Chapter 782 - 775: The Trigger (Part 4)
Old Qi, seething with anger, grabbed Leng Liewei. Just as his fist was about to land on Leng Liewei’s face, Qi Hui hurriedly interjected, "Dad, don’t hit Old Leng, don’t hit him!"
Old Qi looked at his anxious daughter and reluctantly let go of Leng Liewei. "He’s treated you like this, why are you still defending him?"
Qi Hui lowered her eyes, her face filled with sorrow. "There’s nothing I can do. In this lifetime, he’s the only man for me. Now, I even have a child with him, what can I do?"
Qi Hui appeared pitiful, and coupled with her earlier defense of him, Leng Liewei felt a stir of emotion in his heart.
Old Qi sighed. He wondered if he had committed some sins in a past life, and now all the retribution was falling upon his daughter. Why was she so devotedly attached to an old man like Leng Liewei, who could be her father?
At this moment, Old Qi only felt his daughter’s grievance, forgetting that what Qi Hui was enduring was a consequence of her own past actions. Of course, people are forgetful, only remembering what they wish to, believing in the truth in their hearts, while often neglecting the real nature of things.
"I don’t care!" Old Qi wiped his face. "Leng Liewei, you must explain to my daughter now. Divorce that woman immediately and marry my daughter, Qi Hui! Otherwise, I’ll expose this affair and charge you with bigamy! Worst comes to worst, we’ll make a clean break. Anyway, Qi Hui and I are nobodies; we have nothing to be afraid of. You’re different; you’re the head of the Leng Family. If you face disgrace, it means your son Leng Yichen is disgraced, which also means Huamei International is disgraced!"
Old Qi rambled on, making Leng Liewei’s heart pound with anxiety. How did the situation become this chaotic?
Faced with the forced marriage proposal from Old Qi, once a dear friend, Leng Liewei found himself speechless. Did he really have to divorce Luna?
Leng Liewei’s eyes flickered as he struggled internally. On one side was his lawful wife, with whom he still had feelings; on the other side was the woman carrying his child. Now, with Old Qi’s pressure mounting, Leng Liewei only felt he was the most pitiful one, with everyone else pushing him...
Qi Hui noticed Leng Liewei’s indecision and felt a chill in her heart. She knew all along that Leng Liewei never planned to divorce Luna and marry her; from the start, she was merely a decoration, and even being pregnant now didn’t change that.
She bit her lip, putting on an understanding facade. "Dad, don’t force Old Leng anymore; he’s in a tough spot too."
Old Qi glared at his daughter, disappointed. "Xiao Hui, why are you so foolish? If you don’t fight now, what will you do later? Even if not for yourself, think about the child in your belly! If you give birth, people will gossip. Otherwise, get rid of the child and come home with me!"
As soon as Old Qi mentioned getting rid of the child, Leng Liewei became anxious. "There are surely other solutions. Why must we get rid of the child?"
Old Qi glared at Leng Liewei and snorted, "What other solutions? Tell me!"
Leng Liewei looked at Qi Hui and Old Qi, clenched his teeth, and spoke, "I have twenty-five percent of Huamei International’s shares. I’ll allocate fifteen percent to Qi Hui, making her a shareholder of Huamei International. This way, she will have Huamei International as a backing. It will be more convenient for her in whatever she does or says, and even if the child is born, no one will dare say anything."
