Chapter 1323 I Want to Change My Mother (17)
Li Shichu still refused with a heart of stone. He Chaoyan sighed and accepted the reality helplessly.
"Shichu, Youyou's father is back." He Chaoyan suddenly said this.
Li Shichu nodded and said, "He came back, and then what? Did you reconcile with him?"
"Of course not! How is that possible!" He Chaoyan retorted repeatedly, "He's a scumbag, why should I reconcile with him? He just can't bear to be kicked out by me, so he comes to quarrel with me."
Li Shichu, who had heard everything outside the ward, looked at the woman who said one thing and meant another, but did not expose her. Instead, he said, "He is such a scumbag. You are injured so badly and still lying on the hospital bed, and he actually quarreled with you. He is indeed a man without conscience. It is the right thing for He Chaoyan to kick him out."
He Chaoyan felt guilty when she heard Li Shichu's indignant words. After all, Chu Yan was not as heartless as she said...
"So when will you decide to divorce?" Li Shichu asked directly, "Divorce is something that should not be dragged out."
He Chaoyan said: "I will leave you after I recover from my injury and am discharged from the hospital."
"Then after you get divorced, let's have a good meal together to celebrate your being single again."
Li Shichu and He Chaoyan chatted about all sorts of things, without any particular topic, but He Chaoyan began to daydream. After a while, he suddenly asked Li Shichu, "Aren't you curious about why I and Youyou's father are going to divorce?"
"I'm curious, but this is your privacy. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask you." Li Shichu replied.
He Chaoyan had a conflicted look on her face, but she finally said to Li Shichu, "Chu Yan and I were introduced by our families. We have known each other since childhood, but we were not very close. After I met him on a blind date, I found that he was self-disciplined, hardworking, and devoted all his time to work. He was much better than other playboys, so I agreed to marry him."
Li Shichu listened to her carefully. This was almost the same as what He Chaonian had said to her. "And then?" she asked.
"Then after giving birth to Youyou, I realized that he was not actually indifferent to everyone..." He Chaoyan said with a bitter smile, and her bright face seemed to dim a little.
"Could it be that he has an unforgettable old lover? Even though he married you and had a daughter with you, he actually had no feelings for you, only responsibility, and the person he loved most in his heart was another woman?" Li Shichu guessed.
"How do you know?" He Chaoyan looked at Li Shichu in surprise and asked in disbelief.
Li Shichu couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I guessed it. Your brother said he was a workaholic and kept himself clean. You also said he wasn't indifferent to everyone. Then you must have seen him being indifferent to someone, and this person made you care a lot. So I just made a random guess based on the most common bloody stories, and I actually guessed it right."
She was speechless as she spoke. Is there really nothing new under the sun?
He Chaoyan was choked by her words and was speechless. He opened his mouth and finally said with a wry smile: "So what I encountered is very common? I thought I was the only one who encountered this kind of pain..."
Li Shichu stepped forward, held her bright face, and said to her seriously: "He Chaoyan, you have such a beautiful face, you should be full of energy and radiant, not like now, like a resentful woman."
He Chaoyan was stunned when she heard her words. After a while, a tear slid down from the corner of her eye. She wiped it away quickly, then put on a smile and said, "Li Shichu, you are right. I, He Chaoyan, have a good family background, good looks, and a successful career. I should be in high spirits. I shouldn't be the one trapped by love. I was possessed by the devil and almost became the person I looked down upon before. Shichu, thank you for waking me up. In addition to love, there are many other feelings in life that are worth cherishing. I shouldn't worry about a relationship that is about to become a thing of the past."
She seemed to have broken free from some restraints in an instant, and her whole face was radiant. It was as if the previous loss and resentment had never appeared. It seemed that she had completely let go of Chu Yan.
However, Li Shichu felt a little guilty. She had a hunch that Chu Yan and He Chaoyan were not at the point where they had to separate. Maybe Chu Yan could save the relationship if he tried harder? Unexpectedly, her casual words made He Chaoyan realize that... if she caused Chu Yan to lose his wife, would Chu Yan come after her?
I hope Chu Yan can be more helpful, Li Shichu thought without much hope. Chu Yan's quiet personality seems to make it difficult for him to win back He Chaoyan who has let go of him, right? Li Shichu was a little troubled.
But she didn't dare to do anything. After He Chaoyan figured it out, she really relaxed a lot and her injuries healed quickly. Although Chu Yan still came to her from time to time, she no longer quarreled with him. Every time she discussed the post-divorce matters with Chu Yan calmly, and such a calmness made Chu Yan panic, because it meant that she was not throwing a tantrum, but was serious about the post-divorce matters with him...
Therefore, Chu Yan was very anxious. He put his work aside and often stayed in the hospital with He Chaoyan. When Li Shichu went there, he saw him several times acting humble in front of He Chaoyan and coaxing her in clumsy ways.
Li Shichu didn't want to disturb his marriage rescue plan, so he almost never went to the hospital to see He Chaoyan again.
Youyou, on the other hand, has become much more lively recently, probably because her father has returned. When she is with Li Shichu, she says "Dad" more and more often.
"Youyou, do you like your dad very much?" Li Shichu asked her.
"I like her a little bit, but I still like my mother the most." The chubby girl immediately restrained the smile on her face and answered seriously.
"It's okay to like him a lot. He is your father and loves you as much as your mother." Li Shichu rubbed her little head and said. For some reason, Youyou always seemed to feel that her mother was the weaker one and needed her protection. She couldn't "like" her father more because it would mean betraying her mother.
Li Shichu didn't know what she had experienced at home that caused her to have this illusion, but this was not normal. The marriage status of He Chaoyan and Chu Yan had obviously affected the child.
"No! Dad likes others more than me and Mom, so I can't like him too much..." The little chubby girl looked a little sad.
Li Shichu looked at He Chaonian who was standing outside the door. He Chaonian had obviously heard what his niece said, and the expression on his face suddenly became much more serious.
He Chaonian looked at Li Shichu and shook his head at her. Then he quickened his pace and called out in a brisk voice, "Youyou, your uncle is here to pick you up."
Youyou jumped up from the ground in an instant, her expression immediately changed from sad to joyful, she rushed towards her uncle with a big smile: "Uncle!"
