Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Dry Wood, Blazing Fire, Ignites at a Touch
Li Lingyang could very well understand Su Huimiao’s intentions.
He wasn’t completely keeping the children away from Shen Jiangqing, having already proposed joint custody.
It was just that he and Shen Jiangqing weren’t openly together…
Li Lingyang’s narrow eyes slightly squinted, “I asked Uncle Wang, and the old lady’s health isn’t bad. Wouldn’t dad want to come here and teach me, his unfilial son, a lesson on behalf of my wife? But why do I remember, when she was seriously ill with a high fever, you could still leave on a business trip without changing your expression…”
Li Jianbin’s eyes were red with rage, “Are you blaming me for treating your mom poorly?”
“Not at all,” Li Lingyang responded casually.
“Not at all? I’m afraid you very much dare!” Li Jianbin’s aged eyes sparkled as he spoke earnestly, “Originally, it was you who insisted on breaking up with Ning Yichu to marry Shen Jiangqing. Now that you have two or three children, you want to talk divorce, what kind of behavior is that?”
Though he wasn’t involved in the Li Group day-to-day, he had his informants everywhere, including the lawyer hired to draft the agreement. Nothing was hidden from him.
Li Lingyang leisurely made himself a cup of tea with hot water.
As the steam curled up, he picked up the cup, took a light sip, then said, “I have regrets and want to set things right.”
“Don’t forget, when you divorced five years ago, I warned you to be careful! Now you say you regret it and want to start over as if it’s that easy? I’m warning you, even if it’s wrong, you must continue on this wrong path. Besides, Jiangqing is quite likable and sincerely devoted to you; what more could you ask?”
“If you really have another woman in mind, then keep her on the side; Jiangqing is understanding and won’t fuss about it! Just one thing, both of you need to behave well for me, even if just as a couple in appearance, you must continue with it…”
A trace of deep sarcasm flickered through Li Lingyang’s icy eyes. Ultimately, it was about fearing impacts on the Li Group’s image and negative consequences.
Is he his son, or just an ace under his sleeve in running the group?
“Sorry to disappoint, but I’ve already given Shen Jiangqing the agreement; we need to split because her repeated actions have crossed my line. At the time, marrying her was largely because of the child, and now, the divorce, too, is because of the child.”
Li Jianbin fell silent for a moment, then pulled a stack of photos from an inside pocket of his suit.
“Whether you are breaking up with Shen Jiangqing because of the kids or because of Ning Yichu, you know best. Now, when the Li Group is at a critical period of growth, I absolutely won’t allow you, as the president, to cause successive scandals. If you persist stubbornly, you’ll only destroy Ning Yichu and yourself.”
Li Lingyang looked through the photos, all featuring him, Ning Yichu, and the children.
There were pictures of him leaving Ning Yichu’s room at the resort early in the morning, pictures of him taking the children to see her, and even one taken that afternoon of him helping her pick condiments at the supermarket.
A cold fury immediately burst forth from Li Lingyang – he had no idea the old man had secretly had someone tailing him; it was infuriating!
“I know what you’re thinking now, but be clear, my mom was telling the truth. You are not the only choice as an heir to the Li Group. If you start affecting the group negatively, I’ll have to consider replacing you.” Li Jianbin spoke calmly, his eyes harboring a fierce tenacity shaped by profound experiences.
He thought no man can resist power. Li Lingyang knew how to choose.
But the next second, Li Lingyang nonchalantly picked up one of the photos, “I initially just wanted to separate from Shen Jiangqing, but looking at your photos, Ning Yichu and I seem quite well-matched. Considering how much the kids like her, how about I remarry her? What do you think?”
Li Jianbin trembled with rage, completely unprepared for Li Lingyang’s bold countermove!
“Are you really not afraid I’ll kick you out of the Li Group?”
Li Lingyang, unfazed, sneered, “You’ve never truly handed the Li Group over to me, so how can you kick me out? Take it back whenever you want. Without Li Group, I am still Li Lingyang, but without me, can the Li Group still compete with the Gu Family? That’s questionable.”
Li Family and Gu Family had been archenemies for decades, fighting fiercely in the business world.
It wasn’t until seven years ago, when Li Lingyang became president and drastically reformed the Li Group, that they slowly gained an edge over the Gu Family…
Li Jianbin stood up with a grim expression, “Don’t underestimate the second brother, and don’t overestimate your own importance. One day, you will be ruined by a woman.”
After saying that, Li Jianbin, annoyed, stormed away.
Li Lingyang’s eyes were cold and remote as he watched until the other’s figure had completely disappeared.
It was only after a while that he picked up the photograph on the coffee table again, one of which was exactly the scene where he had deliberately teased her at the cashier counter that afternoon. Her expression was somewhat astonished, and there were hints of coquetry and anger, her cheeks flushed red, and her eyes slightly wide, uniquely adorable.
As his fingertips brushed over her cheek in the photo, Li Lingyang gave a self-mocking smile.
He indeed felt an inexplicable urge towards Ning Yichu…
It was as if upon encountering her, he turned into tinder that could ignite with the smallest spark.
But he truly had never considered remarrying Ning Yichu.

Even if he had wanted to, Ning Yichu wouldn’t have agreed.
Besides, considering Ningning’s and Chen Bao’s relationship, if he pursued Ning Yichu, they would become siblings…
He himself owed Chen Bao a lot, and at this stage, he would certainly consider his feelings.
The old man taking so many photos and coming to warn him was truly unnecessary.
…
Shen Jiangqing was overjoyed, thinking that with Li Jianbin’s intervention, Li Lingyang would show him some respect, even if it was just for the sake of the Li Group’s position, he wouldn’t bring up divorce again.
But what he didn’t expect was to be met with Li Jianbin’s words of “take care of yourself.”
This meant that Li Lingyang was not even listening to Li Jianbin anymore!
He was determined to do away with her…
As Shen Jiangqing looked at the video in her email that she had someone take of her kneeling to Ning Yichu, there was a moment where she thought of releasing it, letting this couple be destroyed in disgrace, but she held back in the end.
She still had a major move up her sleeve that would soon make Li Lingyang disappointed in Ning Yichu, and he would return to her side.
But she couldn’t swallow her frustration.
After searching through the album for a while, trying to find some intimate photos with Li Lingyang to unsettle Ning Yichu, to no avail as she couldn’t find any that were intimate enough, not even a kissing photo…
Finally, she came across a property deed for the Yudu Dragon Bay Villa which had just been transferred to her name.
This villa was the marital home of Li Lingyang and Ning Yichu, and from a certain perspective, it was still of extraordinary significance.
After all, no woman could stand her husband gifting another woman the sweet memories they had shared!
Shen Jiangqing decided to just send the photo of the property deed to Ning Yichu.
At the same time, Ning Yichu had just finished clearing up the dishes, staring at the large bowl of leftover rice, slightly lost in thought.
She didn’t know when it had started, but Li Lingyang, like water seeping through every crevice, had slowly invaded her life.
