Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 42

Shu Tian paused and answered the truth, "Yes."

After a few seconds of silence, Ye Junting loosened his grip on her wrist. His eyes were so deep that she could not see his emotions clearly. "Go."

Shu Tian quickly walked out of the private room, went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, wet the tissue and slapped it on her forehead. Fan Ming's words were all in her mind.

Back then, her father was investigated and punished for approving a business on the grounds of corruption and bribery. At that time, the cooperation partner was Baoyou Group, but Baoyou Group was not as large as it was now. That was their first year of joint cooperation with the government.

Shu Tian didn't know the details. All he knew was that Shu Changlei had been sentenced to 13 years by the double ruling. His family spent a lot of money to bail him out. With such a prison record, it was very difficult for him to find a job. His friends also avoided him. Shu Changlei could only survive by running a small retail business.

Speaking of corruption, in Shu Tian's impression, she had never felt that her family was particularly rich. They just had a normal well-off life.

But what she didn't expect was that Fan Ming, who acted as Shu Changlei's lawyer in the case back then, actually became the legal representative of Baoyou Group.

As the opposite party, no matter how negligent Baoyou Group was, it would not choose to use such a person. Moreover, it was a huge matter back then. Was the boss of Baoyou Group so lenient?

Shu Tian always felt strange. It must be complicated. She wanted to ask her father later.

Shu Tian was lost in thought when the phone in her pocket vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was Tang Zechen.

She picked it up. "Hello."

"Where are you?" The man's calm voice came from the microphone.

Shu Tian took the wet tissue off her forehead and threw it into the trash can. "I'm attending a social engagement."

"Let's meet when you're done."

"If you have anything to say, say it on the phone. We may not be able to meet in time." Most importantly, Shu Tian didn't want to see him now.

The other party pondered for a moment, then spoke again after a long time. "You want to talk about divorce, so let's sit down and talk."

Shu Tian paused and was a little wary of Tang Zechen's sudden change of attitude. "Why did you suddenly come to your senses?"

"Mengyao is pregnant."

Shu Tian was still shocked even if she was mentally prepared. Jiang Mengyao was pregnant...

She couldn't help but think of Liu Lifang. Shu Tian knew best how much she wanted to have a grandson. Back then, when she married Tang Zechen, she had been urged to get pregnant from the moment they got married. Now, Liu Lifang finally got what she wanted. Not for Jiang Mengyao, but for her grandson, Liu Lifang would agree to the divorce.

Shu Tian thought that her heart would ache more or less, but she sadly realized that apart from the initial surprise, she was much calmer than she thought.

Her emotions had long been consumed by Tang Zechen's pestering.

"Come out. I've booked a room in Hongding Club, A301. Let's make it clear face to face."

...

After coming out of the bathroom, Ye Junting waited for her at the entrance of the tea house. The man was dressed in formal suit. He stood under the bright light. He was tall and straight with long legs, which made him very eye-catching.

Occasionally, a young waiter passed by and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Seeing Shu Tian coming over, Ye Junting put away the phone in his palm and said, "I'll send you back."

"No need. I have to go somewhere else."

Ye Junting's deep eyes fell on her face. "A date?"

"No." Shu Tian sighed helplessly. "I'm going to discuss about divorce."
