Chapter 455 - Who Is Crueler? (1/2)

”I'll never agree to a divorce, never!” Li Manni gripped her hands tightly and spoke with force. It didn't sound like she was joking at all.

Chu Lui drank from the wine glass, lips thinning.

”You think you're able to do it, or do you think you'll have better tactics than Chu Lui?” Chu Lui mocked. ”You should be thankful that I'm not the cold and heartless Chu Lui 4 years ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here now; but your grave would already be growing grass. Perhaps you would be in jail already. ”

Li Manni walked near him and lowered her body, placing her hands on his waist and raising her head to look at him. ”Lui, you wouldn't do that. If I'm really dead, everyone would know about your infertility. The same goes if I were to end up in jail.

”You don't want everyone to mock you; neither do you want your parents or the Chu family become the subject of ridicule, right?” Her voice was very soft, but underlying it was a threatening tone.

Chu Lui slightly drew back his eyes, with his lips thinning. He placed down the wine glass in his hands and stretched out to grab Li Manni's chin. ”Actually, you don't know me at all.”

Chu Lui was not someone who would be threatened by someone. ”You think I don't dare, but you're wrong. I will never let myself be threatened by anyone or anything. At most, I'll just let people laugh at me. For someone who is so vain like you, your reputation would be totally destroyed. What would people think of someone who poisoned her own husband, making her husband a cuckold?

”Come tell, who will suffer more? I don't mind going down to hell with you. Me not doing anything to you doesn't mean that I don't hate you. On the contrary, the desire to kill you is so strong. I just don't want to dirty my hands.”

Chu Lui released his hand harshly, indeed feeling that his hands—the part that touched Li Manni—were dirtied.

In his life, he had met too many women; but only two made him irrational. One was Xia Ruoxin; the other, Li Manni. These two women…

He dumbly abandoned the one that he had been looking for, hurting the one that he should have treasured dearly. Even more dumbly, he married one that would cause him eternal regrets, one who was even threatening him now.

Did she know who she was threatening?

It was Chu Lui, whom everyone branded as heartless. He could simply use only one hand to make this woman's life like hell, just like Xia Ruoxin.

As if a falling leaf, Li Manni's body trembled. Her understanding of Chu Lui was still too simple; this man would not be that easily controlled and threatened.

”You better get to signing the divorce agreement quickly. If you don't want your parents to join you in becoming homeless—if you don't want to become poor and end up with nothing, you better listen to me.

”I'm already being very nice to you; don't challenge me and my patience. Otherwise, you'll be unable to handle the consequences. Trust me, you probably already know that I never exaggerate someone's consequences.”

Chu Lui back-faced her, picking up the wine glass, and walked towards the wine cabinet. He never saw Li Manni who had already fallen onto the ground. When he found out everything that she did to him, the last bit of pity and responsibility disappeared altogether.
