Chapter 446 - A Bunch of Shameless People (1/2)

It was nightfall. Mr. and Mrs. Li had been discussing for the whole evening.

”Will the Chu family agree?

Mrs. Li was feeling doubtful about this. After all, this was such a big house. If it was up to them, she definitely wouldn't give it away. Not even to her son and daughter-in-law. Would the Chu family really give it to them?

”He is my son-in-law. Can he deny what I want?” There wasn't an ounce of worry in Mr. Li. ”If only Chu Lui had lent us a hand in the first place, we won't be in this predicament with the dire state of our company and the house being foreclosed by the bank. This was what they owed us. Manni has been their daughter-in-law for four years, and now she is going to give birth to their heir. It is only right that they help us. Otherwise, we won't allow them to divorce, and none of the Chu family members will be able to see our maternal grandchild again.”

After hearing what her husband had said, Mrs. Li hardened herself. Actually, she was having some regrets. If she had only known that they would be staying here, they should have asked for the villa from Chu Lui. Anyway, this was not the only real estate that he possessed. They could have shifted here instead. When Li Manni was hospitalized, Mrs. Li had witnessed how badly Song Wan was trying to flatter them. If she had asked for this house in the first place, Song Wan would have given it to her without in a heartbeat.

Mrs. Li was dead set on wanting the house, and she wanted them to transfer the deed to her family.

Mr. Li only wanted the house. With a house this big, everything was open for discussion. Mr. Li and Mrs. Li had set their eyes on this house, and they would make sure they have it. Naturally, Mr. Li wanted the house and more. He would also like to have undeveloped land that came along with the house. With its accessibility, every inch of this real estate would be equivalent to gold in the future. Regardless of whether they wanted to sell it or construct a building, this plot of land would allow the Li family to make their comeback within a few years. Although Mr. and Mrs. Li were both absorbed in their own thoughts, they managed to sleep soundly on this night. They almost slept until morning.

How could they be so slow? Mrs. Li was famished, but the maid was too slow. She became impatient and rushed them constantly.

Meanwhile, the maid felt mistreated. Ever since this family set foot into the house, her workload had increased so much more. In the past, she only had to cook for two people. The master wasn't fussy with food. He wouldn't mind her cooking as long as it didn't taste too bad. However, it was an entirely different story with her mistress' family members. They wanted pork, chicken, and fish. It fl.u.s.tered her to have to kill a chicken or a fish every day. Her food tasted disgusting when she cooked too fast. Yet, if she was too slow, they picked on her, too.

How could they take everything for granted when they were living under someone else's roof? This was truly a weird family.

The sound of the main door opening could be heard coming from the outside. Soon, the door opened.

Song Wan entered. She scanned.

”Parent-in-law, you're here.”

Mr. Li asked as he got to his feet, smiling.

Mrs. Li snorted and turned her face away. She continued to put up the pretense of being angry.

”Mom.” Li Manni tugged at her mother's clothes. Then, she stood up and approached Song Wan. However, before she could touch her mother-in-law's clothes, Song Wan avoided her with hatred in her eyes. Li Manni halted. She was feeling puzzled as she wondered what had happened to cause Song Wan to act out in this manner. Her fingers paused in mid-air as she felt a sense of crisis.

Song Wan didn't wait for Li Manni to respond. She walked to the sofa and sat down. No wonder her son refused to come back here. The Li family had occupied this place thoroughly. They really thought of this place as their own house. Had they forgotten that this house had belonged to the Chu family?

”Mom, where is Ah Lui?” Li Manni took a sit close beside Song Wan out of habit. However, Song Wan avoided her again skillfully. The embarrassed Li Manni was at a loss as her hands fumbled to find a place to rest.

Song Wan masked her indifference perfectly.
