Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Severing Family Ties ( 1 )
Li Chenxuan reached out and took the wooden tablet, looking at it in disbelief. His wife Jiao Siyu’s name is written on the wooden tablet. Looking at it, he remembered his dream and his hand tightened.

“This must be a lie. Siyu will never leave me…”

Just when he was still denying the fact, he heard his father’s voice, “You are finally willing to come back.”

He was startled, but when he turned around he saw his father’s calm expression. He looked at the expressions of his brother and sister-in-law and found that they looked at him strangely.

Li Chenxuan held the wooden tablet tightly and asked, “Father, what’s going on? Why did you put these things in my house?”

Father Li looked at him for a while and asked with a sigh, “Second son, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”

“Father, what do you mean?” Li Chenxuan asked, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

“Your wife passed away yesterday morning, and we just came back from the cemetery.” Father Li explained.

“Impossible! Father, stop joking. My wife is still in the hospital.” Li Chenxuan said with a hint of anger.

Hearing this, Zhang Dongmei frowned and asked, “Second brother, where have you been these two days?”

Hearing Zhang Dongmei’s question, Li Chenxuan did not dare to look at his father and brother. Although the donation was for Jiao Siyu’s medical treatment, he never intended to use all of it on her. Therefore, he must not tell his family about his trip to the capital.

After a while, he said, “I went to the city on a business trip and just came back.”

Zhang Dongmei frowned deeper and asked again, “In other words, you came here without even going to the hospital?”

Feeling cornered by the question, Li Chenxuan started to panic and said, “Sister-in-law, stop changing the topic. I’m talking with my father, who do you think you are to keep intervening?”

When Li Chenze heard his second brother’s rude words to his wife, his face darkened and he said, “Li Chenxuan, pay attention to your tone when you talk to your sister-in-law! Apologize to your sister-in-law!”

With Li Chenze’s warning, Li Chenxuan’s momentum weakened. Although he was reluctant, he still said, “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry.”

Now that she had apologized, Zhang Dongmei didn’t want to prolong the matter anymore and said, “Second brother, we didn’t lie to you. The hospital has even issued a death certificate.”

“Impossible! Sister-in-law, even if you don’t like my wife, how can you curse her like this?” Li Chenxuan still couldn’t believe that his wife was dead.

Father Li sighed and said, “Second son, come with me.”

Li Chenxuan saw Father Li entering his bedroom and followed him. In the room, Father Li opened the cabinet, took out an envelope, handed it to him, and said at the same time, “This is your wife’s death certificate and medical report. Father knows that it is difficult for you to accept this news, but we did not lie to you.”

Li Chenxuan took out the document from the envelope and read it with red eyes. Although he didn’t understand many words, he could still understand the word ‘deceased’ next to Jiao Siyu’s name. His hands were trembling as he asked, “Why didn’t you wait for me to come back?”

“At first we want to wait for you. However, we don’t know where you are going or when you will come back, and since the weather is getting warmer, we can’t wait any longer. Before her body started to decay, we decided to bury her today.” Father Li sighed.

Although he understood what his father said, Li Chenxuan couldn’t accept it at all. He is Jiao Siyu’s husband, how could they decide on her funeral without waiting for him?

He held the death certificate tightly, crumpled it into a ball, and asked through gritted teeth, “Father, do you ever regard me as your son?”

Father Li frowned and said, “What foolish thing are you asking? Of course, you are my son.”

Hearing his answer, Li Chenxuan was furious and shouted, “If I am your son, why do you always look down on me?! Siyu is my wife, how can you decide everything without asking me?! Have you considered my feelings and dignity?”

“I don’t even know where you are, how do you want me to ask you? Haven’t you thought about your wife? Her body is showing signs of decay!” Father Li asked him back.

“Excuse, all of that is just your excuse! You must hate me for being different from my brothers, right? So every time you see me, you always look down on me and look at me judgmentally! “Li Chenxuan shouted and swept away everything on the table.

Father Li was surprised by his outburst and felt his chest tightened. He frowned while he clutched at his heart and looked at his son with a pale face.

Hearing the noise coming from the bedroom, Li Chenze rushed over and shouted, “Second brother, what are you doing?!”

Seeing his arrival, the hatred and jealousy in Li Chenxuan’s heart became even stronger, and he shouted angrily, “What am I doing?! I want to sever ties with all of you! I’ve had enough of your arrogance!”

Father Li staggered back a few steps, sat on the Kang bed, and looked at his second son in disbelief. He pointed at him with trembling hands and said angrily, “What did you say? Say what you said again!”

Li Chenxuan turned to look at Father Li and snorted coldly. There was obvious hatred and contempt in his tone, and he said coldly, “I said, I want to sever ties with the Li family. From today on, we will have nothing to do with each other!”

Before anyone could speak, he added, “Since you look down on me and hate me, there is no need for me to stay in this family. I will leave and never appear in front of you again.”
