Chapter 15
"Please, please don't kill our baby, okay?"
Lin Ying's disgusted look finally softened. She raised her hand and touched her stomach, saying irritably, "Fine, fine, since you're begging me like this, I'll keep him."
Chen Lijun's handsome face instantly lit up with ecstasy.
“I love you, baby.” He stood up excitedly and hugged Lin Ying in his arms. “I knew you loved me too. Thank you, baby, thank you for being willing to give birth to our child.”
Lin Ying looked up at Chen Li's handsome face, her eyes filled with emotion. She raised her finger and poked his full forehead repeatedly, playfully scolding, "Chen Li, do you know how much I've sacrificed to be with you? You have to treat me well for the rest of your life, understand? Otherwise, hmph~"
"Baby, don't you know me?" Chen Li lifted Lin Ying's hand, kissed it repeatedly, and said, "Who else can I love besides you now?"
"Hmph, don't you have another son?"
Lin Ying was ultimately captivated by Chen Li's handsome face and his considerate yet domineering behavior in bed, which she found very endearing. Even when she thought about breaking up with him, she couldn't bear to part with him.
However, this time Li Chi'an made things so embarrassing for her that she couldn't back down.
Miss Lin has always been fawned over wherever she goes; when has she ever suffered such insults and humiliation?
I'm so angry today.
She was burning with rage and couldn't get in touch with Li Chian... One day, she would make him pay.
Unfortunately, she is currently pregnant and cannot cause trouble for him for the time being.
But it's all Chen Li's fault.
If he hadn't married such a vicious woman, he wouldn't be facing all this trouble now.
Thinking this, Lin Ying's expression, which had been appeased by Chen Li, turned even more unpleasant.
snort!
"That vicious woman knew we were together all along, but she kept quiet. I thought she was scared, but I never expected her to cause us such a huge mess today."
"Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Chen Li's handsome face changed several times. Of course, he knew that Li Chi'an had probably planned this all along, knowing that Lin Ying was in the United States to give birth, and was counting down the days to expose her.
She wanted to put them in a difficult position.
"Manage it, manage it, manage it." Chen Li hugged Lin Ying tightly. "Don't you know about the trending topics? Netizens are just jumping on the bandwagon now. Once the hype dies down, everyone will have to go back to doing what they were doing."
"Hmph! That's for the best." Lin Ying wrapped her arms around Chen Li's neck. "I'm tired and want to sleep. Carry me."
Chen Li... bent over, gritted his teeth, and his face turned red before he finally managed to place Lin Ying steadily on the bed.
Lin Ying is seven months pregnant, her belly has grown quite a bit, and she is also very swollen.
Chen Li, who used to be able to easily pick her up, now has to exert a lot of effort to do so. However, Lin Ying is very dissatisfied with this, saying, "Li Li, you should go to the gym, otherwise your strength will decrease."
"Okay, honey, I'll go swimming after I finish cooking for you."
"Go quickly."
...
The beach downstairs gradually became more crowded.
"Mom, let's go swimming." Chen Zui's fair face was still wet with water droplets. He was holding a tissue to wipe his face, and after wiping, he casually threw the tissue on the coffee table in the guesthouse's living room.
"Honey, where did you throw the tissue?"
Chen, the youngest child, gave a fawning smile and quickly picked up the tissue and threw it into the trash can.
"Mom, are you applying sunscreen?"
"Yes, I'll wipe it for you after I'm done wiping."
"I don't want to."
Chen, the youngest child, said he didn't want to wear sunscreen, but in the end, his mother grabbed him, held him in her arms, and applied a thick layer of sunscreen to him.
After applying sunscreen to her son, Li Chian changed into her swimsuit.
She chose a relatively conservative swimsuit, with a short-sleeved top and a short skirt, revealing a section of her fair and flat stomach in the middle, and long, fair legs below.
Despite being a mother of a six-year-old, she still attracted a lot of attention on the island when she came downstairs in this outfit. Her youngest child, Chen, was also very eye-catching today.
He was wearing cute swim trunks, cute swimming goggles, and a swimming cap. His fair and tender belly skin was as white and glowing as his mother's.
The moment he appeared on the beach, he was the most stylish guy there.
The seawater was colder than I expected.
But Chen, the youngest, is a chubby-cheeked, daring boy who also loves the cool air. As soon as his tender white feet touch the seawater, he splashes around and swims into the ocean.
However, he swam around but didn't dare to swim more than ten meters from the beach. Finally, he grabbed his mother's hand in a dilemma and said, "Mom, I don't think I want to swim to the rocks."
Li Chi'an shivered several times from the cold before he got used to the temperature of the seawater.
She didn't laugh at his hesitation, nor did she force her son to go into the water. Instead, she quickly accepted his changed idea, even though she already knew that her son would realize during the trial that swimming to the rocks wasn't always possible. "How about we play here?" she said.
She pointed to the shallow water that barely reached her ankles, and took out a small bucket and shovel she had prepared beforehand, and began to dig a sandpit with her son.
As the tide came in, the sandpit turned into a small pond.
Even the youngest child, Chen, wasn't bothered; he just kept digging, grumbling and groaning.
Li Chi'an dug a few times, then sat down and watched without doing anything himself. Chen, on the other hand, gradually forgot his fear and surrounded the sandpit like a diligent little bee, digging with extra effort.
Once a huge sand pit was dug out, he took his small bucket and jumped into the water, splashing water all over Li Chi'an.
"Look! Mom! I can dive!"
"That's fantastic!" Li Chi'an clapped. "Could you jump a little deeper?"
She subtly guided her son to move deeper into the area.
They played until sunset before returning to their room at the guesthouse.
Chen, the youngest child, excitedly lay in the bathtub, while Li Chi'an gently dried his hair with another bath towel.
"Mom, today is the happiest day of my life."
After taking a shower, Chen Zui came out of the bathroom and returned to bed, where he began to feel drowsy.
Li Chi'an felt as if he were surrounded by warm seawater, and he whispered a promise, "There will be even more fun things to do tomorrow."
Outside the window, moonlight spills onto the sea, shattering into millions of silver seashells.
Li Chian drew the curtains and gently lay down next to his son.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, once the threats from Chen Li and Lin Ying are completely eliminated, she will use the same patience and wisdom to guide and accompany her son through countless days and nights like today.
...
For three consecutive days, Li Chi'an spent time with his son on the island.
The more she exposed information about Chen Li and Lin Ying, the more she revealed, and the more it trended on major online media platforms for three consecutive days.
In Xianghai City, any public opinion event with a significant impact will receive higher-level regulatory attention, and the issues are never avoided.
Three days later, investigators suddenly visited Hong Kong China Holdings Limited, requesting access to all records and materials related to the work in Shang Chen Li.
Although Chen Liren didn't come, he kept a close eye on things in China remotely. It's fair to say he barely slept in the past three days. When he heard that relevant workers were coming to investigate, he questioned his superior on the phone with dark circles under his eyes and a livid face, "Who's behind this?"
His superior at Hong Kong and China Resources was also sweating profusely as he struggled to handle Chen Li's matter.
On one side was the Lin family, and on the other was Xianghai City. In the end, it was the relevant people in Xianghai City who used swift and decisive measures to subdue him. They rarely lost their temper with Chen Li, saying, "They said they received an anonymous tip, which is completely compliant with the procedures, and we can't refuse."
Not only was he unable to refuse, but if this were ancient times, this superior would probably have cut off Chen Li's head and made him take the blame so that the case would end there and not escalate any further.
That Mrs. Chen is ruthless.
She single-handedly tore off the facade of Chen Li and Lin Ying, these players who wore the cloak of elites and rose quickly through institutional exemptions, exposing them completely in the game of fame and fortune.
It's foreseeable that the careers of Chen Li and Lin Ying are over, no doubt about it.
well!
After the supervisor respectfully saw off the investigators, Ganghua confirmed Chen Li's dereliction of duty and disciplined him.
At the same time, Lin Ying also received preliminary disciplinary action from her employer.
...
Chen Li frantically dialed Li Chi'an's number, but no one answered. He then called all the people associated with Li Chi'an, but after receiving a few harassing calls from him, everyone who had been able to contact Li Chi'an in the past three days blocked him.
He sent his parents straight to their former home, only to find that the locks had been changed.
“Son, the property management told us that Zui Zui’s mother has been gone for several days now.”
"They also said they heard Zui Zui's mother and Zui Zui talking, saying that they wouldn't be back until after the New Year."
There are still a few months until the Chinese New Year, and this person plans not to come back until the divorce proceedings are completed.
Chen Li's vision went black, and he almost collapsed on the bar counter of Lin Ying's luxury apartment.
"A few months is too long, Dad, Mom. During this time, please keep an eye on Xiyuan and Zuizui Kindergarten for me. Once Li Chian comes back, you must stop her."
"Don't worry, son. You stay over there and take good care of Yingying as she gives birth to my grandson. As for the rest, your dad and I will take good care of the house for you."
Not only was Chen Li's face ashen, but the content that had been trending on social media these past few days, which his youngest son recounted to his parents like a news broadcast, made Chen's parents practically hate their daughter-in-law, Li Chi'an, to death.
While wiping away her tears, Chen's mother kept in touch with her son who was far away abroad. Chen's father slammed his hand on the door of Li Chi'an's house in Xiyuan, so loudly that the property management staff next to him took a step back.
"I'll ask one last time, what right do you have to prevent us from entering our own son's home?"
Property manager Xiao Deng adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Mr. Chen, according to the specific instructions of homeowner Ms. Li Chi'an, no one is allowed to enter her residence unless she accompanies her personally. This is the homeowner's right."
"Her residence?" Chen's mother interrupted shrilly, her fingers, adorned with several gold rings, almost poking Xiao Deng's nose. "This is the house my son bought! Why can't I enter my son's house?"
Xiao Deng took a half step back and pulled out a photocopy from the folder. "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, according to our property records, the property certificate for this property only lists Ms. Li Chi'an's name."
Mr. Chen's face changed drastically. He snatched the paper away, his eyes widening behind his reading glasses.
The property owner's name, "Li Chi'an," is clearly printed in black and white on the paper, and the ownership status is listed as "solely owned."
"This is impossible..." Mr. Chen's voice, hoarse from years of drinking and smoking, became shrill. "This was clearly the down payment my son paid."
Now, everyone in the Xiyuan residential community knows about the entanglement between Dr. Chen and Mrs. Chen.
They held Mr. and Mrs. Chen in utter contempt for their family, who colluded with Dr. Chen to bully Ms. Li.
Dr. Chen, who used to seem like a good person in every way and looked respectable, turned out to be a beast in the eyes of many.
Xiao Deng coughed lightly, his eyes revealing his disdain for the Chen family, which he couldn't even bother to hide. His attitude had also lost the respect he once showed them in the community. "According to our property management records, this apartment was purchased by Ms. Li 76 years ago when she left the capital. If you two have any objections, we suggest you resolve this through legal channels."
Mr. and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, their faces turning from red to white.
They remembered clearly that when their son got married, the down payment was to be split equally between the two families, and the young couple would pay off the loan themselves.
How did it turn into the daughter-in-law buying the house outright?
"That bitch must have lied to my son!" Chen's mother suddenly screamed hysterically. "She must have used some means to transfer the house to her own name! I'm calling the police! I'll sue her for fraud!"
Xiao Wang sighed and pointed to Chen's mother's phone, "Mrs. Chen, why don't you ask Dr. Chen? He should know the answer."
Chen Li hurriedly switched her phone to speakerphone, panting as she asked, "Son, did that wicked woman, your mother, lie to you and trick you into transferring the house to her name?"
Mr. Chen also hurriedly gathered around Mrs. Chen, staring intently at the phone in her hand, wanting to hear a definite answer.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Chen Li's weak voice came through, "Mom, the property certificate does indeed only have Li Chi'an's name on it. However, we bought this house after we got married. I paid for the mortgage and renovations. When we divorce, half of this house belongs to me."
Often, when people listen, they only hear what they want to hear.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that we have half of it. I was just saying that you promised both our families would pay half of the down payment for this house, but now it's all hers."
Xiao Deng rolled his eyes to the sky.
That Dr. Chen is utterly shameless.
Isn't what he said clearly implying that Ms. Li Chi'an paid the down payment for this house?
This shameless scumbag, no wonder Miss Li wanted to mess with him.
Not only did he cheat on his wife and get her pregnant out of wedlock, but he also schemed to steal the house that Ms. Li had worked hard to buy.
This beast who only knows how to exploit loopholes in marriage and scheme to take away other people's property, may God take him away quickly.
After hearing their son's words, Mr. and Mrs. Chen turned around and started bossing Xiao Deng around with a sense of righteous indignation, "Hey, what's wrong with you, property management staff? Did you take bribes from that wicked woman to be taking her side like this?!"
