Chapter 1225: Grandpa Li Wants a Divorce (1)
Although both Li Qingcang and Li Xingchen were Li Hang’s children, they acted more like Wu Tong.
Grandma Li turned to look at Wu Tong, who was sitting beside Li Hang. Although she had not said a single word, she looked glum.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you hate me? What did I do? Qingcang is perfectly fine, isn’t he?”
Wu Tong snorted softly. She had put up with Grandma Li’s nonsense all these years just because she was Li Hang’s mother.
She had tolerated her enough to conspire with an outsider to drug Li Qingcang.
Moreover, she did this to him during Li Qingcang’s own engagement banquet.
How did she treat either Wu Tong or Li Hang?
She had never considered their feelings.
“Mom, I’ve decided to divorce Li Hang. I’ll bring the children with me.”
Wu Tong finally spoke up. She was calm and composed.
She seemed to be talking about something totally unrelated to her.
“I still have the original copy of the separation letter. Li Hang knows where it is. You know very well what I’ve been doing as a member of the Li family. I’m not an evil girl who mistreats her mother-in-law. Even though you always pick on me and scold me, I have tolerated it. I put up with everything you said or did for the sake of Li Hang and the children, but I can’t take it anymore. I’ve decided to divorce Li Hang. Previously, you despised Xingchen because she is a girl. You mistreated her when she was a baby. I stepped down from my position as chief enginner to marry Li Hang. It was a career I’ve spent 20 over years working hard for, yet I gave it all up for the Li family. All these years, I’ve watched my ex-colleagues excel in their careers, something which I could have achieved had I not married Li Hang. I am envious of them, but I also know that I have chosen this path myself and should live with the consequences. However, what happened today made me realize that I want a divorce. You colluded with an outsider to trick my son. Who knows if you will conspire with others to kill our whole family one day? I don’t want to live fearing that possibility. Lastly, it is up to Qingcang who he wants to marry. Li Hang and I can only give advice as his parents. The one he is going to spend the rest of his life with is not us but this person. As long as he loves her and is willing to marry her, that’s good enough for us. It’s his choice.”
Wu Tong stood up as she finished speaking.
She had enough.
Li Hang looked at Wu Tong and pleaded, “Wu Tong, let’s talk about our marriage later.”
“Li Hang, there is nothing more to say between us.”
Wu Tong thought that her biggest regret was marrying Li Hang, despite telling herself many times that it was the best thing to ever happen to her. She had Li Hang and the two children.
In the end, none of that mattered.
As long as Grandma Li was around, Wu Tong’s life would never be peaceful.
Now she was still able to make a choice. She could choose to leave her marriage so Grandma Li would be out of her life.
Just as Wu Tong turned to leave, Grandpa Li appeared.
Old Grandma Xie had given him a call and he had rushed over.
There was tension in the room as soon as he appeared. EVeryone was shocked to see him.
Grandma Li was at a loss.
She quivered. “You’re here.”
