"Sister Shiping, I’m now a little rich woman, I have quite a bit of money coming in every month," Shen Mianmian squinted her eyes, flaunting her wealth.
Li Shiping knew that Shen Mianmian was not the type to show off her wealth, so such words were only meant to tell her not to rush to repay her, which moved Li Shiping deeply.
If Wan Dongcheng had been as good to her as Mianmian, they wouldn’t have come to this point.
On the other hand, thinking that Li Shiping had gone back to her parents’ home, as soon as Wan Dongcheng finished class, he bought some gifts and went to the Li Family, hoping to bring Li Shiping back, while also gauging the Li Family’s attitude to see whether Li Shiping had told on him. But no sooner had he arrived at the Li Family’s home and uttered the pleasantries than Li Yue, fuming with anger, came back, saw Wan Dongcheng at his house, and furiously grabbed Wan Dongcheng by the collar, ready to beat him.
Xiu Min quickly held him back, "Xiaoyue, let’s talk this out calmly, what are you doing getting physical?"
"Mom, you have no idea what that bastard Wan Dongcheng has done behind our backs." Li Yue released Wan Dongcheng and pointed at him, "Wan Dongcheng, you tell us, what kind of messed up things have you been doing behind our backs?"
Thinking that Li Yue knew about the incident of hitting Li Shiping, Wan Dongcheng felt a surge of panic and instinctively looked towards Li Julin, seeing his unfriendly expression, Wan Dongcheng panicked even more. He knew that only Li Shiping could protect him. Even if Li Shiping didn’t protect him, she wouldn’t let them lay a hand on him in front of the children, so he said, "Mom, please call Shiping and the child down first, I’ll explain this matter slowly in front of her."
Upon hearing this, Xiu Min couldn’t help but feel anxious, "Dongcheng, isn’t Shiping at home? Did you two have a fight?"
So it turned out that Wan Dongcheng came over in the middle of the night to look for his daughter. Where could his daughter be with the child at this late hour?
"Great, Wan Dongcheng, you’ve even made my sister disappear."
Li Yue’s face turned scarlet with rage, and he was about to hit him again but was stopped by Xiu Min.
"Xiaoyue, don’t be impulsive, let him explain what exactly happened."
"Mom, you don’t know what he’s been doing behind our backs, hitting him would be letting him off easy," Li Yue took out a gold bracelet from his pocket and glared at Wan Dongcheng, "He actually persuaded my sister to sell this bracelet. If I hadn’t gone to the jewelry store today and come across it, who knows how long I would have been kept in the dark."
He Nan asked him to help buy a uniquely styled gold bracelet at the jewelry store, he looked around and didn’t like any until the clerk brought out one that was just bought back. When he looked at it, it was just like the one custom-made for Li Shiping’s wedding. On closer inspection, her name was indeed engraved on it.
He knew his sister’s character the best, without Wan Dongcheng’s persuasion, she would never have sold the gold bracelet.
She had sold the things brought from her parental home, showing just how hard Li Shiping’s life was now. He now wished he could beat Wan Dongcheng to death.
Xiu Min took the bracelet and her expression changed, "Dongcheng, what’s going on here? If you and your wife really needed money, you could have told us! Why sell the gold bracelet?"
Li Julin’s expression was also unsightly to the extreme. He had never liked this son-in-law, and indeed, he was no good.
It turned out they didn’t know about Li Shiping being hit. Wan Dongcheng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put on a wronged expression.
"Mom, this is a misunderstanding. I didn’t know Shiping sold the gold bracelet. If I knew, I would have never let her sell it. I went back to my hometown for my cousin’s wedding, and she must have sold it while I was away."
