I nodded, "Yeah, I know."
"I know you don't have much, and I believe you."
"But what does that have to do with me?"
Li Chengji was taken aback, "Aren't you angry?"
I smiled, "Why would I be angry?"
"What you do with others is your business; you need to handle it yourself."
"After all, you are technically my ex-boyfriend now."
"When you see me in the future, remember to call me 'Mom'."
I took out the marriage certificate from my bag and placed it on the table.
Li Chengji's expression instantly turned sour.
"Dong Ling, even if you want to annoy me, you shouldn't use such childish tactics."
"Do you think calling parents is effective?"
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Do you think I'm calling parents?"
"Otherwise?"
Li Chengji smirked disdainfully, "I know you've always liked me, so seeing me with Wang Qiling makes you angry; you want to get back at me."
"But you wouldn't resort to such childish methods to annoy me, would you?"
"Your IQ seems only capable of coming up with such methods."
Does this guy have some kind of bias against intelligence?
No wonder the previous Dong Ling was so clueless; it turns out she thought only she was smart.
Everyone else was just foolish.
I sighed, not wanting to waste more words with Li Chengji.
Before I entered the story, Dong Ling had indeed done a lot of foolish things.
She wasn't very smart but had a bad temper; relying on her wealth, she made things difficult for the female lead, Wang Qiling.
But in fact, she didn't gain any benefits herself. All her actions were merely stepping stones for Li Chengji and Wang Qiling. To support them, they had to create all sorts of trouble. After I entered the story, my first thought was, why should I be a stepping stone for two cheating male leads and a scheming female lead? I have money, time, and enough intelligence; I can live a good life on my own.
So I directly bypassed the male lead and approached his father. It turned out my idea was correct. I took out my phone and called Li Xingyu. The first call went unanswered. Li Chengji looked at me and smiled, "My dad is a busy man; he doesn't have time to answer your call." I nodded and noted that this missed call was on Li Xingyu.
Then, I called again. The phone rang several times but no one picked up. I smiled and said, "If you don't answer soon, I'll go to the newspapers and say you abandoned me." As soon as I finished speaking, the call connected. Li Xingyu's deep voice came through the phone: "What are you saying?"
I deliberately tightened my voice and complained in a delicate tone, "Honey, your son brought his fiancée home to bully me; you need to help me!" Li Chengji suddenly stood up, his eyes wide in shock: "Who are you calling honey?"
I ignored him and pressed the speakerphone button. Li Xingyu's voice came through: "Chengji?" His tone was confused, clearly not taking this matter seriously. I pouted and said, "He's with his fiancée, that Wang Qiling."
Li Xingyu replied lightly, "I'll handle it."
"No need; I'll take care of it myself. You just need to cooperate with me."
Li Xingyu readily agreed. He also suggested hosting a family dinner at home in the evening, inviting me and Li Chengji to attend. This way, I could get to know the Li Family better. I accepted his proposal and hung up the phone.
I looked at Li Chengji and said, "If you respectfully call me 'Mom' right now, I will help you plead your case at the family dinner tonight. How about that?"
Li Chengji shot me a glare and replied, "In your dreams!"
Fuming, he grabbed Wang Qiling's wrist and walked away. Watching their retreating figures, I couldn't help but frown.
