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

Li Qinghe called her mother.

Lu Chunlian supports not getting a divorce.

“I’m so worried I can’t sleep. You said you got divorced and are taking Xixi with you. I feel so sorry for you. If you can be with Qingyi, then be with him. It’s fine if Qingyi can take you away from Nandi. You three can live a good life together.”

Li Qinghe said, "I'm worried about what his parents will say about me, and he works here, so I don't know where to go."

Lu Chunlian said, "Oh dear, we should be able to transfer his firm there, right? His mother is a lawyer, so she should be able to help. You two should discuss it, and the whole family can work together."

Li Qinghe nodded, but deep down she still lacked her own opinions and felt strange.

Lu Chunlian wanted to contact Li Wenhong, but Li Qinghe didn't plan to divorce him and wanted to leave Nandi with Song Qingyi.

I hope he'll stop thinking about money; his daughter's happiness is the most important thing!

Li Wenhong didn't think about the phone call. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow his anger. He went out early in the morning behind his grandfather's back and arranged to meet Song Chenggong and Leng Suhua alone.

Song Chenggong didn't want to see him, while Leng Suhua wanted to see what other tricks Li Wenhong was up to.

Seeing that Song Chenggong hadn't arrived, Li Wenhong turned his gaze to Leng Suhua.

“In-laws, Qinghe’s mother and I discussed it all night, and it won’t work. The child has to take the surname Song again and go to school in Nandi. Isn’t this clearly restricting Qinghe from finding a partner? The child is also close to you, so this won’t do.”

Leng Suhua sneered, "So what do you want? You just think the money isn't enough? Tell me, how much money do you want?"

Li Wenhong quickly waved his hand, "I really don't think the money is too little. These past few years, Qinghe has been raising the child alone. I, as her father, have seen how hard she has worked, how tired she is, and how heartbroken she is. Qingyi is willing to give ten million, which is actually quite a lot, but I think there's something I need to talk to you about."

"What is it?" Leng Suhua thought to herself, "Just spit it out."

Li Wenhong looked troubled. "Qingyi has had several relationships, but our Qinghe has only ever been with Qingyi. She has never been with anyone else and has never been in a relationship."

As he spoke, Li Wenhong spread his hands, "Your son's mistake a few years ago ruined my daughter's reputation. They got married and now they want a divorce. Are you trying to make a fool of us?"

Leng Suhua was furious, slamming her hand on the table. "Who's treating whom like a fool?! When we proposed, we gave a seven-figure dowry, and then Xixi wanted to change her name. I told Qinghe that we'd discuss it with you, and Qinghe said we did. But Chunlian said we didn't. Don't you know?"

"I felt bad that I sent your family over 100,000 yuan worth of gifts, right? Qinghe bragged that I bought her a car, which caused her dad to spend a day in the police station, and I didn't pursue the matter with her, did I?!"

"I thought you guys had some family wealth, but his dad said that the old house and villa where your grandfather lives were all bought after Jingchen made his fortune. Your family didn't contribute a single penny."

"Okay, we didn't look down on you for not having money, did we?"

"You caused a hit-and-run, you broke the law, and you're trying to drag our family down with you. When we didn't help, you started blaming us, demanding a divorce and money, and more,"

"Your daughter is still talking about us behind our backs. You're using your child to smear us and make her resent us."

"Now we've given you the house and the money, so I'm asking you, who's making a fool of whom?!"

Seeing that Leng Suhua was angry, Li Wenhong immediately wilted a bit, "Father-in-law, don't be angry, it's not that bad."

"I just feel that my daughter is a perfectly healthy young woman, and she's raising a child all by herself."

"Qinghe said she didn't want that ten million, that silly girl..."

Leng Suhua interrupted him impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. You said you wanted a divorce, so stop arguing. It's your family that's always causing trouble, and I'm too lazy to talk about it anymore. I'll give you another six million, take it or leave it. If you want to go to court, I'm all for it; that's my line of work."

Li Wenhong pretended to be hesitant. "It would be too ugly to go to court. Let's just leave it at that. Give me the six million. I'll talk to Qinghe. I won't argue anymore. Xixi will still have the surname Song."

Leng Suhua was furious. She had said it wasn't about the money, but now she agreed so readily to the extra six million.

How can someone be so shameless?

Back home, Leng Suhua told Song Chenggong that Li Wenhong had asked for another six million.

"What? Six million? You gave it to him?"

"He kept babbling on and on, saying that Qingyi had ruined Qinghe. He was obviously trying to expose this. He said he didn't want money, but after being offered six million for the sake of the child, he immediately backed down. It makes me so angry. How can there be such a person?"

Song Chenggong's face darkened. "No wonder Li Qinghe hasn't come back yet. She's probably home dividing up the money, having a good time. I've known for a long time that she's vain, but you wouldn't listen."

Leng Suhua glared at him. Was this her fault?

Didn't he agree to the marriage proposal in the first place?

"I thought she was Jingchen's sister, so the girl must be nice, but who knew..."

Song Chenggong became more serious. "It was that kid Li Jingchen who was behind this. After Zhu Jianbin stepped down, he helped Tian Fuqiang take over. That kid had already sided with the Tian family and wanted to bring me down, so he started with Qingyi."

Leng Suhua didn't understand. What do you mean?

Could it be that last time...

Song Chenggong walked to the windowsill with his hands behind his back. "Now I understand why Li Jingchen asked Yuan Gang to save me when I was being investigated. He was probably the one who cried wolf and got me into this mess."

Leng Suhua was stunned. "No way, Jingchen and Qingyi are such good friends. Don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence."

Song Chenggong snorted, "If he doesn't get along with Qingyi, how can he take advantage of his cousin to marry into our family and ruin our whole family? Qingyi is naive and even considers him his brother. Sigh, we really need to warn him."

Leng Suhua didn't say anything, just then Song Qingyi returned.

Song Chenggong invited him into the house and said, "It's good that you're back. Don't associate with that kid Li Jingchen anymore. He's cunning. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how he played you to death."

Song Qingyi was speechless. "Are you ever going to stop? Are you delusional? Do you really think everyone wants to harm you?"

Song Chenggong said, "Don't disbelieve me. Why was I arrested? Why is Li Wenhong so arrogant? Do you think it might be because Li Jingchen tacitly approved it?"

Song Qingyi said, "Let me take you to get your brain checked. If you have dementia, you should step down and stop harming the people."

Leng Suhua said, "What your father said makes sense; one should always be wary of others."

"Mom, have you been brainwashed by this old man too? What does this have to do with Li Jingchen? I just met him a few days ago. Jiang Tong is pregnant again, and he's very busy."

Song Chenggong's face darkened. "Just look at this kid. He's living a good life while making our family miserable. Just wait and see."

Song Qingyi was too lazy to waste words with him. "I'm planning to move out. I'm taking Qinghe and Xixi away from Nandi."

"what?!"
