Chapter 156 - 156 – The Woman Who Won’t Submit to Him_1
“Why would I want to have a child? Sooner or later, you’ll marry Yan Yue. She certainly wouldn’t want any other woman to bear your child. If we had a child, wouldn’t you be worried about hurting her feelings?”
The man averted his gaze, his thin lips pursing slightly as though wary of Yan Yue’s reaction.
However, his reply was firm. “That’s not your concern. All you need to know is that I won’t abandon my child.”
Jian Yufei responded with a scornful, chilly smirk, as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke.
Ruan Tianling was slightly irritated. “What is with that expression!”
Did she think he was the type who said one thing but meant another?
Jian Yufei lowered her eyes, her expression regaining its usual indifference. She felt like mocking his hypocrisy, thinking he was laughable.
If he really cared about his child, he wouldn’t have treated her the way he did in her previous life.
Knowing that she was pregnant, he had still brought Yan Yue home to humiliate her. Didn’t he consider the consequences of his actions?
Of course, he hadn’t. And the consequences had indeed been severe.
She ended up dead, along with the unborn child.
Thinking about this, a trace of ice-cold determination flashed in Jian Yufei’s eyes.
She bit her lip, glared coldly at him, and said word by word, “Ruan Tianling, I’m giving you one more month. If you still refuse to divorce me, I’ll file for divorce in court.”
Applying for divorce was equivalent to tearing off their pretences and aiming a severe blow at the Ruan Family’s honor.
She only harbored hatred for him. Originally, she had planned to end their marriage amicably to save face for both sides. The thought of filing for divorce through the court had just crossed her mind, nothing more.
Her grandfather was fond of her, and so was her grandmother.
Despite her mother-in-law’s disdain for her, she hadn’t been mistreated. Her father-in-law, Ruan Mingtao, was liberal-minded and accepted her as his daughter-in-law wholeheartedly.
Aside from Ruan Tianling, she didn’t want to hurt any member of the Ruan Family.
If her patience was met with more harm, she wouldn’t hold back any longer. Her greatest desire in life was to leave him.
If she couldn’t leave him, she’d rather not have been reborn.
Upon hearing her words, Ruan Tianling froze for a moment before his eyes narrowed into a piercing glare.
He never thought her disdain for him would be equivalent to that of trash. Had she grown to despise him to such an extent?
He had always been the apple of everyone’s eye, when had he ever endured such humiliation?
Even if he didn’t have the same intense dislike for her as before, and saw her with fresh eyes, so what?
If she contemned him, he certainly wouldn’t degrade himself by groveling to her.
Even if he fell in love with her, he would never demean himself by courting rejection from her.
In his world, there were only two types of people.
Those who bowed to him and those abandoned by him.
There was never a person whom he served. Therefore, they would indeed get a divorce! Not for any other reason, but to discard this woman who refused to submit to him!
Ruan Tianling sneered coldly, “Rest assured, you won’t have to wait a month. I’ll get you out of the Ruan Family’s house right away!”
With that, he turned and stormed off, leaving behind only a definitive sense of callousness.
Jian Yufei furrowed her brow. Was there a need for such anger?
But it seemed with his attitude, he was ready to proceed with the divorce.
Good, she could be rid of him in less than a month. She could live a life without him forever.
With this pleasant thought, Jian Yufei felt inspired to start job hunting once again.
