Zhang found it extremely humiliating. Rong Jingtang really took her for an idiot and believed that she could be easily fooled.
“You…” Rong Jingtang felt a little guilty when Zhang pointed it out. He suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Anyway, since Zhang already knew his purpose, what could he say?
“Then what do you want? A divorce?” asked Rong Jingtang.
“Isn’t that what you want? If you really wanted to be with me, you wouldn’t have betrayed me. Since you betrayed me, it means you don’t want to be in marriage with me any longer. It’s you who wants a divorce,” said Zhang.
“Stop saying that I betrayed you! If you were willing to get pregnant again, I wouldn’t have done that! Both of my brothers have a son, while I don’t. Do you want me to lose my share of the family’s wealth?” Rong Jingtang snapped at Zhang. He only cared about his own benefits. He couldn’t care less about other people’s feelings.
“Fine, fine, fine, it’s all my fault! You’re right all the time! I don’t want to continue now. I must have a divorce. You can move to live with the woman and your son. I feel disgusted upon thinking of you having sex with the woman in the bed,” Zhang shouted.
…
Master Rong was worried that Rong Jingtang might ruin everything and make it even worse, so he told his second son to go up and have a look.
Once Rong Jingtang’s brother went up, he saw him defending himself with the same ridiculous reason. He blamed his wife for everything.
Everyone had ambition, so did Rong Jingtang’s brother, but he wouldn’t blame other people for his own mistakes.
No matter what, Rong Jingtang was wrong this time.
However, Rong Jingtang’s brother couldn’t say anything right now. He could only go downstairs and report the situation to Master Rong.
Master Rong actually still had some confidence in Rong Jingtang and believed that Rong Jingtang could control the situation, but unfortunately Rong Jingtang failed. He didn’t control the situation at all and even made it worse. Master Rong was so mad that he even wanted to slap Rong Jingtang again.
Rong Jingtang couldn’t solve the problem, so he had to help. Without delay, Master Rong hurriedly went upstairs.
After Master Rong got upstairs, Rong Jingtang had been chased out of the room by Zhang and was still criticizing Zhang for being unreasonable. Master Rong was so mad that he almost had a heart attack.
“Rong Jingtang, shut up!” Master Rong stopped him.
Hearing Master Rong’s voice, Rong Jingtang trembled in fear and shut his mouth at once. He realized why his father told him to come upstairs, but he ruined everything. Rong Jingtang panicked a little.
“I told you to apologize. What are you doing?” Master Rong angrily questioned out of breath.
“I did, but she wouldn’t listen to me.” Rong Jingtang argued. He didn’t think it was his fault.
“You did? Why don’t I see any sincerity? Do you know what an apology is?” Master Rong questioned. He couldn’t see that Rong Jingtang sincerely apologized. “You did something wrong. You must apologize to your wife sincerely. How can you blame your wife for it?”
“Dad, why are you all criticizing me? Am I really wrong?” Rong Jingtang lost his patience when Master Rong wouldn’t stop criticizing him.
“Because you have no standards. You only care about yourself, so you never think that you’re wrong,” said Master Rong. He wasn’t saying that he was an upright man, but he wouldn’t do something like this nor think it was right.
However, he felt it had already happened so he wanted to keep the Rong family’s kid, but the woman couldn’t join the Rong family even if Zhang divorced Rong Jingtang. It would only humiliate the Rong family.
Although the Rong family wasn’t comparable to the Leng family, it was much better than the Yuan family and the Chang family. At least, the Rong family wouldn’t be involved in drug trafficking or corruption.
However, they didn’t know what their collateral branches and the officials in their faction were doing, because they couldn’t control everyone. They would only solve problems if there were any.
Rong Jingtang was slightly persuaded by Master Rong, so he remained silent.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault that I didn’t educate my son well. He hurt your feelings. I promise you that I’ll send the woman and the boy abroad. They’ll disappear from your life. Please think twice if you really want a divorce. You don’t want your kids to lose their mother, right? It’ll hurt them deeply,” said Master Rong. He wouldn’t directly stop her from getting a divorce, but he used her kids to persuade her to calm down a little.
His words were useful and Zhang softened slightly. She only cared about her kids now; it had nothing to do with Rong Jingtang.
However, upon thinking of Rong Jingtang’s attitude, she couldn’t help getting mad.
“If I get a divorce, my kids will be hurt, but if I don’t, I’ll be hurt. It’s so difficult to be a woman. I can’t live my own life, yet my husband betrayed me and even took it for granted.” Zhang found it ridiculous. She had sympathy for all women. Afterwards, she turned to look at Rong Jingtang and asked, “Rong Jingtang, since you hurl the blame on me, would you accept it if I had an illegitimate kid outside?”
“Of course not, why should I accept that?” Rong Jingtang subconsciously answered.
“Ha-ha, ha-ha.” Zhang laughed sadly and cried. “Yeah, why? You know it’s unfair. Then why should I accept it? Why do you force me to do something you can’t? Why?”
“Rong Jingtang, enough! If you still can’t realize it’s your fault, you’ll be chased out of the Rong family!” Master Rong felt embarrassed by his son. He was trying to solve the problem for Rong Jingtang, but Rong Jingtang wouldn’t stop embarrassing him.
“Dad…” Hearing that, Rong Jingtang was shocked and finally realized how serious it was, so he didn’t dare to argue about it again.
“You should leave now. I need to be alone for a while. My parents will come and we can talk about it later. I already called them,” said Zhang, feeling helpless. She was so tired and was sick of arguing with them.
