Jiang Ye was a little embarrassed by what they were saying. "Mom and Dad, what's wrong with you?"
His face was slightly flushed, clearly embarrassed by the praise. He hadn't expected to be so appreciated by his parents and receive so much praise; he was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.
"We're about to do something big, Jiang Ye, just you wait and see! This time, we'll make you proud of us," Mother Jiang said earnestly.
Jiang Ye forced a smile, momentarily finding himself both amused and exasperated. "Mom and Dad, good luck!"
Father Jiang Mother Jiang raised their heads, said goodbye to Jiang Ye, and then continued acting as Jiang Ye had instructed.
Mother Jiang was transformed from an elegant, wealthy woman into a crazy old woman who went insane on the spot.
Father Jiang also transformed from a refined and easy-going middle-aged man into a disgusting and perverted man with gleaming eyes.
The two people underwent almost a complete transformation; even their faces changed.
Song Shiwei couldn't help but give them a mental thumbs up. [Fantastic! If they act like that tomorrow, they'll definitely fool that dean completely.]
Upon hearing Song Shiwei's words, Father Jiang Mother Jiang their eyes. "Great!" they thought, relieved to hear her words.
The two of them can finally go to sleep.
Father Jiang Mother Jiang packed up their scripts and rushed upstairs.
Only Song Shiwei and Jiang Xun remained in the living room, looking at each other in bewilderment. Song Shiwei took a deep breath and said somewhat nervously, "Jiang Xun, um, I want to adopt Tongtong."
"If you're worried that adopting Tongtong will affect the company's stock price, I can divorce you."
Jiang Xun's face, which had been about to say something, suddenly froze. What did that mean?
Song Shiwei wants a divorce?
His expression immediately turned fierce, and he grabbed Song Shiwei's hand, his expression somewhat panicked, "Song Shiwei, have you never believed me?"
Song Shiwei:?
What did Jiang Xun mean by that? How could she not believe him? It was precisely because she believed him that she told him about wanting to adopt Tongtong.
"Song Shiwei, I haven't said anything, yet you assume I definitely won't agree, and you want a divorce, is that it?" Jiang Xun stared intently into Song Shiwei's eyes, speaking each word slowly and deliberately.
His eyes were filled with sadness, and even tinged with a slight redness.
Song Shiwei glanced at him silently, her heart skipping a beat. Why did Jiang Xun have such an expression?
She was thinking of the entire Jiang Family. If the Jiang Family were to be implicated and go bankrupt because of something so trivial, then she would truly become a sinner against the Jiang Family.
"Jiang Xun, listen to me, I've always believed in you," Song Shiwei quickly said. "I know you'll accept Tongtong, but that doesn't mean others will. If Tongtong is adopted, Tongtong will definitely cause a lot of trouble. If the Jiang Family is implicated because of this, will the rest of the Jiang Family agree?"
Song Shiwei poured out all the words she had kept buried in her heart, her eyes filled with deep sorrow, "I didn't want to divorce you either."
"But Tongtong is so pitiful. I can't bear to see her sent to an orphanage. She has some personality flaws. If she's sent to an orphanage, this child will be ruined, you know that, Jiang Xun?"
"I don't just want to adopt Tongtong; I actually want to save myself from being like Tongtong."
"You might find this idea absurd, but Jiang Xun, I just want to be that kind of saintly, innocent, pure-hearted person."
"Not everyone will agree to me adopting Tongtong, so I have no choice but to divorce you and adopt Tongtong."
Jiang Xun never expected that Song Shiwei's reason for wanting a divorce would be so absurd. In the end, Song Shiwei still didn't truly consider him family.
She didn't trust him at all, he thought with a bitter smile. "What if everyone in the Jiang Family agreed to you adopting Tongtong?"
"How could that be..." Song Shiwei hadn't finished speaking when she remembered that the Jiang Family did indeed have a precedent of adoption.
Wasn't Jiang Chao adopted?
However, this matter is quite complicated, and if it's not handled properly, it could affect the Jiang Family's stock price.
"I know what you're worried about. Are you worried that this matter might affect the company's stock price?" Jiang Xun's sharp eyes stared unblinkingly at Song Shiwei.
Song Shiwei felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, and could only nod with difficulty, "Yes, so it's the best choice for us to get a divorce and for me to adopt Tongtong alone."
"In the end, it's still because you don't trust me! I'm your husband, am I really that unworthy of your trust?" A hint of obsession flashed in Jiang Xun's sharp, hawk-like eyes, which were red-rimmed.
He will not divorce Song Shiwei, not even if it kills him. Song Shiwei can only be his wife for the rest of his life. If Song Shiwei insists on leaving, he doesn't mind using some extreme measures.
There are many ways to keep someone around.
"It's not that I don't trust you, oh dear, Jiang Xun, how can you not understand! This matter is extremely complicated, you know?" Song Shiwei said, looking flustered.
"I don't understand. All I know is that you want a divorce." Jiang Xun stared unblinkingly into Song Shiwei's eyes, his eyes bloodshot. "Song Shiwei, I love you. Have you never cared about that?"
Song Shiwei paused subconsciously, looking at Jiang Xun's expression like that of a wounded puppy, and felt a pang of unease. "I know."
"Then why don't you believe me! I will definitely find a way! We can adopt Tongtong even if we don't get a divorce."
Jiang Xun spoke hastily yet sincerely, and after finishing, he sighed helplessly, "Song Shiwei, save your breath, I will absolutely not divorce you."
