Chapter 223 Dad wants to divorce Mom!
Chu Rou was devastated after hearing this. She held her forehead and said weakly, "I'd better ask Dad what to do!"
After hanging up the phone, Mo Chi sensed that something was wrong with Chu Rou. He asked, "Rou Rou, what's wrong? Does Mom know about Shen Luo?"
Chu Rou nodded. "That's not all, there's something even more troublesome."
She opened the ward door and said to Qi Wende, who was sitting on the sofa in the ward, "Dad, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Qi Wende stood up and walked out of the ward. "Rou Rou, what's wrong?"
Chu Rou looked up at him, then sighed heavily, "Aunt Qi went to find my mom, and then they got into a fight."
"What did you say?" Even the usually calm Qi Wende became agitated after hearing Chu Rou's words. "Was your mother hurt?"
Chu Rou raised her eyebrows. "Dad, you should be worried about Aunt Qi."
Chu Rou had never doubted her mother's fighting spirit. When they first talked on the phone, she could tell that her mother only had unvented anger.
Qi Wende took out his phone and called Qi Feiyao. As soon as the call connected, he heard a sobbing voice on the other end, "Husband, I've been bullied."
"Who told you to go find Manman?" Qi Wende's tone was somewhat harsh. "Why did you fight?"
Qi Feiyao's crying suddenly stopped, but then she burst into loud sobs as if she had suffered a great injustice, "You still call her Manman, so intimately, do you even respect me?"
"Qi Wende, how could you face me? Without me, without the Qi family, do you think you could be living this life of wealth and luxury today, or have reached this position?"
"So what if I lied to you? I gave you my life, and you will always be mine."
After Qi Feiyao finished speaking, both sides fell silent.
Qi Lin stood there with her mouth agape, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "Mom, are you crazy? What are you saying?"
When Qi Wende heard Qi Lin's voice on the phone, he closed his eyes. After a long while, he opened his eyes and said firmly, "Qi Feiyao, we're getting a divorce. I'll leave with nothing. I don't want a single penny of anything from the Qi family or the Qi Corporation."
"Both Qi Hang and Qi Lin have the surname Qi, so I'll leave them both to you."
After Qi Wende finished speaking, he hung up the phone, took off his mask and threw it on the ground. He stepped on it, and it changed shape.
Qi Feiyao's voice was very loud, and Chu Rou and Mo Chi, standing next to Qi Wende, could hear it clearly.
"Dad!" Chu Rou anxiously took Qi Wende's arm. "Are you alright?"
Chu Rou never expected that things would turn out this way in just one day.
Chu Rou couldn't understand Qi Feiyao's behavior at all. Was this the capriciousness of a young lady? She said hurtful things in every way, each word like a knife stabbing into someone's lungs.
Qi Wende gave a bitter smile. "Rou Rou, your father has lived a failed life. He has worn a mask for half his life. Everyone in B City knows Qi Wende, but no one knows what Qi Wende looks like. Anyone who wears this mask is Qi Wende."
"It's time to leave. The empire we've built up over the years is a way of repaying the Qi family for saving our lives."
"Dad!" Chu Rou didn't know how to comfort Qi Wende. Her father had been married into the family for more than 20 years, and there must still be a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over!
If her father gets divorced, it might be a relief for him. I wonder if Qi Feiyao will regret saying those things.
Chu Rou hugged Qi Wende, "It's okay, I'll take care of you in your old age. As long as I have food to eat, you'll never go hungry."
Qi Wende patted Chu Rou on the back with satisfaction, but his gaze turned to Mo Chi. "I just don't know if my leaving with nothing will affect your marriage with Mo Chi."
"No!" Mo Chi replied. "Dad, Rou Rou and I actually registered our marriage a long time ago."
"What the hell?" Qi Wende raised his voice.
Chu Rou straightened up. "Dad, we registered our marriage on Mo Chi's 22nd birthday. That was also a promise he made to me."
Qi Wende sneered, "You managed to trick my precious daughter into your hands without even a wedding. You've got some nerve."
Mo Chi touched his nose. "Dad, put it down. My wedding with Rou Rou will be very grand. I won't make her suffer."
Qi Wende's expression softened a bit. "You'd better remember what you said. Don't think that just because I'm penniless and powerless, I can bully Rou Rou. My fists are still strong."
Mo Chi hugged Chu Rou in his arms and said with a smile, "No, I will treat Rou Rou well for the rest of my life."
Qi Wende snorted and didn't say anything more.
Chu Rou tiptoed and kissed Mo Chi on the lips, whispering, "I will love you for a lifetime too."
...
Shen family in City C.
Upon learning of Shen Luo's accident, Shi Jingman rushed into the room to call Shen Minghui, urging him to take leave and return home immediately.
When she hung up the phone and walked into the living room, she heard Qi Feiyao shouting into the phone.
Shi Jingman stopped in her tracks, frowning. Knowing Qi Wende as she did, she knew he was too proud to take such words to heart.
Is Qi Feiyao's brain filled with shit? If she cared about Qi Wende, how could she say such hurtful things?
No one knows what Qi Wende said, but Qi Feiyao shouted again, "No, I don't agree! How dare you divorce me!"
But the other end of the phone had already hung up. Qi Feiyao collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, "How dare he do this to me! I don't agree to a divorce, I don't agree..."
Qi Lin stood there dumbfounded, her eyes glazed over. It was the first time she had ever seen her parents argue, and it might be the last.
Yesterday we were a perfectly good family, how come we're falling apart now?
She looked down at Qi Feiyao. Was this still her mother?
Her mother was a happy princess who dressed up beautifully every day, spoke very gently, and would even act coquettishly with her father.
Why did she act like a shrew today, saying such hurtful things to her father?
For a man, marrying into his wife's family is inherently humiliating, especially since her father is such a proud man, and the Qi family only grew stronger after her father took over.
She still remembers when she was a child, her father often came home covered in injuries. The Qi family is where it is today because her father risked his life to achieve it.
How could her mother...?
Qi Lin shook her head, crying, "Mom, how could you hurt Dad's feelings? Don't you know how much he has sacrificed for this family?"
Qi Feiyao looked up, her eyes filled with shock and confusion. "Linlin, it was your father who betrayed me first. He doesn't want me anymore, and he doesn't want you and Xiaohang either. Now, he only has Chu Rou and his Manman in his heart!"
After Qi Feiyao finished speaking, she glanced at Shi Jingman again.
Shi Jingman rolled her eyes. "Qi Lin, you'd better take your mother away right now, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating her again!"
Qi Lin bowed to Shi Jingman and said, "Aunt Shi, I'm sorry to have bothered you today."
Qi Lin pulled Qi Feiyao up from the ground. "Mom, let's talk about these things when we get home!"
Qi Lin and Qi Feiyao left the Shen family.
In the car, Qi Lin took out a comb from her bag, combed Qi Feiyao's hair, and then wiped Qi Feiyao's face clean with a wet wipe.
Qi Feiyao sat motionless, not saying a word, her eyes flashing with a mixture of regret and hatred.
Qi Lin didn't know what to do, so she took out her phone and called Qi Hang.
Qi Hang answered the phone, somewhat impatiently, "Linlin, what is it? Hurry up, I'm busy!"
"Brother..." Qi Lin started to speak but burst into tears again, "Dad wants to divorce Mom!"
Qi Hang: ...
