Shen Ning was speechless for a moment and stood there blankly, not knowing how to answer her.
She felt sad and anxious.
What made her sad was that Mr. Li’s illness was so serious, and what made her worried was what should she do?
If she agreed, it would mean that she would have to bring the children back to the Li family, which meant that she and Li Zhenting would have to live together again.
Although it was only during the period when Old Master Li was ill, it was still a long time. Moreover, once she was linked to Li Zhenting, the news media would make a big fuss about it. She didn't like this kind of scandal that was criticized by the media.
But if she doesn't agree, Mr. Li is already terminally ill. Can she refuse?
Her head ached slightly.
"Ningning, I know this is a difficult choice for you. Zhenting has already come to beg you, but you didn't agree. I can understand you. After all, he was the one who wronged you first. Our Li family has wronged you and owes you. It's right for you not to agree, but I have no choice now. The old man refuses to be hospitalized and stays at home every day thinking about seeing his great-grandchildren. I really have no choice. I can't bear to let him not realize his wish before he dies." Li Wanqing shed tears as she spoke.
"Auntie, it's so difficult for me." Shen Ning was very conflicted and painful.
"Ningning, just agree to it. This will be the last time our Li family asks you for help, okay?" Li Wanqing saw that Shen Ning was still hesitant, so she had to move the entire Li family out.
No matter how cruel Shen Ning's heart was, he couldn't refuse Li Wanqing's tears.
"Okay." She finally lowered her head.
"Ningning, you agreed, finally agreed, that's great, thank you." Li Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she held Shen Ning's hand tightly, her eyes full of excited tears.
Shen Ning turned his head away, feeling very complicated.
Soon, Li Wanqing picked up the phone: "Zhen Ting, come quickly to pick up Ning Ning and the children and take them home. She has agreed."
"Auntie, are you leaving now?" Shen Ning asked in surprise after seeing her hang up the phone.
It’s the middle of the night!
"Yes, I'm not afraid to tell you that the old man asks about you and the children every day when he wakes up. We have promised him that you will be back tomorrow, so he will be very disappointed if he doesn't see you and the children when he wakes up tomorrow morning."
Well, Shen Ning has nothing to say.
"There is one more thing, Ningning. Now the old man and the old lady don't know about the old man's condition. We have been hiding it from them. Don't tell them about his condition when you go home. Just say it is a common heart disease and it will get better soon." Li Wanqing then whispered again.
"Okay, I know." Shen Ning nodded.
"Then let's pack up quickly. It will disturb the children's sleep if we stay up too late. I have already packed up over there." Li Wanqing started to pack up.
Shen Ning smiled bitterly when he heard this.
She had even packed up the place for them to live, knowing for sure that she would agree to return to the Li family's old house!
Alas, she was just soft-hearted and was once again manipulated by the Li family.
Not long after, the sound of a car engine was heard outside, and Li Zhenting hurried in with a cold-blooded look.
Li Zhenting looked tired, but in good spirits, especially when he saw Shen Ning, his eyes were as gentle as water.
Shen Ning understood his thoughts, turned away his gaze with a stern face, and just packed up in silence.
"Li Zhenting, I solemnly declare that the reason I agreed to return to the Li family this time was not because of you, but because of your grandfather's illness. I am only staying there temporarily. Please respect me, otherwise, I will move out immediately." After everything was ready and they were about to get in the car, Shen Ning stopped Li Zhenting and said solemnly.
Li Zhenting's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand. Ningning, thank you. Don't worry, I will respect you."
"That's good, you'd better remember it." Shen Ning reiterated expressionlessly.
"Ningning, get in the car quickly, the kids are calling you." Li Zhenting held the umbrella over her head and urged her in a gentle voice.
Before Shen Ning raised his foot to get into the car, he suddenly looked towards the guest room upstairs.
