Chapter 500: Precious Jewelry

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Lei thought about her wedding in July and said through gritted teeth, “He really doesn’t go away, does he?”
Xia Ling said, “I wasn’t the one that signed the wedding certificate the last time. But it’s good now, at least he’s signed the divorce papers.” They would no longer have any relationship after this.
She told Li Lei, “Bring me a pen.”
“You want to sign this divorce settlement?” Li Lei was unhappy. “Didn’t you say that you didn’t sign the wedding certificate? Then, what right does he have to ask for a divorce?! You were never married in the first place!”
Li Lei was overjoyed to hear that Xiao Ling had not signed on the wedding certificate. He had always thought that Xiao Ling and Pei Ziheng were married, but now it seemed that Xiao Ling had not married him at all!
This was wondrous news.
Xia Ling laughed bitterly. “Why wouldn’t it count? Even though the signature was forged, it was still registered at the wedding registry and is legally binding. Legally, I’m Pei Ziheng’s wife. I still need to sign this divorce settlement.”
“If you sign it, aren’t you admitting that you were married to Pei Ziheng?” Li Lei argued. “This is his last despicable move even after letting you go! No, I’m not letting him get away with this.”
“Then, what do you say I do?” Xia Ling was prepared to listen to him obediently.
Li Lei thought about it before saying, “I’ll get someone to validate that your wedding certificate is a farce and get the authorities to declare your marriage void.” In this case, Xiao Ling would not be a divorced woman but a single woman.
Xia Ling agreed. “Okay.”
Li Lei gave her a joyful kiss on the forehead. He should not have let her go through so much suffering and resolved to ensure it never happened again.
Xia Ling ruffled in the suitcase and realized that there were many precious jewels below the divorce settlement papers. There were the colored diamond bracelet and blue diamond necklace worth 200 million that she received from Pei Ziheng in this life, and all the jewelry she received from him in her past life — the jade earrings, pearl hair clip, the ring adorned with precious rare stones, other bracelets, etc.
There were so many of them in the suitcase.
Her expression was complicated.
Li Lei’s expression was dark. “What’s the meaning of this?! Why is he giving my girl so many things?!” Wasn’t the Pei Family close to bankruptcy? Where did he get the money to flirt with Xia Ling?! If he knew that Pei Ziheng was going to do this, he should have just crushed him when he got the chance! Li Lei was regretting letting him off.
Xia Ling merely closed the suitcase.
“What do you plan to do with this suitcase?” Li Lei asked cautiously, before gently coaxing. “Xiao Ling, I’ll buy you all the jewelry you want. Don’t wear all of this, okay?”
Xia Ling giggled at his nervous expression. “Whoever said I wanted to wear these?” She said wistfully, “I will store this case somewhere safe.” What was in the past, was in the past, and her destiny with Pei Ziheng was over. They would be stored away with this case.
Li Lei’s furrowed brows smoothened out as he smiled at Xia Ling. “Xiao Ling is the best.” He tried his luck as he remarked, “It’s such a waste to store this somewhere. Shall we sell it all?”
Xia Ling gave him a light knock on the head with her hand. “Dream on.”
The gleeful glint in Li Lei’s eyes dimmed a little.
Xia Ling realized the change and was afraid that he would take it to heart. She hesitated before saying, “Li Lei, everyone has a past. Pei Ziheng is my past. I can’t throw him away like trash, do you understand? Forgive me, storing this away is the most I can do.”
Li Lei’s expression became serious. “The first time I confessed my feelings to you I told you that it was fine even if you had someone else in your heart. I will still love you. Xiao Ling, we’ve been through so much to be together. This is nothing to me.” Yes, he might not be entirely comfortable with it, but he would still accompany Xiao Ling in the long road of life together until they were both old and white-haired.
He could tell that she was trying her best to love him wholeheartedly, and he did not want to pressure her.
Xia Ling was touched by his words and gave him a big, warm hug.
Today was a chaotic day, and Xia Ling was feeling tired. Li Lei ran the bath for her, sent her to wash up and lie down on the bed to rest. As she was showering, he made dinner and carried it over for her.
Xia Ling took a bite of the prawn dumplings that he had made and looked up with a shocked expression.
“This taste…” She came to a sudden realization. “When I was pregnant and couldn’t eat anything… the food at Feng Kun’s were all made by you?!”
“Yes.” Li Lei nodded casually, even though he was swelling with pride on the inside. “It’s nothing much.” He proudly added after a moment, “I knew it… you can’t live without me.”
“You braggart.” Xia Ling laughed, but her eyes teared up. He didn’t even know that the child was his, but he was being so good to her. How could she not be touched? It’s such a pity that the child didn’t make it in the end.
As she thought about this, she subconsciously placed her fair hand on her abdomen, and the mild ache now made her feel sad. The pain would not go away even though she had returned to Li Lei’s side.
Li Lei caringly watched her and guessed that she had thought about the child. “Take care of your health. Once the wound is healed, perhaps you can have another child. The doctor’s words might not be 100% accurate.”
Xia Ling shook her head. Even if the doctor could not be completely accurate, he would likely be 90% right. The hope of having another child was slim, and she did not want to get her hopes up. What’s more, so what if she were pregnant with another child? The child wouldn’t be the same… wouldn’t be her Zhaohui… that skinny baby with the most innocent smile.
“I will never let her off…” Xia Ling’s said in a low voice.
“Won’t let who off?” Li Lei asked. He had been afraid of bringing up the reason for the child’s death for fear that it would make her feel sad. Now that she had raised the topic, perhaps he could find out if there was any conspiracy?
Xia Ling was lost in her thoughts, but she felt that something was amiss. “Pei Ziheng told me that Xia Yu snuck into the bungalow and threw the child into the rubbish bin. However, I did not see that with my own eyes and no surveillance cameras took evidence of that. Was it really Xia Yu? Or could it be someone else?”
Xia Ling had wanted to say that maybe it was Pei Ziheng. However, Li Lei still thought that Pei Ziheng was the child’s biological father. So, there would be no motive for him to do something like that. If she raised her suspicion of Pei Ziheng, then Li Lei would be highly suspicious of the child’s identity as well.
“It’s possible that there are other culprits too.” Li Lei did not have any suspects in mind. “Shall I help you to investigate?”
Xia Ling nodded. “Start with investigating Xia Yu. If it’s not her, then expand the investigation. I will also go look for Xia Yu to question her on the matter.” She needed to find the culprit that killed her child.
“You should just rest and recuperate.” Li Lei said. “Take care of your injury, then you will have the strength to take revenge for your child.” He held her hand and assured her. “No matter what happens, I will always be standing by your side. We will solve all the problems together.”
Xia Ling stared into his eyes and gave him a smile. “Okay.”
