1187 Drawing Clear Boundaries
“Who says you are not allowed to contact each other? Isn’t it just a change of housing? It’s a detached house with a courtyard! Isn’t this type of house even better?” Xia He asked with a smile.
Jiang Yi looked at Xia He expectantly. Could it be that Xia He was talking about a big house like what Qiao Mei had! Tan Jing had really gone to enjoy life!
However, it was one thing for Tan Jing to enjoy life, but why did she not mention anything to them? How could children not care about their parents after they lived better? This made no sense!
“Even then, there’s no reason for her not to contact us! Are you trying to guard against our family!” Jiang Yi said.
“At least she’s not that stupid…” Xia He muttered softly.
“In-law, since we’ve come to this point, I’ll tell you the truth. Tan Jing will go home in a couple of days. By then, you’ll be able to enjoy your joyful family life together,” Xu Lan said.
What was this about joyful family life! Her idea of joyful family life was Tan Jing bringing money home! What was the point of Tan Jing going home if she did not bring a single cent back! That house did not belong to Tan Jing and she had no say in it. Only real money was the most practical!
“Why is she coming home? When are you going to find a job for her? I think Qiao Mei’s popcorn business is doing quite well. Anyway, Tan Jing doesn’t have many job opportunities now and Qiao Mei has already given birth, right? Then it’s a good time for Tan Jing to help Qiao Mei! That will mean both of them will be able to make full use of their time, won’t it?” Jiang Yi said with a smile.
She did not come to check on Qiao Mei’s well-being after Qiao Mei gave birth. Now that she was downtrodden, she came to try and get money from Qiao Mei! Did she really think that the Xia family was a bank!
Xia Wen was not his usual gentle self as he said sternly to Jiang Yi, “Once Tan Jing goes back, she’ll remain there permanently. She won’t come back to our Xia family again.”
“What? What are you talking about!” Jiang Yi asked in confusion.
“It means that I want to divorce her,” Xia Wen said as he looked at Jiang Yi seriously.
He did not get scolded by Jiang Yi for saying that. On the contrary, she was very happy to hear it and looked like she wanted to celebrate!
Tan Jing and Xia Wen had been married for more than 10 years. Although she did not bear any children, she had served the Xia family for many years. She would definitely be able to get a lot of money after getting a divorce. She should at least get half of the house!
Also, Tan Jing should have a share in Qiao Mei’s big house. That house was left behind by Wu Min and should belong to the Xia family’s three children. How could Xia Zhe have it all for himself?
“Sure! Then you have to compensate our family! You have to give everything you own to our Tan Jing!” Jiang Yi said as she straightened her back.
Xia Wen took out the evidence that Xia Zhe had gathered some time ago regarding the secret collusion between Tan Jing and Cheng Gu, saying, “When Tan Jing and I get a divorce, I’ll say that it was the Xia family’s idea and has nothing to do with her. This way, it looks better for everyone. However, if you insist on behaving this way, I don’t mind sending Tan Jing to the police station.”
“Are you even human! You want to send your wife to the police station!” Jiang Yi roared.
“She harmed my family, hurt my sister-in-law and even wanted to destroy the descendants of the Xia family. Shouldn’t I divorce her? Also, pay off the debts your family owes to us as soon as possible,” Xia Wen said heartlessly.
Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Jiang Yi immediately started being melodramatic. She knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, muttering something inaudible.
Xu Lan did not have the time to waste with Jiang Yi. She called Luo Yu over and asked him to throw Jiang Yi out as far away as possible. Then, she wanted him to inform the patrol team at the entrance of the neighborhood and told them not to let Jiang Yi set foot in the neighborhood again! She never wanted to see Jiang Yi again!
“Eldest Brother, by putting it across this way, aren’t you worried that those people from the Tan family will come looking for trouble?” Xia He asked.
“I’m not worried. We have evidence of their misdeeds. Even if the issue blows up, our family won’t be at a disadvantage. It’s just that it’s hard on you and Mother to have to bear with the noise they make,” Xia Wen said apologetically.
The fact was that Xu Lan and Xia He were more concerned about Xia Wen’s feelings. If this continued on, they did not know if Xia Wen would still be able to hold on. It was best to take swift and ruthless action and not delay anything any longer. Xia Wen had finally sorted out his feelings and decided to continue working hard. They could not let this group of rotten people ruin his life!
They must end the battle quickly! They must draw clear boundaries with the Tan family!
