Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

Li Dong sighed, "Qinghe, we are indeed not a good match. You'll suffer in this marriage. Actually, I talked to Song Qingyi before."

"What?" Li Qinghe asked. "He also sought out Song Qingyi alone?"

Li Dongzan said, "Since you two are getting married, I have a few words of advice for him: treat my sister well. It's obvious that he's getting married because she's pregnant, and he doesn't have very deep feelings for you. Don't be greedy for money; that's not a good thing."

Li Qinghe shouted, "He gives me money to spend, and he covers all of Xixi's expenses. So what if he doesn't love me? I'm the glamorous Mrs. Song, I live better than you all, I have a lot of face when I go out, I love money, I'm just that shallow! Are you satisfied now—"

After saying that, Li Qinghe went back to her room and slammed the door shut.

Li Dong sighed; he couldn't persuade her anymore.

That's just her personality...

Li Wenhong said, "This girl is obsessed with money. If we don't get a divorce now, we won't get a single penny later!"

They are in the right to divorce now because the Song family initiated the divorce, and Xixi is very favored.

So now is the time to make money while the kids are still young!

Li Dong sighed, "Then why did you argue with Qinghe? Couldn't you just go along with her? This will only make her more unwilling to get a divorce."

Li Wenhong said, "Don't you see how unwilling she is now? She's reluctant to give up her position as Mrs. Song. But once she's kicked out and doesn't get a single penny, I think she'll be satisfied!"

They also brought up Li Jingchen again.

"If you ask me, we shouldn't mess with these officials. Jingchen will definitely suffer too. Just wait and see."

Li Dongzan said, "My elder brother is no pushover now. Who in the entire Southern Empire dares to mess with him?"

Li Wenhong waved his hand, "Oh, let him do whatever he wants. Even if he gets arrested, it's none of our business. Go tell Qinghe to get a divorce and demand 30 million for emotional distress, with child support to be calculated separately. Otherwise, tell everyone in Quan Nan Di that Song Chenggong's son had a drunken affair and has an illegitimate daughter!"

"Wait a moment."

Li Dongzan disagreed with this approach. "Have you considered Xixi's situation? How will Xixi go to school? How will she hold her head high?"

Are people saying behind her back that she's an illegitimate child?

Li Wenhong didn't think too much about it. "Once Qinghe has money, she can leave the Southern Emperor and go somewhere else. The world is so big, who will know her or remember her? It doesn't matter."

Li Dongzan remained silent.

"Fine, if you won't tell Qinghe, I will."

Li Wenhong knocked on the door and pulled Li Qinghe, who was crying her eyes out, out. What's the use of crying now?

They're already kicking her out.

They need to seize the initiative now.

I want money, I want my children, and I want to save face!

"Set a time, tonight, and negotiate the terms with Song Chenggong. It's 30 million for emotional distress, as I said. Otherwise, it's a fight to the death. After you get the money, leave 10 million for your family, and keep the rest. Take Xixi with you."

When the topic of money came up, Li Qinghe immediately stopped crying.

With bloodshot eyes, he shouted, "Why should I leave ten million to my family?!"

Li Wenhong said, "Our family will fight for your interests. Isn't 20 million enough for you? Give the family some money, and we'll take care of things for the Southern Emperor from now on."

"What can you possibly help me with? I still have to rely on myself! I've been raising Xixi on my own these past few years! Anyway, I'm definitely taking Xixi with me, and I want the money too, but I won't ruin Qingyi's reputation. My daughter still needs to go to school! Humph!"

After saying that, Li Qinghe stormed off in a huff.

Li Dongzan said, "Alright, Qinghe is gone. You either have to smooth things over or come up with bad ideas."

Li Wenhong took a deep breath. This was a serious matter; otherwise, he wouldn't get a single penny. He had to think carefully about what to say.

"We need to call your mother back, and then we'll go to the Song family to talk. I don't think Qinghe can beat that old fox Song Chenggong. If we make her leave with nothing, our family will suffer a loss."

An hour later, Li Qinghe had returned to the Song family.

Song Qingyi and Song Chenggong were both present.

"Qinghe."

Song Qingyi walked over and said to Li Qinghe, "Why didn't you answer my calls?"

He called three times, just about to go out to find her.

Li Qinghe said, "I went back to my parents' house today, Qingyi-gege, we..."

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced in Song Chenggong's direction. Then she shouted loudly.

"Let's not have a wedding!"

"what happened?"

Li Qinghe didn't give him a definite answer and went back to her bedroom without saying a word.

Completely bewildered, Song Qingyi hurriedly returned to his room to ask her what had happened.

"Are you crying? What happened?"

Li Qinghe sniffed, "Brother Qingyi, I've been living in fear and anxiety at your house. I know you don't want to have a wedding either. If you want a divorce, then so be it. But Xixi is mine, and I can't leave with nothing."

On the way back, Li Qinghe thought it over. With her sister-in-law's example as a warning, she didn't want anything after the divorce and suffered the consequences. She didn't want to suffer like that!

She'd rather get a divorce, but she wants both the children and the money.

Song Qingyi was confused. "Qinghe, what are you talking about?"

Li Qinghe had already gone into the bathroom to wash her face.

Song Qingyi pursed her lips, her mind raced, and she immediately understood what was going on. She left the room to find Song Chenggong.

"Song failed, did you say something to Qinghe?"

"What did she tell you?" Song Chenggong turned around from the sofa.

"She said the wedding was off, and that she was under a lot of pressure and wanted a divorce. What nonsense did you spout to her?!"

Song Chenggong said, "Her father, who is a disgrace, hit someone with his car and fled the scene. He asked me to cover for him. I ask you, how can someone with such character and such a family raise outstanding children? Divorce is the best way to cut your losses!"

As soon as Leng Suhua entered the room, she heard Song Chenggong's words.

"What are you yelling about? What divorce?"

Song Chenggong stood up, pointed at Leng Suhua, and said, "You've chosen a good daughter-in-law, but she has no redeeming qualities. I think you'll be happy once I've spent ten or twenty years in jail!"

"Are you crazy?" Leng Suhua stared at Song Chenggong's back. Was he suffering from dementia?

Ask Song Qingyi what happened.

Why did Song Chenggong leave?

Song Qingyi was in a real bind.

"Qinghe's dad hit someone with his car and even asked the old man for help."

"What?" Leng Suhua exclaimed helplessly, "Is your in-law stupid? If you're going to beg someone, you should beg me! I'm a lawyer!"

"Mom, Uncle Li fled the scene of the accident."

"My God, how could his father be like this?" Leng Suhua had only met Li Wenhong twice, and when she did, he was very polite and courteous. How could he have committed a hit-and-run?

Suddenly, Leng Suhua looked down on him.

Only cowards shirk responsibility.

Just then, Li Wenhong arrived with Lu Chunlian at the door...
