"Either get a divorce or be widowed, the choice is yours."
Li Susu gripped a kitchen knife tightly in her hand, her eyes red-rimmed, staring intently at the man in front of her.
The man and woman before them, Qin Chuan, dressed in a suit and tie, looked like a social elite, while Chu Yun'er, whom he was protecting behind him, had exquisite makeup and wore a luxurious haute couture outfit, which made Li Susu, who was wearing a sloppy house dress with an apron covered in oil stains, look absurd and ridiculous.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes, as if he couldn't believe that Li Susu dared to disobey him.
His voice was filled with rage: "What do you want to do? What, do you dare to kill me? Li Susu, don't forget who's been working so hard to support you outside!"
You've worked so hard to raise her?
How dare Qin Chuan say such a thing!
She met Qin Chuan in college. During their relationship, he was very attentive and considerate to her. Despite his poor family background, Li Susu had no complaints. Instead, she chose to marry Qin Chuan, even if it meant severing ties with her family.
Three days after their marriage, he mentioned wanting to study abroad, so Li Susu gave him her bank card.
That was her only savings after she severed ties with her family!
After Qin Chuan went abroad, she served him and his mother diligently and without complaint.
They are reluctant to buy clothes, reluctant to use cosmetics, and even have to carefully budget their daily expenses.
At first, the two video chatted every day, and Qin Chuan would report his whereabouts to her, pretending to miss her very much. Later, the video chats turned into text messages, and the content of the messages was only to ask for money.
Qin Chuan asked for more and more money, and contacted her less and less.
She was bothered by it, but she tried to comfort herself.
Everything will be alright as long as Qin Chuan comes back.
Li Susu had been waiting for him for three whole years, but what she got in return was him bringing another woman back and behaving arrogantly towards her!
The past couldn't withstand close scrutiny; Li Susu felt a chill in her heart, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Under Qin Chuan's somewhat frightened gaze, Li Susu walked straight forward and grabbed the fabric of his shirt. She held the knife up, but hesitated to bring it down.
Tears welled in her eyes as she questioned him.
"Qin Chuan, you say you've worked so hard to raise me, but don't forget whose money you've been spending all these years! Without me, could you have gone abroad for further studies!"
Qin Chuan's face immediately fell.
"Li Susu, stop making a mountain out of a molehill. Look at yourself! Who would want you if you left me?!"
"Besides, how could a country girl like you have so much money if she wasn't doing some shady things behind the scenes?!"
"And let me tell you, I stopped going to that lousy school a long time ago!"
"Chuan, don't talk to your older sister like that." Chu Yun'er gently patted Qin Chuan's arm and said softly. "She may be going through early menopause and is emotionally unstable. Housewives are all like that, so please be understanding."
“She has served you for so many years, and if it weren’t for her, how could we have lived so well abroad all these years?”
Li Susu bit her lower lip hard, her chest heaving violently, resentment and grief intertwined, tearing at her brain.
Qin Chuan, that damned phoenix man, is nothing but a shameless bloodsucking leech!
It's a pity that her five years of devoted love all went to this ungrateful wretch!
She held a kitchen knife, the blade grazing Qin Chuan's cheek before finally stopping near his carotid artery: "Qin Chuan, I don't want to argue with you anymore. If you don't get a divorce, no one in this house will leave alive today. Anyway, I'm just a worthless life, what do you think?"
It wasn't until the cold blade was warmed by her body heat that Qin Chuan realized Li Susu wasn't acting.
She really dared to kill him!
In just a few seconds, Qin Chuan had already made countless mental preparations.
He didn't want to die, but he couldn't possibly divorce her!
Li Susu always had a steady stream of money, though she didn't know where it came from, but that didn't matter.
Even if it were for the money, he would never divorce Li Susu now.
Qin Chuan continuously regulated his breathing, trying to ignore the existence of the knife. His gaze towards Li Susu softened, just like when they were dating.
"Su Su, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I ignored your feelings. Please give me another chance."
Looking at Li Susu's frosty face, Chu Yun'er felt a chill run down her spine and forced a smile that was more like a grimace.
"I, Qin Chuan and I are really just friends. You, you don't misunderstand. I, I'd better not stay here anymore. I'll leave, I'll leave right away."
After saying that, he hurriedly grabbed his suitcase and ran away.
Li Susu scoffed, casually tossing the kitchen knife around and stabbing it hard at Qin Chuan's feet.
She took off her greasy apron, threw it aside, and resolutely walked towards the entrance.
"We'll get a divorce by tomorrow morning at the latest."
She left with a remark, slamming the door behind her without looking back.
After leaving the Qin family, Li Susu made a phone call and told them about her desire to get a divorce.
All she could hear on the other end of the phone was her second brother, Li Yulin, screaming hysterically.
"What do you mean you're getting a divorce? Did that bastard bully you? Does he have a death wish?! How dare he lay a hand on anyone from the Li family?"
