Sweet Beauty

Chapter 436 - Closing The Net I

After Wei Guowei heard that, he was very angry. "How dare she!"

He hadn't expected Jiang Huifang to really act like that. She would record evidence of him cheating and accuse him of murder.

Wei Guowei didn't understand the marriage law, but if the divorce was due to him cheating, he knew that the court wouldn't only give half of his property to Jiang Huifang, but might even give her more.

The judge wouldn't care who earned the money. The advantage would definitely be on Jiang Huifang's side.

Not to mention half of it, even a single cent Wei Guowei didn't want to give to Jiang Huifang.

Why were all the women in this world like this? They all wanted his money!

Liang Lihua was like this, and Jiang Huifang was like this too!

Wei Xiaoqing bit her lips and said in an aggrieved tone. "That's exactly what she said. She even said that she would break off my engagement. Even if you return, she won't forgive you! Now she's even found a lawyer and is waiting to sue you. Dad, I really can't persuade her. What should I do?"

Wei Guowei breathed out the foul air in his heart. He really wanted to strangle Jiang Huifang to death right now.

He raised his hand and pressed the bridge of his nose, trying his best to sound calm as he said, "Xiaoqing, you're the most obedient in our family. Go and help dad delete the recording, and then destroy the photos. After this, you'll still be dad's good daughter. I'll take responsibility for your future."

Wei Xiaoqing no longer wanted this kind of treatment from Wei Guowei. After this incident, she'd understood one thing.

It was better to depend on yourself than to depend on others.

The money would only be hers if she held it in her hand.

Wei Xiaoqing sighed and seemed a bit troubled. "Dad, I'll tell you the truth. It's because I advised mom to pack everything and leave this house that I lost her trust. She's already given the evidence to the lawyer. I just took a glance and she wouldn't even let me touch it. I really have no way here."

Wei Guowei spat on the ground in frustration. "That bitch Jiang Huifang, did she forget what I had done before? Good, very good! How dare she challenge my bottom line!"

The more he cursed, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he wanted to crawl into the phone to find Jiang Huifang and settle the score with her immediately.

"Xiaoqing, where's your mother? Is she home now?"

"Yes, she's been sick ever since she came back. She can't even get out of bed now." Wei Xiaoqing recited the script according to Liang Zixuan's instruction.

In this matter, she chose to believe in Liang Zixuan. Liang Zixuan hated Wei Guowei as much as she did, so Liang Zixuan certainly wouldn't spare any energy to help her in this matter.

When Wei Guowei heard that Jiang Huifang was sick, he was pleasantly surprised and immediately got up from the sofa. "Is your mother really sick?"

"That's right!" Wei Xiaoqing asked innocently. "Dad, why did you seem so happy?"

"I'm not." Wei Guowei coughed to hide his abnormal behavior. He laughed dryly. "After all, your mother has been my wife for more than twenty years. She's sick, so I have to come back and take care of her no matter what. Xiaoqing, have all the servants gone home for the holiday?"

"En!" Wei Xiaoqing nodded. "They've all gone back. There are even four days of leave for them."

"Good, then I'll buy some food on my way back. Your mother is sick, so you probably haven't eaten anything yet. When I come back, I'll make you something to eat."

After hanging up, Wei Guowei hurried out the door with the car key in his hand.

At this time, no street stalls were open. Wei Guowei drove to a supermarket, bought some cooked vegetables and seafood, and then carried two full bags of groceries home.

Wei Xiaoqing and Jiang Huifang had discussed this a long time ago. Jiang Huifang had put on sickly makeup, and it was Liang Zixuan who had told Wei Xiaoqing to make Jiang Huifang look worse than she really was.

After helping Jiang Huifang put on makeup, Wei Xiaoqing began to admire Liang Zixuan in her heart.

If it weren't for Liang Zixuan's suggestion of makeup, Wei Xiaoqing wouldn't have been able to produce such an effect on Jiang Huifang.

Looking at Jiang Huifang's face, Wei Xiaoqing nodded with satisfaction. "If I didn't know, honestly just by looking at your face, I would've thought you were sick."

Jiang Huifang smiled smugly. "Is that so? Xiaoqing, you must let your father think that I'm going to die of illness. If I don't have the strength to fight him, he will lower his guard and make a move against me."

Wei Xiaoqing still didn't feel assured with Jiang Huifang, so she repeated what Liang Zixuan had said to her once more.

Jiang Huifang nodded vigorously. "I'll keep it in mind. Don't worry, I'll definitely persuade your father to tell us what happened that year. Don't worry, I can do it!"

Even though Wei Xiaoqing was worried, there was nothing she could do about it. The sound of leather shoes scraping against the ground came from the corridor.

Wei Xiaoqing quickly made a moving gesture and grabbed Jiang Huifang's hand, crying out at the same time. "Mom, just listen to me! If dad comes back, just live well with him! I don't want you to divorce, I don't want to have no dad!"

"Then..." Jiang Huifang said dispiritedly, "Then you should go with your father. I-I can live on my own. With your father's money, I won't starve to death."

"Mom ..." Wei Xiaoqing tried her best to persuade Jiang Huifang. "Don't think too much of it, don't be so extreme! Dad was just confused for a moment and let that woman charm him! You two have been together for a long time and have such deep feelings for each other. Can you really bear to do that?"

"I can't bear to part with him, but there's nothing I can do about it." Jiang Huifang originally wanted to cry just like Wei Xiaoqing, but she felt that this wasn't the most realistic time to cry, so she didn't dare to cry. She's also afraid that her makeup would be ruined.

"Xiaoqing, your father won't come back. He hated me to the bone. Really, I have no choice other than to take this step."

"Who told you that?" Wei Guowei suddenly came in and stood behind Wei Xiaoqing. He looked at Jiang Huifang on the bed and secretly rejoiced, but said bitterly, "You and I have been husband and wife for more than twenty years, how could I possibly divorce you? That day, I was so angry with you that I said those words."

Jiang Huifang looked at Wei Guowei in disbelief. "Don't lie to me! I know all about what you did back then. You killed Liang Lihua for me, and now you even want to kill me for another woman!"

When Wei Xiaoqing saw Wei Guowei coming over, she quickly stood up and moved out of the way. She purposely gave Jiang Huifang and Wei Guowei a chance to speak.

Wei Guowei thought Wei Xiaoqing was sensible and a good child, so he patted her on the shoulder with satisfaction. "Xiaoqing, go out.. I'll have a good talk with your mother."
