Chapter 2: Tearing up the contract

"I'm sorry... I'm going to the ward to see her right now, believe me, I will never mention the word 'divorce' to her again!"

Xu Tian gripped the divorce agreement in his hand, a wave of remorse in his heart, and immediately turned to find Tang Bingyan.

But his words did not change Chen Xiaoxiao's opinion!

What he got in return—was her sarcasm and cold sneer!

Chen Xiaoxiao blocked Xu Tian's path, the words she spat out colder and more biting than ever: "Xu Tian! You are truly ruthless, do you have to kill Tang Zong to be satisfied!"

"Do you know how serious Tang Zong's injuries were yesterday! When I was checking the car today, the seat was covered in blood! Covered in blood!!"

"But the first place she went wasn't the hospital, but to find you! She was still foolishly worried about whether you were seriously injured!"

"But what were you doing? You were rolling in the sheets with some other woman of ill repute!"

"Xu Tian!"

"I beg you, let her go! Stop hurting her, okay? In over twenty years, she has never been this humble! You have truly trampled on all her pride and favoritism!"

Boom—

Every single word!

Was like a thousand needles, stabbing into Xu Tian's heart!

Never had he felt such self-reproach and remorse!

How could she be so foolish? She would rather die from blood loss than not confirm his safety.

Xu Tian, you were truly a bastard in your previous life!

To have such a good wife and not want her, instead listening to the Xu family's instigation to hurt her repeatedly!

"Hoo..." Xu Tian's fingers turned white from gripping them so hard.

He turned his head abruptly.

Looking at Assistant Chen, whose eyes were brimming with tears, he said with powerful, heartfelt conviction: "Assistant Chen! I, Xu Tian, swear on my life, from today on, I will never let her suffer even the slightest harm again!"

"This marriage, unless I die, will absolutely not end in divorce!"

After speaking—

Xu Tian turned and disappeared at the doorway.

Chen Xiaoxiao watched Xu Tian's departing back, listening to the words echoing in her ears, and stood there completely stunned...

What did he say?

Swearing on his life that he wouldn't hurt Tang Zong's heart again...

Is this really the aura a piece of trash from the Xu family could have?

Is this really something Xu Tian could say?

No... impossible, he must be faking it! How could Xu Tian possibly have woken up? He must be trying to win benefits and projects for the Xu family again!

At the same time, in the No. 9 VIP ward.

"Tang Zong, I represent the Xu family in offering you a solemn apology. We never expected that Young Master Xu Tian would actually take advantage of your favoritism to do such a despicable thing..."

"Are you finished?" A cold female voice interrupted Xu Zongguan's next words: "How he is is not for you to discuss."

Xu Zongguan's face stiffened slightly, and he cursed the bitch who was throwing herself at a piece of trash in his heart!

That piece of trash Xu Tian cheated, and you're still protecting him?

You're even willing to hand over the Yan Group just so the Xu family will treat him well in the future!

You truly deserved to be pushed down the stairs by that piece of trash and almost killed!

However, Xu Zongguan immediately suppressed his dissatisfaction, put on a smile, and bowed slightly as he handed a document to the woman on the hospital bed.

"Tang Zong, this is the transfer contract we have already prepared, could you sign it?"

The woman lying on the hospital bed swept a cold gaze over Xu Zongguan.

Her face, even with its pale, haggard, sickly appearance, was still aggressively beautiful.

Especially that aura of 'mortals are not worthy of approaching me' that made it difficult for Xu Zongguan to even breathe.

But thinking of the benefits about to be in his hands, Xu Zongguan tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart and smiled again: "By the way, Tang Zong, I remember you still have twenty percent of the shares in Su Logistics."

"And at Li Bank, the one hundred million fund you bought for Xu Tian is also about to mature!"

"Since you are leaving Jiangcheng, Young Master Xu Tian hopes you will transfer all of these to the Xu family."

"This is the contract, just sign it."

"..."

Tang Bingyan's pupils reflected Xu Zongguan's ugly face as he pushed for more.

She was so weak that her fingertips holding the pen were trembling!

Her calm eyes scrutinized the smiling Xu Zongguan.

How many times has it been... how many benefits has the Xu family taken from her?

She couldn't remember.

Because, as long as they brought up the name Xu Tian, she would unconditionally agree.

Because the Xu family was his family, and he was so eager for family affection...

Forget it.

After today, she and Xu Tian would have no more connection, and these things were originally meant for him anyway...

"Fine, I'll sign."

Once this is signed, everything will be over, everything must end...

Tang Bingyan's fingertips trembled slightly; she gripped the pen, about to sign her name on the transfer contract—

But just at this moment!

"Bang—!"

The ward door was suddenly pushed open with great force!

Xu Tian looked at the contracts held in Tang Bingyan's hand, so angry he could barely breathe!

He suppressed his hatred for the Xu family and looked calmly at the woman on the hospital bed.

Instantly!

His eyes turned red, and he trembled all over with self-reproach: "Bingyan..."

Right arm fractured! Kneecap cracked! The injury on her back was aggravated, requiring over a dozen stitches.

His wife was so seriously injured in a car accident, and in his previous life, he had actually listened to that 'good brother' Xu Rixin and thought she was faking it! That she was trying to win his sympathy?

How could he! How could he be such a bastard!

"The assets you wanted, I have already arranged for my lawyer to transfer them to your name. After the divorce procedures are finished, the handover can proceed."

"The Yan Group, as you wished, is gifted to the Xu family."

"You don't need to endure your disgust for me to confirm this in person, you can go now..."

Tang Bingyan didn't dare to look up at Xu Tian; she was afraid that if she looked one more time, she would soften her heart and be unable to let him go.

She gripped the pen with her trembling right hand, pretending to be calm as she began to sign—

However...

"Rip!"

"Rip—!"

Xu Tian snatched the documents from Tang Bingyan's hand, and under Xu Zongguan's disdainful and sinister gaze! He tore them directly into shreds!

"!!!" Xu Zongguan was stunned for three seconds.

"Young Master Xu Tian, have you lost your mind? This is the Yan Group transfer contract! Tang Zong previously promised to transfer it to the Xu family, you! You..."

In front of Tang Bingyan, Xu Zongguan ultimately didn't dare to curse out loud.

But his eyes looked as if he wanted to tear Xu Tian into a thousand pieces!

Xu Tian restrained his hatred and turned his head, his eyes staring unfathomably at Xu Zongguan!

That one look made Xu Zongguan's hair stand on end.

Before Xu Zongguan could figure out the reversal in Xu Tian's attitude, he heard Xu Tian sneer:

"When did she ever promise to transfer the Yan Group to the Xu family? What she promised to give, was always to me!"

"Everything is based on whether I want it!"

"Now I don't want it! Take your people, immediately, right now! Get out of here—"

Xu Tian's sudden angry outburst shocked everyone in the ward into silence.

"You, you..."

Xu Zongguan stared at Xu Tian in disbelief, so angry his teeth were chattering.

He couldn't believe that a mere adopted son would dare to speak to him like this!

If it weren't for seeing that he still had value to exploit, and if it weren't for seeing that Tang Bingyan couldn't do without him, this piece of trash would have been abandoned by the Xu family long ago!

Not only was this piece of trash not grateful to the Xu family, he even dared to resist the Xu family's decisions.

He's rebelled!

He's truly rebelled!

However, no matter how angry Xu Zongguan was, he had to be wary of Tang Bingyan on the side.

Soon, he suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke:

"Young Master Xu Tian, don't joke around. You were adopted by the Xu family since you were a child, the Xu family has raised you for over twenty years, isn't what's yours the Xu family's?"

"Hurry and let Tang Zong sign the contract, you will disappoint the Family Head and the Madam like this..."

Every time he used family affection to threaten Xu Tian, Xu Tian would compromise.

He believed that this time, it would definitely be the same.

However...

"I don't want to say it again."

"Get out!" ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
