Li Xiyue's brows furrowed into a knot. "Mu Cangnan's every action is subject to orders; I can't stop him..."
Her heart sank. She had thought that with her past life's experiences, she could live an easy and successful life in this one, controlling everyone's fate. But now it seemed there were still many unknowns.
She walked back with her hands in her pockets, heading back to the Li family home to pick up her mother.
As she entered the Li family's small building, she saw Li Wenbo in the living room wiping away Cheng Xiaohui's tears with a handkerchief.
Cheng Xiaohui's sobs were choked with emotion; her voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with a desolate sadness that made people feel sorry for her.
Li Wenbo hurriedly apologized, "Xiaohui, it's all my fault! Hit me, hit me, that'll make me feel better!"
Otherwise, I wouldn't have the face to see you and our daughter! I... I really deserve to die!
He punched his chest.
Cheng Xiaohui held Li Wenbo's hand with heartache and said, "It's all Jin Cuicui's fault for being so vicious. Who would have thought she would set up such a cruel scheme! I wonder how many years she will be sentenced to?"
Li Wenbo said, "I think 50 years is too lenient. She should die in prison! She should spend her whole life doing labor reform in prison and never get out!"
When he said the last sentence, his tone became more ruthless than ever before, as if he wished he could kill Jin Cuicui with his own hands.
If it weren't for Jin Cuicui, how could he have been separated from his wife and children, and even married Mu Jiuhong and had Li Yan!
Li Xiyue strode over and said, "Mom, it's getting late, we should go!"
After she finished speaking, she reached out and pulled her mother's arm.
When Li Wenbo saw that Li Xiyue was about to take Cheng Xiaohui away, he hurriedly said, "Yue'er, isn't this your home? Why are you leaving?"
The house your mother lives in now is too small, damp, and dark. Your mother's health isn't good; that house isn't suitable for her.
He didn't dare to force Cheng Xiaohui to stay, but he really wanted to keep her, so he came up with a seemingly reasonable excuse.
Li Xiyue said, "That house is too damp and too dark, and it never sees sunlight all year round."
I know I've wronged Mom. Once I earn money, I'll buy her a new house.
Li Wenbo was startled. It wasn't that he was afraid Li Xiyue would buy a house; he was afraid that Li Xiyue would never let Cheng Xiaohui come back!
He watched as Li Xiyue pulled Cheng Xiaohui away, then he chased after her and knelt down with a thud. “Yue’er! Daddy was wrong, Daddy knows he was wrong!”
Can't you forgive your father? I'm willing to spend the rest of my life making it up to you and your mother!
When Cheng Xiaohui saw Li Wenbo kneel down, she quickly reached out to pull him up, saying, "Get up quickly, you can't kneel because of your old knee problem!"
"You injured your knee in the countryside back then, and the doctor said you needed to take extra care of it! Otherwise, if your knee is crippled, you won't be able to walk."
Li Wenbo remained kneeling, refusing to get up. "Without you, without Yue'er, what's the point of my life? I truly know I was wrong, can't you forgive me?"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "I forgive you! Get up now!"
She pulled Li Wenbo up with all her might.
Honey Baby rolled its eyes in the virtual space and complained, "Cheng Xiaohui is too easily swayed and too soft-hearted. She just forgave her so easily!"
Li Xiyue's voice echoed back into the space, "Actually, I know my mother forgave Li Wenbo a long time ago, but she knows I haven't forgiven him, which is why she unconditionally stands by my side..."
No one knows a mother better than her daughter. She knew that what Cheng Xiaohui wanted to do most in her life was to clear her name about her affair back then and return to Li Wenbo's side.
Now all the misunderstandings have been cleared up, Jin Cuicui has been arrested, Li Wenbo knows he was wrong back then, and Cheng Xiaohui has long wanted to return to Li Wenbo's side.
Whether in her past life or this one, she has always adhered to one principle: be kind, but never let others bully you!
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Yue'er, I believe your father really knows he was wrong, let's give him a chance!"
"When the Mu sisters came over just now, didn't you go and tell them that we weren't leaving the Li family's place?"
She looked at Li Xiyue with an expectant expression, her eyes full of pleading.
Li Xiyue said, "I did it to spite Mu Jiuhong and Mu Jiuchun, not because I really wanted you to live in the Li family."
Besides, Mu Jiuhong is not divorced yet. If you return to the Li family, it will be improper and your reputation will not be good!
If Li Wenbo truly realizes his mistake and wants to make amends, he should quickly divorce Mu Jiuhong.
Then, we'll have a grand wedding banquet and go through the remarriage procedures together!
Li Wenbo nodded and said, "Yue'er is right. How could I forget that? If we bring you back now, it won't be good for your reputation."
Even if I were to bring you back, I should bring you back in a grand and glorious manner!
Xiaohui, I'll have to put up with this for a few more days. I'll be going through the divorce proceedings with Mu Jiuhong in the next few days, and then I'll be going through the remarriage proceedings with you!
I'll throw a big banquet and borrow a car from your workplace to pick you up and take you home in style!
Cheng Xiaohui's eyes glistened with tears of excitement. She had waited and suffered for half her life, but hearing Li Wenbo's words today made it all worthwhile!
She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! I'll be waiting!"
Li Xiyue took her mother's hand and led her away from Li Wenbo's house.
Cheng Xiaohui waved goodbye to Li Wenbo, turning back every few steps, urging him to hurry back.
Li Wenbo followed slowly behind the mother and daughter, reluctant to go back.
Li Xiyue sighed in the space and said, "Fine, if Li Wenbo can really do it, I'll let Mom go home."
Honey asked, "You forgave him?"
Li Xiyue said, "I haven't forgiven him. I just don't want my mother to be sad anymore."
Obedience is filial piety. Since Mom feels this is the life she desires and that makes her happy, then I will unconditionally stand by her side. Just like how she insisted on not returning to the Li family for my sake.”
Mi Bao said, "Yes, that makes sense. Yue'er, you're so kind. Do you forgive everyone who sincerely repents?"
Li Xiyue said, "That's not necessarily true; it depends on what mistake he made."
A look of sadness flashed across Mi Bao's eyes. Would Yue'er forgive it?
Li Yin spent 5 cents to take the bus to Mu Jiu Hongniang's house.
Mu Jiuhong didn't expect Li Yin to find her so quickly. Standing at her door, she said, "You've been released? So fast?"
Li Yin's face was as cold as ice as she looked at Mu Jiuhong. "What? Didn't expect me to come so quickly? You think I don't know about what you promised Jin Cuicui?"
You won't let me in? You mean we have to stand here and talk about you and Jin Cuicui?
Don't look at me so defensively. I'm useful to you. I have some news for you: Li Xiyue has seduced your younger brother.
