Chapter 190: His Father Pinned Her Down
Luo Yang tsked, rolled his eyes, and muttered: “So what if she hears it? Anyway, she doesn’t dare to divorce Dad now.”
“Dad.” Luo Yang looked at him expectantly and asked: “Why have you been dragging your feet on the divorce? I want Aunt Qianqian to be my new mom! Aunt Qianqian is fashionable and beautiful. If she goes to parent-teacher conference for me, I’d have so much face!”
“Unlike Mom, who always wears that old-fashioned tattered qipao!”
“Now she keeps restricting me from doing this and that. Yesterday she even forced me to get some sun! Look at my hand—it’s peeling from the sunburn!”
“It’s not time yet. Wait until Dad gets your mom to help out, then I’ll agree to divorce her.”
Luo Gaoyuan patted Luo Yang’s head and said: “During this time, be a bit more obedient in front of her. Help Dad say some good things. Once her attitude softens and she signs the document, Dad can divorce her.”
Luo Yang pouted reluctantly and said: “Fine, I know…”
Before he finished speaking, he caught sight of Li Meilin standing in the doorway, her eyes red, breathing rapidly, looking utterly furious, which gave him a big scare: “Mom?!”
The startled Luo Yang loudly blamed her: “Why are you standing in the doorway like a ghost! You scared me to death, you know!”
“Where did you go out so early in the morning? Did you buy breakfast? I’m starving! Hurry and give me breakfast!”
Luo Gaoyuan saw Li Meilin’s appearance, his heart sank, a bad premonition surged in his mind, but on the surface he glared at Luo Yang and scolded him: “Yangyang! How do you talk to your mom?!”
He quickly stepped forward, gently and caringly reaching out to take Li Meilin’s bag: “Meilin, you’re back. Are you tired from going out? You… when did you get back?”
How much of the conversation between him and Luo Yang had Li Meilin just heard?
Li Meilin dodged his touch with a big movement, gritted her teeth, glared at him with full hatred, her voice trembling: “Luo Gaoyuan! You lied to me! You lied to me!!”
Her voice suddenly rose sharply, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time erupting violently. In hysteria, she forcefully flung the bag in her hand at Luo Gaoyuan’s face: “You haven’t broken up with that mistress at all! You, you even took Yangyang to see her! You bastard!”
Heaven knows how painful Li Meilin’s heart was when she heard what Luo Yang said outside!
That was the child she had carried for ten months, nearly losing her life to give birth to! She never expected that in his eyes, she as a mother was so unbearable!
And the chief culprit Luo Gaoyuan, how dare he! How dare he let the mistress contact her child! This beast!
Li Meilin screamed and pounced on him regardless, her sharp fingernails scratching straight at his face: “Luo Gaoyuan! Where exactly did I let you down! That you treat me like this! Tell me! Tell me!”
Luo Gaoyuan couldn’t dodge in time and was scratched with several gashes, his face burning with pain.
Mother-in-law cried out: “Oh my god! Li Meilin! Are you trying to kill me?! You dare hit my son!”
She hurriedly pounced to pull Li Meilin away, but the furious Li Meilin was not easy to control at all. Not only did she scratch Luo Gaoyuan, she even scratched her mother-in-law, whom she usually didn’t dare offend.
Luo Yang knew he had said the wrong thing and didn’t dare stay in the living room. While they were fighting, he slipped upstairs to his own room.
Luo Gaoyuan held back at first, but after Li Meilin scratched two more gashes on his face, he completely lost his temper and forcefully pushed Li Meilin away.
Li Meilin’s waist heavily hit the table leg, pain making her face go pale.
Luo Gaoyuan darkly touched the wound on his cheek and angrily said: “You still have the nerve to ask why I’m treating you like this? Li Meilin! Look at yourself now—you’re just like a crazy woman on the street! How can you compare to even one finger of Qianqian!”
Li Meilin hurt physically and mentally, her whole body shivering cold, eyes red, voice shaking: “In your heart, I’m just a crazy woman? Then what about all my efforts for you these years? Am I just unlucky?”
“Luo Gaoyuan, a person can’t be that shameless! It was you who promised me you’d break up with her! You deceived me! You’re a hypocritical villain! You bastard!”
“I can’t stay in this house for another moment! We’re divorcing! We’re divorcing!”
Li Meilin screamed in breakdown, grabbed her bag, and turned to leave.
A dark glint flashed in Luo Gaoyuan’s eyes, a ruthless expression appeared on his face. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Meilin’s hand, his voice cold: “No! You can’t leave yet!”
“If you want a divorce, fine! Sign this!”
As he spoke, he forcefully dragged Li Meilin to the side table, flung her onto the sofa, and took a document from the drawer, slamming it in front of her.
Li Meilin immediately saw the big words written on the document: Haiyang Bank personal loan agreement
The borrower on the next line was already printed with her name.
Li Meilin quickly picked up the contract and flipped through it. The more she flipped, the more her hands shook. This was her personal loan contract with Haiyang Bank, for a total of eighty million!
The guarantors were her good father and good mother.
She finally understood why Luo Gaoyuan had been refusing to divorce. So, so this was his scheme!
Luo Gaoyuan’s voice softened a bit: “The company’s funds have a little problem and need some money to tide over. I’ve borrowed from everyone I can around me. Meilin, for the sake of our marriage, help me out.”
“Then I’ll immediately divorce you! I’ll also give you half the property! You don’t have to repay this money. I absolutely won’t let you suffer a loss!”
“Meilin, you can’t just watch our son become a debt-ridden second generation, right?”
Li Meilin was so angry she felt dizzy. She fiercely flung the contract at Luo Gaoyuan and quickly stood up: “In your dreams! I won’t sign this contract!”
Li Meilin quickly ran toward the doorway. She clearly knew that if she signed this contract, her life would be completely ruined!
Luo Gaoyuan’s face completely darkened. If it weren’t for needing to record video when signing the contract, Luo Gaoyuan would have long ago paid a high price for a folk expert to imitate Li Meilin’s signature. Why bother with all this effort to coax her?
Truly an ungrateful thing!
The grievances from acting humble these days, plus the anger from just being scratched, instantly clouded Luo Gaoyuan’s mind. He chased after her in three strides, grabbed Li Meilin’s hair, and yanked her back forcefully: “You don’t want to sign! You will sign anyway!”
“Let go of me! Let go of me!” Li Meilin’s strength couldn’t match Luo Gaoyuan’s at all. She was pinned dead on the side table by him.
Luo Gaoyuan shouted loudly: “Mom! Bring the signing pen from the drawer!”
Luo Gaoyuan’s mother snapped back to attention and fished out the signing pen to hand to him: “Here!”
Luo Gaoyuan shoved the signing pen into Li Meilin’s hand, held her hand down, and was about to sign on the document.
Li Meilin struggled desperately with all her might: “No! Let go of me! Let go of me—!”
She struggled too fiercely. Luo Gaoyuan’s body had been hollowed out by alcohol and debauchery these years, and he almost couldn’t hold her down, unable to sign the name.
Luo Yang in the room heard the living room quiet down, thinking the argument was over. He went downstairs and saw Li Meilin pinned on the side table by Luo Gaoyuan.
He froze for a moment, then asked somewhat fearfully: “Dad, what are you doing?”
Luo Gaoyuan’s eyes lit up and he beckoned him: “Son, quick! Come help Dad make your mom sign this document!”
“As long as she signs, you’ll have money to buy a sports car!”
Luo Yang hesitated and stepped forward. Under Li Meilin’s despairing gaze, he imitated Luo Gaoyuan and held her down.
