Whether in the entertainment industry or in the Ren family, Yu Li was not well-liked, except by Ren's grandfather who found her somewhat pleasing to the eye, but only because he wanted her to produce a great-grandchild quickly.
The speed of the car was not very fast, and the scenery outside the window flashed by, but Yu Li was secretly scheming.
"Could it be that Ren Jingchen suddenly decided not to divorce because of his grandfather?"
"No, I have to think of a way to convince his grandfather to agree to the divorce and break up with this scumbag as soon as possible."
"Oh? I wonder if the mother-in-law who doesn't like me is here. If she is, then it will be easy."
Ren Jingchen listened to the strange voice in his head all the way, occasionally glancing at Yu Li, and could almost determine that he was able to hear her thoughts because of a head injury from a car accident.This was a bit scary, but Ren Jingchen still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Being able to hear Yu Li's thoughts was not necessarily a bad thing, at least he could know when she was planning something vicious! It was good to be able to be on guard in advance.
The black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of a mansion, and Yu Li got out of the car and was about to push Ren Jingchen inside, but he ignored her and directly instructed the driver.
"What's wrong with this scumbag? Could it be that time of the month?"
Ren Jingchen's hand on the wheelchair tightened slightly, and if one looked closely, they would notice that his fingertips were turning white from the force.
"The young master is back," the servant opened the door and saw Ren Jingchen, happily going upstairs to tell Mr. Ren.
Yu Li had just changed his shoes at the entrance and hadn't had time to enter the living room when he heard a surprised voice, "Jingchen brother, you're here?"
The woman was dressed in a simple black gauze dress, with long black wavy hair scattered behind her, her features exceptionally delicate, and her face full of joy, especially the shyness mixed in her black eyes when she looked at Ren Jingchen.
Lin Jinxiu had just come down the spiral staircase with a smile on her face when she saw Ren Jingchen. Her smile froze for a moment when her gaze met Yu Li's, "Yu Li sister is here too."
Ren Jingchen's handsome face softened a bit when he looked at Lin Jinxiu, "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back from abroad this time? I could have sent someone to pick you up."
"I heard from Grandpa Ren that you were in the hospital, so I thought since school was about to be on break, I might as well take a leave of absence and come back early. How's your health now?" Lin Jinxiu asked with concern."Hmph, what a lame excuse. She just came back to see her scumbag boyfriend," Ren Jingchen thought to himself, coldly snorting. The Lin family and the Ren family had always had a good relationship, and Lin Jinxiu had grown up with her grandfather. He only saw her as a younger sister! Besides, Lin Jinxiu had a fiancé, and she must have come back because she was worried about him, her brother. "It's nothing, where's Grandpa?"
"I heard from Grandpa that you didn't rest well last night. If there's nothing urgent, let's wait until Grandpa wakes up," Lin Jinxiu said as she pushed Ren Jingchen to the sofa. She noticed Yu Li standing behind her from the corner of her eye, and her smile widened. "Yu Li, I brought you a gift from England this time. Do you like it?"
As she spoke, Lin Jinxiu took out an exquisite velvet box from her bag and handed it to Yu Li, gesturing for her to open it.
"Thank you, Jinxiu," Yu Li said, looking pleasantly surprised. However, she did not open the box and instead handed it to Ren Jingchen."Honey, I accidentally hurt my hand while cooking this morning. Could you help me open it?"
'If I open the box and accidentally drop the contents, you'll blame me for not liking the gift and deepen your bad impression of me as a scumbag.'
'You shameless woman! You're so calculating! Hmph, your little tricks won't fool me.'
Ren Jingchen looked at Yu Li's delighted expression, his eyes tinged with anger. He had grown up with Lin Jinxiu and knew that she couldn't be the person Yu Li was thinking of. Was this woman suffering from some kind of delusion?
With a snap, the box opened, and the object inside fell to the ground.
It was a very delicate antique brooch, worth a lot of money.
Ren Jingchen stared at the broken brooch on the ground in a daze. It fell??"Oh, honey, you're so careless!" Yu Li squatted down on the ground, holding the broken brooch in her hands and blaming Ren Jingchen incessantly. "It's all your fault. You ruined Jinxiu's gift to me. You owe me."
"The Scapegoat" Ren Jingchen: "..."
Since Yu Li asked Ren Jingchen to open the box, Lin Jinxiu's face had started to look strange, but she didn't say anything. Listening to Yu Li's words, her eyes twitched slightly. "It's okay. Jingchen didn't mean to do it. I can buy another one for Sister Yu Li."
"How can that be? The one who broke my gift was Jingchen, not you. So he should be the one to compensate me," Yu Li said, holding Lin Jinxiu's arm intimately and sitting on the sofa. Her charming eyes stared at Ren Jingchen, looking like she was acting cute.
"Haha, I hit the jackpot. This brooch is not cheap. I'm so happy," Ren Jingchen thought to himself.
Suddenly, he realized that all the knowledge he had learned over the years was not enough to describe his current mood, which was a mixture of frustration and depression.Just now, everything that Yu Li said was spot on. How could Jinxiu be this kind of person? Has he been wrong about people for over twenty years?
In the living room, the three of them had their own thoughts as they listened to the soft cough from upstairs. Lin Jinxiu was the first to stand up and went to help Grandpa Ren sit down.
"Grandpa, you just fell asleep not long ago when Jingchen and Yu Li came. I didn't let them disturb you," Lin Jinxiu said obediently.
Grandpa Ren looked at Lin Jinxiu with a loving expression. "Good child, you're the only one who knows how to be sensible."
"Grandpa," Ren Jingchen pushed aside his thoughts and called out.
Yu Li followed suit and called out "Grandpa" in the same manner.When Grandpa Ren's gaze fell on the two of them, his previously pleasant expression suddenly became stiff, and he snorted lightly. "I don't have any useless grandsons like the two of you. Since you got married, all you do is nag me about getting a divorce. This time, you even got into a car accident because of a fight and it made headlines! Aren't you ashamed? You're really a pair of enemies!"
Lin Jinxiu's eyes darkened at his words. "Grandpa, don't be angry. Jingchen is usually very steady. I think there must be some misunderstanding this time."
"Phew! Shameless! So it's all my fault that Ren Jingchen is steady and I'm the one causing trouble? How can your mind be so deep, deliberately smearing me to make Grandpa agree to our divorce, so you can take advantage of it!"
As expected, Grandpa Ren focused his attention on Yu Li and spoke in a calm tone. "Yu Li, our Ren family doesn't need the money you earn in the entertainment industry! Stop embarrassing yourself outside and hurry up and have a child.That's what's important."
"Huh? That's ridiculous! If the Ren family is so wealthy, why did Ren Jingchen only give me 30 million in the divorce agreement he gave me last night? I can get that much just by filming a drama! Who does he think he's fooling?"
Yu Li restrained her expression, lowered her head with slightly reddened eyes, and her voice choked as she spoke, "Grandfather scolded me, but it was because Jingchen met with Yumo privately. I was angry and argued with him."
Yu Li knew that Ren Jingchen's weakness was Yumo. Whenever her name was mentioned, Ren Jingchen would argue with her. Now, in front of Grandfather, she could finally bring up the divorce.
"Ren Jingchen! If you were a real man, you would unilaterally file for divorce and we could each go our separate ways."
"..." Ren Jingchen was truly impressed with his own ability to endure. He heard every word of Yu Li's inner thoughts, but he tried his best to control his facial muscles and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandfather, I won't argue with her anymore."
"Huh? Wait, something's not right. Why isn't he following the script?"
Yu Li blinked her eyes, secretly wondering if something had gone wrong. When did Ren Jingchen become so easy to talk to?
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Grandfather Ren thought it was best not to bring up the past anymore. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good."
"Hey hey hey? We're going off script now? No, we have to make Grandfather bring up the divorce."
Yu Li suddenly took a deep breath, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "Grandfather, actually, there's something important I haven't told you yet. Jingchen was injured in the car accident and he's beyond saving."
