Chapter 240: Li Li's Past
In Bincheng, Ye Tiandong hung up the phone, picked up a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and was about to chug it down.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingbai and Supervisor Cui quickly stopped them.
Ye Qingbai snatched the bottle from his hand and advised, "Uncle, you can't drink like this, it'll ruin your health."
This is baijiu (Chinese liquor); if someone were to drink a whole bottle of it, it could be fatal.
"release."
Ye Tiandong tried to snatch the bottle back, but Ye Qingbai held on tightly, saying, "Uncle, I won't let go. You can't drink like this."
Ye Qingbai looked to the expressionless Supervisor Cui for help.
"Sister Cui, please help me persuade my uncle."
"Let him drink." Manager Cui stood there, looking at him coldly, and said, "Boss Ye, you were blinded by beauty and misjudged people, which led to this situation. Who can you blame now?"
“I advised you before, hoping you could learn more about Li Bin and his sister. You were so immersed in your sweet romance that you ignored my words. You thought Li Li was the most wonderful woman in the world, and no one could compare to her. Since it was your own choice, you should bear the consequences.”
Upon hearing Manager Cui's words, Ye Tiandong's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at her. "My own choice? Yes, it was my choice, so how am I supposed to bear the consequences? Am I supposed to crawl on my knees and finish the path I chose? So, I don't want a divorce? I'll just continue being a cuckold, is that what you mean, Cui Hua!"
"Please feel free to do as you please."
Manager Cui ignored him and sat down to eat.
Ye Qingbai never expected that Manager Cui would be so arrogant in front of his cousin.
He was very curious about how his cousin had handled things when he went to the Li family to find Li Li today.
This morning, after dealing with Li Bin's matter, Ye Tiandong was going to Li Li's house to settle accounts.
At the time, he was afraid that his cousin would do something foolish in a moment of impulsiveness.
He was also afraid that Li Li, that vixen, would deceive his uncle again, so he wanted to accompany her.
But he was scolded by his cousin.
Therefore, he had no idea what exactly happened to the Li family.
...
It's this afternoon now.
This morning, the police went to the Li family's house and said that Li Bin was suspected of drug trafficking and had been detained.
They even showed their search warrant and searched the house.
When Li Li heard that Li Bin had been arrested, she appeared very nervous and scared, but if you looked closely, you could see a glint of triumph in her eyes.
They took her to the police station, where she, her stepfather, and her mother, who was in the hospital bed, all gave statements. They claimed to know nothing about Li Bin's affairs. Since Li Li was pregnant and her mother was a patient, they were released quickly.
That day, the family was shrouded in gloom. Li Bin's father was yelling and cursing at home, saying that the two women were jinxes who had brought his son to prison.
If his son doesn't come out, he won't live either, and nobody will have a good time.
Li Li wanted to go home, and her stepfather told her to go back and ask Ye Tiandong for help, to quickly find connections to get her out of trouble.
Li Li responded verbally, but the gloom in her eyes wouldn't dissipate.
He wanted to pack his things, but his stepfather stopped him, saying, "Don't pack. Go find Ye Tiandong for help first. If you can't come up with a solution, your mother won't have an easy time either."
Listening to her stepfather's words, looking at his vicious face, and then at her mother lying on the bed, barely breathing, Li Li suddenly sneered, her eyes filled with hatred and sarcasm.
"You won't let my mother have a good life?" Li Li looked at her mother, her tone calm and cold, "Then kill her."
His words stunned his stepfather and stepmother.
The man cursed, "You brat, what are you saying? That's your mother!"
Li Li looked coldly at her emaciated mother and sneered, "Is she my mother? She's just like you, a devil."
Her life was ruined when she remarried this man.
Her mother would always cry in front of her, saying that she was having a hard time.
They said there are many conflicts between second-marriage couples, and that she should be more sensible.
Therefore, in all these years since she came to the Li family, she has always been timid and submissive, just keeping her head down and working, not daring to eat much.
She thought this would make her and her daughter's lives a little easier.
After she turned eighteen, she noticed that Li Bin's gaze towards her gradually changed.
He would often corner her in the room and say offensive things that made her uncomfortable.
Because she dared not retort or stop him, he became even more unscrupulous, eventually going so far as to grope her.
She told her mother about it, but her mother said she was talking nonsense.
They even called her shameless.
After that, she dared not say anything more.
Finally, on a cold night when neither her mother nor her stepfather was home, he bought two bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and warmly invited her to drink to ward off the cold.
She didn't want to drink, so he just forced her to drink it.
Then, emboldened by alcohol, he assaulted her.
Afterwards, he repeatedly emphasized that she had seduced him while drunk, and that she was a slut.
She wanted to tell her mother, but she didn't dare. She was afraid her mother would scold her for being cheap, and even more afraid that it would force her to marry Li Bin, this devil.
That would ruin her life.
Later, she discovered that her mother was also subtly probing her, praising Li Bin and saying things like they were family.
She knew her mother had listened to her stepfather and wanted to match her with Li Bin, making them even closer relatives.
She wanted to escape this home, to escape this hellhole, this abyss.
But on the one hand, she couldn't bear to leave her frail and sickly mother.
In addition, Li Bin secretly threatened her...
That devil kept telling her that if she got married, he would tell the other person about the way she lay beneath him moaning.
He said she could never escape his grasp for the rest of her life.
She was completely bound hand and foot, and her heart was also trapped.
Later, Li Bin tried to find someone to partner with in business, but he repeatedly ran into obstacles.
She offered to help, and then, thanks to her beautiful appearance, she won the praise of her partner.
Li Bin saw an even greater value in her…
When Ye Tiandong appeared in Li Li's yard, Li Li saw him and rushed towards him, crying, "Brother Dong, you've finally come to pick me up."
Li Li looked very nervous, and there was a middle-aged man in the yard.
Li Bin's father, who works odd jobs outside, was called back after his son's accident.
The atmosphere at home seemed quite somber.
Li Li thought Ye Tiandong had just learned about the situation, and tearfully recounted what had happened at home.
"Dong-ge, my brother has been arrested by the police, I'm so scared."
"Your brother?" Ye Tiandong looked at her and felt disgusted when he heard her address Li Bin.
Li Bin's father seemed to see a savior and rushed forward anxiously. "Tian Dong, my son-in-law, you've finally come! Your brother-in-law Binzi must have been framed. My son couldn't have done anything illegal."
