Chapter 136 I'm his ex-wife now, so our two families can't speak like one family anymore.
The public relations manager of Zhongheng Group answered the phone hoping to gain credit and get a promotion, but he was instead given a severe dressing-down.
I worked all night and didn't get any praise, I even got scolded. Damn it.
He's quitting!
However, Manager Wang admitted defeat the next second and said, "It was the Ji family that released the news of your divorce from... President Ji, so we thought it had started and seized the golden opportunity to do public relations."
Zhong Yan was stunned. "What did you say? The Ji family?"
"Manager Wang, are you sure?"
Manager Wang stammered, "They took public relations measures immediately, very quickly."
Zhong Yan said expressionlessly, "So this is also your guess, and you made a hasty decision without first verifying the source of the information?"
Manager Wang felt a chill run down his spine: "I'm sorry, it was my oversight."
Zhong Yan glanced at the contents of the notebook: "We'll settle your accounts later."
Although everything has calmed down, Zhong Yan still can't say he's happy, because Ji Tanyuan really did mention yesterday that she would announce the divorce today, taking advantage of the stock market being closed, so that she wouldn't have to apply to the exchange for a temporary suspension of trading due to the announcement of a major event.
So, if it really is her, why is she so eager to announce her divorce?
Even though he had expectations for today.
When Ji Tanyuan woke up, she saw Zhong Yan buttoning his shirt with a cold face.
The man looked down as he buttoned his cuffs. Hearing the rustling of the blankets, he turned to look at her.
Ji Tanyuan sensed his unusual mood in an instant.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhong Yan chuckled, bent down, and touched her face:
"you do not know?"
Ji Tanyuan was stunned. Something must have happened. She immediately went to check her phone to ask her assistant, but this action angered the man.
Zhong Yan stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "Why didn't you ask me?"
Ji Tanyuan frowned and twisted her wrist, trying to break free: "You're obviously angry, this isn't a state where we can have a proper discussion."
He took a deep breath, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms without saying a word: "I should call you ex-wife now. Are you really that eager to sign the divorce papers today?"
"Were you deliberately playing a trick on me last night?"
Ji Tanyuan: "What's wrong with you? I know what's going on."
She pushed him away forcefully to look at her phone and call Lu Ke.
They said everything is going smoothly and proceeding according to plan.
"So you're the one who announced my divorce?"
Lu Ke was also stunned. "Isn't it Mr. Zhong's side?"
Zhong Yan laughed speechlessly. Which bastard took advantage of the situation and announced his divorce on his behalf to annoy him?
Does he need to reveal this? Is he required to?
Zhong Yan glanced at Ji Tanyuan, who seemed unconcerned and was chatting with Lu Ke, and felt even more heartbroken.
Ji Tanyuan hung up the phone, threw it on the bed, and, remembering how he had gotten angry without even asking what happened, sneered, "Ex-husband, get out."
Zhong Yan lowered his head to answer the phone. The caller in Yanjing was telling him to go back immediately, as there was an urgent matter.
Zhong Yan pursed his lips, sighed, turned around and patted Ji Tanyuan's head, "Change your clothes, we're going to get the divorce certificate."
"Something happened at home, I have to go back immediately."
Ji Tanyuan nodded, "I'm going to wash up, but since you gave Auntie a day off, you have to cook for me, I want to eat breakfast."
She exercised all night and starved to death.
Zhong Yan asked, "Aren't you going to ask what happened?"
Ji Tanyuan: "You'll just answer if I ask you? What if it's something very important?"
Ji Tanyuan poked her head out of the bathroom, looked at him, and said with a toothbrush in her mouth, "Actually, this is not good. I am his ex-wife now, so our two families can't speak the same language."
"Besides, I chose to get a divorce because I didn't want to be bothered by the Zhong family's affairs anymore, so why should I ask?"
Zhong Yan: "Just watching the play, or not watching at all?"
Ji Tanyuan looked puzzled and said vaguely, "Then tell me."
"My older brother and sister-in-law's medical test results came back, and my sister-in-law is having difficulty getting pregnant."
With a thud, Ji Tanyuan was shocked and accidentally swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste.
She thought of Wen Yi'an, who was beautiful but had a dull personality. Although she and Wen Yi'an didn't talk to each other and didn't like each other, she always admired and felt a little embarrassed by her sister-in-law's ability to endure in this family for so long and even willingly kneel to the old lady.
"Could it be that your grandma forced your older brother to get a divorce?"
When Zhong Yan looked up at her, Ji Tanyuan knew she had guessed correctly.
"So I just happened to bring the divorce certificate back with me."
Tell the old lady to tone it down and stop getting involved.
Anyway, his older brother is leaving, so he can just take Wen Yi'an to Jincheng. Since they're in a different place, without the close pressure from the Wen and Zhong families, he can find a doctor to treat her.
Ji Tanyuan nodded, understanding Zhong Yan's meaning and quite agreeing: "Indeed, if you bring one back, they won't urge your older brother so quickly."
"You actually don't want Wen Yi'an to get a divorce?" Zhong Yan asked.
Ji Tanyuan squinted and smiled sarcastically, "Of course, leaving your family is like leaving a sea of suffering. I don't like Wen Yi'an, so naturally I don't want her to leave a sea of suffering."
"Your sister-in-law is very good at self-sacrifice, self-pity, and self-destruction, but if you ask her to divorce, she will think that you have ill intentions. So your sister-in-law does not want to divorce, and she does not realize that it has stopped raining outside the Zhong family's door."
"But right now, she must be in a lot of pain and under a lot of pressure. Pregnancy is closely related to hormones. The greater the pressure, the more difficult it may be. Wen Yi'an is in this vicious cycle, plus your family members keep causing her trouble."
At this point, Ji Tanyuan felt even more grateful that she had left the Zhong family.
Zhong Yan: "..."
He went into the kitchen and made a phone call while cooking: "Try to find out who leaked the news about my divorce yesterday."
"yes."
Ji Tanyuan wore a black dress and light makeup. When she came out of the bedroom, she saw Zhong Yan tidying up the living room. Thinking of the absurdity of last night, she couldn't bear to look at those places. Fortunately, he had given the housekeepers the day off.
The coffee was already brewed on the table. She picked it up, took a sip, sat down, and looked down at the news on her tablet. She tapped the table, somewhat curious.
"If it's not you, and it's not me, then who could it be?"
Could it be Shen Xichen? Although there was no proof, she had a feeling it might be him.
Yesterday's events were like a curse etched into Ji Tanyuan's mind, making her both wary and disgusted with Shen Xichen, and he was always the first person she thought of whenever something bad happened.
