Qie Wenyangâs words were like a thunderbolt on the ground. They made Li Qingcangâs head go numb.
âAre you serious?â
Qie Wenyang nodded and said, âI was going to do an examination for Tianxin when I saw uncle Li entering the ward as soon as I got out of the elevator. I overheard him...â
Qie Wenyang touched his nose when he said so.
He looked slightly ashamed; there was no reason for him to be eavesdropping.
Li Qingcang replied, âI see.â
Li Qingcang always trusted Qie Wenyang to do his job.
âYou stay here with Tianxin. I need to go out.â
Li Qingcang drove back to Liâs house. Since Wu Tong and Li Xing divorced, Wu Tong moved out of Liâs house.
The Li family now only had servants besides Li Xing.
Li Qingcang parked the car and went straight to the study. Sure enough, Li Xing was there.
âLi Qingcang, donât you know to knock before entering the room?â
Li Qingcang walked in front of Li Xing. He propped on the desk with one of his hands and stared at his father with anger in his eyes.
âDad, donât go to see Tianxin alone in the future. Unlike you, Iâm capable of protecting the woman I love!â
Hearing him, Li Xingâs face suddenly sank as he said, âNonsense. How can you talk to your father like this?â
âLi Xing, Iâm in charge of my marriage, and I choose to protect my wife. I donât expect you to give us your blessing, but just leave us alone.â
Li Xing fiercely slammed his hand on the table. He glared at Li Qingcang in anger and said, âQingcang, Iâm doing this for your own good. If she canât help you in your career, she shouldnât be standing in your way.â
âLi Xing, Iâm not selfish like you. I care about more than my career. Place your hand over your chest and ask yourself what youâve done for our family all these years.â
Li Qingcang was heartbroken whenever he thought of the grievances Wu Tong had suffered in her marriage over the years.
He didnât understand how Li Xing could face his aggrieved wife so frankly. Why did he take Wu Tongâs tolerance and concession for granted every time?
âEvery time when Grandma criticized your marriage, you always pretended not to know what she was talking about.â
Li Xing shook with anger as he said, âShe was your grandmother and my mother.â
Li Qingcang knew that Li Xing had not reflected on his own mistakes after his divorce. He added, âAre the parents always right? No. you are cold and selfish by nature. You took my motherâs devotion for granted. Where were you when my sister, who is also your daughter, was being abused just for being a girl? Where were you when your wife was being given the cold shoulder. If all you care about is advancing your career, then you shouldâve never gotten married.â
Li Qingcangâs words pierced Li Xingâs heart like a knife.
Li Xing clutched his chest. He was so angry that he didnât know what else to say.
âWhat do you know? You... know nothing.â
Li Qingcang was not so soft-hearted. He had to let Li Xing know that he couldnât go to Tianxin again and say such irrelevant things. Even if Tianxin wouldnât agree to his arrangement and quietly left, he couldnât allow Tianxin to suffer even a little bit.
âDad, I donât care that you think youâre doing this for my own good, I just know that I canât let the people I love be wronged.â
