Chapter 436 - Mom Has Let You Down (1/2)
“It is not up to you to decide on whether it is going to happen.” Old Master Li was furious. “The company’s shares, everything in this family and house… you will not get a penny. Get out of my house.”
He was as vicious as he was angry. He used to be so happy with his son-in-law, but now he only thought about how disgusting Su Chenghui was.
Su Chenghui knew that this matter would not blow over so easily, and he thought he was ready to take responsibility for everything. However, this did not include divorce.
“Dad. Qianxue. This is entirely my fault. I admit that I was young and impulsive then. You can punish me as much as you want. But I will never agree to divorce Qianxue.”
“You have no choice. I’m going to kick you out of the Li house. Get out. Get out of the house right now!”
Old Master Li was pumped up with fury. As he was talking, he was unwittingly knocking his cane hard against the floor.
Compared to the level of agitation that Old Master Li displayed, Li Qianxue was much calmer. She patted her father’s hand and turned to face Su Chenghui.
“If we don’t get a divorce, should I continue to let you torture me this way?”
Su Chenghui looked at her. His lips seemed to move, trying to say that he had no intention of torturing her, but he could not manage the words.
Li Qianxue sneered, and her voice was cold as ice. “Su Chenghui, for so many years, you have used my love like a crutch, and you have recklessly tortured and humiliated me. Because I loved you, I was able to endure it all, time and again. Now I don’t want to endure it any longer. I’m telling you now that I want to divorce. ”
Su Chenghui grew anxious. He stood up and wanted to grab hold of Qianxue’s hand.
“Qianxue, I don’t want a divorce. I can promise you, I would rather do anything but that.”
“Go away. Get out of my sight. I don’t want to see you,” Li Qianxue waved his hand away.
Su Chenghui had suffered two strikes on his shoulders before. While Master Li was old in age, his hands had been through the practice of hard work, so those were pretty hard strikes.
This time, dismissed by Li Qianxue, he took two steps back. The movement hurt him, but he couldn’t care less about the pain now.
“Qianxue.”
“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue looked at him and seemed to understand the worry he must be feeling. “You can rest easy. Although you been unkind to me, I will not be unjust to you. Over the years, you have also contributed to the Su family. I will not let you leave the house empty-handed. You can now go to find a lawyer and write out the terms for our divorce. As long as your demands don’t go overboard, I will agree to them. ”
“Qianxue, I didn’t mean that at all.”
“I don’t care what you meant. I don’t care and I don’t want to know. I want you to leave this house, leave the Li family.”
“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui was truly anxious this time. He was okay with not having any money, or the Li inheritance or even anything to do with the Li legacy at all.
But he could not get a divorce, he would not agree to it.
“Go out. Su Chenghui, I’m telling you that I don’t want to see you anymore. I never want to see you again, not right now, not ever.”
“Qianxue, I was wrong. It’s all my fault. I beg you, will you please give me another chance?”
“Get out. You do something like this and still think I should give you another chance? Don’t even think about it.”
Li Qianxue didn’t want to talk to him anymore and tried to drive him away again. Because he knew about how determined she could be, Su Chenghui could not help but turn to Old Master Li and Su Yuxin.
Old Master Li ignored him completely. Su Yuxin watched this series of unfortunate events unfold today. He did feel some level of sympathy for his father, looking at him like this, especially when he was taking a beating earlier.
He did feel sorry for Su Chenghui’s present state. However, mixed with that pity was also hatred.
Meeting Su Chenghui’s eyes, he had to turn his head and look away. No matter how bad Su Chenghui was, he was also his biological father. He couldn’t bear to look at him like this.
There was the sound of a car outside the door. Li Qianxue had wanted to drive Su Chenghui away, but now she forgot all about him.
She hurriedly rushed to the door, had not even noticed that she hurried right past the coffee table, and almost knocked it over.
“Mom, be careful.”
Su Yuxin uttered a warning. Li Qianxue stood firm. She looked at Su Yuxin, and then at Old Master Li.
Old Master Li had not gotten his emotions in check yet, but he also understood then that Su Qingsang had come back.
He was different from Li Qianxue. He had only just heard the news and did not even have the time for it to sink in, but already he was just as anxious to see Su Qingsang.
Li Qianxue was just about to rush out, but she was still worried about Old Master Li, so she decided to stay with him. She stood right there, fidgety as ever.
She had half a mind to go up to welcome her, and yet she could not restrain the nerves that she was feeling.
As she was struggling with this, Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had already both come through the door.
Su Qingsang had been restless on the journey here. From knowing the truth about her history to accepting it, she had spent a lot of time digesting the news.
After finally getting used to the fact, she had decided to let the matter go. Then, however, it just had to happen that Li Qianxue would find out about the whole thing.
The secret she wanted to keep hidden could no longer be concealed. She was not ready for all of this. How was she going to face Li Qianxue?
All she knew was that she just wanted to see her and that she would see her right there and then.
However, when she finally did stand at the doorway, she felt fear creep in. She was sitting in the car and for a moment, didn’t even dare to step out.
Huo Jinyao had tugged on her arm to get her out of the car, and once she was out, she took very quick steps at one point and slowed down to a crawl right after that.
It didn’t take more than a few minutes to walk through the garden. Very soon she was at the door.
“Go on in,” Huo Jinyao pushed her gently as she hesitated, and got her through the door.
