Chapter 179: Weighing the Pros and Cons
Chapter 179
Lu Feng hastily raised his right hand and swore, 'I swear that I will definitely leave the other woman. If I can't do it, may lightning strike me and may I be hit by a car when I step outside!'
Tan Xi Yuan remained unmoved and coldly laughed, 'What's the use of such a vow? Are you willing to swear on your illegitimate child? If you can't fulfill your promise, the consequences will fall on him!'
"You..." The old lady was so angry that she wanted to curse, but considering her current image, she forcibly held back.
Tan Xi Yuan looked at the old lady and said, 'Who are you? If he can really do it, what are you afraid of?'
Lu Feng looked sorrowful and said, 'I even made a solemn vow, but you still refuse to believe me. You want me to use our child to swear. Why is your heart so hard?'
"Yes, I have a hard heart. I don't believe you. So what? I want a divorce, no matter how you beg me, I won't agree. I've decided to leave this marriage, and no one can change my mind," Tan Xi Yuan said.
"This marriage cannot end!" Tan's father, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"Dad!"
Seeing her father speak, Tan Xi Yuan panicked. She had always respected her father. If her father didn't agree to her divorce, how could she leave this marriage? "Lu Feng has been with another woman outside and even has a child. Do you want me to help him raise his illegitimate child? I can't do it!"
Tan Xi Yuan felt so wronged that she was on the verge of tears.
"A man who is willing to kneel down and admit his mistake shows that he truly knows he was wrong. As long as he brings the child back and leaves that woman, your days can still go on," Tan's father said slowly, looking at Tan Xi Yuan.
Tan's brother couldn't stand it anymore and interjected, "Dad, why are you getting involved? My brother-in-law is having a child with someone else outside. What else is there to say? In my opinion, this marriage should end!"
With that, he looked at Lu Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, and angrily said, "So what if my sister can't have children? That doesn't give you a reason to cheat!"
"Brother, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. I really don't want to divorce Xi Yuan!" Lu Feng pleaded while kneeling on the ground.
"You don't want a divorce, but you still do such things. Who would believe you?" Tan's brother said.
"Then what do you want me to do to make you believe me?" Lu Feng asked.
"Words are not enough. Write a written guarantee that if you cheat again, you'll be kicked out of the house," Tan's brother said.
"I don't want that. I want to divorce him now!" Tan Xi Yuan quickly said. She didn't want to give him this chance.
"Xi Yuan, don't make a fuss. Your brother is right. Let him write a written guarantee promising not to cheat again. If we find out otherwise, then he'll be kicked out!" Tan's mother chimed in.
"Yes, that's a good idea. Lu Feng, are you willing to write it?" Tan's father asked Lu Feng.
Tan Xi Yuan also looked at Lu Feng. She wanted to see if he dared to write it.
Lu Feng looked around and saw everyone's gaze fixed on him. If he refused to write, then this marriage was definitely going to fall apart. But if he did write, the guarantee letter would have legal effect, and if Tan Xi Yuan used that guarantee letter to sue him, he would truly be left with nothing.
What should he do?
Lu Feng's brain quickly spun, weighing the pros and cons. After careful consideration, he decided to write the guarantee letter for now. He could just be more cautious in the future.
The most important thing now was to stabilize Tan Xi Yuan and persuade her to withdraw the lawsuit. As for the rest, he would figure out a solution later, step by step.
