oxi is, but you have to promise me two things: first, once you know her whereabouts, you must return to your normal self and stop acting like this; secondly, under no circumstances are you allowed to...Chapter Thirty-Two The Future Son-In-Law
When Yan Luoxi heard Sun Zhijun ask this, she became a little nervous and looked at Li An beside her with interest, "Will Sun Liangliang expose you"
"Don't think everyone is as foolish as you!" Li An sneered at Yan Luoxi.
"No good deed goes unpunished!" Yan Luoxi rolled her eyes at him and continued to stare at the large screen.
When faced with her father's stern rebuke, Sun Liangliang could be defiant and noisy. However, when he used a conciliatory approach like this, she couldn't help but soften up, leaning on his embrace and crying out of委屈, sobbing as she recounted her troubles.
"Dad, An Shao already knows that you want to divorce Auntie Xue and marry this woman. He called me last night to tell me he can't accept the idea of a twenty-something-year-old mother-in-law and a baby brother who's just learning to talk. This would make him unable to hold his head up high in their social circle.
His parents have a great relationship, so they wouldn't be happy about their nearly fifty-year-old relative marrying a young girl of twenty-something. Doing this will give the impression that my views on relationships are careless and casual too—I'll inherit your genes—this will affect how his parents view me.
These past two days, An Shao planned to bring me home to meet his parents, but after hearing about what you did yesterday, he… decided to break up with me!"
"What!" Despite being used to all sorts of storms, when Sun Zhijun heard this from his daughter, he was still stunned, panic and helplessness welling up in his eyes.
From the start of Sun Liangliang's relationship with Li An, Sun Zhijun had asked about Li An’s background. When he found out that Li An was the son of Li Haonan, a renowned tycoon in business circles, he was both delighted and alarmed.
If they could become relatives-in-law to the wealthy Li family, Sun Zhijun would be able to walk tall throughout Southeast Asia.
Therefore, he held this future son-in-law in extremely high regard. A single glance from Li An towards him would have him pondering for two days straight, fearing that he might displease Li An.
Now, after hearing from Sun Jingjing about Li An's strong opposition to remarriage, Sun Zhijun began to feel anxious and conflicted.
Xiaotong, who managed to bewitch the experienced Sun Zhijun, naturally had some cunning in her. Seeing Sun Zhijun's expression change dramatically after his daughter spoke, she felt unstable and covered her stomach while crying, "Zhijun, my stomach hurts..."
"Xiaotong, is it serious" Sun Zhijun quickly let go of Sun Jingjing and rushed to Xiaotong, lowering his voice.
"Zhijun, my stomach hurts. Maybe the baby isn't feeling well; we should go to the hospital." Xiaotong meekly threw herself into Sun Zhijun's arms, clutching his waist and sobbing heartbreakingly.
Li An witnessed this scene, turned to look at Yan Luoxi, "Learn from them. For women, tears and tenderness are their weapons. When you need to be weak, you must show your weakness."
Yan Luoxi did not have the detached ease of Li An; she was nervously clenching her fists while staring at the screen. The choice Sun Zhijun made now was crucial and directly affected her mother's future.
Sun Zhijun looked from Xiaotong crying weakly in his arms to his tear-streaked daughter, feeling overwhelmed and helpless.
Sun Jingjing wiped away her tears. A look of resolute determination appeared on her beautiful face that didn't match the situation at hand, "Dad, you know I am a bit proud too; these years I have never felt anything for any man, but when it comes to Young Mr. An, I fell in love with him at first sight. I truly love him."
Yan Luoxi was deeply moved by Sun Jingjing's declaration that sounded like a vow of loyalty. She glanced at Li An who was swinging his legs and smiling calmly.
Tears welled up in Sun Jingjing’s eyes, but she forced them back, making her look incredibly heartrending.
"Dad, I know you've always wanted a son. Now someone has conceived another child for you, even though we can't determine the gender yet, but you finally have a 50% chance to fulfill your wish."
"As your daughter, I cannot be unfilial. I'll make it possible for you; you and she can be together!"
Neither Sun Zhijun nor Xiao Tong expected Sun Liangliang to suddenly change her attitude and were taken aback.
Yan Luoxi was also surprised, looking at Li An. Despite his usual indifferent smile, the depth in his dark eyes seemed unusually profound.
Sun Liangliang looked at Sun Zhijun, suddenly laughing bitterly as if all hope had been lost, "But losing Young Master An means my death; just pretend I never existed!" She held a piece of porcelain and slashed her wrist with it.
"Liangliang!" Sun Zhijun rushed over in alarm. Although his actions were quick, the porcelain still managed to draw a long cut on Sun Liangliang's fair arm. Fresh blood flowed out, shocking everyone present.
Yan Luoxi was frightened and her heart pounded wildly; this woman really would sacrifice everything for Li An.
"Liangliang, you silly girl, how could you be so impulsive!" Sun Zhijun hurriedly tried to wrap a napkin around Sun Liangliang's injured arm.
Sun Liangliang struggled with him, "Let me go! Let me die. You go find Xiao Tong and your son instead!"
Seeing his daughter intent on dying, Sun Zhijun became truly frightened, tears welling up in his eyes, "Liangliang, Dad doesn't want a son anymore; Dad only wants you. Liangliang, don't be angry with Dad anymore... Dad doesn't want a son anymore, go tell Young Master An..."
Tears sparkled in Sun Liangliang's eyes as she tremulously grabbed her father’s hand, "Dad, I knew all along that you still love me the most!
Yan Luoxi stared in disbelief at the sudden turn of events, and then looked at Xiao Tong's pale face with a hint of guilt.
Xiao Tong was quite懂事. Seeing Sun Zhijun promise to take care of Sun Liangliang, she didn't follow her sister’s example by causing a scene but sat quietly on the side, smiling sadly. The look in Sun Zhijun's eyes when he glanced at her was filled with remorse.
Li An took a deep breath and a hint of mockery appeared at the corners of his mouth. "This woman is quite something!"
"What do you mean" Yan Luoxi asked curiously.
"She can act like a lady, a shrew, a delicate wife, or a mistress when needed. She's adaptable and has potential," Li An praised her while turning off the surveillance monitor.
Yan Luoxi ignored Li An’s unconventional way of complimenting and asked him doubtfully, "Does this mean that Sun Zhijun won't divorce my mom"
"Don’t worry. Your mother will soon receive his apology call," Li An said confidently.
"He's not a bad dad; he still loves his daughter very much," Yan Luoxi couldn't help but feel envious of Sun Liangliang.
"Idiot, do you think he only cares about his daughter’s happiness!" Li An sneered while packing up his things.
"Then why does he"
"For the sake of Li Family's wealth and power," Li An smiled lazily. "Only a fool like you doesn't put the Li family first." His tone was filled with endless disappointment.with her once, yet she threw herself at the young master of the Li family. Now she had been dumped.Lulu usually hogged all the attention from her sisters and acted aloof and high-minded. Recently, she...
