Chapter 55 Calculation
"That's not up to you." Yun Wei sneered, snatching the divorce papers back from his hand.
Li Yaoting assumed she was referring to what he had just mentioned, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "Do you think I have no other choice without you?"

Yun Wei smiled slightly, offering no rebuttal. Since she dared to propose a divorce, she was confident she could get the other party to comply.

Seeing her confident demeanor, Li Yaoting hesitated.

If he had any other options, he wouldn't have come to the Yun family.

But this woman is actually planning to use divorce as a bargaining chip. Did she already know that he would need her help?

Thinking of this, he was surprised and looked at her scrutinizingly, "Did you already know that I would come to you for help?"

Yunwei remained noncommittal.

Li Yaoting said in a deep voice, "But what can you do?"

“I certainly have a way, but I can’t tell you,” Yun Wei said meaningfully.

Seeing her so confident and determined, Li Yaoting began to waver.

Does the Yun family really have a way to get Chen Qi out?
But the price is divorce!

Li Yaoting clenched his fists and said coldly, "Are you really willing to divorce me? You should know that if you leave me and the Li family, you will be nothing. Not only will people point fingers at you, but you will also never be able to find a husband's family as good as ours if you want to remarry."

Yunwei looked at him incredulously; this man really thought too highly of himself.

Who did he think he was? And what kind of precious family was the Li family?
They really have no self-awareness!

"Don't worry, I'll only be better off away from that hellhole of your Li family."

Li Yaoting said with a grim expression, "Yun family, I'm giving you one last chance. Think it through carefully, or you'll regret it and it will be too late."

"I'll only regret it if the seawater flows backward," Yun Wei said, emphasizing each word.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Li Yaoting felt extremely uncomfortable.

But in order for the Chen family to recover as soon as possible, he felt that she was just a woman, and divorce was nothing.

"I can agree to a divorce, but can you guarantee you can rescue Chen Qi?"

Yun Wei glanced at him and said calmly, "I didn't agree to help you rescue Chen Qi, but when the time comes, you will take the initiative to divorce me, or even beg me."

Seeing her so arrogant, Li Yaoting snorted coldly, "Don't be so conceited."

"Then we'll wait and see." Yun Wei's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yaoting had a bad feeling.

But considering that Yun Shi wants a divorce right now, she should be the one in a hurry. As long as he can control this matter, he won't have to worry about Yun Shi refusing to help.

When the time comes, if he wants the Yun family to move east, she will have no choice but to move east.

Li Yaoting's mind was full of calculations.

"If you don't rescue Chen Qi, then there's no point in discussing a divorce." He said this and turned to leave.

Yun Wei scoffed. He didn't know his mother had been poisoned. If he had, he wouldn't have acted this way.

Sweetie asked with a worried look, "Miss, will Li Yaoting agree to a divorce?"

"Yes," Yun Wei said firmly.

By tomorrow, Li Yaoting will have no say in the matter.

……

Li Yaoting had been waiting for Yun Wei to apologize to him, but she never came. Instead, he heard that his mother had an accident.

When he arrived at Qiutong Courtyard, he was shocked to find that his mother's hair had turned completely white overnight, and many deep wrinkles had appeared on her once rosy and firm face, as if she had aged decades in an instant.

When Madam Li saw her reflection in the mirror, she broke down and screamed. Everyone was terrified.

"Didn't the doctor say yesterday that everything was fine? How could this happen?" Chen Yuniang trembled with fear. The old lady looked like a dying old woman, which was really frightening. Could she be possessed by an evil spirit?

Upon hearing the news, Madam Shen also brought Li Yanting to Qiutong Courtyard.

When they saw what Madam Li looked like, the couple were also incredulous.

"How did a perfectly healthy person become like this?" Shen muttered to herself.

"It's the Yun family! It must be the Yun family who did this!" At this moment, Chen Yuniang suddenly realized something and shouted in a sharp voice.

Upon hearing this, the already devastated Madam Li remembered, "It was her, it must have been her. That poisonous woman fed me poison."

“Mother, is there some misunderstanding? My sister-in-law would never do such a thing,” Li Yanting retorted.

"I'm in this state, if it wasn't her, who else could it be? You unfilial son, how dare you speak up for that poisonous woman!" Old Madam Li angrily rebuked him with a ferocious expression.

Li Yanting wanted to say something, but Shen stopped him, saying, "At this point, whatever you say will be wrong."

Li Yanting pursed his lips.

He didn't believe his sister-in-law would poison his mother; his mother must have done something terrible.

He turned to look at Li Yaoting, hoping he could say a word for his sister-in-law, "Big brother?"

Li Yaoting's expression was extremely unpleasant at this moment.

Because he remembered what Yun had said last night.

She said he would ask her for help; could she be referring to the matter concerning her mother?

Was it really poison that she fed her mother yesterday?
Li Yaoting was both shocked and furious.

"Summon Yun Shi here!" he shouted to his servants.

The servants quickly went to Yilan Courtyard to call for help.

This time, Yunwei did not refuse and came directly to Qiutong Courtyard.

It wasn't surprising to see Madam Li's white hair and wrinkled face.

"The old lady has worked so hard for this family, her hair has turned white and wrinkles have appeared," Yunwei sighed, her face full of regret.

"Yun, stop pretending. You're the one who made Mother like this," Chen Yuniang said angrily.

Yunwei glanced at her. "Aren't you just pretending too? You talk about being righteously indignant, but aren't you secretly laughing to yourself?"

Chen Yuniang paused, a hint of unease flashing across her face. "Don't you dare make false accusations!"

Yun Wei scoffed coldly and ignored her, instead looking at Old Madam Li with sympathy.

"Under my careful care, the old lady's hair was thick and black before, and her face was without a single wrinkle. But now, how did it become like this?"

"Yun, stop with the nonsense and hand over the antidote right now." Old Madam Li glared at her fiercely.

“How could what I said be useless? Wasn’t what I said true? For the past three years, you’ve enjoyed everything I’ve brought you, but when you turn your back on me, you’re so ruthless and vicious. I’d rather raise a dog than raise you. You want Li Yaoting to divorce me? I’m afraid that won’t be what you want.” Yun Wei sat in her chair and said slowly and deliberately.

Li Yaoting's face darkened. "What exactly do you want in order to hand over the antidote?"

Yun Wei said calmly, "Young Master Li is so young, yet his memory is so bad. Didn't I make it very clear last night? As long as Young Master Li does as I say, the old lady will recover."

"Yun, you finally admit that you poisoned the old lady!" Chen Yuniang shouted loudly, as if she had caught her red-handed.

"Are you deaf? When did I ever say I poisoned Madam Li? You're so agitated, I think you're the one who poisoned her!" Yun Wei said calmly.
