Li Qiyu sat down next to Song Yian and said, "Is there really no room for negotiation on this matter?"
Song Yian puffed out his cheeks like a little frog. "Li Qiyu, if you keep pestering me about this, don't blame me for getting angry."
Li Qiyu sighed. "At least you should listen to me explain why I must do this."
Song Yian was being completely unreasonable. "I know you want to break away from the Li family, but this has nothing to do with our divorce. We don't have to get divorced, and it won't affect your leaving the Li family. You can go whenever you want. Besides, even if you don't go, we just don't go back to the Li family. What, do you suspect me and Li Xichi now?"
Li Qiyu shook her head. She said with a bitter smile, "You should remember that I told you before that it would be very difficult for me to break away from the Li family if I don't divorce you."
"I'll help you."
"You can't help me."
"Why?"
"Because this is not just my business, but also Li Xiyu's."
Hearing Li Xiyu's name, Song Yian fell silent. Li Qiyu finally found a breakthrough and explained, "I'm divorcing you on behalf of Li Xiyu. I can get jealous too. When you got married to her, the person was her and the name was hers. Now you're not Song Jiaye and I'm not Li Xiyu. Of course we should set things right."
Hearing the word "jealous", Song Yian, who was originally burning with anger, suddenly felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey. His rationality finally returned. He said, "Okay, then I'll just listen to what you have to say."
Li Qiyu said jokingly and persuasively, "Song Yian, I want to avenge Li Xiyu and safeguard what belongs to her."
"What do you mean?"
"If Li Xiyu doesn't leave the Li family, all of her mother's property will go to the Li family."
"Are you worried about Jiang Yongfeng and Li Xichi? You can rest assured on this point. I know Li Xiangping quite well. Although he likes Jiang Yongfeng, it doesn't mean he will divide the property with her. In Li Xiangping's mind, he clearly differentiates the blood - related relationships."
"What if I tell you that Li Xiangping thinks Li Xichi is his daughter?"
"What?"
"What if I tell you that Li Xiangping is actually the murderer who killed Li Xiyu?"
"What!"
"What if I tell you again that Li Xiangping even had improper behavior towards your mother back then?"
"What!!"
Now, Song Yian couldn't help but listen. He quickly asked, "What on earth is going on? Explain it clearly."
Actually, Li Qiyu had always wanted to keep this matter buried in her heart. But things had come to this point. If she didn't explain it clearly, it would leave a knot in Song Yian's heart. So after thinking about it, she decided to tell the truth directly.
"We all know that Jiang Yongfeng is your mother's name, right? The current one is just an imposter. But she not only stole your mother's name, but also her past."
Song Yian nodded. "I know this. When my mom changed names with her back then, she was already prepared to exchange their lives. So is there a problem with this?"
"But Jiang Yongfeng, your mother, and Li Xiangping were first - love lovers."
"Come on, don't believe this. Back then, he was just a driver for the Jiang family. My mom was kind - hearted and was a bit nicer to him. My mom also told me about this past. She said that Li Xiangping was untrustworthy and told me to stay away from him in the future. If it weren't for Li Xiyu, I might not have gotten involved with the Li family at all."
"But that's what Li Xiangping thought. And he took advantage of your mother's difficult situation. While your mother was in a coma, he... So, that's why he has the misunderstanding that Li Xichi is his daughter. If you don't believe me, you can call now and subtly ask if Li Xichi is his biological daughter. Now that Song Yunsheng has fallen, he is focused on you. It's easy for you to test him."
Hearing this, Song Yian felt his mind was in a mess. Of course he wouldn't ask. It wasn't that he was too lazy to do so. He absolutely trusted Li Qiyu. Li Qiyu had no reason to lie to him.
"Then you said Li Xiangping killed Li Xiyu. How could that be? This is impossible. As far as I know, no matter what, Li Xiangping cherished Li Xiyu as his daughter very much."
Li Qiyu clicked on her phone and found the video. She said, "Don't you always have doubts about Li Xiyu's drowning? You asked your brothers to investigate. This is the video they sent me. It was accidentally filmed by a drunkard. I think you'll be more familiar with the person in it than I am."
Song Yian clicked on the video. In the face of the irrefutable evidence, he had nothing to say.
"But why..." Song Yian was no stranger to the evil in people's hearts, but they say even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. Li Xiangping's actions made his hair stand on end.
"I guess it's probably because of the inheritance Li Xiyu had in her hands."
"So, this is the reason why you want to divorce me?"
"Yes. I'll divorce you and hand over all my property to you. In this way, he'll think I'm useless and give up on me. Then I can leave the Li family. But if I have a head - on conflict with him and try to leave the Li family forcefully, he'll definitely use our blood relationship to tie me down and will also take the opportunity to take away my property. So, we must get divorced, and it has to be a very bad divorce, like it's either you or me."
Hearing this, Song Yian was very embarrassed. "You're making things difficult for me, aren't you?"
He couldn't even bear to say a single harsh word to Li Qiyu. How could he act out a divorce scene with her?
"Then just imagine I'm Li Xiyu."
Song Yian looked at Li Qiyu. Although the person in front of him looked exactly like Li Xiyu, in Song Yian's eyes, this was clearly Li Qiyu.
Li Qiyu was very frustrated when she saw his affectionate look. She slumped her shoulders helplessly.
"Forget it. After the things here in the capital are settled, I'll go back alone. On the phone, just be fierce when you talk."
Song Yian immediately shook his head. "That's out of the question. Since you already know that he's the murderer who killed Li Xiyu, how can you dare to take the risk alone?"
"So, you have to help me leave the Li family quickly. The longer I stay, the more dangerous it is."
Song Yian was coaxed into a daze by Li Qiyu. He nodded absent - mindedly. Watching Li Qiyu stand up with a relieved look and go to the bathroom to take a shower, he then realized what was going on.
Why did he feel that Li Qiyu seemed very happy about the idea of divorcing him?
No, her attitude was wrong. He had to have a good talk with her to set her thoughts right.
