Chapter 575: Chapter 575: The Powerful Bullying People (3)_1

Li Baoxiang was furious and resentful. He had already thought Sun Xiujin was adequate, but now he realized he was the one being looked down upon; she was still yearning to climb up the social ladder to enjoy the "good life" she spoke of. This humiliation made Li Baoxiang wish he could immediately write a letter of divorce to get rid of Sun Xiujin.

On his way back to Sun Lizheng’s house, he encountered Shen Songming and his servant, who were on their way to scrounge for breakfast.

Li Baoxiang looked at him. He was nothing more than slightly more distinguished in temperament, a man is only as good as his clothes; a horse only as good as its saddle, after all. Sun Xiujin was infatuated, all because he was born into an official’s family, a rich young master from an aristocratic family. By marrying him, she could enjoy wealth and honor. He couldn’t help but glare.

Shen Songming noticed and approached directly. This Li Baoxiang acted in such an ill-mannered way that he was clearly not someone to be closely associated with. At this time, coming out from Pei Qin’s place, was he up to some mischief again?

Li Baoxiang, unable to hold back, clenched his teeth in anger and confronted Shen Songming, "...have you ever considered taking Sun Xiujin as your wife?"

Shen Songming looked at him and frowned in displeasure, "What extraordinary qualities does she have? Why should I, this young master, marry her?" Are both husband and wife crazy? Sun Xiujin’s obsequiousness failed, so she wants to throw herself into his arms? Li Baoxiang stops him early in the morning; does he think he has entangled with his wife!? Is Sun Xiujin even worth it?

Shuang Xi also listened in anger, "Our young master is of noble status; what sort of beauty can’t he have? How could he fancy someone like Lady Sun!? Are you questioning our young master’s eyesight!?"

"Mo Heng is the one with poor vision, he has even been blind before. Go ask him if he fancies her! See if he is willing to take her as a servant to attend to him!" Shen Songming said impatiently, glancing over at him with distaste.

Seeing his unfriendly gaze, and also feeling angered, Li Baoxiang didn’t dare to offend him and hurriedly clasped his hands in apology, "...I meant no offense to Young Master Shen, it’s just that I only learned of this last night... So upon encountering Young Master Shen, I wanted to confront you about it, to see if it were true." Knowing he had been to Pei Qin’s place, he would definitely know, so he told him about Sun Xiujin holding a grudge against Pei Qin and writing notes.

Shen Songming narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly, "It seems the most hateful and venomous person is the one lurking by your side, after all!"

Li Baoxiang quickly spoke again about being turned away from the door in apology, and his own intentions to divorce his wife.

"If you don’t divorce her, you might as well keep her to boil for meat!" Shen Songming sneered, then lifted his foot and quickly walked toward Liu’er Alley.

Shuang Xi lingered behind, looking at several guards following Shen Songming in front and then disdainfully at Li Baoxiang, "You harbor resentment in your heart and are full of spite and still come to the Pei family every day. Lady Sun really is more practiced at falling into our young master’s arms than she was that night when she sprained her ankle!"

Li Baolian’s face turned green with displeasure, unwilling to believe Sun Xiujin was so disgraceful, "If she had done it before, Young Master Shen would have..."

"Taken her into his house? What a pity! She’s quite the actress. With poor vision, she fell onto me, and she still wants to blame it on our young master!" Shuang Xi chuckled. It turns out it was all Sun Xiujin’s doings behind the scenes. Not to mention Ms. Pei, our young master won’t let Sun Xiujin off lightly either now.

Li Baoxiang was terribly annoyed and felt utterly humiliated. He thought, the Sun family only had one Lizheng, and there were no outstanding younger members below him. The Li family was better off than the Sun family; when she married into their family, she rarely even smiled, and she wasn’t warm to her in-laws or sisters-in-law. At first, he thought it was just her character, but now it seems she didn’t want to marry him, looked down on him, and was thinking of climbing higher but failed. She looked down on him?

He went back to the Sun family to pack his belongings and, disregarding Sun Lizheng’s attempts to stop him, left directly to return home, to discuss with his family the matter of divorcing Sun Xiujin.

Hearing the true face of Sun Xiujin, Grandma Li cursed incessantly, supporting Li Baoxiang in divorcing her, and said that after he had achieved academic honor, he could marry someone better!
