Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 72 - 72 72 The Height of Shamelessness

72: Chapter 72: The Height of Shamelessness 72: Chapter 72: The Height of Shamelessness Sun Dongming looked at Li Sijie’s awful complexion and became even more arrogant.

He said, “Li Sijie, out of respect for the time we’ve been husband and wife, I don’t want to embarrass you too much.

Let’s just get a clean divorce.

Whatever you do afterwards, looking for a pretty boy or whatever, is none of my concern.”

“You…

you really want to divorce me?” Li Sijie’s mouth twitched, her eyes reddening.

“What?

You already have a lover and you’ve made me a cuckold, and you still expect me to stay with you?

I’m telling you, Li Sijie, that’s absolutely impossible.

I’m telling you, we must divorce!” Saying this, Sun Dongming slammed his hand on the coffee table.

Li Sijie looked at Sun Dongming for a good half minute, then took a deep breath and said, “Fine, then let’s get a divorce.”

A flicker of joy passed through Sun Dongming’s eyes, but he quickly put on a stern face and said, “Hmph, don’t act so wronged.

It was you who cuckolded me, not the other way around.

I’m the one who should feel aggrieved.”

Li Sijie’s face showed no expression as she said, “Then tell me, how are we going to handle the divorce?

Even though we don’t have children, we still have some assets.”

Sun Dongming’s eyes darted around, then he rolled them and said, “What is there to talk about?

You cheated, so naturally, you should leave the marriage with nothing.”

“Leave with nothing?” Li Sijie’s mouth twitched slightly, retorting, “You’re really cruel, aren’t you?”

Sun Dongming glared at her and said, “What?

After doing such a shameless thing, do you still have any right to argue with me over property?”

Li Sijie suddenly burst into loud, hysterical laughter, tears streaming down her face.

Li Sijie and Sun Dongming had fallen in love in college.

It was her own choice.

After marrying, she found that Sun Dongming was all show and no substance, never striving for better things; Li Sijie worked hard to build their wealth, yet she never once looked down on Sun Dongming.

But now, Sun Dongming was so determined to divorce her and even demanded that she leave with nothing.

There is no greater sorrow than a heart that has died, which was exactly how Li Sijie felt now.

The hope she had harbored to preserve their marriage had totally crumbled in this moment.

“You…

what are you laughing at?” Sun Dongming felt uneasy with Li Sijie’s laughter.

Li Sijie’s laughter stopped abruptly.

Staring at Sun Dongming, she said, “Sun Dongming, what have you contributed to our home?

What have you done other than ask me for money to spend on various things?

How many times have you even been to this club?

Do you know how many classes there are?

How many coaches?

How many students in each class?

How much money have you earned for this household?

And you have the audacity to demand that I leave with nothing?”

Sun Dongming snorted, “Don’t bring up useless things.

Whether it was you or me who earned it, the money gained after marriage is our common property, and it’s clearly stated in the marriage laws.

So, since you cuckolded me, you should leave with nothing.”

Grinding her teeth, Li Sijie said, “You really have the gall, Sun Dongming, to say such things.

You think I’m an idiot?

I heard every single word you said with Song Xiaodong in this office clear and loud.

Now you have the nerve to turn things around on me.”

“You…

what evidence do you have?” Sun Dongming had been prepared to deny everything in this matter all along.

“I…” Li Sijie was at a loss for words for a moment.

What she had said could indeed prove that Sun Dongming was keeping another woman on the side, and that woman was even pregnant, but she hadn’t recorded the conversation just now, so naturally, it couldn’t count as evidence.

Seeing the expression on Li Sijie’s face, Sun Dongming felt reassured and puffed out his chest, saying, “You think setting a trap for me will work?

Useless, let’s sign the divorce agreement right now.

You’ll leave with nothing, or else I’ll call everyone in from the club and let them judge for themselves.”

“You…

you…

you are utterly shameless.” Li Sijie’s face turned pale.

It was the first time she realized that Sun Dongming could be so utterly shameless.

Through gritted teeth, she said, “You want to take over my club?

No way in hell.”

Sun Dongming knew that Li Sijie would not compromise easily.

This was just a matter of asking for an outrageous price at first and then settling for less.

He snorted and said, “Fine, to acknowledge our marriage, I won’t be utterly heartless.

Let’s divide our assets.

Our family assets should amount to ten million, right?

Since you’re at fault, I won’t ask for too much; just give me seven million, and you can keep three million.

I’m being more than fair here.

If it were another man, he wouldn’t let you off so easily.

Not to mention, he’d probably beat you up first.”

“Yeah, if my husband really did beat me, I might actually be happy about it because it would prove he still cares about me.

But my husband, all he can think of is money, ha…

I, Li Sijie, have always prided myself on being good at judging people, but now I realize how utterly I’ve failed.

I couldn’t even choose my own husband properly.”

The more Li Sijie spoke, the sadder and more distressed she became.

The more she spoke, the angrier she got.

Impatiently, Sun Dongming waved his hand and said, “Stop with the nonsense; just make a decision quick.

You wouldn’t want to make a spectacle in the club and lose all your dignity, would you?”

Li Sijie clenched her fists, finding it difficult to make a decision in such a short time.

The club was her livelihood.

Giving it to Sun Dongming was definitely out of the question, but even giving him money was out of reach, not to mention the most important thing was that Sun Dongming, the jerk, was the one keeping another woman, yet now he was accusing her of being at fault.

She found this utterly unacceptable.

Song Xiaodong had been silent the whole time, fidgeting with his phone.

Suddenly, his voice came from the phone, “Director Sun, congratulations on becoming a father.”

This sound came abruptly.

Both Sun Dongming and Li Sijie had already forgotten about Song Xiaodong, but hearing this voice, their expressions changed dramatically: Sun Dongming looked awful, but Li Sijie was first surprised, then filled with a sense of grievance and anger.

“You…

you recorded it?” Sun Dongming glared at Song Xiaodong fiercely.

Song Xiaodong gave a slight smile and said, “Yes, I know how shameless you are.

Since I deliberately baited you just now, how could I not record it?”

“You…

you…” Sun Dongming was furious yet suddenly at a loss for what to do.

Li Sijie took a deep breath, and her gaze turned piercing as she looked at Sun Dongming.

Her tone became extremely resolute as she said, “Sun Dongming, rest assured, I will definitely divorce you, but as for the club, don’t even think about it.

It’s not too late for me, Li Sijie, to see you for who you truly are today.

I tell you, take one million and do whatever you’d like with it.

If you think you can get one more penny from me, forget it!”
