Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

“He went to another city and said he’d let my mom divorce him however she wanted.” Li Zhicheng was quite calm; he thought this was exactly the result his mother wanted.

Her only miscalculation was that her father had already lost everything.

"He's running away. I need him to come back and explain himself to me. How could he have nothing? The Li family business was always under his name, and he had several properties. How could he have lost them all? Could he have secretly given all those assets to that woman?" Lu Fen cursed angrily. All she did was cause trouble to get more assets.

She couldn't accept being told that Li Lei had lost everything.

"When he handed the Li family business over to me, he had already transferred all the assets to my name. If you want them back, fine, go ahead and file a lawsuit and have the judge transfer your share to your name."

Li Zhicheng no longer had any concerns. Thinking about his mother, he no longer saw any need to keep her. A scheming woman was certainly bad, but it depended on the situation. He hated women like his mother the most.

"You! Zhicheng, I'm your mother!" Lu Fen cried out in anguish; she had raised Li Lei's son.

“I know, I will support you. As for what happened between you two, I have no interest in it. But I want to have a good talk with Li Meili about what happened the night before last. I need to get justice for myself. Sister Wang, please go and call Cuicui.”

Li Zhicheng's return is to solve problems, not to create them for himself. They're all here now, which is good, and it saves him the trouble of going looking for people to come back.

Runqiong had already guessed most of it. Seeing Shen Menghan's resolute expression, she felt relieved. As long as the two of them remained as loving as ever, everything else was negotiable.

Li Meili dared not make a sound. She could only rely on her aunt now. People who have a guilty conscience are always uneasy.

Shen Menghan stared at Li Meili. This woman was truly ruthless. She would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, just like Xu Jingjing. Unfortunately, she wasn't as lucky as Xu Jingjing. Back then, when Xu Jingjing was around, she immediately cut ties with Li Guowei. But today, she chose to face the situation together with Li Zhicheng.

Ultimately, it was because she hadn't loved Li Guowei deeply enough back then, and she didn't want to compete with Xu Jingjing.

So, she and Li Zhicheng had been together for less than a month, was this true love?

She didn't know, she just wanted to follow her own heart and see how Li Meili planned it. If she kept giving in and chose to be a coward, when would she ever become a truly strong person?

Soon, Cui Cui came down. Her eyes were red and swollen, probably from crying non-stop. After she arrived, she immediately knelt down and kept saying sorry. No one pitied her, but she still continued to perform as if nothing had happened.

"Cui Cui, were you the only one in my house the night before last?" Li Zhicheng began his interrogation, demanding an answer.

"Yes, but Miss Biao did ask me for something in the middle."

"Li Meili, did you put the drug in my water?" Li Zhicheng's voice was icy, giving her no chance to breathe.

"I... I just grabbed the things and left immediately. I didn't know what you meant, cousin. I don't know what kind of medicine it was," Li Meili denied outright.

"Then, you remember sending yourself a message using my phone?"

"No, I didn't leave the room until I received your message, cousin. You can ask my aunt if you don't believe me. She even asked me where I was going so late."

In her desperation, Li Meili dragged Lu Fen into the mess so that she could take the blame for herself.

“Yes, Meili asked me about it, and when I knew it was you who was looking for her, I told her to go over there immediately.” Lu Fen is now on the same side as Li Meili and has no regard for her son’s feelings at all.

"Heh, when did you come to my room? Do you remember?" Li Zhicheng's voice suddenly rose several decibels.

"Fifteen past one."

"You remember it so clearly, are you sure?" Li Zhicheng smiled mockingly.

Li Meili nodded.

"Then let me tell you, you appeared in my room at 1:05, but I sent a message to your phone at 1:12. How do you explain that?" Li Zhicheng bluntly exposed her lie.

"I must have misremembered. I probably arrived at your room at 1:30," Li Meili hurriedly corrected herself.

"Are you sure you'll be in my room at 1:30?" Li Zhicheng didn't want to argue with her anymore.

Li Meili thought for a moment, then nodded very firmly.

"Let me tell you, you came to my room at 1:05. The time is crystal clear on the security camera footage. Li Meili, you disgust me!"

Li Zhicheng stood up, pointed at her, and wished he could slap her. She almost ruined him. Fortunately, Xiao Han gave him a chance and worked with him to find the flaws. Otherwise, he was too anxious at the time and did not sort out the whole thing. He almost fell into her trap.

Li Meili turned pale with fright, but she still tried to argue, "I didn't lie. Maybe your surveillance time is messed up."

"Mom, this is your closest niece. She has always wanted to replace Xiaohan. Her methods are too clever. I almost believed her. Unfortunately, she forgot that we have surveillance cameras in our house! Li Meili, you will not succeed. Moreover, I will make you pay a heavy price."

Li Zhicheng took out his phone and dialed the police.

The situation changed so quickly that it caught everyone off guard, and Li Meili was so frightened that she trembled all over.

"Zhicheng, what are you doing?" Lu Fen had a bad feeling.

“Naturally, I’ll let the police handle everything. I won’t tolerate anyone trying to harm me. This time they didn’t succeed, but who knows if it will happen again or the time after that? So, to prevent future troubles, I have to take some precautions for myself.”

Li Zhicheng looked at Li Meili coldly. He hadn't always disliked this woman; he had even considered treating her like a younger sister. Unfortunately, she ruined her position by causing trouble, and this disastrous outcome was entirely her own doing.

"Stop right now! You can't hit her! You can't hit her! No matter if she did it or not, you can't hit her! If you hit her, you'll destroy the Li family!"

Lu Fen frantically tried to stop him. She couldn't let her son do this. If it turned out that Mei Li was the one who did it, everything would be over. Mei Li was like her own daughter, hundreds of times closer to her than her son. She couldn't just stand by and watch her be ruined.

Li Zhicheng ignored her, but she pounced on him and tried to snatch the phone.

Shen Menghan was almost knocked down by her.

"Alright, Zhicheng, Grandma knows what happened. Stop hitting her. Kick Li Meili out of the Li family. Let's leave it at that. Also, Lu Fen, you should leave too. Go back to your Li family. Our Li family's relationship with you is over."

Runqiong said with great heartache, tears streaming down her face, that she blamed herself for not managing the family well.
