Chapter 174
Lu Feng irritably reached into his pants pocket and took out a cigarette and a lighter. Just as he was about to light it, Tan Xi Yuan spoke up, "Don't smoke in my house. I hate the smell of cigarettes."
Lu Feng reluctantly put away the cigarette and lighter and pleaded softly, "Xi Yuan, can we stop arguing? Can we go back to the way things were?" Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
Tan Xi Yuan burst into laughter as if she had heard the funniest joke ever, holding her stomach and laughing uncontrollably. "Hahaha... You're really killing me. You think that's possible?"
Lu Feng tried to restrain his temper and said gently, "Why wouldn't it be possible? I promise you, once she gives birth to the child, I'll bring the child back to you for upbringing. Then the three of us can live together happily as a family. How about that?"
Tan Xi Yuan suppressed the disgust welling up inside her and asked, "And what about that woman? How are you going to deal with her?"
Lu Feng thought Tan Xi Yuan had agreed and said happily, "Dealing with that woman is simple. I'll give her some money and send her away."
"What if she refuses to leave?" Tan Xi Yuan asked again.
Pausing for a moment, Tan Xi Yuan raised her eyebrows and said, "If it goes to court, it might not be as simple as giving me twenty million. You're at fault here. I've consulted a lawyer, and I'm entitled to at least sixty percent."
Lu Feng was furious. He thought that as long as he said he would bring the child back to her, she wouldn't divorce him. But he didn't expect that she still wouldn't agree.
"Xi Yuan, didn't you ask me to find a surrogate before? Just think of it as me finding a surrogate outside. The child will still be ours. Even if you can't give birth, after divorcing me, can you find someone else to marry? Why go through all this trouble?" Lu Feng said earnestly.
Tan Xi Yuan sneered, "I asked you to find a surrogate to carry our child, not for you to go out and have an affair and bear your illegitimate child. I won't support your bastard child. You're delusional!"
Frustrated by Tan Xi Yuan's stubbornness, Lu Feng trembled with anger. "Xi Yuan, don't push me too far!"
Tan Xi Yuan found it amusing. He had betrayed their marriage, betrayed himself, and now he was accusing her? What kind of logic was that?
She looked at him seriously and said, "Lu Feng, I didn't force you into anything. I'm just taking what I deserve. We started the company together, and you can't kick me out and expect to get away with it."
