CHAPTER 586: CHAPTER 575: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER OF THE PRESTIGIOUS FAMILY’S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

"If you don’t divorce, do you think you can coax her back?" Li Pengcheng glared at his son, "She can’t give birth to a son, I can’t let our Li family have no descendants, if she wants to divorce, then let her divorce."

"I..." When it came down to it, Li Chengyu was at a loss for words, as he still had feelings for Ye Chan. They once were a couple that others envied. How did it come to this?

"Then what’s the reason for the divorce? We can’t let people think that it’s our son’s fault," Gao Juan said, unconvinced.

Li Pengcheng snorted coldly: "You think Ye Chan is easy to bully? She has always been self-disciplined. If you malign her rashly, won’t she fight back?"

"So we’re just going to let this go?" Gao Juan was not content and, as if she remembered something, added, "Doesn’t she have a father who loves gambling? We don’t have to spell it out, we’ll divorce first, and then spread the news that her dad is a gambling addict, a bottomless pit. This way, it’s also good for our family’s reputation."

Li Pengcheng didn’t speak this time, which was taken as agreement.

Li Xinyi saw that her parents had decided this way and still felt some heartache. How could marriage, such a sacred thing, be so easily ended?

No, she had to talk to her sister-in-law tomorrow and ask her to reconcile with her older brother.

Li Chengyu lay on the big bed in his room, but the person who used to keep him company was no longer there. Looking at all those familiar items, he cried out in sorrow and then smashed all the cosmetics to the floor.

The next day, Ye Chan slept in late, a rare luxury. Having decided to leave, she didn’t plan to go to the company anymore, but instead delegated her work simply and ended up keeping the appointment with Li Xinyi.

Ye Chan sincerely liked her little sister-in-law. Li Xinyi had been pampered from childhood, with simple thoughts. Ye Chan felt that the in-laws protected the little sister-in-law too well. Although she was a beloved daughter, she would have to marry someday. Even if her husband cherished her, his relatives would not treat her as their own daughter.

Of course, if the in-laws continue to spoil the little sister-in-law like this after marrying her off, it wouldn’t be entirely impossible.

"Sister-in-law." Li Xinyi affectionately called, and a doting smile appeared on Ye Chan’s face. After all, who could bear to hurt such a cute and innocent little girl?

"What’s the rush? You’re sweating, aren’t you?" Ye Chan handed her a wet wipe, and seeing Li Xinyi tilt her face towards her, she naturally helped her wipe it away.

"You’re so grown up, yet you’re still so childish," Ye Chan tapped on her forehead.

Li Xinyi giggled: "You are my dearest sister-in-law, of course, I’m just a child in front of you."

"Always so glib." Ye Chan put the milk tea that Li Xinyi most enjoyed in front of her and took a sip of the health tea in her thermos.

Li Xinyi looked over curiously: "Sister-in-law, what are you drinking?"

"Herbal tea made from Chinese medicine, you young girls wouldn’t like it." After hearing that, Li Xinyi’s curiosity was satisfied and she took a big gulp of her milk tea.

She took a sip, glanced at Ye Chan, took another sip, and looked again. Ye Chan sighed helplessly: "Come on, what’s the reason you wanted to meet today?"

"Sister-in-law, can you not divorce my brother, please!" Li Xinyi whispered, pleadingly.

Ye Chan had guessed she would say this today, so she wasn’t angry. Instead, she smiled faintly: "You should not interfere with such matters; emotions are complicated."

"How come they can’t be explained? I know that you love my brother, or you wouldn’t have married him, and my brother loves you too, or he, being such a proud person, wouldn’t have lowered himself to pursue you, Sister-in-Law. If you both love each other, why would you want to divorce?" Li Xinyi asked anxiously.

"But when there’s a third party involved, the relationship is no longer pure, and it can’t go back to the way it was," Ye Chan said, looking at Li Xinyi with calm eyes, yet her tone was very firm.

"I know my brother is at fault, but what I know is he doesn’t love that woman. Can’t you forgive him just this once? I heard it yesterday; my brother was really angry in his room, and he seemed to have cried as well."

Cried?

Ye Chan’s hand holding the teacup paused, but her attitude remained firm: "I’m very sorry, Xinyi."

"Why are you being so stubborn?" Li Xinyi said, her tone somewhat anxious. "Sister-in-law, do you know our family is in chaos now? Because of you and my brother, Mom and Dad almost started arguing. Can’t you just feel sorry for us and let it go?"

Ye Chan found Li Xinyi’s words somewhat unreasonable. After all, none of this was her fault from the start. How could she be blamed?

But she also knew that Li Xinyi was just a kid. What children want most is a harmonious family, and it wasn’t her fault for not understanding everything.

"Xinyi, you’re still young. When you grow up, you’ll understand. There shouldn’t be a third party in the relationship between two people. Moreover, I can’t conceive and can’t give Chengyu a child. Our divorce is the best choice."

"But my brother has promised to get rid of that mistress, and if you can’t have children, it just so happens that she has brought a child to you and my brother. Isn’t this perfect? Everyone would be overjoyed," Li Xinyi said as if it were the most natural thing.

Actually, she felt a twinge of guilt inside. Although it’s not nice to ask her sister-in-law to raise a child her brother had with another woman, this seemed like the best way to keep the family together! After this incident, my brother would surely cherish the sister-in-law even more. Wouldn’t that be good?

And as the saying goes, the grace of raising a child is greater than that of giving birth. As long as the sister-in-law takes good care of the child, the child will surely like and respect her. Why is Sister-in-Law so stubborn and unwilling?

After listening to Li Xinyi’s matter-of-fact words, Ye Chan’s eyes widened in disbelief. She knew her younger sister-in-law was naive, but she didn’t know she was this naive!

What does it mean that it’s just fine for her to raise her husband’s child with another woman? Because she can’t have children, she must endure her husband’s infidelity, right?

Why should she swallow her pride and silently tolerate this, even though it’s not her fault, just to appease them as a family?

"Pfft!" Just when Ye Chan was holding back her anger and about to retort, a laugh came from the next table.

"Ha ha, how funny, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard since I returned to the country," said a very bright and flamboyant woman with golden-red curly hair, which didn’t look vulgar on her but made her look even more radiant.

Li Xinyi felt very uncomfortable under her mocking gaze and puffed up her cheeks subconsciously: "Who are you? What gives you the right to laugh at me?"

The woman smiled: "Who I am is not important. What’s important is that your sister-in-law seems very angry after hearing what you’ve said."
