The old lady was left speechless and stared angrily.
"Mom, it's alright," Lu Feng quickly reassured, "As long as I don't make any mistakes, this guarantee is just a piece of paper."
"That's right!" Tan's father nodded approvingly, "It's best that you think that way."
The old lady was both anxious and furious. How could her son not make any mistakes? They had even promised to buy a house for their third child. If Tan Xi Yuan found out, wouldn't her son be kicked out of the house?
The old lady was overwhelmed with anger and anxiety, unable to catch her breath, and fainted.
"Mom!" Lu Feng hurriedly rushed forward to support the tottering old lady, "Mom, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"
The old lady's eyes were tightly shut, her breath as thin as a strand of silk.
Lu Feng panicked and immediately carried the old lady and ran towards the door.
Tan Xi Yuan felt resentful in his heart and didn't follow.
Although their daughter didn't go, Tan's father and Tan's mother couldn't help but follow. Tan's mother glanced at her daughter, sighed helplessly, and let her son and daughter-in-law stay to accompany Tan Xi Yuan. She and her husband went to the hospital with their son-in-law.
After everyone left, Tan's sister-in-law, Jiang Qingqing, walked over to comfort Tan Xi Yuan, "Xi Yuan, don't be angry anymore. Mom and Dad are doing it for your own good. Since Lu Feng is willing to admit his mistake, give him a chance."
Tan's brother, Tan Chengzhe, also advised, "Just forgive Lu Feng this time. With the guarantee, if he dares to cheat again, you can sue him and kick him out!"
Tan Xi Yuan sat down on the sofa, feeling wronged and wiping away her tears, "Brother, you don't understand anything. Lu Feng already has a child outside. Do you think he can cut ties with the other woman cleanly?"
"Then give him a chance. If he can't cut ties cleanly, you have the guarantee, right? Make him leave the house," Tan Chengzhe patiently said.
"But I don't want it to be this way. I've already filed for divorce in court and I'm waiting for the verdict. And now you're doing all this."
"Xi Yuan, I understand how you feel, but you're still young. What will you do if you get divorced?" Jiang Qingqing said worriedly.
"What if I get divorced? Can't I live on my own? Even if I don't have a man, I can still live well!" Tan Xi Yuan said defiantly.
Jiang Qingqing helplessly looked at Tan Chengzhe.
Seeing his sister speak to his wife like this, Tan Chengzhe got angry, "You're all grown-ups, don't you know what's right and wrong? Look at your own situation, don't you have any faults? If it weren't for your inability to have children, why would Lu Feng think of finding someone else?"
"Who said I can't have children?" Tan Xi Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and said, "I've been pregnant for over three months, but I didn't tell Lu Feng because he already has a child outside. That's why I want to divorce him!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Chengzhe and Jiang Qingqing were shocked. They exchanged a glance, and Tan Chengzhe asked in confusion, "Since you already have a child, why do you want a divorce? What about the child? Are you suggesting that the child should grow up without a father? That wouldn't be fair to the child."
Jiang Qingqing nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, once you have a child, you shouldn't get a divorce."
Tan Xi Yuan retorted, "What do I have to say for you to understand? If Lu Feng didn't have a child outside, I could forgive him and start afresh. However, he already has a child outside. You should know that illegitimate children also have inheritance rights. If I don't divorce him, am I supposed to help him raise his lover and illegitimate child? I'd rather get a divorce and get half of the wealth. I have my own money, so why should I be afraid of not being able to support the child? As long as I treat the child well, what difference does it make if there's no father? Some fathers are as good as nonexistent, so it's better to have none at all!"
