Chapter 172: There is something you need to know.

Madam Bao couldn't understand that son of hers. On one side, he appeared to be overly head over heels Jing Lihua, and on the other side, he so easily let her leave with some other man?

Madam Bao would have no objections if he had kidnapped her, brought her to Hong Kong, and locked her up in his bedroom...

After all, with the Li family powerful, it was an easily accomplishable feat.

But this...?

This was unacceptable!

What if Jing Lihua ended up having a change of heart? After all, before her son, she had feelings for that Su Liwei. 

Li Xun had been tortured thoroughly to reveal everything to Madam Bao. Not a single detail was spared. Now, she knew everything.

That made her even more worried.

Could her dense son not even know that?!

Madam Bao couldn't really understand that son of hers. If he really loved her so much, why would he let her leave?

"She is a free person. I can't force her to do things in my way." Li Zhiqiang silently answered.

Was he not upset? He was.

For the last few nights, he had been unable to fall asleep. 

But his JingJing... She was an untamed spirit. If he wanted to restrain her, he would only hurt her. And hurting her in any way was what he could not imagine.

Hearing her son's response, Madam Bao glowered at him. "You...!"

"Mother!" Li Xun interjected. "How about this? I have a plan..."

"What is it?" Madam Bao rubbed her temple in pain.

This son of hers, she was so helpless with him!

How could she sit quietly and see the only medicine for his impotency to slip out of their hands?

Li Xun gulped silently. Thankfully he was here to save the day. Or otherwise, knowing both his mother and eldest son, a gigantic storm would brew anytime!

"Let's make an arrangement. How about this brother goes and gets back sister-in-law?"

Madam Bao suddenly looked up, interested in whatever her younger son had to say.

...

Divorce...

The word had sobered him up enough.

When Jing Lihua had said those words, her eyes were resolute. Not even a flicker of hesitation appeared in those clear and limpid eyes.

Looking at her expressions, Su Liwei's mind was clearer than it had been during the last whole month.

"I will have my secretary send you the papers after going back." Jing Lihua walked to the couch and picked up her blazer not minding the aftereffect of her words on him at all.

She intended to leave the room but was stopped by a silent question.

"Why?"

Just one word. Yet it appeared, to ask a myriad of questions.

"You ask

why..." Jing Lihua sneered in her heart.

Looking at the situation right now, things hadn't turned out like they were in her past life.

In her past life, Su Liwei had been very aggressive. He attacked her company and brought down her downfall in less than two years. Not only that, but he was also very cold towards her whenever she tried to approach him.

Also in her past life, she had been willing servile towards him, voluntarily lowering herself to please that man.

But what outcome was that?

Could that change his heart?

No.

However, in this life, Su Liwei had been very passive. He had displayed a completely different attitude from her previous life.

What was his intention behind it?

Maybe it was that he was wishing that she would give him a chance. 

Why else would he ask this question 'Why?' when she proposed separating from him...

But... what had actually caused this difference in him from her previous life? 

Was it because she hadn't bowed before him? Was it because the had shown sharp acumen while handling different affairs? After all the Su Liwei she knew was not a shallow person. He was more into a woman's personality than her appearance. It was very likely that her change had caused him to be moved.

But...

So what if he was moved by her...

So what if he had wanted to change the way the things were and repair their relationship...

Maybe it would have mattered to the naive Jing Lihua of her previous life but to this cold Jing Lihua who had Li Zhiqiang by her side, why would it matter?

After all, that he had done to her in her previous life, it didn't matter to her.

But about that 'Why', it seemed to ask a question that if 'he hadn't done anything to harm her, why would she still leave him?'

It had the air like he was being wronged here...

So Jing Lihua couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

"Why don't you ask this question from yourself. 'Why?' Why have you changed from the way you treated me? Why do you even ask this question?"

Su Liwei's gaze was complicated. It was as if he wanted to understand the woman before him but he couldn't. Being unable to decipher the woman before him, he could only tighten his hands. "I tried all I could." He said.

Hearing his words, Jing Liha couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "You tried all you could..." She couldn't believe he would say that. Someone as cold and unfeeling would actually care to give an excuse...

Was he really so desperate?

"Let me ask you, Su Liwei, did you really do all that you could?" Maybe Su Liwei tried to protect her in the end after deciding to save up their relationship. Maybe he gave up his position as the Su enterprise President to s

top from going against her. 

But looking at Li Zhiqiang who had stood up against everyone for her sake...

Who had been waiting for her for six years... Despite his important place, he hadn't engaged in a relationship with another woman. This long period of six years was enough to prove his sincerity. In comparison to him, Su Liwei's so-called sacrifice seemed to pale.

Hearing Jing Lihua's words, Su Liwei fell into silence.

"There is a reason you need to know." He suddenly appeared to reach a conclusion. Once he looked up, there was a particular vulnerability in his eyes. However, it was soon replaced by the light of resolve.
