Liang Feng's words seemed to be deliberately meant for Liang Xunling, but when they reached the ears of the other members of the Li family, their expressions turned rather unpleasant.

Liang Xunling was even more embarrassed, and her face turned dark.

She stood there somewhat awkwardly. Although she was now the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, due to the influence of her original family, she was always a little timid in front of Liang's parents and did not dare to refute what they said.

Just then, the old man of the Li family slammed his walking stick on the floor with a little force, and the sound successfully attracted everyone's attention.

The old man had a powerful aura, commanding respect without needing to be angry.

Liang Feng's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of awe.

The old man of the Li family gave a polite smile and said:

“My dear in-law, why do you have to say such things right off the bat? Our Li family has never said anything like you are not allowed to visit your daughter.”

As he spoke, the old man of the Li family paused slightly, chuckled softly, and said meaningfully:

"However, you seem to have arrived a bit late. It would have been more appropriate for you to visit Xunling earlier."

Upon hearing this, the Liang family members' expressions turned grim.

They weren't fools; they naturally understood what the old man from the Li family meant.

If they truly wanted to visit Liang Xunling, they should have done so while she was hospitalized after the car accident, instead of waiting until she had recovered and been discharged for some time before coming to see her.

Everything seemed so cold and deliberate.

"us……"

Liang Feng, his face dark, was about to respond when Li Shuping interrupted him.

Seemingly worried that Liang Feng might speak too bluntly and say something inappropriate that would offend the Li family patriarch, Li Shuping quickly smiled apologetically and said:

“Father-in-law, please don’t misunderstand! It’s not that we didn’t want to visit Xunling, it’s just that we were dealing with a lot of troubles at home at that time and simply couldn’t get away. Xunling is, after all, our own daughter, how could we not love her?”

As she spoke, Li Shuping turned to look at Liang Xunling and asked her:

"Xunling, you should be able to understand your parents and not blame them, right?"

Li Shuping said this with a smile on her face, but it sent a chill down Liang Xunling's spine and made her feel a little scared.

She knew perfectly well that when her mother spoke to her with that smile, she was actually threatening her.

Li Shuping often acted like this when she was little.

Liang Xunling remembers very clearly that her good friend gave her a very beautiful pen on her birthday.

She happily took the pen home, but her older sister, Liang Yueling, took a liking to it and naturally asked her to give it to her.

Liang Xunling disagreed, so her older sister Liang Yueling hit her.

Feeling extremely wronged, Liang Xunling had no choice but to tell her mother, Li Shuping, about the incident, hoping to get her mother's help. However, her mother completely favored her older sister, saying things like:

She's your own sister. What's wrong with giving your own sister your pen?

It's just a pen, why are you treasuring it like this?

Your sister is using one of your pens now, but she might return several to you in the future!

Because that pen held a special meaning for Liang Xunling, and because Liang Xunling was stubborn at the time, she refused to give the pen to her sister no matter what.

So the older sister, Liang Yueling, used her foolproof trick: she started crying, which broke Li Shuping's heart.

In order to make her eldest daughter happy, Li Shuping completely disregarded her younger daughter's feelings and used her maternal power to force Liang Xunling to give her birthday present to her older sister Liang Yueling.

Back then, when Li Shuping threatened her, she had the same faint smile on her face as she does now.

But in Liang Xunling's eyes, this kind of smile was even more terrifying than a fierce and menacing look.

The same thing happened more than once.

In order to make her eldest daughter and youngest son happy, Li Shuping threatened Liang Xunling more than once.

The impact of her childhood left Liang Xunling with severe psychological trauma, and the desire to gain the love of her father and mother became something she was determined to pursue.

That's why she spared no effort in providing financial and physical support when her family needed help.

But... she still didn't receive the attention of her father and mother.

"I……"

Liang Xunling's body trembled uncontrollably, and she dared not utter a single word in rebuttal to her mother.

Just then, Li Qirui arrived at Liang Xunling's side, put his arm around his wife's shoulder, and pulled her into his embrace, giving her a sense of security.

Li Qirui looked up at Li Shuping, his gaze calm and his face expressionless, and spoke softly:

"Excuse me, father-in-law and mother-in-law, my wife hasn't fully recovered from the car accident. I'll take her downstairs to rest first. Please make yourself at home!"

After saying that, Li Qirui completely disregarded the other person's feelings and expression, and simply turned and left with Liang Xunling.

He knew very well that Liang Xunling didn't really want to see her family members right now.

Li Qirui's actions successfully made the Liang family members look embarrassed.

But in the eyes of the Li family, Li Qirui did something really cool!

"Wow! Uncle was so cool just now! He's amazing for protecting his family in such a crucial moment!"

Even Xiao Yanbao couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
