1203 Threaten
“Sure you can, but I haven’t been feeling well recently and I’m not in a good mood. The doctor had suggested that it shouldn’t be too crowded at home, so only your second aunt-in-law is staying with me. I have even sent Xia He to Qiao Mei’s place. So if there’s nothing important, you should go back and rest well at home,” Xu Lan said tactfully.
When Tan Jing went back to her maternal home, her own family did not welcome her. At her own home, she only received the cold shoulder from Xia Wen. Now that she was at her in-laws’ house, she still had to face such looks of disdain from Xu Lan.
Where else could she go? Did she need to go to Qiao Mei’s place to be humiliated as well?
“It’s nothing much. I just want to ask… Mother, do you know that Xia Wen wants to divorce me?” Tan Jing stared at Xu Lan and asked tentatively.
“I know,” Xu Lan said honestly.
“Then… then how do you feel about that? Do you really want Xia Wen and I to get a divorce?” Tan Jing asked.
Xu Lan shrugged nonchalantly and said, “We won’t get involved in the children’s issues. It is up to the two of you to decide. The person who’s going to divorce you is my son, not me. It’s useless for you to come and look for me.”
Tan Jing and Xia Wen did not have any children nor did they have any joint a.s.sets. All these years, the amount of money which the Xia family had given to the Tan family on Tan Jing’s behalf was enough to buy five courtyard houses like the one Qiao Mei had. Xia Wen had even lent more money to the Tan family!
The matter of their divorce had nothing to do with her. Even if this matter had something to do with her, she would not take the initiative to speak up and would let Xia Wen worry about his own issue!
Back then, it was Xia Wen who was disobedient and insisted on marrying Tan Jing. If he had listened to her, none of these would have happened. It was the same for Xia He. In the end, these two disobedient children just ended up getting a divorce.
Although she did not like Qiao Mei at first, Qiao Mei was different. Her marriage was arranged by Xia Jun and Qiao Qiang, which was a fact that everyone accepted. Xu Lan was just angry that Xia Zhe got married without letting them know in advance and even gave so many betrothal gifts and the Four Big Things without his parents ever having met her.
By now, it did seem that Xia Zhe had made the right choice. She was such a nice girl, so of course he had to marry her as soon as possible! Otherwise, the Xia family’s two eldest grandchildren would be part of another family now! It would have nothing to do with their family!
“I will never divorce your son. Mother, if you want both families to live peacefully, you should persuade Xia Wen not to divorce me. I believe he will listen to you,” Tan Jing said.
“Are you threatening me? What basis do you have to threaten me? Do you only intend to stop after the Xia family exposes all those things that you have done?” Xu Lan asked as she looked at Tan Jing in disbelief.
“I’m not afraid! I will do everything to resist Xia Wen! I won’t agree to a divorce!” Tan Jing said furiously.
Just as Xu Lan was about to say something to Tan Jing, Tan Jing’s breathing suddenly quickened and she gradually lost all strength in her body and seemed to have fallen into a state of madness. She felt like there were countless little bugs in her body nibbling at her flesh and eating her internal organs, making her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to die immediately.
Xu Lan looked at Tan Jing’s abnormal behavior and was so frightened that she put down the things in her hand and hid behind the sofa. Xu Lan had never experienced such a thing before and did not know if she would agitate Tan Jing by yelling out now. All she could do was to make her way carefully to the stairs and then make a run for the study room when Tan Jing was not paying attention.
Apart from the phone in the living room downstairs, they also had another one in the study.
Xu Lan called Xia Wen in a hurry. As soon as the call connected, she said fearfully, “Son! Come back quickly! Tan Jing has gone crazy! Come back and save me!”
“Mother! What’s wrong! Are you alright!” Xia Wen said in shock.
“I’m fine, but your second aunt-in-law is still in the room downstairs! Come back quickly and bring her away! If you can’t make it back, I’m going to call the police! Come back quickly!” Xu Lan said.
Xia Wen immediately hung up the phone and rushed to Xu Lan’s house. Along the way, he was burning with anxiety. He was worried that something would happen to Tan Jing, but he was also worried that Tan Jing would hurt Xu Lan and Liu Fen. He was even more worried that Luo Yu would hurt Tan Jing in order to protect the two family elders.
He could only hope that everyone in the family would be safe and sound.
