My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 443 424

Li Jun Wei came closer toward Mrs. Jin. The woman had lost all hope but her pride self still didn’t diminish as she believed that showing fear to Li Jun Wei would only paint across how she was scared of her nephew which she wouldn’t want to do. Despite her resistance no matter what she tried to fake her courage, it still slipped the moment Li Jun Wei bent his knees, causing his aunt to went back.

“I didn’t say this earlier, auntie. I think I need your help,” Li Jun Wei whispered and Li Lian couldn’t hear it as he had talked in hushed tone that was even lower for only one person to her and it was Mrs. Jin.

Upon hearing the request, Mrs. Jin formed a smile internally, wondering how to put this request to her advantage without knowing the content that was her folly. “I have some option for you to choose. Would you rather self yourself and your husband from serving the sentence in jail in exchange to have Nu Yuan marry to Mr. Huang? Or would you rather took everyone’s sentence and have your family living in peace without getting jailed?”

Mrs. Jin’s eyes widened. Was Li Jun Wei giving her options that she can’t choose at all? Mr. Huang was an old man on his fifties, a man who already had been divorced three times, a great troublemaker that his name was enough to make people in the socialites’s community to frown. Li Jun Wei had given two option that she can’t think of choosing at all.

“You know,” Li Jun Wei started with his voice lowering, “I don’t really hate greedy or selfish person. Only if they have reason but you don’t. You are hungry and it is your eyes that are hungry. When one’s eyes are hungry nothing would be enough for them and no matter how much thing they had took and robbed from others by all mean, it won’t work. It’s because their eyes are the one that’s hungry. People have reason for their greediness but you don’t. You only want the position I have here but you don’t know what it will cost you if you lost. If you knew you would have pulled back.”

“You are insane, do you think I will ever sacrifice my daughter to marry an old man?” Mrs. Jin stared back at Li Jun Wei’s eyes that were as cold as the edge of a blade.

“What do you think?” Li Jun Wei curled his lips, “Or should exchange Nu Yuan’s position with Suzheng? He is a sleazebag but I know plenty of widows who have lost their husbands decades ago, she might find amus.e.m.e.nt in Suzheng’s company and might teach him a few thing on what to do outside marriage and not.”

“You are out of your mind! I won’t do it even if it is to save myself!” Mrs. Jin glowered and said the words as if it was an oath.

“We’ll see,” was Li Jun Wei only answer, “I wonder if your thought won’t change after you sat on that seat in front of the judges on the court. I’m looking forward to it as much as I am looking forward to put your name and all your families’s name and the misdeed they’ve done throughout all media tomorrow. Like what you did to Li Lian. Tomorrow would be your public execution, and I will let you enjoy that suffering of being shunned by everyone closest to you and how it feel to have your darkest sin exposed to others without lending a single finger to help you.”

Mrs. Jin’s face paled over hearing each words that came from Li Jun Wei as the more his words seemed to her mind, she could imagine the future that would come out and there would be her alongside her family in their lowest state, inside the jail and all attention on them were with disgust.

“Enjoy it auntie, I will see you again if I go to Hell,” Li Jun Wei offered the woman one last smile that fell and from the back of her ears, Mrs. Jin could hear the sound of walls crumbling down that represented her life.

Li Jun Wei then walked next to Li Lian, having her catching him by his arm. She pressed her shoulders near him, wanting to ease him out of anger and frustration that he felt. “Let’s go home,” she said, looking at him to see how his smile softened as Li Jun Wei was half satisfied by what he did. He wondered if his auntie would withstand all the punishment that would befall on her or would she take his twisted offer.

“I learned that sometimes it takes only an offer to break a single family apart,” Li Jun Wei said and Li Lian being sensitive could guess that offer must have hold relation to the time he had spoken to Mrs. Jin earlier. Looking back, Li Lian found Mrs. Jin in thought as if she was trying to find a way out or maybe choosing her options to save herself.

“Will they break?” Li Lian questioned his words, seeing his eyes curving down with malice that didn’t make him evil to her eyes but instead charming.

“They will,” Li Jun Wei responded as if he could see the future. He walked toward Linyue, “You can do what you like to Suzheng.”

“No,” Linyue said, she stared down at her ex-husband who was black and blue but she can’t feel the faintest pity. “I have enough. I am sure that you have an idea to punish him.”

“You can expect him coming to you in another few days before the trial and he would one to beg to you,” Li Jun Wei said, gaining Linyue’s interest, “At that time he would say ‘I can’t stand this anymore, please forgive me’ It’s your choice what to do Linyue. If you would accept him.”

“I won’t,” Linyue said sternly, Li Lian saw by far that was the strongest voice Linyue had let out. “About my family,” drawled Linyue then. Her family unlike Li Jun Wei didn’t care about her.

Li Jun Wei tugged faintly one side of his lips’ corner, “I have took care of them. They won’t want their son-in-law like him either, I suggest you to now take breaks and go to vacation. Have a time for yourself. You deserve to be happy, Linyue.”

Linyue could feel her emotions well up into tears on her eyes and Li Lian looking at her can’t help but to feel sympathetic. Waking toward Linyue, she pulled her for a hug which the woman then return. Although a little, Li Lian could hear Linyue’s faint sob, trying not to cry so she would be strong and Li Lian could only hope, “I hope you would fine someone that would love you and give the entire world for you, Linyue.”

“Thank you,” Linyue smiled. Li Lian knew the woman was still young. She was still on her early twenty, just barely passing twenty-seven and her misfortune had gotten her married to Suzheng. “I didn’t want to cry but I guess I’m still weak.”

Li Lian shook her head, “Tears had never been a synonymous to being weak. You get hurt and you cry, that’s the right thing. Cry all your tears away so that when you face the future you’ll forget everything along with the tears you shed. I know some people who you might want to get close with. But I guess it’s too fast?” Li Lian rubbed her cheek rethinking of her words but Linyue shook her head.

“I think I would want to meet them.”
