Chapter 408 - "Don’t worry too much. It will get better from this point forward." (2)
Cancelling her ticket, Shu Yan took Shu Li with her to go look for Shu Jianyang.
“You want a divorce?” Shu Jianyang’s eyes widened. He glanced over at Shu Yan. She wasn’t the only who instigated it, was she?
Shu Yan rolled her eyes, “The divorce is Second Sister’s own idea. You can ask her the details and hear it from her directly.”
After listening to the story, Shu Jianyang slammed on the table. “Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?”
Sooner? What good would that have done? He was their brother but not their real brother. Shu Li didn’t have the guts to look for Shu Jianyang.
“Third Brother, my thought is to do what I have done again and repeat what I have done to Ye Zhiqiang on Lu Qingwei,” said Shu Yan with a smile.
Shu Jianyang stroked his chin. “Don’t worry. I will take care of it.”
Just as Shu Li had said, Lu Qingwei agreed to a divorce as she as she brought it up. The two, however, disagreed on the matters of the children. Lu Qingwei was okay with Shu Li bringing their son with her but not the daughter.
Their daughter was already 12 years old and could help out a lot at home. In a few years’ time, she would be able to bring in a sizeable bride money. Naturally, Lu Qingwei did not want the daughter to leave with Shu Li.
Shu Yan had a pretty good idea what was going through his mind. She didn’t have to the time to engage with him but had Shu Jianyang brought some of his men with him. When roughly 30 big, strong men spread out in the yard, Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Qingwei were intimidated right away.
They knew that Shu Jianyang was close with the mayor and the cops so there was no point in calling the cops. They had mistreated Shu Li in the past because Shu Jianyang would not have interfered with Shu Li’s matters. Now that Shu Jianyang had stepped up, they no longer had the courage to yell at Shu Li.
“Xiao Li, you can’t take both children with you. What would people in town say about me? You need to at least leave me with one of them.” Lu Qingwei went for a softer approach when brute forcing was no longer an option.
“Sure. Then I’ll have Pingan stay with you. I will take my daughter with me.” Shu Li stared at Lu Qingwei. Seeing the reluctance on his face, she mocked, “There is no way I will leave my daughter with you. Who knows what kind of a person you will sell her to being an animal like you? I am already where I am but I do not wish that my daughter will have to go through what I had.”
Shu Li’s daughter followed behind her tightly. Her eyes reddened the moment she heard her mother’s words.
She was genuinely frightened. What was she do to if her mother left with her brother?
“Don’t worry. Mom will bring you with,” said Shu Li as she held her daughter’s hand.
“What? Are you reluctant?” said Shu Jianyang as he gave Lu Qingwei and his family a smile that wasn’t a smile.
Lu Qingwei showed his yellowish teeth and smiled, “Third Brother, I really have a lot of respect for you. They are my children too. I don’t think I am asking a lot for her to leave one of them behind.”
“Yes, one of them. Daughter or son. For sure we will keep one.” Shu Li’s aunt gave Lu Qingwei a look.
Shu Li put her children over her own life. Compared to her healthy daughter, she would be more worried to leave her son behind.
Lu Qingwei got what his sister was trying to tell him and shouted. “That’s right. You were the one asking for a divorce. I am not asking for a lot for one of the two children, daughter or son.”
Lu Qingwei wasn’t the only one who figured that out. Shu Yan, too, had figured that out. Shu Jianyang hrumphed. What a shameless bunch.
Shu Jianyang tossed a stack of photos onto the table and said, “Why don’t you take a look at these first?”
