Chapter 434 Let It Be
The words that reversed right and wrong shocked everyone present. They had never thought that Zhong Mengxuan could say such shameless words.
Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but applaud, a smile on her face, but her words were full of irony, "Zhong Mengxuan, they say that a tree without bark is doomed to die, and a man without shame is invincible. You have demonstrated this saying to the fullest."
"Zhong Nianyao, you--" Zhong Mengxuan was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao just as she opened her mouth.
"Wasn't what I said right?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "Do you know what heart blood is? When your mother stabbed me in the chest with that sharp knife, did she ever consider my safety? Now it seems that I was the one who was at fault first."
"Zhong Mengxuan, I'd like to ask, who taught you this sense of right and wrong?"
Zhong Mengxuan's face turned pale and blue, and she felt a burning sensation in her cheeks. Noticing the strange looks from others, she felt even more uneasy.
"Come back here." Zhong Mingyu's face was very ugly. He scolded Zhong Mengxuan, "Hurry up and sit down. Don't make any more comments."
Seeing that Zhong Mengxuan seemed to still have some objections, Zhong Mingyu spoke directly, "If you don't even listen to me, then don't call me dad anymore."
Seeing Zhong Mingyu's serious and stern expression, Zhong Mengxuan was startled and no longer dared to challenge his father's authority. Although she absolutely disagreed with her parents' divorce, she didn't dare to act rashly after hearing her father's scolding.
Zhong Mengxuan's decision to stop the affair made Li Yiqiu panic again. She didn't know what to do now, but she was unwilling to get a divorce no matter what.
She quickly stood up, walked to Zhong Mingyu again, knelt down, and cried heartbreakingly, "Mingyu, please help me beg Dad for mercy! I really don't want to divorce you. Even if you don't consider the fact that we have been married for 20 or 30 years, please consider that Xiaokang is still young!"
"Xiaokang is still so young and in such poor health. He needs my care. You can't let him lose his mother at such a young age."
Seeing Li Yiqiu crying non-stop, even the most hard-hearted person would be almost unable to bear it. Moreover, this was his wife who usually shared the same bed with him.
"Dad, Yi Qiu did something wrong this time. Please be magnanimous and forgive her this time!" Zhong Mingyu once again pleaded for his wife. "I promise that something like this will never happen again."
Seeing her father speak, Zhong Mengxuan also quickly pleaded, "Yes! Grandpa, my mother just had a wrong thought this time, she didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive her this time! Just this once."
Faced with Zhong Mingyu and Zhong Mengxuan's pleas, Old Master Zhong didn't even raise an eyelid. He gave Zhong Mingyu two choices, "One, you divorce Li Yiqiu and let her leave the Zhong family. Our Zhong family can't tolerate such a narrow-minded person. Two, you leave the Zhong family with her, and I will fulfill your deep love."
After hearing what Mr. Zhong said, Zhong Mingyu was stunned. He opened his lips but couldn't utter a single word.
Li Yiqiu looked like she was going crazy and started to scream, "No, I won't get a divorce. I will never get a divorce even if I die. As long as I don't agree, we will never get a divorce."
"You will get divorced." Old Master Zhong looked at Li Yiqiu coldly, "Unless you want everyone to know what you did. By then, your parents probably won't let you go!"
"Of course, if you still don't want a divorce, we can file for divorce. Based on what you've done, I think the court will grant a divorce."
Suddenly, Li Yiqiu lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
Although Li Yiqiu looked pitiful, no one present felt sorry for her. This just proved the saying that there must be something hateful about pitiful people.
Mr. Zhong didn't even glance at Li Yiqiu. He nodded at Lu Yichen and said, "Yichen, what happened today is our Zhong family's fault. I apologize to you. If you need any compensation, just tell us. We will do our best to provide it."
"As for Li Yiqiu, that's all I can do. As for the rest, I really can't do anything about it. After all, the fact that she has such bad intentions is not enough to serve as evidence."
He was telling the truth. He was very angry about what Li Yiqiu did, and naturally wanted to punish Li Yiqiu severely.
However, in a society ruled by law, he couldn't resort to lynching. As for the claim of "blood on one's heart," even though Li Yiqiu admitted it, even if he called the police, it wouldn't be evidence, and he wouldn't be able to do anything to Li Yiqiu.
Therefore, the only thing he could think of was to let Li Yiqiu and the second brother divorce.
Moreover, the Zhong family could not tolerate such a vicious daughter-in-law. Who knew if she would cause trouble again in the future and make someone else suffer?
In order to prevent future troubles, the last resort is to let Li Yiqiu leave the Zhong family.
This is a fact that is absolutely impossible to change.
After hearing what Mr. Zhong said, Lu Yichen's expression did not change at all. He just nodded slightly and said nothing more.
He neither said he was satisfied nor that he was dissatisfied.
No one can guess what is really going on in his mind.
At this moment, Zhong Nianyao sat up straight, glanced at Li Yiqiu, who seemed to have lost all his energy, and said lightly, "Let's just leave it at that!"
In one sentence, it seemed as if the outcome of this matter was directly determined.
Everyone's eyes were on Lu Yichen, and it was obvious that everyone was waiting for him to speak.
Although he hadn't expressed much of an opinion from beginning to end, he was a true victim in this incident. Moreover, his identity was clear.
If he was unwilling to give in, it meant that the Lu family would not give up. The Zhong family could not afford to be harassed by the Lu family, so everyone was waiting for Lu Yichen to express his opinion.
"That's it!"
As soon as these few words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was finally settled.
Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only Zhong Mingyu, Li Yiqiu, and Zhong Mengxuan.
