"You are the one who let them down! You are the one who failed them! This isn't my fault that they have turned out like this. You couldn't afford to pay for their International University school fees. How dare you question me? How dare you blame me for your shortcomings?" She fired back as the guards carried the Young Masters over to their bedrooms while she found some antiseptic, disinfectant, and medical ointment to apply to their wounds.
"I failed them? What's in the International Universities that they can't learn here locally? Look at those grades they scored, which International Universities do you think would scoot them over willingly without us spending money on bribes and buying spots for them? Aren't you dreaming a little bit too big? When Ruyi was here, these kids were more behaved and disciplined compared to now. They performed exceptionally well in all their exams; they were the best students, but in a few years, they have regressed and become just stupid. They have grown into a nuisance!" He was mad and sad at the same time, recalling how things were six years ago.
The kids were always well disciplined, did their homework on time, they already knew how to clean after their mess, made sure their rooms were clean and neatly arranged closets, they were at school vicinity on time, and went to bed on time, they had the best grades but what could he say now? Things became opposite... This place was no longer peaceful.
"Ruyi... Ruyi... All the time it's Ruyi, she is already gone! She is gone forever. Do you regret it now? How dare you compare me with a dead person! If it weren't for her, my baby boy couldn't have been burnt down into ashes with her; if it weren't for her, things wouldn't have turned out like this! How dare you question me as if you aren't their father too!" She stood there glaring at him coldly. This has become their norm, they have to argue every single night.
"Because she was always available and present to check up on them all the time. What do you even know about what they ate in the morning, apart from trying to figure out about your career, what else do you do? Apart from acting and modeling, what else do you do?" He picked up his phone, planning to walk out of the mansion. From the moment Shen Ruyi had left, everything turned upside down for him in that mansion. It felt like it was karma playing in their lives.
"What you do all the time is to blame me! Aren't you their father? Where have you been? What have you done?" Tears went down her cheeks as Li Feng strolled out of the mansion over to the pavement and met his secretary/guard there, he couldn't argue with her anymore. It was 10 at night, this place is no longer peaceful, and no longer has the family warmth he yearned for.
"Master Li...." Secretary Yu greeted him as he passed him the laptop. It was clear footage of what had transpired in the clubhouse. He couldn't say his sons were being bullied, but they started all the fights.
"Let's go out." He walked over to the parking lot and boarded his car as Secretary Yu drove him out of the mansion.
"Master, did you have a fight once again? How about you find a marriage therapist!" This wasn't the first time. Every single day, they fought for silly reasons, every single day they had a reason to quarrel endlessly, and they had already neglected the kids. Probably, this was the only way the kids were trying to find some validation in this life. This place was no longer peaceful and neither felt home.
