Chapter 37
Don’t Want a Divorce
Only then did Tan Ming stop. When she turned around and saw Si Cheng, she rolled her eyes angrily and scolded in a low voice, “Are you crazy? Why did you sneak attack me! Don’t you have a mouth? Don’t you know how to use it?!”
Si Cheng was still not used to the change in Tan Ming’s attitude. He looked at her in disappointment and said, “Tan Ming, why did you become like this? Your temper explodes at the drop of a hat, and your words are unforgiving and vicious!”
Tan Ming frowned and placed her hands on her hips. “You suddenly lost contact for so long and suddenly appeared just to say that I’ve become irritable? I don’t have that much time to waste on you. I’ll finish filming today and meet you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight o’clock tomorrow morning to settle the procedures!”
Seeing that Tan Ming was anxious to cut ties with him, the anger that Si Cheng had suppressed earlier flared up again. He said with certainty, “Tan Ming, you’re in such a hurry to be with your lover. Let me tell you, there’s no way!”
Tan Ming was confused. “What lover? You were the one who wanted a divorce. I’m doing as you wish! Don’t try to pin the blame on me!”
Si Cheng sneered and said sarcastically, “It’s impossible for you not to win an Oscar with your acting skills. You’re really good at pretending! Why weren’t the two children’s surnames Si or Tan? Why did they go to the Jiang family?! Did you cheat on me with Jiang Huai long ago?! Tan Si is right. You’re really cheap and fickle!”
Although Tan Ming no longer had any illusions about Si Cheng, he was still a man she had once loved deeply. Hearing the other party slander her like this, Tan Ming’s eyes turned red. “You’re always like this. I’ve sacrificed so much for you, but it can’t even compare to a word from an outsider! You’ve never believed me!”
Si Cheng grabbed Tan Ming’s arm with both hands and glared at her as he shouted, “How can I believe you? Even the child has taken another person’s surname. Do you want me to do a DNA test and throw the report in your face so that you’ll stop quibbling?!”
Tan Ming blinked and forced back her tears. She didn’t want to show any weakness in front of this man. “Stop arguing. I’m really tired. Anyway, you don’t believe me, so hurry up and get a divorce. I’ll disappear from you with the two children. You can marry whoever you want and have children with whoever you want.”
The small forest was not far from the logistics area. Some staff had already noticed the commotion here.
Si Cheng sneered. “You want to dump me and get together now? Dream on! You two are an adulterous couple, so I have to waste your time. I don’t want a divorce anymore!”
Ning Gang saw a staff member coming over and stopped him with a smile. “They’re family. They’re discussing some private matters.”
The staff member looked at Ning Gang suspiciously. Seeing that Ning Gang was a hunk of muscle, he did not say anything and turned to leave.
The argument in the small forest became louder and louder. Ning Gang leaned forward anxiously. “Keep your voices down. More and more people are looking over.”
Jiang Huai was so hot that he couldn’t fall asleep. He got up and planned to ask Li Mei for some plum blossom soup to cool down. When he walked to the logistics area and heard everyone discussing, he went forward to ask about the commotion and immediately ran in the direction the other party pointed.
When he saw the two men surrounding Tan Ming, he went forward and punched Si Cheng. Si Cheng was caught off guard and was successfully ambushed. His footsteps were unstable as he bumped into a tree trunk at the side.
Although Ning Gang was all brawn, he still had brains. In such a crowded place, it was best not to let his boss become a topic of conversation. Therefore, he immediately stood between the two of them to prevent the conflict from worsening.
“Everyone, calm down. Do you want to be on the news?! With a headline about two men fighting for a woman or a love affair?”
Be it entrepreneurs or celebrities, they were all afraid of such scandals. Jiang Huai didn’t care, but he couldn’t let his sister’s reputation be damaged.
Especially now that it was not convenient for the identities of both parties to be made public, he knew too well the methods used by the entertainment media to distort facts.
At this moment, the two men were panting as they looked at each other. Tan Ming frowned and said in a low voice, “Whether you believe it or not, I can tell you that I didn’t betray you. I have my own reasons for changing the surnames of the two children. Anyway, you have your own son. Why snatch them from me? I’ve taken care of you for so many years. Even if I don’t get any credit, I’ve worked hard.”
“Looking back at our past, can’t you let our marriage end on good terms?”
