Chapter 70 Parting
Lan Tian smiled, which was a little subtle and mocking.
Who is not afraid of going to prison? Whether you want windy or rainy outside, after entering, even the ants on the ground are not as good as those on the ground, can I not be afraid?
Listening to his words, she couldn't help shivering.
"Didn't you say, do you love me and do anything for me?" She cried, "In that case, why can't you sacrifice for me? Moreover, do you really have the heart to see our children born in prison?
"Of course, I can't bear to see my flesh and blood suffering," Lan Tian sneered and looked at her. "The question is, is the child in your belly really mine?"
Cao Jixin's face stiffened, "You--"
"The child in your belly will not be mine at all. According to time, you were already pregnant when we first had sex."
Lan Tian left his briefcase aside, and then sat down on the chair beside him, preparing to talk to her for a long time.
"Yes, the child is not yours." Cao Jixin squeezed her mouth and was not embarrassed at all.
Actually, she also knows that paper can't wrap fire.
At the beginning, she wanted him to marry herself, which was just a stopgap measure. She just wanted to find a coy for the child in her belly, and she didn't love Lantian much.
After getting married, she also wanted to confess to him.
However, after he learned that she was pregnant, he was so meticulous to her and listened to how beautiful he described the future of their family of three.
If he knew that the child was not himself, would he not be so good to her? Will he not be so conscientious after the child is born in the future?
Thinking of these questions, she decided not to tell him the truth first.
Now, she may still go to prison because of money laundering, so she wants to use the child in her belly to soften his heart and make him a scapegoat for herself.
Unexpectedly, he had known that the child in her belly was not his own.
She couldn't help shivering at the thought that he knew the truth and could still take care of her so thoughtfully.
"Now that you know everything, you might as well open the skylight and speak out." Cao Jixin looked straight at him, "What can you do to help me?"
Cao Jixin is beautiful in appearance, but in fact she is a snake and scorpion beauty. She has a sinister personality and a deep city government, and everything is in her calculation.
At the beginning, she would choose Lan Tian to be her husband, which had nothing to do with love, but felt that she could control him. She saw that he was also a career-minded person who put interests first in everything.
So, she knew that as long as the price was right, he would do it according to his own will.
Seeing that she was in a business posture, Lan Tian no longer pretended.
"Since you are so cheerful, I won't beat around the bush. As you said, instead of two people dying, it is better to sacrifice one life and save the other.
To be honest, after being married to you for so long, I have a little emotional, and I can't bear to see you suffer.
I'm not an insatiable person. I helped you make so much money, but I didn't accept any money. Now, I just need to get back what I deserve.
Cao Ji was silent, but he quickly calculated the price he could give.
"Eight million, I can only give you so much."
Lan Tian smiled and laughed recklessly. In Cao Jixin's eyes, he mocked her smile.
"What, do you think it's too little? Eight million won't be earned in your life.
"It turns out that in your mind, I'm just worth so little." Lan Tian sighed, "However, it doesn't matter if you look down on me, but how can you look down on yourself like this?"
"You--" Cao Jixin bit her lower lip and made a concession, "10 million, I can only pay so much."
10 million is her reserve price. Just now, it was eight million, just in case he bargains. Of course, if he is satisfied with that, she will be very happy.
"I'm really sad for the child in your belly. Don't say that he was born in prison. Well, even if he is not in prison, he was born outside.
But as soon as he was born, there was no one to take care of him, and his parents were not around. If there is really any surprise, you will suffer in vain if you are so hard to conceive him.
This is not the worst. The worst thing is that if his biological father comes back to rob him, I believe the judge will definitely sentence the child back to him..."
"Enough!" Cao Jixin stopped him and continued, "15 million, no more."
"Yes, we need to add 5% of Cao's shares, otherwise, we'll see you in prison."
"You don't have a big appetite, aren't you afraid to die?"
"Don't think I'm a lion. I just want to get what I deserve. You think you are a human being, but others are not.
If you think it's not worth spending 20 million to buy your reputation for a few years, I have nothing to say.
What do you think will be the future after I go in and come out again? No, my life is going to be ruined.
Listening to his words, Cao Jixin did not answer.
Actually, how could she not know what he said?
If he commits a crime, it is not a problem to survive those years, but to bear the discriminatory eyes of others after coming out, which is the stain of following him all his life.
"Good."
After a long silence, she finally let go.
"However, I want to divorce you."
Lan Tian looked at her deeply, and then sighed for a long time. That kind of sadness and helplessness was comparable to the great love saint.
No matter what their thoughts are, in short, after receiving the check and shares, Lan Tian signed a separation agreement with Cao Jixin.
"After today, I don't know if I can't drink and eat with you anymore."
In the restaurant they often go to, Lan Tian raised his glass to Cao Jixin affectionately.
Cao Jixin looked at him blankly, and then buried herself in eating the salad in front of her.
If it hadn't been for the trial tomorrow, and if it hadn't been for the steak he ate here on the last day, as he said, she wouldn't have wasted time eating here.
However, she really admires his acting skills.
Since the showdown, his attitude towards her has been the same as before. He is still so gentle and considerate. In the eyes of outsiders, they are still a very loving couple.
Who would have thought that he only accepted her money this afternoon and signed a separation agreement with her.
"Did I tell you, in fact, I really hated people like you before?"
Lan Tian looked at her with a smile in her eyes, but said something that made her not know how to react.
"I think I have some money, I'm beautiful, I'm self-centered, selfish, and I don't treat others as people at all."
Cao Jixin's mouth moved, as if she wanted to refute him, but she couldn't speak.
"However, after being with you for a long time, I am really attracted to you. Isn't there a saying that women are not bad and men don't love them? I think I really fell in love with you, a bad woman.
To his tender eyes, Cao Jixin's stomach began to feel sour.
She really wants to yell at him, stop pretending, okay? You have got all the money you want, and you pretend to be a great love saint. It's really disgusting to see it.
Although she shouted in her heart, on the surface, she still died calmly without frowning.
"Then should I say, thank you for your love for me?"
The curvature of the corners of Lan Tian's mouth expanded, "It seems that you don't believe it. However, this is also good. At this point, there is no turning back.
If you tell me now that you also love me, I will be really embarrassed and reluctant to part with you. I'm really afraid that I will not be able to control it and then go back on my word..."
"Repent!" She suddenly raised her eyes and stared at him, "You took so much money from me, and now you told me to regret it?"
"Don't be nervous. It's bad for your health." Lan Tian comforted her, "Don't worry, I can take your money, and I will take all the charges in court tomorrow."
Many years later, when Cao Jixin recalled what happened this night, she knew that in fact, at that time, he had already hinted to tell her, but unfortunately she was too self-righteous.
Because she didn't understand the hint he gave, she lost this battle so miserably.
