"You should rest first." Xu Ke didn’t continue arguing with her on this issue and left directly.
When Xu Ke returned to the main hall, apart from Lin Shichang who was still in the living room, Li Lihua and Lin ngchen were already nowhere to be seen. "They went upstairs?" Although Xu Ke phrased it as a question, he didn’t wait for Lin Shichang’s reply. His eyes turned cold as he went directly upstairs.
There were five rooms upstairs: a study, a gym, and the remaining three rooms, one of which was his and Lin ngyao’s bedroom. Excluding these three, Xu Ke directly headed towards the other two rooms and found Li Lihua in one of them.
"Where is Lin ngchen?" Xu Ke asked with a gloomy face.
"How would I know, get out and don’t disturb my rest." Li Lihua waved her hand at Xu Ke as if shooing away a fly, dismissing him.
Xu Ke’s lips curled into a cold, expressionless arc, giving Li Lihua a deep look before leaving the room and walking towards the other rooms. Finally, he found Lin ngchen standing silently by the bed in his and Lin ngyao’s bedroom.
"Get out!" Xu Ke said coldly, as he didn’t like others intruding into his and Lin ngyao’s room.
"Why? Why do you like her? What’s so good about her?" Lin ngchen asked standing beside Xu Ke.
These days, she had been recalling every detail of the Yun Family banquet, rging Xu Ke with the shadow in her heart. She had a rough guess, and the result was sothing she couldn’t accept. Why was everything good always Lin ngyao’s since childhood? It’s not fair.
Looking at Lin ngchen’s passionate yet mad eyes, Xu Ke had no desire to answer her questions. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room. He then went to Li Lihua’s room and dragged her off the bed in the sa manner.
"Let go of , Xu Ke, have you gone mad? What are you doing, are you rebelling? Do you believe when I say I’ll tell ngyao about this and make her divorce you?" Li Lihua scread, her piercing voice hurting Xu Ke’s ears, making the veins on his forehead throb.
"Shut up!" Xu Ke roared at Li Lihua.
"If you don’t let go of , I’ll keep screaming. Shichang, co quickly and help ." Li Lihua, dragged to the living room and seeing Lin Shichang sitting on the sofa, brightened up her eyes and imdiately called out to him for help.
Lin Shichang glanced at Xu Ke’s angry face and chose to close his eyes, pretending to see nothing.
Seeing Lin Shichang’s evasive behavior, Li Lihua almost went crazy. She started cursing at Lin Shichang, ignoring Xu Ke who was still dragging her. "Lin Shichang, are you even a man? Your wife is being bullied, and you don’t even make a sound. You’re spineless. I must have been blind to marry you, a useless man neither scholarly nor martial. You’re a complete waste, useless, I spit on you!" Li Lihua spat fiercely at Lin Shichang.
But soon she had no ti to scold because she and Lin ngchen were thrown out of the villa by Xu Ke. "Tonight you’ll sleep outside. If you dare go upstairs without my permission again, it won’t just be a night outside. I’ll throw you down the mountain." Xu Ke said coldly and harshly closed the door in front of them.
"If I find out you let them in, I’ll throw you out too." Xu Ke coldly glanced at Lin Shichang sitting on the sofa and said coldly.
"Xu Ke, let in, you coward. How dare you treat like this? Do you believe when I say I’ll make Lin ngyao divorce you? Without the Lin Family, you’re nothing. How dare you treat like this? I won’t let you off." Li Lihua shouted and cursed as she banged on the villa door.
"Lin Shichang, you dog, we’ve been together for over twenty years, and this is how you treat ? You didn’t even stand up for your wife, and you pretend you didn’t see anything. Are you even a man? No wonder you couldn’t father a son in your life because you’re a useless coward. Damn you!" Li Lihua cursed at Lin Shichang.
"Huh." Lin ngchen gave a cold hum, watching her hysterical mother.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Lihua was like a firecracker that could go off at any ti, especially when provoked.
"Stop scolding, n are no good. No matter how hoarse you shout, they won’t soften their hearts." Lin ngchen sneered with an expressionless face.
"Better to go to the garage; hiding in the car is better than feeding mosquitoes outside."
Lin ngchen’s words woke Li Lihua. She had the car keys with her, which ca in handy.
Li Lihua grabbed Lin ngchen’s arm and said excitedly, "I didn’t expect two lousy n like them. Luckily, we have car keys to hide in the car. n are unreliable, and so is your eldest sister. She must be deaf not to co out and see or help out. ngchen, you’re all I have now, please be good to your mom and don’t be like your sister."
"Okay." Lin ngchen said with her head lowered, a sneer on her face unseen by Li Lihua, who thought she still had a considerate daughter as her mind balanced out sowhat.
That night, Lin ngyao peacefully slept in Xu Ke’s arms, while Li Lihua and Lin ngchen spent the night in the car, feeling uncomfortable all over. Though mosquito-free, the car wasn’t spacious, leaving them cramped with their limbs folded awkwardly. Co morning, their joints ached and creaked painfully.
"I think I heard so sounds last night." Lin ngyao frowned, looking puzzled as she spoke to Xu Ke. She had slept soundly the previous night, only vaguely hearing noises but never waking up.
Seeing Lin ngyao’s inquiring eyes, Xu Ke explained the events of the past night briefly, "Sister Zhou needs at least half a month to recover, so house chores will be on us."
"Okay, what about my mom?" Lin ngyao hesitated, licking her dry lips before asking.
"I let them in. Don’t worry. They spent the night in the garage; it’s no big deal. Breakfast is ready. I’ll drop you at work afterward." Xu Ke glossed over the matter lightly, watching Lin ngyao smile brightly and enjoy her al, which made Xu Ke smile as warmly as the sunrise, leaving Lin ngyao montarily dazed.
