Chapter 433 Divorce
For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
However, it was clear that Lu Yichen was not going to let it go. His gaze was still fixed on Mr. Zhong. "There's no way I can let this matter go."
Zhong Nianyao looked around calmly, without saying anything, but just sitting there quietly. She didn't seem to want to get involved, but her attitude was already very clear.
Mr. Zhong sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Mrs. Zhong on the side seemed to sense Mr. Zhong's intention. She reached out and held Mr. Zhong's hand, as if to give him strength in this way.
Feeling his wife's silent comfort, Mr. Zhong raised his head with a firm look in his eyes. He looked at Zhong Mingyu and said, "Second brother, get a divorce!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. They seemed unable to believe what they had just heard.
"Dad, I--" Zhong Mingyu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"No, I don't want a divorce!"
After the initial shock, Li Yiqiu came to her senses. Her face was filled with panic, and she could no longer hold back the tears that kept falling. "I will never divorce you."
She turned her head and looked at the troubled Zhong Mingyu. She reached out her hand, grabbed his wrist, and kept saying, "Hubby, I don't want a divorce. We can't get divorced! Our Xiaokang was just born not long ago. He can't be without his mother!"
Li Yiqiu was really scared at this time. She had thought of many ways that Mr. Zhong would punish her, but she had never thought that Mr. Zhong would ask her to divorce so directly.
She doesn't want a divorce, and she can't. If she divorces, what will she do in the future? What will happen to her children?
Also, if her family knew the reason for her divorce, they would never accept her back. Then she would really have nowhere to go.
"I--" Zhong Mingyu looked at his wife who was crying miserably in front of him, with emotion in his eyes.
But when his eyes fell on his father, he felt a pang of guilt. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
No matter what, this wife has been with him for so many years, and even though she has other lovers outside, she has never thought of divorce. Especially now that they have just given birth to a son.
But now that his wife had done something like that and hurt Mr. Lu, and his father had spoken personally, he couldn't refute it.
As if she had noticed something, Li Yiqiu suddenly stood up, walked quickly to Mr. Zhong, and knelt down directly. "Dad, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time! Just for Xiaokang's sake, please don't let Mingyu divorce me!"
Looking at Li Yiqiu kneeling there, Mr. Zhong's expression did not change at all. With a cold face, he said, "Do you really know you are wrong?"
Upon hearing what Mr. Zhong said, Li Yiqiu became excited. A glimmer of hope rose in her eyes. She nodded repeatedly, "Really, Dad, I really know I was wrong. No matter what kind of punishment it is, I am willing to accept it, as long as Mingyu and I don't get divorced."
"Even now, you still haven't realized your mistake!" Old Madam Zhong couldn't help but sigh, her eyes filled with disappointment. "If you truly knew you were wrong, you wouldn't be begging for our forgiveness right now."
From the beginning to the end, the person Li Yiqiu wanted to harm was Zhong Nian Yao, and the person who was actually hurt was Lu Yichen, but until now, she has never apologized to them.
Mrs. Zhong suddenly spoke, leaving everyone present stunned. However, everyone present was smart and naturally understood the hidden meaning of Mrs. Zhong's words immediately.
Li Yiqiu's crying stopped abruptly, and she just stood there in a daze. For a moment, she looked extremely embarrassed.
However, before she could make the next move, Zhong Nianyao slowly turned her head and looked at Li Yiqiu, with a faint smile on her lips, "You don't need to apologize to me, because I don't intend to forgive you."
These two simple sentences cut off all of Li Yiqiu's options, leaving her feeling somewhat bewildered.
"Zhong Nianyao, don't go so far." Zhong Mengxuan jumped in immediately. "My mom has already realized her mistake, why are you still so aggressive? You're forcing my parents to divorce. What are you thinking?"
From the beginning, she had wanted to plead for her mother, but as a junior in such an occasion, she didn't know how to speak.
However, if she continued like this, her parents would really get divorced. She absolutely did not want her parents to get divorced, because then she would really be without a home.
Besides, Daddy is not that old now, and if he gets divorced, there is a high probability that he will remarry. Her relationship with Daddy is not good now, and if the stepmother comes into the family, their relationship will definitely get worse.
So, no matter what, she absolutely could not let her parents divorce.
"What does this have to do with me?" Zhong Nianyao blinked her eyes, looking innocent. "It wasn't me who asked them to divorce. Is it any use for you to tell me all this? Or are you afraid to question Grandpa, so you're forcing me here?"
Zhong Mengxuan's face flushed immediately, and she subconsciously retorted, "I didn't."
"Well, then go talk to Grandpa!" Zhong Nianyao directly pushed the matter onto Grandpa Zhong, "I didn't say anything, I just didn't want to forgive."
Mr. Zhong, who was suddenly pushed out, could only look at Zhong Nianyao helplessly, his expression was both funny and angry. However, he did not open his mouth to scold Zhong Nianyao.
Zhong Mengxuan naturally didn't dare to go to Grandpa Zhong to reason. She still looked at Zhong Nianyao, "Zhong Nianyao, why are you being so pretentious? Yes, it was indeed my mother who did something wrong this time. But she did it only for my brother. Can't you just let her go this time for the sake of her motherly love?"
"Besides, you're not injured now, are you? In the final analysis, if you were willing to heal Xiaokang in the beginning, my mother wouldn't have believed in such a messy method and taken her own blood. You also bear a certain responsibility in this matter."
