"Su Qi is preparing to divorce Huo Tingyun. None of you should stop her. She's ready to escape her suffering. The mess was made by you, and I've repaid it for you. Don't blame Su Qi anymore!" Li Cuiping almost fainted.
Fortunately, Uncle Yang supported Li Cuiping, preventing her from falling.
"Su Yan! Do you know what you're saying? If Su Qi divorces Huo Tingyun, we'll lose the Huo family's support. It will be difficult to even treat your legs then!"
Over the years, the Su family had prospered thanks to the Huo family.
Without the Huo family's sponsorship, the Su family would be nothing!
Not to mention that they still had to bear the costs of caregivers and chemotherapy every month.
Just treating Su Yan alone cost hundreds of thousands every month!
Furthermore, the company's operations also required a large sum of money for turnover.
"I will not allow Su Qi to divorce Huo Tingyun!"
Li Cuiping gritted her teeth, determined not to agree to the divorce.
No matter how willful Su Yan was, she would not allow this child to cause trouble here!
"Su Qi must divorce. This is not something you or I can decide. She has already sacrificed a lot for the Su family this year! The Su family has received so much money from the Huo family that it's enough for you and your father to live comfortably in your old age!"
Su Yan's emotions were very unstable.
"Brother Su Yan, please stop talking. I'll help you to bed to rest!"
Su Qi interrupted their conversation and was about to push the wheelchair.
"Su Qi! You come out with me!"
Li Cuiping lost her composure, grabbed Su Qi, and dragged her outside.
Walking out of the hall in one breath, Li Cuiping finally let go and roughly pushed Su Qi to the ground.
Su Qi almost fell, but managed to steady herself. "Mom..."
"Don't call me Mom! I told you last time to behave yourself. I didn't expect you to placate me and actively seek out Su Yan. Do you know what you're doing!"
"Mom, please calm down. The divorce was proposed by the Huo family. I had no way to refuse. The Huo family is a powerful and influential family in Shencheng. If they want to force me to divorce, they have plenty of ways. At worst, they could claim I'm a widow. If I don't agree, there's no other way..."
Su Qi sighed, looking wronged.
Li Cuiping's eyes widened with anger, "Can't you think of a way? Are you just going to be led by the nose by the Huo family?"
"If you have a way, that would be best. But I am foolish and truly have no solution. The Huo family insists on a divorce no matter what..."
Su Qi spoke meekly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
Seeing Su Qi's timid demeanor, Li Cuiping's anger flared.
"With your personality, no wonder Huo Tingyun abandoned you. You've been married to Huo Tingyun for so long, and there's no news from your belly?!"
Li Cuiping grabbed Su Qi's hand and pressed her.
Su Qi shook her head, "No. Huo Tingyun always makes me take medicine, so there's no news."
"You're an idiot! If you were pregnant, you could secure your position as the Huo family's young madam!"
Li Cuiping poked Su Qi's head with her finger.
What a blockhead, taking medicine just because Huo Tingyun told her to?!
She really had no brains!
It seemed she had to step in herself!
Su Qi left the Su family and let out a long sigh.
Since Li Cuiping was willing, she would let Li Cuiping contend with the Huo family.
However, she suspected it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an act of overestimation.
It was just that Su Qi hadn't expected Li Cuiping to go directly to Xu Lin Yun.
When Su Qi received Xu Lin Yun's call, she felt a sense of unease.
To her surprise, as soon as she answered, Xu Lin Yun was crying on the other end, "Su Qi, hurry over!"
Su Qi rushed to the Xu family's home. At the entrance, she saw Xu Lin Chuan smoking under the eaves.
Seeing Su Qi arrive, Xu Lin Chuan extinguished his cigarette butt and walked over, "You're here. That auntie is..."
"She's my adoptive mother."
With no time to explain to Xu Lin Chuan, Su Qi strode into the Xu family home.
In the Xu family's living room, Li Cuiping sat on the sofa, her legs crossed.
"You are Xu Lin Yun, right? The mistress Huo Tingyun has, the homewrecker who destroyed our Su Qi's relationship with Huo Tingyun?"
"You... what nonsense are you spouting!"
Xu Lin Yun trembled with anger, her face as pale as paper.
Xu Ru Yun hadn't returned. When Li Cuiping arrived, she was the only one at home. Fortunately, Xu Lin Chuan had just returned, otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to face such a scoundrel!
"Auntie, please calm down and don't speak so outrageously!"
Xu Lin Chuan frowned, took a few steps forward, and shielded Xu Lin Yun behind him.
"You go upstairs first. I'll handle her."
"Mom, what are you doing? My matters with the Huo family, why are you coming to find Xu Lin Yun for?"
Su Qi hadn't expected Li Cuiping to be so audacious.
The Xu family was a prominent family in Shencheng, even if not comparable to the Huo family, they were still powerful. Wasn't Li Cuiping afraid of entering the Xu family's gates and never returning?
Li Cuiping sneered, "Of course, I have to find Xu Lin Yun. If it weren't for Xu Lin Yun, why would the Huo family propose divorce to you? You're that mistress, aren't you? Since you want our Su Qi to divorce Huo Tingyun, you need to show some sincerity!"
Hearing this, even the most naive Xu Lin Yun understood.
"Don't you just want money? Tell me, how much money do you want?"
"The money I want, you probably can't afford. But you must have earned quite a lot from acting, right?"
Li Cuiping's eyes rolled as she made an exorbitant demand.
"I want this amount!"
Li Cuiping held up one finger.
"Ten million?" Fortunately, it was only ten million. The Xu family could still afford it. As long as Su Qi divorced Huo Tingyun, ten million was less than the betrothal gifts alone.
"I'll give you ten million!"
"Ten million? Are you begging for scraps! It's one hundred million!"
After Li Cuiping finished speaking, Xu Lin Yun and Xu Lin Chuan both frowned.
"You're simply insane! One hundred million?! How dare you even say that!"
Xu Lin Yun's eyes widened. She had never seen such a shameless person!
"I'm insane? A mere hundred million. Do you know how much pocket money our Su Qi gets each month with Huo Tingyun? Is a hundred million a lot? I'm telling you, not only one hundred million, but I also want real estate, cars, and company shares!"
Li Cuiping's arrogance was extreme.
Xu Lin Yun's teeth itched with anger, her expression extremely unpleasant.
There was nothing she could do. Facing such a scoundrel, she didn't know where to start.
She could only look at Su Qi beside her.
"Sister Su Qi, why is your adoptive mother like this?"
Su Qi spread her hands, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this either. This is her personal behavior, and I can't control it. Why don't we just call the police?"
Xu Lin Chuan thought it made sense and immediately took out his phone to call the police.
The police arrived quickly. After hearing the situation and failing to communicate with Li Cuiping, they directly took her away.
