Chapter 75 - In The Future You Will Suffer A Thousand Times!

When Wang Hualing perceived the true meaning behind Li Guang words, she realized he intended to break her apart from the Li family — she was not willing to let that happen. If her path to the Li family was cut down, how would she be able to pave her way to Li Luxian heart in the future?

But she could not comply with his word either!

How could she, the revered Miss of the great Wang family, lower herself in front of that Chen Yi? That wench was not even worth the dirt on her shoe. 

How could Wang Hualing tolerate admitting defeat in front of that wench?

"You guys can not bully me like this. I-I will bring this matter to Elder Li." Finding no other way out of the situation, Wang Hualing used Elder Li's name to force them to take a stand back.

Li Guang's face darkened. "What would you bring in front of him?" 

Wang Hualing was shocked when instead of relenting, Li Guang confronted her. In the past whenever she had brought Elder Li's name in the conversation, Li Guang would yield to whatever request she would have.

"Would you say that Chen Yi hit you? Don't forget that the day father was here, you had raised a hand over her. Besides, both I and Li Luxian can bear witness that Chen Yi never raised a hand on you. Who would he believe in? You or his own family?" Li Guang stong and cool voice flowed. "So," He said, a side of his lip curling up in mockery. "Go ahead and seek Father help. We would like to see who gets punished in the end."

It was time for Wang Hualing to end her tantrum. Either she apologizes to Chen Yi or she loses her way to the 'Li' family.

Wang Huailing heart wrenched in anger, agony, and lastly helplessness. She was not yet ready to give up on Li Luxian. Tearing her gaze from Li Guang, she faced a silently smiling Chen Yi. "Yi Jie, for my misbehavior, I apologize." It was akin to swallow burning acid for Wang Hualing to say those words. Especially while facing that serene smile that seemed to mock her in silence.

However, her eyes flickered with trickery. She was certain that Chen Yi won't settle with a simple apology. She would ask Li Guang to properly punish her.

Wasn't that why she had asked her if Wang Hualing would go by the punishment if proven guilty?

Once Chen Yi did that, Wang Hualing would no longer look like a villain for asking Chen Yi to be punished.

After all, in the end, Chen Yi did the same. What would be the difference between them?

After how Wang Hualing insulted Chen Yi, she was certain that Chen Yi would not let go of this golden opportunity to make Wang Hualing suffer. 

The punishment in the 'Li' family rules was especially severe. Once being tortured like this, no matter what, Wang Hualing would appear pitiful. With that, she would be able to create a soft spot for herself in Li Guang and Li Luxian heart.

Chen Yi smiled disappeared: "It doesn't matter." The words that she said, made Wang Hualing look up in shock.

"Ling Jie is the cherished daughter of the Wang family. Our family has several years of alliance with your clan. How can I force Ling Jie to suffer? I just...only didn't want to be implicated and so I was harsh earlier to let the truth out. I hope, for that, Ling Jie can forgive me."

Li Guang gazed at Chen Yi with a different light in his eyes. This woman was really — either she was really a kind soul at her heart or — she was a truly scheming person. Li Guang was inclined to believe the former.

Besides, even if she was clever and used schemes, it was not a quality Li Guang would look down upon. In fact, to be clever enough to effectively counter her enemies, that was an important attribute she must possess in order to stand by Li Luxian's side in the future. Just as long as she intended no harm to his son or the Li family, Li Guang had no qualms.

Wang Hualing noticed the way Li Guang expressions changed. Her real motive today as to sully Chen Yi's reputation in front of the 'Li' family. But she ended up producing the exact opposite results — she ended up making Chen Yi their favorite.

Now that Chen Yi said she didn't intend to enact any revenge on Wang Hualing, the one who looked petty was Wang Hualing. Under extreme embarrassment and helplessness, Wang Hualing stared at Chen Yi with her nails digging into the flesh of her palms.

She even had to force herself to smile at her arch-enemy: "Yi Jie, then...I hope to have friendly encounters with you in the future."

Wang Hualing's words were a warning. She meant by acting magnanimous and kindhearted and forgiving Wang Hualing, Chen Yi might have won her a place in Li Guang heart. But at the same, she had opened a pathway to the 'Li' family for Wang Hualing in the future.

She could not stop Wag Hualing from approaching them in the future.

At her words, Chen Yi merely smiled. "I look forward to this." Turning around she leaned in towards Li Luxian and whispered into his ears. "Let's leave, hubby."

Her voice was silent as if intended to be kept private. But in truth, it was loud enough for Wang Hualing to hear.

"Sure!" Li Luxian smiled warmly towards his wife. 

After this, Chen Yi glanced at Wang Hualing with a steady smile.

That as Chen Yi's answer. 'Even if Wang Hualing managed to open up her path to the Li family, Chen Yi was not scared. Because Li Luxian belonged to her already.'

When Wang Hualing witnessed their affectionate interaction, her breathing hitched a bit.

"I should also bid my farewell then," Saying those words, Wang Hualing hurried to leave the premises. Only once she was at a sufficient distance, did she let her tears fall. "Chen Yi, Chen Yi!" She breathed. Her bloodshot eyes accumulated immerse hatred for that low class, trash. "I will have you pay for this! In the future, you will suffer a thousand times more than this."
