She wore a determined expression, as if she was ready to fight with all her might, and I felt a pang of bitterness swelling in my chest.
Li Xiang was about to retaliate when Li Tong held him back.
Leizi, not one to back down, raised his fist as a warning to them.
The commotion caught the attention of the restaurant manager, who hurried out, bowing repeatedly.
"Brothers, it's our restaurant's fault for not providing proper service. Please calm down; today’s meal is on the house."
He then turned to Li Xiang and me, saying, "We will cover the medical expenses for these two brothers. Next time you come, we’ll give you a fifty percent discount."
"This matter can't just end like this!" Leizi stood in front of me, fuming. "You bullied my brother; if I don’t break one of your legs today, don’t even think about leaving this place!"
Li Tong turned pale with fear.
Li Xiang took a step back, glancing around as if looking for an escape.
Leizi had trained since childhood and had spent a year learning at Shaolin Temple; he was also a black belt in Taekwondo. No one had ever beaten him in a fight.
He wasn’t going to let this go easily; he stepped forward and firmly grabbed Li Xiang by the shoulder from behind.
Li Xiang cowered and repeatedly clasped his fists in front of Leizi. "Brother, let’s talk this over calmly."
Though he looked fierce, he was nothing more than a paper tiger.
I pulled Leizi back. "Let’s just go; this is my personal matter, and I don’t want it aired out in public."
Leizi knew my character and shook his head in frustration. I held back not because I feared them.
Instead, if I were to retaliate, I would have to deliver the most lethal blow!
“Li Tong, what happened today has crossed my bottom line. If you continue like this, we will get a divorce.”
I had already made up my mind to divorce her, but for now, I needed to keep them steady.
Little did I know, all of this was just an appetizer that Li Tong had served me.
A watch worth 120,000 was enough to make me suspicious of Li Tong's relationship with her brother.
I began to secretly observe Li Tong's every move. Until I figured everything out, I couldn't act rashly.
I contacted my senior Wang Yi, who stayed at school after graduation, and asked him to gather information about Li Tong and Li Xiang.
During this time, I lost my motivation for work and became increasingly restless.
Li Tong was still the same; she disappeared during the day and returned home late at night.
My frustration grew, but I tried hard to remain rational.
Then one day after work, I unexpectedly found her at home.
“Hubby, you’re back!”
Today, Li Tong wore a black silk nightgown, her makeup exquisite and her tone particularly gentle.
I responded casually and sat on the sofa to drink tea.
She scooped a spoonful of soup from a bowl nearby and brought it to my lips: “This is chicken soup I simmered for four hours; you should try it.”
Her almond-shaped eyes were as gentle as water, and I thought she might have changed her mind.
I suppressed my disgust and took a sip, curious about what act she would put on next.
“Hubby, you know that after we got married, my parents have been living in the countryside. They are getting older and have no income.”
“Unlike your parents who have their own jobs, my parents do hard labor in the countryside. The 3,000 yuan you give them is simply not enough.”
I raised an eyebrow.
"Then tell me, how much are you thinking?"
"It has to be at least ten thousand."
Before I could swallow the soup in my mouth, her words caught me off guard.
"Do you think your husband is a money printer?" I forced myself to hide my displeasure.
Before we got married, Li Tong had already warned me that she wouldn't live with my parents.
Although I was reluctant, I went along with her decision.
I had also suggested several times that her parents come live with us, but she always refused, citing her desire for a world of just the two of us.
I felt guilty about it, so every month I sent them three thousand yuan for living expenses.
That three thousand was, at the time, all the hard-earned money I had left.
