Chapter 96 Let her take the initiative to file for divorce
After hearing what Yao Hongmei said, Xia Qingxi's eyes moved slightly. Seeing the guilt and determination in her eyes, she already understood what she was going to say. Without hesitation, she immediately responded:
"Okay." After that, she quickly walked to the living room and said to Lu Jingxie who was sitting at the table:
"Sister-in-law said she has something to tell you."
Lu Jingxie had a trace of doubt on his face, but did not ask anything.
He followed Xia Qingxi into Yao Hongmei's room. It stands to reason that as a brother-in-law, he is not suitable to enter his sister-in-law's room, but with Xia Qingxi by his side, his intuition told him that Yao Hongmei must have something important to say to him, so he didn't hesitate so much.
Yao Hongmei sat on the bed, and when she saw the tall and cold Lu Jingchen, the sense of justice she had just built up in her heart suddenly weakened, and her eyes unconsciously avoided him.
Xia Qingling noticed her expression, and fearing that something might happen, she immediately reminded her:
"Sister-in-law, don't you have something to say to Jingchen?"
"Oh oh." Yao Hongmei responded, but didn't say anything else.
She lowered her eyes, and her expression became more and more complicated. On the one hand, she felt guilty towards Xia Qingling and Lu Jingchen, and on the other hand, she was afraid that if she told the truth, it would cause a series of consequences that she would not be able to bear.
She wavered between conscience and self-protection, struggling constantly, and did not speak for a long time.
During her silence, Xia Qingying's frown deepened, and she finally couldn't help but open her mouth to remind him:
"Sister-in-law."
Yao Hongmei finally came to her senses, having made up her mind. She looked up at Lu Jingchen and whispered:
"Second brother, thank you for buying so many things for us. It really cost you a lot of money."
Xia Qingying's eyes darkened instantly, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Sister-in-law, is that all you have to say? That year, Lu Lidong..."
"Qingying!" Yao Hongmei immediately raised her voice and interrupted her:
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank my second brother."
After hearing what she said, Xia Qingying's face turned cold, knowing that Yao Hongmei would never tell Lu Jingchen the truth about climbing into the bed.
Maybe there was a moment just now when she really wanted to say it, but now she has too many concerns and still has a sense of luck, thinking that Lu Lidong still has feelings for her and wants to live with him, so she is unwilling to tell the truth and dig up the graves of her husband and mother-in-law.
"If it's just a thank you, then forget it." Without waiting for Lu Jingzhen to speak, Xia Qingli answered for him directly. Her voice was a little cold. She turned to Lu Jingzhen and said,
"Let's go out."
Feeling the low pressure from Xia Qingli, Lu Jingzhen frowned slightly, looked at Yao Hongmei, and asked in a deep voice,
"Sister-in-law, are you sure you have nothing to say?"
Yao Hongmei met Lu Jingzhen's cold eyes, immediately lowered her head with guilt, and then shook her head gently.
"Let's go." Xia Qingli said to Lu Jingzhen, without looking at Yao Hongmei again, she turned and walked out of the room.
After the two men left, two lines of tears streamed down Yao Hongmei's face. She knew that she had not helped Xia Qingxiong to clarify the truth, and she left in anger. In fact, she wanted to tell the truth, but her current situation...
Yao Hongmei lowered her head guiltily and said softly:
"Qingxiong, I'm sorry!"
It would be a lie to say that she was not angry, but things had come to this point, and Xia Qingxiong could not force Yao Hongmei to tell the truth. She sat at the table for a long time to calm down before her mood recovered.
She also felt that she had been a little too hasty. Her purpose was not just to clarify the truth and restore her reputation. She also wanted Wang Mingfang and her son to pay for what she had done. A price that was not painful or itchy was not enough. It had to be a price that was extremely painful!
Well, since Yao Hongmei still had illusions, she would completely break her illusions. When the time came, she would take the initiative to deal with Lu Lidong and her son without forcing her.
It was late today and she couldn't practice driving. Xia Qingliu started to learn self-defense from Lu Jingchen again. After a few days of practice, she had basically mastered the essentials of several moves, but her strength was too weak. Now she could only use them as fancy moves.
However, training strength will not produce results in one or two days, so she is not in a hurry. After a while, she will follow Lu Jingzhen to the army, where there will be plenty of opportunities for training. The venues and equipment there will be better, and the training will be more systematic and convenient.
At this time, Lu Lidong, who had just got off work, walked into the yard with a heavy heart. When he came back, he didn't care about his wife and children. He started calling "Mom" directly. After calling, no one responded, and his face became more anxious.
"Brother." He Shanshan heard the call, walked out of the room, and then pulled Lu Lidong into her room and told him with exaggeration that Yao Hongmei threatened to tell him what they had done to Lu Jingzhen and Xia Qingli in the past.
When Lu Lidong heard this, his face turned pale. He knew his brother's character better than anyone else. If he really knew, it would be disastrous. He looked ferocious and cursed:
"This stinky woman is really incapable of doing anything good but always makes trouble. If she dares to talk nonsense, I will beat her to death!"
As the two were talking, they saw Wang Mingfang carrying a cloth bag and walked into the yard. When he saw his mother, Lu Lidong seemed to have finally found his backbone, and immediately asked He Shanshan to call her in.
After a while, He Shanshan pulled Wang Mingfang into the room. The three of them closed the door. Lu Lidong looked at Wang Mingfang anxiously and asked,
"Mom, how was your conversation with Pan Di today?"
Compared to her panicked son, Wang Mingfang was much calmer. She said confidently,
"Why are you panicking? Are you afraid that your mother can't handle a little girl?"
"It's not mom, you don't know. Although she is young and easy to deceive, her mom is not a good person. If her family knows, they will definitely come to our house and cheat us of money. When things get out of hand, if dad finds out..."
Lu Lidong didn't say anything else. He was still a little afraid of Lu Baichuan. On the one hand, Lu Baichuan was the head of the family after all, and he still had some authority. On the other hand, he was afraid that he would no longer support himself financially.
"How could your dad know?" Wang Mingfang said firmly, and then said:
"I have found a house to settle her down, and asked her not to tell her parents about this. Her parents treat her as a cash cow. As long as she sends some money back on time, they will not come to the city, so it is impossible for them to know about this."
Lu Lidong felt relieved for a while. He knew his mother's ability. But just as he calmed down, he heard his mother suddenly say:
"The most important thing for you now is to get a divorce as soon as possible."
"Divorce!?" Lu Lidong got excited again and his voice became louder. He looked at Wang Mingfang in disbelief.
