After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Li Haokai succeeded.

His words did indeed provoke Lu Shuyao.

However, the consequences of this provocation were something he hadn't anticipated.

Lu Shuyao stared coldly at him as she slowly approached. Her icy gaze was exactly the same as the one she had given him the night she invited him to drink.

Li Haokai couldn't help but shiver.

He couldn't understand how that delicate, lovely, and gentle woman, who almost never spoke loudly, had become like this in such a short time.

Not only were they fierce, but they were also chillingly terrifying.

Don't say that she was forced into this situation by him; that's not her true nature.

He wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.

He simply doesn't love her anymore and wants to leave her.

What a big deal.

With so many divorces around the world, does every divorced woman have to end up like her?

Does every man who files for divorce owe them something?

Therefore, he felt that Lu Shuyao was just like that by nature—ruthless and vicious. Even though they were about to go their separate ways, she still wanted to kill him.

It's absolutely hateful.

She was too good at pretending before; he was completely fooled by her.

"What, what do you want?"

Li Haokai, slumped on the ground, unconsciously covered his groin with his hand, his voice trembling.

He hadn't recovered his strength yet, and her gaze was terrifying, as if she were about to devour him alive at any moment.

Lu Shuyao walked up to Li Haokai, looking down at him with a gentle yet icy tone: "My parents, are you even worthy to mention them?"

As he spoke, he slapped Li Haokai across the face.

Li Haokai was completely stunned.

He thought she would attack him there again.

It's simply impossible to guard against!

"you……"

Li Haokai struggled to get up, but suddenly, he was slapped on the other side of his face.

"I should have sent you to my parents so you could apologize to them in person, but your worthless life doesn't deserve it!"

As Lu Shuyao spoke, she kicked Li Haokai in the groin.

Wasn't he just trying to cover it up?

Then she would grant his request.

Li Haokai painfully removed his hand from his face and moved it downwards.

He really felt that he might be finished.

The intense pain caused sweat to bead on his forehead.

"Lu Shuyao, you, you're committing intentional assault! The police are coming soon, I'm going to sue you to the death..."

And her boss.

No, it should be her lover.

He's determined to sue those two scoundrels to the death!

Li Haokai clutched his genitals, curling up on the ground in agony.

But his eyes glared fiercely at Lu Shuyao, "Don't be so arrogant, you'll pay the price for your actions!"

"Furthermore, why should I apologize to your parents? They raised such a vicious woman like you, who has persecuted me to this state. They are the ones who should apologize to me!"

As Li Haokai spoke, he looked up and glanced around.

He then crawled on his stomach and moved nearly two meters to the side.

The place where he attacked Lu Shuyao was one he deliberately chose; there were no surveillance cameras there.

But things are different now. He has to stay in a place with surveillance cameras so that his beatings won't be in vain.

The proof is like a mountain!

"If you want my parents to apologize to you, you'll have to see them first."

Lu Shuyao looked up at the surveillance camera diagonally above her head, then continued:

"Didn't you just accuse me of intentional assault? Well then, I'll just go all the way and commit intentional homicide, how about that?"

"That way, you'll have a chance to meet my parents."

Upon hearing Lu Shuyao's words, Li Haokai felt the hairs on his entire body stand on end.

"Wha, what do you mean?"

Intentional homicide?

That way I'll have a chance to see my parents.

What did she mean by that?

"What's the meaning!"

"That means you have to pay for my parents' lives!"

life for a life?

Li Haokai was stunned.

When did he harm her parents?

He hasn't seen or contacted them at all recently.

Uh, wait.

Does she mean her parents are gone? Neither of them?

When did this happen?

How come he didn't know?

At this moment, Li Haokai had a head full of question marks.

Lu Shuyao wouldn't try to fool him with something like this.

But how did he end up harming them?

He didn't even...

Oh no.

Li Haokai suddenly remembered that some time ago, under pressure from Lin Xiaoshan, he had made a phone call to his father-in-law.

He recalled that his father-in-law became somewhat agitated after hearing the purpose of his phone call.

But I still tried my best to persuade him to seriously consider his relationship with Lu Shuyao.

At the time, he intended to say a few polite words and then hang up.

But since Shanshan was listening nearby, he felt he had to say a few harsh words to threaten her.

Otherwise, Shanshan will think he's useless and get angry!

So, on the phone, Li Haokai not only threatened and cursed Lu Shuyao, but also dragged Lu Shiyi into it.

Of course, these were just exaggerated scare tactics on his part.

After all, in his parents-in-law's eyes, he was a very capable son-in-law; if he said he would persecute their two daughters, he would definitely be able to do it.

However, his threats and intimidation did not lead to his father-in-law's compromise.

Instead, my father-in-law smashed the phone.

He heard a 'bang' before the call was forcibly disconnected.

He guessed that his father-in-law was so angry that he smashed the phone.

Because that's how Lu Shuyao is; she throws her phone when she goes crazy.

They are alike, father and daughter.

……

Thinking about this, Li Haokai suddenly had a bold guess.

So, that wasn't the sound of a phone being smashed? Did something happen to my father-in-law?

But he only threatened and cursed a couple of times; he couldn't possibly be that fragile.

If he were to be blamed for harming others because of this, he would be so wronged.

Li Haokai looked up at Lu Shuyao, whose eyes were bloodshot, and then glanced at the surveillance camera diagonally above him.

"What does your parents' death have to do with me? I did call your dad and said some things he really didn't like to hear, but it was just a phone call. He couldn't handle it himself. Is it my fault? Maybe he wasn't going to live much longer anyway..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

Lu Shuyao turned around and picked up a stone the size of a goose egg from the flower bed next to her, then walked towards Li Haokai.

Her earlier threat of 'intentional homicide' might have just been a bluff, but now, all she wants is to go over and beat him to a pulp, cripple him, or even kill him.

"Come on, if you've got the guts, hit here! Hit hard, hit with all your might! If I don't, you're an unfilial daughter!"

Li Haokai sat up straight, pointed to his head, and kept making provocative remarks.

Without hesitation, Lu Shuyao raised the stone and smashed it down on Li Haokai's head.

However, Zeng Ruijie stopped him just as he was about to land.

"Once you throw that stone, the situation changes."

Zeng Ruijie had witnessed the conversation between Lu Shuyao and Li Haokai.

He then understood why his assistant was working overtime like crazy.

Just like he was three years ago.

They were all just living like machines, mindless zombies, for the sake of their loved ones.

It has no soul, only a shell.

"You think it's okay just because you didn't smash it?" Li Haokai continued to shout.

“What you’ve done is intentional assault, and it’s egregious in nature.”

"I'll say it again, I'll sue you to death..."
