Chapter 375: Chapter 375

It turned out that after Tian Yaruo got divorced and returned home, she threw ten thousand yuan at Mrs. Tian Sr., and only then did the family find out that she had already divorced Yan Xuefeng!

Mr. Tian flew into a rage on the spot, insisting that she go beg Yan Xuefeng to remarry immediately, even if it meant getting down on her knees to make it happen! And Kesong was so favored in the Yan Family—let him help persuade them. After all, what child would wish for their parents to divorce and end up in a single-parent household?

Thinking of Kesong, Tian Yaruo felt a pang in her nose and forced back the tears in her eyes. The child didn’t have much of a reaction to their divorce and only said that as long as they were happy, it was fine. Even if they both formed new families in the future, he wouldn’t interfere—he’d go live with his grandparents.

The reason she agreed to divorce Yan Xuefeng wasn’t so she could find someone else; she was just utterly exhausted! The suffocating oppression in her daily life made her fear that if it continued, she might actually end up taking her own life!

The final straw that broke the camel’s back was something Yan Xuefeng said when he was drunk—that she really had betrayed him, deceiving him all these years.

But she didn’t want every argument between them to revolve around that event, always being used as a weapon against her.

Mrs. Tian Sr. begged Tian Yaruo through her tears to think of the child, to go and console Yan Xuefeng. What could be so insurmountable that it had to end in divorce?

Tian Yaruo, however, only cast an unusually cold glance at Tian Yaru on the side and said that everything should be asked of her "good sister"! It was she who deliberately went to tell Yan Xuefeng that she was Li Si’s biological mother, which is why he divorced her!

In an instant, all eyes turned to Tian Yaru. She hurriedly explained that it was just a moment of impulse at the time, and she regretted it as soon as she said it. But back then, Yan Xuefeng didn’t seem to mind, either. Their divorce couldn’t possibly have been because of that.

Ye Duowei, who was watching from the sidelines, was stunned, not knowing whom to console. She never thought her mother would go and tell her uncle that—anyone with half a brain would never say such a thing! What on earth was her mother thinking?

Mrs. Tian Sr. burst into loud sobs, lamenting what misdeeds she must have committed to end up with such a cruel eldest daughter, who outright ruined her youngest daughter’s perfectly good marriage.

Mr. Tian couldn’t hold back and slapped Tian Yaru hard across the face, cursing loudly. He was so infuriated by her that he felt like he might actually keel over. Even if there were sibling rivalries, how could she blur the line between family disputes and outside interference?

That matter was taboo—how could she carelessly reveal it to outsiders? Especially to the Yan Family! How could they possibly tolerate Tian Yaruo after finding out?

Thinking about the future, Mr. Tian’s blood pressure spiked, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.

Tian Yaru was stunned by the slap. Coupled with her guilty conscience, she didn’t dare argue back.

But the defiance in her eyes was evident, silently accusing Tian Yaruo—was divorce really such a clean-cut issue? Who knew, maybe Yan Xuefeng already had someone else outside and just used this as a convenient excuse to divorce her, feeling entirely justified.

At the end of the day, it was because Tian Yaruo wasn’t good enough, didn’t have the charm! If she did, would Yan Xuefeng have been willing to leave her?

Tian Yaruo merely watched this absurd drama playing out before her with a cold detachment, feeling neither joy nor sorrow. In her heart, she had already regarded these people as strangers—the most familiar strangers.

They could make all the noise they wanted; she planned to stay far away from them in the future. So today was just a farewell. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel★fire.net

As she was leaving, Tian Yaruo specifically reminded them that the money was for Mrs. Tian Sr. to spend herself, and no one else should shamelessly scheme to get their hands on it.

The comment infuriated Tian Yaru to the point where she wished she could rip her apart on the spot. If Mr. Tian hadn’t been there, she would have done just that.

Mrs. Leng glanced at her with displeasure upon hearing this. "I’m not interested in knowing!"

No matter what Tian Yaru wanted to say, Mrs. Leng didn’t miss the flash of malice in her eyes.

Tian Yaru, unconcerned, sat down and stared straight into Mrs. Leng’s eyes. "Oh? My, you certainly have an open mind! What I’m about to tell you concerns the family background of your precious daughter-in-law! Aren’t you at all curious to hear about it?"

"Li Si’s background?" Mrs. Leng looked at her as if to confirm whether what she was about to say was true.

Tian Yaru smugly smoothed her hair. "Yes! As it turns out, I share a blood relation with Li Si. I’m her biological aunt, and my sister is her biological mother!

She knows all about this, doesn’t she? Has she never mentioned it to you? Well, isn’t that just wrong of her! How could she hide her background from her in-laws?"

Sure enough, the news was shocking, and Mrs. Leng was indeed surprised. But she quickly composed herself because she recalled the disdain and utter dislike Li Si had for these people—it was unmistakable.

"So what?" Mrs. Leng asked coldly. Was she supposed to exchange pleasantries with her as if she were some respected in-law?

She thought back to what Li Si had told her about that time her bone marrow donation was followed by the Tian Family’s drama. And the things Mrs. Leng had personally witnessed from this family.

Then there was the unusually calm expression on Li Si’s face earlier when Mrs. Leng mentioned Tian Yaruo’s divorce. It all clicked.

This was a family that, although they gave birth to her, hadn’t raised her. Yet when they needed her, they demanded selfless contributions without a shred of gratitude.

If not for the circumstances that brought Tian Yaruo and Yan Xuefeng to North City, Li Si wouldn’t have ended up accepting Mrs. Leng as her godmother.

What a melodramatic mess this all was!

Tian Yaru was completely thrown off. This wasn’t at all how she had envisioned it—how could Mrs. Leng react this way?

At the very least, she should be furious at Li Si for hiding the truth!

Mrs. Leng impatiently glanced at her phone. Sisi had gone to the restroom a while ago and still hadn’t come out. Had something happened?

She stood up, grabbing her bag and coat. Tian Yaru followed suit, exclaiming, "Mrs. Leng, where are you going? I haven’t finished speaking yet!"

"I’m not interested! Please step aside!" Mrs. Leng brushed past her indifferently, picking up Li Si’s bag and coat, and headed toward the restroom to find her.

"You..." Tian Yaru felt utterly baffled. Why was everyone reacting the same way?

Yan Xuefeng was , and now so was Mrs. Leng. Could it be that on the surface, they seemed calm, but deep down, they were already blaming Li Si? Just like Yan Xuefeng—he said nothing at first but later decisively divorced Tian Yaruo?

That would be perfect! The thought made Tian Yaru grin with satisfaction as she watched Mrs. Leng walk away.

If she wasn’t having a good time, then neither should they. No one should get away unscathed!

Wasn’t Tian Yaruo dead set on making her life miserable these days? Now both Mr. and Mrs. Tian were displeased with her and even entertained thoughts of kicking her little family of three out of the house.

If it weren’t for Mrs. Tian Sr. softening and warning her in advance, she wouldn’t have even known Mr. Tian was planning this.

And all of this was because of Tian Yaruo. If it hadn’t been for her relentless pressure, would she have said anything to Yan Xuefeng about Li Si’s background?

It was all her fault! Too bad Tian Yaruo had disappeared—no one knew where she had gone.

In that case, she’d just have to take it out on her precious daughter instead!

No way the Leng Family would easily tolerate Li Si’s deception—what a stigma it would be to be labeled an illegitimate child!

Meanwhile, Mrs. Leng had just reached the restroom door when she saw Li Si walking out after washing her hands.

"Sisi, why did it take so long?" Mrs. Leng asked with concern. Though she couldn’t deny being affected by the news of Li Si’s background, one look at the child in her belly made her set it all aside for now. For the time being, the most important things were Mo Chen and the baby—everything else paled in comparison.

Li Si took her coat and bag from Mrs. Leng and whispered softly in explanation, "It’s nothing—I just had to wait; the restroom was a bit crowded."

Mrs. Leng didn’t press further. Their shopping spoils had already been sent to the car by Jiang Tong, so they simply paid their bill and left. (To be continued.
