Unwilling to dwell on those regrettable past events, Jing Li withdrew her memories of her previous life and began to focus on eavesdropping.
Strange, there is no record of an older brother in the original owner's memories. Where did this older brother come from?
"Forget it... Mom, how long are you going to keep deceiving yourself? If she really wanted to treat your illness, how could she have dragged it out until now? In the past six months, has she even come to see you once, not even once!"
Although this person speaks harshly, what he says is indeed the truth.
Jing Li sighed inwardly, fearing that Jing Yu would never have dreamed that her last meeting with her children would be half a year ago.
In the novel, the original owner went into hiding after the NP incident, refusing to see anyone. Before things had even calmed down, she chose to jump to her death from the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in Yanjing.
After she was completely taken off the show, the novel never mentioned the storyline of the original evil protagonist again.
"mom."
Having made up her mind to turn over a new leaf and start anew, Jing Li pushed open the door and entered.
The woman on the old sofa was filled with surprise. She stood up excitedly and instinctively reached out to serve her daughter, "Little Koi, what brings you here!"
Jing Yu's appearance is not as refined and sexy as Jing Li's; in fact, it can be described as ordinary.
She wore faded clothes, her temples were gray from years of hardship, and she looked sickly thin and frail from the torment of illness.
Moved by the scene, Jingli couldn't help but think of her mother in the original world, and a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
"Mom, you can just sit down. I'm a grown man, how can I let you serve me?"
With a bright smile, she refused Jing Yu's offer to put on her slippers, quickly took off her own shoes, and helped Jing Yu walk to the sofa.
It has to be said that the original owner was really terrible; she didn't have the life of a princess, but she had an extremely serious princess syndrome.
She was waited on hand and foot at home, never did any housework, and even had Jingyu serve her. She even had Jingyu do small things like taking off her shoes for her. She treated her mother like a servant and would curse and slam the door if things didn't go her way.
The old men and women in the pavilion were right. If she had a daughter like that, she should just strangle her. There would be no way she could cause any trouble.
"I haven't had any performances these past few days, and I just happened to get a call from the hospital saying they've found a suitable kidney for you, so I went home for a visit..."
Before Jing Li could finish speaking, the man on the sofa, dressed in a bespoke suit and clearly of noble birth, sneered.
Who is this?
Considering that the other party treated Jing Yu well, Jing Li didn't lose her temper. Besides, this was indeed the original owner's fault. Even if she didn't do it, now that she was Jing Li, she should take the blame.
“Oh, he is Shen Yuanfan, the eldest son of your father’s old comrade-in-arms. He is seven years older than you. We lost contact for many years after your father died, and we only met again half a year ago. If you are willing, you can call him brother.”
"Brother Yuanfan, hello. My mother has been so well taken care of by you all these past six months."
Jing Li greeted Shen Yuanfan warmly with a smile.
"Oh."
Shen Yuanfan gave a cold laugh, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at her, showing no respect.
"I just heard at the door that you were planning to take my mother to the hospital. Could you tell me which hospital it is, and what the equipment and medical conditions are like?"
Jing Li didn't mind and asked in a gentle tone.
A hint of doubt flashed in Shen Yuanfan's eyes. This woman didn't seem as bad as the rumors suggested.
Or perhaps it was because she saw his car downstairs and his clothes that she was deliberately trying to be friendly?
That's really... despicable!
