Lu Feng was left crestfallen after his encounter with Tan Xi Yuan. He departed dejectedly.
He felt a sense of injustice. He didn't want to give so much money to Tan Xi Yuan, but he knew deep down that if the case went to court, she would receive more than just twenty million.
He had thought that Tan Xi Yuan, being unable to bear children, would not easily leave him. That's why he hadn't been on guard against her. He never expected her to be so stubborn.
Where did she, a person incapable of having children, find the confidence? He couldn't understand it. Allowing her to stay by his side was already a favor to her, yet she still insisted on divorce. She truly didn't know what's good for her.
Lu Feng returned to his mistress and told her parents about Tan Xi Yuan's intention to sue for divorce.
His parents were currently with the mistress, taking care of her.
The mistress, upon hearing this, felt a wave of delight in her heart.
The old lady sneered and casually said, "If she wants a divorce, let her have it. Who would want her after she leaves you? It's only because you treated her like a treasure."
Lu Feng anxiously said, "Mom, we are legally married. If she sues for divorce, I'll have to give her at least half of my assets!"
"What?" The old lady was shocked and almost jumped up. "What did you say? She wants to take away half of your assets?"
"Yes, Mom, that's why I'm so anxious," Lu Feng replied.
"She's delusional. The money is in your hands, why would you give it to her? What can she do to you?" The old lady, being illiterate, couldn't understand the situation.
"Mom! You don't understand. If she takes the case to court and the court rules in her favor, I can't refuse to give her the money. She can apply for compulsory execution, and the money will be transferred from my account to hers."
Finally, the old lady understood and asked with a frown, "So... what should we do now?"
"Mom, go to her tomorrow and talk to her nicely, convince her not to divorce me," Lu Feng suggested.
The mistress, unhappy with this, said, "If she wants a divorce, let her have it. I'm about to give birth. Do you want my child to carry the stigma of being a bastard?"
"He's the eldest son of the Lu family!" the mistress emphasized.
"Don't worry, our child will be born legitimately," Lu Feng quickly reassured her.
"How can he be born legitimately if you refuse to divorce? How can our child be born legitimately?" the mistress questioned sternly.
Lu Feng spoke gently, "I was actually thinking of discussing this with you. I plan to put the child under Xi Yuan's name. It would be better for everyone."
Upon hearing this, the mistress's eyes instantly turned red, and she exclaimed emotionally, "I disagree! Who gave you the right to take away my child? This is my child, and you have no right to take him away!"
As she said that, she tightly protected her belly, afraid that someone would take her child away.
Lu Feng hurriedly consoled her, "Don't get worked up. Listen to me explain. I really can't divorce her. If I divorce her, I'll have to give her more than twenty million. If she takes away over twenty million, the company won't be able to operate anymore. The company will be finished!"
"If there's no company, how will I support you and our son?"
"Are you willing to watch me go bankrupt?"
"Well..." Saner hadn't really thought about it that much. If Lu Feng really went bankrupt, what would be the point of being with him? She didn't want to be with a penniless guy!
Seeing a slight change in Saner's expression, Lu Feng continued persuading, "Don't worry, I won't leave you. Even though we put the child under her name, the child is still yours. In the future, when the child inherits my wealth, he will never forget you as his mother."
