Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Si Weimin, see you in court

"Caizhen, it’s not what you think, don’t divorce Weimin, I swear to God, we are absolutely innocent. Everything is my fault, I shouldn’t have come to Kyoto. As long as you two are okay, I will leave tomorrow and never come to Kyoto again."

Lin Fengying tried to reach out and take Yuan Caizhen’s hand, but she backed away.

Yuan Caizhen felt as disgusted with Lin Fengying as she did with Si Weimin, "Stop pretending now. How am I supposed to believe you two after everything that has happened? You have the audacity to do such things but not the guts to admit them? If you are so sure, take Xiaohui for a parentage test to see who her real parents are."

On hearing the words ’parentage testing’, Lin Fengying, and Si Weimin both blanched. No one dared to make a sound. There indeed was a thing called DNA testing now, which could verify parentage.

If they were to really test, everything would be clear and Xiaohui and others wouldn’t be able to carry on. Thus, neither Lin Fengying nor Si Weimin dared to agree to the test.

Seeing their guilty reactions, any remaining hope Yuan Caizhen had was utterly obliterated. She angrily wished she could take a piece out of Si Weimin.

Her eyes were filled with disgust and despair, "Si Weimin, see you in court."

It wasn’t until Yuan Caizhen had been gone for quite a while that Lin Fengying seemed to have come back to her senses. With a look of panic and unspeakable joy at the thought of Yuan Caizhen wanting to divorce, she wondered.

If they did divorce, would Si Weimin stay with her and Xiaohui, living together like a family?

But Lin Fengying knew she couldn’t voice these thoughts. Seeing Si Weimin’s gloomy face, she choked back tears of self-blame, "Weimin, what do we do now? It’s all my fault, I should never have come to Kyoto. You shouldn’t worry about me, you should go to Caizhen and explain. You’ve been married for so long and have a child, you cannot afford to divorce."

Si Weimin was in no mood to comfort Lin Fengying. With everything that had happened, he knew that he most likely wouldn’t be able to save his marriage.

"Sister-in-law, indeed, it’s not easy right now. Since Caizhen believes that we have a relationship, she will definitely make a fuss about it for a while, and I won’t have time to look after you either. How about you and Xiaohui go back to Li City for now and wait until I’ve resolved things on my end, then I’ll bring you back."

Upon hearing that Si Weimin indeed intended to send them away, Lin Fengying, even though she didn’t quite want to go, still agreed due to his serious expression, "Alright, I will leave tomorrow. You have to talk to Caizhen properly, don’t divorce if you can help it. The child is so grown up, the divorce will also badly impact him."

"I know," responded Si Weimin, not in the mood for further discussion. After what happened, he didn’t dare to walk side by side with Lin Fengying anymore. The two returned to their residence separately, where Xiaohui and Song Yu were sitting on the bed munching on sunflower seeds while watching a popular drama.

Xiaohui’s face fell instantly when she heard about the plan for them to go back to Li City. She threw the sunflower seeds on the ground in a fit of tantrum, "I’m not going back. Uncle, didn’t you say you’d help me open a shop in Kyoto? Now that you’ve bought a TV, you just want to get rid of me, right?"

When they left, he promised to help her, and now he was going to send her away. Who could accept such a change?

Besides, she had just thoroughly offended her sister-in-law. If she went back to Li City, wouldn’t that be like throwing her into a pit of fire?

Thinking this, Xiaohui continued to protest, "Uncle, isn’t this also Tong Yao’s idea, right?"

"It doesn’t have much to do with her." Si Weimin didn’t know how to explain to Xiaohui. Right now, he didn’t have the energy to consider Xiaohui’s feelings, "Xiaohui, you first go back and stay for a while. Once I have dealt with things here, I’ll bring you back."

His own family was on the brink of collapse and Si Weimin had no energy to take care of Xiaohui.

"Uncle, why do you want to send me back?" Xiaohui poked her lower lip and started crying, "You said you’d help me open a shop. Now not only have you not opened a shop, but you want to send me away. You are all enjoying the city life and sending me back to the bird-no-lay-shit village. Is our village a place for people to live?"

Xiaohui was no fool; she knew that if she was sent back this time, it would not be easy to return to the city.

Even if she could come back, would her uncle still care about her like he does now?

Although Xiaohui usually caused a fuss, now Si Weimin was feeling extremely troubled. Hearing Xiaohui cry and make a fuss, he ran out of patience, his tone becoming harsher, "Xiaohui, let’s put the shop matter aside for now. I promised to help you with the shop and I will definitely fulfill my promise in the future. You go back to Li City first and take care of yourself. If that doesn’t work, I can still open a shop for you in Li City."

Song Yu’s eyes lit up at the prospect of opening a shop in Li City, but Xiaohui only wanted to stay in Kyoto.

"Uncle, I don’t want to open a shop in Li City, I only want to open a shop in Kyoto. Li City is such a backward place. What’s the point of opening a shop there? Why can Tong Yao stay in Kyoto and open her shop, but I have to go back to Li City? I don’t want to go back."

She had a bad reputation in Li City, why would she go back?

It was so much better to stay in Kyoto! She was close to her uncle, had a backer, and money if she needed it. If she went back to Li City and her uncle stopped caring for her, she wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

Simply put, Xiaohui didn’t want to lose this money tree.

Seeing Si Weimin running out of patience, Lin Fengying hurriedly tried to appease the situation, "Your uncle is in a bad mood. If he asks you to go back to Li City, you should just go. If you don’t want to open a shop in Li City, you can always go back and play for a while then come back."

"I won’t." Xiaohui cried out, "I am going to stay in Kyoto. I’ll not go back no matter what. If you force me, I’ll just die."

Hearing this, Song Yu’s head was about to burst with worry. Unable to bear it any longer, he whispered, "Xiaohui, let’s listen to your mother and uncle and go back first. We can take this opportunity to hold the wedding. Once your uncle is done over here, I’ll come back with you. Actually, opening a shop in Li City isn’t bad. We can open a milk tea shop in the No. 2 secondary school. I’m sure we can make money."

"You go back if you want, but I won’t. If you force me, I’ll kill myself." Upon seeing that no one was on her side, Xiaohui played her trump card.

The four of them discussed until midnight. In the end, unable to convince Xiaohui, they decided to compromise: they arranged for Song Yu and Xiaohui to move to another apartment and find a job first. The shop matter would wait, and Xiaohui had to compromise as long as she didn’t have to go back.

As for Lin Fengying, she returned to Li City the next day.

After organizing for mother and daughter, Si Weimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his wife was not seeing her sister-in-law and niece, her anger would subside greatly.
