She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 790: Chapter 826: Divorce Proposal

“I can divorce,” said Meng Xingzhi, driven to the brink this time. Meng Ping’s actions in the hospital had really scared him. This son, who had been lawless since childhood, dared to do anything. Today, he had been lucky, but he couldn’t count on such luck every time.

What if they had a conflict someday?

Su Yun and Sheng Ning were like enemies from past lives, exhibiting none of the natural maternal-daughter connection.

Having just left the Chen Family, Meng Xingzhi had spent a long time reflecting on his way here. As Chairman Meng, a divorce would undoubtedly have a significant impact on his reputation and affect his future promotions.

But reputation and promotion were not more important than a harmonious home. He truly feared coming home one day to find his wife lying in a pool of blood, his son having committed a crime.

Better to make a painful decision now than end up with a broken home.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Meng Xingzhi, dare to try divorcing.”

“Chairman Meng, do you realize the impact your divorce could have? No one in your position has ever divorced.”

The three members of the Su Family went pale and looked at Meng Xingzhi with undisguised hostility.

They had dared to drive Su Yun out of the Su Family home because they knew Meng Xingzhi would care for her. However cold-hearted the old man might be, he wouldn’t truly want his daughter to end up in such a plight.

“No, I don’t agree,” the old man said forcefully.

“Father-in-law,” Meng Xingzhi called out solemnly, “to be honest, I have never considered divorce. But Su Yun’s behavior has truly been disheartening. Suggesting divorce is also for her own good. I don’t want a tragedy in the Meng Family where the stepson kills the stepmom.”

“You… you…” The old man was so angry his hands trembled, unable to speak for a long time.

“Dad, don’t get angry, I think what Meng Xingzhi said is reasonable,” intervened Su Hai, who had always been the most indulgent toward Su Yun, but now he saw things most clearly. “My sister indeed has been spoiled. However, the actual divorce isn’t good for either party. How about this—I’ll find time to talk to her.”

Meng Xingzhi gave a wry smile, “I hope she will listen to you.”

“Isn’t it just that she doesn’t like Ningning? Just make sure they never meet again.”

“That’s not realistic,” countered Su Huai’an with a shake of his head, “Making Ningning hide from her forever? What do you take Ningning for? An illegitimate child who can’t be seen in public?”

The living room fell silent until the old man sighed and said, “Ah! I really don’t understand. Su Yun is alienated by everyone; can’t she see the problem with herself? Does she not need something like family affection?”

“Heh…” Su Hai scoffed, “I see through it now. All she needs is herself; she wants everyone to revolve around her. Before Ningning, all of us revolved around her, indulged her. Now with Ningning, of course, Ningning is more popular. It’s natural for everyone to feel a little more pity for Ningning. She’s resentful and can’t bear Ningning, right?”

“There’s one more thing,” Meng Xingzhi said slowly, “She sees Ningning as her own stain.” As her husband over so many years, no one knew his wife better than he did. He could overlook Su Yun’s behavior in the past because the two families had been close friends, because she wasn’t inherently malicious, and she was devoted to their two sons.

With these qualities, she could make up for her shortcomings. Besides, if the Su Family wanted to indulge her, he had no right to disagree. Now that the Su Family didn’t want to indulge her anymore, all the problems were laid bare.
