The old lady was sitting opposite, and no one knew what she was thinking. She just said, "Madam Xia, since I asked you to come here, I will get straight to the point - just tell me a number!"
Li Ling came back to her senses, as if she didn't understand what the old lady said, and asked: "What?"
The old lady reached back and Aunt Lin handed over a stack of checks. She pushed it over and in front of Li Lingyi. "Fill in the amount yourself! How much money is enough to keep your daughter away from our Ye Qing."
Li Ling looked at the old lady and then at the checks, and immediately understood.
Obviously, the old lady had misunderstood! She really thought she was Xia Xingchen's mother!
"Then... if I really want my daughter to stop pestering your son, I can fill in the amount as I like?"
Sure enough, this person did not disappoint. The old lady was not surprised at all that she would accept such a proposal. Her impression of the woman in front of her was greatly reduced, and her daughter's impression of her naturally became worse and worse.
"I heard that your daughter was married before, right?"
Li Ling was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Yes, my daughter was indeed married. You know, she is very beautiful, and even the President likes her, which shows how likable she is. Therefore, there are naturally many men pursuing her. The boy she married is certainly not as good as the President, so when she wanted to cancel the engagement, I let her do it. Anyway, she has never lacked boyfriends since she was a child. Even though she has given birth to a child, there are still many men around her."
The old lady became even angrier when she heard this. She felt a fire in her chest, which made her chest and head hurt. She didn't want to listen any more, so she just waved to Aunt Lin behind her. Aunt Lin quickly put the pen on the check. "Mrs. Xia, fill it out!"
Li Lingyi never thought that such a good thing would happen to her. It would be fine if she ruined Xia Xingchen's relationship with the president, but now she got a lot of money for free. She was very excited when she thought about it, and her hand shaking as she held Bi's was a little trembling.
"But is it really up to me to fill it in?"
She asked again uncertainly.
The old lady didn't even want to watch any longer, so she simply stood up and walked out, saying to Aunt Lin, "I'll leave this to you."
Out of sight, out of mind!
… … … … …
Another reception room.
Mrs. Bai picked up her phone and dialed a number. On the other end, Bai Suye's voice rang out, "Mom, are the test results out? Dean Chen hasn't called me yet."
"I usually trust your judgment, but this time... why are you so confused!"
Bai Suye was confused by the old lady's words. "What's wrong?"
"You told me that the girl Ye Qing likes is pretty good. Today I've seen her. Is she pretty good? I think you're just like Ye Qing, trying to fool me and your dad."
Bai Suye finally understood that her mother was referring to Xia Xingchen. She asked, "Have you seen her?"
"No matter if I have met him or not, I will never agree to this! When Ye Qing comes back, you have to talk to him properly, not only me, but also him, to prevent him from being bewitched!" The old lady said this, and there was a knock on the door. She hung up the phone without listening to her daughter. Anyway, the two siblings are on the same side. It's useless to say anything!
"Ma'am, she signed the check for 10 million." Aunt Lin came in and said.
The old lady snorted coldly, "She dared to speak up! However, as long as it is a clean break and I can have peace of mind, I don't care about it. 20 million is enough for me to buy a precious grandson, it's worth it no matter how you look at it!"
… … … …
Li Lingyi was in a very conflicted mood today. She was happy to have received a huge sum of money, but when she thought about what Xia Xingchen and Xia Guopeng had said, she felt uneasy.
She made an appointment with her sisters to go shopping in the afternoon. They went on a shopping spree and bought a whole cart of things before returning slowly.
When we got back, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
As soon as she entered, she felt the cold atmosphere in the whole house. Xia Guopeng sat on the sofa with a cold face, and Xia Xingkong stood opposite him, looking so nervous that he dared not breathe. Hearing the noise, he looked towards the door, saw his mother, and quickly winked.
Li Lingyi became even more nervous. She quietly handed the things in her hand to the servant, and walked in barefoot without even putting on slippers. She wanted to avoid him and go upstairs.
"stop!"
Xia Guopeng's cold shout suddenly sounded, like a bomb exploding in the hall, causing Li Lingyi and Xia Xingkong's hearts to jump.
Li Ling covered her chest and rubbed it. Then she held her breath and walked over.
"Guopeng, you must be tired after working all day. Let me rub your shoulders for you." Li Ling saw his frosty face and could only approach him with a timid smile. However, before her hand touched Xia Guopeng's shoulder, he grabbed it and threw it away.
Li Ling was thin and frail, and Xia Guopeng had no strength left in his hands, so she was pushed off the sofa.
Xia Xingkong was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help her, "Mom, are you okay?"
Turning around, I saw my father's expression was still cold, not to mention heartache, not even a hint of tenderness. Although I was scared, I couldn't help but say, "Dad, how could you be so rude to Mom? Are you..."
Having said that, I want to say something, but I don’t dare to say it.
Xia Guopeng asked coldly: "Is it something?"
"Is it like what mom said, that you really are having an affair? You cook for us all day and send our meals out, but mom and I haven't had much of it in all these years, but how come others can eat it every day?"
Xia Guopeng's eyebrows jumped, and he slapped the armrest of the sofa with his palm. The sound shook the ceiling in the hall. His contradiction was directed at Li Lingyi.
"You don't understand anything, but you ran to the hospital and made a scene! Not only that, you are now talking nonsense in front of our daughter! You are such a good wife and a good mother! And about Xingchen's matter..." When it came to this, Xia Guopeng felt even more heartbroken and couldn't continue.
It would be fine if she didn't mention these things. As soon as she mentioned them, Li Ling immediately thought of Shen Min. She felt very aggrieved and started to make a scene again, "My daughter is not talking nonsense! You cook for your ex-wife and take such great care to serve her. Isn't it because you want to reconcile with her and make peace?! Okay! You guys go and I'll move out with Xingkong. This house originally belonged to her. We, mother and daughter, have taken over the house! I'll move out tomorrow and give up this house. That's fine! But don't expect Xingkong to call you 'Dad' in the future!"
"Good! Very good! Your suggestion is exactly what I want!" Xia Guopeng threw a heavy document on the coffee table, "Sign these, I'll find someone to help you move them!"
Li Ling looked at the document one by one, and suddenly saw a few big words on it, and she felt dizzy and weak all over. The document was nothing else but... a divorce agreement!
