fered; you can’t expect to get a job at Wen’s Enterprises or start up on your own without putting in effort. Who gave money to my father when he started his business Didn’t he succeed Why don’t all of...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO

Xiao Nian shook her head, and Wen Lan's gaze was somewhat moved; she sighed gently. Such a lovely child, such an excellent daughter-in-law—why can't their son be retained Wen Lan looked at Tang Shuwen with disappointment.

Chen Xueru said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you all. If you miss Xiao Nian in the future, I will bring him over to see you."

Wen Lan was reluctant to part with such a lovely child, but there was nothing she could do; Chen Xueru had made up her mind and no one could dissuade her.

Tang Shuwen suddenly grabbed Chen Xueru's hand and forcefully pulled her upstairs. His expression was fierce. Wen Lan stood up and said, "Shuwen, what are you doing Let go of Xueru."

Tang Shuwen ignored her and forcibly pulled Chen Xueru upstairs.

Wen Lan wanted to chase after them, but Tang Si stopped her. "Let them talk things out."

Sitting on the sofa, Xiao Nian stared blankly at Tang Shuwen pulling Chen Xueru upstairs roughly; he muttered softly, "Mom." Tang Si took over the child and said, "Sweetheart, everything is fine. Dad and Mom are discussing something. Everything's okay."

Xiao Nian nodded.

Tang Shuwen pulled Chen Xueru into his room; she warily stepped back. This wasn’t her first time in his room, but everything was unfamiliar to her.

Even Tang Shuwen himself felt like a stranger to her.

Tang Shuwen closed in on her step by step, while Chen Xueru retreated further and further until she had nowhere else to go. Tang Shuwen narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, "Why do you regret it"

"I feel that we are not suited to live together," Chen Xueru said coldly. "Tang Shuwen, I know that the person you want to marry isn’t me. Why force yourself Even if this marriage is an agreement between us, you don’t want it, and neither do I."

Tang Shuwen grabbed her wrist with increasing strength; Chen Xueru coldly chuckled. "Tang Shuwen, does that mean you only know how to use violence against women"

He recalled the expression on her face last night as she looked heartbroken. He frowned and released Chen Xueru. Last night’s sexual encounter, he wouldn’t apologize for it; Chen Xueru turned away from him. "Tang Shuwen, why should I kowtow before you Why do I have to endure your inexplicable anger Why must I forgive your repeated rudeness and harm towards me, even harming my child I haven’t wronged you in any way; several years ago, it was you who raped me. That’s how Xiao Nian came about—this child is everything to me. If you don’t want him, then I will. My appearance in your life wasn’t intentional; I can take him away and leave immediately. I can live with Xiao Nian in America and won’t show up under your nose. You can rest assured. If you wish to marry Miss Zhao, then be happy doing so. If you don’t want to see Xiao Nian, I will never bring him into your lives. These days have been tough for me."

"You haven’t done anything wrong; is this my mistake" Tang Shuwen asked sharply. "Several years ago, you and Gu Rui plotted against me, making him take the USB drive’s data, causing many of my men to die, resulting in heavy losses for Longmen. Does that mean you haven’t wronged me Zhao Yuning and I were planning our wedding when you suddenly appeared with your child. She tried to commit suicide over this; she almost died miserably. Do you think these aren’t your faults"

Chen Xueru coldly chuckled. "Why did you touch me several years ago You’re very strong, right If you can’t control your desires yourself and come to find me to release it, then what does the missing USB drive have anything to do with me I was in that situation because Gu Rui wanted to save Han Bi by giving me to the head of a gang as his woman, forcing medication down my throat. I didn’t know who had raped me. As for your losses due to the disappearance of your things, it’s none of my business; why blame a woman What does Zhao Yuning trying to commit suicide have anything to do with me In this world, people break up every day; are they all supposed to try and kill themselves She doesn’t value life, but you lay the blame on me—on what grounds If someone truly wants to die, do you think anyone can save them"

Tang Shuwen raised his hand as if he were about to strike; Chen Xueru looked up at him with a mocking gaze. "Besides violence, what else do you know"

He never knew that Chen Xueru could be so sharp-tongued, capable of perfectly countering him, and even brave enough to confront him head-on. He thought she had always been submissive.

It turns out he really offended her last night, which is why she became fully armed.

Was he truly mistaken about what happened a few years ago

Could it be that she knew nothing at all

Before meeting Chen Xueru, he had only eaten dinner with Yu Ning and then went to the negotiation. The disappearance of the USB drive was something he discovered after waking up from taking Chen Xueru, but when exactly it disappeared, he had no recollection.

He always thought that Gu Rui had instructed Chen Xueru to use a beauty scheme against him.

Might he have been wrong

Chen Xueru was also a victim back then; it was Gu Rui who betrayed her and sold her, leading to their accidental encounter.

Tang Shuwen dejectedly let his hand fall. Chen Xueru...

She walked past him to leave, and Tang Shuwen quickly grabbed her arm. Chen Xier stood coldly beside them, saying, "We are getting married as planned; you’re not allowed to leave."

"I don’t want to marry you."

"Even if it’s for Xiao Nian, you still won’t agree"

"You’ve never liked Xiao Nian and have always denied that he is your son. Why should I care about his feelings Besides, Xiao Nian said that he wants to be with me. Your parents promised not to separate us. If I don’t want to marry you, I can take the children away and they won’t stop me," Chen Xier explained. The Tang family’s parents were quite progressive.

Although Xiao Nian was their first grandson and the family had always been an unbroken lineage, with sons being very precious, they did not intend to separate her from her son on this matter. For this, Chen Xier felt extremely grateful.

Tang Shuwen gripped Chen Xier’s arm tightly. "My parents said that they won’t stop you, but they are very fond of Xiao Nian and don’t want him to be unhappy. I don’t want them to be disappointed. Tell me what your demands are so that we can get married."

Chen Xier sneered; Tang Shuwen wanted this child too.

The same was true when they got married the first time; he had asked for this child.

"No matter what, I won’t marry you," Chen Xier said firmly. Tang Shuwen flew into a rage and pulled her hand back hard, forcing Chen Xier’s body to straighten up and move closer to him.een a few days," Wu Shuang said with an even sweeter smile, but KaKa wiped his arm; the forced laughter made his skin crawl.She caught sight of his little gesture with her sharp eyes and glared at him...
