The two women, who were fighting, suddenly saw Li Wenbo walk into the living room. It was like a bolt from the blue that struck their minds, and even the wooden sticks they were swinging in mid-air came to an abrupt stop.
Everyone's movements, everyone's gaze, even the air itself seemed frozen...
Li Yin's mind was filled with snowflakes. She had never felt so helpless in her life. The words she had just shouted were only to threaten Mu Jiuhong. This matter was related to Jin Cuicui. How could she dare to tell Li Wenbo?
How much did Li Wenbo hear? She dared not even think about the consequences...
Mu Jiuhong's mind went black for a while, and all her thoughts went blank.
She knew that Li Wenbo had never loved her; those defiant words he had just spoken were merely a show of bravado in the face of defeat.
She really didn't dare to gamble on whether Li Wenbo would kick her out of the house after he found out the truth!
When did Li Wenbo return? How much did he hear?
The system impatiently complained in Li Xiyue's space, "What the hell? Who pressed the pause button? Why isn't she moving? Isn't it tiring to hold up a wooden stick? Should we help her?!"
Li Xiyue blew two sunflower seed shells out of her mouth, snorted coldly, and said, "Then help them out. Don't stand there stalemates. Being dizzy won't make you die! What needs to be faced will eventually have to be faced!"
The system asked, "How can I help?!"
Li Xiyue smiled slightly, "Do I have any firecrackers in my spatial storage? Use your superpower to throw them in the yard, onto the glass!"
The system laughed like a goose, "Hehehe! I like this! Hahaha! I'll fast forward them right now!"
The next instant, Li Xiyue's X-ray vision saw more than a dozen firecrackers suddenly explode in the yard, some of which hit the glass windows, making the windows rattle loudly!
The sudden sound broke the frozen situation!
Li Yin's soul, which had been frightened and run away from home, instantly returned to its cage.
As if no one could see, she quickly dropped the stick and rushed towards Li Wenbo, crying out, "Dad! My stepmother hit me! My stepmother hit me! You have to stand up for me!"
She didn't say the most crucial sentence, and she didn't know how much Li Wenbo heard. She could only test the waters first!
Mu Jiuhong also came to her senses and realized that she was still holding the wooden stick.
She frantically threw the stick away, stammering, "Um... I... I just... I was just trying to scare you..."
Li Yin retorted, "Trying to scare me? I still have injuries on my face and body, all from you hitting me!"
Mu Jiuhong immediately retorted, "I also have injuries on my face and body, and you hit me too! We're even!"
She cautiously walked up to Li Wenbo, who hadn't said a word since then!
Her heart was in her throat, and she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.
She reached out and grabbed Li Wenbo's arm, "Um... Wenbo..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Li Wenbo pushed her away.
Words escaped from Li Wenbo's lips, one by one, "Did you bribe Jin Cuicui to drug me?..."
Li Wenbo's words exploded in Mu Jiuhong's mind. The outcome she feared most had still happened; Li Wenbo had heard everything...
Li Yin's eyes darted around as she quickly thought of a solution.
The next second, she grabbed Li Wenbo's sleeve and said, "Dad! It was her! She's the one who bribed Jin Cuicui to give you the drug!"
I overheard this secretly when Jin Cuicui was talking to her before she left!
"This is a very important matter. I was thinking of clarifying things with you first before telling you, but I didn't expect Mu Jiuhong to grab a stick and hit me, and even threaten me not to tell you about this!"
In a split second, she realized one thing: Li Wenbo had already heard her, and it was no longer possible for her to protect Jin Cuicui!
At this point, the only option is to sacrifice Jin Cuicui to preserve her position as a filial daughter in the Li family!
Mu Jiuhong was so angry that her teeth ached. She said urgently, her face turning red, "No! That's not how it is!"
She kept threatening me, borrowing 500 yuan from me and wanting to borrow another 500 yuan!
Li Yin shouted indignantly, "I'm asking you for money? What would I need so much money for?"
You must have stolen my dad's money and are trying to frame me!
"Dad, don't believe her! I don't need that much money!"
Her eyes flashed with a sharp gaze. Since it was something only the two of them knew, as long as she refused to admit it, who would dare say she had borrowed money?
Besides, now that Li Wenbo no longer trusts Mu Jiuhong, he won't believe anything Mu Jiuhong says!
She took this opportunity to smear Mu Jiuhong again, to completely crush Mu Jiuhong in the mud, and to drive her out of the house, so that Mu Jiuhong would not have the chance to turn the tables and take revenge on her!
Mu Jiuhong shouted angrily, "You took the money, that's who took the money! And you're threatening me!"
Hearing what Li Yin said, Li Wenbo walked into the living room without comment, sat down in the main seat of the sofa, looked at Mu Jiuhong with cold eyes, and said word by word, "Back then, you bribed Jin Cuicui to drug me!"
He didn't care about money at all; all he cared about was that sentence!
Li Yin hurriedly walked to Li Wenbo's side and said, "Yes! Dad. I swear to God, I didn't lie about this! If you don't believe me, wait until Jin Cuicui comes back and ask her!"
Mu Jiuhong's face turned pale, her mind buzzing as if a swarm of wasps were flying around, and she forgot about Jin Cuicui.
Once Jin Cuicui returns, she will be irrefutable proof!
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she knelt down with a thud, crawling towards Li Wenbo as she said, "Wenbo! Back then... do you know how much I loved you back then, but you wouldn't even look at me!"
I was blinded by greed and bribed Jin Cuicui... But I've been married to you for over ten years, and I've never done anything to betray you. I even raised Li Yan for you!
Please forgive me for Li Yan's sake! Let's not talk about the past anymore, and let's live a good life from now on. Okay?!
Li Wenbo pressed his fingers to his throbbing temples. In truth, that night, he had also wondered how he could have gotten so drunk...
But then he thought, how could a girl risk her innocence for such a thing? So he stopped doubting Mu Jiuhong.
Mu Jiuhong had always been his assistant. Even after Cheng Xiaohui cheated on him with another man and he divorced Cheng Xiaohui, he never considered marrying another woman. He only wanted to raise Li Yin properly...
He said, "So it turns out that back then, it really wasn't because I was drunk that I made a mistake..."
"Heh... Mu Jiuhong, I only truly know you today! Leave, let's get a divorce!"
The man's cold and distant gaze and chilling words sent a shiver down Mu Jiuhong's spine!
She hurriedly said, "Even if I was wrong, please forgive me for the sake of the fact that I gave birth to Li Yan for you!"
Li Yan walked into the living room, looking at everyone with a surprised expression. "Dad, Mom, what's wrong? Did you buy the meat buns?"
