17: Chapter 17 Are You Disgusted By My Ugliness?_1 17: Chapter 17 Are You Disgusted By My Ugliness?_1 Little Wang of the Wang Clan was a shrewd woman, and she quickly understood what Tan Zhengyong meant.
She had lost face because of Qiao Duo’er and was feeling displeased, but what was face worth?
Was it more important than fields or money?
“Mother, let’s go, don’t let a fool ruin your health,” Little Wang patted the Wang Clan’s back, helping her catch her breath.
However, Li of the Li Clan was not about to let the second house off so easily, her voice filled with sarcasm, “Mother, why on earth would you be upset?
You reap what you sow.
If you hadn’t been so hard on Fourth Boss, would Silly Sister have been so enraged?”
Now that the person is no longer foolish, don’t they have the right to resist?
At this moment, she also made up her mind, if anything happened to the old couple in the future, she wouldn’t bother!
Let the second house obtain all the advantages; they could take care of any illness that arose in the future!
Thinking this way, it seemed she was left with a sense of relief.
However, a fuss still needed to be made—after all, no one would complain about having too much silver, right?
Wang of the Wang Clan glared at Tan Yuancheng: “Are you dead or something?
Just watching these heartless bastards bully me!”
The wife of the Third Boss was cunning.
If she became obstinate, the house would never be divided!
Come up with a solution quickly!
Tan Yuancheng narrowed his eyes: “Stop shouting, the family will remain divided as is.
Your mother and I are still fine.
In the future, whoever has a son to continue the Old Tan Family will receive an additional twenty taels.”
They should have nothing to say now, he had given them a chance, if there was a son, there would be silver.
But if they couldn’t produce one themselves, they couldn’t blame anyone else.
This way, Li of the Li Clan’s arrogance was suppressed.
And Tan Zhengyuan, who had been resentful all along, could only sulk silently on the side, for a simple reason—he lacked a son!
He was the eldest son and should have had access to the best resources.
But because he had no son, he lost out to the second eldest and his family.
Old Man Tan felt very pleased with himself, but still said with concern, “If you are all fine, don’t just stand around here.
Fourth Boss has harmed his vitality, he needs to rest.”
Hmph, he knew his son needed to rest, yet he chose this time to talk about dividing the family—what was his intention?
Qiao Duo’er silently despised Tan Yuancheng, but still, she had to admit that he was the most capable one in the family.
Soon, a crowd of people gradually filed out, and Qiao Duo’er let out a long sigh of relief, finally enjoying some peace and quiet.
Now only Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong remained in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Qiao Duo’er glanced at Tan Zhenghong and saw him looking dejected, as if his parents had died—which, given the recent events, might have been preferable!
“Um…
are you okay?” Qiao Duo’er asked timidly.
In her past life, she was accustomed to being alone.
In this life, suddenly having someone by her side, she really wasn’t used to it.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was living in someone else’s house, she might not have been able to stop herself from throwing this man out!
Perhaps she was destined to be solitary, destined to live a life of loneliness.
“Duo’er, let’s divorce,” Tan Zhenghong spoke slowly.
Ever since he found out that Qiao Duo’er was no longer foolish, he had been contemplating this issue.
Now that Qiao Duo’er’s mind was normal, and she was still an unmarried maiden, she could certainly find a normal family to marry into, surely better than suffering and toiling with him.
Qiao Duo’er’s face darkened as she asked unhappily, “Are you disgusted by my ugliness?”
That was her first reaction, a question blurted out on impulse, as she was quite sensitive about her current appearance.
After all, she had been a great beauty, a classic rich and pretty girl!
