Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 178

"Mom, please listen to me. I just wanted a son, you know. It's been so many years since I married Xi Yuan, and we still don't have any children. I'm not getting any younger, and I thought about having someone else give birth to a child for me. As long as Xi Yuan is willing to accept the child, I'll bring him back and raise him. As for the other woman, I'll give her some money and ask her to leave. Xi Yuan and I are the real couple!" Lu Feng said tearfully.

"This..." Tan's Mother didn't expect Lu Feng to come up with such a plan. She looked at Tan Xi Yuan and asked, "Xi Yuan, do you know about this?"

"How could I not know about it?" Tan Xi Yuan sneered and looked at Lu Feng. "Lu Feng, don't pretend in front of my parents. You don't want to divorce me because you don't want to give me money. Don't talk about it so nicely and don't insult the word 'love'."

The old lady hurriedly said, "Xi Yuan, you can't say that to Lu Feng. It was me, this foolish old lady, who came up with this idea. Don't blame Lu Feng. It's me who went crazy wanting a grandchild. It's all my fault, and if you want to blame someone, blame me. As long as you forgive Lu Feng, I'll do anything for you. I'm even willing to kneel down and kowtow to you!"

Saying that, the old lady actually trembled and was about to kneel down to Tan Xi Yuan, but Tan's Brother quickly caught her and said, "Grandma, you can't do that. My sister can't bear it!"

Tan Xi Yuan said, "I don't want you to kneel, and I can't bear it either. There's nothing more to say. I've made up my mind to divorce. All of you, just leave and stop talking."

Upon hearing this, the old lady burst into tears, crying, "Xi Yuan, I'm begging you. Don't be angry with Lu Feng. You said you can't have children, but if you leave Lu Feng, where will you go? Which family would marry a woman who can't bear children?"

Tan's Mother didn't like what the old lady said and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter may not be able to have children, but once she leaves your family, there will be plenty of people willing to marry her. Hmph, I don't know if it's your son who has the problem or my daughter!"

The old lady coldly snorted, "Since it's someone else's child, then you should bring her back and support her. What else is there to say?"

Wiping her tears, the old lady said, "It's because I can't bear to part with Xi Yuan. How could that other woman compare to my daughter-in-law? I really had no other choice but to come up with this terrible idea. If I had known that Xi Yuan wouldn't agree, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't have dared to do this. If Xi Yuan really divorces Lu Feng, then I'll be the one to blame for breaking up their marriage. I'd rather die..."

The old lady wiped her tears, crying inconsolably.

However, Tan Xi Yuan found it amusing. In the past, the old lady had hoped for her to divorce Lu Feng, and now she claimed not to bear the thought of it. It was truly laughable.

Tan's mother was feeling a mix of emotions. As a mother-in-law, she couldn't help but entertain certain thoughts if her daughter-in-law couldn't conceive...

The realization that her own daughter couldn't have children weighed heavily on Tan's mother's heart. She turned to Tan Xi Yuan and said, "Xi Yuan, why don't we consider accepting that child?"

"It's impossible!" Tan Xi Yuan replied firmly.

"You child..." Tan's mother began, but before she could finish, Tan Xi Yuan interrupted her. "Do you think that if I accept the child, everything will be resolved?"

Pointing at Lu Feng, Tan Xi Yuan said, "He refuses to divorce me because he's afraid I'll take half of his wealth. Even if I agree to raise the child, he will never cut ties with the vixen outside!"
