Shen's mother stared blankly at Li Shuhe, feeling that something about her was different.
In the past, Li Shuhe's affection for Shen Qingwen was always evident in her eyes, almost overflowing.
No matter how badly the Shen family treated her, she would eventually endure it.
When faced with a problem, her first reaction is to think about where she went wrong and then correct it.
But today, she actually used the word "charity" to humiliate the Shen family.
"If there's nothing else, please leave."
After Li Shuhe finished speaking, she turned back to look at Chen's mother and urged everyone to continue eating.
Chen's mother knelt on the ground, unable to understand what had gone wrong.
A moment later, she knelt up again, tugging at Li Shuhe's clothes and pleading, "Shuhe, you can't be so heartless. Qingwen hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days because of you, and he's lost a lot of weight. Even if you look down on me and our Shen family, please forgive him for Qingwen's sake!"
Mr. and Mrs. Li respected their daughter and had remained silent until now.
But as Shen's mother's words became increasingly outrageous, Li's father immediately slammed his hand on the table, and someone walked in from outside.
"Take her out."
The guards, one on each side, supported Chen's mother's arms and led her outside.
Mother Shen wanted to throw a tantrum, but she still had the injuries from Father Shen's kicks on her body, and every movement caused her excruciating pain.
All I could do was cry out, "Ouch, ouch!"
Just as the door to the private room was about to close, Chen's mother shouted at Li Shuhe, "My Qingwen drank pesticide for you! Li Shuhe, do you really not care at all?! You are heartless! Your Li family is a bunch of wolves and dogs! He's about to die, and you won't even go to see him one last time?!"
The door closed, but the faint sound of Shen's mother could still be heard.
"If my son dies, it's because your Li family forced him to. My Shen family will not have peace, and we will not let you get away with it..."
Father Li's face was ashen, clearly angered by Mother Shen.
Once the private room quieted down, Li Shuhe was the first to laugh, "Dad, don't be angry, it's not worth it for someone like that."
Li Shuhe knew very well that Shen's mother was only good at talking.
Mother Li patted Father Li's hand under the table, signaling him not to lose his composure with so many people present.
Father Li forced a smile. "Yes, everyone, let's eat."
After finishing their meal, Li Shuhe told everyone to leave first, while she and Xu Ruantang stayed behind to pay the bill.
Chen Jihe, Li Shuyang, and Xu Hanli did not leave.
After paying the bill, Xu Ruantang went to find Li Shuhe and discovered her standing at the restaurant entrance, looking absent-minded.
"No, I have to go see him!"
As if she had made a decision, Li Shuhe lifted her foot to leave, but Xu Ruantang grabbed her arm.
"Shuhe, don't go."
Xu Ruantang is the only outsider who knows the truth.
These days, she watched Li Shuhe smile at everyone during the day, pretending that nothing was wrong.
I couldn't sleep at night and would hide under the covers and cry secretly.
Shen Qingwen went on a blind date. It wasn't that she had no feelings for someone; she was just trying hard to keep quiet and not show it.
She was like a gambler, her stakes being Shen Qingwen's heart.
If Shen Qingwen wavers even slightly during the process, it will be the end for her and him.
Every night, Li Shuhe would think about what she would do if she really lost the bet.
People who are deeply in love often feel that they cannot live without their partner.
Life would then have absolutely no meaning.
Li Shuhe is the same.
"Ruan Tang, I have to go. Didn't you hear what that woman said? He's in the hospital now, and he might not make it."
Li Shuhe burst into tears, crying uncontrollably.
Xu Ruantang sighed, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears, gently comforting her: "No, you have to trust Shen Qingwen, he can handle things properly."
"But he's going to die, he's going to die."
Li Shuhe wouldn't listen at all. "What's the point of all this if he dies? How could he be so stupid? How could he be so stupid?"
Li Shuyang and Xu Hanli exchanged a glance.
Neither of them could quite understand what Xu Ruantang was saying to Li Shuhe; it was as if they were speaking in riddles.
"Just bear with it a little longer. You two have done so much for each other, and victory is just around the corner."
Xu Ruantang patiently advised, "If you go, whether he really drinks the medicine or not, it will all be for nothing."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuhe trembled and stopped struggling.
"Shuyang, take your sister home and keep an eye on her. Don't let her run around."
Xu Ruantang said to Li Shuyang.
Although Li Shuyang didn't understand what they were saying, he still obediently nodded and said, "Okay."
After hearing what Xu Ruantang had just said, Li Shuhe stopped insisting on going to the hospital, but she still stood there blankly, refusing to leave.
Xu Ruantang sighed and compromised, "How about this, you go back first. I know Chen Ji well, so I'll have Xu Hanli help out. No matter how late it is, he'll let you know when he gets back to the compound. Is that alright?"
Li Shuhe suddenly looked up and gazed at Xu Hanli with pleading eyes.
Xu Hanli frowned almost imperceptibly, then quickly nodded, "Don't worry, I'll go check it out. You go home and get some sleep. The other person isn't acting strangely."
After Li Shuhe left, Xu Hanli asked Xu Ruantang, "Why didn't you let her go see Shen Qingwen? What were you two talking about?"
"She and Shen Qingwen are not divorced."
Xu Ruantang spoke calmly, but Xu Hanli was so shocked that he couldn't come to his senses.
"They're not divorced?! That Shen family kid is going on blind dates every day, it's the talk of the town."
Xu Ruantang's car was still parked in front of the store, and the three of them walked side by side toward the clothing store.
On the way, Xu Ruantang explained the whole story.
Initially, Li Shuhe approached Shen Qingwen with the intention of divorcing him.
Shen Qingwen absolutely refused.
Following Xu Ruantang's advice, Li Shuhe gave him one last chance.
They initially announced to the public that they had divorced.
When Shen Qingwen's mother saw that he had gotten divorced, she started thinking about finding a new wife for her son.
During this process, Shen's mother gradually realized that her son was not that popular.
My previous understanding gradually crumbled.
With the opening of the clothing store, the Shen family discovered that Li Shuhe was doing even better than before after leaving Shen Qingwen.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Shen family will definitely send Shen Qingwen to find Li Shuhe to get back together.
Xu Hanli couldn't help but interject, "Shen Qingwen's mother just knelt down, why don't you take the opportunity to remarry?"
Xu Ruantang smiled and said, "If it's so easy to go back, what's the difference between that and not asking for a dowry the first time you get married? Your family will just think that Shuhe is easy to manipulate and won't cherish her in the future."
People only cherish things that are hard-won.
Xu Ruantang sighed.
So this time, we're going to make the Shen family suffer enough so that they'll be afraid Li Shuhe will leave Shen Qingwen in the future.
Seeing Li Shuhe reminds everyone that bullying her will only lead to a precarious existence, and only then will the Shen family learn their lesson!
