By now, Xiao Li and Ning Qingwan had already sat down. Although the earlier collision was a bit awkward, they tacitly understood and didn't mention it.
Just as Xiao Li was looking at the medical records, Su Liya burst in furiously, pointing at him and shouting, "Xiao Li, you scumbag! You actually cheated on my sister!"
Xiao Li immediately frowned and turned to look. Ning Qingwan, confused, watched Su Liya charge over with a puzzled expression.
Su Liya stormed over, first glancing at Ning Qingwan. She did find her somewhat familiar, but at that moment, she didn't think much of it—all she knew was that this woman was exceptionally beautiful.
Xiao Li's expression turned cold. "Su Liya, I have no idea what you're talking about."
Su Liya sneered. "Still pretending? You rushed to meet someone at a hotel right after the divorce. Disgusting! And you dared to act like a devoted, good man in front of my sister when you were already keeping a mistress outside!"
Xiao Li's face darkened. "Before the divorce, I never did anything to betray your sister. Also, I'm already divorced from her. Who I see and what I do now have nothing to do with you."
"You dog, you still dare talk back?" Su Liya persisted, raising her voice even louder. "You dog, listen to me. Even though you're divorced from my sister, you're not allowed to touch another woman. Otherwise, I'll break your dog legs."
"A dog like you really deserves to be castrated and live off garbage for the rest of your life!"
Su Liya ranted like a shrew, without a trace of the fragility and innocence she usually displayed.
Such hypocrisy and malice were too much to bear, even for someone as patient as Xiao Li. This was already the second time today—first, she insisted he had harassed her, and now she was here hurling insults nonstop. Enough was enough!
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Li's eyes as he raised his hand to slap her.
But at that moment, a slender hand was already raised and forcefully struck Su Liya across the face.
Slap!
It was Ning Qingwan!
She had probably figured it out—Dr. Xiao had gotten divorced, and his sister-in-law was being aggressive!
Seeing Xiao Li about to strike, Ning Qingwan realized this was a good opportunity, so she acted first.
After being slapped, Su Liya was stunned, her mouth hanging open in disbelief.
Ning Qingwan, however, spoke with an apologetic tone. "Dr. Xiao, I'm terribly sorry. I just couldn't bear her foul language."
Xiao Li didn't blame her in the slightest; instead, he felt secretly grateful. After all, he and Su Qingrou had been married once, and even after the divorce, it wasn't appropriate to publicly slap his ex-sister-in-law.
Seeing that Xiao Li wasn't upset, Ning Qingwan felt a secret delight, realizing her choice had been right. She then glared coldly at Su Liya. "I'm warning you. If you insult Dr. Xiao again, you'll be in serious trouble."
Su Liya suddenly snapped back to reality, shrieking in rage, "You homewrecker, you b*tch! How dare you hit me?! Ahhh, I'm going to beat you to death, you b*tch..."
Su Liya flailed her arms, trying to hit Ning Qingwan, who sidestepped and slapped her again...
Su Liya was stunned by the slap, clutching her burning cheek as she stumbled backward, both furious and terrified. "You, you... Fine! Xiao Li, you dog, you actually got your mistress to hit me..."
Before she could finish, Ning Qingwan strode forward, raising her hand to strike again.
Su Liya, terrified, quickly backed away, her face full of fear. "You, you... Xiao Li, just you wait, just you wait..." With that, she scrambled away in a panic.
Once Su Liya had disappeared, Ning Qingwan turned her gaze back to Xiao Li, apologizing again. "Sorry, Dr. Xiao. I was impulsive."
Xiao Li suppressed his anger and smiled wryly. "Thank you. And I'm sorry you had to see that."
Ning Qingwan offered a gentle smile. Although she wasn't entirely clear about the situation, she had heard the word "divorce"...
Fifteen minutes later, inside the Su family villa.
Su Liya clutched her burning cheek, teary-eyed and looking particularly fragile. Her nose was red and swollen from being pinched, making her look like a clown.
Su Liya sobbed pitifully as she complained, "Sister, look, he did this to me. Wuwu... He's a bad man. He was already keeping a mistress outside."
"I saw him going to a hotel with his mistress, so I followed him there to confront him. Who knew... he actually hit me! The hotel staff can all testify, wuwu..."
"Sister, you have to stand up for me. He's just too despicable, wuwu..."
Looking at her pitiful younger sister, Su Qingrou's already reddened eyes welled up with tears again, her heart filled with utter disappointment.
