Tan Ming glanced at the waiter pushing the food cart and then at Si Cheng. She knew that Si Cheng wouldn’t be able to defeat her. He turned around and entered the private room.

...

Si Cheng followed closely behind and closed the door of the private room. He turned around and looked at Tan Ming seriously. “Tan Ming, change the child’s surname back. I can consider not getting a divorce.”

Tan Ming looked at Si Cheng as if he was crazy. “Your parents have even already chosen your next wife. You’re telling me that you don’t want a divorce. Do I look so gullible?”

Si Cheng thought of Bai Ting and felt a little annoyed. He replied, “That’s their decision. I didn’t want to come to this dinner today.”

Tan Ming sneered. “You didn’t want to come, but you still came in the end. You were the one who proposed the divorce. During this period, you even used all sorts of methods to force me to get divorced. Now, you want to be the one who says you don’t want to divorce. I don’t care what tricks you want to play. I’m definitely getting a divorce.”

When Si Cheng heard Tan Ming’s resolute words, he couldn’t help but sneer. “Tan Ming, don’t be shameless. I’ve already let go of your past. What’s there to be dissatisfied about? Don’t tell me you really think that Jiang Huai will be serious about you?”

“I’m begging you to use your underdeveloped brain to think about it. You’re a married woman with two children. Why would a big star like him like you? You’re just good-looking. There are many good-looking people in the entertainment industry. He’s just teasing you for novelty!”

…..

As the two of them were separated for a long time, and Tan Ming’s heart was already used to being hurt by Si Cheng’s words, Tan Ming’s heart was very calm to hear the other party belittle her again.

As for Si Cheng mentioning her past, she really didn’t know what there was to let go of from her past. Anyway, they were going to get a divorce, and Tan Ming didn’t want to talk about the past anymore.

Knowing that the Si family had always prioritized their own profit, Tan Ming looked at Si Cheng and mocked, “Since I’m so worthless in your eyes, why are you still clinging onto me? Wouldn’t it be better to quickly get a divorce and find another wife? Your parents will definitely find you someone with a better family background besides just having good looks.”

When Si Cheng saw the indifferent expression on Tan Ming’s face, his heart skipped a beat. He didn’t know why he came back tonight to tell her this. He only knew that he didn’t want her to misunderstand. “This is the first time I’ve met her. I don’t intend to marry her either. Tan Ming, I meant what I said just now. You don’t want the child to grow up in an incomplete family, right?”

After Si Cheng said so much, only the last sentence hit Tan Ming.

Seeing Tan Ming’s silence, the corners of Si Cheng’s lips curled up slightly. After a while, he said, “I’ll give you a day to consider.”

Tan Ming looked up at Si Cheng. The other party looked confident, as if he had already decided that he could use the child to control her. “I don’t need a day, I can tell you now that even if you knelt in front of me, I’d still insist on getting a divorce.”

Tan Ming suddenly realized that from the moment Si Cheng woke up in bed a year ago until now, his attitude towards her had always been high and mighty. Even in the initial stage of developing a relationship with her, he would inadvertently show contempt for her. Such a relationship was unequal. If she could jump out of the quagmire, why would she choose to struggle bitterly inside?

Si Cheng didn’t expect Tan Ming, who treated her child like her life, to reject his suggestion. He frowned. “Tan Ming, you still have the cheek to say that you can give up everything for the child?”

Tan Ming looked at Si Cheng and snorted. “I didn’t expect you to be so shameless now in order not to get a divorce. You always use the child as a shield. If they have a father like you, they might as well not have one!”

“I can’t be bothered to argue with you. If you continue to drag this out, I can only choose to sue you. You’re not afraid of losing face, and I’m even less afraid!”

Tan Ming didn’t want to fall out with Si Cheng and cause a scene in court, but she couldn’t stand his repeated harassment. After saying that, Tan Ming turned around and left. Si Cheng slammed the table in frustration. Thinking about it, he was still unhappy. He picked up the cushion and threw it on the ground.

Tan Ming did not know about Si Cheng’s helpless rage. When she returned to the private room, everyone had finished eating.

The group walked out of the restaurant. Jiang Huai was in charge of sending Wang Jian and Zhu Cheng back to the hotel.

Before Jiang Huai got into the car, he said to Tan Ming in a low voice, “Si Cheng has sent someone to follow me now. I’ll be staying in the office for the time being. Help me tell Mom and Dad..”
