Tao Guanglei still stopped Jiang Tong.

Because Li Jingchen had repeatedly instructed him not to let his sister-in-law meet with the Song family.

"Sister-in-law, this is nothing. Qinghe and Song Qingyi are already divorced, and you've miscarried. Just calm down."

I told you I'm not pregnant!

Also, who does he want to shut up?

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My attitude just now was inappropriate." Tao Guanglei raised one hand in apology.

Seeing that he still seemed skeptical, Jiang Tong calmed down a bit. Since Li Jingchen wouldn't see her, she decided to go home first.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take you home."

"No, I'll go back by myself."

"This is my mission, let's go."

Jiang Tong then asked Tao Guanglei to send her to the Jiang Group.

Jiang Tong wanted Yuan Gang to have a good talk with Song Chenggong.

I don't know who he's calling.

"Tongtong, you should go back first. I'll handle Jingchen's matter."

"Dad, if there's anything I can help with, please let me know."

Yuan Gang agreed.

Jiang Tong could only pretend nothing was wrong and go back to take care of her child, keeping the pressure and pain to herself.

From her father's serious gaze, she knew that this matter was not simple and involved officials.

Li Jingchen didn't come back. Jiang Tong didn't receive the call until the next evening.

Staring at the familiar note flashing on the screen, Jiang Tong answered the call.

The voice on the other end of the phone was not Li Jingchen's.

Instead, it was a gentle woman's voice asking if she was Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong was informed that Li Jingchen was drunk at the Seaview Hotel and asked if she could come and pick him up.

"Who are you? Why are you answering my husband's call?"

"President Jiang, please don't misunderstand. President Li and I are business partners. My name is Tan Shuang. He's too drunk to make a phone call..."

Does that mean she can touch his phone?

Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this.

"I'm going to pick him up now."

Jiang Tong hung up the phone and drove off.

She used the garden gate to leave the house, and only turned on the high beams when she stepped outside, afraid that her son would see her going out and want to follow her.

The entrance to the hotel.

Li Jingchen was being supported by a woman. Jiang Tong frowned, quickly parked the car, and went over to him.

The woman in the suit finally let go of his hand. "President Jiang, this is Tan Shuang. President Li has had too much to drink..."

Jiang Tong said, "Yes, I'll have a good talk with him when I get back."

"Who are you, talking about me?"

Li Jingchen, drunk, raised his eyes and straightened up. Upon seeing Jiang Tong, he coldly shook off her hand. Jiang Tong hadn't expected him to refuse to let her touch him.

Her hand turned red, and Jiang Tong clenched her fingers.

"If you don't want to go back, that's fine. Have someone else take you home. I'm leaving—"

"Hey, Mr. Jiang."

Tan Shuang caught up with Jiang Tong and called out to her, "You're President Li's wife, I'm not..."

Then, she said to Li Jingchen with a reproachful tone, "Mr. Li, please don't hold a grudge against your wife. Let's go home."

Li Jingchen was silent for two seconds before going to the back.

Jiang Tong found it laughable.

When she came to pick him up, he was impatient. What's even more ridiculous is that when other women asked him to get in their cars, he actually listened.

Jiang Tong got into the back seat in a huff, "Get out of here, and figure out how to get back yourself."

After the car door closed, Li Jingchen suddenly grabbed Jiang Tong's hand, as if checking if the back of her hand was injured.

The next second, Tan Shuang opened the driver's side door.

"Mr. Jiang...aren't you driving?"

Li Jingchen had already let go of her hand, and Jiang Tong said, "I'm going to drive now."

“How about I drive?” Tan Shuang said. “It’s on my way, and I’m staying up ahead. Could you please give me a ride, Mr. Jiang?”

Before Jiang Tong could speak, Li Jingchen said, "Thank you for your help. You drive more steadily than my wife."

Tan Shuang bit her lip. "Mr. Li, your wife is sitting right next to you..."

Li Jingchen rubbed his temples, looked away, and said, "You don't need to pick me up next time."

Jiang Tong no longer knows what heartache feels like.

This heartache was different from the past; it was like a belated saw that tore at her heart back and forth before delivering a heavy blow.

She also looked out the window and tried her best to remain calm, saying, "Okay, next time please have Miss Tan take you home."

Li Jingchen gave a hoarse "hmm" and said one word, "Okay."

A feeling of suffocation enveloped Jiang Tong completely.

"Miss Tan, could you please stop the car? I need to get out."

“Mr. Jiang, you can’t pull over to the side of this road, and aren’t you going home?”

"I don't want to be in the same place as someone."

"Do you think I want to be with you?" Li Jingchen looked at Jiang Tong, his deep, cold voice carrying a hint of reproach.

"You still owe me an explanation about the child."

"What explanation?! I told you I'm not pregnant."

Tan Shuang looked at the two arguing through the rearview mirror.

Jiang Tong's delicate profile was reflected in the flashing car lights.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Tan, I'm sorry you had to see this funny. Please stop at the next intersection so I can get out."

Li Jingchen sighed, "No need to listen to her. She has the temper of a spoiled young lady and doesn't know how to change."

Tan Shuang smiled and said, "President Li, please rest assured, I will definitely listen to you."

Jiang Tong sneered, "That's just his temper, he can't change it. If you can't stand it, then get a divorce."

Li Jingchen said, "Okay."

A chilling shock ran from her feet to her head, and Jiang Tong's eyes reddened slightly. "Li Jingchen, say that again?"

Li Jingchen loosened his tie and said, "I'm telling you, I'll go through with the divorce."

"Okay, this is what you said."

Tan Shuang bit her lip again, "President Jiang... President Li is drunk, please let him have his way."

Jiang Tong looked at Tan Shuang, "Miss Tan, isn't your house at that intersection up ahead? Haven't we arrived yet?"

Tan Shuang said, "We're here... My neighborhood is just ahead. Mr. Jiang, are you driving?"

Jiang Tong naturally had to drive. As soon as Tan Shuang got out of the car, she looked through the rearview mirror at a man with his arms crossed.

"You get off the bus too."

"..." Li Jingchen was surprisingly agreeable this time, opening the car door and getting out.

Jiang Tong's tears finally streamed down her face.

He agreed to the divorce, and even if he was drunk, that's not a valid reason.

Even if he later says he has his reasons, Jiang Tong has still been hurt.

What I didn't expect was that even more devastating damage was yet to come.

Jiang Tong barely slept all night, and the next day a news article unexpectedly appeared before her eyes.

Li Jingchen, Chairman of Dijin Group.

He is keeping a mistress overseas, frequenting a luxury apartment in Manhattan, sparking rumors of a marital breakdown with the daughter of the Jiang Group.

Jiang Tong clearly recognizes every single word.

Seeing these news reports about him still breaks my heart; it's utterly unbelievable.

Before she could react, she returned to Rose Tomie, only to be greeted by a cold divorce agreement.

Mrs. Zhang said helplessly, "Madam, this was sent by Mr. Li."
