"Xiaomin, shut up! How dare you talk to your father like that?"
Li Dafu never expected his wife to be so bold; she was usually very respectful.
“I hate Grandpa. I don’t want to go to Beijing. I want to go to my maternal grandparents’ house with Mom.”
Li Yiyi said fiercely, pouting and looking sullen.
"Hmph! Look at you, you're nothing like my sister, my mother, or my niece."
Li Zhaomei's words startled Li Dafu, who then asked blankly, "Why do you want it to look like her?"
"Why? Because apart from my sister, no one in our Li family can have a daughter."
Everyone was stunned when Li Zhaomei said those words, including Su Zhenzhu.
"What does 'recruiting a girl' mean?"
She put down what she was doing and glanced at Xiaomin with a grim expression.
Xiaomin's face turned pale, and she was a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down. Without evidence, who could prove that this wasn't a child from the Li family?
“Dafu, let me tell you something. Our Li family has a secret: only my mother’s, my sister’s, and my sister’s daughters can give birth to girls. It’s a tradition. Also, you were all born with a jade pendant. Grandma made it for you. Xiaoxin and Xiaoyu both wore it, but Yiyi couldn’t. Do you know why?”
Li Zhaomei smiled coldly and said ruthlessly, "Because she is a bastard, the jade pendant will fall off as soon as she puts it on, and the rope will break."
Li Dafu immediately stood up, his tone icy, "Xiaomin, is that so? The daughter you raised for fifteen years is a bastard?"
"I...no...he's not telling the truth..."
"Tsk! Do you know why I'm saying this now?"
Li Zhaomei glanced at Xiaomin, her eyes full of sarcasm. "My mother and sister can't stand a woman like you who cheats on her husband. It's not too late for me to deal with you now, and it saves me some money."
"Ah...you're talking nonsense. I didn't steal anyone. This is Dafu's child, Dafu's child."
Xiaomin lost control. She loved Dafu so much; she hadn't cheated on him. It was that day, she was...
"Alright, I know what to do."
Li Dafu glanced at Li Xin and asked him, "You or your mother or me?"
Li Xin immediately spoke up, "I'll talk to you, Dad."
"What do you mean? Dad, why don't you want me?"
Li Yiyi panicked. She was a little scared, but she still looked up at Li Dafu.
"Don't call me Dad. I've been more than good to you for the past fifteen years, raising you to adulthood. I've really done more than enough. Aren't you going to your maternal grandparents' house? Then go ahead."
Li Dafu laughed at this moment. He glanced at Song Min, who was panicked and full of fear, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Let's get a divorce! You... I can't afford it."
"No, no, I won't, I'd rather die than get a divorce."
Song Min realized that Li Dafu completely believed his father's words. She had no chance and no way out, and she burst into tears.
"You won't get a divorce? Then I'll bankrupt your Song family. Your family will be burdened with endless debts, and I'll file for divorce. At that time, you'll go to jail."
Li Dafu smiled, but the words he uttered sent chills down her spine.
"Mom, don't be afraid. I don't want him as my dad anymore! Humph! Let's go."
Li Yiyi stood up and pulled Song Min, but Song Min didn't move. Then, "slap!" she was slapped across the face.
Li Yiyi covered her face, her expression full of disbelief. "Mom, why? Why did you hit me?" A hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Hahahaha... Why did I hit you? Why aren't you Dafu's child? Why?"
Song Min screamed with all her might, startling her sister-in-law who was standing nearby. She swallowed hard. Her mother had said that she was lucky to have given birth to a son, which would secure her position in the Li family.
If it's not a boy, she'll be in danger. She might not cheat on her husband, but what if it's a girl... Oh my god! Just thinking about it is terrifying.
The most terrifying thing is her father-in-law. Look at him, he knows without even needing a paternity test whether the child is from the Li family or not. He's more accurate than a machine.
"If I get divorced, I should get half of the property."
Song Min gritted her teeth and said with immense heartache.
Li Zhaomei spoke up again.
"Property? Hahaha... I have to say you are incredibly stupid. All the money you spent on your marriage with Dafu came from me. Dafu... didn't have a single penny."
"What? This...this is impossible, isn't the company managed by Dafu?"
Song Min hurriedly said.
"Dafu is just an employee. The company is mine, everything in the house is mine. Do you know why no one dares to mess with me, Li Zhaomei, in Haicheng?"
"I...I don't know..."
"You didn't even bother to find out the name of the Golden Scorpion of Haicheng. Instead of enjoying a good life, you're tarnishing the reputation of my Li family. You're practically asking for death."
Li Zhaomei wiped her mouth, while Su Zhenzhu, standing beside her, was completely smitten. This was her man, damnably charming.
"After the divorce, stay away from us. Just looking at you brings bad luck. And that bastard you brought along, go back to where you came from. Dafu's good days are yet to come! You can't afford to think about us anymore. Xiao Wang, see the guests out!"
"Miss Song, please!"
A man in his forties immediately came to Song Min's side and spoke very politely.
"Let me go, who cares?"
Li Yiyi pulled the dazed and distraught Song Min out of the Li family home. "Pah! It's a good thing I'm not a child of the Li family. They're so stingy and don't allow anything. It's better to stay at my maternal grandparents' house."
Li Yiyi pursed her lips, completely unconcerned.
The two returned to the Song family home, where Li Yiyi vividly recounted the whole story, embellishing it with exaggerated details about Li Zhaomei's wickedness and malicious intentions.
