Chapter 1397: I Only Want You (95)

“Are you from S Nation?”

“Yes.”

“You mentioned just now that your mother sold you off when you were a child. Were you raised by the family who bought you, then?”

“I lived with a woman who wasn’t my foster mother nor my stepmother, and she subjected me to a great ton of torment and suffering. She hit me and abused me all the time. Actually, I resented my mother when I found out that she had abandoned me. If she hadn’t abandoned me, I probably wouldn’t have had to go through all of that torture. When I found out last night that Pei Ling is my son, I made up my mind and decided that I’ll never give up on him no matter what happens.”

Mrs. Pei nodded and said in a mellower tone, “Okay, I’ll talk to my son about this.”

Jing Chu stood up and said, “Get some rest, Madam. I’ll be taking my leave now.”

As soon as she turned around, Pei Yi entered.

Things were much more amicable than he had imagined. He thought that his mother would hit the roof. However, she clearly didn’t.

Jing Chu exited the room while Pei Yi sat down on the spot that she was sitting on earlier.

“Mother, what did she say to you?”

“She told me everything.” Mrs. Pei held his hand and continued, “I finally know how much you dislike Tian Tian. You even went to such great lengths to give me a grandson.”

“Mother, don’t get angry...”

Shaking her head, Mrs. Pei said, “I’m not angry, I just feel sorry to have neglected your feelings, even though you’re so considerate toward me. I was being too selfish. I know you’ve had an unhappy two years. Tell me honestly, are you planning to divorce Tian Tian after I pass away?”

Pei Yi remained silent.

“Son, just tell me the truth. I’m not upset.”

“Yeah, I do have such plans.”

Mrs. Pei patted his hand and said, “Divorce her now.”

Pei Yi asked in astonishment, “Mother, why did you...”

“Don’t think that I was touched or persuaded by that woman’s words. I’m merely sparing a thought for you and Pei Ling. He’s still so young, he can’t go without his biological mother.”

Pei Yi smiled and said, “Yes, I understand that you’re doing this for our sake, not hers.”

Mrs. Pei felt heartened to see him smiling. She instructed, “Don’t tell Tian Tian about this yet. Give her some buffer time and settle the divorce first. I’ll inform her next time.”

“Alright.”

Jing Chu was initially rather nervous. However, she felt much more relieved after seeing the joyful expression on his face when he got inside the car.

He smiled and said, “I really couldn’t tell that you would be this convincing. My mother has allowed me to divorce Tian Tian.”

“It’s because you’re too afraid of hurting your mother’s feelings and you were unwilling to take risks. Besides, I had taken a gamble.”

“What gamble?”

“A gamble on your mother’s love for you. I was wondering if she would choose to be selfish or spare a thought for your feelings instead. Clearly, she had given in and chosen to consider your feelings. She still wants you to be happy, after all.”

Pei Yi kissed her hand and asked, “My beloved Ms. Jing Chu, when will you marry me, then?”

“After you get a divorce.”

“I know you still resent me and you’re only marrying me because of our son...”

Jing Chu said calmly, “It’s not entirely because of our son. I haven’t forgotten about the times you had saved my life. I’m only a small fry and I believe that I would never be able to retaliate against you if you were to insist on your ways.”

——

Tian Tian was called to Mrs. Pei’s home half an hour later.

She had no idea what it was about, but she had an ominous feeling after hearing her mother-in-law’s tone.

She felt extremely panicky and flustered the moment she saw Mrs. Pei’s expression.

“Mother, what’s the matter?”

“Tian Tian, take a seat.”

Tian Tian sat down and stared at her, completely clueless.

“You’ve been married to Pei Yi for more than two years now. I don’t want you guys to burden each other anymore. Why don’t you get a divorce?”

“What? Mother, why...”

“I’m just doing this for your own good. Pei Yi has been living miserably for the past two years. I was the one who compelled him against his wishes and forced him to marry you. However, I’ve figured it all out now. Pei Yi was planning to divorce you after I pass away, so you might as well just get a divorce now, Tian Tian.”

Shaking her head, Tian Tian refused vehemently, “No, I’m not getting a divorce. Over my dead body.”

“He has never gotten intimate with you before throughout your marriage, hasn’t he?”

Tian Tian asked in astonishment, “He told you everything?”

“You two have been as good as separated for more than two years. The judge will grant his request to get a divorce if he raises it to court. Tian Tian, I understand how much you care about him and me, but I don’t want this mistake to drag on. Give up on him and look for a man who truly loves you, alright?”

Tian Tian teared up and said bitterly, “I don’t know why I’m so insistent either. Pei Yi used to be so fond of me. I was too muddled up to have rejected him. Why can’t he just fall in love with me again?”

“Love is hard to explain. Go home, I’m going to take a nap,” Mrs. Pei said feebly while gesturing for her to leave.

Tian Tian left in tears. She got inside the car, overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. The day that she had always been dreading was finally here.

She arrived home to see that she had received a parcel from an anonymous sender.

She was informed that Pei Yi and Jing Chu had gotten back together.

Tian Tian was flabbergasted.

No wonder he asked for a divorce at such a juncture.

Although she had no idea who the sender was, she knew that the news was definitely true because she had received a similar letter two years ago. It was only after reading that letter that she found out that Jing Chu was staying in Pei Yi’s mansion.

Tian Tian stormed off in a huff and headed straight to Mount Qingping.

However, she was denied entry.

She was eager, anxious, furious, and yet helpless.

There was no way she could enter at all. Hence, she decided to take her son away. However, she was too late, for Pei Yi had already brought Pei Ling away.

At this very moment, Pei Ling was all cuddled up in Jing Chu’s embrace and she simply could not take her eyes off him.

Meanwhile, Pei Yi was sitting by his desk and doing some work. However, he could not focus at all and would often get distracted by the two of them.

Although Jing Chu knew that he was staring at her, she kept her head hung low and continued playing with her son.

Blood ties were a miraculous and amazing entity. Pei Ling had only met Jing Chu a few times, and yet, he was already very attached to her and enjoyed being in her embrace.

Having been abandoned by her mother when she was a child, Jing Chu yearned greatly to have a family of her own and swore to never abandon her child, regardless of what happens.

Never ever.

Over her dead body.

——

Qiao An and Su Yan got their marriage registered, after which Su Yan informed his family about the news.

Although they were infuriated by his decision, they did not reprimand him or oppose his decision. That was because Su Yan’s sister, Su Meng, was the one who’d sowed discord between the two of them and caused them to bear a grudge against each other for so many years. She had also indirectly killed their child.

Since they were both divorced, there was nothing wrong with them marrying each other.

Although they had already registered their marriage, they would still have to hold a wedding.
