Zheng Wen picked up her coffee cup and took a big sip to calm herself down.

Zheng Wen was afraid that she would be angered to death if she continued, so she went straight to the point. “How much money will it take for you to leave my son?”

This reminded Tan Ming of those cliche scenes in ancient romance novels. She didn’t expect to have the chance to personally participate in this act. However, unlike the female lead in the novels determined to protect love, she and Si Cheng had nothing to protect.

Tan Ming looked at Zheng Wen and said sincerely, “I don’t need any money. Just get him to settle the procedures with me quickly. I’ve already made appointments with him more than three times.”

When Zheng Wen heard Tan Ming’s words, she sneered. “Why are you still trying to pretend? If you hadn’t secretly changed the surnames of the two children, would Si Cheng be unwilling to get the divorce?”

When Tan Ming heard this, she was unhappy. “I wasn’t doing it secretly. I did it openly. Previously, your son said that he didn’t want the two children. Now that they’re born, you guys want to snatch them again. All good things in the world can only revolve around your family, right? You guys should have some shame!”

Tan Ming rolled her eyes slightly. In the past, considering that Zheng Wen was her mother-in-law, coupled with the fact that she liked Si Cheng and her personality, she was willing to endure it. She would swallow her grievances. Now, ever since she decided to get a divorce, she slowly found herself. Moreover, she was prepared to fall out with them, so what if she was her mother-in-law?! She could say whatever she wanted. What right did she have to aggrieve herself and to curry favor with others?

Looking at how humble Tan Ming used to be in front of her and how presumptuous she was now, Zheng Wen crossed her arms in front of her chest. She pursed her lips tightly and tried her best to maintain her elegant posture. After a while, she opened her mouth and said word by word, “I’ll give you 10 million yuan. Child, we have to get married. You have to get a divorce immediately!”

At this moment, the waiter served the orange juice and placed it in front of Tan Ming.

Tan Ming watched as the other party walked away. She looked at Zheng Wen and said firmly, “Mrs. Si, I’ll make my stand clear for the last time. I don’t want money. The child’s custody must be given to me. I want a divorce faster than you. Your son is the one stalling for time now.”

Zheng Wen felt that Tan Ming was simply joking. She cried and laughed. “My son isn’t willing? Tan Ming, what do you have that my son can’t bear to part with? Only your face is alright. It’s not like there aren’t people who are better-looking than you. I think you think 10 million isn’t enough. Tell me, how much do you want to let our family off the hook?”

Tan Ming realized that it was sometimes impossible to talk to others properly. This matter also depended on the person.

Without another word, Tan Ming took out her phone from her bag and called Si Cheng.

Si Cheng was working overtime. When he saw Tan Ming’s name flashing on the phone screen, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up. He straightened his tie and took a sip of water before slowly picking up the phone to answer the call. He said calmly, “Hello.”

The moment Tan Ming picked up the call, she put it on speaker. “Yesterday, you said that you didn’t want a divorce. Does that still hold true today?”

Si Cheng immediately replied, “Of course!”

Tan Ming looked up at Zheng Wen and smiled before hanging up.

Si Cheng didn’t hear Tan Ming’s reply. He called out a few more times, but there was still no response. He looked at his phone and realized that Tan Ming had already hung up. He frowned and called back.

Tan Ming ended the call and sent a WeChat message, indicating that she was just asking. Si Cheng looked puzzled, but held back on account of not wanting to face Tan Ming’s coldness. After looking at Tan Ming’s reply again with a cold expression, he threw his phone on the table. Out of sight, out of mind.

Upholding her principle of not wasting anything, Tan Ming picked up the orange juice and finished it in one gulp. Thon, she stood up and said, “It’s your son who’s unwilling now. Instead of spending time on me, why not go back and persuade him. By the way, I’m intending to take this to court. If you don’t want to cause such a commotion, please persuade him as soon as possible.”

After saying that, Tan Ming turned around and left the cafe, leaving behind Zhong Wen with her mouth agape in shock. She was trying her best to digest the news that she was about to be sued by Tan Ming.

Tan Ming was about to return to the parking lot to get her car when she received a WeChat message from Zhao Bing asking her to return to the company.

When Tan Ming entered the office, Zhao Bing and Wang Zhen were already waiting inside.

Zhao Bing picked up her phone and gestured to Tan Ming. “You haven’t seen the news, right? Go and check the trending topics..”
