Chapter 447 - Move Out? Over Their Dead Bodies (1/2)
”Xiao Juan,” she called out for the maid.
The tiny-framed maid wiped her hands and ran out. Good. The real mistress was here.
”Pack their things up and get them to move out as soon as possible.”
Xiao Juan was elated. She almost jumped with joy when she heard that. Great. This family was finally moving out. If they had stayed any longer, she would quit her job because they were simply being too difficult.
She went and packed their things up promptly.
”Song Wan, what is the meaning of this?” Mrs. Li stood up violently. She pointed her finger in Song Wan's face and scolded, ”Have the dogs eaten all your conscience in the Chu family? My Manni has been married into your family for four years. She has never done anything wrong to your family. Now, you are chasing us out of the house? Aren't you also chasing your grandchild out, too?”
”Fine. Let's go. Get the divorce right now.”
”Good. Let them divorce immediately.” The gloom finally showed on Song Wan's face.
Mrs. Li was feeling smug when she mentioned the word 'divorce'. She had no fear because she was certain that Song Wan wouldn't desert her grandchild, and so she was constantly talking about it. At this juncture, Song Wan would smile and pacify her, but she would never respond in kind. Right now, she had actually said it.
Mrs. Li was shocked beyond words. Mr. Li, on the other hand, glared at her. Out of all things, why would she talk about the divorce? Great. He wanted to see how his wife was going to round this up.
”I…” Mrs. Li opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say next. She was full of arrogance mere seconds ago, and now, she was behaving like a deflated balloon. It was gone.
”Please move out of here quickly.” Song Wan didn't bother to go on. ”I will be back tonight, and I hope you will be gone by then. Or else, I will use force to chase you out. As for the divorce, I hope you will agree to it quickly, too.”
”It's not like that, Mrs. Chu. It's a misunderstanding.” Mr. Li intercepted quickly trying to put in a good word. His face was burning with embarrassment. This was the first time he was being humble. Everyone had treated him with respect especially after Chu Lui became his son-in-law. Who could be more impressive than him in his social circle? Yet now, he was pleading humbly to another like a dog.
”I'm not mistaken.” Song Wan cut him off. ”Haven't you been asking for a divorce? Fine. We'll let them get a divorce. As for the baby…” Her line of vision stopped on Li Manni. ”We don't want someone else's child. Our family may be rich. We can donate money, threw it away, squander it or even burn it, but we won't raise another man's child.”
Li Manni went pale as her body became overwhelmed with a chill. It went from her sole all the way to her head. She placed her hand on her stomach. Her fingers were gripping so tightly that her knuckles were turning white.
This child… she had never doubted that her baby wasn't Chu Lui's. Even if it really wasn't, she would insist it was. She didn't allow this incident to affect her status in the Chu family. All because of this baby, she had managed to stay in the Chu family. Otherwise, with Chu Lui's temper, she would be long gone.
