Zhang Meiyu looked at Tang Zhongcheng, then at Xue Yi.
"Tang Zhongcheng, I don't have to divorce. As long as you cripple Li Xue, I'll let bygones be bygones. Since you're back to reconcile, show some sincerity. Show it to me and the children."
Zhang Meiyu threw a difficult problem back at Tang Zhongcheng.
Tang Yan thought it made sense.
He handed the whip in his hand to Tang Zhongcheng.
"Dad, we your sons are all watching. Don't disappoint us."
What Tang Yan said was exactly what everyone wanted to say.
At this moment, everyone wanted to see if it was true, as he claimed, that Li Xue had blackmailed him.
If it was true, then he should beat Xue Yi severely to prove he was coerced by her.
To prove his sincerity in apologizing and his sincerity in saving this marriage.
Tang Zhongcheng's hand holding the whip trembled slightly.
He took two steps forward, approaching Xue Yi.
"Mmm... mmm... mmm..."
...
Xue Yi, on the ground, glared venomously at Tang Zhongcheng.
At this moment, if she could speak, she would have gone all out and revealed the matter of Tang Yiyi.
To completely tear open Tang Zhongcheng's ugly face.
"Mmm... mmm..."
...
Tang Yiyi watched Tang Zhongcheng about to hit Xue Yi and was very scared.
She did not want Tang Zhongcheng to return to the family, because if he did, she would truly have no one to rely on.
"Dad... Xue Yi... she seems to have something to say. Why don't we listen to what she has to say first."
As soon as she heard this, Tang Zhongcheng didn't dare to hesitate. He raised the whip in his hand and lashed it fiercely at Xue Yi.
Crack!
Crack!
...
The whip struck Xue Yi, and she writhed on the ground in pain, whimpering.
A one-sided abuse by Tang Zhongcheng unfolded in the living room of the Tang family.
Zhang Meiyu looked coldly at Xue Yi, whose face was contorted in pain on the ground, and a hint of satisfaction involuntarily curved her lips.
If she wasn't doing well, she certainly wouldn't let Xue Yi and Tang Zhongcheng have an easy time.
The real show was yet to come.
Not long after, Xue Yi's body began to bleed from the whip strikes, looking very frightening.
After a brutal beating lasting more than ten minutes, Xue Yi finally couldn't bear it any longer and fainted on the spot.
However.
Zhang Meiyu had not said to stop, and the sons were all watching coldly, none of them calling to halt.
Tang Yiyi, afraid that Xue Yi would be beaten to death, quickly knelt in front of Tang Zhongcheng, grabbed his whip-holding hand, and tearfully pleaded.
"Dad, stop hitting her. If you continue, someone will die. Dad..."
Tang Zhongcheng threw Tang Yiyi aside. This burden...
If it weren't for Tang Yiyi, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Seeing this, Tang Yiyi knelt before Zhang Meiyu again, begging piteously.
"Mom, I beg you, please ask Dad to stop. I beg you... if you keep hitting her, Xue Yi will be beaten to death...
Please spare her... she has been with us for over twenty years, always working diligently, Mom..."
Zhang Meiyu kicked Tang Yiyi away, her eyes cold.
"You ungrateful wretch. I raised you for nearly twenty years, and now you're pleading for a mistress. You truly are ungrateful. It was right to kick you out of the Tang family."
"Mom... I didn't... Mom..."
...
Tang Yiyi stumbled forward, hugging Zhang Meiyu's leg, desperately pleading for Xue Yi.
The Tang brothers saw Tang Yiyi being shunned by her mother and felt heartache for her, but their mother was furious at the moment, and they exchanged glances.
Seeing Tang Yiyi crying so hard, Tang Xu couldn't bear it and said,
"Mom, if you keep hitting her, you'll kill her. It won't be good if someone dies."
Hearing this, Zhang Meiyu looked at Tang Xu with a complicated expression.
"You think I'm being too excessive, don't you?"
"When I was fighting for my life in the hospital, what was I then?"
Hearing this, Tang Xu dared not speak.
Tang Zhongcheng stopped. If he continued hitting, he would truly beat Li Xue to death.
Seeing that Tang Zhongcheng had stopped, Zhang Meiyu said venomously, "Tang Zhongcheng, as long as you beat Li Xue to death, I will forgive you. What are you waiting for? Do it!"
At this moment, Zhang Meiyu's demand was extremely cruel.
Tang Zhongcheng's hand holding the whip trembled, and he gritted his teeth.
Zhang Meiyu's demeanor was not giving him a chance to be forgiven.
She was clearly deliberately making things difficult for him.
"Li Xue has already been beaten like this. Isn't that enough?"
Enough?
How could it be enough?
Zhang Meiyu's pain was life-threatening, and her emergency hospitalization was the best proof.
Now Li Xue was just beaten, with only superficial wounds. She felt it was nowhere near enough.
"Tang Zhongcheng, if you don't beat Li Xue to death today, we'll meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning. If you don't go, I'll sue you. Don't blame me for not showing you any mercy."
Hearing this, Tang Yiyi cried even more despairingly.
Tang Yu couldn't help but try to persuade Zhang Meiyu.
"Mom, please calm down. Dad has already shown a lot of sincerity. Give him a chance."
However.
Zhang Meiyu remained unyielding.
"For me to forgive Tang Zhongcheng, Li Xue must die!"
...
Tang Zhongcheng looked at Zhang Meiyu with a solemn expression and finally realized.
"You never intended to forgive me, did you?"
"You just gave me a little opportunity so I would beat Li Xue half to death, right?"
"You're just seeking revenge!"
A wicked curve appeared on Zhang Meiyu's lips.
She actually laughed looking at Tang Zhongcheng's furious and exasperated appearance.
"Tang Zhongcheng, I genuinely gave you a chance. Now Li Xue is barely hanging on. You just need to hit her a few more times, and she'll be dead, and everything will be over."
"As long as Li Xue is dead, I won't divorce you, and you can return to this home to live with me and the children. The opportunity is before you. Whether you seize it or not is entirely up to you."
Tang Zhongcheng said furiously, "How can you be so vicious?"
Hahaha.
Zhang Meiyu laughed.
"I'm vicious because you forced me to be."
"It seems you can't bear to beat Li Xue to death, so there's nothing more to say. Butler Wang, please escort them out."
Zhang Meiyu's complexion looked much better than before. She had finally figured things out and felt proud.
With the elegant steps of a victor, she turned and slowly walked back upstairs.
Her back was aloof and unyielding.
...
Tang Zhongcheng felt tricked by Zhang Meiyu and angrily threw down the whip.
Tang Xiaomin witnessed the entire spectacle and sneered.
"Hurry up and leave, or your mistress will die."
In the end, Butler Wang did not step forward to expel them.
In front of the Tang family's sons.
Tang Zhongcheng and Tang Yiyi helped Xue Yi and left the Tang family villa.
This act once again filled everyone with immense disappointment.
After this incident, Tang Zhongcheng also understood that Zhang Meiyu would not forgive him.
He no longer held any unrealistic fantasies about this marriage.
The next day.
At nine-thirty in the morning.
Zhang Meiyu and Tang Zhongcheng divorced at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
