Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

"Dad, you’re right, this is my mom’s Jade Pendant. The police solved the case quickly and found it this afternoon, but unfortunately, this is the only piece they found for now."

Du Tian’s voice was a bit hoarse as he looked at Director Du’s ever-changing expression, suppressing a pang of sympathy in his heart.

This retribution, although belated, has finally arrived.

"Xiao... Tian, where... did you find it?" Director Du, usually so shrewd, now sounded distant and unreal.

"Lih Tianci, that’s Lih Shuyi’s brother, he’s been detained. The police took this pendant off his neck. Lih Tianci confessed that his second sister gave it to him. Who his second sister is, I don’t need to tell you, do I?"

It seemed like a question, but his voice carried a faint mockery. Before Director Du could speak, he continued, "Dad, let’s go in. I reckon the police will be here soon. If there’s anything you want to say, you can tell her..."

With that, Du Tian holding the Jade Pendant quickly stepped forward and pushed open the gate of the Du Family’s old mansion.

Director Du was filled with doubt, as if all his blood had congealed, and in the next moment, it rushed madly to his brain. He staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Du Tian was truly startled. His body reacted faster than his mind, and he darted forward, supporting Director Du’s body, urgently asking, "Dad, Dad, are you okay? Is your blood pressure high?"

Director Du took a deep breath, looking at his handsome and elegant eldest son with a tumult of thoughts in his eyes. He gently pushed him away, shaking his head, "I’m fine."

Then, steadying his nerves, he led the way into the courtyard.

They rounded the stone path and reached the front door. Inside, the room was brightly lit, and Director Du gently pushed the door open. Lih Shuyi was on the phone with her back to the door.

"... Why can’t this matter be discussed? Just tell me how my brother is doing..."

Her voice was gentle, seemingly as usual, but if one listened closely, they could hear the suppressed anxiety.

"... Our Old Du has often looked after you, hasn’t he? At this critical moment, you must help. My brother has never suffered, and if he does inside, Old Du will be heartbroken..."

Lih Shuyi was applying pressure with a combination of kindness and intimidation.

"Who is your brother, and why should I feel sorry?"

Suddenly, an icy authoritative voice spoke up behind Lih Shuyi, startling her into a scream. She dropped the phone and quickly turned around.

Her face was pale as she looked at Director Du and Du Tian standing at the door.

The next moment, Director Du quickly walked to Lih Shuyi’s side, not sparing her a glance, but instead picked up the phone she had dropped on the sofa and put it to his ear. His voice was low, "Yes, it’s me. You uphold the law impartially, don’t give face to anyone. Old Yang, I trust you will stick to your principles, no matter who it is!"

After that, Director Du put down the phone.

Turning around to look at Lih Shuyi, he asked again, "I’ll ask you once more, did you take Xiao Tian’s mom’s belongings?"

Du Tian coldly chuckled to himself, admitting now is useless, but if she confesses, she could still be treated leniently.

Lih Shuyi stood dumbfounded in the living room, her mind blank as if this were all a dream.

Seeing Lih Shuyi unresponsive, Director Du frowned and asked again, "I asked you, did you take Xiao Tian’s mom’s belongings?"

This time, Lih Shuyi finally understood.

She first looked at Du Tian, seeing the faint smile on his face, suddenly realizing. Her gaze shifted quickly, and she stepped rapidly to Director Du’s side, lifting her face to use the angle she always did, because from this angle she looked most beautiful to Director Du.

Whenever she wanted something, she usually got it.

Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, almost falling but not quite, which made her look pitifully charming. Her voice choked with sobs, "Old Du, it’s not like that, you’ve misunderstood. My brother’s pendant was given by me, but I bought it from someone else, really, Old Du, after all these years, don’t you know how I feel about you? You said you’d protect me for the rest of my life..."

Du Tian burst out laughing.

This woman really won’t shed tears until she sees the coffin.

He didn’t speak, but watched the show from the side. Wasn’t this woman best at acting? Let her act her heart out today; only his foolish dad would take it seriously.

"Fine, then tell me, from whom did you buy it?" Director Du asked in a deep voice.

"I bought it from a young man, I don’t know him, I bought it because it was cheap. I didn’t know it belonged to Xiao Tian’s mom. If I knew, I would definitely have returned it to Xiao Tian. Old Du, please believe me..."

"How much did you pay for it?"

"Ten thousand yuan. I’m sorry, Old Du. You know my brother is important in the family. You never come to our house, I can’t force you, so I could only express my feelings this way."

As expected of Lih Shuyi, she can lie without batting an eye, crafting stories without a draft.

Such a woman is truly terrifying.

Du Tian thought that his survival might be related to leaving the family early and giving up everything about the Du Family; otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

"Where did you get the money?" Director Du continued asking, his voice forcibly calm.

"I’ve been saving up over the years. I’m sorry, Old Du. I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. Please forgive me this once."

"How did you know I was going to ask about the pendant?" Director Du suddenly questioned.

When they entered, neither he nor Du Tian had said anything. Lih Shuyi immediately mentioned the pendant. If she wasn’t aware of the situation, how could she have brought it up so readily?

Does she think he’s a fool?

"Because my brother also wore a purple pendant. I thought it wasn’t yesterday, so I didn’t pay attention. Today, knowing my brother was caught, seeing you and Xiao Tian’s expressions, I guessed it. Oh, Old Du, my brother is still a child; please find someone to have him released. He won’t dare do it again."

Du Tian coldly watched the woman and suddenly said, "It’s a pity you don’t go into acting. Lih Tianci said you only gave him one Jade Pendant, nothing else. I just want to ask about the other items you saw, did you see them?"

Lih Shuyi’s eyes narrowed slightly. Her little brother was quite clever. If he said there was only one item, it must be to protect himself. This means they do not know where the other items are.

Moreover, their third sister is extremely shrewd and stingy. Once something is in her hands, it is almost impossible to get it out.

Thinking of this, Lih Shuyi’s heart settled down.
