Chapter 232 - 231: Whose House-I
Li Lian looked down at the checkbook which Jin Nu Yuan pushed to her hands. Her eyes looked at the checkbook and her smile appeared which encourage Mrs. Jin and Jin Nu Yuan’s thought that Li Lian would agree to their words to leave Li Family for good and divorce Li Jun Wei.
Mrs. Jin took her hand and sweetly smiled at her and Li Lian know how the smile was not from her heart but had been perfected to look like one, "I know you must have your reason to agree with the marriage contract, I’ve heard everything about you. You are in trouble from what I’ve heard but who am I to judge? Money is different in purpose when it comes to people on your case, you have your reason."
Li Lian’s brows raised, "You have heard everything about me?" asked Li Lian. What did the woman knows about her? Even her secret that she was raised by Yakuzas were kept secret to the point only little knows about it. Li Lian doubt that Mrs. Jin knows she was raised by Yakuza. Or else the woman wouldn’t be here asking her to leave the way she did out of fear in what she could have done to the woman. What secret did the woman knows? She asked herself.
"Of course I did. It is normal for anyone to find out about a new family member, isn’t it?" No, thought Li Lian but Li Family is different than others, "Your family, you are the daughter of Xie Family, aren’t you? I have heard that you had been kicked out, I mean... disowned from the family and you agreed to Jun Wei’s contract for money to live alone. Or possibly to have him help you with your work? I could do that too if you want. In one snap of a finger and your words, I can ask someone to make you famous." Although the method wouldn’t be smooth, Mrs. Jin added in her mind.
She stared at Li Lian who seemed to be surprise by her words and the silence she took it as Li Lian trying to weigh her choice. The smile of the mother and daughter was high up to their cheeks that faltered when they heard Li Lian laughed at them.
Li Lian covered her lips, seeing Mrs. Jin’s thin brows she had pulled up was brought higher, "I should say, that was funny Mrs. Jin. A marriage contract?" Li Lian questioned with her brows pulled, "This is the first time I’ve ever heard of contract marriage. Jun Wei and I are married by love, we love each other and I’ve never signed anything before my marriage. I don’t know what make you think of that Mrs. Jin."
For a good one minute Mrs. Jin looked at her with a blank expression that turn to a frown, "You don’t have to worry if Jun Wei bring you to court, Li Lian. I can also help in that matter. All you need is a simple divorce and we can keep this matter only between us."
