My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1311: Chapter 1140: Family

”Yichen, you actually don’t know. There were indeed many hurdles between your uncle and aunt in the past. Back then, your aunt had countless arguments with her father to be with your uncle. Because of our complex relationship at the time and the special circumstances we were in, those changes happened over and over again. I remember one time your aunt argued with her father about something else, and it was a fierce dispute. Her father loved her so much, but in the end, he still made that decision. He almost gave up the contract, but kept on with everything he did was for the family’s happiness, merely for a bit of peacefulness deep down within him, but he too had paid a lot.”

At that moment...

Li Jiayuan and Li Haixiao were arguing so much that Jiayuan almost fainted. Li Haixiao was terrified. At this moment he remembered how the doctor had repeatedly warned them upon Jiayuan’s discharge that she must not be stimulated, otherwise, the baby might be lost.

Li Haixiao was very scared upon realizing this. He didn’t deliberately intend to argue with Jiayuan; he just wanted that piece of land, so why did things evolve into such a situation?

”Dad, could you stop insisting on that piece of land, please?” Li Jiayuan clutched Li Haixiao’s hand and said to him with difficulty.

How could Li Haixiao continue wanting that piece of land? His grandson was almost lost, what could he do with that piece of land?

”Alright, alright, whatever you say, Dad won’t fight for that piece of land anymore. Jiayuan, are you okay?” Li Haixiao looked at Jiayuan with overwhelming worry, asking concernedly.

Jiayuan genuinely felt a bit of pain in her abdomen, but once her emotions calmed down, the sensation disappeared, though her belly still felt slightly uncomfortable.

Jiayuan was about to speak, but before she could, Xiao Wei came downstairs. He had been waiting upstairs for quite some time but didn’t see Jiayuan coming up, so eventually, he decided to come down and check. Who would have thought that upon coming down, Jiayuan was sitting paralyzed on the floor, with Li Haixiao half-squatting beside her. Xiao Wei was anxious, and he hurriedly rushed towards Jiayuan, thinking, this is his first child, nothing must go wrong!

”Jiayuan, what’s the matter? Why are you sitting on the floor? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Xiao Wei asked anxiously, fearing that Jiayuan might be ill.

”It’s fine, Xiao Wei, let’s go upstairs!” Jiayuan’s face looked pale, prompting a strong impulse in others to care for her.

”Alright, let’s go upstairs!” With that, Xiao Wei picked Jiayuan up in his arms like a princess.

Li Haixiao still wanted to say something, but remembering how he nearly killed a child with his own hands, he didn’t know what to say anymore. He could only watch Xiao Wei carry Jiayuan upstairs.

Watching Jiayuan and Xiao Wei go upstairs, Li Haixiao couldn’t help but start reflecting on himself. He wondered when he had become so greedy and obsessed with benefits, even to the point of harming his own daughter.

At that time, when Xiao Wei saw Jiayuan sitting on the ground with Li Haixiao squatting beside her, he wanted to lash out at Li Haixiao. But remembering that Li Haixiao had undergone surgery and that squatting standing freely was not easy for him, it was understandable, hence Xiao Wei said nothing. But when Jiayuan and Xiao Wei brought up this matter, Xiao Wei lost his temper.

”Xiao Wei, you know, I was almost scared to death at that time. My belly was hurting terribly, but once my emotions settled a bit, it didn’t feel like that anymore. Didn’t you notice that despite all that I said, my dad refused to give up on that piece of land, yet when I was about to faint, he immediately agreed? Turns out, I’m still the most important thing in my father’s heart...” Jiayuan said delightedly to Xiao Wei, but she never knew the storm was coming so suddenly.

Xiao Wei’s face changed drastically upon hearing Jiayuan’s words: ”Li Jiayuan, is this how you act as a mom? That’s your child; how can you use the child? Also, when I saw your dad squatting beside you, not picking you up, you still feel happy?”

Jiayuan felt upset when she heard Xiao Wei suddenly getting mad at her. At first, she wanted to suck it up, but now she suddenly felt, it’s not her fault, so why should she swallow her anger? Thus, she and Xiao Wei had another fierce argument.

”No, Xiao Wei, what do you mean, using the child? I wasn’t pretending at that time. Moreover, you know Dad had surgery and can’t squat or stand easily, still recovering, how could he possibly pick anyone up?” Jiayuan thought it was truly funny. Xiao Wei was there when Li Haixiao had surgery, so how could he say such things?

”Li Jiayuan, maybe you got it wrong. You’ve also undergone surgery, donated a kidney to your dad, and now you’re pregnant too. How come he didn’t think about you? Let me tell you, in your dad’s eyes, only that contract matters. I originally wanted to ask Elder Sister Xia to persuade her husband to let your dad have that piece of land, but now it seems unnecessary. Because doing so is redundant—your dad is ruthless in his decisions, why can’t I be? That piece of land is a memorial collaborative project Elder Sister Xia gave me; I won’t give it to anyone!” Xiao Wei said, furious and without a filter.

Jiayuan thought Xiao Wei was silly. She always believed that piece of land was a gift from Xia Jing for both her and Xiao Wei. But when she saw the text there clearly, she realized it was all just an illusion, but that was a side story!

”Xiao Wei, let me tell you, the West City project contract was a wedding gift from Xia Jing to us, and I have half the shares in it. Don’t dream of taking it all for yourself!” Jiayuan screamed angrily at Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei was stunned hearing Jiayuan’s words. What did that mean? Does Jiayuan actually want that piece of land in her heart all along, and is also trying to take away the shares in his hands?

Xiao Wei dared not keep thinking further. He suddenly felt he didn’t understand Jiayuan at all; what kind of woman was she?

”Ha! Li Jiayuan, since you’ve said so, I won’t be polite with you anymore. Let me be honest, the half share you always assumed is actually not yours. The name on it is mine alone, not yours, Li Jiayuan. So that project is my private property, unrelated to you, and even more unrelated to your dad. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Xiao Wei sneered coldly, taking Jiayuan by surprise. She didn’t understand, wasn’t it a wedding gift Xia Jing gave them? How did it become Xiao Wei’s private property?

”Xiao Wei, are you lying to me? How can this piece of land be your private property? I clearly remember this land was ours together...” Jiayuan just couldn’t accept this fact, why did it turn out like this?

”Now that it’s come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore. You know why this happened? Elder Sister Xia and her husband did this to prevent you from someday being unable to control your inner desires. I didn’t believe what Elder Sister Xia and her husband said at the time. It never occurred to me that you—Li Jiayuan—would actually act this way. When your dad asked you, I chose to say nothing just to see what you’d do. But unexpectedly, you skipped over me and called Elder Sister Xia directly. Thinking back on what you did, I feel really disappointed. Li Jiayuan, not to mention anything else, we are already husband and wife. Is this how you treat your husband? Do you think I know nothing about what you did? I just chose to remain silent because I believed you’d talk to me about it, but I’ve waited and waited, yet you never approached me.”

”So, you knew everything, Xiao Wei, will you take that piece of land out? I promise my dad won’t treat you unfairly!” Jiayuan’s target remained focused on that piece of land.

Xiao Wei sneered, shaking his head, he said to Jiayuan, ”Do you think that’s possible? Even my child can be harmed by you, so why should I give you land worth millions? Oh, and one more thing, if you are truly unwilling to stay with me, please tell me rather than thinking of other ways to harm my child. Honestly, I feel really disappointed with the things you’ve done today.”

After saying that, Xiao Wei slammed the door shut, leaving Jiayuan alone in the bedroom.

Jiayuan felt things were getting increasingly troubling. How did they reach such an irreconcilable point?

”None of us could foresee that things would become so tangled and uncontrollable, nobody knew everything would end up like this. No one even thought this was what they wanted the most for each other, but it has hurt one another so deeply...”
