A fire in the villa burned Lu Wanqing and her husband alive. As she died, she felt a fierce struggle in her belly, her three precious babies... Who could be so cruel? She roared in despair...
Seeing his father fall, Lin Ye quickly went to support him.
Soon, Wen Li was rushed into the emergency room and revived, then transferred to a regular ward.
Mu Chengyi drank some sugar water and gradually woke up after a brief period of unconsciousness.
So much happened today, and he hadn't eaten all day, so he was feeling a bit weak.
But upon learning that Wenli had escaped danger, he forgot about eating and rushed to find her.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoting was lying on the edge of her bed, sobbing softly, filled with self-reproach.
"It's all my fault. I'm unfilial. I shouldn't have made you sign any divorce papers!"
She was filled with deep regret. Her mother was such a proud and aloof person, and she always doted on her stepfather. It was clear how much she loved him. How could she just push him away like that?
Mu Chengyi looked at the person on the bed whose eyes were still closed, and tears streamed down his face.
He went to the bedside, sat on the bed, picked her up, and held her close to his chest, murmuring, "How could you be so foolish? I never said I wanted a divorce. I will not get a divorce!"
In fact, he had been thinking about this issue for the past six months. If he had no feelings for Wen Li, he wouldn't have needed to be so conflicted and could have just gone back to Zhao Xiaolan.
However, after more than ten years of living together, sharing a bed and having similar interests, they had long been accustomed to each other's presence. If Wenli were not there, it would be more painful than having his heart ripped out.
“I will not sign the divorce agreement. Our son is yours and mine. Lin Ye is already living in a broken home, and I can’t let him see his parents divorce,” Mu Chengyi continued.
Their son, Mu Xiaohui, is bright and clever, and excels in his studies. His teachers especially like him. After graduating from elementary school, he was admitted to the best junior high school. Today is the weekend, and he is going to his teacher's house for tutoring.
"You know what? I was a very good student when I was little, but because my family was poor, I had to go back to farming early. After we got married, you bought me a lot of books and found me a job at a printing factory. From that time on, I absorbed all the knowledge I had been looking forward to learning, like a sponge..."
“We talked about poetry and literature, and we discussed philosophical questions together. Although I have no memories of the past, it was the happiest time of my life.”
"Xiaolan doesn't want me anymore, you can't abandon me too... Let's go back to how we were before, okay?"
Mu Chengyi cried uncontrollably.
From the moment he received the divorce papers, his heart ached, and he thought about confronting Elaine Chao and Lin Ye.
Unexpectedly, Elaine Chao spoke first, which strengthened his resolve to be with Wen Li.
"I know you made a mistake when you were young, keeping me by your side. We'll atone for the sins you committed against Xiaolan together. Please wake up!"
Mu Chengyi became more and more panicked as he spoke. The doctor had just said that if the patient could wake up within six hours, it would mean that everything would be fine; otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
Family members can speak to her to rekindle her will to live!
As time ticked by, Mu Chengyi kept talking in her ear, but she seemed oblivious, not even blinking.
Mu Xiaoting wiped away her tears and decided to go find Zhao Xiaolan.
The root of this matter lies in the feud between the three of them when they were young, so it would be best to have Elaine Chao come over and forgive her; perhaps then she will wake up.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Mu Xiaoting's analysis, Zhao Xiaolan not only refused to help, but also angrily said, "You have to make Wen Li come and apologize to me in person before I can forgive her. Otherwise, I will never forgive someone who stole my husband!"
I really want to ask her, why didn't you send Baoguo back in the first place? Why?
Because of his disappearance, the elderly in my family died from illness caused by grief, and I almost went insane. What right does she have to decide Baoguo's fate?
After hearing Zhao Xiaolan's story, Mu Xiaoting felt extremely ashamed and went back to her mother to cry and complain.
Unexpectedly, after she finished relaying Zhao Xiaolan's message, Wen Li's eyelashes fluttered, as if she wanted to open her eyes.
Mu Chengyi, who had been watching her every move closely, noticed the change with delight and frantically called for the doctor to come over.
The doctor gave Wenli another injection, and after a while, Wenli really woke up.
When Wen Li woke up, she saw that Mu Chengyi's eyes were red. She grabbed his hand and kept apologizing.
"Cheng Yi, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. If I hadn't been so selfish, you wouldn't have to suffer all of this!"
"Lili, don't say anything more. Rest well first, and we can talk slowly when you've recovered. I will never leave you."
Wen Li was still worried. She threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed. "I'm going to find Xiao Lan and apologize to her!"
"Lili, your body..." Mu Chengyi pressed her down onto the bed.
Wenli, however, went mad, pounding her head in an attempt to lessen the gravity of her sins.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaolan was helped into the ward by Lu Wanqing.
"Wen Li, I've come here in person. I'd like to hear how sincere your apology is."
Elaine Chao appeared calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
She knew that Wenli had been stubborn since childhood, and if she didn't resolve her inner conflicts, she might still take her own life in the future.
Looking at Zhao Xiaolan, whose appearance was still fresh and beautiful, Wen Li suddenly smiled wryly, "Cousin, you are still so beautiful!"
One sentence takes us back more than 20 years to when Wen Li, Zhao Xiaolan's cousin, was only 18 years old and was taken to the countryside by her parents.
That one and only time drastically changed her fate.
At that time, Lin Baoguo was digging ditches near Zhao Xiaolan's house when Zhao Xiaolan and Wen Li, who were playing outside together, saw him.
He was wearing a t-shirt, had a buzz cut, and was wielding a hoe. Beads of sweat slid down his bronze skin, making him look incredibly sexy and charming.
Wenli had the idea of bringing him water, but she was wearing a beautiful dress and leather shoes, and her parents would scold her if she got them dirty, so she asked Zhao Xiaolan to deliver them to him.
Without thinking twice, Zhao Xiaolan handed Lin Baoguo water, ignoring the mud on the ground and the jeers of the crowd.
It was probably on that occasion that Lin Baoguo noticed the beautiful and gentle Zhao Xiaolan.
Even though Wen Li spoke to him many times, his attention was only on Zhao Xiaolan.
Later, Wenli went back with her parents and heard the news of Lin Baoguo and Zhao Xiaolan's marriage. She was so angry that she never wanted to have anything to do with Zhao Xiaolan's family again.
Wen Li quickly found someone to marry and gave birth to Mu Xiaoting.
However, her husband was neither as handsome nor as considerate as Lin Baoguo. He also frequently abused her and eventually died in an accident while working outside.
