Chapter 365: Chapter 323 Tao Tao Divorce_1

"Stop talking nonsense, how can the inability to have a son be the man’s fault!" Mrs. Yu, being illiterate, naturally didn’t understand the biology of it.

Dean Lu couldn’t help but step forward to speak a word of fairness, "Old lady, Miss Xia is right. It’s the men who determine the sex of the baby. If you don’t blame the men, who else can you blame?"

"Moreover, we now live in an era of gender equality, where women can hold up half the sky. You’re a woman yourself, how can you still have such a severe bias favoring sons over daughters? You’re simply holding back the development of our country!" Dean Lu said a lot.

Mrs. Yu’s face immediately couldn’t hold up any longer, and she felt embarrassed and awkward.

But she didn’t dare lash out at the dean, so she could only secretly blame everything on Tao Tao, secretly planning to torture her severely during her confinement, to make her suffer various postnatal ailments!

"Alright, doctor, I know, no need to talk about this anymore, just hurry up and process our discharge." Mrs. Yu didn’t want to stay in this expensive hospital for another minute.

"You can’t be discharged." Dean Lu frowned, staring at her in amazement, obviously not expecting her to make such a request—it was too preposterous.

Mrs. Yu also furrowed her brows, demanding, "Why not?"

Since when did patients lose the right to discharge themselves?

Dean Lu said plainly, "Which cesarean section patient can be discharged on the same day? Besides, the pregnant woman has just been detoxified and is extremely weak, she needs to recuperate well in the hospital."

"What? Recuperate? How much money will that cost!" Mrs. Yu almost jumped up, sharply refusing, "No, that’s absolutely not okay! We have no money!"

Dean Lu: "..."

"No money?" Xia Ningxing crossed her arms and came up to her again. "You’re the one who caused Taozi to end up like this. Let me tell you, if you don’t bring out the money for her recuperation, I’ll report you for intentional harm right now."

With that, Xia Ningxing took out her cell phone to make the report.

Mrs. Yu immediately panicked and hurried to stop her, "How can you slander people like that, what do you mean I caused her to end up like this? How did I harm her?"

Xia Ningxing reminded, "The ’girl-to-boy’ medication you gave Tao Tao contained strong poison!"

"That’s impossible! That was medicine! It wasn’t poisonous!" Mrs. Yu staunchly denied, even turning the tables, "It could very well be that she ate something wrong herself!"

"Xiaxia, since she won’t admit it, let’s get this stuff tested and see if she still denies it," said an infuriated Tao Tao. With that, she handed the thermos from beside her sickbed to Xia Ningxing.

It was in the chicken soup in this thermos that Mrs. Yu had put the medication.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yu became anxious, fearful, and annoyed, glaring at Tao Tao with disbelief, not expecting her usually obedient daughter-in-law to dare to be so defiant: "Taozi, what do you mean by this? Are you saying you don’t want to be with my Hengzi anymore?"

Mrs. Yu was certain she wouldn’t.

She knew all too well just how much that girl usually adored her son.

But this time, Tao Tao was going to disappoint her.

"Yes! I just don’t want to continue living with your son!" said Tao Tao unequivocally.

Upon hearing this, both Mrs. Yu and Yu Heng were stunned.

Especially Yu Heng, who looked at her incredulously, as if he didn’t recognize her anymore, "Taozi, I haven’t even looked down on you for being infertile from now on, what right do you have to ask for a divorce?"

His tone carried a certain air of superiority, as if infertile Tao Tao were far beneath him.

With a laugh mixed with anger, Tao Tao, enduring the pain from the surgery, pointed at him, "Let me tell you, I’ve had enough of you, this mama’s boy!"

"Do you think I should keep you around for the New Year if we’re not divorcing?"

"And another thing! Don’t forget that my inability to conceive was caused by your mother. I told you that medicine was poisonous, but she secretly had me take it again!" Tao Tao sobbed while speaking, the grievances in her belly bubbling up to her throat.

She took a deep breath, forcibly held back her tears, turned her head away from him, and directly passed the lunchbox to Xia Ningxing:

"Xiaxia, since they won’t admit it, could you please help me find a place to check for poison? As for the testing fee, I’ll owe you for now and pay you back after I get my salary next month."

Just as Xia Ningxing was about to nod, Dean Lu eagerly took the lunchbox and said with a smile, "Let me handle this matter. I happen to know people at the testing lab, and with a quick word from me, the results will be out in no time."

If it were any other time, Dean Lu would certainly not bother intervening, but Xia Ningxing was different; he still needed her help in saving someone soon, so he naturally had to be more solicitous.

"Then I’ll trouble you," Xia Ningxing replied, since the sooner the results came out, the better.

True to his word, Dean Lu obtained the test results in twenty minutes, and they indeed confirmed the presence of a potent poison.

Mrs. Yu had nothing to say now.

Xia Ningxing, with her arms crossed, looked at the mother and son: "Now that you have nothing to say, hurry up and take the money to pay the hospital bills. Also, when you divorce, you’ll have to split half your family’s wealth with Tao Tao. As for the child, Tao Tao will have custody, and from then on, she will have nothing to do with your family."

Tao Tao must have suffered a lot at their hands over the years; Xia Ningxing naturally wanted the Yu family mother and son to bleed a little!

"Why should I?" Mrs. Yu shrieked. If looks could kill, Xia Ningxing would have been torn to shreds by now.

"Because now you’ve been caught red-handed by someone else!" Xia Ningxing curled her lip in a "what can you do about it" expression.

Mrs. Yu’s face instantly turned the colour of a pig’s liver, but she repeated the same sentence, "You can have the divorce, and she can have the child, but there’s no way she’s getting any money!"

She would never give their family’s money to that little wretch!

"Okay then, if you disagree, I won’t force you. I’ll just call the police!" Xia Ningxing sighed as if reluctantly and reached for her phone again.

"Don’t! Miss Xia! Please don’t call the police!" This time, it was Yu Heng who stopped Xia Ningxing. Though his face clearly showed reluctance, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, "I accept everything you’ve said."

If this matter became public knowledge, not only would his mother be arrested and detained, but he would also face disciplinary action from the research institute.

He couldn’t afford to lose his wife and his position.

Xia Ningxing was very satisfied with his understanding and took a document out of her bag straight away: "I’ve had someone draft a divorce agreement for you; just signing it will make it effective."

While waiting for the poison test, she had the legal affairs department at her mother’s company draft a divorce agreement and send it over.

When it was time to sign, Yu Heng clenched his teeth and looked at Tao Tao again: "Do you really want to divorce me?"

Tao Tao didn’t even glance at him, picked up the pen, and signed her name directly.

A woman of her word, of course, she meant to divorce!

Yu Heng’s face immediately stiffened, feeling both agitated and annoyed.

This woman!

He hadn’t even despised her for her body’s defects, and yet she had the audacity to kick him to the curb!

Damnable!
