Zhang Yang was already aware that Chen Yun had been considering divorce, but he did not expect her to bring it up at this moment.
Zhang Tiande’s face also turned extremely unpleasant.
"You want to divorce me?"
"Why? Just because of what happened today? You saw what happened today; I was acting on someone else’s behalf, and it wasn’t intended to harm you, was it?"
"Chen Yun, you know how I’ve treated you over the years."
Chen Yun did not deny the good treatment she had received from Zhang Tiande over the years.
But Chen Yun still firmly said, "Let’s divorce. The things you’ve done have been very disappointing. You said what happened today was acting on someone else’s behalf?"
"But they only asked you to bring Zhang Yang here, didn’t they? Did they ask you to do it in such a manner?"
Zhang Tiande still stubbornly justified himself, saying, "Because I knew this kid wouldn’t come obediently if I just asked, so I had to use this last resort."
"Zhang Tiande, do you think I can’t see through your intentions? You deliberately did this to provoke Zhang Yang, hoping he would conflict with Miss Li Meizhuang, as you wanted to use someone else to do your dirty work."
Zhang Tiande’s expression changed, and Chen Yun calmly said: "After all, we’ve been married for so many years, Zhang Tiande, I can still see through your thoughts."
"Today, fortunately, it was Li Meizhuang who didn’t intend to clash with Zhang Yang; otherwise, you might have succeeded."
"The decision to divorce you is not just because of today’s incident, but also because of Xiao Man’s situation."
"Until now, Xiao Man is still missing; did you ever really think about looking for her?"
"You didn’t, did you? You’ve never cared about this daughter in your heart."
Zhang Tiande was left speechless by Chen Yun, especially in the presence of others, making him feel that he had lost all his dignity.
"Chen Yun, it’s impossible for you to want a divorce; I won’t divorce you."
Zhang Tiande looked towards Zhang Yang.
Seeing Zhang Tiande’s gaze, Zhang Yang immediately knew that Zhang Tiande was up to no good.
"You’re not still hoping that I would treat you, are you?" Zhang Yang also said sarcastically.
Zhang Tiande dropped the pretense, "Exactly, since you have a good relationship with Aunt Yun, don’t you want to help her?"
"As long as you cure me, I’ll agree to the divorce."
After hearing this, Zhang Yang looked towards Chen Yun, thinking that if it could truly free Chen Yun from the bonds of this marriage, it might not be a bad idea.
But then Chen Yun spoke up: "Zhang Yang, this is between him and me, you don’t have to interfere."
Zhang Tiande’s expression changed, "Chen Yun, don’t you want to divorce anymore?"
"I do, but I will divorce you through legal means. I’ll see you in court."
Zhang Tiande did not expect Chen Yun to be so resolute.
He had just noticed Zhang Yang was about to agree; as long as Chen Yun spoke, Zhang Yang would definitely have agreed to treat him.
"Chen Yun, even if you sue for divorce, I’m confident that you won’t be able to get it."
"Just let Zhang Yang treat me, and everything will be easy to discuss, everything will become very simple."
"No need!" Chen Yun said decisively.
Even Zhang Yang was somewhat tempted to persuade Chen Yun, but at that moment Chen Yun firmly said, "Zhang Yang, let’s go!"
Zhang Yang, seeing the situation wasn’t good, said no more; he respected Chen Yun’s decision.
Jiang Meiren also disdainfully glanced at Zhang Tiande before following Zhang Yang and Chen Yun as they left.
After the three of them left the building, Zhang Yang couldn’t help but say to Chen Yun, "Aunt Yun, actually treating his illness isn’t such a big deal. By doing so, you’d be less troubled about the divorce matters."
Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Chen Yun also smiled with relief.
She certainly knew how much Zhang Yang detested Zhang Tiande, but for her sake, he could still compromise.
"Zhang Yang, I refused him because he deserved such retribution."
"To force you to treat him, he even harmed Xiao Man. If we really let him have his way, I would be letting Xiao Man down."
"Now that Xiao Man’s whereabouts are unknown, and he still wants treatment? In his dreams!"
Zhang Yang opened his mouth, knowing this principle himself. After thinking for a while, he still said, "Aunt Yun, Xiao Man also hopes for your happiness, so if you..."
Chen Yun interrupted before Zhang Yang could finish speaking, "Zhang Yang, you need not persuade me anymore, I’ll just proceed with the normal divorce lawsuit. Although it might take some time, it will definitely be successful in the end."
Suddenly, Jiang Meiren spoke up, "Actually, this matter is quite simple."
"Isn’t he just acting all arrogant because he’s got a bit of money? If we render him penniless, I think he would not only lack the energy and power to fight you in court but might actually beg you for a divorce. By that time, his desire would shift from wanting treatment to wanting money."
It must be said, though Jiang Meiren’s method was a bit ruthless, it was indeed a good idea.
Zhang Tiande, proudest of his self-made success, thus looked down on people.
Always so arrogant, it would serve him right to be ruined and brought back to his early days; that would rid him of his wild ideas.
Chen Yun hesitated, "Isn’t this going too far? And we don’t have a way to bankrupt him, either."
Jiang Meiren said, "Give me half a month, and I assure you he will not only be bankrupt but also saddled with a mountain of debt."
"This..." Chen Yun still remembered past affections and had a hard time being harsh.
Seeing this, Jiang Meiren suddenly couldn’t stand it any longer, "Are you really prepared to let him harm you a second or third time?"
This remark instantly roused Chen Yun.
Zhang Tiande really was growing more shameless by the day, having kidnapped Xiao Man and today, forcibly brought her from the beauty salon to this place.
If this continues, who knows what excessive things he’d do in the future.
And Zhang Tiande’s determination to seek treatment was genuinely strong, relentlessly plotting against Zhang Yang at every moment.
Considering this, Chen Yun then firmly said, "Then I’ll trouble Miss Jiang."
"Heh, what trouble? It’s nothing at all!"
"Where are you all headed? How about we all grab a meal together?" suggested Jiang Meiren.
Zhang Yang quickly said, "I need to return to the beauty salon, my senior sister is still there."
"Right, Xu Mengyan is also there," Zhang Yang knew that Jiang Meiren and Xu Mengyan were very close girlfriends.
Sure enough, Jiang Meiren directly said, "Then I’ll go to the beauty salon with you. I might as well get a card, let’s start with one million."
"How much?" Chen Yun was startled, almost thinking she had misheard.
Zhang Yang knew that for a top-level tycoon like Jiang Meiren, one million was like one hundred yuan to ordinary people; it was not much at all.
"Aunt Yun, this is a major client; you better take good care of her," he said.
"Maybe she might even top up to five million later on."
