Chapter 1320 I Want to Change My Mother (14)
"Li Shichu, could you please not be so...direct when you speak? It's very hurtful..." He Chaoyan said, covering her heart with her hands, looking as if she was hurt by her.
Li Shichu couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm just so blunt and made you sad, but I didn't expect a big lawyer to be so sensitive."
He Chaoyan smiled and said, "Yes, I am hurt by your words. Why don't you comfort me and peel an apple for me?"
"Why eat an apple? It's too hard. Aren't you afraid of it stretching your wound?" Li Shichu retorted.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't I chew it up before eating it?" He Chaoyan looked at Li Shichu as if he was an idiot.
Li Shichu smiled slightly and continued to step on her sore spot: "You actually don't have a single friend, how pitiful."
He Chaoyan sneered: "Don't tell me you have any friends?"
Li Shichu was stunned and speechless by her words. She looked at He Chaoyan with unfriendly eyes, but when their eyes met, the two women realized something at the same time and burst into laughter. However, the joy turned into sorrow. He Chaoyan laughed too wildly and accidentally moved the wound, causing her to hiss in pain.
After she recovered, she collapsed on the hospital bed with a helpless look on her face and said, "It seems that neither of us has much friendship, so I will be kind enough to be your friend."
"I think it's you who wants friends?" Li Shichu exposed her.
He Chaoyan sighed and said, "Actually, I had friends when I was studying, but later everyone started working and gradually drifted apart. I still have some fake friends, but they value my family background more. At the critical moment, they are not as reliable as you, a fruit seller. At least if my family goes bankrupt, you won't turn around and step on me, but they will definitely add insult to injury."
Li Shichu shrugged: "Then you are really pitiful."
"Hmph, I have parents, younger brother, daughter, money, beauty and career, how can I be pitiful? I think you are the one who is pitiful, right?" He Chaoyan rolled her eyes.
"I am indeed quite pitiful. Both my parents are dead. My aunt and uncle wanted to exchange me for a high betrothal gift, so I ran away on my own." Li Shichu nodded and said, "I am so pitiful. You have to take care of my business in the future."
She was so frank that He Chaoyan felt embarrassed, thinking that she had hit her sore spot. She said uncomfortably, "My daughter likes your fruit so much, so of course I have to help your business more. By the way, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you."
Seeing her say these words awkwardly, Li Shichu couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Okay, I'll rely on you from now on."
As the two were talking, He Chaonian walked in with Youyou.
"Mom! Are you feeling better today?" As soon as the chubby girl came in, she ran to He Chaoyan's bed with her short legs and asked with concern.
He Chaoyan smiled like a flower when she saw her daughter, and replied softly: "Yes, I feel that the wound doesn't hurt anymore. It must be because Youyou blew on my wound yesterday, and the pain flew away..."
"Then mom, let me blow you again?" the little fat girl said very attentively.
"Okay." He Chaoyan really lifted up her hospital gown, revealing the bandage on her abdomen, and really let the chubby girl blow on her.
He Chaonian took a look at the interaction between the mother and daughter, and said to Li Shichu: "Thank you for coming to accompany my sister to relieve her boredom. If she is alone, she will easily have wild thoughts."
Li Shichu walked out of the ward and said, "It seems like every time you see me you just thank me. Do you have nothing else to say to me except thank you?"
He Chaonian paused, touched his nose, and said, "Because you really helped us a lot..."
Li Shichu couldn't help but look at him and found that his handsome face actually had obvious dark circles! Although this didn't affect his appearance much, it was still very sad for Li Shichu, who was obsessed with appearance, to see a flaw on his beautiful jade.
"You haven't rested well recently. Are you worried about your sister?" Li Shichu asked. After He Chaoyan was retaliated against, he was the only one who was busy running around. He had to deal with his sister's revenge, take care of his niece, and balance work... No wonder he looked haggard.
He Chaonian nodded helplessly, leaned against the wall, and rubbed his forehead with his hand. "The person behind the revenge on my sister has not been caught yet. I'm afraid he will be desperate and continue to come to the hospital to look for my sister."
Li Shichu paused, but couldn't help asking him, "Where's your brother-in-law? Is he dead?"
He Chaonian choked, looked at Li Shichu with a smile, and said, "He's not dead. He's on a business trip abroad and hasn't come back yet."
Li Shichu looked incredulous: "His wife was stabbed and is almost dead, and he is still on a business trip abroad and not coming back? What is he waiting for now that your sister is not going to kick him?"
He Chaonian smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I didn't tell him because I was about to kick him."
Now it was Li Shichu's turn to be choked. After a while, he said, "Even if we want to divorce, we should tell him about such a serious matter, right? After all, we haven't divorced yet."
"My sister won't let me tell him." He Chaonian said, "The relationship between the two of them is very complicated. I can't figure out what they are doing, so I have to let He Chaoyan do whatever he wants."
Li Shichu couldn't understand it. He Chaoyan was such a beautiful woman with a good family background, career and beauty. What kind of man would ignore her excellence and want to divorce her?
"What kind of person is your brother-in-law? Why is he willing to divorce your sister?" Li Shichu finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked He Chaonian.
He Chaonian paused, looking at the curiosity and gossip in Li Shichu's black and white eyes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "My brother-in-law is a... a typical business elite. He has been outstanding since he was a child. He is self-disciplined, restrained, rigorous, and wise. He is highly expected by everyone and has lived up to everyone's expectations. He is a young talent praised by everyone, but his personality is too cold. It seems that nothing can affect his emotions. He is like a robot."
Li Shichu imagined that the beautiful He Chaoyan and a cold iceberg, both of them seemed to be very strong people, maybe their personalities were incompatible?
"My sister thought he was too old-fashioned and boring, so she moved out of the house with the little fat girl." He Chaonian added.
Li Shichu suddenly realized. She had said that although the community where she lived now was considered a good place, given He Chaoyan's family background, there were obviously better options, but she chose to live here. It turned out that it was because she was separated from her husband.
"Are they getting married?" Li Shichu couldn't help but ask.
He Chaonian thought for a moment before saying, "That shouldn't be the case, right? They knew each other before, and although their families have suggested that they get in touch, their families won't force them to get married if they don't want to."
