Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Divorce Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Divorce For a mont, the atmosphere in the living room was unusually silent, with everyone looking at each other in dismay, not knowing what to say.
However, it was clear that Lu Yichen wasn’t going to let this slide so easily, his gaze still fixed on Old Sir Zhong, “The matter today can’t just end like this.”
Zhong Niangyao sat there with an air of calm, looking around the room and not saying a word, just quietly sitting there. It seed as though she did not intend to intervene, but her attitude was already quite clear.
Old Sir Zhong sighed, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.
Old Madam Zhong, who seed to feel Old Sir Zhong’s intentions, reached out her hand and held his, as if to give him strength in this way.
Feeling the silent comfort from his wife, Old Sir Zhong looked up, his eyes determined. He turned to Zhong Mingyu and then spoke out, “Second son, get divorced!”
At this announcent, everyone present was shocked, seemingly unable to believe the words they had just heard.
“Dad, I—” Zhong Mingyu started to speak, but he didn’t know what to say.
“No, I won’t get divorced!”
After the initial shock, Li Yiqiu ca back to her senses, panic filling her face as tears could no longer be held back, cascading endlessly down, “I absolutely will not get divorced.”
She turned her head, looked toward the distressed Zhong Mingyu, extended her hand, and grabbed his wrist, pleading repeatedly, “Husband, I don’t want to get divorced, we can’t get divorced! Xiao Kang was just born not long ago, he can’t be without a mother!”
At this mont, Li Yiqiu was truly scared. She had imagined many ways Old Sir Zhong might punish her, but it never crossed her mind that he would directly demand a divorce like this.
She didn’t want, nor could she afford to get divorced. What would she do after divorce? And what about her child?
Moreover, if her family learned about the reason for her divorce, they definitely wouldn’t accept her back. Then she would truly have nowhere to go.
“I—” Zhong Mingyu looked at his wife, crying piteously before him, and his eyes showed a trace of emotion.
But when his gaze t his father’s, he felt a twinge of guilt. For a mont, he too didn’t know what to do.
After all, they had weathered many storms together over the years, and even if he had other mistresses outside, he had never considered divorce. Especially now that they had just had a son.
But now, considering the kind of thing his wife had done, injuring Third Young Master Lu, and with his father directly addressing the matter, he couldn’t argue.
Sensing sothing, Li Yiqiu suddenly stood up and quickly walked in front of Old Sir Zhong, then knelt down directly, “Dad, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive this once! For the sake of Xiao Kang, don’t let Mingyu divorce !”
Looking at Li Yiqiu kneeling there, Old Sir Zhong’s expression remained unchanged, his face cold as he spoke, “Do you truly realize your mistake?”
Upon hearing Old Sir Zhong’s question, Li Yiqiu’s whole being was invigorated, hope rising in her eyes as she nodded incessantly, “Truly, dad, I really know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishnt, as long as Mingyu doesn’t divorce .”
“Even at this point, you still haven’t realized your mistake!” Old Madam Zhong couldn’t hold back a sigh, her eyes full of disappointnt, “If you really knew you were wrong, you wouldn’t be here begging us for forgiveness.”
From beginning to end, the person Li Yiqiu wanted to harm was Zhong Niangyao, and the one she had truly hurt was Lu Yichen, but so far, she hadn’t apologized to them even once.
Old Madam Zhong’s sudden statent stunned everyone present. However, the people there were wise and imdiately understood the implication behind Old Madam Zhong’s words.
The crying from Li Yiqiu stopped abruptly, and she stood there frozen, looking particularly distressed.
But before she could make her next move, Zhong Niangyao slowly turned her head, looking at Li Yiqiu. A faint smile ford on her lips, “You needn’t apologize to , because I have no intention of forgiving you.”
Those simple two sentences directly cut off all of Li Yiqiu’s options, leaving her feeling sowhat at a loss.
“Zhong Niangyao, don’t be so unreasonable,” Zhong ngxuan imdiately jumped in to defend her mother’s actions, “My mom has already recognized her mistake. Why do you still have to be so aggressive? Why are you insisting on pushing for my parents’ divorce, what’s your intention?”
Since the beginning, she had wanted to speak up for her mother. But in such a setting, as a younger family mber, she didn’t know how to speak up.
But if things continued this way, her parents were truly heading for a divorce. She absolutely did not want her parents to split up. Without them together, she would have no ho.
What’s more, her father was not old; if he divorced, there was a high chance he would remarry. Her relationship with her father was already strained, and if a stepmother entered the picture, it would undoubtedly get even worse.
So, no matter what, she was determined not to let her parents divorce.
“What does that have to do with ?” Zhong Niangyao blinked innocently, her face portraying naïveté, “It’s not who’s asking them to get divorced. What’s the use of telling this? Or is it that you don’t dare to confront Grandpa, so you are putting pressure on instead?”
Zhong ngxuan’s face instantly turned red, and she reflexively retorted, “I’m not.”
“Well, then you go talk to Grandpa!” Zhong Niangyao shifted the responsibility back onto Old Master Zhong’s shoulders, “I haven’t said anything. I simply refuse to forgive.”
Suddenly thrust into the spotlight, Old Master Zhong could do nothing but give Zhong Niangyao a look that was both amused and annoyed. However, he didn’t voice any criticism toward her.
Obviously, Zhong ngxuan dared not argue with Old Master Zhong. She still looked at Zhong Niangyao, “Zhong Niangyao, what are you pretending for? Yes, my mom did wrong this ti. But she did it for my brother only. Can’t you just let it go this once, seeing the heart of a loving mother in her?”
“Besides, you haven’t been injured now, have you? After all, if you were willing to treat Xiao Kang’s condition in the beginning, my mom wouldn’t have been swayed by others to seek such ssy thods to obtain ‘Heart Blood.’ You bear so responsibility in this matter too.”
