Chapter 195: I Just Take What I Get.
Chapter 195
"What do you want? This is a court, there are cameras!" Tan\'s mother warned.
"Don\'t worry, Mom. I just have something to say to Xi Yuan. Can you give us some privacy?" Lu spoke softly.
"Don\'t call me Mom. You\'re divorced, I\'m not your mother. Say what you need to say here, I won\'t leave," Tan\'s mother replied, still protecting her son from Lu.
Lu\'s eyes were fixed on Tan, but Tan deliberately turned his face away and refused to look at him.
Unable to get through to Tan\'s parents, Lu said, "Xi Yuan, please, for the sake of our many years of marriage, don\'t take so much cash with you. Can\'t you exchange it for shares in the company?"
"Ha! You\'re dreaming!" Tan\'s mother spat at Lu. "You cheated on him, and you have the nerve to say such things?"
Knowing he was being misunderstood, Lu quickly explained, "It\'s not what you think. What I meant was, can Xi Yuan not take so much cash from the company and instead exchange it for shares?"
"It\'s impossible," Tan finally looked at Lu and said.
A glimmer of despair flashed in Lu\'s eyes. "If you take so much money, the company will be finished."
"That\'s your problem, not mine!" Tan replied coldly.
Just as Lu had warned the old lady not to speak out of turn, she couldn\'t help but jump out and curse at Tan. "You whore, would you have so much money without my son? You seduced the judge and got him to give you so much money..."
Tan\'s face turned cold. "Shut up!"
Tan\'s voice was loud, and the old lady was taken aback. All the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
The old lady didn\'t expect Tan to dare to curse at her and was momentarily stunned. When she recovered and wanted to start cursing again, Tan warned her, "If you dare to speak out of turn again, I will sue you for defamation!"
Lu quickly pulled the old lady away and pleaded, "Mom, please don\'t cause any more trouble!"
The old lady glared fiercely at Tan before closing her mouth in anger.
"Do you have to do this?" Lu asked unwillingly.
Tan\'s face was expressionless as he said coldly, "I\'m just taking what is rightfully mine."
Lu stared at Tan with resentment in his eyes.
"Don\'t look at me like that. This is all your own fault. Don\'t blame others!" Tan couldn\'t help but say.
"Let\'s go. Don\'t waste your breath. Whatever the court decides, that\'s what we\'ll do," Tan\'s mother pushed Tan away from Lu.
Protected by his parents, Tan got into the car and drove away. As the figure in the rearview mirror became smaller and smaller, Tan finally couldn\'t hold back his tears. Their ten-year marriage had finally come to an end.
"Tan Xi Yuan\'s mother comforted her, \'Don\'t be sad. From now on, take good care of yourself and the child.\'
\'Mom, after completing the formalities, I want to go abroad,\' Tan Xi Yuan finally told her parents about her plan.
\'Why do you want to go abroad?\' Tan Xi Yuan\'s mother asked in surprise.
\'I want to get away from Lu Feng. I\'m afraid he will try to take the child from me,\' Tan Xi Yuan said, caressing her slightly swollen belly.
Tan Xi Yuan\'s pregnancy was already over four months, but she wore loose clothing that didn\'t reveal her belly.
\'But if you go abroad alone, who will take care of you?\' Tan Xi Yuan\'s mother worriedly asked.
\'Gu Ya is abroad. I\'ll go to seek refuge with her.\'
Tan Xi Yuan\'s mother knew Gu Ya because Tan Xi Yuan had brought her home for dinner.
Knowing that Tan Xi Yuan was going to seek refuge with Gu Ya, Tan Xi Yuan\'s mother felt relieved. \'Then, when you\'re about to give birth, your father and I will come find you.\'
\'Okay, thank you, Mom. You\'ve always been the best to me,\' Tan Xi Yuan affectionately held her mother\'s arm, leaning her head on her shoulder, and said in a spoiled manner.
\'Silly child, you\'re my daughter. If I\'m not good to you, who will be?\' Tan Xi Yuan\'s mother said kindly.
Tan Xi Yuan happily leaned against her mother\'s shoulder. It was because of the support and understanding from her parents that she had the confidence to go through with the divorce."
