Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Sorry, I Don’t Want to Get a Divorce
Chi Enen was very patient, or she wouldn’t have been able to get along with the two live grenades at home, one big and one small.
Old Master Li didn’t pay her any attention, and she didn’t speak to disturb him either, silently standing there watching him make tea.
He skillfully rinsed the teapot, spout, lid, and teacups with hot water, then drained the teapot and teacups. Next, he used a teaspoon to add the tea leaves and poured water to brew it, moving fluidly as if performing a dance, and poured out two cups of tea afterward.
Only then did he set the teapot down, take the handkerchief passed to him by the servant, dried his hands, and sat down. He tasted the tea and then looked at Chi Enen.
Chi Enen hesitated before sitting down opposite him.
Old Master Li slid the freshly brewed cup of tea in front of her and spoke indifferently, “Try it and see how it tastes?”
Chi Enen took it and had a sip. She didn’t understand the art of tea and felt that this cup was too strong for her liking.
Old Master Li lifted his teacup, took a small sip, and continued indifferently, “Miss Chi, I had investigated you before coming here. You are the Chi family’s illegitimate daughter, with an aunt who covets wealth as if it were life itself, a father concerned only with benefits and devoid of humanity, and a scheming mother in name only. Your younger sister and your high school boyfriend are fiancés, and your sister hates you to the bone and is recklessly impulsive. To put it plainly, Miss Chi, your family is a mess.”
“And then there’s you. You dropped out of university just after getting in, and went overseas to have a child. Your education stopped at high school. And I’ve come to understand your character as well. You are a kind and empathetic young woman…” He paused, his gaze sharp, “but you are not suitable for Beijue.”
Chi Enen had felt from the moment she entered that the old man in front of her didn’t like her.
So, when Old Master Li candidly expressed his thoughts, she wasn’t surprised.
“Jason, bring it here.”
A password box was placed in front of Chi Enen, and the Old Butler opened it before her eyes, revealing neat stacks of money inside.
“Five years ago, you took 5 million from Beijue’s birth mother and left him. Miss Chi, this is ten million, leave Beijue.”
It was a blatant show of contempt!
Contempt so undisguised!
Chi Enen bit her lower lip firmly, mustering the courage to meet those sharp eyes, “I’m not with him for the money, I like Li Beijue. I know I still have many shortcomings, and I will try to change in the future. As far as education goes, I’m already preparing for the qualifying exams…”
Old Master Li seemed completely unfazed, his gaze scanning through her like an X-ray, suddenly asking, “Are the clothes you’re wearing bought by Beijue for you?”
At that question, Chi Enen suddenly felt as though she’d been slapped across the face.
She wanted to explain but didn’t know where to start.
The clothes she was wearing were indeed bought by Li Beijue, and she had chosen them herself yesterday.
Her silence was as good as a confirmation.
Old Master Li didn’t raise an eyebrow and gave another instruction, “Jason.”
Another box was placed in front of Chi Enen, and the Old Butler opened it once more; this time, it was filled with gold bars.
“50 million, I believe that should be enough.”
Chi Enen knew this was due to his prejudice against her poverty, and no matter what she said, Old Master Li wouldn’t listen. She also didn’t want to feel humiliated by the money any longer. She stood up, closed the lid of the safety deposit box, took a deep breath, and faced the dignified old man, “I’m sorry, but I am already married to Li Beijue, and I don’t wish to divorce.”
