Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Refusal to Meet
"Come back."
Lian Jun glanced at him and said, "Wait till your sister wakes up, then we’ll talk."
"If she were awake, would she agree?" Lian Qinghang thought of his sister’s gentle nature. She’s always been kind-hearted and gentle, but unfortunately, too much kindness can lead to being taken advantage of.
"This matter must be decided by your sister herself." Lian Jun maintained a stern expression. The Lian Family has stood up for Lian Qingxuan many times. If she herself is unwilling, then no matter how much they do, it’s useless.
Lian Qinghang’s tightly clenched fist suddenly loosened. Abruptly, he raised his hand and slammed it hard against the wall beside him.

Jing City.
Tang Yue knew nothing about what happened after Xue Zhiyuan fell into the lake.
Back in Jing City, Tang Yue took a simple rest in the afternoon and began to busy herself in the evening.
The Spring Festival was approaching fast, and the clothes for Xie Ni’s performance at the gala were just missing the final touch. After Xie Ni tries them on, they will only need a small adjustment.
At the end of the year, all sorts of accounts can make Tang Yue dizzy, and whether to add new production lines after the new year, and how many to add, are issues that need careful discussion.
Lian Qingyang was also extremely busy, almost living in the factory without having time to return home.
Si Yu originally wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Tang Yue, but who knew Tang Yue would be so busy?
Si Yu put the children to sleep and returned to the study, only to find her lying on the desk, still holding a pencil, but she had already fallen asleep.
"Honey, why are you so stubborn!" Si Yu sighed softly. He could earn enough to support Tang Yue, and besides, the Tang Family no longer had to live tight, borrowing money as they did in the past.
Tang Jun was doing exceptionally well in medical school.
Si Yu carefully picked up Tang Yue and placed her on the bed to rest, too concerned about her to impose his own desires.

Sea City.
In the hospital ward, Lian Qingxuan had slept all night. As she awoke in the morning, she felt quite bewildered, staring at the snow-white ceiling with a blank mind.
"Sister Xuan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Lian Qingling brought porridge inside and immediately noticed Lian Qingxuan was awake. She hurried forward, concerned.
Lian Qingxuan glanced at her, and slowly, the events of yesterday came back to her.
From Mrs. Xue’s verbal abuse to later slapping her, saying Xiao Yu and Xianxian were ungrateful wretches.
Later, she vaguely remembered standing up to persuade Qingzhi not to fight with her mother-in-law, and then...
"How is Qingzhi from yesterday? Was she hurt?" Lian Qingxuan asked.
"Fortunately, you know how Qingzhi is, like a tomboy, but it’s your mother-in-law who’s not doing well." Lian Qingling spoke cautiously. After Qingzhi fought back yesterday, Mrs. Xue was the one getting overwhelmed; her hair was pulled out in patches, her face scratched, and she fell, hurting her rear.
"Oh." Lian Qingxuan responded, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Lian Qingling blinked, feeding Lian Qingxuan the porridge before probing, "Sister Xuan, you..."
Once she began speaking, Lian Qingling didn’t know how to continue. It’s said to mediate rather than encourage separation, better to tear down a temple than break up a marriage. But in Sister Xuan’s case, she felt divorce would be better.
"..." Lian Qingxuan remained silent. No matter what Lian Qingling said, she acted as if she didn’t hear.
After Lian Qingling left the ward, Lian Qinghang furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you think my sister is thinking?"
"Perhaps she hasn’t decided yet?"
Lian Qingling replied uncertainly.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Xue complained to Xue Zhiyuan, cried at the hospital, and Xue Zhiyuan rushed over in anger, but didn’t even get to see Lian Qingxuan.
Lian Qinghang asked Lian Qingxuan if she wanted to see him, but she straight out said no.
That’s unprecedented, so Lian Qinghang naturally stood guard, preventing Xue Zhiyuan from approaching.
With Lian Qinghang there, Xue Zhiyuan dared not force his way in for fear of another beating.
For three days, Xue Zhiyuan didn’t see Lian Qingxuan. She rested in her ward, ate her meals each day, and when the children came, she was as tender as always, but never mentioned Xue Zhiyuan.
This time, Lian Qingxuan was evidently different, causing some concern among the Lian Family, who stayed close by her.
On the day of her discharge, Lian Qinghang asked, "Sister, where are you going?"
"Of course, home, to the house on Qingsong Road," Lian Qingxuan replied softly.
Qingsong Road was her birthplace, and from now on, it would be her home.
"Alright then."
Lian Qinghang joyfully packed her things.
Back at her family home, Lian Qingxuan returned to her own room, and that night, the three of them, mother and children, slept together.
"Mom, you should get divorced," Xue Yu suddenly said.
In the darkness, Lian Qingxuan’s tears fell suddenly.
"Uncle said that after the divorce, we won’t live with Dad and Grandma anymore." Xue Yu felt sorry for his mom, each time spotting Lian Qingxuan secretly crying, he wished he could quickly grow up to protect her.
"I don’t want to live with Dad and Grandma," Xue Xianxian chimed in.
Lian Qingxuan cried so hard she couldn’t speak, her children were still so young, yet...
She comforted them, saying, "Xiao Yu, Xianxian, don’t worry, mom will handle this. You just need to study hard. In the future, you’ll live at Grandpa and Grandma’s house. It’s a little far, you’ll have to get up early. Can you manage it?"
"We can manage."
"We can manage."
Xue Yu and Xue Xianxian responded in unison.
Lian Qingxuan held them both close, feeling content. She had been pondering how to broach the subject with her children.
Early the next morning, after dropping the children at school, Lian Qingxuan said, "Dad, Mom, Qinghang, I want custody of Xue Yu and Xianxian."
"You’ve finally decided to get divorced?" Lian Qinghang looked shocked.
Lian Jun and Mrs. Lian were astounded, seemingly unaware of how Lian Qingxuan had suddenly made up her mind.
"Yes, since there will be a divorce, some matters must be clarified," Lian Qingxuan decided, without any hesitation.
...
"You say Sister Xuan has decided to divorce?" Tang Yue was surprised upon receiving the call from Lian Qingzhi. Lian Qingxuan was usually indecisive and hesitant, lacking initiative, why so sudden and decisive now?
Lian Qingzhi relayed the story dramatically, with vivid emotions, detailing the sequence of events.
Tang Yue pondered for a while, acknowledging that Lian Qingxuan was indecisive, but not without resolve at times, like in this divorce matter. Although Xue Zhiyuan was unwilling to divorce or grant custody, Lian Qingxuan?
She directly took him to court, submitting evidence of Xue Zhiyuan’s infidelity during their marriage, as well as records showing none of his expenses were spent on the kids and he barely spent time with them.
