His Rui

Chapter 264 - Li Na Finally Shows Her Real Face

Hearing her father's words, Li Na's eyes went wide for an infinitesimal second and after that they shone with reluctance as she glanced at the calm Li Rui.

"No…I will never bow my head in front of her."

She shouted indecisively forgetting how she had talked in front of Li Caihong when she was asked to apologize to Li Rui last time.

Li Qiang frowned while Li Rong stood silently behind her daughter.

She also knew that the way Li Na said her words was very wrong but she didn't want Li Na to apologize to Li Rui.? However, Li Rong also knew that it was the best way to solve and end this matter here.

Also, she didn't like the way her eldest daughter refused her husband's words.

This was something she had never taught to her children. They were taught to respect and obey their father but then she thought that whatever happened with Li Na in the past few days could make any other girl behave like this.

Her daughter was just worried that what would become of her and her sister's future. Li Rong tried to make her heart understand.

She stepped forward and held her daughter's hand as she tried to make her understand gently.

"Li Na, you can't refuse your father's words. Mother has not taught you to do all this. Also what is wrong in bowing your head in front of your Elder Sister. Mother also feels that whatever we did was wrong."

Li Rong said and glanced at Li Rui with apologetic eyes.

Li Qiang's face also softened a little when he saw that his wife regretted whatever she did. He silently waited for her eldest daughter to apologize to her elder sister.

However, even her mother's words didn't soften Li Na's mountain like attitude. She would never even bow her head in front of Li Rui.

Seeing how everyone's eyes were fixed on her as they waited for her to apologize to Li Rui, Li Na felt very angry and wronged.

All of this would not have happened if only her plan in the Imperial Palace during the banquet would have been successful. She would have easily entered Xi Manor and also stepped on the face of the girl she hated with her whole heart.

Now if she gave up on Prime Minister Xi also, then Li Na knew that she would never be able to marry a man she wished to. That kind of man she would never be able to find because she had been banned from entering the Imperial Palace.

Or even if she found such a man what was the guarantee that he would accept her as his wife?

She could accept to become a concubine of Lord Xi because Li Na thought that it would be very easy to snatch the position of main wife from the cold and calm Li Rui. Also Xi Ying was the man she had liked so she was ready to sacrifice a little bit for him.

Who would like a wood like woman? She would show Lord Xi what a real woman was like.

But now it seems that even entering Xi Manor was very difficult.

It seems that Li Na's mind has become habitual of thinking against Li Rui as she soon started to do so and that too in such an unreasonable way.

'I like a man for the first time in my life only to see that man with Li Rui'.

So Li Na indulged in self-pity. How Li Rui even snatched the man she had liked for herself.

Li Qiang's cold voice again interrupted Li Na's unreasonable thinking.

"Li Na, what are you thinking? Apologize to Rui."

The words only filled Li Na's heart and mind with more anger…so much anger that she didn't even think before speaking her next words.

Throwing away her mother's hands, she looked at her father and started shouting everything that had been suppressed inside her heart for so many years.

"Why should I bow my head in front of her? It is her who should do that and it would be my nobility to forgive her. Since childhood, she had snatched everything from me…every single thing. And father…why do you seem to favor her so much…even more than your daughter?"

Li Na stepped forward and asked her father whose eyes were shining with rage now seeing how she was talking. However Li Qiang could not control his rage when Li Na said her next words.

"Father…it is her father who snatched everything from you. It is you who should have been a General…but he stole eve…."

Li Na didn't know that she picked the raw nerve of his father with her words.

His eyes were red with rage now as she looked at his screaming daughter. He finally couldn't control his anger and raised his hand to slap her hoping that it would make her shut her mouth.

"Li Na"

Li Rong shouted when she saw her husband's raised hand and pushed her daughter away instantly. She hugged her husband's waist who was trembling with rage as he looked at his insensitive daughter.

"Qiang…Qiang …don't be like this. Control your anger…she is your daughter…"

Li Rong sobbed suddenly regretting everything she did. She shouldn't have even agreed to her daughter's plan in the first place.

All of this would not have happened then.

Hearing his wife's sobs, Li Qiang closed his eyes and breathed deeply. He then held his wife's shoulder and pushed her away from himself and said firmly

"Rong'er, make her understand …I don't know from where had she got thoughts like this in her head but if she continues to have such thoughts I don't wish to have such a daughter. I will disown her because Li Clan doesn't have any place for hate and selfishness."

Li Rong's lips trembled as she knew that her husband would really do what he was saying if she didn't do anything. So she said immediately

"No Qiang…I will make her understand …Li Na will apologize to Rui…"

murmured Li Rong and turned around to look at her daughter who was now standing a few steps away because of her push.

Li Na's face was pale and her mind suddenly started to wake up. It was only at this moment, she realized what she had just said.

She was afraid when she heard her father mentioning 'disown' words.

So when her mother said these words, she also nodded her head and said

"I will, Father. Please forgive me for whatever I said just now.. I was not in my right mind."
