BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2824 - 2822
How could she forget her resolute words that day?
‘Shuman, are you sure you won’t regret your choice today?’
‘I won’t regret it. I’ll never regret it in my entire life.’
‘Alright, then your ex-mother-in-law wishes that you’ll be able to live a good life. From now on, you have nothing to do with our Xia family. If you regret it, please keep it to yourself.’
‘I won’t regret it. I, Xiao Shuman, will never regret my choices.’
“It’s good that you said that. Go, go.” The old madam waved her hand, indicating for the medical staff to carry the stretcher and leave.
Madam Li followed closely, afraid that she would be forced to stay.
Just as she stepped out of the main hall, she heard the old madam instruct the people around her, “Go and tell Old Li that his daughter has left. If he’s sincere, he’ll have to come over. If he’s not, then forget it.”
“Yes, Old Madam,” Aunt Fang replied softly, just enough for Madam Li to hear.
Madam Li, who was wearing high heels, slipped. Her body tilted fiercely, and she left the Xia family with a dark look in her eyes.
She didn’t believe that her father would really come!
But Old Master Li really came with his second wife. When he received Li Chenglan’s call, he glanced at his second wife, who didn’t even dare to make a sound. He sneered and said, “This woman is really impressive. She even has a grandchild who’s four or five years old. She’s been a grandmother for four or five years, but she still doesn’t have a brain.
“Li Chenglan, you’ve embarrassed yourself outside, but you still made me, an old man who has one foot in the grave, have to go and express my apologies. You’re really capable.”
Madam Li was not surprised at all. She put on earphones, and her eyes were dark as she said, “Dad, you know that I’m already a grandmother. Your words are too unpleasant!”
“So, you remember that you’re a grandmother? Is the Xia family a place for you to show off? Do you think that just because your man is the staff officer of the General Staff Department, you can stick your nose in the air?
“Do you think that just because you’re on good terms with the Qin family, you can talk tough?
“Are the Qin and Xia families existences that can be toyed with by you? Are you so capable? Are you able to make these two old families listen to you and obey you?”
“Li Chenglan, you’re 62 years old this year, right? You’re not 26 years old. If you can show off in front of others, that’s your ability. I don’t care.
“But you’ve embarrassed yourself in front of the other old families here and caused a huge disaster. Even if you’re 82 years old, as long as I’m alive, you’ll have to humble yourself!”
Madam Li, who was no longer elegant, was furious. She pulled out the earphones and threw them on the passenger seat. She stared at the red light with a sinister gaze. As the red light changed, a disdainful smile appeared on her face.
If her father wanted to embarrass himself at the Xia family’s residence, she would let him.
The Li family was just her maternal family, and her own family was the Du family. As long as her husband rose, her son made a name for himself, and her daughter married into a wealthy family, she, Li Chenglan, would fulfill her wish in life.
The car drove into the busy city, and the red-painted door of the Xia family slowly closed.
The old madam was helped back to the chair by Xia Jinyuan. With a tired expression, she sighed softly and patted Xia Jinyuan’s arm. She said kindly, “Little Six, I was too soft-hearted and made you suffer grievances today. She won’t come again in the future. Don’t worry anymore.
“As for Li Chenglan, you have to pay more attention to her. She’s ruthless. In the past, she was openly ruthless. Now that she’s old, she’s hiding her ruthlessness inside. You have to be careful, especially of her family.”
