'm thinking of having someone else give me a child. As long as Xi Yuan is willing to accept him, I'll bring him home for her to raise. As for that other woman, I'll just give her some money and make her leave. Xi Yuan and I are husband and wife!" Lu Feng said, tears streaming down his face.
"This..." Mrs. Tan hadn't expected Lu Feng to act this way. She looked at Tan Xiyuan and asked, "Xiyuan, are you aware of this?"
"How could I not know about this?" Tan Xiyuan sneered, looking at Lu Feng and saying, "Lu Feng, stop acting in front of my parents. You refuse to divorce me just because you don't want to give me money. Don't make it sound so nice, and don't insult the word 'love'."
The old lady said anxiously, "Xi Yuan, you can't say that about Lu Feng. It was me. This idea was mine, and I'm so senile. You can't blame Lu Feng. It's because I'm so desperate to have a grandson. No matter what, it's all my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me. As long as you forgive Lu Feng, I'll do anything you ask. I'd even kneel down and kowtow to you!"
As she spoke, the old lady actually tried to kneel down before Tan Xiyuan, but fortunately, Brother Tan caught her quickly. "Grandma, you mustn't do that! My sister can't accept that!"
Tan Xiyuan said, "I don't want you to kneel, and I can't bear it. There's nothing more to say. I'm getting a divorce. You can all leave now and stop talking."
Upon hearing this, the old lady burst into tears. "Xi Yuan, I'm begging you, please don't hold a grudge against Lu Feng. You said you can't have children. If you leave Lu Feng, where will you go? What family would be willing to marry a woman who can't have children?"
Hearing the old lady say this, Tan's mother was displeased and shouted, "What are you saying? My daughter may not be able to have children, but if she leaves your family, there will be plenty of men to marry her. Humph, I don't know if it's your son who has a problem, or my daughter!"
The old lady quickly said, "How could there be a problem with my son? The woman outside is pregnant, and I even took her to get checked. It's a boy!"
Mother Tan snorted coldly, "Since she's a boy, then you can just bring her back and support her. What else is there to say!"
The old lady wiped away her tears and said, "I just couldn't bear to part with Xi Yuan. How could any other woman compare to my daughter-in-law? I had no other choice but to come up with this terrible idea. If I had known Xi Yuan wouldn't agree, I wouldn't have dared to do this even if you beat me to death. If Xi Yuan really divorces Lu Feng, then I'll be the sinner who broke them up. I might as well be dead..."
The old lady wiped away her tears, crying very sadly.
Tan Xiyuan found it amusing. The old lady used to be eager for her to divorce Lu Feng, but now she said she couldn't bear to part with her. It was truly laughable.
Tan's mother felt a mix of emotions. As a mother-in-law herself, she would indeed have such thoughts if her daughter-in-law couldn't have children...
Thinking that her daughter couldn't have children, Tan's mother looked at Tan Xiyuan and said, "Xiyuan, why don't we accept that child?"
"Impossible!" Tan Xiyuan said firmly.
"You child..."
Before Tan's mother could finish speaking, Tan Xiyuan interrupted her: "Do you think it's over just because I accepted the child?"
Tan Xiyuan pointed at Lu Feng and said, "He refuses to divorce me because he's afraid I'll take half of his assets. Even if I agree to raise the child, he'll never be able to break off his relationship with that other woman!"
