His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chu Ling looked at Song Lili with disbelief. She had never seen such a greedy person, hoping to climb to the top with a single hop. Her face became incredibly ugly once again as she looked down on her former self who had doted on the snake.

"Song Lili, how can you make such a demand? Have I not been good to you?" Chu Ling asked again with pain in her heart.

It was difficult for her to understand even though things had progressed to this stage.

"Good to me? How have you been good to me?" Song Lili raised her voice. "If you had been good to me, I would be married to Zhong Feng right now. He would not be with that useless woman."

"You cannot force feelings, Song Lili. You know that Feng'er has no feelings for you." Chu Ling explained.

"Feelings? Why do feelings matter? In this upper class, no one marries out of love. It is always about finding a suitable arrangement. And no one was more suitable than me. If you cared about me, you would have made the right call." Song Lili laughed coldly.

They would not be here if Chu Ling had not indulged the whims of her son.

"Would your parents be happy to see you acting like this? They have always wanted you to grow up to be a good person."

"Don't talk about them." Song Lili said coldly. "We have already broken up all relations."

Chu Ling's eyes flickered when she heard the new information. She had not heard about such a matter taking place. She had spoken with Song Lili's mother a couple of months ago, but things seemed to be alright.

Now, hearing Song Lili's words, her interest rose. She needed to learn more about it. Perhaps it was something that they could use against her.

"Still, I will not give you fifteen per cent of Zhong Industries. Even one per cent would be too much." She finally said.

Before Song Lili could retort as she intended, the sunroom door opened, and three guards entered behind the butler. They seized Song Lili by the arms and took her bag from her in case she had anything dangerous. Song Lili did not care.

"I knew you were stalling, but it doesn't matter." She smiled. "The decision is Zhong Feng's. Even if you destroy the evidence in my bag, I still have some backups."

Chu Ling levelled her angry gaze at the evil woman before turning to the guards. "Hold her until we are ready to deal with her."

Song Lili did not resist as her upper arms were grasped by two guards, and she was ushered out of the sunroom. She did not care as long as she got what she wanted.

Chu Ling did not know that Song Lili had not given up Zhong Feng, she was just choosing to retreat for the moment. In her mind, as long as she got shares in Zhong Industries, she would be able to participate in the daily operations of the business.

With time, as they worked together, Song Lili could not believe that she would not be able to attract Zhong Feng. In the end, all men were the same. With enough persuasion, a woman could make them do anything.

She refused to believe that she could not win over Zhong Feng. At this point, her determination had little to do with love. She wanted to win and prove to herself that she could get anything that she wanted.

Chu Ling sat down heavily as Song Lili was ushered out of the room. She felt like she had grown a little older by just talking to that woman. She could not believe that it had come to this point after everything they had shared in the past.

"Why was Little Fai screaming?" She asked the butler when she collected herself.

Butler remained composed, but there was a glimmer of humour in his eyes. "The old master came back and tried to scare the boy with his usual antics."

Chu Ling felt the weight of the serious matter at hand become a little lighter. She could already picture the adorable Hu Fai screaming while her father-in-law looked at him, lost for words.

"Where is Fai now?" She asked.

"He and the old master went to his courtyard to look at the herbs in his garden." The butler replied.

Chu Ling frowned with unwillingness in her heart when she heard that. Her imagination became wild as she imagined Hu Fai abandoning her.

How could things have changed outside while she was stuck in the sunroom with Song Lili? If she did not do anything and Hu Fai continued to bond with her father-in-law, Hu Fai's affections might change. Currently, she was his favourite because she stayed home with him.

They always planted flowers and studied some art and calligraphy. She would also help him review the lessons after the private tutor they had hired left. Besides, she always ensured that he had delicious food.

But her father-in-law could not be underestimated. He had a personality that got along with young people. Plus, if he decided to take away Hu Fai, it would be hard to fight back. At that moment, she had already forgotten that Hu Fai was not a member of the Zhong family.

Rightfully, Hu Lei was the legal guardian and had the final word.

"Madam, you should inform the young master about the matter first." The butler reminded her.

Chu Ling cleared her mind of the frivolous thoughts. The most important thing was to manage the explosive situation that had occurred before thinking about other matters.

"I will do that right away."
