Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625: Chapter 625: It Takes Two to Tango

As soon as Li Dongmei saw Li Guangyuan, she started crying even louder.

"Brother, you’re finally back. You have to stand up for me."

Old Mrs. Li chimed in, "Guangyuan, you have to come and see, your sister has been wronged so much. That Zhang Wenbin is no good, he actually hit your sister. Look at your sister, her face is swollen from the beating. Is he hitting your sister, or is he hitting the Li family in the face? You can’t just let this slide. Otherwise, how will your sister continue living with the Zhang Family?"

At this moment, Li Guangyuan also noticed that Li Dongmei’s eyes were red, her face was flushed and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were a bit bruised, which showed how hard the person who hit her had struck.

However, Li Guangyuan didn’t feel much pity. He knew his sister’s temper better than anyone, and his mother had a tendency to exaggerate everything related to his sister, twisting the truth entirely.

As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. If Zhang Wenbin hit his sister, it was unlikely that she was entirely innocent.

Moreover, with Lin Jiayi divorcing him, Li Guangyuan harbored some grudges against this sister of his.

If it weren’t for her constantly coming home asking for money, would Lin Jiayi have left everything behind and divorced him?

When he was caught with Widow Tian, Lin Jiayi wasn’t even as outraged.

Thinking of this, Li Guangyuan’s voice carried a hint of accusation, "Why did Zhang Wenbin hit you? Did you do something?"

Li Dongmei screamed at his words, "Brother, what do you mean? What do you mean by did I do something?"

Old Mrs. Li didn’t expect that Li Guangyuan wouldn’t immediately seek revenge for his sister and instead asked such a question. She stopped crying, her voice shrill, "You scoundrel, your sister gets beaten by someone, and instead of standing up for her and taking revenge, you ask if she did something? Is she automatically at fault no matter what she does? Whose side are you on, anyway? What kind of sin did I commit to raise such a thankless wretch like you? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Li Guangyuan was scolded thoroughly by the old lady, and in her urgency, she dealt him a few blows, causing him to gradually calm down.

"Mom, I’m just asking. Even if I went to the Zhang Family, I need a reason, right?"

"Your sister got beaten. Why do you need a reason to ask for an explanation?" Old Mrs. Li persisted.

Seeing her unreasonable, Li Guangyuan held back his anger, "Then you tell me, how should I ask for an explanation? As long as you say the word, even if it means killing that beast Zhang Wenbin, I’ll do it. After all, I’m just a lonely bachelor now, and I’m not afraid of anything."

On hearing her brother’s tone, Li Dongmei became scared and subtly nudged her mother.

She had already explained very clearly to her mother that she was just trying to gain some sympathy, without wanting her brother to confront Zhang Wenbin.

The Zhang Family people, she had already figured them out by now.

The Zhang Family already looked down on them as rural folks. If her brother really went over to cause trouble, the Zhang Family would look down on her even more.

She still hoped to live well with Zhang Wenbin. She had painstakingly become a city dweller and didn’t want to go back to the village.

By then, she’d be a divorced woman, possibly with a child, and what man would want her then?

Li Dongmei thought it through, and so did Old Mrs. Li.

Glancing at her daughter, she suppressed her displeasure towards her son and calmly said, "No matter what, Zhang Wenbin is your brother-in-law. What is all this fighting going to achieve? Do you want to ruin your sister’s life? You can’t manage your own life, couldn’t control your wife, and let her divorce you. Do you want your sister to have a miserable life as well?"

Li Guangyuan said nothing, but his face grew darker.
