Inside the restaurant at the Li Family Manor.
The group sat around a huge dining table, which was laden with all sorts of delicious dishes and decorated with fresh flowers.
This was a welcome feast personally prepared by the matriarch of the Li family, and also a rare family reunion meal.
But once everyone arrived, they all tacitly refrained from touching their chopsticks.
Everyone sat in their seats, their lips slightly pursed, saying nothing.
Their expressions looked complicated.
All eyes turned to Liang Xunling.
It's like looking at a complete stranger.
Because Liang Xunling is clearly not the same Liang Xunling as before.
She stood there gracefully, radiating a gentle aura she had never seen before.
Even Li Qirui felt unfamiliar with this aura.
But since he'll be henpecked in the future, he won't say much and can only accept it silently.
Liang Xunling picked up her drink, first offering a toast to Li Qicheng and Zhong Jingyi, and said very sincerely:
"Third brother, sister-in-law, I want to apologize to you first! I was too narrow-minded and intolerant before, so I did some very wrong things. I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance to make amends!"
As she spoke, she turned to look in Xiao Xinyan's direction and smiled gently at her:
"Yanbao, your aunt wants to apologize to you again. It was your aunt who harbored ill intentions towards you, always habitually thinking the worst of you, taking your kindness for granted, and doing and saying many hurtful things. I hope you won't hold it against your aunt and can forgive her. Your aunt will definitely treat you better in the future!"
Upon hearing these words, Li Qicheng, Zhong Jingyi, and Xiao Yanbao all showed expressions of surprise.
They were all stunned!
For a moment, he didn't know how to react, let alone what to say in response to Liang Xunling.
Just as the old lady of the Li family suspected, they also wondered if the car accident had damaged Liang Xunling's head.
If there's nothing wrong with the brain, how could a person change so drastically?
Before they could react, Liang Xunling picked up her drink, tilted her head back, and downed it in one gulp, displaying remarkable generosity.
His three sons were also stunned when they saw this.
When did Mom become so chivalrous?
What kind of impact did the car accident have on my mother?
After finishing her drink, Liang Xunling poured herself another, then raised it to the elders of the Li family and said:
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry! I was too willful before, and I sincerely apologize to you!"
After saying that, Liang Xunling downed a glass of beverage in one gulp under the astonished gazes of everyone.
Then, she continued to say to the old man and the old woman, "During my time in the hospital, I have been thinking about some issues. Ever since I entered the Li family and became their daughter-in-law, you two have always been very good to me, even better than my own parents."
"But I was ungrateful and felt that you were particularly biased towards the second and third wives, and I held a grudge against you. I always did things that were unfair to you two. Looking back now, I was really a bastard!"
“I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I shouldn’t have acted so recklessly, I shouldn’t have been so calculating, I shouldn’t have been so petty in my suspicions about others, I shouldn’t have schemed against my own family, I shouldn’t have rejected Yanbao’s arrival, I shouldn’t have taken my family’s kindness for malice, and I certainly shouldn’t have argued with you two and left the Li family manor so willfully…”
As she spoke, Liang Xunling seemed to be touched; her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face...
Sitting next to her, Li Qirui quickly pulled out a few tissues and handed them to her. He then put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms to comfort her.
After composing herself, Liang Xunling continued speaking to the two elders of the Li family:
"After leaving the Li family manor, I realized who the truly kind people in this world are..."
She paused slightly, her gaze falling on the old man of the Li family, and asked very sincerely:
"Dad, can I go back to the Li family manor?"
She had a quarrel with the old man of the Li family, and in a fit of anger, he kicked her out of the Li family manor.
Now, if she wants to come back, she must get the old man's permission.
The old master of the Li family originally thought that Liang Xunling only wanted to return to the Li family manor by any means necessary, and that he still harbored endless scheming in his heart.
Some even believe that her change in attitude towards Xiao Xinyan was just an act.
But now it seems she really regrets it.
His tearful appearance didn't seem like an act.
If it was really acted, then her acting skills are amazing!
Based on the old man of the Li family's understanding of Liang Xunling, she didn't have such good acting skills; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up being abandoned by everyone.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family was just a bit difficult in personality, but not that scheming.
She often wears her heart on her sleeve, making her easily seen through and easily manipulated.
This is why Liang Xunling is often schemed against by her maternal family, especially her older sister, whose personality is completely opposite to hers.
Her older sister appears to be gentle and kind, but in reality, she is quite scheming.
The old man of the Li family knew very well that the reason why Liang Xunling had become more and more fond of scheming against her family was because of the instigation of her older sister.
The old man of the Li family knew that her older sister was not a good person and could not raise a kind and innocent daughter, which was why he did not agree to Liang Xunling's desire to adopt Gao Kexin.
The glory of the Li family is not something anyone can simply bask in.
"Alright, let's not bring up the past anymore."
The old patriarch of the Li family looked up at Liang Xunling, adopted the demeanor of a patriarch, and said meaningfully:
"Now that you have survived this ordeal, you have been reborn. I hope that you will always be kind and grateful, get along well with everyone, and that family members should love each other, support each other, and treat each other with honesty."
As he spoke, the old master of the Li family also picked up a glass of beverage in front of him, responded to Liang Xunling, and said slowly:
"I kicked you out because you kept clamoring to move out of the Li family manor. Now that you sincerely want to come back, then come back! This is your home after all, and your husband and children need you."
After the words were spoken, the old man of the Li family took a sip of his drink and said no more.
However, the wrinkles between his brows, which he habitually had gathered, were noticeably smoothed out.
Finally, another matter has been settled.
A harmonious family is the foundation of all prosperity!
