Chapter 563 I'm Sorry
When Li Yiqiu got in the car and saw Zhong Nianyao sitting inside, his eyes flickered and his mood was mixed.
"What? You didn't say hello?" Zhong Nianyao put down her phone, looked at Li Yiqiu who was getting in the car, and said with a smile, "No matter what, your little son was able to recover because of me. Even if it's just for face, you should at least say thank you to me!"
"Thank you?" Li Yiqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. "You forced me to make a choice, and now you want me to go and explain it to Mengxuan in person. You're basically putting me on the spot. Do I even need to thank you?"
"Didn't you start it?" Zhong Nianyao rested her hands on her knees, supporting her chin as she looked at Li Yiqiu with a nonchalant smile. "Everyone has their own bottom line. You should know that Grandpa and Grandma are my final bottom line."
After coming to this world, the first people who treated her well unconditionally were Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong. It could be said that these two people were her Achilles' heel.
Li Yiqiuqian shouldn't have used these two elderly people to threaten her. Now that she had spoken, she had to bear the consequences.
She felt that what she did was kind enough.
Li Yiqiu pursed her lips, her eyes filled with regret. In the end, she still said nothing.
The car arrived at the detention center quickly.
In the visiting room of the detention center——
Li Yiqiu seemed a little restless.
As soon as she thought about what she was going to say, she couldn't sit still. She almost couldn't believe that if she said those words, would Zhong Mengxuan still recognize her as her mother in the future.
However, at this point, it was no longer under her control. She had already made her choice, and her son had taken the medicine and recovered. If she regretted it at this moment, who knew what else Zhong Nianyao would do!
She had only mentioned Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong, and yet she was retaliated against by Zhong Nianyao. If she suddenly regretted it now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not long after, Zhong Mengxuan was brought in.
As soon as she came in, Zhong Mengxuan only had Li Yiqiu in her eyes. She threw herself into Li Yiqiu's arms and kept crying, "Mom, you are here to save me, right?"
"I don't want to stay in this damn place any longer. You and Dad must have found a way to save me, right? This place is so narrow and small, and the food here is not even fit for human consumption. If I continue to stay here, I'll go crazy soon."
At this moment, Zhong Mengxuan was filled with grievances. Her only thought was to leave the detention center as soon as possible.
From childhood to adulthood, she had lived a life of luxury. She had never experienced the hardships of life since she was born. Yet, now she was being sent to a detention center.
The past few days had been like years for her. She couldn't even imagine how horrible it would be if she continued to stay in such a place.
Now she really regretted it. She regretted that she had acted impulsively and tried to kill Zhong Nian Yao with a dagger.
However, what she regretted was not the incident itself, but the consequences it brought her.
Zhong Mengxuan was completely immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice the stiffness of Li Yiqiu's body at all.
Facing Zhong Mengxuan who threw herself into his arms, Li Yiqiu really didn't know how to talk to her for a moment.
She could tell that Zhong Mengxuan must have suffered a lot of injustice in the past few days. If she told Zhong Mengxuan now that she would have to live like this for a long time in the future, she couldn't imagine how Zhong Mengxuan would react.
Zhong Mengxuan was still crying and complaining about her grievances, but Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but speak.
"Second aunt, aren't you going to tell her?"
Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Yiqiu with a smile on her face, and emphasized the words "second aunt" in her words, as if with a hint of sarcasm.
It was at this time that Zhong Mengxuan noticed that in addition to Li Yiqiu, there was also Zhong Nianyao in the reception room.
Looking at Zhong Nianyao, who was dressed simply but looked radiant, a hint of jealousy flashed in Zhong Mengxuan's eyes.
However, after so many things, she had learned her lesson and didn't say anything right away. Instead, she gave Li Yiqiu a questioning look.
Indeed, she was very puzzled by Zhong Nianyao's presence here. However, at the same time, a faint hope rose in her heart. Perhaps her parents had persuaded Zhong Nianyao to not pursue the matter. So, was that why Zhong Nianyao appeared here today?
If this is true, can she leave this damn place today?
When she thought of this, Zhong Mengxuan's eyes lit up, and when she looked at Li Yiqiu, the urgency in her eyes almost became tangible.
Facing Zhong Mengxuan's expectant eyes, Li Yiqiu dodged a little and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yiqiu pulled Zhong Mengxuan and sat down. After considering for a moment, he spoke, "Mengxuan, you're a child now. Everyone must pay the price for what they've done. Do you understand?"
Hearing what Li Yiqiu said, the anticipation in Zhong Mengxuan's eyes disappeared, replaced by invisible panic. She couldn't help but reach out and tightly grasp Li Yiqiu's hand, saying in a trembling voice, "Mom, you...what do you mean? You...didn't you come to rescue me today?"
"Mengxuan, I--" Li Yiqiu looked up and when he saw Zhong Nianyao's face, all the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything for a while.
"Second Aunt!" Zhong Nianyao raised her voice directly, "Don't forget the purpose of your visit today. At this point, you should tell her the truth so that she will give up."
Zhong Mengxuan held Li Yiqiu's hand tightly and stared at her closely.
"Mengxuan." Li Yiqiu gritted her teeth, and in the end, all she could say was just one sentence, "I'm sorry."
sorry!
As soon as these three words came out, Zhong Mengxuan's heart sank. Her eyes were red and she gritted her teeth. Finally, she spoke, "Mom, what do you mean? You and Dad are not going to take care of me anymore, right? You're going to let me continue to suffer in a place like this, right?"
Li Yiqiu looked up and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't know what to say. She kept repeating the same sentence, "I'm sorry!"
