Chapter 260 - Have You Got No Conscience? (2/2)

Li Mu Bai took a couple of deep breaths before he followed everyone inside. When he stepped in into the house, Li Mu Bai could hear something crashed on the ground followed by his mother's ear-piercing scream.

”Li Jing, I'm telling you that I will not agree to this!' Zhao Wei shouted at her husband.

Li Mu Bai glanced at the scattered paper on the floor and guessed at what they were. The expression on his face did not change even if he saw the word 'divorce' written on the paper.

”Dad,” Lu Mu Chen pleaded with her face full of tears. ”You and mom have been married for so many years. Why do you want to divorce my mom right now?”

”You shut up,” Li Jing pointed his finger at his daughter. ”Go to your room. This is between your mother and me.”

Li Mu Chen opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself as she recalled what her father would do if he was angered. After standing still for a few seconds, Li Mu Chen then turned around and headed upstairs to her room.

Meanwhile, Li Mu Bai stood still behind the walls as he observed his parents quietly. As their son, Li Mu Bai was worried about what will happen. He decided to stay around and intervene when he needed to.

”Li Jing, you cannot do this to me,” Zhao Wei cried.

”This is not a discussion. Zhao Wei, you have no say in this matter. I have already filed for divorce. My dad was already informed of this. No matter what you think about it, we will divorce,” Li Jing said. ”You don't have to worry too much. Since we have been married for years, I will naturally divide our ȧssets well.”

Zhao Wei took a deep breath and walked over to her husband. ”Why?”

”Do you still need to question that?” Li Jing sneered. ”Zhao Wei, Yao Yao is my niece. She is my eldest brother's only child. How can you be so ruthless to try and harm her? Have you got no conscience? I'm afraid that if I continue to let you do whatever you like, you will bring more harm to my family. Before anything like that could happen, I should divorce you.”

”Li Jing! Don't you know why I did the things I did?” Zhao Wei tried to reason with her husband. ”I was doing everything for our family. I only wanted the best for our children!”

”Shut up!” Li Jing balled his hands into fists to control his anger before he would land a slap on her face. ”Don't you dare say that you were doing anything for our children. Everything you do, it was for yourself. Zhao Wei, do you think of me as an idiot? Do you think that I did not know of your feelings towards my late elder brother?”

Zhao Wei stiffened as she heard his words and her eyes started to shift. ”I don't know what you were talking about.”

”Of course you do. I might agree to marry you because my parents like you, but don't think that I didn't know that the reason you agreed to marry me was that you wanted revenge. You were mad that my brother chose Yao Yao's mom instead of you, right?” Li Jing chuckled mockingly when he saw the change of expression on her face. ”Who do you think I am? Do you think I wouldn't able to find out about something like this? What? Now you are unable to say anything?”

Zhao Wei felt something heavy pressing on her ċhėst as she continued to listen to his words. However, she could not find a word to deny his accusations.

Seeing that she was unable to come out with another word, Li Jing turned to leave. His steps halted and he turned around. ”Before I go, let me remind you. Just don't go and mess out with Yao Yao again lest you upset both Zhang and Qi's family. Zhao Wei, it's fine if you wanted to destroy yourself, but don't drag us down. Just stay here quietly here until your trial begins.”

Li Jing grimaced at the thought that he might offend the higher-ups if he upset the Qi's family. They were his superiors! What was Zhao Wei trying to do when she tried to find trouble with them?

After saying his last words, Li Jing then left.

Meanwhile, the two siblings who were hiding and eavesdropping at their parents' conversation had two different expressions on their faces.
