Chapter 213: Chapter 213: I Want a Divorce
"Jiang Ying got out of prison?"
For Jiang Ying, she regained her freedom, but for Meng Tian, this was no good news at all.
No wonder she had fought with Tang Jingyao, and so fiercely at that.
"What do you plan to do?" Ye Yan got out of bed and walked to the window.
"I asked for a divorce, but he didn’t agree." Meng Tian gently caressed Ye Yan’s belly which at over six months was already quite prominent, "If we divorced, I would be free."
"Tiantian, is there a possibility that Tang Jingyao doesn’t want to be with Jiang Ying anymore, and he just wants to live well with you?"
Meng Tian scoffed, "Jiang Ying is out of jail, and he personally went to pick her up. I heard that he is even throwing a welcome-back party for her tonight to celebrate her new life."
She didn’t believe Tang Jingyao could forget Jiang Ying.
On the contrary, marrying her was also a way for him to take revenge on Jiang Ying’s behalf.
Now that Jiang Ying was out, they could be together again.
She just couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t agree when she was already willing to give up her position as Mrs. Tang unconditionally.
Wasn’t letting them be together what they both wanted?
"Tiantian, tell me the truth," Ye Yan stared at her face, "Do you really want to leave Tang Jingyao?"
Meng Tian didn’t answer right away as if she was pondering.
"You hesitated; the determination you had before is gone, or perhaps, you have fallen in love with Tang Jingyao."
"I have not," Meng Tian denied vehemently, "He’s such a jerk, I would never fall for him."
"In the past, you longed for Jiang Ying to be released from prison, to ’rescue’ you from a dire situation. Since when did you stop mentioning Jiang Ying? Ask yourself, now that she is out, are you happy?"
Meng Tian’s eyes darted away, unwilling to meet Ye Yan’s gaze.
After a moment, she finally said, "I absolutely cannot accept Tang Jingyao having another family on the side, so there can only be one outcome between us, and that is divorce."
"What if he keeps refusing?"
"Then I’ll just have to create a scene, causing unrest in both the Tang and Meng families. I’d like to see if he would let their affair become public knowledge to protect Jiang Ying."
The Tang Family already didn’t accept Jiang Ying, even trying to thwart their relationship in the past.
Later, Tang Jingyao managed to use some method to get his parents’ approval.
Now that Jiang Ying was back, and Tang Jingyao was married, Tang’s parents would surely not let her disrupt their son’s marriage.
If Tang Jingyao didn’t agree to a divorce, she would make a scene at the Tang Family’s home.
"I think what matters most is Tang Jingyao’s attitude, you need to find out what he really thinks."
Ye Yan softly persuaded, "If he truly wants to reconcile with Jiang Ying, why doesn’t he agree to divorce you? And you hit him, yet he didn’t hit back. I remember once at the hot spring, you came back covered in bruises; he’s not the kind of man to show restraint towards women."
"If he dares to hit me, I’ll report him for assaulting an officer."
Ye Yan laughed at her remark, "Let’s go downstairs for breakfast first, and after eating, we’ll plan in detail."
After hearing Ye Yan’s words, Meng Tian obediently went to have breakfast.
"Are you planning on remarrying Fu Xingzhou?"
"It’s kinda funny, the two of us—one planning to remarry, the other planning to divorce, never in sync."
"Fu Xingzhou has turned over a new leaf and sincerely reformed; he deserves a chance from you."
"What about Tang Jingyao? Maybe, during his time with you, he has triggered his true feelings and genuinely wants to be with you."
Meng Tian bit into her bread, laughing self-deprecatingly, "Jiang Ying’s influence on him is deep and entrenched. The two of them are the true lovers; I’m just the person who strayed into their world by mistake. I never belonged in their world."
"Tang Jingyao is throwing a welcome party for Jiang Ying tonight?"
"Hmm." Meng Tian took the cup and sipped some milk, "Didn’t you invite Fu Xingzhou?"
"Fu Xingzhou has returned to Hong Kong, he should be back by evening."
"Jiang Ying is quite popular within their circle, both Liang Zheng and He Xuan call her sister-in-law in private. Since it was I who introduced her to that circle, on the surface, those two are respectful to me, but who knows what they actually say behind my back."
"As long as Tang Jingyao treats you well, why bother about the others?"
Meng Tian drank her milk, not saying a word.
Did Tang Jingyao treat her well?
It seemed truly faultless.
Whenever he was free, he would faithfully pick her up and drop her off for work, regardless of the weather.
Sometimes when she worked late, he would wait outside the police station until he could wait for her to finish.
She didn’t have many demands ordinarily, but he was attentive to the smallest details, always aware of her menstrual cycle and attuned to any sign of her feeling unwell.
He always remembered the details of her life more clearly than she did herself.
Similarly, his treatment of the Meng Family parents was beyond reproach. During holidays, his courtesy was impeccable, and since the two families had united through marriage, he indeed brought numerous benefits to the Meng Family business, allowing it to thrive.
In comparison to his actions, she clearly wasn’t fulfilling her role as a wife or a daughter-in-law.
Apart from knowing about his severe hypoglycemia, she hardly took his affairs to heart.
When it came to Tang’s parents, she would attend a family dinner if she had the time or decline outright if she did not, rarely even making a phone call to check in.
Being busy with work was one reason, but the main issue was that she truly didn’t believe her marriage to Tang Jingyao would last much longer.
Knowing the inevitable end, why bother wasting time to cultivate and try.
"If we really do divorce, it’s not like he has wronged me. It would just be a peaceful parting," Meng Tian thought, her mind racing, suddenly losing her appetite to eat. "I’ll head to the station first; I still have to issue two injury reports today."

Evening.
Ye Yan was feeding the goldfish in the backyard when her phone rang.
"You’re back?" She put on speakerphone and, with her right hand, sprinkled some fish food into the pond.
A few lotus flowers floated on the surface, with several koi fish hiding under their round leaves.
"I’ve already crossed the bridge," Fu Xingzhou’s voice was languid, "I brought you some pastries from Bao Li House, how will you thank me?"
Ye Yan smiled broadly, "I didn’t ask for them; you insisted on bringing them for me."
"Ungrateful little thing."
Only because she had casually mentioned the day before that she hadn’t eaten pastries from Bao Li House in a long time, the first thing he did upon returning to Hong Kong was to buy some pastries there.
"Thank you," Ye Yan’s voice was filled with laughter.
A simple thank-you would surely not satisfy the Big Grey Wolf’s desires, but he graciously accepted it nonetheless.
"Tang Jingyao is hosting dinner tonight, and you’re invited, but I think you wouldn’t like that kind of gathering..."
"Who says I don’t like it?" Ye Yan picked up the phone, "I’ve been cooped up at home for so long, I’m practically getting moldy. I want to go."
Fu Xingzhou laughed, finding her childlike tantrum charming.
"Okay, okay, I’ll take you with me. Just wait at home for me."
After feeding the fish, Ye Yan applied some simple makeup and picked out a black dress from her wardrobe.
The dress was loose-fitting, but it couldn’t conceal her slightly bulging belly.
Her baby was growing a little more every day.
