Chapter 210 You Don’t Want Me, But I Want You

However, Li Ruochu has never forgotten the grievances she suffered from Long Moyang when she was a child. Those painful memories are like sharp blades, piercing her heart from time to time.

Her eyes instantly became cold and firm: "You are afraid of Long Moyang's strength now, but you probably don't know the grievances I suffered when I was a child. But I must take revenge on Long Moyang."

After saying that, Li Ruochu slowly set her eyes on Li Mingzhu and said calmly, "Mom, see the guests off!"

The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable determination.

Lerna was quietly watching the scene in front of her. When she heard Li Ruchu affectionately calling someone else "mom", her heart seemed to be suddenly pulled by an invisible hand, and a heart-wrenching pain spread instantly.

A complex emotion flashed in her eyes. It was obvious that the graceful girl in front of her was her biological daughter who she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy.

But she could only bury this desire for mother and daughter to meet deep in her heart and dared not express it easily.

Lelna bit her lip slightly, her heart full of struggle and helplessness, and slowly said: "I know you must have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, but let's wait until we have dealt with those difficult matters of the Long family before we come to recognize you, okay?"

There was a slight tremor in Lerna's voice. This was the biggest concession she could make.

For the future of the Long family and the complicated family interests, she could only harden her heart and let her own daughter continue to suffer the grievances for the time being.

“Not good!” Li Ruochu’s eyes had already turned red. She tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement. “You must remember, it’s not that you don’t recognize me, but now I don’t want to recognize you!”

After saying that, she grabbed Feng Yizhou's hand without hesitation, as if it was her only support at the moment. Only by holding on tightly could she give herself a little comfort and resist the sadness that surged like a tide in her heart.

"Uncle and aunt," Feng Yizhou looked at the Long family couple firmly, with a look of unquestionable determination in his eyes, "Chu Chu is the woman I, Feng Yizhou, have chosen. You don't want her, but I do! I regard her as a treasure. But please remember one thing, no matter what happens in the future, don't regret your choice today."

Feng Yizhou's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the quiet room.

When Lerna heard this, she clenched her hands unconsciously, her knuckles turning white from the force. The next second, as if stimulated by something, she stood up suddenly and said excitedly, "I didn't mean to say I don't want her. I just think the time is not right now. You don't understand the situation of the Long family, and the interests involved are too complicated. Recognizing her now will only bring danger to Chuchu."

Lerna tried to explain, her eyes full of anxiety and helplessness.

"When will the time be ripe? How it is ripe is your own business," Feng Yizhou sneered, his tone becoming colder and colder, as if covered with a layer of frost, "But for me, Li Ruochu will never be my second choice, she is my only one. I will not let her get hurt again."

As he spoke, he subconsciously tightened Li Ruchu's hand again, responding to her quietly with this small action, conveying his strength and determination.

"Enough!" Li Mingzhu, who had been forbearing, suddenly shouted loudly, her eyes widened and her face was full of anger, "Wuyou is the best daughter in the world. You Long family don't care about her, but we do! She is a unique treasure in our hearts."

After finishing speaking, Li Mingzhu cast her gaze coldly at the Long couple and said bluntly: "You are not welcome here, please go out." Li Mingzhu's voice was firm and contained a majesty that could not be refused.

After leaving Old Ji's house, the Longs walked towards the black luxury car with heavy steps. The morning sun shone on them, but failed to dispel the oppressive atmosphere around them. Long Tingxiao stretched out his hand to open the back door, and Laerna lowered her head slightly and got into the car, followed by Long Tingxiao.

The car door slowly closed, isolating the outside noise. The car was silent except for the slight sound of breathing. Lerna sat in her seat, staring blankly ahead, biting her lower lip, trying to suppress her inner emotions. However, she couldn't help it, and tears burst out like a flood. She covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly, and finally burst into tears, her cry full of the pain that had been suppressed for a long time.

"Well, our daughter is still alive. I'm really happy that she's still alive." Lerna choked up and said, with sobs in between. Li Ruochu's disappointed and resolute eyes kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was full of regret and self-blame. She knew that what she had just said and what she had done had deeply hurt her daughter's heart. But why did things develop to this point? She was full of helplessness and pain, but she didn't know how to relieve it.

Seeing his wife so sad, Long Tingxiao felt distressed. He reached out his hand, gently put his arm around Lerna's shoulders, pulled her closer to him, and comforted her softly, "I know you are in pain right now, but we have to be patient." His voice was low and tired, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and worry.

If they showed that they liked their daughter too much, with Long Moyang's scheming and means, Li Ruochu would be in more danger. For the sake of their daughter's future, they could only let her down temporarily. This was a difficult decision, but it was the only way to protect their daughter at the moment.

"I don't know if she will hate us in the future. Before the danger is completely eliminated, we should not make it too public for the time being." Long Tingxiao frowned slightly, with a trace of pain and struggle in his eyes. He knew how much harm this matter had done to Li Ruochu, but reality forced them to have no choice. This was the only way for now, and he only hoped that his daughter would understand their painstaking efforts one day in the future.

Meanwhile, at the Ji family's home, Li Ruochu seemed to have lost all her strength after the Longs left. Her legs softened and she sat directly on the sofa. She stared blankly ahead, tears uncontrollably streaming down her cheeks, soaking her clothes. Her expectations of her biological parents were completely shattered at that moment, and the grievances in her heart surged like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Wuyou, don't be sad," Li Mingzhu gently walked to Li Ruochu, squatted down, gently held her hand, her eyes full of heartache, "In fact, I think they also have their own difficulties, but don't worry, as long as you are willing to stay with us, I can always be your mother." Li Mingzhu knew that the internal relationship of the Long family was complicated and undercurrents were surging. A simple child like Li Ruochu would definitely be hurt if she was in it. Therefore, as long as Li Ruochu was willing, she would not hesitate to love her as her own daughter and give her a warm home.
