Jiang Xiurang stood upright and firm as she faced Li Tingzhe. The harsh slap imprinted the trace of her fingers on his cheek, making it turn bright red.

Li Tingzhe covered his face in shock. "Y-You…"

"ENOUGH!" She roared. "I had enough of you! How dare you tell me to forgive you after all that you did! You ruined my life. You broke my heart. You trampled upon my dignity by bringing a homewrecker in the house and you say that I should come back to you!? Do you even take me as a human?"

Her chest huffed, taking in furious breaths and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"For eleven years, you were busy making out with this bitch of a homewrecker and now that the tables turned against her, you are coming and wagging your tail to me! That's pathetic! You know, Li Tingzhe? You don't want me back because you suddenly realized your wrongdoings. You still don't think that you did anything wrong by cheating on me! You only want me back because I am so dressed up and looking more beautiful than your fake mistress here. You suddenly remember that Fai is your son because he won and everyone is praising him. You just want us back to raise your own status!"

Li Tingzhe looked at her dumbfounded. Her every word reddened his face in embarrassment because he knew that she was speaking the truth.

She laughed. "I never thought that you would be so disgusting. You are so happy at Fai now, but did you forget how you insulted him for his talent. You said to force him to back out from this project because you didn't want him to embarrass you! And now you are proud of him? Do you have any heart!"

Everybody whispered and gave disdainful and dirty looks at him.

"You.. did nothing but humiliate me and Fai all these years…" she gasped, "I lived a life of disgrace even though you cheated on me! Even though you destroyed our marriage, I had to live as if I was at fault. As if I brought shame on everyone. And you! You did nothing but enjoy your life with this woman and your children and I only suffered! And now you want me to go back after making my life hell? A life with a cheater like you is hell, Li Tingzhe. I am not crazy to go back to you!"

Li Tingzhe panicked. He felt as if he lost all his face in front of everyone. He wanted to run away from everybody's accusing stares.

"Xiurang...you misunderstand me…" he tried to appease her.

"No, Li Tingzhe! I don't misunderstand you," she gritted her teeth. "Don't take me as a fool. You made your choice eleven years back by sleeping with this homewrecker. You stick to it or throw her away is your problem. But I am not going back to you. I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again. Neither will you be my husband nor Fai's father! You lost that right a long time back!"

He turned pale.

She glanced at Kang Yuming and sneered. "Don't worry, Kang Yuming. You don't have to worry about me returning to your lives. You can take away this disgusting baggage with you and live a happy life with him. Isn't that what you always wanted? Li Tingzhe is yours. I have finally divorced him. Now you can go and start arrangements for your marriage."

Her face flushed in red and as everybody bored their gazes on her filled with contempt. After being congratulated like that, who would marry him and become the target?

The Old Madam angrily faced her. "Xiurang, that is enough! I will not allow this divorce to happen."

Xiurang glared at her. "Allow? I don't need your permission anymore to divorce him."

She widened her eyes and looked at her, stunned.

Xiurang is talking back to me?

"Fai won fair and square and according to the condition, I have every right to divorce him. Even without this challenge, I always had that right but you oppressed me for eleven years under your tyranny and fake reputation!" She burst into tears. "I had enough of it now! Just what bad...bad things did I do in my past life that I got such a mother like you!? You don't deserve to be one!"

The Old Madam froze. Her expression turned frosty, making the atmosphere deadly gloomy and suffocating.

"You...how dare you speak to me like that?"

"I will!" She exclaimed, feeling outraged. "A parent is supposed to stand on his children's side through thick and thin. What did you do? My husband cheated on me for God's sake and you wanted me to continue living with him as if nothing happened? You wanted me to share him and that house with this bitch!?"

Kang Yuming dug her nails in her palm, feeling extremely insulted.

"You disregarded my feelings as if I was some trash," she sniffled, "All this fake reputation made you completely blind that you were ready to put your own daughter's happiness at stake! You wanted me to forgive a man like Li Tingzhe!? You…you want to push your own daughter in despair once again? Am I even your real daughter that you treat me like this?"

The others started whispering.

"Oh God. What kind of a mother is she?"

"Who can tolerate when their children are being cheated upon?"

"She wanted her to go back? That's terrible."

"She is worse than a stepmother."

Her blood boiled in anger listening to all the insults.

"Fai and I have tolerated enough. Not anymore!" Jiang Xiurang wiped her tears. "I have already signed the divorce papers and I will not take my decision back!"

Lihua clapped and brightly grinned. "Aunt that was savage! I am proud of you! You show them!"

Li Tingzhe's face darkened. "Shut up you witch! Ever since you stepped in, you have ruined everything! Don't interfere between Xiurang and me!"

Jiang Xiurang slapped him hard again. "It is because of her that I have gotten my self-respect back. Don't you dare insult her!"

"Xiurang, please don't listen to her. You cannot divorce me like this...I will do everything you want."

"What is happening here?"

The Mafia King's cold voice brought upon absolute silence in the room. Amidst the stillness in the air, he regally stepped in, carrying a bouquet of violet lilies in his hand.

He walked towards Lihua. His gaze softened and gently placed a kiss on her lips. "Congratulations on your victory, wifey."
