Chapter 139: Driving Away Li Lihua

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Driving Away Li Lihua

Li Lihua’s words made Xu Ke, who was in a fit of anger, suddenly freeze, and then his expression became even more unpleasant, mingled with a sense of guilt.

Xu Ke turned his head to look at Lin Mengyao, "I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have suffered this undeserved disaster. It’s all my fault. I had promised to protect you well, but in the end, I not only failed but also implicated you." The light in Xu Ke’s eyes dimmed in an instant, and he even wanted to act like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to meet Lin Mengyao’s eyes, fearing to see emotions he couldn’t accept.

Lin Mengyao placed her hand on the back of Xu Ke’s hand, "I remember you were beaten to protect me, fighting desperately. I don’t blame you, not even a little bit." Lin Mengyao said softly.

Li Lihua saw that Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao started to look at each other affectionately, ignoring her, and the air seemed to take on a sweet candy-like aroma. Li Lihua pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and turned to leave.

But just as the sound of her footsteps started, Xu Ke’s voice echoed from behind, "Stop, did I allow you to leave?" Xu Ke struggled to squeeze Lin Mengyao’s nails with his heavily wrapped hand, his voice carrying an indescribable chill, like a venomous snake hiding in the darkness with an inexplicable danger.

"This isn’t your home, this is my daughter’s home. I live in my daughter’s house, and I can leave whenever I want. What does that have to do with you? My daughter hasn’t said anything, so who are you, an outsider, to act all high and mighty? I haven’t even held you accountable for getting my daughter beaten up, so you should count yourself lucky. Stop pretending to be important, you should be ashamed." Li Lihua said sharply.

"I remember telling you, this house is not mine; it belongs solely to Xu Ke, so Xu Ke has the right to decide anything." Lin Mengyao said coldly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You two are married, so half of this house is yours. Besides, where would he, a man marrying into the Lin family, get the money to buy a villa? Do you two think I’m stupid?" Li Lihua said dismissively, even with a hint of smugness in her expression.

"I’m giving you thirty minutes to get out of this villa. If you haven’t left by then, I’ll call security to throw you out. Sister Zhou, make sure she doesn’t take anything from this villa that doesn’t belong to her." Xu Ke patted Lin Mengyao’s slightly trembling hand, his voice icy.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Lihua asked, eyes wide, somewhat stunned.

"I mean you’re being kicked out of the villa by me." Xu Ke said coldly, without a trace of emotion.

"This is my daughter’s house. What right do you have to kick me out?" Li Lihua yelled in defiance.

This time, Lin Mengyao was completely disappointed in Li Lihua. She didn’t want to explain anything to her anymore, as she only listened to what she wanted to hear anyway. Therefore, this time Lin Mengyao explained nothing but stood firmly on Xu Ke’s side, "I agree with Xu Ke’s decision. This villa really isn’t suitable for you to continue staying in, so just go."

"Lin Mengyao! I am your mother, how can you treat me like this?" Li Lihua shouted unwillingly, her sharp voice seemingly piercing through one’s eardrums.

"Just because you are my mother, I am saying so much to you. Three minutes have already passed, no matter if you’re finished packing or not, when the time is up, you must leave this villa. And I will inform the guards so that you won’t have a chance to enter again in the future."

"Lin Mengyao, how do you want others to see me by doing this? Do you want me to save face or not? Do you have to be so ruthless?"

"How you turn out is your own business. After all, there’s a cause and effect, and the one who acted ruthlessly between the two of us first was you, not me." Lin Mengyao looked at Li Lihua with a cold expression, this was the first time she looked at her with eyes as if there was no longer any relationship between them.

Lin Mengyao’s gaze made Li Lihua feel a bit panicked. She instinctively reached out to grab Lin Mengyao, but was blocked by Sister Zhou beside her, "Madam Lin, you should get to packing your luggage." Sister Zhou stood in front of Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke, speaking coldly.

"Get out of my way." Li Lihua stretched out her hand to push Sister Zhou, but how could her strength compare to someone like Sister Zhou who was used to doing heavy work? She could only watch as Lin Mengyao wheeled Xu Ke toward the stairs, then the two supported each other to make their way upstairs.

"Could it be that I made the mistake? No, it definitely wasn’t my fault, it’s clearly all Xu Ke’s fault. If it weren’t for him causing trouble everywhere, this wouldn’t have happened. Why should I take the blame for him? I’m not leaving, once Mengyao comes to her senses she’ll know that she accused me wrongly. I absolutely won’t leave." Li Lihua muttered to herself, then returned to her room, locking the door and leaving Sister Zhou outside.

"Even if I die, I will die in this villa. I’m not leaving. Mengyao is just not thinking straight now. When she comes to her senses, she’ll know she’s wrong. When that time comes, it’ll be Xu Ke who gets thrown out, not me. Why should I leave? I refuse to believe that Mengyao would really be so heartless to call security to throw me out." Li Lihua yelled inside after locking the door.

Li Lihua sat inside, not coming out, as the thirty minutes quickly passed. Sister Zhou glanced at the closed door, turned around, and knocked on Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao’s bedroom door.

"Sir, Ma’am, Madam Lin refuses to leave and has locked the door."

"I’ll call security. You find the house key. When the security arrives, open the door directly and have them take her away. If the door can’t be opened, then force it open if needed, as long as Li Lihua is thrown out of the villa." Xu Ke leaned back, eyes half-closed, speaking with a cold gaze.

Sister Zhou, seeing Xu Ke’s determined look to drive her out, felt a sense of relief and went to stand guard outside Li Lihua’s door.

Even though it was late at night, the security personnel arrived quickly, having been briefed thoroughly by Xu Ke. When Sister Zhou opened the door, they immediately rushed in and dragged Li Lihua out, carrying her out.

"Let go of me, I’m not leaving. I am the mother of the homeowner here! Xu Ke! Lin Mengyao, both of you come out and stop them!" Li Lihua shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Sir and Ma’am are asleep, please move quickly." Sister Zhou watched Li Lihua’s futile struggles and urged softly.

"Sorry, we’ll be careful." The security personnel first apologized sincerely to Sister Zhou, then extended a hand to cover Li Lihua’s mouth, carrying her out of the villa.

"Lin Mengyao, Xu Ke, you actually threw me out, you are rebellious and unfilial, you’ll be punished by the heavens, you won’t die a good death!" Li Lihua shouted, but since her mouth was blocked, only a few words escaped through the gaps in the man’s fingers, leaving the rest as muffled hums, understood only by her.

It wasn’t until Li Lihua, wearing pajamas and penniless, was thrown to the bottom of the hill that she realized they weren’t joking and really intended to throw her out.

Li Lihua, unwilling to give up, tried to return, but was stopped by the guards at the gate, "I’m sorry ma’am, you’re not a resident of our villa area, nor a guest of any resident here, so you cannot enter."

The guard at the gate had seen this woman being thrown out by his colleagues himself, so no matter what she said, there was no way she’d be let back in, otherwise, they’d risk losing their jobs.

"I am Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao’s mother, I need to get inside, let me in, or I will tell them you didn’t let me in and get you all fired." Lin Mengyao threatened, but the guards at the gate were not intimidated, standing firmly in front of the gate, preventing her from entering.
