"How dare you three embarrass me like that?" Li Tingzhe's fuse blew up in anger. He never imagined that he would lose his face like this.

Jiang Fai smirked. "Now what will you say, Mr. Li, the cheater? Weren't you questioning how Mom raised me? What about your bitch mistress? Wow. She is teaching her kids to cheat, lie and shamelessly frame an innocent person."

Lihua proudly grinned.

Li Tingzhe's chest heaved up and down, huffing in angry breaths.

The principal shot a stern glare at them. "Mr. Li. I cannot let this slide. Kang Hongqi and Kang Meifen have made serious mistakes that I cannot ignore."

Kang Yuming burst into tears. "No, please! They are only teenagers and so young. Mistakes happen... Please don't be so harsh and give them one chance. They won't do this again…"

Lihua squinted her gaze. "Mistake? They plotted such an elaborate plan to defame Jiang Fai and you say it's just a mistake? If Jiang Fai had done this instead, would you have let it slide?"

Kang Yuming glared at her. She gnashed her teeth, wanting to tear her face off.

The principal said, "There is nothing more to be said and done. I cannot allow this behavior in my school. Today, they tried to frame Jiang Fai. Tomorrow, they will do it to someone else. That's why I have decided to rusticate them from this school."

The family stood rooted in shock. The sibling's eyes popped out as if a thunderbolt struck them.

He looked towards Jiang Fai. "Jiang Fai is also at fault here because he started the fight. He is suspended for a month. All exams that he will miss, he will take them next month. He must pass all the subjects or I will hold him back in the same grade for a year."

Lihua nodded. This punishment was fair enough. Jiang Fai toned down and nodded too. This wasn't that bad as compared to getting expelled from school.

Li Tingzhe said, "You cannot do this, principal. You cannot expel them! This is too much!"

"The punishment is proportional to the mistake they have committed, Mr. Li. They are old enough to understand the gravity of what they did."

Kang Hongqi and Kang Meifen's faces turned ashen and colorless. They could imagine the mocking and humiliation they would have to bear in the next school if this incident came to the light.

She sobbed. "Mom please! I-I don't want to leave this school... please help me…"

Kang Hongqi anxiously nodded. "Dad, you have to help us!"

*SLAP*

"You still have the nerve to beg when you caused this ruckus in the first place!" Li Tingzhe harshly berated him.

"Dad…you hit me…" Kang Hongqi was stunned. His sister hid behind Kang Yuming, feeling afraid to get slapped too.

The principal said, "Mr. Li. Please take your family matters outside. The matter here is settled, so please leave."

As they were shamefully escorted outside, Jiang Fai came up to him and said, "Divorce Mom!"

Li Tingzhe was shocked. "What? Jiang Fai! Mind your tongue!"

"Shut it, you cheater! Your mistress will be so happy to finally get married to you. You two deserve each other so leave my Mom alone!"

"You...Xiurang is my wife."

"You didn't remember that when you slept with this bitch?"

"Talk with respect Fai! She is your elder!"

"An elder who snatched Mom's place and humiliated her! You still have the face to say that she is your wife?" Jiang Fai was utterly disgusted.

"I told you it was an accident. Can she not forgive me and let this matter go?"

Lihua laughed. "Was it an accident the second time too when you had your daughter?"

Li Tingzhe gritted his teeth. "That…"

Kang Yuming shed tears. "Mrs. Jiang. You have already ruined my children's lives and got them expelled. How much more will you trouble us? I already said that I don't want to take her place…"

"Then leave."

She froze and looked at her in horror.

Lihua smiled. "You don't want to take her place, right? So why are you still living with Li Tingzhe, the cheater? Do you expect Aunt Xiurang to accept and live with you too, with whom her husband cheated and had illegitimate children?"

"N-No o-of course I want to leave…"

"Then pack your bags and get out."

Her heart raced in trepidation. "But my children...I don't want them to have an incomplete family…" she gasped.

Li Tingzhe quickly held her shoulder. "Yuming, please don't cry. You will not go anywhere. I will not leave you and our kids alone."

"Tingzhe…"

Lihua rolled her eyes and had an urge to puke. Jiang Fai almost grabbed his neck, but she pulled him back. "Don't be so hasty, Jiang Fai. You don't have to cry to him for divorce because Aunt will divorce him herself."

He was speechless. "You really like to dream, don't you? If she wanted to divorce me, she would already have. She is just angry at me."

"Eleven years and you think that she is just angry at you? Don't take Old Madam's decision as her own, Mr. Li the cheater."

"You!"

"Anyway. You will soon get divorce papers at your doorstep. Haha."

They left the cheater Li family and stepped outside. Suddenly, Lihua felt goosebumps crawl on her skin and she recalled a certain someone's presence. She turned and grinned. "Hehe~ Thank you, Yang Mingshen. If not for you, I wouldn't have been able to save Fai Fai," she wiped her non-existent tears.

Jiang Fai's mouth twitched.

Fai Fai…

Mingshen smiled and opened his palm towards her.

Lihua blinked. "What?"

"Payment. Hand over the cheque. A full five hundred billion dollars."

"Are you kidding me!?" She was horrified.

"Of course not. The charges include your husband threatening my hospitals, the fact that I had to look at an ugly teenager and witness a boring family drama, how I was forced to come here against my will and give my priceless diagnosis for a fucking reaction that is not even worth a second of my time."

"..."

"Choose. Money or become my research subject?" He sneered.

"..."

He got a call and as soon as his sight shifted, Lihua grabbed Jiang Fai's hand and ran away.

Escape is the best plan!
