"Chen Mei, are you married to Zhen Ting now?" Li Xuejie suddenly asked while drinking tea.
When Chen Mei heard this, her originally smiling face immediately turned into a gloomy one, with tears in her eyes, and she was about to cry.
"Aunt, Brother Zhenting looks down on me." She lowered her head and spoke sadly and aggrievedly.
Li Xuejie's expression turned cold. "He doesn't like you? Then who does he like?"
"He likes my sister Shen Ning." Shen Mei shed tears and wiped them with a tissue.
"Hmph." Li Xuejie snorted, "Men just have no taste. What's so good about that woman? She looks like a country bumpkin, not like a wealthy wife at all."
"But grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt all like her very much. They don't like me. I have had a hard life here these years. Some time ago, I was kicked out of the Li family by brother Zhenting. Today I came here to celebrate grandpa's birthday, and I missed Lanlan so much. But when I came here yesterday, I was almost kicked out by her." Chen Mei wiped her tears again when she said this.
"Why did Zhen Ting want to kick you out?" Li Xuejie's face became more and more ugly. She believed what Chen Mei said. Not to mention her, even she was almost kicked out by her just now. This woman was really arrogant.
"It was that woman who did it. She said bad things about me in front of Brother Zhenting, saying that I was going to harm her children. Brother Zhenting believed her and drove me away. In fact, I never thought of harming the children." Chen Mei burst into tears.
"Don't worry, I won't let you go this time." Li Xuejie's eyes flashed with coldness as he spoke with certainty.
"Really?" Shen Mei's eyes lit up.
"Of course, I keep my word." Li Xuejie gave her an unfathomable look. "If it weren't for me, you would have been out long ago. How could you have stayed in the Li family for six years? But, you haven't lived up to your expectations and haven't given Li Zhenting a son yet. That's why she got the upper hand."
Chen Mei was completely confused, not quite understanding what she heard. However, she could tell that the woman in front of her definitely supported her and was full of goodwill towards her. She didn't need to think too much, as long as she was happy.
"Thank you, auntie, you are so kind to me." Shen Mei smiled, "Auntie, drink the red robe quickly, I will make you another one."
Just then, footsteps were heard in the aisle behind.
Li Jichun supported Li Minhua and walked over slowly.
"Dad, Mom." Li Xuejie looked at the two old people, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she stood up.
Li Jichun raised his eyes to glance at Li Xuejie, but seemed not to see clearly. He took out his glasses and put them on. Soon, the expression on his face darkened.
"What are you doing back here?"
"Dad, I came back to celebrate your birthday." Li Xuejie walked over to Li Minhua and hugged her, "Mom, I missed you."
Li Minhua had already recognized her daughter's voice. Her lips were trembling and her hands were shaking slightly.
It has been almost twenty years since Li Xuejie was kicked out. In the first few years, she cried every day. Later, she stopped thinking about her and didn't ask about her. She just thought she was dead. But she was her daughter after all, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't miss her. She dreamed of her several times and woke up crying, but she just didn't say anything.
Seeing my daughter right in front of me, I was so excited that I never thought I could see her before she died.
"Xue'er, I'm glad you're back." Compared with Li Jichun's strictness, Li Minhua was much more kind.
"Mom, I miss you so much, every day." Li Xuejie hugged Li Minhua tightly, like a newborn baby hugging its mother, crying, "I heard that you had a bad heart some time ago. I was really worried. I wanted to fly back to see you and take care of you, but I didn't dare. Mom, I did something wrong. I'm sorry, I was wrong. I will definitely be filial to you and Dad in the future."
Li Minhua felt distressed and hugged her tightly, choking with sobs: "It's good that you know you were wrong. As long as you correct it, we will be a family from now on."
What she meant was that she forgave her daughter!
Li Jichun remained silent.
