"Li Bochen! You're crazy! Completely insane!" Li Jiancheng roared, seeing Jian Ningyi being injured by Li Bochen, his anger reaching its peak.

Jian Ning's thoughts were a jumble of emotions: anger, self-deprecation, and above all, a bloodthirsty hatred.

"Lu Ningxi, I truly regret not killing you sooner..."

Luo Ningxi glanced at Jian Nini, her almond-shaped eyes filled with a chilling coldness. "That's too bad, you won't have that chance this time. I won't let you go so easily like before!"

Jian Ning had a bad feeling.

The very next second, Luo Ningxi looked straight at Lao Ye and said, "Jian Ningyi has been using the Li family as a shield to do evil! Now, I demand that Li Jiancheng divorce her and banish her from the Li family forever!"

Luo Ningxi's tone was calm and collected, yet it struck Jian Ningyi like a bolt from the blue!

"You're out of your mind!" Jian Ningyi's face had gone from white to green, screaming hysterically, "I've been married into the Li family for so many years, and I even gave birth to a son for Jian Cheng. What gives you the right to divorce us!"

"I just can't stand that you use the identity of Mrs. Li Er Shao to back you up, and after every bad thing you do, you can hide yourself beautifully!"

Luo Ningxi's eyes were cold as blades, showing no mercy whatsoever. "Just because you wanted to kill me and my unborn child, and caused Yu Chengnan to get hurt! To be so ruthless and cruel, do you deserve to be the second young mistress of the Li family? Do you deserve to be a person at all!"

Since Jian Ning cherished her identity as the second mistress of the Li family so much, she would thoroughly destroy that identity and leave her completely unprotected!

"Luo Ningxi, you despicable wretch!"

At this moment, Jian Ning's mind was filled with only one thought: she couldn't, absolutely couldn't leave the Li family!

Jian Ningyi knelt at the feet of Old Master Li, at this moment, what dignity was unimportant.

The Jian family had long since fallen into disrepair. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to life as a wealthy mistress in the Li family and frequently used their power to suppress others.

Yu Lan hated herself to her very core. If she lost the protection of the Li family, Jian Ningyi could only imagine how miserable her fate would be.

"Dad... I can't divorce Jiancheng. LeLe is so young, he needs to be taken care of. He can't do without his mother at this time..."

"Your grandfather watched me grow up! All these years, I've put in my share of work and endured hardship. You can't treat me like this. What's more... what's more, you kicked me out because of Luo Ningxi's threat. How will outsiders view the Li family?"

Mr. Li narrowed his aged eyes and remained silent for a moment.

There's no doubt he dislikes Jian Ningyi, his daughter-in-law.

Especially after the incident six years ago, the two sons turned against each other, and Li Bochen was forced to leave his hometown.

Although he had ties with the Jian family, raising Jian Ningyi to adulthood and allowing her to enjoy so many years of wealth and prosperity could be considered a repayment to the Jian family.

If Jian Ningyi were to continue staying in the old house, by Li Bochen's side, she would be a ticking time bomb.

“I think this is a good idea too.” Li Bochen knew that the old man was weighing the pros and cons, so he lowered his eyes to straighten the wrinkles on his shirt cuffs before calmly speaking, “After so many years of friendship with my second sister-in-law, it's time to draw a line. Divorcing now not only protects the reputation of the Li family but also gives Luo Ningxi an explanation. It's a win-win situation.”

"No!!!"

Jian Ning cried out in a shrill, desperate voice, her eyes filled with terror as she exclaimed, “Dad! Husband! This is what Luo Ningxi, that wretch, wants! She wants to ruin me! You mustn't let her succeed! I swear, I will never bother Acheng again. I will be the perfect Second Mistress of the Li family…”

It's best if Jian Ning hadn't said that last sentence. After she uttered those words, the disdain in Lao Ye's eyes deepened even further.

Yu Chengnan seemed to have noticed something, covering his abdomen wound and coughing violently a few times. He said meaningfully, "Lord Li, since the second mistress has made a mistake, she must be punished. This not only gives Luo Ningxi an explanation, but also gives our Yu family an explanation!"

"Don't worry, Chengnan. Now that the truth is out, Dad won't let our Yu family suffer any injustice." Yu Lan hurriedly ran to the bedside to comfort Yu Chengnan, her eyes full of concern.

She took Yu Chengnan's hand and looked at Old Master Li again, her shrewd eyes slightly raised.

"Dad, you can see that Chengnan's body can't take it anymore. You should make a decision as soon as possible! If we don't severely punish Jian Ningyi this time, she might cause even more trouble in the future! I don't want to keep such a venomous snake at home. Today it's Loningxi, tomorrow who knows... "

Li Jiancheng was so angry his eyes were about to burst, who else could fail to hear the subtle insinuations in Yu Lan's words?

"Sister-in-law, I thought no matter what, you're family. How can you betray us at this time? Dad, you can't agree to this! Think about LeLe, he's so young, he can't bear losing his mother..."

"That's enough!!" Old Master Li slammed his cane onto the ground, letting out a cold snort without making a sound. "Luo Ningxi, I can let those two divorce and stop protecting Jian Nini from then on, but I have one requirement. Don't make a big fuss about this. I don't want the Li family to be plagued by scandals again and again."

"Deal!"
