Chapter 439 - 420: Getting Even-III
Li Lian didn’t know how long she had been wanting to seen him despite their short separation. However, at this moment many things caught up to her mind and she stood there trying to take in what she saw and process them.
"Li Lian," Li Jun Wei called and she felt her entire body moving toward him without her thinking.
"Jun Wei," Li Lian said. She wasn’t exactly surprise by seeing Suzheng beaten up or Jin Family kneeling on the ground. It was one of the scene she had often come across when she was still living in Maple House, where people who had done wrong was punished this way. What she didn’t expect was that Li Jun Wei was the person to perform this.
"Come here," Li Jun Wei said, he spread his arm in the most loving way as if offering for a hug. His eyes looked empty and hollow, even though it slightly brightened with her appearance, there was still darkness in it that had spread too deeply.
Li Lian couldn’t bear to see him with such lonely gaze and took his hand once she come to his side. Her eyes then moved to see Mr and Mrs Jin before looking at Jin Nu Yuan who was clearly daunted by what happened that she shrunk behind her mother, as if afraid that Li Jun Wei or her will pick her next.
"H-How could you do this! You have businesses only with me and not my children!" Shrieked Mrs Jin who cannot see how Li Jun Wei was trying to find comfort from Li Lian when her son was bleeding out on the other side of the room. "Did you forgot we are still a family?" asked the elder woman through a gritted teeth.
Li Jun Wei swept his eyes coldly and the hollowness of his eyes spread, causing him to appear as a taunting and cold-hearted person. "Family do not hurt each other or hold I’ll intent, auntie. That was how I was taught and brought up; and what I believe. But all of you did the opposite which mean you never considered me a family. Why should I then? I may not have business with Suzheng, but it comes to my mind you wouldn’t feel it’s a punishment until you see with your own eyes how your son’s life is going to end up. Remember, the reason why your son ended up there is because of you. It would be much better if you start to reflect what you did than persuading me."
Mrs Jin sent a low glare toward Li Lian, the source of her doom, "We did nothin-"
Li Lian heard from the opposite side of her right a punch rang out. It was the bodyguard who stood in front of Suzheng that had punch the kneeling man.
"Age don’t do you wise, I see," Li Jun Wei suddenly stood up and walk when one person came to bring him his golf bag. Pulling the golf stick, he ran his hand toward the handle, his eyes turning much darker as if he was drunk and high from anger. "Nu Yuan," Li Jun Wei called and Li Lian saw how the younger woman’s body trembled.
All this twenty four years of her life, Jin Nu Yuan was treated like a princess, believing herself to be one of the highest woman in Beijing as she was the only girl in Li Family. It comes without the need to proof how spoiled rotten she was.
Never in Jin Nu Yuan’s life have she been beaten by anyone or even slapped by her parents. Seeing the golf stick, she cried, "Mother!"
