Chapter 89: Just go be with Li Bin then!
"Li Bin! You!! You!!! You're talking nonsense! That's a stupid argument! You!! The way you talk is… It's simply!! Simply!!..." Cui Tianjiao was left dizzy and disoriented by Li Bin's torrent of rhetoric. He was so furious his head spun, his face flushed red. He felt a surge of indignation, wanting to argue back angrily, but for a moment, he couldn't organize his thoughts for a rebuttal. He just felt his breath get caught in his throat, so thick it felt like it would choke him to death!
How could Cui Tianjiao refute something like this easily?
Faced with Li Bin's eloquent, well-structured, and impassioned logic, the straight-laced Cui Tianjiao was so furious he felt like he was about to vomit blood!
"Bang!!" Cui Tianjiao slammed his palm on the table. Like an enraged rooster, he reached out, grabbed Li Bin by the collar, and roared, "Ah!! I'll kill you, you bastard!!"
"Slap!"
Just then, the crisp sound of a slap rang out.
Ling Hanrui had slapped Cui Tianjiao right across the face!
"Cui Tianjiao!! What are you doing?! Li Bin was reasoning with you calmly, so why do you have to start cursing?! Huh?! You can't win an argument, so you resort to violence?!! Don't you even look at where we are?! With so many people watching! Is this any place for you to act like a hooligan? Do you have no decency?! If you're not embarrassed, I'm embarrassed for you!!!" Ling Hanrui, her face full of anger, pushed the furious Cui Tianjiao away. She stood tall in front of Li Bin, shielding him firmly, and berated Cui Tianjiao.
"Ling Hanrui! You!! You would hit me for another man?!! I'm your husband!! You... you would actually hit me in front of all these people?!!" Cui Tianjiao stared in disbelief at Ling Hanrui, who was standing in front of Li Bin, protecting him. He felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood choked its way out!
"Cui Tianjiao! What did Li Bin say that was wrong? Li Bin was just trying to reason with you! He was doing it for your own good! Why did you have to attack him? We rarely get to have a nice late-night snack together, and you start a fight for no reason! What has gotten into you today? Have you gone mad?! If you want to hit Li Bin, then you might as well beat me and the baby in my womb to death! I can't bear this shame!!" Ling Hanrui's face flushed with anger as she stared in disbelief at her husband. He was usually so gentle and refined but now he was acting like a madman. She simply couldn't understand why her husband, Cui Tianjiao, had suddenly become so furious and lost his composure!
It was simply incomprehensible to Ling Hanrui!
In Ling Hanrui's eyes, everything Li Bin said was perfectly reasonable, every word he uttered was a pearl of wisdom, and he hadn't even said anything excessive!
All of this was entirely Cui Tianjiao being unreasonable and hysterical!
"Hanrui! Forget it! Don't say anything more! This was all just a misunderstanding! Let's all sit down and talk it out! We rarely get together, how did it come to this?" Wen Wan shot Li Bin a vicious glare, then pulled the furious Ling Hanrui over, gently trying to soothe her.
"Alright, alright, Hanrui, please stop. For your husband's sake, I'll just pretend today's incident never happened. This kind of person is completely self-absorbed, living in their own world. He's selfish and self-centered. It's pointless to reason with them! I spoke out of turn!" Li Bin deliberately put on a helpless look and shook his head, but his eyes were filled with provocation as he stared at Cui Tianjiao.
"You fucking bastard! I'm going to kill you!!" Cui Tianjiao was already fuming from Li Bin's words, and now, on top of that, he felt betrayed by his wife.
It felt as if the entire world had betrayed him in that moment!
He wanted to refute it, but he was utterly speechless!
He had countless logical arguments to counter Li Bin's rhetoric, but he had no idea how to put them into words!
Facing Li Bin's insane provocation, Cui Tianjiao felt like he was being driven mad!
"Cui Tianjiao! Come on! Hit me! Go ahead, kill me! Kill me and the baby in my womb, and you'll be satisfied! Then you won't have to worry about splitting your assets with anyone! I won't spend your family's money anymore! Come on! Hit me! Kill me!!" Ling Hanrui held her head high, shielding Li-bin firmly, and thrust her pregnant belly forward, daring Cui Tianjiao to hit her.
Looking at his wife Ling Hanrui's round, protruding belly, Cui Tianjiao ultimately couldn't bring himself to strike.
"Fine!! Fine!! In that case, in that case! Give me back my BMW keys! Don't live with me anymore! And don't you come back to my house!! Since you're protecting Li Bin so much, since you think he's so great, then you can just go live with Li Bin from now on!!! You two have a good life! A very good life! I'm the one who's in the way! I'm leaving!! I'm leaving right now!!!" Cui Tianjiao had completely lost his mind. In his rage, he snatched the BMW key fob that Ling Hanrui had been showing off on the table, turned around, and stormed out the door without a backward glance.
