Chapter 447: Move Out? Over Their Dead Bodies

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Xiao Juan,” she called out for the maid.

The tiny-framed maid wiped her hands and ran out. Good. The real mistress was here.

“Pack their things up and get them to move out as soon as possible.”

Xiao Juan was elated. She almost jumped with joy when she heard that. Great. This family was finally moving out. If they had stayed any longer, she would quit her job because they were simply being too difficult.

She went and packed their things up promptly.

“Song Wan, what is the meaning of this?” Mrs. Li stood up violently. She pointed her finger in Song Wan’s face and scolded, “Have the dogs eaten all your conscience in the Chu family? My Manni has been married into your family for four years. She has never done anything wrong to your family. Now, you are chasing us out of the house? Aren’t you also chasing your grandchild out, too?”

“Fine. Let’s go. Get the divorce right now.”

“Good. Let them divorce immediately.” The gloom finally showed on Song Wan’s face.

Mrs. Li was feeling smug when she mentioned the word ‘divorce’. She had no fear because she was certain that Song Wan wouldn’t desert her grandchild, and so she was constantly talking about it. At this juncture, Song Wan would smile and pacify her, but she would never respond in kind. Right now, she had actually said it.

Mrs. Li was shocked beyond words. Mr. Li, on the other hand, glared at her. Out of all things, why would she talk about the divorce? Great. He wanted to see how his wife was going to round this up.

“I…” Mrs. Li opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say next. She was full of arrogance mere seconds ago, and now, she was behaving like a deflated balloon. It was gone.

“Please move out of here quickly.” Song Wan didn’t bother to go on. “I will be back tonight, and I hope you will be gone by then. Or else, I will use force to chase you out. As for the divorce, I hope you will agree to it quickly, too.”

“It’s not like that, Mrs. Chu. It’s a misunderstanding.” Mr. Li intercepted quickly trying to put in a good word. His face was burning with embarrassment. This was the first time he was being humble. Everyone had treated him with respect especially after Chu Lui became his son-in-law. Who could be more impressive than him in his social circle? Yet now, he was pleading humbly to another like a dog.

“I’m not mistaken.” Song Wan cut him off. “Haven’t you been asking for a divorce? Fine. We’ll let them get a divorce. As for the baby…” Her line of vision stopped on Li Manni. “We don’t want someone else’s child. Our family may be rich. We can donate money, threw it away, squander it or even burn it, but we won’t raise another man’s child.”

Li Manni went pale as her body became overwhelmed with a chill. It went from her sole all the way to her head. She placed her hand on her stomach. Her fingers were gripping so tightly that her knuckles were turning white.

This child… she had never doubted that her baby wasn’t Chu Lui’s. Even if it really wasn’t, she would insist it was. She didn’t allow this incident to affect her status in the Chu family. All because of this baby, she had managed to stay in the Chu family. Otherwise, with Chu Lui’s temper, she would be long gone.

However, Song Wan was pointing at her stomach, claiming that her baby was not her grandchild. Song Wan was so certain of her accusation that she could disregard everyone’s feelings. How could the Chu family be so sure that she wasn’t carrying Chu Lui’s baby? They hadn’t checked, asked, or even heard her say anything. They hadn’t asked her for an explanation. How could they be so sure?

“Move out as soon as you can.” With that, Song Wan turned and left. She had no wish to see the Li family anymore. When she left, she was smiling. However, her eyes were tearing up.

It wouldn’t make a difference even if they moved out. She still wouldn’t have a grandchild.

The Li family naturally wouldn’t move out that easily. As Xiao Juan was packing their belongings, Mrs. Li went crazy and unpacked everything putting them back in the house. They couldn’t leave, not even when they die. If they left, they would have to sleep on the streets.

“Manni, tell me the truth.” Mrs. Li pulled Li Manni’s hand. It was the first time she was being so harsh on her daughter.

“Are you carrying Chu Lui’s child? Is Song Wan telling the truth?” Mrs. Li knew the Chus well. They wouldn’t say such nonsense if they didn’t have the proof. If that was the truth, the problem would lie on the identity of her maternal grandchild.

Li Manni’s mouth went agape. She shook her head. She had no clue. She really didn’t. It was possible that Chu Lui might be her baby’s father, but so would Mi Dongfeng. That man could be her baby’s father, too.

Mrs. Li sank her buttocks down onto the sofa. Her daughter’s expression told her everything she needed to know.

Suddenly, she got to her feet. A loud slap landed on Li Manni’s face. “Manni, how can you behave so immorally? Where are you going to find a man like Chu Lui? What were you thinking? How can you do something so shameless?”

Shameless? Li Manni laughed. Right. She was shameless. She might be shameless, but she didn’t cause all these. Why was everyone criticizing her and blaming her, but no one had blamed Chu Lui.

No wonder. Mrs. Li clenched her teeth. The Chus had been so determined for them to move out no matter what. They wouldn’t have anywhere to stay if they moved out because they were no longer who they used to be. Without Chu Lui behind them, how were they going to survive?

Mrs. Li wasn’t stupid. Song Wan might have chased them out, but that didn’t mean they have to go. Anyway, Manni’s stomach was not showing signs of her pregnancy, and she hadn’t given birth. No one could say for sure Chu Lui wasn’t the father. As long as they insisted the baby’s father was Chu Lui, the Chus wouldn’t be able to chase them away.

She thought of all the possibilities. The Chu family was a ripe and soft persimmon for her to pinch. However, they seemed to forget that the Chu family was never a soft persimmon. Neither were they a hard persimmon. At least, they could still bite into a hard one. The Chu family members were made of steel. One would lose one’s teeth if one tried to take a bite at them.

Mrs. Li was prepared to stay here shamelessly and not move. It was impossible for them to move out… even more so for them to agree to the divorce. Although she had been constantly bringing up the topic of divorce, she hadn’t meant for it to happen. It was all a show to force Song Wan. Now that Song Wan was the one to say it, Mrs. Li became upset.

“They haven’t moved out?” Chu Jiang’s voice was filled with certainty without a doubt.

He knew the Li family well. They wouldn’t relent if it wasn’t beneficial to them. Why would they leave otherwise? If they had, they wouldn’t be the Li family.
