Qin Fengjiao felt immense pressure. It was true that the old lady wanted to hold her great-grandchild, but Xiaohan had to be willing to give birth.

Shen Menghan acted as if nothing was wrong, quietly eating her meal.

Suddenly, Runqiong looked at her and said, "Xiaohan, you can do it! The Li family is counting on you."

"Ah."

Shen Menghan gave an awkward laugh; her relationship with Li Zhicheng was truly complicated!

Li Lei shook his head: "Mom, don't put so much pressure on the children. The more pressure they have, the harder it is for them to conceive."

“I won’t put pressure on you? If I had put pressure on you back then, we wouldn’t only have one child, Zhicheng. Maybe Lufen could have given birth to several more for our family.”

Li Lei felt he shouldn't have responded. He was so choked up that he lost his appetite. After hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he put down his chopsticks and left. If he got hungry at night, he would get up to find something to eat, so as not to be watched and made uncomfortable by his elderly mother.

"I only said a few words to you and you can't stand it! I spoiled you too much back then, look what you've become!" Runqiong grumbled. Her son was disobedient, and her grandson hadn't been able to have a baby as she had hoped. She was an old woman and still had so many things to worry about.

But her son disappeared at the door without looking back. She couldn't see him even if she looked out. She sighed heavily. She really regretted it. If they had had more children, all the responsibility would have fallen on Zhicheng!

Qin Fengjiao and Shen Menghan exchanged a knowing glance, and with great tacit understanding, they put down their chopsticks at the same time, having finished eating.

"Grandma, we're full, please continue eating," Shen Menghan said respectfully to her grandmother, then stood up and went upstairs.

"Xiaohan, you need to eat more. You're so thin, it will be very difficult for you to have children later."

"Mmm, I'm going to have a midnight snack." Shen Menghan replied haphazardly. She didn't want to keep listening to her talk about the child; it was making her face burn with rage.

They went upstairs together, and after entering the bedroom, Qin Fengjiao pinned her against the wall, staring at her with a sly look, her voice becoming incredibly ambiguous: "You just kissed someone, and you've forgiven him?"

"Um, I, oh dear, I wasn't angry at all." Shen Menghan blushed under her gaze.

But her thoughts couldn't escape Qin Fengjiao's eyes. She chuckled, reached out and stroked her face, her voice becoming even gentler: "Want me to kiss you too and feel it?"

"You're crazy!" Shen Menghan couldn't take it anymore and shoved her away. She finally understood why Li Zhicheng misunderstood and was jealous, given their close relationship. It wasn't without reason; anyone would have thought the worst of it based on their current appearance.

"Xiaohan, I really don't know what they're thinking. They actually think we're a lesbian couple, hahaha!" Qin Fengjiao laughed without regard for her image. After thinking about Li Jun's words, she could easily hear the reproach in them. After that, it became a matter between the two of them.

Shen Menghan ignored her and refused to join in her craziness. What was the point of saying all this now? Let them think what they want. She didn't want to explain. If Li Zhicheng believed her, he would understand without her having to admit it herself.

After things quieted down, Qin Fengjiao leaned closer to her with a mysterious look on her face, staring intently at her: "So, do you want to have a child with him for fun?"

"Shut up! You can't say a single thing that satisfies me!" Shen Menghan glared at her fiercely. How could she be so gossipy like those people!

Seeing that she didn't answer, Qin Fengjiao took it upon herself to answer for her: "You want to, but you don't know if Aunt Shen and the others will agree."

"We'll talk about my mom later. I'm going to take a shower first. Do whatever you want." Shen Menghan stretched her back, feeling tired.

Qin Fengjiao then stopped bothering her and went outside to the balcony alone.

But then they saw Xu Jingjing on the balcony, seemingly arguing with Li Guowei, and the two were pushing each other.

"I'm not leaving! Why should I leave? Am I still a member of the Li family? I was even beaten, and you didn't even help me. Have you never loved me at all?"

Xu Jingjing was worried that if she left, she would never be able to come back, so she thought about discussing it with Li Guowei. However, his family unanimously decided that she should leave first to avoid the limelight.

"Stop making a fuss. The house is a complete mess right now. We'll bring you back after we've sorted out these problems. You're just pretending to leave now. You can come back in a day or two."

Li Guowei was incredibly annoyed, and Xu Jingjing was still causing trouble. He really wanted to slap her. How come he hadn't noticed how unreasonable she was before?

Xu Jingjing simply leaned against the wall and remained still, to see what Li Guowei could do to her.

“You, you, I’ll take you back. At worst, I’ll stay with you at your parents’ house for a couple of days. If you upset your uncle, he might kick our whole family out, which would be even worse.”

Li Guowei sighed heavily. Although he resented Li Zhicheng, he was still afraid deep down.

Xu Jingjing then calmed down and went back to the house to pack their luggage.

In the next room, Huang Ju and Li Dahai faced off.

Li Dahai sat in his wheelchair, staring out onto the balcony, ignoring Huang Ju. It was Huang Ju who was making trouble; she hadn't stopped since she came back.

"You said all those properties are gone, all that money is gone, where did you put it all? Did you keep another woman on the side?" Huang Ju felt like she was about to choke. She had always thought they were disliked, but it turned out he was the one who caused it all.

"Those things happened before you married into the Li family. It's none of your business. If you're going to keep making a fuss here, then get out." Li Dahai was hit where it hurt, and his tone was very sharp. As the head of the family, he had indeed been living a carefree and extravagant life for a while, but that was all in the past. If he hadn't been indulging in a life of luxury and debauchery in his early years, he probably wouldn't be Li Leichao.

"Do you have any debts? We haven't saved any money over the years. Have you been giving away all your salary to others?" Huang Ju became even more agitated.

"My salary card isn't in your hands, so you know better than anyone where it's all spent." Li Dahai stabbed hard again, feeling that Huang Ju was going to keep making a fuss. He was tired and just wanted to rest.

"Who knows if you only received half of your salary into your account and spent the other half elsewhere?"

"You! I can't be bothered with you!" Li Dahai didn't expect her to be so suspicious! Even if he did that, what could she do? Could he get the money back after it was spent?

"Li Dahai, I've been married to you for over twenty years and I've never had a single day of glory. You, you, I must have been blind to have fallen for you back then."

"I must have been blind to marry a useless woman like you!"

"You dare say I'm useless? I'm useless for giving you two sons! Li Dahai, you've gone too far!"

Huang Ju seemed to have lost her mind, and forcefully pushed Li Dahai's wheelchair.

Li Dahai didn't know where to place the object and immediately bumped into the bed. Luckily, it wasn't a wooden bed, otherwise he would have suffered a lot from the impact!

Huang Ju not only didn't go over to help support the wheelchair, but even turned around and walked away, unwilling to look at Li Dahai anymore, feeling that she was really wronged.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she heard Xu Jingjing and Li Guowei arguing. After hearing this, she felt even more heartbroken, thinking that Li Zhicheng must be determined to wipe them out!
