Chapter 448 - Untitled (2/2)

”Chu Lui, don't go too far!” This time, it was Mr. Li. He stormed in from the outside, pointing his finger at Chu Lui as he roared. ”No matter what, we are your seniors. How can a junior talk to his seniors like this? Didn't your parents teach you about manners?

”It is not up to Mr. Li to preach about how my parents brought me up.” Chu Lui narrowed his dark eyes. He walked over to Mrs. Li, took out something, and put it in front of her.

”Mrs. Li, you dropped something.”

With shaking hands, Mrs. Li took the thing that was handed to her.

”A man sent this to me a few days ago. I was hoping that it won't come in handy, but I think Mrs. Li will like it.” Chu Lui added.

Mrs. Li held the envelope with her trembling hands. There was something in there, but she didn't know what it was. A sense of crisis washed over Mrs. Li, and she quickly hid the envelope behind her.

Chu Lui left for his study. He came out a few minutes later, went to his car, and drove away. The whole process took less than half an hour. He didn't speak to the Li family members again. From that moment on, Mr. Li knew Chu Lui was no longer that son-in-law he used to be. Could it really be true that he wasn't the father of Li Manni's baby? He had harbored the thought of waiting for the baby to be born and take a paternity test since it was still in its first trimester. Perhaps, everything would be resolved once they had the DNA test. Where there's life, there's hope. Even if it turned out that Chu Lui wasn't the father, they wouldn't leave this place. They would stand their ground.

He took a very deep breath and went to open his bedroom door, intending to take a rest. When he entered the room, he saw his wife looking at something. Her back was facing him.

”What are you doing?” he suddenly asked. It gave Mrs. Li such a fright that she dropped whatever she was holding.

Those humiliating photos of hers scattered on the floor. Mrs. Li was n.a.k.e.d in them, and her wrinkled flesh was totally exposed. There were also a few photos of some men, and they were taken when the men were having s.e.x. The man in the middle of the group was his son, Li Manxuan. The faces of the other men were covered with mosaic except for Li Manxuan's face which was clear as day. Every expression and action had been captured clearly in the photos. The realistic nature of photos was very high, but these were equivalent to looking at them in real life.

”What have you done?” Mr. Li raised his hand, and a loud slap landed on Mrs. Li's face. In an instant, her aged face was swollen. The surrounding lighting shone on the photos that were scattered all over the floor. Mrs. Li and Li Manxuan's faces were on every one of those obscene photos. Mr. Li was utterly embarrassed. Fortunately, there were two people in that room. Otherwise, Mr. Li would have banged his head against the wall due to the embarrassment. He couldn't afford to shoulder the responsibility of these photos, and neither could he lose them.

Mrs. Li landed her buttocks on the sofa from the impact of Mr. Li's slap. She wailed as she covered her hand over her face. She stuttered as she tried to explain to her husband. However, what good would that do to them? They had the photos while the negatives were in someone else's possession. The Li family might be down on their luck now, but they used to be affluent, and many still recognized them. They could only imagine the consequence if the photos were leaked out. Their whole family would drown in the gossip with them as the main topic. Stepping out of their house would be wishful thinking much less starting another business. They would be buried under gossip before they could have the chance to rebuild their lives.

”Why are you still standing here?” He gave her a hard kick in her buttocks. ”Get up. Pick up the photos and burn them.”

Then, Mrs. Li started to do as he said clumsily. Each time her fingers touched the photos, she could feel her heart skip a beat. It was unbearable. She picked everything up and burned them all in the kitchen. Her clothes were soaked with her sweat by the time she was done.

”What do we do now?” She moved her face close to her husband. ”If anyone finds out, it would be the end for Manxuan and me. With me as the whore and our son selling his butt, we would be the biggest scandal of the century.”
