Chapter 22
"Humph," Shu Tian sneered. "Just come to the point, you called me for what?"
Tang Zechen didn't answer it directly. "Where are you now?"
"Did you let your mother bother my parents again, didn't you?"
Tang Zechen was stunned. "What did you say?"
Shu Tian didn't believe his words at all. "Tang Zechen, I had a secret crush on you since we were at school. I had been in pursuit of your love for two years and we just got married for a year. Even if you don't love me, this is our business. Why would you bother my family? Do you have to use such despicable way to make me regret loving you?"
What they possessed in the past had already faded away, leaving nothing but regret. How ridiculous it was! The man she once loved became her enemy.
Tang Zechen thought that no matter what Shu Tian said, he would not care, but he still felt a little brokenhearted when he heard she said " regret loving you". Did she really regret her past love for him?
He thought Shu Tian was the one who loved him the most. No matter what he did, she would support him and forgive him without a word.
He had always been confident of his control to her, but Shu Tian, who was supposed to obey him, said she felt regretful?
He wouldn't allow that to happen!
Tang Zechen said angrily. " I don't care if you regret it or not. Once you marry me, don't ever think about divorcing!"
"What about Jiang Mengyao? This polygamy isn't allowed in our society. I warn you that if I' Il sue you for bigamy, which will directly send you to jail."
"You..." Tang Zechen was about to say something when the phone was hung up. He stood up and kicked the sofa angrily.
Thinking of her words, Tang Zechen directly called his mother, Liu Lifang. "Mom, did you bother Shu Tian's parents again?"
Liu Lifang admitted without hesitation. "Yes, it's already inappropriate that she never came home. Although Mengyao is with you now, Shu Tian is still our daughter-in-law. For our family's reputation ..." "Mom!" Tang Zechen interrupted her. " I've told you that it's none of your business!"
In her mind, he had never argued with her about Shu Tian, so Liu Lifang was stunned by his words. "I' m doing this for you!"
"For me? Shu Tian wants to divorce me even more because of you. What do you say if we really get a divorce, huh?" After saying that, Tang Zechen hung up the phone and threw it on the tea table.
She wanted a divorce?
Somehow, the things that had been so far away in his life gradually became true, and the people he thought that would never leave him were getting away from him. This feeling made Tang Zechen feel strange and uncomfortable, as if everything was out of control in an instant.
"Zechen, why are you standing here?" Jiang Mengyao just came in. Ever since Shu Tian left, she was with Tang Zechen all the time, regarding herself as his real wife.
Tang Zechen was annoyed but had no place to relieve his feeling, so when Jiang Mengyao came over, he grabbed her and pressed her against the sofa. He was so fierce that made her feel pain in the arms. Jiang Mengyao knew that he was in a bad mood, so she did not dare to say anything more but tried her best to obey him.
Shu Tian picked up her good mood and left the neighborhood unit. The car that brought her there was still waiting by the roadside.
She got into the car with watery eyes. It was still early, and Fu Qingtong also wanted to come out to play, so they had lunch together at a hotpot restaurant.
When Shu Tian arrived at the place, she let the driver leave and walked in all alone. She did not book a private room. In the lobby, she saw Fu Qingtong, who was sitting there in a bright and dazzling red knitted dress, from a distance.
"You don't have to work today?" Shu Tian walked over and said.
Fu Qingtong had already reserved a table. She smiled at her. "I'm not in a good mood today, so I didn't go to work."
"Absenteeism, that's not like you." Shu Tian remembered that although Fu Qingtong sometimes was careless, she knew when to be rigorous and responsible. She studied law, so she did things according to the rules and regulations.
"My crappy department and my damn job? I'm telling you that even I absent for a month, no one will notice it." Fu Qingtong rolled her eyes. "I came to complain to you today!"
It was only then that Shu Tian realized that Fu Qingtong had never been as happy as she had said. Although she worked in her family company and her job was related to law, she couldn't gain anything substantive and real. Now that her father had handed over the last work to others, she had no real power.
In her words, she was just sitting around and waiting to die.
"I almost forgot the basic legal provisions now." Fu Qingtong laughed at herself.
"So what's your plan now, continue to do it or change jobs?"
"Of course I will change my job. This stupid job has made me a fool. I sit there like an idler every day. I don't know how my colleagues would think about me." Just thinking about it made her angry." Lately I'll resign. After that I think I'll be unemployed for a while to make plans for my future."
"Alright, you don't have any pressure anyway. Take your time to think about it."
Fu Qingtong raised her eyebrows and glanced at her. "Why do I feel that you're weird today?"
Shu Tian was stunned with her chopsticks pausing in the air. She laughed and shook her head. "You really know me. It seems that I can't hide anything from you."
"Of course, I know you. I'm perspicacious and beautiful." Fu Qingtong smiled perfunctorily and then stopped. "What's wrong? Did Tang Zechen and Jiang Mengyao bothered you or did boss li piss you off?" "I told my mother about the divorce thing."
Fu Qingtong was shocked this time and gave a thumbs-up for her friend." You're quite bold, aren't you?"
Shu Tian smiled bitterly. It's not what she thought. She was forced to do that.
"But that's good too. Instead of worrying about being bullied by the Tang family, it's better for you to say it. Your parents will find out it sooner or later." Seeing that Shu Tian was upset, Fu Qingtong filled the glass with beer and said. "Come on, let's binge today. Let's get drunk!"
After they left the hotpot restaurant, it was already two in the afternoon. They were all drunk, staggering their steps and carrying each other.
Shu Tian didn't plan to drink too much, but she couldn't resist Fu Qingtong's persuasion. Besides, she was indeed in a bad mood, so she really drank a lot.
Fu Qingtong was obviously not allowed to drive, so was Shu Tian. There happened to be a ktv next to that hot pot restaurant. When Fu Qingtong saw it, she just rushed in directly and it was too late for Shu Tian to stop her.
Hence, they went from hotpot restaurant to ktv. Fu Qingtong booked the whole night in there and bought two more boxes of beer and moved them into their room.
Shu Tian drank two or three more bottles of wine, which made her clouded in mind. Under the influence of alcohol, the two of them were so close mentally.
They were just hanging out in there till 8 pm when Li Han kept calling Shu Tian. She could not hear the ring in the noisy room. By the time she saw it, there were already 15 missed calls.
Before she could return the call, Li Han called her again. Shu Tian picked up the phone and hiccupped before speaking. "Hello?"
Li Han frowned when he heard her voice. "Did you drink?"
Shu Tian woke up a little when she heard his sullen voice. Forgetting that they were on the phone, she gestured with her little finger. "Just a little."
"Really?" Li Han sneered. "I don't think so."
Then he added. "Send me your address, I'm picking you up."
