Chapter 442 This matter is not over yet
But Liang Lu and Qi Tongwei were both so angry and arguing that they didn't listen to Liang Qunfeng. Liang Lu pointed at Qi Tongwei's nose and said, "I'm going to make this clear today. The child must have the surname Liang. There is no room for negotiation. If you don't agree, we'll see you in court."
Qi Tongwei's eyes turned cold: "See you in court? Are you going to go to this extent just for a surname? Fine, let's go. I want to see what the judge says."
Liang Lu was so angry at his words that she almost fainted. She hugged the child tightly, as if the child was her only support at the moment. "You are such a heartless person. I gave everything for you, but you treat me like this."
Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu with mixed feelings. He knew Liang Lu had contributed a lot to the family, but he could not easily give up his principles. "Liang Lu, it's not that I am heartless. The child is my blood, and I can't let him have someone else's surname."
Liang Lu sneered: "Someone else's surname? In your mind, are our Liang family outsiders? Don't forget that you can't have the status you have today without the help of my family."
This sentence hurt Qi Tongwei again, and his face flushed: "I know your family has done me a favor, but this is not a reason for you to threaten me. I can get to where I am today with my own efforts."
The two refused to give in to each other and fell into a stalemate. The child was frightened by their quarrel and started crying. Liang Lu coaxed the child while continuing to quarrel with Qi Tongwei.
"Look at you, you scared the child and made him cry. Are you still qualified to be a father?" Liang Lu accused angrily.
Qi Tongwei felt a little guilty, but he still said firmly: "You are the one who caused this. If you didn't insist, would this happen?"
Liang Qunfeng looked at the crying child and the two people arguing, and sighed helplessly. He walked to Liang Lu and said softly: "Lulu, how about we think of other ways? Don't be so impulsive."
Liang Lu cried and said, "Dad, there is no other way. He doesn't want to solve the problem at all, he only thinks about himself."
Qi Tongwei also felt very tired. He sat on a chair and rubbed his temples with both hands. He didn't know how this quarrel would end, nor did he know whether their marriage could continue.
After a while, Liang Lu calmed down a little. She looked at Qi Tongwei and said, "We can ask the elders in the family to judge what the child's surname should be."
Qi Tongwei raised his head, looked at Liang Lu and said, "Looking for the elders? This is our own business, why should we look for the elders? And they will definitely favor your family."
Liang Lu said: "That's because my family is right. It's only natural for a child to have the surname Liang."
Qi Tongwei snorted coldly: "Your so-called natural law is to ignore my feelings? I am the father of the child, I have the right to decide the child's surname."
The two started a new round of quarrels. Liang Lu put the child on the bed and walked to Qi Tongwei, "Do you have the right? Do you think I don't know what you did outside? If you still want to live a good life, agree to let the child have the surname Liang."
Qi Tongwei's eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about? What happened to me outside? Don't slander me."
Liang Lu saw Qi Tongwei's reaction and became more certain of her suspicion. "Don't think I don't know about your affairs with those women. If you don't agree to let the child have the surname Liang, I will expose all these things."
Qi Tongwei stood up, pointed at Liang Lu angrily and said, "You dare! If you dare to spread rumors, I will not let you go."
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Liang Qunfeng quickly grabbed Qi Tongwei and said, "Tongwei, calm down. Lulu might be too angry to say these things."
Liang Lu was relentless: "I didn't spread rumors. You know it in your heart. If you want this family to continue, agree to my request."
Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. He knew Liang Lu was forcing him, but he didn't want to compromise easily. "Liang Lu, don't go too far. Even if those things didn't happen, the child can't have the surname Liang."
The two were in a stalemate again, and the room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. The child kept crying beside him, and Liang Qunfeng was in a dilemma. This quarrel about the child's surname seemed to have pushed the family to the brink of breaking up. Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu didn't know how to end it. They were getting deeper and deeper into their own persistence and the other party's toughness, unable to extricate themselves.
Qi Tongwei stood in the room, his anger growing stronger and stronger. He looked at the crying child and the angry Liang Lu, wondering how he could be suppressed like this in his hometown. He gritted his teeth and said to Liang Lu, "Liang Lu, don't go too far. This is my hometown, surrounded by my relatives and friends. How can I save my face if you keep making trouble like this?"
Liang Lu snorted coldly: "Your face? You are talking to me about face now? I can't even decide on the child's surname, why should I care about your face. I tell you, there must be a result today."
Liang Qunfeng looked at the two of them and said anxiously, "Stop arguing. This is not a solution. Everyone should take a step back." But Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu simply couldn't listen.
Qi Tongwei clenched his fists: "I won't back down again. The child's last name is Qi, this is my bottom line. If you continue to act unreasonably like this, don't blame me for being rude." Liang Lu widened her eyes: "Unrude? What do you want? Do you dare to do anything?"
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger: "I won't do anything, but I have the final say in this family. Things concerning the children must be handled according to my ideas." Liang Lu looked at him, her eyes full of disappointment and anger: "You disappoint me so much, Qi Tongwei. I was really blind to marry you."
The child's crying echoed in the room, making the atmosphere even more tense and depressing. Qi Tongwei's relatives heard the noise and were a little overwhelmed outside the house. They wanted to come in and persuade them, but they felt that this was someone else's family affair and it was not appropriate to interfere.
Qi Tongwei turned around and said loudly to the door: "Stop eavesdropping outside and go do what you should be doing." His voice echoed in the room, making Liang Lu even angrier.
"Are you being mean to others now? If you have the ability, just solve the problem instead of showing off here." Liang Lu accused angrily.
Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu again: "I have been trying to find a solution, but you have been persistent. A double surname is the biggest concession I can make, but you are still not satisfied." Liang Lu raised her voice: "A double surname is not acceptable at all. This is not a normal surname. The child will be laughed at in the future."
