Chapter 687: Six hundred eighty-five, decision
He stepped forward, yanked Li Zhenzhen—who was still trying to dodge—over to him, and upon seeing the injuries on her face, Li Hui’s eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at Gao Meiyun and the Cheng Family members, "Do you people have any humanity at all?!"
With a look of disdain, Gao Meiyun curled her lip, "Your sister married into our family, making her one of us. If we want to beat or scold her, that’s our family’s business. If you have the guts, take her back with you. That’ll spare us the annoyance of seeing her!"
"You malicious, vile hag!" Li Hui was completely enraged, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, he raised his fist and furiously swung it toward Gao Meiyun.
"Don’t!" Li Zhenzhen and Meng Yujuan spoke out to stop him at the same time.
"Xiao Hui, don’t throw a punch," Li Zhenzhen hurriedly embraced Li Hui.
"This is the Cheng Family’s home. If you start a fight here, we’ll be in the wrong. Let’s take sis home and figure things out from there," Meng Yujuan came forward to persuade.
"Yes, Yujuan is right," Li Zhenzhen held Li Hui tight, keeping him from lashing out.
"This is the Cheng Family’s place, not somewhere for you to run wild!" Cheng Yiqun slapped the dining table hard and stood up, his gaze coldly settling on the three members of the Li Family.
"Throw them out!" Old Master Cheng ordered the butler standing by.
"You don’t need to throw us out; we can leave on our own!" Li Hui glared fiercely at the Cheng Family, then turned to Li Zhenzhen, "Sis, come with me! From now on, we’ll take care of you." He would never allow his sister to stay in such a home again.
"That’s more like it! But once you leave, don’t even think about coming back. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee she won’t be beaten again," Gao Meiyun sneered as she watched the three Li’s.
Li Zhenzhen let go of Li Hui and started to walk upstairs.
Li Hui quickly grabbed Li Zhenzhen, "Sis! How much longer will you suffer in silence?!"
"I’m going to get Xiao Ying; I can’t leave her behind," Li Zhenzhen said, then hurriedly ran upstairs. She could give up on everything else—but not her daughter. She couldn’t abandon her.
"It’s better if you take her; she’s nothing but a nuisance when she’s here," Gao Meiyun rolled her eyes, her face full of mockery and scorn.
Li Hui’s teeth gritted so loudly they could be heard, and had it not been for Meng Yujuan continuously holding him back, he would have already charged forward. He truly wanted to teach that old witch Gao Meiyun a lesson, regardless of the consequences.
"Don’t be angry, it’s not worth it with people like these," Meng Yujuan patted Li Hui’s back, comforting him. The Li Family did not have the strength to contend with the Cheng Family yet, but after she returned, she would ask Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo for help. She would definitely avenge her older cousin.
Li Zhenzhen quickly came down with Cheng Xueying in tow and approached Li Hui and Meng Yujuan, "Let’s go!" Once she had made her decision, she didn’t want to stay in this house any longer.
Meng Yujuan nodded, grabbing the still furious Li Hui and starting to walk outside. It was good that she had come; otherwise, he would have been the one to suffer.
Li Zhenzhen, with a heart turned deathly gray, looked toward the members of the Cheng Family, "I will divorce Cheng Junheng. My only condition is that Xiao Ying comes with me."
"This is what you wanted, so don’t regret it later. Get out! Don’t be an eyesore here anymore," Gao Meiyun sneered as she looked at Li Zhenzhen. As far as Gao Meiyun was concerned, Cheng Xueying was just a financial loss and taking her away would also save the Cheng Family some food.
Li Zhenzhen turned her eyes to Cheng Junheng, who was sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast with an indifferent expression on his face, "Tomorrow morning at nine, we’ll meet at the registry office." After speaking, she took Cheng Xueying and left without looking back. In truth, it wasn’t such a difficult decision for her to make.
"Mommy, are we going to Grandma’s house?" Cheng Xueying asked Li Zhenzhen, seemingly not fully understanding.
Li Zhenzhen nodded, "From now on, we’ll live at Grandma’s house. Are you happy about that, Xiao Ying?" She had never asked her daughter for her opinion from the beginning. She didn’t know how Xiao Ying would choose or if she was willing to follow her.
"Happy!" Cheng Xueying nodded joyfully. She didn’t like her current home; whenever she was naughty, Grandma would scold her and even pinch her with her hands. Her older siblings, younger brother, and sisters would also bully her.
"What if we never come back?" Li Zhenzhen asked. She wasn’t sure if Xiao Ying understood her meaning.
"That would be great!" Cheng Xueying said happily. She rarely went downstairs at home and stayed in her own room most of the time, with only Grandma Wang to take care of and play with her.
"Mommy, will I be able to see Grandma Wang after?" Cheng Xueying inquired.
"I don’t know." Li Zhenzhen shook her head. But she knew that once she divorced Cheng Junheng, she wouldn’t be able to enter the Cheng Family home again. She just didn’t know whether the Cheng Family, taking into account that Xiao Ying shared their bloodline, would allow her to visit Grandma Wang.
Gao Meiyun huffed disdainfully and turned to sit back down at the dining table.
"Bullying Li Zhenzhen this severely, won’t they ask Lu Hanmo to deal with us?" Cheng Yifeng asked somewhat worriedly.
"Don’t worry. What kind of person is Lu Hanmo? Would he bother with such trivial matters?" Gao Meiyun said indifferently after taking a sip of soy milk: "Not to mention that Lu Hanmo’s wife is only friends with Meng Yujuan. Even if they were actual sisters, she might not go through the trouble for her husband’s relative. Besides, this is our family affair; she has no right to intervene."
"That makes some sense." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I think we shouldn’t have acted this way this time. With the Li Family clinging to Lu Hanmo now, it’s expected that they will prosper. In the future, the Li Family might seek revenge for what we’ve done to Li Zhenzhen," Cheng Yifeng voiced his concerns.
"Lu Hanmo won’t stay in Lin City forever. Once they leave, we’ll make some moves behind the scenes to keep the Li Family down," Gao Meiyun said with a calculating smile. She had already thought of ways to deal with the Li Family, and once Lu Hanmo and his wife left, she would implement her plan. She intended to ruin the Li Family for good.
Wu Qing was busy in the kitchen when she heard the door open, she quickly put down the bowl in her hands and rushed out. Ever since Xiaohui had left, she had been restless, genuinely afraid something bad might happen.
Seeing Li Zhenzhen’s face bruised and swollen, Wu Qing’s tears flowed spontaneously. She hurried forward, "Zhenzhen, my poor child! How could they be so cruel to you? I’ll call your father right now, and we’ll go to the Cheng Family to demand justice." This was just too much!
"Mom, don’t cry, I’m fine," Li Zhenzhen said as she could not help but start crying upon seeing Wu Qing in tears.
Seeing his mother and sister embracing and crying together, Li Hui’s heart ached as if pricked by needles. He clenched his fists tightly. He would definitely not let this matter rest just like this.
