Chapter 227 The True Face of Stepmother
But if you chose to abandon them, why do you still want to show up? Isn't this disgusting?
Li Wei didn't show any mercy and knocked on the door.
Inside, Li Yuanfang was peeling chestnuts. No one would have thought that the deputy director of a certain bureau in the capital was willing to peel chestnuts one by one in the middle of winter just because his wife casually wanted to eat fried chestnuts. However, his way of doting on his wife was well known in their unit.
Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.
What's more, this beauty is the daughter of the Chang family.
Zhao Huidan was about to get up when she heard the knock on the door.
Li Yuanfang stopped her and said, "You sit down, I'll wait."
After saying that, he wiped his hands, stood up and opened the door.
"Who is it?"
Li Yuanfang still had a smile on his face, thinking that his wife would be very happy when she ate the fried chestnuts.
He had no idea who would come to his house at this time. Because of his position and his wife's family background, many people were trying their best to get in touch with them.
Li Yuanfang knew that his wife didn't like being disturbed, so he built a house in this remote place. The design of the house inside and out was all in the style his wife liked.
The moment the door was pushed open, the smile on Li Yuanfang's face froze instantly.
"Wei-Weiwei! Is that you? Is it really you?" Li Yuanfang exclaimed in surprise. He had never thought he would see his daughter here. His hands, hanging in the air, were shaking. "How...how did you find this place?"
Li Wei had a lot of questions and accusations she wanted to say to him, but the moment she actually saw her father, the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Huaichuan, who was standing by, reacted quickly. He said calmly, "Director Li, don't you welcome me?"
"You... who are you?" Li Yuanfang was stunned for a moment. Although he was usually called like this, at this moment he inexplicably heard sarcasm in the tone of the young man in front of him.
Jiang Huaichuan met his probing gaze: "I am Weiwei's husband."
"Jiang Huaichuan?"
Li Yuanfang had heard from his wife before that his daughter was married and her son-in-law was an accountant in a textile factory. His family background might seem good to others, but in his opinion, he was still far from worthy of his daughter.
Li Wei saw from Li Yuanfang's eyes that he looked down upon Jiang Huaichuan, and she felt unhappy. "Aren't you going to take another woman home? What? I'm here now, and you're blocking the door and refusing to let me in?"
Li Yuanfang coughed twice and patiently corrected her, "Weiwei, your choice of words is inappropriate. Huidan is not another woman. She is Dad's wife and your mother."
Li Wei acted as if she had just heard something funny. "My mother passed away a long time ago. Aren't you afraid that she'll come after you at night when you say that?"
"You...what are you talking about, kid?" Li Yuanfang's face turned a little uneasy when he mentioned his late wife. "I know you may not be able to accept Daddy's remarriage for the time being, but your Aunt Huidan is not a bad person. You don't have to be so hostile to her."
"Now she is pregnant with dad's child. The doctor said it's a boy, and that will be your little brother. You are grown up now. Dad doesn't ask you to understand him, but he also hopes that our family can live in harmony."
Li Wei was so angry at his words that her chest heaved up and down, and her hands clenched into fists. If the man in front of her was not her father, she would have gone up and slapped him.
"Are you worthy enough to say such things to me? Why should I give her such a cold shoulder?!"
"I was raised by my grandfather, you have no right to ask me to do anything!"
