When Li Mingyu returned home, it was past lunchtime. He was starving when he came home and had just taken off his shoes and stepped into the empty living room when a book was thrown at him.
"You unfilial son!"
When Li Mingyu looked up, she saw Li Hao standing angrily by the sofa, his chest heaving, clearly very angry.
His eyes were fixed on Li Mingyu, and seeing that Li Mingyu did not react for a long time, he became even more angry: "Are you trying to make me angry to death?"
Hearing this, Li Mingyu was surprised. He looked at Li Hao in confusion and asked, "Tell me, what did I do to make you angry?"
Upon hearing Li Mingyu's words, Li Hao's face darkened even further. He slammed his hand on the table and said coldly, "Don't you know what you've done? Did you go see that woman Jiang Hua again?"
"She's the one I like!" Li Mingyu hated it most when Li Hao addressed Jiang Hua in that tone. At this moment, his face darkened, and he ignored Li Hao's unpleasant expression, wanting to leave.
"You!" Seeing his appearance, Li Hao couldn't catch his breath. He strode up to Li Mingyu and raised his hand to strike him!
Seeing this, Wanqing quickly stepped forward to stop Li Hao. Her face was full of anxiety as she hurriedly called out, "Li Hao! Why can't we talk things out? Why did you have to resort to violence?"
As she spoke, Wanqing kept giving Li Mingyu meaningful glances, signaling him not to go against Li Hao and to back down so the matter would be resolved.
Bai Zijing, who was standing to the side, did not expect Li Hao to have such a bad temper. She wanted Li Mingyu and Jiang Hua to separate, but she also did not want to see her beloved being beaten!
Bai Zijing quickly came over and gently persuaded Li Hao, while also saying to Li Mingyu, "Mingyu, no matter how willful you are, you have to consider Li Hao's feelings!"
Hearing Bai Zijing's advice, Li Mingyu sneered and ignored her. If someone hadn't deliberately told Li Hao about his affair with Jiang Hua, how would he have known? And the person who informed on him was most likely the anxious woman in front of him.
He wasn't stupid; how could he not see Bai Zijin's hostility towards Jiang Hua? So he pretended not to see Bai Zijin's overtures, and even felt a bit disgusted.
Hearing their persuasion, Li Hao was no longer as angry as before. He looked at Li Mingyu and said coldly, "If you break up with that woman Jiang Hua, I'll pretend this never happened."
Li Mingyu naturally couldn't agree to this request. How could he possibly break up with the person he loved just because of Li Hao's words? So, without even thinking, he rejected Li Hao's request: "Give up! I won't agree."
Upon hearing this, Li Hao's anger flared up again. He raised his hand and slapped Li Mingyu hard across the face. Li Mingyu couldn't dodge in time and was still hit.
At this moment, Wanqing quickly stood in front of Li Mingyu. She looked at Li Hao and saw that he was still furious. She quickly and gently advised, "Li Hao, calm down. Don't you know Li Mingyu's temperament? The more you pressure him, the more he will go against you."
“Yes!” Bai Zijin, who was standing to the side, quickly came forward. She looked at the red marks on Li Mingyu’s face with some heartache and joined Bai Zijin in comforting Li Hao.
Wanqing was an experienced woman, and she could easily see through Bai Zijin's little scheme. That was precisely why she disliked Bai Zijin so much. She glared at Bai Zijin and said coldly, "This is a family matter. Please excuse us."
Bai Zijing was taken aback by his words, and then she was at a loss for what to do. She knew that Wanqing had never liked her, so she didn't dare to treat Wanqing the same way she treated Li Hao.
Seeing this, Li Mingyu felt he had finally vented some of his anger. After all, he was a grown man and couldn't afford to argue with Bai Zijing, especially since Wanqing didn't like Bai Zijing. Given Wanqing's personality, she probably disliked people like Bai Zijing the most.
Hearing Wanqing's words, Li Hao calmed down considerably and no longer adopted his previous tough attitude. He simply snorted and remained silent.
Bai Zijing was eager to win over Li Hao, so she ignored Wanqing's disgust and came closer, smiling and saying, "Don't be too angry. Li Mingyu is just playing around right now. I believe that after a while, he won't only think about that woman Jiang Hua anymore."
Before Li Hao could even speak, Wanqing said coolly, "If you don't want Jiang Hua, you probably want Li Mingyu to think about you, right? I never knew that an outsider like you could meddle in our family affairs."
Wanqing disliked Bai Zijing not only because she disliked Bai Zijing's personality, but also because Bai Zijing was Li Hao's ideal daughter-in-law. She was determined to bring Song Ying and Li Mingyu together, so why would she want Bai Zijing into the family?
Moreover, Bai Zijing really doesn't know how to read the room. This matter between Li Mingyu and Jiang Hua shouldn't have been her business to get involved in, but she doesn't know how to read people's expressions and only knows how to achieve her own goals.
Bai Zijing was not a good-tempered person to begin with. After being mocked by Wanqing time and time again, she couldn't help but turn pale. However, she still had a shred of rationality, so she did not refute.
Seeing that his preferred daughter-in-law was being treated this way by Wanqing, Li Hao felt a little guilty. However, in his heart, Bai Zijin was still not as good as Wanqing, so he advised Bai Zijin, "You should go back first and come again next time."
Having finally found a chance to get close to Li Mingyu, Bai Zijin was not about to give it up so easily. So she pretended not to have heard Li Hao's words and remained unmoved.
At this moment, Li Hao couldn't care less about Bai Zijing; he was comforting the angry Wanqing.
"Wanqing, please don't be angry anymore. What if you get sick from it?" Li Hao always respected and loved Wanqing, and he never saw her angry.
Wanqing wasn't actually that angry. After all, she had been through so much, how could she be angered by Bai Zijin, this young girl? What really angered her was Li Hao's attitude towards Bai Zijin.
Seeing Li Hao's current expression, it's clear he's quite satisfied with Bai Zijing. But Wanqing already has Song Ying in her heart, so naturally she's unwilling to let Bai Zijing into the family.
Li Hao was unaware of Wan Qing's thoughts. He assumed that Wan Qing was angered by Bai Zijin, and then turned to Bai Zijin, urging her to leave as soon as possible.
The couple had their own ideas and argued fiercely about their son.
