Si Cheng continued driving calmly. “We’re going to the police station to change the children’s surname first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
Tan Ming could no longer remain calm. She widened her eyes and looked at Si Cheng. She raised his voice and questioned, “You lied to me?!”
Si Cheng didn’t even turn his head. He continued to look at the road ahead as he drove at a constant speed. “1 didn’t lie to you. It’s just that we’ll change the children’s surname today.”
They were about to get a divorce. How could Tan Ming let Si Cheng change the child’s surname? Wouldn’t that make things more chaotic? Seeing that Si Cheng had no intention of going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, she shouted angrily, “Stop the car! 1 want to get out!”
Si Cheng ignored her. Tan Ming’s knocks on the door were fruitless. She placed her hand on Si Cheng’s arm and glanced at him from the corner of her eye. She threatened, “If you don’t stop now, don’t blame me for making you unable to drive later. It’s rush hour now. If your car hits someone else’s, I’m afraid it won’t take anything less than half a day to deal with the traffic accident.”
Si Cheng gritted his teeth and glanced sideways at Tan Ming. “Looks like you’re determined to let my son take another man’s surname, right?”
She couldn’t tell him what was involved behind this matter, so Tan Ming could only choose not to answer. She looked at Si Cheng and said firmly again, “Stop the car!”
Tan Ming gradually tightened her grip. Si Cheng was afraid that Tan Ming would go crazy and not care about the consequences. He didn’t want to become a news figure in a financial newspaper with such an image, so he could only stop by the roadside.
Tan Ming got out of the car without hesitation. Si Cheng drove away with a dark expression.
Tan Ming looked at the small car that had merged into the traffic. The anger she had held in the car dissipated in an instant. She no longer had her imposing manner. She wilted and walked forward aimlessly.
There were many men and women rushing to work on the pavement. Tan Ming, who was walking slowly, looked especially discordant inside. When she came back to her senses, she had already walked to the Silver Sea Avenue in the beach area. As it was a weekday and daytime, not many people came here to look at the sea.
Tan Ming casually found a public seat under a big tree and sat down. She faced the road and was in a daze.
Tan Ming wanted to part on good terms with Si Cheng. After all, the two of them had children together. Furthermore, this was her first man. Their relationship was ultimately different.
Tan Ming recalled that when Si Cheng first woke up, although the two of them were a little unfamiliar, she could feel that Si Cheng had a good impression of her and was willing to cultivate a relationship with her. The two of them had a short date like lovers did. At that time, she thought that if she really made it out, Si Cheng would become the person who would bring her out of the mud of the Tan family.
However, this sweetness did not last long. Tan Si’s appearance shattered all of this. Tan Ming fell into the swamp again. It was that sweet past that made her want to work hard to win Si Cheng back. She also hoped to give the two of them another chance, but she was ruthlessly shot down by Si Cheng again and again until she gave up completely after giving birth…
A black Aston Martin was speeding along the road.
Zou Yi felt that the steering wheel of the car was pulling to the side a little, and there was an obvious turbulence as he drove. He immediately pulled over. He looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed through the rearview mirror in the car. “Boss, the tire seems to have been punctured by a nail. Please get out of the car and wait for me to change the tire.”
Zou Bai slowly opened his eyes. His peach blossom eyes looked a little seductive. The coldness in his eyes did not weaken, but instead added to his charm, making him look exceptional. “Hurry up.”
Zou Bai pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Zou Er, who was sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, quickly ran to the trunk and took out the triangular warning sign. He placed it 50 meters behind the car and started disa.s.sembling the tires.j
Although it was early in the morning, without any shade, the ultraviolet rays that shot directly into his skin were still a little vicious. Zou Er saw a tree and a bench two meters away from the car. Although there was a girl sitting on one side of the bench, there was still a lot of empty s.p.a.ce. He smiled eagerly at Zou Bai. “Boss, why don’t you go sit on the bench over there for a while?”
Zou Bai followed Zou Er’s gaze and his eyes flashed.
He didn’t expect to meet the woman who was on the show with Jiang Huai and called him, especially when he came to Sea City only once in a while.
That day, Zou Bai had gotten someone to investigate the source of the call. In less than an hour, Zou Bai saw all the results of the investigation, including the excerpt from the video of his conversation with Tan Ming.
Tan Ming felt someone looking at her. She instinctively looked over and met Zou Bai’s gaze..
