She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 352: Bearing a Grudge

Chen Lingmeng was stunned when she heard his words; she had never expected him to say something so hurtful.

But why? She was doing all this for him, she loved him so much. Shouldn’t he be moved, moved to tears, desiring to marry her?

Why was it different from what she had imagined?

Chen Lingmeng couldn’t understand. All she wanted was to marry him; she didn’t care about pride or dignity. She stared at his retreating figure and said, "Pei Yansi. I want you to marry me!"

Pei Yansi let out a cold laugh, unable to believe she was still like this, impervious to reason, and suddenly felt that it was meaningless, even terribly boring.

He almost wanted to leave.

The female antagonist who wanted to see him was so indifferent; a fire ignited in his heart, and he said angrily, "If you can be so heartless, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. Sooner or later, I will make you marry me, no matter the cost—I’m willing to pay any price!"

"It’s just Shen Heyu, isn’t it? A plain and unremarkable woman? What does she have to compete with me? I will definitely make her pay the price and force her to withdraw willingly!"

Pei Yansi was taken aback when he heard her say this, and finally, unable to hold back, he stared at her and said word by word, "I’d advise you not to do that. If anything happens to her because of you, I will never forgive you."

Chen Lingmeng was now also acting recklessly out of despair. She spoke toward his retreating figure, "I won’t forgive you either. You’re the man I’ve liked for so many years, why should I just hand you over to someone else?"

At this moment, Pei Yansi only felt that she was being unreasonable to the point of insanity, absolutely crazy.

For the sake of a man, to become like this—Pei Yansi found it unworthy and uninteresting.

He no longer pitied her and left on his own.

Chen Lingmeng watched his retreating figure, with hatred surging in her heart again. No matter what it took, she was determined to make Shen Heyu pay the appropriate price.

The price for competing with her for a man.

After Pei Yansi left, Chen Lingmeng began to cry and wail. She couldn’t understand why her relationship with him had come to this point.

Mother Chen comforted her, "There are countless men in the world; why must you fixate on him? If he is unwilling to be with you, then just find someone else."

Chen Lingmeng bit her lip angrily and said, "Of course not, I must have him, and only him!"

Mother Chen sighed deeply, "Then what do you plan to do now?"

Mother Chen loved her daughter, but seeing her become like this over a man pained her as well.

Chen Lingmeng started scheming in her heart, a trace of malice flashing in her eyes, "You don’t need to worry about that. I will handle my own affairs."

Mother Chen, seeing her daughter like this, could not say anything more and sat quietly by her side.

In the afternoon, when Mother Chen went out to bring her food, the hospital room was left with only Chen Lingmeng alone.

She was contemplating how to make Pei Yansi bind himself to her forever when Chen Wenzhou walked into the hospital room from outside.

He casually closed the door behind him, practically locking it; no one outside could enter, and if she wanted to leave, she couldn’t.

But she wasn’t scared, just looked at him coldly, "What are you trying to do now?"

Chen Wenzhou wore a black trench coat, tall and upright, his trousers accentuating his straight legs.

He strode over to Chen Lingmeng’s bedside.

Looking down at her from above, he said, "This is just a small lesson I’m giving you."

Chen Lingmeng glared at him, "I can’t believe you’re so ruthless. What has Lu Yi done to you, for you to harm him so harshly!"

Chen Wenzhou said, "He can only be considered an innocent person, but what of it? I will stop at nothing to achieve my goal, and I won’t soften my stance for anyone. So think it over carefully, do you really want to continue fighting me for the Chen Family inheritance?"

Chen Lingmeng thought for a few seconds.

This brother and sister duo had come to this point today, all because of the Chen Family.

Chen Wenzhou wanted to obtain the Chen Family’s inheritance, but she had never thought about what she wanted from the Chen Family.

After all, she was to be married.

Taking those things might just result in her being devoured entirely by the other party, and in the end, it would still belong to someone else.

What use would it be then?

Although she didn’t want to admit it, indeed, these kinds of family assets were always safer in the hands of men than women.

Most women put love above all else. If she married Pei Yansi and received the Chen Family inheritance, she would undoubtedly hand it all over to him without hesitation.

In the end, the Chen Family wouldn’t even bear the Chen surname, so what was the point? It was just handing over a vast family business to someone else.

But if it were given to Chen Wenzhou, that would be different.

Therefore, Chen Lingmeng said, "I have never thought about fighting with you over anything. It’s all just your own imagination."

"I know you don’t want to fight me for it, but you haven’t explained why you don’t want the Chen Family," Chen Wenzhou said. "Mom and Dad still want to give it to you, so you are, in effect, competing with me without even realizing it."

"What if I said I am willing to just let you have it?"

Chen Wenzhou was taken aback when he heard this, lifting his head in disbelief to look at her.

"What are you plotting now?"

Chen Wenzhou’s understanding of her let him know that she was definitely not the type of person to relinquish something for nothing.

She must have another plan.

Chen Lingmeng did not conceal her motives. Knowing that Chen Wenzhou would see through her anyway, she said honestly, "I want to marry Pei Yansi, but only if you help me."

"I can’t help you."

Chen Wenzhou flatly refused, as he couldn’t make Shen Jiangli fall in love with her.

How could he possibly help her with something like that?

His answer caught Chen Lingmeng off guard, but she didn’t seem surprised. She simply stated, "I don’t need you to do much, just take another swing at me, hit me once more."

Hearing this, Chen Wenzhou’s formidable stature tensed, and he squinted his eyes, incredulously staring at her. "Have you lost your wish to live?"

Chen Lingmeng glanced at herself, "Aren’t I still alive right now? That means the force you used to hit me was all under your strict control. You know how to keep me from dying, yet still cause me severe injury."

Chen Wenzhou neither confirmed nor denied.

Chen Lingmeng continued, "I’ll be in the same car as Pei Yansi, deliberately make him drive the wrong way, and you take the opportunity to have someone hit us, preferably crippling one of my legs."

Hearing this, Chen Wenzhou figured out what she wanted to do.

He let out a cold laugh and looked at her as if she were a fool, "You really are naive. Do you think using this method will guilt him into staying by your side forever?"

"I know his personality, of course he won’t," stated Chen Lingmeng proudly. "But if I lose a leg because of him, Mom and Dad certainly won’t just let me suffer that loss so easily."

"At that time, they will take action and forcibly bind Pei Yansi to me."
