Chapter 412: Chapter 413: Good Wife
Leng Peini was seething with rage at Gu Chi’s loud guffaws, so much so that she almost vomited blood.
She clutched her injured wrist, struggling to rise from the floor. Her gaze traveled and settled on Ye Xingli. “Ah Li!”
Ye Xingli’s face was ashen. He strode towards Leng Peini, seized her by the collar, and yanked her up from the ground, his teeth gritted. “Leng, Pei, ni!”
Considering the old bond between them, he had overlooked her replacing Ye Xingbei’s chocolates. But rather than showing gratitude, she had tried to splatter sulphuric acid on him!
Just now, when he saw Ye Xingbei push him aside and the liquid in the bottle splashed towards Ye Xingbei, his heart had stopped for a moment.
Although it was a close shave, Leng Peini’s sinister intentions were unforgivable!
“Ah Li!” Leng Peini looked at him with foolish adoration, tears streaming down her face. “Ah Li, I didn’t mean to harm you, I just wanted to ruin your face so I could stay with you. I wanted to prove to you that even if the whole world thinks you’re ugly, I wouldn’t mind. No matter what you become, I will stand by your side, for better or worse!”
“What the fuck are you babbling about?” Ye Xingli was so furious that he threw her back onto the ground.
What kind of sick logic was this?
If Leng Peini ruined his face with sulphuric acid, did she really expect him to dismember her and stay by her side?
What a load of bullshit!
Dammit.
He must have been an utter fool to consider marrying a woman like this.
This was what they call ‘ditzy but busty’. He had finally seen it in person!
Leng Peini had the biggest breasts he had ever seen, and now she was also the dumbest woman he had ever known.
This was infuriating!
“Ah Li…” Leng Peini lunged and grabbed onto his trousers. She looked up at him, her eyes full of adoration. “Ah Li, I love you! I would still love you no matter what you become! Ah Li, please, don’t leave me, I can’t lose you…”
Ye Xingli felt like he was about to have an aneurysm from the anger. He shouted, “ZhenQi!”
“Yes, young master!” Zhen Qi promptly walked up to him.
“Take her to the police station, hire the best lawyer, I want her to… want her to…” Initially, he wanted to threaten her with lifelong imprisonment.
But thinking of their once sweet past, he softened.
His voice fell a few decibels, waved his hand and sighed, “Judge according to law, however it should be judged.”
“Yes, young master!” Complying with the order, Zhen Qi grabbed Leng Peini from the ground and dragged her towards the parked car.
Leng Peini was shrieking crazily, “Ah Li, don’t treat me this way! Have you forgotten how happy we were together? Have you forgotten that you used to tell me you love me? Ah Li, Ah Li…”
Zhen Qi had had enough, and with a sharp chop of his hand, he struck her on the nape of her neck.
Leng Peini went limp and passed out.
The world was finally quiet.
The driver pulled up the car, Zhen Qi stuffed Leng Peini into it, and then they took off.
Only when the car disappeared into the flow of traffic did Ye Xingli avert his gaze. He strode over to Ye Xingbei, his face dark with anger, he sharply rebuked, “Are you out of your mind? When there’s danger, you should get away. What’s there to show off? Your face is your best feature. If the acid in her hand had hit your face, could you live?”
Ye Xingbei understood that he was scared of her being disfigured and didn’t mind being yelled at.
However, the Fifth Lord of Gu wasn’t pleased. He glanced at him and said nonchalantly, “Yes, I remember a song that goes, ‘Silly girl, the tears on your face are the water in your brother’s brain…'”
“Ah,” The fifth Lord of Gu sighed and shook his head, gently rubbing Ye Xingbei’s head. “My dear, cry a few more times in the future to drain some water from your brother’s brain.”
