Chapter 446: A Bunch of Shameless People

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was nightfall. Mr. and Mrs. Li had been discussing for the whole evening.

“Will the Chu family agree?

Mrs. Li was feeling doubtful about this. After all, this was such a big house. If it was up to them, she definitely wouldn’t give it away. Not even to her son and daughter-in-law. Would the Chu family really give it to them?

“He is my son-in-law. Can he deny what I want?” There wasn’t an ounce of worry in Mr. Li. “If only Chu Lui had lent us a hand in the first place, we won’t be in this predicament with the dire state of our company and the house being foreclosed by the bank. This was what they owed us. Manni has been their daughter-in-law for four years, and now she is going to give birth to their heir. It is only right that they help us. Otherwise, we won’t allow them to divorce, and none of the Chu family members will be able to see our maternal grandchild again.”

After hearing what her husband had said, Mrs. Li hardened herself. Actually, she was having some regrets. If she had only known that they would be staying here, they should have asked for the villa from Chu Lui. Anyway, this was not the only real estate that he possessed. They could have shifted here instead. When Li Manni was hospitalized, Mrs. Li had witnessed how badly Song Wan was trying to flatter them. If she had asked for this house in the first place, Song Wan would have given it to her without in a heartbeat.

Mrs. Li was dead set on wanting the house, and she wanted them to transfer the deed to her family.

Mr. Li only wanted the house. With a house this big, everything was open for discussion. Mr. Li and Mrs. Li had set their eyes on this house, and they would make sure they have it. Naturally, Mr. Li wanted the house and more. He would also like to have undeveloped land that came along with the house. With its accessibility, every inch of this real estate would be equivalent to gold in the future. Regardless of whether they wanted to sell it or construct a building, this plot of land would allow the Li family to make their comeback within a few years. Although Mr. and Mrs. Li were both absorbed in their own thoughts, they managed to sleep soundly on this night. They almost slept until morning.

How could they be so slow? Mrs. Li was famished, but the maid was too slow. She became impatient and rushed them constantly.

Meanwhile, the maid felt mistreated. Ever since this family set foot into the house, her workload had increased so much more. In the past, she only had to cook for two people. The master wasn’t fussy with food. He wouldn’t mind her cooking as long as it didn’t taste too bad. However, it was an entirely different story with her mistress’ family members. They wanted pork, chicken, and fish. It flustered her to have to kill a chicken or a fish every day. Her food tasted disgusting when she cooked too fast. Yet, if she was too slow, they picked on her, too.

How could they take everything for granted when they were living under someone else’s roof? This was truly a weird family.

The sound of the main door opening could be heard coming from the outside. Soon, the door opened.

Song Wan entered. She scanned.

“Parent-in-law, you’re here.”

Mr. Li asked as he got to his feet, smiling.

Mrs. Li snorted and turned her face away. She continued to put up the pretense of being angry.

“Mom.” Li Manni tugged at her mother’s clothes. Then, she stood up and approached Song Wan. However, before she could touch her mother-in-law’s clothes, Song Wan avoided her with hatred in her eyes. Li Manni halted. She was feeling puzzled as she wondered what had happened to cause Song Wan to act out in this manner. Her fingers paused in mid-air as she felt a sense of crisis.

Song Wan didn’t wait for Li Manni to respond. She walked to the sofa and sat down. No wonder her son refused to come back here. The Li family had occupied this place thoroughly. They really thought of this place as their own house. Had they forgotten that this house had belonged to the Chu family?

“Mom, where is Ah Lui?” Li Manni took a sit close beside Song Wan out of habit. However, Song Wan avoided her again skillfully. The embarrassed Li Manni was at a loss as her hands fumbled to find a place to rest.

Song Wan masked her indifference perfectly.

“Ah Lui has gone to work. I’m here to visit you.”

Mrs. Li snorted. “How can you come empty-handed? Where is your sincerity?”

Song Wan didn’t feel the need to bring any gifts when she was coming to her own house.

“This house is not bad, right?” Song Wan wasn’t bothered with Mrs. Li. As she asked about the house, Mr. Li’s eyes lit up. What a coincidence. She actually offered herself on the platter even before they had asked.

“Yes, it’s not bad.” Mr. Li chuckled. “I’m afraid we may have to stay here for a while longer until we’ve found a place to move in,” he said this on purpose. If Song Wan was smart, she would offer to transfer the house deed under their name. A house in exchange for a grandchild. It wasn’t a bad deal.

“Oh.” The smile on Song Wan’s face became colder, more distant.

“There are plenty of houses in the market. You can look for a place to rent. There’s no need for you to stay in someone else’s house. Don’t you feel bad about it?”

That shocked Mr. Li, and he couldn’t speak for a very long time. Was Song Wan an idiot, or was she just dim-witted? How could she chase them out? Had Mr. Li taken a wrong step? Shouldn’t he have kept quiet and not take the initiative to talk about the house? Did he express himself properly, or was Song Wan just plain dumb?

“Oh…” Mr. Li laughed it off. “There’s no rush in getting the house. Moreover, Manni is in the first trimester, and her pregnancy has not been stable. We will stay here and look after her for the time being to save us the worrying.”

Yes. Nothing could go wrong when they speak of Li Manni’s baby.

“I see.” Song Wan replied as though she had suddenly recalled something.

Mrs. Li smirked. “How was the one to cause our Manni to be hospitalized? Her body is still recovering from the trauma. Even now.”

If it was in the past, Song Wan would try to pacify them out of guilt and gladly offer them the deed to this house. She would give it to them to make them happy. After all, it was just a house. She could live without it. However, right now, she was unwilling to give the Li family anything. Not the house, and not even a strand of her hair.

Song Wan stood up. She had no wish to dawdle as she was worried she wouldn’t be able to contain herself if she had to see this family for a second longer. Then, a fight would really happen between her and the Li family in this house. She would have loved to tear Mrs. Li’s face into shreds with her own hands.

“You have stayed long enough in this house!”

Song Wan delivered the blow to them abruptly. Mr. Li was beginning to feel upset.

“Parent-in-law, what do you mean?” What had she meant when she said ‘stayed long enough’? Mr. Li asked cautiously. Was it exactly like what he was thinking?

“Nothing.” Song Wan didn’t want to be bothered with their nonsense.
