Chapter 158 Why is divorce impossible?
After leaving the monitoring room, An Ling glanced at Yan Yu somewhat guiltily.
"Maybe I shouldn't go and rest. I feel like my feet don't hurt as much now. Maybe it's because I stood for too long. Walking around now actually makes them feel better."
“Okay,” Yan Yu couldn’t help but smile. “Then I’ll go back to Uncle An and Aunt Pei’s place with you, and then I’ll find you a chair.”
"Mmm." An Ling gave a perfunctory reply and limped forward, leaving Yan Yu behind.
Yan Yu looked helplessly at An Ling's back. He wanted to remind her that she was acting the wrong way, but he didn't dare to say it. He could only walk up quickly and dutifully continue to act as a human crutch.
……
Yin Siyi didn't dare let too many people know about this. She only trusted her closest people, so she found a lounge and only asked Cheng Wei to call Cheng Jian and Jiang Shuting to discuss what to do next.
Unexpectedly, after hearing the whole story, Cheng Jian angrily said:
"That's impossible! Mom, you must be mistaken. How could Dad do such a thing? Who told you that?"
Yin Siyi was stunned for a moment after being yelled at by her son, but then she thought that Cheng Jian might be just like her, unable to accept reality for the time being.
“It wasn’t someone who said it, it was seen on the surveillance footage. Your father went into Cao Ling’s room and is upstairs now. Xiao Wei and I both saw it.”
"There must be some misunderstanding. Maybe Auntie suddenly has something important to discuss with Dad. Mom, don't make such a fuss. The banquet is still going on, and there are so many important guests. You can ask Dad after the banquet is over."
There was a clear hint of resentment in Cheng Jian's tone.
"Why bother calling Shu Ting over as well? It would be bad if Shu Ting and the Jiang family misunderstood something."
After saying this, Cheng Jian pulled Yin Siyi aside and whispered:
"Mom, what are you doing? Can't we talk about this at home? If such a huge scandal gets out, our Cheng family will lose all face. Dad must have his reasons, otherwise he wouldn't have acted so recklessly in a situation like today."
Now even Yin Siyi can no longer deceive herself by saying that Cheng Jian is too shocked to accept reality.
He clearly believed his own words, but thought Yin Siyi was making a mountain out of a molehill. He believed that tonight's banquet was more important than the fact that she had been deceived and betrayed by Cheng Zhuoxing.
Upon learning of his father's infidelity, his first reaction was not to feel sorry for his mother or angry for her, but rather to blame his mother for telling the truth and making excuses for his father.
Yin Siyi was already devastated by her husband's infidelity, and now she has been betrayed by her own son. She is in a daze.
"Cheng Jian, what are you saying!" Cheng Wei was no less shocked than Yin Siyi. She thought her brother would be just as angry as she was, but she didn't expect him to blame their mother instead.
Of course, the An family was equally shocked. They were listening to An Ling's broadcast and were also angered by Cheng Jian's reaction.
This is a perfect example of what it means to raise an ungrateful child.
Cheng Jian felt that his father had made a mistake that many men make, but the person he cheated on with was particularly outrageous. He thought his father's mistake was that he had to cheat on his father at his engagement party, and then so carelessly get caught.
[But he didn't dare say it directly, after all, Sister Shuting was still around, so he had to put on an act.]
But even if he tries to act again, this is the best he can do.
Even if someone is acting, their true nature will be revealed in every aspect. After all, when they don't even realize there's anything wrong with themselves, they won't try to cover it up.
So when faced with Cheng Wei's questioning, Cheng Jian only felt that she was being immature and clueless.
"Am I wrong?"
"Do you know what kind of occasion this is? Today is an important day for me and Shuting. Look, besides the Jiang family, there are also the An family, the Yan family, and the Gu family. It can be said that all the prominent people in Haicheng are here. If anything goes wrong, it will not only be the Cheng family that loses face, but also the Jiang family."
"We can talk things out among ourselves at home behind closed doors. Why did you have to call me and Shuting over here now?"
After saying that, he turned back to Yin Siyi and said:
"Mom, it's one thing for Xiaowei to be ignorant, but why are you going along with her? Please listen to me, let's pretend this never happened, and ask Dad about the situation when we get home tonight, okay?"
"Besides, you've been married for so long, and you're not going to get a divorce. Even if Dad really cheated on you, all we can do is make him realize his mistake and promise not to do it again. What's the point of calling us here now?"
"Why is divorce impossible?" Yin Siyi's voice trembled slightly.
What good would divorce do you?
Cheng Jian even brought up Yin Siyi's parents.
"Besides, even if you want to get a divorce, your grandparents will definitely not agree. Then, without the help of the Yin family, how can you live the life of a wealthy lady like you do now?"
Looking at her son, Yin Siyi suddenly felt that he was a complete stranger. "Is this what you really think?"
She was clearly the baby I carried for ten months and gave birth to, so how did she grow up to be such a person who doesn't even have basic empathy for her own mother?
"I deserve half the credit for the Cheng family's current success. Even if we divorce, I'll still get half of Cheng Zhuoxing's assets." Perhaps because she had been too devastated, Yin Siyi's mind became clear.
"Mom, please don't say such hurtful things!" Cheng Jian said anxiously. "This is not a child's play. Your divorce and division of property will definitely have a direct impact on the company's development. Moreover, Uncle Jiang just mentioned that he has the idea of investing in the Cheng family's businesses. You have to consider the bigger picture, right, Shu Ting?"
Jiang Shuting had been watching Cheng Jian with a smile, offering no comment on their family affairs. Now that her name had been mentioned, she spoke gently to Cheng Jian:
"Cheng Jian, you go out and greet the guests first. I'll talk to Auntie."
"Okay."
Seeing Jiang Shuting's gentle expression, Cheng Jian felt a little relieved. As long as Jiang Shuting wasn't angry, everything else could be dealt with later.
"Then you should talk to your mom nicely and try to persuade her."
"Okay, don't worry." Jiang Shuting nodded with a smile.
After Cheng Jian opened the door and left, Jiang Shuting walked up to Yin Siyi and said sincerely:
"Auntie, thank you for not hiding it from me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that I had been misjudging people all along."
"Also, I must apologize to you, as today's engagement party will probably have to be ended early."
