Chapter 64: Mr. Tang: Sign it, let’s divorce
As dawn broke, two pieces of news had already set the small city of Pingjiang abuzz, becoming the hot topic even among the elders doing their morning exercises.
Tang Wan had no mood to refresh the news, but her best friend sent her a screenshot. “Tang Xiaowan, Uncle Tang really has a unique way of handling things—so dashing! Such a pity I wasn’t born 20 years earlier or else…”
“What, you want to be my stepmom?” Tang Wan chuckled lightly. “No matter how many years earlier you were born, you wouldn’t stand a chance, my dad doesn’t like your type.”
“Can’t I have a secret crush?”
“As long as you’re happy.”
…
On Jiang Jinsang’s end, he also received a call from home. Stepping out of the Hospital room, he stood in a deserted spot at the end of the hallway. “Bro—”
“Mr. Tang is quite a tough nut to crack, isn’t he?” His tone was so coldly neutral it was hard to discern any emotion, but being childhood friends, Jiang Jinsang could still sense a hint of schadenfreude.
“Calling me first thing in the morning just to say this?”
“How’s Old Tang doing? Everyone back home is quite worried and it’s inconvenient to keep calling and bothering them.”
“Same old, he’s fine, just needs to wake up.”
“The Tang Family might face a bit of chaos next. Help out more where you can.”
“I know.”
Just then, a little one with a backpack scampered down the stairs, “Morning, dad.”
“Mm, your uncle called, want to say hello?”
“Sure!”
The little guy, dressed in his kindergarten uniform, straightened his clothes and cleared his throat before taking the phone. Despite it just being a phone call, he treated it with great ceremony, grabbing the phone and pretending to speak deeply, “Hello—hi.”
Jiang Jinsang chuckled, “Have you been behaving at home recently?”
“Very well-behaved, just really missing you. When are you coming home?”
…
Standing to one side, watching his son beam with joy, the man considered the recent national weather which wasn’t great. He originally planned to wait for a clear day to parachute the little guy over, but then the Tang Family crisis happened.
Whether to stick to the original plan or rethink it was something he really needed to consider…

At that moment at the Hospital entrance, Zhang Liyun had arrived.
It had rained the night before, dispersing the journalists who had been blocking the Hospital entrance, but the morning’s explosive news had driven most of Pingjiang’s reporters here upon hearing that Tang Yunxian and He An were both at this Hospital.
If it weren’t for the security’s threat to call the police on anyone trespassing, they might have already charged in.
Zhang Liyun, anxious and in a rush, hurried to the Hospital. She had been captured in a reporter’s interview the previous day, and with the morning’s uproar, she dared not use Tang Family’s cars, which were too conspicuous.
She took a taxi, wearing sunglasses and a mask, keeping a low profile.
But she forgot about the reporters at the Hospital entrance, and as she tried to sneak in, one of them spotted her.
“There’s Zhang Liyun!”
One shouted loudly, and immediately, all the journalists with their cameras surged forward like a tidal wave, ready to swamp her.
“Mrs. Tang, what is the meaning behind the legal notice issued by Tang Corporation? Was it not Tang Wan but Tang Mo who was arrested that day?”
“To protect your own daughter, you pushed Tang Wan into the fire pit. Don’t you think this approach is highly unethical?”
“What exactly is your relationship with Tang Wan? Did you know about this incident beforehand?”

Zhang Liyun was overwhelmed by the hoard of reporters, her only option was to keep dodging and trying to escape. However, these people had been waiting outside for a long time, and once they caught someone, there was no way they would let her leave easily.
Many people sensed something unusual in Tang Yunxian’s behavior.
She feared her tenure as Mrs. Tang wouldn’t last much longer—then she’d be worth nothing, and the reporters would show even less mercy.
A reporter’s microphone even bumped against her face, infuriating her, but under the camera’s gaze, she had to suppress her anger, “I won’t answer any questions, please let me through.”
But the reporters didn’t back down. Amid the shoving, Zhang Liyun got stepped on several times. By the time she finally escaped into the hospital, she was disheveled. Her breakfast had been knocked out of her hands, and even her sunglasses had fallen off, drawing numerous sideways glances from people in the hospital lobby.
“That’s the evil stepmother.”
“She looks human enough, how could she do such shameless things?”
“Who knows, maybe the first Mrs. Tang’s death had something to do with her too, probably used dirty tricks to get into the Tang Family.”
…
When the wall falls, everyone kicks it.
In reality, Zhang Liyun had never even met Tang Wan’s biological mother, yet now all the imaginable melodrama of a wealthy family had been thrust upon her.
“She looks decent enough, but she must have done plenty of dirty deeds!” said an old woman loudly, “What goes around comes around. The poor girl lost her mother early on, and the Tang Family didn’t wrong you, bullying someone’s daughter, you will receive your karma!”
Zhang Liyun wasn’t frightened by the prospect of a legal notice but by the possibility of He An betraying her. The word ‘karma’ made her shudder so intensely that she didn’t dare to take the elevator and instead climbed the stairs to the hospital room.

At this moment in the hospital room, Tang Yunxian was watching the morning financial news.
His assistant knocked and came in, whispering in his ear, “She just called me, inquiring about your schedule. I told her you were already at the hospital.”
“There are a lot of reporters at the hospital entrance, she was surrounded when she got here, she should be arriving soon.”
“Hmm.” Tang Yunxian nodded.
The hospital room was on the 12th floor. When Zhang Liyun climbed up, her back was drenched in sweat. Seldom involved in physical activities, her legs felt weak, and she seemed to have drained all her energy. After tidying her dress and appearance, she walked out and bumped into Tang Yunxian’s assistant.
“Xiaocai, what are you doing here?” she asked, trying to keep her composure.
“The master has something to tell you, please come with me.” Xiaocai led her in the opposite direction from the hospital room.
They entered a small conference room where doctors discuss medical conditions, Tang Yunxian still in his suit, looking refined and composed, his eyes and face extremely gentle. However, having lived with him so long, Zhang Liyun could distinctly feel the chilling indifference radiating from him.
“Yunxian…” Zhang Liyun managed a strained smile from the corner of her mouth, “When did you arrive in Pingjiang, why didn’t you call?”
Tang Yunxian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his features gentle, yet the light casting his profile betrayed a chilling indifference.
“Please, take a seat.” Tang Yunxian did not speak, but his assistant offered her a chair.
Zhang Liyun nodded and sat down stiffly, “Um… have you and Tang Xiaowan had breakfast yet?”
“Today, the old master…”
Before she could speak again, assistant Xiaocai had already placed a printed document in front of her.
She glanced at it casually; the bold black words on the first page instantly caused her pupils to dilate, leaving her breath staggered.

The sweat on her back, initially hot, had now turned into a piercing cold, and her entire being felt like it had plunged into an ice cellar.
Tang Yunxian looked at her, “Sign it, let’s get divorced.”
His gaze was terrifyingly calm.
