r female stars, she was still a girl who loved looking good and had rarely had the chance to show herself off. She wanted to look beautiful and sexy.The purple wedding dress suited her perfectly, tall...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO

"Scoundrel!" She gritted out through her teeth.

Tang Shuwen remained expressionless. His usual good temper was ineffective with Chen Xueru; he only cared about achieving his goal.

How he went about it, the methods he used, were of no concern to him.

He was well aware of Chen Xueru's weak spot.

That would be her child.

No matter how much she wanted to die, she wouldn't leave her child behind.

Chen Xueru managed to break free from him and realized that the cruel Tang Shuwen wasn’t as bad as a demon; it was worse for him to force her to separate from her child. How could she bear to be separated from her child

It was absolutely out of the question.

"I'm giving you this chance now. Make your demands, and if they’re reasonable, I'll agree. We’ll get married, and we can live in peace. After all, if I drag this to court, my parents will surely be unhappy, and I don't want them to be upset. Do you understand" Tang Shuwen said coolly, confident that Chen Xueru would compromise.

She had already agreed to marry him; what couldn’t she compromise on

Chen Xueru gave a mocking laugh and thought to herself, kind men wouldn't be that bad. Tang Shuwen was truly filial, but his treatment of her and her son was cruel.

Who said that filial sons would always be good

"Fine, you said it yourself." Chen Xueru suddenly smiled. Tang Shuwen let out a sigh of relief; he genuinely feared Chen Xueru would stubbornly refuse to compromise and make everyone look bad.

That was definitely not what he wanted either.

For some reason, he felt resistant to the idea of her taking the child away from him.

Might it be that he had started to like the kid a little and didn't want to see him go After all, blood was thicker than water.

"If this is about my son getting married, naturally I hope to give him a home. As for what you proposed earlier—that I shouldn’t interfere with your personal life and that you can be with whoever you want—those suggestions no longer apply. Once we get married, Xiao Nian and I will become part of your family. I expect reasonable treatment as a wife and demand loyalty from you as a husband. You must sever ties with all your previous women, including Zhao Yuning," Chen Xueru said coolly. "If you can't be faithful to our family, then we'll see each other in court! If you want to sue me, I'm ready for that too!"

"You..." Tang Shuwen gritted his teeth as he looked at her. Chen Xueru was clearly doing this deliberately to make things difficult for him. She was sure that he wouldn't agree, so she purposely made these impossible demands.

He had misjudged her. He thought the woman didn’t have any means or tricks up her sleeve.

But how could he forget that Chen Xueru had been in showbiz for over six years and couldn't possibly be without some sort of leverage.

To actually become the real Mrs. Tang...

Chen Xueru gave a mocking laugh, "It looks like Young Master Tang needs time to think about this. I won’t bother you further."

Afther saying that, she opened the door and left with a relaxed smile on her face.

Tang Shuwen wouldn't agree to her demands. If he did, he would have to completely break up with Zhao Yuning, whom he loved so much; there was no way he’d agree to such a thing. And since he refused, she could breathe easily and take Xiao Nian away.

Later on, if they wanted to see Xiao Nian, she would bring him back.

Surely she could raise the child well all by herself.

Xiao Nian saw Chen Xueru come down and happily rushed over to hug his mother. Holding him in her arms, Chen Xueru sat down as Tang Si and Wen Lan exchanged a glance; they could clearly tell that Chen Xueru was feeling much better than before—she no longer looked gloomy.

Wen Lan asked, "Xueru, how did your talk with Shuwen go"

"It's fine. We just had some minor disagreements. Now it’s all settled; I’ll take Xiao Nian away in a moment. Come here, Xiao Nian, say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma," Chen Xueru said with a smile.

Wen Lan's gaze turned dim, she still had to leave.

"Can't you stay"

Chen Xier didn't speak. Tang Mandong sat gloomily beside, gesturing for Xiao Nian to come over and hugged him tightly, saying, "Good boy Xiao Nian, Auntie will miss you so much."

"Xiao Nian will also miss Auntie."

"Pinkie promise!"

The little kid extended his short chubby hand to make a pinky promise with Tang Mandong. Tang Si asked, "Are you settling down in City A"

"No, I'm taking Xiao Nian to live in America."

Everyone was taken aback; Wen Lan had already started feeling heartbroken, "So far away."y.Cheng Yu said, "You don't need to thank me. Everyone unanimously agreed that you deserved the Newcomer Award, and as for Best Actress, it was a tie in votes. The other votes went to Li Yuanyuan. I m...
