1201 Even if I Die, I Remain Yours
“How have I gone too far? I was just momentarily confused! I just wanted to have someone to talk to! What did I do wrong! I even suffered such serious injuries! Is your family really going to give up on me! This is so unfair!” Tan Jing shouted.
“You caused my sister-in-law to almost have a miscarriage. If help came any later, she would have died together with the babies. Moreover, Qiao Mei’s nanny and the gardener that Cheng Gu planted in Qiao Mei’s house are both dead. Isn’t all this bad enough?” Xia Wen questioned.
“What has all this got to do with me! Am I the one who killed them! If you want to find the culprit, you should go and look for Cheng Gu! It’s his fault! What right do you have to say all this is all my fault!” Tan Jing stood up and pointed at Xia Wen as she spoke angrily.
If Tan Jing had not invited the wolf in, none of this would have happened.
Even without Tan Jing, Cheng Gu would still take advantage of every opportunity and arrange for someone to harm anyone from the Xia family. However, he definitely would not be able to do it so easily and quietly.
Xia Wen did not dare to imagine what he would need to face if Qiao Mei and the two children were not saved in time. He wondered if Xia Zhe would be able to remain strong and whether Xu Lan, Xia Mao, Xia Jun and Qiao Qiang would break down. He did not dare to think about these things and was only glad that everyone was still around.
“But does it have nothing to do with you?” Xia Wen asked calmly.
Tan Jing sneered and said, “Isn’t this all about Qiao Mei? If it’s me, who knows how your Xia family will treat me! Why are all of you so nice to Qiao Mei! She only married into the Xia family because she tricked Xia Zhe into sleeping with her! She only relies on her children to gain a foothold in the Xia family! Who does she think she is! Why are all of you protecting her like this!”
Although what Tan Jing said was the truth, the Xia family did not think that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they all felt that Qiao Mei was a wonderful person and could not wait to give her the best things in the world.
“That’s not something you should be concerned about. You should take good care of yourself. Once you’ve come to terms with it, we’ll… get a divorce,” Xia Wen said.
Tan Jing suddenly smashed the teacup on the coffee table. She would never allow Xia Wen to leave her, nor could she accept leaving the Xia family in disgrace! She could not accept it!
“Never! Let me tell you, Xia Wen! Even if I die, I want to die in the Xia family! Even if I die, I want to die as your wife! If you divorce me, I’ll kill myself! After all, if I get a divorce, I’ll be despised by everyone. Since I’ll die either way, I might as well die now!” Tan Jing roared.
Xia Wen’s expression remained unchanged. He knew that Tan Jing was just bluffing. She cherished her life very much. She was the type of person who would rush to the hospital to check on a small cut on her hand and would only feel at ease after confirming that there was no danger to her life. How could such a person commit suicide?
“You should think about your parents. They’ve been looking for you recently. Once you think it through, go back and visit them. Think about the divorce carefully. I’m discussing it with you now and I’m giving you a week. If you still can’t come to terms with it in a week, then I’ll… I’ll send all the evidence I have about you and Cheng Gu to the police station. I’ll also send all the gambling debts and evidence of prostitution relating to your brothers,” Xia Wen said.
Tan Jing collapsed onto the sofa. Seeing that she did not cry or throw a tantrum, Xia Wen let her be. He did not intend to stay here tonight. This was a place he prepared for Tan Jing to stay. He decided to go back to the workplace unit and make do with the sofa there.
Tan Jing did not sleep the entire night and just sat there in a daze. After a night of careful consideration, she decided to divorce Xia Wen. However, she had her own conditions relating to the divorce. She would not rest until she pulled a layer of skin off the Xia family!
If Qiao Mei’s accident had something to do with her, then how could the Xia family not be responsible for all the hardships she had suffered? If not for the fact that the Xia family became enemies with Cheng Gu, she would not have become like this.
Tan Jing quietly hailed a car to go to Xu Lan’s house early in the morning without telling Xia Wen. Due to Tan Jing’s injuries and her drug addiction which flared up from time to time, she was now only skin and bones and looked as if she could be blown over by a gust of wind. Therefore, when Luo Yu saw Tan Jing, he was shocked. He thought that he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight!
“You… what are you doing here?” Luo Yu looked at Tan Jing and asked hesitantly.
