"Don't talk about this anymore." Old Master Li said, "We can see what you are thinking. After all, there is no fool in this family."
"Who doesn't have some little thoughts? We understand that you have some thoughts, but the premise is that you don't sacrifice the people in this family to satisfy your own thoughts."
Hearing this, Li Yunshu's face, which was streaked with tears, turned even paler.
"Dad, I didn't." Li Yunshu denied weakly.
"You really don't have it?" Mr. Li looked at her and asked.
Li Yunshu lowered her head under the old man's scrutinizing gaze.
Mr. Li continued, "Over the years, you have been trying to bring your elder brother and your sister-in-law together, and your elder brother has refused no less than ten times. You are still trying to bring them together. Isn't it just to satisfy your own little thoughts?"
Li Yunshu: "I see Guofang is infatuated with Brother Xiao, and Brother Xiao is alone and lonely, so..."
"But your brother has clearly refused many times. If you really want to do good for your brother, you shouldn't try to bring them together overtly or covertly!" Mr. Li's voice became louder.
In fact, Mr. Li and his men have been dissatisfied with this matter for a long time, but they only made it clear today.
Li Yunshu stammered and whispered, "I, I will never match people up again."
Mr. Li: "Although Zhenzhen has lost her mother, she still has her father, Brother Xiao. She doesn't want to date someone now! If she wants to date someone in the future, your brother Xiao will make the decision for her, and there is no need for you to interfere."
Li Yunshu: "I will definitely not interfere in the future."
Even if Li Zhenzhen married the old girl in the future, she wouldn't care at all.
"And." Old Master Li looked at Li Yunshu and said, "I know that you have been our daughter for so many years. Now that our biological daughter has suddenly returned, you must be feeling a little uncomfortable..."
Li Yunshu immediately retorted: "Dad, I didn't. Shushu got it back. I'm really happy for you."
Old Lady Yu looked at her adopted daughter and said, "Yunshu, we have eyes. Shushu is back. We can tell whether you are happy or not."
"At the family reunion party, you mistakenly thought Shushu couldn't dance, but when Shushu and Zhenyuan entered the dance floor, you cheered everyone for a warm welcome. Didn't you want everyone to see Shushu make a fool of herself?"
"I……"
"Don't rush to refute." Old Mrs. Yu stretched out her hand. "We didn't tell anyone that Shushu was divorced, and that she lived on the streets and was a beggar when she was a child. But when your eldest brother and sister-in-law introduced her to someone, why did someone know about it and even use it to laugh at Shushu?"
Wanzhen told her these things after the banquet.
"Mom, what do you think of what I said?" Li Yunshu looked wronged.
Old Mrs. Yu asked back: "Isn't it what you said?"
Li Yunshu: "It's not just our family that knows about this, don't Aunt Mu and the others know about it too?"
"Your Aunt Mu has been with me all the time, and your Uncle Gu and Zhenyuan are not talkative people. If we don't say it among our family members, they won't reveal a word to the outside world."
It was only after she and Wanxing discussed it together that they realized that this matter was told by their adopted daughter Li Yunshu!
Li Yunshu: "Will I reveal it?"
Old Mrs. Yu: "Then let me call and ask the people who attended the party, did they hear it from someone?"
When Shushu helped her onto the stage, some people in the audience were talking about how Shushu was divorced!
“…”
Li Yunshu stopped talking, and after a long while she gritted her teeth and said, "I thought there was nothing to say."
Old Mrs. Yu: "Since you think it's unspeakable, why did you deny it when I asked you?"
Li Yunshu: “…”
Old Lady Yu continued, "You know very well what to say and what not to say! Why do you want to say it? What is the purpose of saying it? You know it in your heart, and we know it in our hearts too."
Li Yunshu lowered her head and pressed her forehead, her voice choking as she said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I, I just saw how well you and Dad treat Sister Shushu, and I felt a little jealous. I was also afraid that you would no longer want me as your adopted daughter after you had Sister Shushu, your biological daughter, so I..."
Since there is no way to deny it, the only thing to do is to admit it.
"As you know, I lost my parents when I was very young. Although you adopted me and made me your daughter, we are not related by blood, so I never feel safe in this family."
Old Master Li said, "The fact that we are not related by blood is unchangeable! But since we adopted you, we have never treated you as an outsider, and we have never treated you unfairly. Your mother and I have a clear conscience about this."
Although Li Yunshu didn't think so in her heart, she nodded and said, "I know that my parents and brother are very good to me and have never treated me badly. The lack of security is my own problem."
Old Lady Yu said, "You said you were jealous of Shushu and worried that we would no longer want you as our adopted daughter after we had Shushu. In fact, the one who should be most jealous and afraid is Shushu."
"You grew up under our love and care, never suffered, received a good education, have a respectable job, and have been with us for more than 40 years. But what about Shushu?"
"She doesn't have any of these things you have!"
"Shouldn't she be jealous of you, who grew up happily and healthily under our care, went to school, has a decent job, and a happy family?"
"Are you afraid that we prefer you, an adopted daughter who seems to be better than her and has a relationship with her for more than 40 years?"
"..."Li Yunshu was stunned by the question.
Ah, the one who should be jealous and afraid should be Li Yunshu.
Old Mrs. Yu took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "Shushu has suffered a lot over the years. She is our biological daughter. We love her, but we also feel guilty about her. We want to make up for the regrets of the past forty years and don't want her to suffer any more grievances."
"We will treat her very well. In order to make up for the forty years we have missed, we may even focus all our attention and energy on her and ignore you and others."
"You are also a parent, I hope you can understand our feelings."
Li Yunshu nodded stiffly, "I, I understand enough. I will never be jealous of Sister Shushu again. I will treat her well with you."
Old Mrs. Yu said, "I don't need you to be nice to Shushu. You just need to be able to live with Shushu and her family. If you can't do that, then try your best to get along with her."
The flesh on Li Yunshu's cheek twitched. Try your best to get along with each other, then let her come back to this home!
After all, she is married and has a family, while Li Yunshu is divorced and often lives in her parents' home.
They have been together for a long time, and only she has come back.
"I will definitely do it!" Li Yunshu said in a resounding voice.
