Chapter 296 I'm back, what should my cousin do? [19]

Zhao Mingxue's thoughtfulness and attentiveness allowed Li Chu to adapt much faster than she had imagined.

In the bathroom, the bathtub was filled with warm water, milk, and soothing essential oils.

Zhao Mingxue suggested that Li Chu take a bath first to relieve his fatigue from the journey.

As Li Chu soaked comfortably in the bathtub, feeling drowsy, a sense of confusion arose in her mind.

After the Li family learned that she was her mother's biological daughter, their enthusiasm and affection for her were genuine, and she could clearly feel their sincerity.

But why was the Li family so indifferent to her in her previous life when she was only five years late in returning?

She was sent to a sanatorium, and none of the Li family members visited her.

She had never even met the Li family!

Could it be that during those five years, Li Pan'er developed a deeper bond with them?

Li Chu couldn't understand it, but at this point, the Li family probably couldn't give her the answer to her past life either.

When Li Chu came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, she found that Zhao Mingxue was still there!

Not only that, she also had her maid bring her some food.

Upon seeing Li Chu, Zhao Mingxue smiled and invited her over to eat.

Li Chu was indeed quite hungry. Although she had eaten on the plane, she got hungry again very quickly.

She walked over and sat down at the small table.

Zhao Mingxue sat next to Li Chu, watching her eat and talking to her.

They asked Li Chu what she liked to eat, whether she preferred salty or sweet food, and whether she could eat spicy food.

Li Chudu answered each question in turn.

"Auntie, I don't really have any favorite or disliked foods, as long as it can fill my stomach, it's fine with me."

"Both savory and sweet are fine."

"I can eat spicy food too. Once when I was harvesting chili peppers, I was so hungry that I couldn't resist eating a raw chili pepper. The spiciness made me feel less hungry immediately."

Li Chu's answer left Zhao Mingxue speechless several times.

She found it hard to imagine that Li Chu meant that as long as she could fill her stomach, that would be enough.

Even more unimaginable is that she was so hungry that she ate raw chili peppers, and the spiciness made her lose all feeling of hunger...

What kind of day was it exactly?!

Zhao Mingxue looked at Li Chu with heartache in her eyes: "It's okay, our chef can cook all kinds of dishes. Chu Chu can try them slowly and she'll find some she likes and some she doesn't."

"We will never go hungry again. We can eat whatever we want, and we won't eat whatever we don't want."

Li Chu looked at Zhao Mingxue with sparkling eyes: "Okay!"

After Li Chu finished eating, Zhao Mingxue chatted with her for a while to help her digest, and then told her to go to sleep for a bit.

Lying on the soft mattress that supported the curve of her back, Li Chu thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, she fell asleep shortly after closing her eyes.

But Li Chu was just dreaming again.

She dreamt of the time in her previous life when she had just been brought back to Beijing.

She looks at herself and the people around her from a God's-eye view.

Li Chu felt that the version of herself in her dream was very unfamiliar; looking at her was like looking at someone else.

It turns out that she wasn't quite mentally stable at that time; she would occasionally have a seizure and occasionally regain her senses.

Most of the time, she gets a seizure when she sees a man.

She screams and goes crazy whenever a man, or even a short-haired woman, gets close to her, and may even scratch herself frantically.

Li Chu saw it; it turned out that the Li family had come to see her, but it happened to be when she fell ill.

She also saw that Li Pan'er had bribed her doctor to ask the Li family not to visit her, saying it would upset her.

As a result, the Li family only dared to peek at her from outside the ward each time.

Li Chu also saw that Li Pan'er used her to gain many benefits from the Li family.

In her dream, not long after her death, the Li family finally uncovered the truth of what happened back then.

I knew Li Chu would turn out that way, it was all Li Pan'er's fault!

They were extremely resentful and saddened, and launched a frenzied revenge against Li Pan'er and Xiao Chenghai.

But Li Pan'er had already been on guard against them.

At that time, Li Pan'er's fiancé, Jiang Yixing, had already inherited the Shen Group.

Jiang Yixing is a very ambitious and arrogant person. He believes that the Shen Group will definitely be better in his hands than when Shen Wangqing was in charge.

Li Pan'er stole Li Group's trade secrets several times and gave them to Jiang Yixing.

Jiang Yixing, together with the rivals of the Li Group, launched multiple attacks and encirclements against the Li Group.

Adding to the chaos, the eldest uncle of the Li family was seriously ill, and the eldest uncle Li Zhiyun died in a car accident. The third uncle was arrested for killing Xiao Chenghai. The Li family was in complete disarray.

Later, Li Chu disappeared from sight.

But she always felt that the Li family's fate wouldn't be good.

This dream felt like it was answering Li Chu's questions.

This made her realize that in her previous life, the Li family had not ignored her.

Having lost her memories, Achu naturally had no idea that these things were transmitted to her by the system through dreams.

When Li Chu woke up, she found that she had slept until after four o'clock in the afternoon!

She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went out of the room.

As soon as Li Chu stepped out of the room, she saw Zhao Mingxue coming over.

Zhao Mingxue came to see if Li Chuxing was awake. Upon seeing her, she smiled and said, "Chuchu is awake."

When Li Chu saw Zhao Mingxue, she couldn't help but think of her from her past life in her dream. Because of Li Zhiyun's death in a car accident, her originally black hair turned gray overnight, and she looked haggard and sad.

Li Chu suppressed her mixed emotions and called out, "Auntie."

Zhao Mingxue smiled and responded, then walked over and naturally took Li Chu's hand, asking her, "Did you sleep well?"

Li Chu nodded, her smile sweet and shy: "I slept very well, the bed was so comfortable, I slept for so long without realizing it."

Zhao Mingxue: "Soon, Chuchu, you woke up just in time."

After a pause, Zhao Mingxue seemed to be choosing her words carefully before continuing, "Chuchu, your great-uncle called Xiao Chenghai this afternoon."

Fearing that Li Chu might not know who Xiao Chenghai was, Zhao Mingxue explained to her, "Xiao Chenghai is your maternal grandfather."

Li Chu nodded: "I know, he's the one who took my cousin away."

Zhao Mingxue: "Yes, it happened five years ago. Your great-uncle and the others wanted to question him in person, so they called him to come to the Li family."

Moreover, they didn't tell Xiao Chenghai that they brought Li Chu back to catch him off guard and see if he would reveal any flaws.

Because Xiao Chenghai brought back a fake granddaughter, the Li family now has a lot of suspicion about him.

Zhao Mingxue said, "He will be here soon."

"Hmm...he will also bring Li Pan'er with him."

Upon hearing Zhao Mingxue say that Li Pan'er would also be coming, Li Chu's eyes flickered.

She imagined the scene of meeting Li Pan'er after arriving in Beijing.

She never expected that she would be able to see Li Pan'er so soon!

I wonder if Li Pan'er will recognize her quickly when she sees her?

What kind of expression will they have when they recognize them?

They'll definitely be shocked, right?

Li Chu's eyelashes trembled, concealing the obviously abnormal excitement and anticipation in her eyes.

When Li Chu looked up again, his expression had returned to normal.

She looked at Zhao Mingxue, seemingly a little uneasy, and asked, "Aunt, I'm back. What should we do about my cousin?"
