Chapter 287 The adoptive mother regretted it

Li Xiulan didn't sleep all night last night. She regretted it. When she was bargaining for the price, she did think about the pain of living alone until the end of her life. The child she raised no longer belonged to her. She felt unwilling and angry in her heart. She just wanted to make up for it, so she wanted money. Only with money could she raise the child again. She couldn't live without a child. She was a little paranoid and extreme at that time.

But when she really calmed down and looked at Lin Mei's things at home, she thought of the happiness that Lin Mei brought her. Thinking of the relationship of more than ten years, her heart felt empty. The more time she was alone, the more she recalled the past.

She seemed to have aged several years that night. She regretted it, really regretted it. When she saw Lin Mei again, she wanted to tell her that she actually loved her in her heart, and everything that happened yesterday was just a momentary impulse.

But when Lin Mei saw Li Xiulan running over, she quickly got into the car and asked Lin Jianye to drive faster. She didn't want to talk to Li Xiulan. She couldn't accept the thought that the person she regarded as her biological mother had sold her out.

Lin Jianye also knew what the children were running away from, so he quickly got into the car and drove away from Sandagouzi Village.

Li Xiulan chased for a long distance, but how could anyone catch up with the car?

She watched the car disappear from her sight, and her heart felt as if it had been drained out, so uncomfortable that she felt suffocated.

Qin Zhi had just seen Li Xiulan running out. Not knowing what was going on, he followed her out. Seeing Li Xiulan hunched over on the side of the road, gasping for breath, he hurried over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Xiulan straightened up and said, "I saw Zhaodi, but I didn't catch up with her."

Qin Zhigang sighed when he heard this. "What can I say to you? You see, she has rich parents, there's no way she'll recognize you. Her family isn't a pushover either, so don't even think you can still have a relationship with her."

Li Xiulan shook her head and wiped her tears: "I regret it now. I don't want money anymore. I don't want anything. I just want Zhaodi to still talk to me."

"I told you, from the moment we asked for the money, everything was different. We didn't get the money, but the relationship was gone too. Stop overthinking it. Let's sell the house and move, then adopt another child. This time, we must adopt a boy and raise him from a young age. It's better not to contact them. If we keep in touch, who knows when they'll let it slip, and then we'll have raised a child for nothing."

"But Zhaodi was raised by me with great effort. She can't be so cruel to me. I believe she still has good things for me in her heart."

"You're not done yet, are you? Go home quickly and don't let anyone see you and make a fool of yourself."

"Let it be a joke. I'm so tired these years. I don't care what others say." Li Xiulan's face was ashen. She was different from Qin Zhigang. She had been taking care of Lin Mei since she was a child, and they were together every day. Qin Zhigang was a man. At most, he would come back to play with the child, but he didn't put much effort into raising the child, so the feeling was different.

Especially when Lin Mei came, she was five years old, and there was no need to get up in the middle of the night, so Qin Zhigang didn't know how difficult it was to raise a child.

But Li Xiulan's relationship with Lin Mei was different. She was the one who took her daughter to school for the first time, attended her first parent-teacher meeting, got her first vaccination, participated in her first sports meet, had her first period, and witnessed and accompanied many firsts. The more she thought about these things, the more she missed Lin Mei.

Qin Zhigang ignored what Li Xiulan said and pulled her home. He wanted a son now. Since his daughter was gone, he had no other thoughts and wanted to move house quickly to get a boy. Not getting the money from the Lin family was what annoyed him the most in the past two days.

The couple's minds were completely different at this time, but they both had the same idea about adopting another child.

When Lin Xiaoxia and her friends returned to the city, they first registered Lin Mei's household registration and changed her name and birthday.

Because they had a party yesterday, Lin Xiaoxia did not go home with her parents today. She asked them to take Xiaoya back to have a good rest while she went to the store because the new store was about to open and she couldn't let Sun Qiang be busy all by himself.

Lin Jianye sent her to the barbecue restaurant, and then they went home.

When Lin Xiaoxia arrived at the store, Sun Qiang was there, so the two of them went to the new store.

The new store has been renovated and the interior layout is in the same series as the current store, so it is not difficult.

Sun Qiang is optimistic about the future and plans to open both stores next weekend.

Lin Xiaoxia had no objection to this. She thought it was a good idea to open two stores together because they were far apart and would not affect each other much.

These three stores are located in three prosperous areas of Lingyuan City. If another one is opened, it will be the provincial capital.

After agreeing on this, Lin Xiaoxia followed Sun Qiang to the bath center. Construction had already started there, but the progress was still unclear, so they just went to take a look.

Lin Xiaoxia was happy just looking at this place. She would buy more land when she made money in the future and work in real estate. Although she didn't know much about it, she could just hire professionals if she had the money. She could make money with her eyes closed.

She talked a lot about business with Sun Qiang, and then talked about Shi Liang. This was easy, just go to the hotel as an apprentice, and when she was free, tell the chef. After saying this, Lin Xiaoxia went home.

On the way, she also calculated her time and what she would do next.

There is still more than a month left before the night college exam. She plans to start studying in the library every morning starting tomorrow. She doesn't need to find a tutor, it is enough for her to study on her own. If she doesn't understand something, she can discuss it with Lu Jingshen.

As for Lin Mei, I have to find a tutor for her on weekends, and she can just go to the library with me on weekdays.

After she is admitted to night university, she will have to start setting up a graphic design studio, and she can ask An Ning for help then.

As I was thinking, I arrived home.

Just as she took out the key to open the door, He Xiangju came out and knelt beside Lin Xiaoxia: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please beat me up, I was wrong."

Lin Xiaoxia frowned and looked at He Xiangju: "Are you sick? Go do what you need to do."

He Xiangju reached out to hug Lin Xiaoxia's thighs: "Sister-in-law, please save me, I can't live anymore."

Lin Xiaoxia kicked He Xiangju away: "Why would you care about me if you can't survive?"

He Xiangju really has no choice now. Liu Hao has given her a final ultimatum: divorce in three days. He asked her to pack up her things in the next two days and then divorce her.

He Xiangju has tried all the methods she can. She has invited everyone she can from her family, and everyone who can mediate has also come. Liu Hao is now determined to get a divorce, and nothing anyone says can help.

Her only hope now is Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen. This time she really came to beg Lin Xiaoxia because she had no other way out.

She cried with snot and tears: "Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong. Please help me this time. Can't I be your slave in the next life?

Lin Xiaoxia smiled. "Even if you really worked like a slave for me, I wouldn't dare use you. You have so many ulterior motives and are so dark. I always thought I was pretty good at judging people, but I was wrong about you. At first, I almost treated you as my own. Fortunately, you showed your true colors quickly. You don't have to beg me. It's useless. I told you, you got a divorce on your own initiative. Even without these things, you wouldn't have lived long. You think too much."
