Chapter 168 Mom, don’t you want me anymore?
"Dongfang Xiaoqing, I've told you so many times not to bother Sheng Tunan and his wife anymore. Why don't you listen?"
Li Xiang endured his anger all the way back to the house where Zhang Lihua lived before her death. He sent all the relatives away, put his son in the bedroom and closed the door before he vented all his anger.
He is also a man, a man who once loved Dongfang Xiaoqing deeply. Seeing his wife flirting with her former lover today, Li Xiangqiang was very angry and the idea of divorce came to his mind again.
"Wuwuwu," Dongfang Xiaoqing's eyes were red and swollen, and she choked with sobs and argued: "I just, I just want Xinyue to see her grandmother off for the last time!"
"You are simply hopeless! Did your mother ever treat Xinyue as her granddaughter? You know better than anyone how she treats Xinyue. How dare you make such a request?"
Li Xiangqiang looked at his wife. Over the past few months, everything Dongfang Xiaoqing had done, one by one, made Li Xiangqiang more and more disappointed.
"If it happens again, we will get divorced. The son will be mine. You are still young and it will be difficult for you to get married with a son." Li Xiangqiang said helplessly while sitting on the chair.
"Old Li, why is it so serious? Xinyue is my daughter who I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. She can recognize her father, so why can't she accept me as her biological mother?" Dongfang Xiaoqing felt quite aggrieved.
Li Xiangqiang shook his head, too lazy to argue with Dongfang Xiaoqing, and just said, "I'm tired too. I hardly slept in the past three days. I'm going to sleep now. Please stop arguing. I have to drive back to the military region early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, without waiting for Dongfang Xiaoqing's response, he walked straight into Li Yuchen's bedroom and fell asleep next to his son.
Dongfang Xiaoqing stood there in a daze, looking at her husband who no longer loved her. She remembered the news she saw a few days ago. Dongfang Xiaoqing suddenly stopped crying, rolled her eyes, went to the kitchen, cut a cucumber and started to apply a facial mask.
......
Zhan Xinyue was easily sleepy. As soon as she arrived at the courtyard, she had lunch, brushed her teeth, washed her face and hands and feet, and then fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Sheng Tunan was dragged by his father-in-law to play Go. The two were evenly matched and fought in the pavilion for an entire afternoon. In the end, Ouyang Jie narrowly won by half a piece.
"Hahahaha, Tuanan, I haven't met a strong opponent in chess for a long time." Ouyang Jie picked up the black piece and put it into the chess box with a smile.
"I have been learning Go since I was young. My grandfather said that we should think twice before doing anything, and playing Go is the best way to exercise our thinking. In these years in Hong Kong, I have often challenged masters, but no one has been able to beat me."
Sheng Tunan pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile: "Dad, you are so powerful. You almost killed me without leaving a single piece of armor!"
"Hey, Tunan, you're too modest." Ouyang Jie said, "You're also very good. If I hadn't tried my best, I might not have won."
"By the way, can you play Go in the army?"
Sheng Tunan nodded: "Some officers like to play chess, so I learned a little bit from them."
This is true, but just like this, it is impossible to tie with Ouyang Jie.
In his previous life, after Zhan Xinyue died, Sheng Tunan devoted himself to scientific research day and night in order to find a way to start over as soon as possible, and he almost went crazy.
Later, an old scientist enlightened him and told Sheng Tunan that haste makes waste and the more anxious you are, the worse things will be!
In order to stabilize his mind, Sheng Tunan started to study Go, which led to his current achievements.
The two had just put away the chess pieces when Zhan Xinyue woke up. Dinner was ready at that moment. After the three of them had eaten, there was nothing else to do. Ouyang Jie felt addicted to chess and pulled Sheng Tunan to play chess in the pavilion while enjoying the cool air.
Zhan Xinyue is not sleepy now and sits aside to watch the game.
The time playing chess passed quickly and before we knew it, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
"Knock, knock, knock," suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the silent night!
"It's already past nine o'clock, who else is coming?" The pavilion was quite far from the gate. Zhan Xinyue had good hearing, so she raised her hand to look at her watch.
Sheng Tunan, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, didn't hear the sound and asked in confusion, "Huh? Who's here?"
"There's a knock on the door." Zhan Xinyue replied.
Ouyang Jie was concentrating on the chessboard when a bodyguard came in a hurry. "Boss, there's a woman outside who claims to be your ex-lover. She said her name is Dongfang Xiaoqing."
The bodyguard looked terrified. Brother Long had only been back in Hong Kong for four or five days, so how come the boss already had a female lover?
Could it be that the boss was tired of Brother Long and deliberately transferred him away so that he could reunite with his old lover? !
Boss Ouyang didn't know what the bodyguard was thinking. When he heard Dongfang Xiaoqing coming, he thought the woman was looking for Zhan Xinyue to pay tribute to Zhang Lihua. Disgust flashed in his eyes and he waved his hand: "No."
"Okay." The bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the boss did not abandon Brother Long.
Otherwise, given Chen Long's infatuation with his boss, he would probably seek death.
"Ignore her and let's continue playing chess." Ouyang Jie made his move.
Sheng Tunan also began to respond to the challenge.
After two or three moves, the bodyguard returned and said, "Boss, that woman said that if you don't go to see her, she will hang herself at the door."
Zhan Xinyue: “…”
Sheng Tunan: "......"
Ouyang Jie was furious; "Then let her hang. Before she dies, throw her away, so as not to ruin the feng shui of the yard."
"No one has dared to threaten me for years!"
Ouyang Jie's face turned green. "This damn woman is just like her mother. When they were together, they were just after my family's money. Later, my father heard about it and asked us to prepare to go to Hong Kong. At that time, I discussed with her and decided to take her to Hong Kong."
"Humph, Dongfang Xiaoqing is reluctant to leave her job at the county troupe and doesn't want to go. She even asked me to steal money from home and hide in the county under an assumed name to live with her forever."
Ouyang Jie said angrily: "She is so stupid and evil. How can a living person like me hide? Or should I hide from the public and hide in the basement every day from now on?"
"Dad, why don't you go out and talk to her clearly." Zhan Xinyue said, "See why she came here today, and tell her your thoughts, so that Dongfang Xiaoqing won't have any more thoughts and she won't bother him in the future."
When Ouyang Jie heard his daughter's voice, his anger subsided by half. He threw the chess piece into the chess box and said gently, "My dear daughter, please don't feel sorry for her. She is not worthy of being a mother. I will go out and give her some money as a reward for giving birth to you."
Ouyang Jie was afraid that Zhan Xinyue would be soft-hearted, so he immediately asked his bodyguard to get some money.
The bodyguard moved quickly, took a stack of money and handed it to Ouyang Jie with both hands.
Zhan Xinyue raised her eyebrows. It would be fine if Ouyang Jie didn't take the money, but if he took the money, it would be like buying out Dongfang Xiaoqing's favor of giving birth to her. This was a humiliation for Dongfang Xiaoqing.
"Dad, I'll go with you to take a look." Zhan Xinyue stood up and wanted to see how angry Dongfang Xiaoqing was.
"Okay." Ouyang Jie nodded and walked out of the courtyard gate.
Wherever his wife is, Sheng Tunan is there.
Sheng Tunan also followed, and the three of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard in an orderly manner.
The bodyguard opened the door, and Dongfang Xiaoqing was the first to see Ouyang Jie walking in front. She was so surprised that she pursed her throat and ran over.
"Ouyang, you came out to pick me up in person? I brought you your favorite grapes. I just picked them from my mother's yard. They are fresh. I washed them. I also brought rice wine and homemade marinated duck. Let's go in and eat and drink."
"Let's talk here." Ouyang Jie took a step back, not letting Dongfang Xiaoqing get close to him.
Dongfang Xiaoqing was stunned and stood there awkwardly with the things in her hand.
Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan did not follow, but stood behind the wisteria flowers on the corridor to watch the fun.
Dongfang Xiaoqing's heart and eyes were full of Ouyang Jie, and she didn't notice the two of them. She thought Ouyang Jie was so cold today because she was married, so she hurriedly said,
"Ouyang, I had no choice but to marry my current husband. It's not easy for a woman like me to live, so I had to find someone who could protect me. Li Xiangqiang and I have no feelings for each other. I know you are not married yet, are you still waiting for me? I can divorce you right away. And now our daughter has recognized you, and our family of three can live happily together in the future."
Dongfang Xiaoqing loves money and power more. If Li Xiangqiang still cared for her as before, Dongfang Xiaoqing would never take the risk of divorce and find Ouyang Jie.
But now Li Xiangqiang's attitude towards her has changed drastically. He no longer cares for her and has not given her all his allowances. He only gives her basic living expenses every month. She has no extra money to buy beautiful clothes, make exquisite hairstyles, or buy high-end foreign skin care products. Her life is very restricted.
A few days ago, Dongfang Xiaoqing saw Ouyang Jie on TV and saw that he was awarded a medal by the country. She also knew that Zhan Xinyue's godfather was Wen Lao, which was also related to power. Moreover, the money that Ouyang Jie donated to build roads in Cambridge was something that Li Xiangqiang could never earn back in his lifetime. Dongfang Xiaoqing was shaken. She still loved Ouyang Jie. Tonight, after being warned by Li Xiangqiang, the grievance of having no money came up all of a sudden, so she packed herself up and ran to her first love at night with wine, food and grapes.
"Oh?" Ouyang Jie looked at the man holding a child walking across the street, looked down at Dongfang Xiaoqing, sneered, and asked, "We are a family of three? What about your son?"
Dongfang Xiaoqing thought Ouyang Jie still had feelings for her, so she immediately said, "Ouyang, dear Ouyang, I don't love Li Xiangqiang. I don't want his son. Just let her live with her father. I can leave the house for you. I don't want his money or his son. I just want you."
Ouyang Jie sneered: "Just my money is enough."
"How could you think of me like that?" Dongfang Xiaoqing looked at Chuchu pitifully with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, don't you want me and Dad?" Suddenly, a sad and anxious child's voice pierced the night sky. Li Yuchen struggled to slide down from his father's arms, ran to Dongfang Xiaoqing, raised his tearful face, and looked at his mother in fear and disbelief.
