After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Jiawei and Li Xuanbao talked as they walked. Li Jiawei was the one talking most of the time. She didn't actually know what she was saying specifically. She just poured out her thoughts as a way of releasing herself.

There are some things she dare not say to her parents, fearing that they will worry; and it is difficult to speak to friends because they are too familiar with each other and feel that some words will appear too hypocritical. Li Xuanbao, who is actually a stranger to her, is her most ideal audience. The distance between them is just the right outlet for her to vent her emotions.

On the way back to the hotel, both of them were carrying shopping bags, each of which contained five or six bottles of water. They walked slowly on the quiet street. Li Jiawei asked, "Did I say too much today?"

Li Xuanbao shook her head and said, "No, I think what you said is very true. I am filled with busy schedules every day and have almost no time to stop and think. In fact, no matter what the living environment is, some life philosophies are the same. We live in this world to leave no regrets."

"Yes, leave no regrets. So, we should live a good life in the future, and you don't have to feel that you owe me anything." Li Jiawei said softly.

The two smiled at each other, Li Xuanbao nodded and said "OK."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Jianguo and Li Ronghua's drinking party lasted until after 3 a.m. The two fathers were drunk under the influence of alcohol. They hugged each other tightly and burst into tears. At first, they cried because of Li Jiawei and Li Xuanbao, but as time went on, crying itself became a reason. They cried just for the sake of crying, releasing the emotions in their hearts.

Li Jiawei took out her cell phone and shot a video of the two crying people. She planned to send it to them tomorrow. Imagining their embarrassment when they saw the video, she couldn't help but laugh.

Because the drinking lasted too long, in the end, Li Jianguo and Li Ronghua's drunkenness had gradually dissipated and they had become more sober, but they were still using the alcohol to close the distance between each other. Li Jiawei could clearly feel that her father Li Jianguo was intentionally flattering Li Ronghua, which was the inevitable result of the mismatch of financial resources.

Li Jiawei knew too well what an upright person Li Jianguo was, a man who would never bow to others in his life, but at this time he bowed to Li Ronghua. Li Jiawei looked at Li Jianguo's gray hair under the light, her heart was extremely sad, and she shed tears unconsciously, and then wiped them away secretly.

Seeing that it was too late and Li Yan was already drunk and asleep on the bed, Li Chengwei went to the hotel front desk and booked three extra rooms.

Li Jiawei and Cheng Ping lived in the same room. Before going to bed, Cheng Ping said seriously, "Call Zhang Yi out tomorrow. I have to ask him if he has any heart. He can't just let it go after bullying my daughter."

Li Jiawei pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

She couldn't help but wonder why she had always lacked a sense of belonging to the Li family. It wasn't because the Li family treated her badly, but because that sense of belonging was mixed with a sense of distance.

In the Li family, she was respected, but this respect seemed to come with a certain distance. Unlike Li Xuanbao, she did not receive an elite education since childhood, so she felt somewhat alienated from some of the traditions and values ​​of the Li family.

Take the divorce for example. If she didn't mention it, the Li family wouldn't ask. But for a straightforward person like Cheng Ping, she values ​​practical actions more. She doesn't care about so-called privacy and respect. She believes that when her daughter is bullied, her family should stand up to protect her rights.

If the wife's family doesn't beat Zhang Yi to vent their anger for cheating on her husband, then that's cowardly! As the daughter raised by Cheng Ping, Li Jiawei likes Cheng Ping's personality more.

In Cheng Ping's view, Li Jiawei's silence on Zhang Yi's cheating was a sign of weakness, which undoubtedly encouraged Zhang Yi's arrogance and made him mistakenly believe that the Li family was easy to bully.

"Cheating? I'll beat him to a pulp tomorrow." Cheng Ping said angrily.

Li Jiawei smiled and leaned into Cheng Ping's arms, half-jokingly saying, "You are so old now, what if he fights back?"

"He dares!" Cheng Ping's voice immediately rose a few degrees. "Let your brother go with you tomorrow. Your brother is strong and can beat Zhang Yi like a chicken."

Li Jiawei said with some concern, "My brother is a soldier. What if Zhang Yi gets desperate and complains to my brother?"

Cheng Ping thought about it and said firmly, "Then bring your dad along."

Li Jiawei chuckled and said, "My dad has a bad knee and had surgery last year. You are so kind."

Cheng Ping turned over, pulled his arm free, and said impatiently, "Never mind, I'll go find Zhang Yi tomorrow. If he dares to do anything, I'll lie on the ground."

Li Jiawei picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number. It rang for a long time before the call was connected. Zhang Yi's voice was full of impatience, "Li Jiawei, why are you calling me?"

Li Jiawei took a deep breath and said calmly, "My mother is here and she wants to see you."

"I'm busy!" Zhang Yi refused directly.

Li Jiawei took a deep breath and said firmly, "Do you want to come out and meet me, or do you want my mother to go to your workplace to find you? You decide for yourself."

"Where shall we meet? What time?" Zhang Yi asked after a moment of silence.

Li Jiawei told him the time and address, then hung up the phone. She decided to go after breakfast in the morning, because she would have the energy to deal with this scumbag only after a full meal.

After Zhang Yi hung up the phone, he lay on the bed in a daze. Huang Keren sat up from the bed, rubbed her eyes and complained, "Who's calling? It disturbed my sleep so late at night."

Zhang Yi put the phone on the bedside table and hugged Huang Keren. "It's Li Jiawei's call. Her mother is here and wants to see me."

Huang Keren sat up suddenly and said angrily, "Is she done yet? Zhang Yi, I'm telling you, don't go!"

Zhang Yi sat up, hugged Huang Keren and comforted her, "Be good, don't be angry. Li Jiawei may not have told her mother about the divorce some time ago. It's better to go and meet her and explain everything all at once."

Huang Keren suggested, "Then I'll go with you."

Zhang Yi thought of Cheng Ping's character, shook his head and said, "Her mother is just an old country woman, unreasonable and a shrew. Aren't you afraid that they will throw dirty water on you?"

Huang Keren thought of the cup of milk tea that Li Jiawei had spilled last time, and felt sick, but she still insisted on going with Zhang Yi. She was the third party, and she and Zhang Yi had not yet obtained a marriage certificate. What if Li Jiawei and her mother cried and made a scene? Li Jiawei and Zhang Yi had been married for so many years, so they would inevitably have feelings for each other. What if they cried and softened Zhang Yi's heart? Then all her efforts during this period would be in vain.
