Hypocritical Husband Pretends to Be Affectionate? Divorcing in the 80s to Marry Up

In her previous life, Su Li lived simply. Her husband, Shao Ting'an, was gentle and refined, and they were an affectionate couple praised by everyone. Her student Zhao Xinran, whom she treated ...

Chapter 139 Su Danian raised his hand

Su Li pulled Liu Cui'e twice but she refused to get up, so she stopped forcing her.

After putting Liu Cui'e's luggage aside, Su Li sat down in the living room. When Liu Cui'e had cried enough, Su Li handed her the tea.

"Sister Liu, drink some water. It's already happened. There's no point in you confessing here."

Su Li has been in Daliushu Village for more than a year and lives closest to Liu Cui'e, so she knows a little about Liu Cui'e's character.

Although she was not a wicked person, she was not someone who would suffer losses if she was easily talked to. Su Li was mentally prepared for this.

Liu Cui'e wiped the tears from her face and choked up, "Li girl, I just feel so sorry for you. I feel really bad. You've helped me a lot over the years, but Xinran is so ignorant."

Su Li looked calmly at Liu Cui'e, "Sister Liu, since you already know everything, I don't need to hide it from you anymore. It's not Xinran's fault alone that the two of them did this under my nose."

Su Li looked at Liu Cui'e's tired and haggard appearance. Although she felt resentful, she also felt a little reluctant. She must have suffered a lot on the way here by begging.

"Sister Liu, go wash up first. I'll buy you something to eat."

Liu Cui'e felt anxious when she saw that Su Li didn't want to talk. Shao Ting'an was arrested, so what would happen to her daughter for the rest of her life?

But there is really no good way at the moment. Su Li is a soft-hearted person, and you can't use force on her. If she hadn't grasped Su Li's soft-heartedness and gratitude over the years, how could she have sent money to herself every year.

Liu Cui'e hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up and said, "Li girl, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Su Li watched her go into my bathroom and buy two dumplings from a nearby restaurant. She couldn't go hungry in the middle of the day on such a happy day, so she had to eat some dumplings to celebrate.

Su Li came back with dumplings. Liu Cui'e had already washed up, and her dark face had become much whiter.

She looked at the steaming dumplings, her eyes almost shining, and she suddenly pounced forward, grabbed a dumpling, and started eating it voraciously.

Su Li sat aside, looking at Liu Cui'e's appearance, and couldn't help feeling sad.

Memories came flooding back like a tide. I once ran in the rain all night to search for Shao Tingan. After I came back, I developed a high fever and was drowsy and unconscious.

It was Liu Cui'e who took the trouble to stay by her bedside and brought her a bowl of steaming cornmeal porridge and a steamed bun. The warm food, like the warm sun in winter, dispelled the coldness in her body and warmed her heart.

After Liu Cui'e had eaten and drunk her fill, she felt much more energetic. There was less weakness and helplessness in her eyes, and more shrewdness and toughness.

She stared straight at Su Li and said, "Girl Li, I know that damned Xinran made a big mistake, but she is my flesh and blood after all. I really can't bear to see her ruined like this."

As she spoke, she leaned closer, her voice rising slightly. "Please forgive her for the fact that I took care of you for a whole day and night without food or drink to save you, and even gave you the only white flour bun in our house. She told me everything in the letter, and she realized she was wrong and wanted to make amends."

There was a hint of firmness in her tone that brooked no refusal, and her words implicitly reminded Su Li of her past kindness.

When Su Li heard this, her brows furrowed slightly. Liu Cui'e's help back then was real, and how could she easily forget those warm past times? But she had already repaid the kindness of the past.

I can't confront her head-on right now. After all, it's not her fault, and it's understandable that she's worried about her daughter.

Zhao Xinran’s matter is somewhat tricky. Now I have to stabilize Liu Cui’e first and not let her make a big fuss here and ruin my plan.

Seeing that Su Li didn't respond, Liu Cui'e thought things had turned around and continued, "Li girl, Xinran is young and naive. She has a long life ahead of her. If she gets criticized for this, how will she live? She's the hope of our family. She's about to graduate and start working. If you enroll her in school and she can't graduate, it'll be the end of our family."

She had a pitiful look on her face, and as she spoke she rolled her eyes at Su Li. Her restless eyes were filled with shrewd calculations, and she used both kindness and force.

Su Li took a deep breath and smiled, "Sister Liu, I understand what you said. I've always remembered what happened back then. Xinran hired someone to beat me up and drug me, but I can let it go for your sake. You stay here first. When I see Xinran, I'll tell her you've arrived."

Liu Cui'e breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Su Li say that she could let it go. "Okay, I really can't walk anymore. I'll rest for a night and go to school to find that damn girl tomorrow morning."

Su Li sneered in her heart, but still maintained a gentle expression on her face. Once Shao Tingan's investigation made progress, Zhao Xinran's actions would be exposed sooner or later. By then, she would have to suffer the consequences.

After settling Liu Cui'e, Su Li returned to the hospital. Today was worth celebrating after all, especially for those who had been following her around all this time.

Before she reached the ward, she heard laughter from inside.

"Hey, seeing that bastard kneeling on the ground today, I feel much better."

"What a jerk! Today is the most embarrassing day of his life."

"Auntie, didn't you see he was covered in cold sweat, his hair was wet, and sweat was running down his face?"

"You must be so nervous to sweat so much."

Su Li thought about how Shao Ting'an was kneeling on the ground with cold sweat pouring down his face, and she felt extremely relieved.

"Everyone seems to be having a good time. I'll treat everyone to another good meal tonight to cheer you up."

She spoke suddenly, and the people in the room were caught off guard and startled.

Liu Guilan was also very happy. She heard her daughter speak cheerfully and wondered if she was really happy.

"Girl, you spoke suddenly and scared me."

Wen Yu couldn't help but tear up when she saw Su Li. "You've really grown up. You've become more careful. You didn't say a word when such a big thing happened."

Su Li took her sister-in-law's arm and said with a smile, "I'm doing great things quietly."

As she spoke, she looked at her father. It would be perfect if her father could wake up.

Su Li was feeling sad, but she saw Su Danian raised his hand.

She was stunned for a moment, and seeing that her father's hand was still half raised, she slowly stepped forward and said, "Mom, look at my dad's hand."

As her voice trembled, everyone looked at Su Danian.

Su Li stepped forward and held her father's hand, her voice tinged with tears, "Dad, Dad, are you awake?"

Su Danian did not open his eyes, but the hand held by Su Li clearly responded with force.

"Brother, Dad reacted. He held my hand tightly."
