Chapter 252 – Jiang Li’s Secret (2)
Lai Chang smiled. "What's wrong? Why didn't you call her inside? We would be more than happy for her to join the party."
Hou Zhenzhen slowly walked up to him and tugged his coat. "Chang, what is going on? Everybody is looking at us…"
He shrugged off her arm, making her stiffen.
Jiang Li said nothing.
Everybody whispered. "What woman?"
"Did Jiang Li meet with a woman outside?"
"What? Lai Chang cannot be implying that he is cheating on Jiang Lanying, right?"
They suspiciously looked at him. Lihua anxiously bit her lip.
What is happening?
Jiang Lanying angrily said, "Lai Chang. I already told you to stop with this."
Jiang Li squeezed her hand. He stared at him and said, "Don't go in circles."
Lai Chang laughed. "Circles and me? I think you are the one fooling everybody here, Jiang Li. Call your friend at the party if you have the guts."
He said nothing.
"Why are you so silent now?"
Jiang Li balled his fist and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. His heart raced in panic. He held her hand and pulled Jiang Lanying. "Let's leave. We have already shown our faces. There is no need to stay here anymore."
He began to walk away when Lai Chang said, "You cannot leave, Mr. Jiang Li! Now that I know how less of a man you are, you cannot leave until everybody knows your shameful truth here!"
Jiang Li stopped in his steps.
The atmosphere turned even more chilly, leaving everybody more confused.
Lai Chang looked at all the guests and said, "Don't you all want to know what truth Jiang Li is hiding in his closet?"
He glanced at Hou Zhenzhen's friends. "You two. Didn't you ask Lanying before about when she would give a little Li or Lanying?"
They slowly nodded.
"Hahaha! Do you want to know the answer to it? Never! Lanying would never be able to bear a child!"
Everybody sharply gasped.
Lihua froze.
N-never able to bear a child?
She clenched her jaw. "Lai Chang! What nonsense are you spouting!?"
Jiang Lanying stared at him unblinkingly. She heard the words but at the same time, she felt if she didn't. She slowly lifted her head and met Jiang Li's gaze. "Li…"
But he kept his silence.
Lai Chang sneered. "Why are you asking him? He won't say a word out of his mouth!"
Hou Zhenzhen covered her mouth in disbelief. "D-Does that mean that Lanying has…some problems to conceive?"
She secretly felt happy to know this. For the first time, she thought that Jiang Lanying had lost in something to her. To not be able to give an heir to the Jiang family was the worst fate she could face.
Lai Chang laughed. "Wrong!"
Hou Zhenzhen frowned.
"There are no problems with Lanying. There are problems with Jiang Li!"
Silence.
"He is the one who can never make her pregnant because apparently, Mr. Jiang Li has some issues if you all know what I mean," he sneered.
Jiang Lanying froze and her eyes slowly widened in shock. She trembled and looked at him in disbelief.
All the men present in the party began to chuckle. "What? The mighty Jiang Li has problems in that area?"
"That is actually so embarrassing."
"No wonder there isn't a child yet after two years…"
"So poor Jiang Li has been trying hard but seems like his little brother is not in a good shape."
Hearing all the humiliating taunts and insults towards Jiang Li made Lai Chang extremely satisfied. Two years ago, he was the laughing stock in society when everybody came to know how Jiang Li beat him up. He was stuck in the hospital for days and when he came out, he heard everybody talking behind his back.
Ever since that time, he always wanted a chance to take his revenge and humiliate him as much as he did. And now that he got his chance tonight by hearing such a scoop, he wasn't going to let go of it.
Now Jiang Li was the laughing stock.
Lai Chang smiled. "That woman he meets is his doctor who is treating him. But unfortunately, Jiang Li is still unable to get cured. He has been hiding this truth for a long time now. Jiang Li has no problem in humiliating other people but when it came to himself, he slyly hid this fact from Lanying. How embarrassing it is that Jiang Li is not even a man," he chuckled.
"Lai Chang!" Lihua stormed towards him and slapped him hard across his cheek. "Shut your mouth or I will do it myself."
"You! How dare you hit me? I am just telling the truth! Jiang Li has been cheating on Lanying! He should feel embarrassed of himself! But you are busy protecting your brother-in-law."
"What is-"
"Li!"
Jiang Li suddenly stormed out of the party hall. The men sneered and laughed at him for hiding his face and running away. But he didn't care about any of that. He simply left without looking at anybody.
Jiang Lanying hastily followed after him but he walked so fast that she couldn't keep up with his pace.
"Ouch!"
She stumbled as pain shot in her ankle. Jiang Li froze and quickly turned. He almost went back to help her but he suddenly stopped again.
He stared at her and clenching his fist, he lowered his gaze and left.
"I am sorry, Lanying…"
"Li! Li!"
She helplessly saw him leave. Lihua quickly came to her aid. "Lixue. Li…he left. I-I want to go after him," she burst into tears. "Please take me to him, Lixue…Lixue, he is going somewhere. I have to be with him… I cannot leave him alone."
Lihua nodded. "Yes, yes. I will take you to Jiang Li."
Lai Chang gnashed his jaw. "Don't be crazy, Lanying! How can you even be with such a man anymore?"
Jiang Lanying silently faced him. "Lai Chang. Today, you have crossed all limits of decency. I cannot believe that you can go this far to humiliate Li. I still regarded you as my friend but not anymore. Lai Chang. Don't ever show me your disgusting face again!"
