"What do you mean by you're going home?! Have you forgotten that you're a married omega?" The Zhang madam was a little bit alarmed. Once the family head paid up the fine in four days, the Zhang family would truly plunge to the bottom.
More and more socialites were beginning to avoid them and they were already banned from a few high class events. All these would be fine once Zhang Jun got out of jail of course but until then, they needed this connection to the Li family in order to keep themselves afloat in the rank of the elites!
He Yuan walked up the stairs with the movers. He couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to the old lady's useless rants. The Zhang family members were like leeches. They attached themselves to you and sucked you dry, milking you of all your worth before discarding an empty shell.
"Li Yexi! I am speaking to you, how could you disrespect your mother-in-law like this?"
Ignored.
The Zhang madam decided to glare at Li Shu instead. "So this is all the Li family amounts to? Just look at what kind of omega your family raised!"
Li Shu also ignored her, he was aware of the fact that paying any attention to her would just give her an excuse to continue her dumb rant.
Li Shiyu heard the commotion and walked over to the living room. He was confused when he saw some strangers walking down the stairs with a bunch of luggage bags. When he finally noticed Li Shu, he froze.
"Brother Shu." Li Shu ignored him but he continued, "I haven't seen you for a while, how have you been? What about uncle, how is he?"
Li Shu smacked his lips in annoyance. "You know the way to the Li mansion. If you really cared, you would've gone over so you better keep all that pretentious shit away from me."
Li Shiyu's eyes reddened. "It's my fault, I was wrong. It's just that the Li mansion reminds me of my parents all the time so I avoided it. I didn't know I would be misunderstood."
Li Shu chuckled and chose to remain silent. What was the use of saying anything? Li Shiyu always had an excuse for everything.
He Yuan walked downstairs all dressed and prepared to leave and that was when Li Shiyu finally registered the meaning of the luggage.
"Yexi, are you going somewhere?"
"I'm returning home," He Yuan said with a quick wave.
Li Shiyu's eyes widened and he had to stop himself from smiling. If Li Yexi left now, there was no way he could squeeze his way back into Zhang Jun's life once the alpha was free.
Although Zhang Jun and Li Yexi had been preparing for a divorce before Zhang Jun was sentenced, he was actually scared that if Li Yexi remained, he would use the Li family influence to win over the Zhang madam and family head and in the end, those two would coax Zhang Jun into remaining with Li Yexi.
Li Shiyu was very satisfied with this development but he held himself and said sadly, "But what about Zhang Jun? I thought you loved him?"
"Not anymore, you can have him," He Yuan said dismissively and Li Shu looked over to his younger brother in surprise.
The Zhang madam pointed at He Yuan in anger. "Li Yexi, you are too shameless! You have been claiming to love my son all these years but in the end, this is all your so called love amounts to?"
He Yuan nodded. "Hm, this is what the love amounts to." And then he walked out the door whilst Li Shu had to cough in order to hide his laughter before he followed after his younger brother.
CRASH!
The Zhang madam pushed a nearby antique vase to the ground, making Li Shiyu and the kids jump slightly. "Li Yexi!" And then she walked upstairs with her chest heaving I'm anger.
Li Shiyu looked out the door just in time to see Li Shu driving away with Li Yexi. He smiled. His omega cousin was such a fool, such a good opportunity to grasp Zhang Jun but he let it slip through his fingers. He should better not come begging once Zhang Jun returns.
Once the Li siblings arrived at the Li mansion, Li Anjing rushed over to hug He Yuan. "My poor baby~"
He Yuan was amused. "I'm 25."
Li Anjing smacked his head. "Even if you were 200, you'd still be my baby."
He Yuan pulled away with a nod. He wasn't used to so much affection from a parent so when faced with Li Anjing's overabundant love, he usually didn't know how to respond. Sometimes, it made him slightly uncomfortable but he knew clearly that Li Yexi was very lucky.
After Li Yexi's luggage was taken to his room, He Yuan crashed on the soft bed. 888 materialized on the reading table, sending He Yuan an amused look.
"That's it?"
He Yuan frowned. "What do you mean by that's it? You can't possibly... Be expecting me to unpack everything could you?"
"You did pack them up in the first place." 888 pointed out with a slight tilt of his head.
He Yuan sat up and glared at the system. "I did but that is as far as I'm going. The omega has too many stuff and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want me to mess things up by sorting it the wrong way."
888 laughed. "What an elaborate justification of your laziness."
He Yuan rolled his eyes with a smile and then paused. "The thing with Pei Jing, did you figure it out yet?"
888 sighed. "No and I checked the rift in the realm. It seems to be closing up nicely so whatever is up with Pei Jing, it isn't a threat. Yet."
"Hopefully it stays that way." He Yuan said as he stood up and walked out of the room. He needed to speak with Li Shu and Li Anjing.
The people in question were seated in the study and Li Anjing smiled at He Yuan the moment he walked in. "Yexi. Shu'er told me you seem to have gotten over that Zhang family child, is that true?"
He Yuan shrugged and then nodded.
Li Anjing's eyes reddened. "Good. Good. He was never good enough for you anyways." The older omega smiled warmly before it slowly morphed into a frown. "But how do you intend to divorce him? Separation takes two years and with the state the Zhang family is in right now, I don't think they'd let you go that easily."
"I already have a plan." Then He Yuan took out his phone. The recordings on his laptop had been saved to a cloud so he could also access them from his phone.
He took a while scrolling through to look for a suitable one to show them. It wasn't that he couldn't just show them a random one, the problem was that Li Shiyu's and Zhang Jun's videos were qualified to win the highest rank for high quality porn.
There were too intense and graphic, with a lot of out-of-this-world positions. After some time, he found one that was relatively mild and handed his phone over to the Li father and son.
He felt his cheeks heat up. It was quite embarrassing.
888 chuckled. [So you know how to feel shame?]
"Shut up." He Yuan groaned. He felt more embarrassed on Li Shiyu's behalf than himself. After all, it was quite shameful for your family, direct or extended, to watch your sex video.
Li Shu accepted the phone and pressed play. The omega father and alpha son felt their cheeks heat up at the sounds. Why on earth did Li Yexi give them porn to watch? Their Li Yexi was so innocent, it must be that Zhang Jun that introduced him to such a weird kink!
Li Shu coughed. "They seem a little familiar though just like-" The alpha paused and his eyes widened. No way. He looked over to his father who was staring at him with an equally shocked expression.
BANG!
Li Anjing smacked the mahogany table with his palms. "Zhang Jun dared!" Li Yexi had informed them of the fact that Zhang Jun was openly chasing Li Shiyu but he never would have thought that those two would be so brazen as to have sex when Zhang Jun was still married to Li Yexi. Under the same roof no less!
Li Shu looked at his younger brother with sad eyes. How much Li Yexi loved Zhang Jun, he was well aware. To be able to witness your husband and cousin committing such an act, just how was his fragile brother able to hold on?
Li Anjing rushed over to hug He Yuan. "Yexi~"
He Yuan coughed. "I'm fine, really." It was true, he wasn't Li Yexi so he wasn't emotionally attached to anyone in this realm.
"I would make them pay!" Li Shu said.
"It's fine, I already have a plan." He Yuan proceeded to tell them the details of his plan and at the end, the father and son were nodding in satisfaction.
When He Yuan wasn't looking, Li Anjing and Li Shu exchanged sad looks. Their carefree Yexi had become so steady and mature.
They weren't so sure if it was a good or bad thing.
