Luo Yang scoffed, rolled his eyes, and muttered, "So what if she hears? She doesn't dare to divorce Dad anyway."
"Dad," Luo Yang looked at him expectantly and asked, "Why are you still dragging your feet on getting a divorce? I want Aunt Qianqian to be my new mom! Aunt Qianqian is fashionable and beautiful. I'd be so proud to have her help me with the parent-teacher conference!"
"Unlike Mom, who always wears that old-fashioned, tattered cheongsam!"
"They keep restricting what I can do, and yesterday they even forced me to sunbathe! Look at my hands, they're peeling from the sun!"
"It's not the right time yet. Wait until Dad asks your mom for a favor, then you'll agree to divorce her."
Luo Gaoyuan patted Luo Yang's head and said, "You need to behave well in front of her during this time, and say good things for your father. Once her attitude softens and she signs the documents, your father can divorce her."
Luo Yang pouted and reluctantly said, "Okay, I know..."
Before he could finish speaking, he caught sight of Li Meilin standing in the doorway, her eyes red-rimmed, her breathing rapid, and her expression one of extreme anger. He was startled: "Mom?!"
Startled, Luo Yang yelled at her, "Why are you standing at the door like a ghost?! You scared me to death, you know that?!"
"What did you do out so early in the morning? Did you buy breakfast? I'm starving! Bring me breakfast right now!"
Seeing Li Meilin's appearance, Luo Gaoyuan's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart. However, he glared at Luo Yang and scolded him, "Yangyang! How dare you talk to your mother like that?!"
He strode forward, his face full of tender concern as he reached out to take Li Meilin's bag: "Meilin, you're back. Were you tired from going out? When...did you get back?"
How much of his conversation with Luo Yang did Li Meilin overhear?
Li Meilin dodged his touch with great force, glaring at him with hatred through gritted teeth, her voice trembling: "Luo Gaoyuan! You lied to me! You lied to me!!"
Her voice suddenly rose, as if a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time was suddenly erupting. She hysterically threw her bag at Luo Gaoyuan's face: "You never broke up with that mistress! You, you even took Yangyang to see her! You bastard!"
God knows how much pain Li Meilin felt when she heard what Luo Yang said outside!
That was the child she carried for ten months, risking her life to give birth to! She never imagined that in his eyes, she, the mother, would be so despicable!
And the culprit, Luo Gaoyuan, how dare he! How dare he let his mistress have contact with her child! That beast!
Li Meilin screamed and lunged at him recklessly, her sharp nails scratching his face: "Luo Gaoyuan! What have I done to wrong you! Why are you treating me like this! Tell me! Tell me!"
Luo Gaoyuan couldn't dodge in time and was scratched several times, his face burning with pain.
The mother-in-law cried out, "Oh my god! Li Meilin! Are you trying to kill me?! How dare you hit my son!"
She rushed over to pull Li Meilin away, but the furious Li Meilin was not so easy to control. She not only scratched Luo Gaoyuan, but also scratched her mother-in-law, whom she usually dared not offend.
Luo Yang realized he had said the wrong thing and didn't dare stay in the living room any longer. He slipped upstairs and went back to his room while they were fighting.
Luo Gaoyuan initially held back, but after Li Meilin scratched his face twice more, he completely lost his temper and forcefully pushed Li Meilin away.
Li Meilin's waist slammed hard against the table leg, and the pain made her face turn pale.
Luo Gaoyuan touched the wound on his cheek with a dark expression and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to ask me why I treated you like this? Li Meilin! Look at yourself now, you look like a crazy woman on the street! You're not even as good as Qianqian's finger!"
Li Meilin was in pain both physically and emotionally. She felt cold all over, her eyes were red, and her voice trembled as she said, "In your heart, am I just a crazy woman? What about all the things I've done for you all these years? Am I just unlucky?"
"Luo Gaoyuan, you can't be so shameless! You were the one who promised to break up with her! You deceived me! You're a hypocrite! You bastard!"
"I can't stay in this house for another second! Let's get a divorce! Let's get a divorce!"
Li Meilin screamed in despair, grabbed her bag, and turned to leave.
A dark glint flashed in Luo Gaoyuan's eyes, and a sinister look appeared on his face. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Meilin's hand, his voice cold and stern: "No! You can't leave yet!"
"If you want a divorce, that's fine! Just sign this!"
As he spoke, he forcefully dragged Li Meilin to the coffee table, threw her onto the sofa, and then took a document from the drawer and slammed it in front of her.
Li Meilin immediately noticed the large words written on the document: Haiyang Bank Personal Loan Agreement
Her name has been printed on the next line of the borrower's list.
Li Meilin quickly picked up the contract and flipped through it. The more she flipped through it, the more her hands trembled. This was her personal loan contract with Haiyang Bank, a total of 80 million yuan!
Her guarantors were her good father and good mother.
She finally understood why Luo Gaoyuan had refused to divorce her; it turned out that this was what he was planning!
Luo Gaoyuan's voice softened a bit: "The company is having some financial problems and needs some working capital. I've borrowed from everyone I know. Meilin, please help me out for the sake of our marriage."
"I'll divorce you immediately! You'll get half of the assets! You won't have to pay back this money either. I promise you won't suffer any losses!"
"Meilin, you can't just stand by and watch our son become a debt-ridden second generation, can you?"
Li Meilin was so angry she felt dizzy. She threw the contract at Luo Gaoyuan and quickly stood up: "You're dreaming! I won't sign this contract!"
Li Meilin ran quickly towards the door. She knew perfectly well that if she signed this contract, her life would be completely over!
Luo Gaoyuan's face darkened completely. If it weren't for the need to record the signing of the contract, Luo Gaoyuan would have already paid a high price to hire a skilled craftsman to imitate Li Meilin's handwriting and sign it. Why bother to go to such lengths to coax her?
What an ungrateful wretch!
The humiliation he had endured these past few days, combined with the anger from being scratched earlier, instantly clouded Luo Gaoyuan's judgment. He caught up with her in a few strides, grabbed Li Meilin's hair, and forcefully pulled her back: "You don't want to sign! You have to sign!"
"Let me go! Let me go!" Li Meilin was no match for Luo Gaoyuan's strength and was pinned firmly to the coffee table.
Luo Gaoyuan shouted, "Mom! Bring me the pen from the drawer!"
Luo Gaoyuan's mother quickly snapped out of her daze, took out a pen, and handed it to him: "Here you go!"
Luo Gaoyuan shoved the pen into Li Meilin's hand, held her hand down, and was about to sign the document.
Li Meilin struggled with all her might: "No! Let me go! Let me go—!"
She struggled too hard, and Luo Gaoyuan, whose body had been weakened by years of drinking and womanizing, almost couldn't hold her down, and couldn't even sign his name.
Luo Yang, who was in his room, heard the living room quiet down and assumed the argument was over. When he went downstairs, he saw Li Meilin being pinned down on the coffee table by Luo Gaoyuan.
He paused, then asked somewhat fearfully, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Luo Gaoyuan's eyes lit up, and he beckoned to him: "Son, quick! Come help Dad get your mom to sign this document!"
"Once you sign the papers, you'll have money to buy a sports car!"
Luo Yang hesitated before stepping forward, and under Li Meilin's desperate gaze, he imitated Luo Gaoyuan and pinned her down.
