Chapter 488: Chapter 488

Wu Mengyi finally relaxed a little upon seeing her husband was okay. Late at night, the family went back home, and after getting him settled in the bedroom, Wu Mengyi turned around and gave her son a cold glance, "Come with me."

She threw down those words and walked out of the bedroom.

Ye Qian followed her husband out; she didn’t dare stay in the living room and went straight back to her bedroom. In the study, Wu Mengyi noticed her son still carried the smell of alcohol on him when he walked in, furrowing her brow even more deeply.

"Speak up, what happened?"

"It’s nothing." Liu Zhiyuan replied indifferently.

Wu Mengyi stared at her son for quite a while, and when he said nothing further, she stood up from the chair, "Fine, I can’t manage you. From now on, your father and I won’t interfere. You figure it out yourself."

Without saying another word, Wu Mengyi returned to the bedroom.

Liu Zhiyuan sat alone in the study until his whole body felt stiff; only then did he get up and go back to the bedroom. Ye Qian, though tired, forced herself to sit up and speak to him, "You’re back? It’s been a long night, let’s sleep."

It was already late when Liu Zhiyuan came back. After his father caused a stir at the hospital, it was past two in the morning now. Ye Qian had just miscarried a few days ago, and she couldn’t take it anymore.

But just as she lay back in bed, she was pulled up by a brute force. Ye Qian hadn’t yet figured out what was happening when her chin was gripped so hard that she cried out in pain, looking up to meet Liu Zhiyuan’s hate-filled gaze, swallowing the words she was about to say in fear.

Liu Zhiyuan was half on the bed, standing at the bedside, bending over and gripping Ye Qian’s chin fiercely, staring at her face without uttering a word. Ye Qian tensed her body, remaining silent, until the force on her chin disappeared. She instinctively scooted herself backward.

"What are you doing?" Last time she was suddenly slapped, seeing him again, Ye Qian dared not move, fearing she would be hit once more.

Liu Zhiyuan saw her scared expression and sneered, "Scared now? Isn’t your courage quite immense?"

Immense enough to have feelings for your brother-in-law.

To do such shameless things and even lose her own flesh and blood, how hard-hearted must one be to achieve that? Liu Zhiyuan mocked Ye Qian’s panicked expression, only feeling somewhat satisfied in his heart.

Within Ye Qian’s worries, Liu Zhiyuan did nothing further, pulling a quilt and heading to the living room instead. Ye Qian was relieved, assuming Liu Zhiyuan was venting frustration because he got scolded by his father.

Nothing happened overnight. The next morning Wu Mengyi saw her son sleeping in the living room and didn’t ask further, just accompanied her husband to the army after breakfast. Ye Qian also didn’t dare to stay a moment longer, took her things, and went to the army as well. Liu Zhiyuan only got up by noon, didn’t go to work but continued drinking outside.

He didn’t go to work, and naturally, Liu Wujiang knew about it but never asked. Thus passed six or seven days, and drinking while messing around with different women finally caught the attention of the Liu Family.

Liu Wujiang had a grim expression, without calling his son to the study, "Tell me, is this true or false?"

"I drank too much; I knew nothing in the middle of the night. The next morning, I woke up at that woman’s house. I don’t even know her. Besides, nothing happened; that woman obviously wants to cling to me." Liu Zhiyuan was completely unbothered.

Seeing his son act , Liu Wujiang was furious, almost wanting to slap him twice, suppressing his anger forcefully, "Then tell me what to do now?"

Meanwhile, Wu Mengyi comforted Ye Qian, "You heard it too, Zhiyuan said nothing happened."

Ye Qian nodded numbly. For the first few days, Liu Zhiyuan returned home drunk, then stopped coming home at all. Ye Qian felt fortunate; otherwise, she was truly afraid Liu Zhiyuan might cause trouble again if drunk, not to mention that even when home, he slept in the living room. Her mother-in-law never mentioned it directly but often had private talks questioning if she argued with Liu Zhiyuan, while advising her to be a good wife.

That Liu Zhiyuan didn’t live at home, from any perspective, provided relief to Ye Qian. However, she never expected this kind of incident.

Liu Zhiyuan shrugged at his father’s question, "You see, I don’t even go to the company, just stay home drinking, and people still target me. Who knows what might happen when I return to work? I think I should quit right away, so they can stop watching me." Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Liu Zhiyuan’s words left the room quiet, Liu Wujiang stared at his son in disbelief, "You’ve been planning this all along, so you’ve been messing around these days?"

"Zhiyuan, I’m telling you, forget about that thought." On this side, Wu Mengyi also lost her temper.

Liu Zhiyuan seemed like he had nothing to lose, "With me , if something similar happens again at work, they’ll kick me out anyway. Might as well resign now."

Though spoken lightly, the threat behind those words was obvious. Liu Wujiang, wanting to scold his son further, could not, only looking disappointedly at him before leaving for the study, saying nothing more.

Wu Mengyi’s eyes reddened, "We raised you , and this is how you repay us? Are you worthy of us?"

Saying this, Wu Mengyi covered her mouth and returned to the bedroom. In the empty living room, only Liu Zhiyuan and Ye Qian remained. Ye Qian went from angry upon hearing Liu Zhiyuan’s misconduct to shocked now, staring in disbelief at her husband across the room.

"Well? So you’re starting to despise me now? If you dislike it, just say so early. With no kids, divorcing would be easy." Liu Zhiyuan mocked Ye Qian with a glance and went to the bedroom.

Ye Qian sat numbly in the living room, unable to believe her marriage turned out this way, wondering why her husband became . At work, who wouldn’t envy that she married well and found a gentle man? But who would’ve thought things would turn out ?

Especially after she miscarried, her husband’s words became laced with sarcasm, making dumb pretending impossible. Did she really do wrong? Is losing one child enough for her husband to drift away?

When Bai Xue arrived at the Liu family’s house, she was visibly angry, "Word’s out everywhere, Zhiyuan’s seeing other women, is it true? I’m telling you, don’t be soft here, even if our family isn’t great, we can’t swallow this. You two just married; the future’s long. Think about how to live going forward."
