Chapter 55: Delusions

Xiao Miaomiao still had a bright smile on her face, as if she was sincerely thinking for others.

Zhang Jie looked at Liu Kai with a fierce look in his eyes. What the hell, he dared to have delusions about his sister-in-law.

Forget it, at most, he would consider Liu grandpa and spare his life.

After hearing her words, Mr. Liu fell into deep thought. When he turned his gaze to Liu Kai, his eyes were filled with deep worry.

Indeed, Liu Kai’s actions were unbearable, making Mr. Liu worry about whether the Liu family would face the fate of having no descendants.

After all, Liu Kai’s behavior was truly intolerable.

If someone did this to his granddaughter, he would directly cripple them.

As for Liu Kai being able to escape so many times, it was simply because the family of the woman he married was lower than the Liu family, so they couldn’t fight back and dared not confront the Liu family.

Seeing this, Xiao Miaomiao nodded slightly to Mr. Liu, indicating that she had completed her task, then turned and left. Liu Kai watched her receding figure, a surge of strong dissatisfaction and confusion rising in his heart.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa, who is that woman’s family? She seems quite arrogant!”

Mr. Liu looked at him and scoffed, “Miaomiao hasn’t forgiven you. You better be careful these days. She’s Jingcheng’s wife, the wife that your grandpa and grandma found for him. They got their marriage license, it’s legally protected. Zhang Yi and the others all acknowledge her as their sister-in-law. And she’s the granddaughter of Jiang Lao, who is highly regarded by the Jiang family.”

Liu Kai’s eyes widened in shock, he asked tremblingly, “Which Jiang family?”

Seeing his reaction, Mr. Liu knew he was truly scared, but he still answered, “You mean the famous Jiang family, the one associated with Yun family.”

After saying that, Mr. Liu didn’t look at him again and left directly. Leaving Liu Kai alone there, his face full of terror as he pondered what to do.

Liu Kai knew in his heart that if what his grandpa said was true, then he had really gotten himself into big trouble.

The Jiang family was one of the most powerful families in Yuncheng, second only to the Li family. Offending them would have unimaginable consequences. Moreover, Xiao Miaomiao was actually the granddaughter of the Jiang family, which made him even more terrified.

Thinking about it, Liu Kai couldn’t help but regret his actions. How could he have been so impulsive? Now, not only had he angered Xiao Miaomiao, but he might also bring even bigger trouble upon himself.

Liu Kai regretted it so much that his guts were turning green. He realized that he had messed with someone he shouldn’t have.

Not to mention the Jiang family, just the title of Li Jingcheng’s wife was enough to make him tremble.

Although Li Jingcheng was currently in a coma, the Li Group still had Li’s father in charge, and its brilliant achievements still existed. Moreover, Li Jingcheng also had some close friends. Now he was finished!

Zhang Shuya was born into a rural family and had achieved her current status through her own efforts.

The only wealthy families she had come into contact with were the Liu family. She didn’t know much about other families.

She only knew a few friends of Liu Kai’s, and she didn’t know their family backgrounds. Liu Kai had never revealed this information to her.

Moreover, Liu Kai’s mother, Madam Liu, seemed to have foreseen that the relationship between Zhang Shuya and Liu Kai wouldn’t last long, so she looked down on this daughter-in-law from a humble family and wouldn’t bring her into the circle of wealthy women.

However, she had heard of the power of the Li family and the Jiang family. If it was really those two families, then she wouldn’t even feel a hint of jealousy towards Xiao Miaomiao.

Because the two of them were simply incomparable. Xiao Miaomiao was born into wealth and privilege, a place she could never reach in her lifetime. Seeing Liu Kai’s scared look, she couldn’t help but laugh. So he had his fears too. Zhang Shuya thought about what Xiao Miaomiao had said. She had to admit that Xiao Miaomiao was right. It was pointless for her to cling on now. No one in the Liu family was on her side. If she continued to pester them, it would only make them disgusted.

Madam Liu came out and heard what Mr. Liu said, she was also worried. Liu Kai was her only son. If the Jiang family and the Li family came to settle the score, even if Liu Kai was Mr. Liu’s grandson, he would still be skinned alive. Thinking about this, Madam Liu looked at Zhang Shuya with even more displeasure. “I told you you would regret it. You and my little Kai are not from the same world. He can divorce you in a minute. Now you’ve even made him offend the Li family’s wife. You’re really a troublemaker.”

“Mom, don’t be angry. It’s not Shuya’s fault, it’s also my fault.” Liu Kai quickly explained.

He wasn’t that heartless to blame everything on Zhang Shuya.

“What do you mean it’s not her fault? If she had just agreed to a divorce and didn’t cry and whine, would the Li family’s wife have come to watch the show? Would you have offended the Li family’s wife?” Madam Liu was even angrier.

“Alright, stop arguing!” Mr. Liu interrupted them impatiently.

“In the end, it’s all because of Liu Kai’s fickleness.” Mr. Liu looked at Liu Kai with disappointment and scolded him.

“Dad, you have to help Xiao Kai!” Madam Liu cried, grabbing Mr. Liu’s hand. “He’s your only grandson!”

“If he wasn’t my grandson, Zhang Jie wouldn’t have left just now. I wouldn’t believe it if he didn’t break his arms and legs.” Mr. Liu said angrily, then turned to Liu Kai and said, “Come with me to the study, I have something to tell you.”

Liu Kai nodded and followed Mr. Liu into the study.

Madam Liu looked at Zhang Shuya standing in the yard and kept scolding her.

“Look at you, you’re the one who caused all this trouble!” Madam Liu glared at Zhang Shuya. “You really think that marrying my Liu Kai will make you a phoenix? He’s just playing with you. I told you before that your marriage wouldn’t last. You should have known when to stop.”

“And you’re useless too. You can’t even hold onto your own man’s heart. You’re only four months in and you’re already talking about divorce. You could have at least lasted a year.” Madam Liu mocked her.

Zhang Shuya lowered her head, feeling very wronged. She knew she wasn’t welcome in the Liu family, but she didn’t expect Madam Liu to blame her like this.

“Humph, what’s the use of acting pitiful now.” Madam Liu sneered. “I think you should just leave our house, lest you bring more disaster upon us.”

“Mom, I…” Zhang Shuya wanted to argue, but she didn’t know what to say.

“Enough, stop it!” Madam Liu interrupted her. “I’ll just have Liu Kai give you some money. Go get a divorce tomorrow, otherwise, you can just wait to be kicked out of the house.”

After saying that, Madam Liu turned and left, leaving Zhang Shuya standing there alone.

Zhang Shuya felt a wave of despair. She felt like she had no place in this family anymore. Maybe leaving here was the best choice.
