Tan Ming sat up straight and looked at Li Mei with a blissful smile. “Yes, yes! I’m very sure that I don’t want Si Cheng to be part of my future life. The two babies and I have you, Dad, and three brothers to accompany us. So you don’t have to worry that I’ll be swayed.”
When Li Mei heard Tan Ming’s trusting words, she felt comforted. Although her daughter had been separated from them for 23 years, after they reunited, she had never felt that there was a time barrier between the two of them. It was as if they had always lived together.
Tan Ming called Jiang Hai out of the kitchen again. She looked at the two of them and said seriously, “Dad, Mom, you said just now that Si Cheng might feel regretful. From the looks of it, it’s impossible to wait for a peaceful divorce with him. If there’s really no other way, I’ll bring this to court.”
Jiang Hai nodded in agreement. “I agree completely! It’s just that you have to live separately for at least two years before we can bring this to court. It’ll take a long time.”
Most people weren’t well-versed in marriage laws. Everyone wanted to get married and stay married for the rest of their lives. Tan Ming thought for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t we ask Eldest Brother and see if there’s any way to speed up the process?”
Li Mei quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes! Our eldest son’s forte. Contact him immediately after dinner. It’s time for him to contribute!”
After the video call at night, the family discussed their countermeasures. Li Mei was finally relieved. It was still the same thing. As long as they did not get the divorce certificate, she would not be at ease.
Tan Si did not receive a reply from Si Cheng until midnight. However, she was not in a hurry. She contacted the private detective and anonymously sent the photos to those entertainment media platforms and private messaged marketing accounts, intending to add fuel to the fire.
Actually, other than the Jiang family, Zheng Wen and Si Ming were also worried.
The next morning, Tan Ming received a call from Zheng Wen asking to meet. She was puzzled about what the mother and son were doing. Why were they pestering her?
Tan Ming originally didn’t want to interact with the Si family anymore, but when she thought about how Zheng Wen was in a hurry to introduce a partner to Si Cheng now, she definitely hoped that she and Si Cheng would get a divorce as soon as possible. They had the same goal, so they could meet and chat.
The venue was a cafe beside the company. Tan Ming took a detour after work at noon.
Zheng Wen was already waiting inside. Tan Ming walked over and sat opposite Zheng Wen. She greeted her politely, “Hello.”
Zheng Wen took off her sunglasses and placed them on the table. She sized Tan Ming up and suddenly realized that every time she met Tan Ming, she seemed to change a little and become more and more dazzling.
Seeing the current Tan Ming, Zheng Wen could no longer associate the person in front of her with the tanned and thin figure who used to wear sportswear, tie a ponytail, and only knew how to run around to massage Si Cheng’s body.
Tan Ming casually ordered a glass of fruit juice. When she saw Zheng Wen staring at her, she interrupted, “Mrs. Si asked me out today. Don’t tell me you’re just here to see my face?”
Zheng Wen retracted her gaze. Regardless of whether Tan Ming had become better or worse than before, her family background was still a weakness. She had made up her mind that she would not let such a person take the position of the future Madam of the Si family.
Zheng Wen took a sip of coffee unhurriedly. She looked at the coffee cup and said casually, “Do you know why I came to look for you today?”
Tan Ming looked at Zheng Wen’s attitude and suddenly remembered that when she lived in the old residence in the past, Zheng Wen always liked to talk to her so arrogantly. It had been so long, but she had not changed at all.
The corners of Tan Ming’s lips curled up slightly. Her voice did not fluctuate at all. “I really don’t know.”
Zheng Wen looked up at Tan Ming’s expressionless face. She no longer had the respect and fear she had when facing her in the past. She said unhappily, “In the past, you learned some rules in the old residence. After moving out for a year, you’ve returned to your old self. Look at you now. You don’t even have the basic etiquette to respect your elders! You truly were raised by a poor family.”
Tan Ming sneered. She looked at Zheng Wen and retorted, “In the past, no one cared. That’s why I was bullied by snobbish people like you. It’s different now. Someone taught me, so now I know that respect should be reserved for people who actually respect others. Not everyone deserves respect.”
Zheng Wen was so angry that she pointed at Tan Ming and scolded, “What a glib tongue! I’m going to question Tan Xiang and Wang Li about what they taught you. How dare you disobey your elders!”
Tan Ming smiled calmly and raised her head slightly. She spat out two words with her infuriating little mouth. “Go ahead..”
