Chapter 117 I am not the one taking shelter from the wind, Hong Kong is me
the next morning.
In the VIP ward of Beiling Central Hospital, a woman's soft sobbing could be heard vaguely.
"Xiao Zhi, it's all mom's fault. Mom shouldn't have interfered in your marriage, let alone set up a match between you and the third child of the Zhou family without your consent."
When Yan Lan unexpectedly learned that her daughter was probably still alive, she immediately sent someone to inquire about her.
The chicken soup on the bedside table was still steaming. Facing his grieving and painful biological mother, Li Fei's eyes were like frozen lakes, without any ripples of emotion.
She was half leaning on the hospital bed, listening to what she had to say with a calm expression.
"My mother is relieved to see that you are fine. You don't know, they all said you were dead. I couldn't sleep all night long. My daughter just came back to me. How could she leave me so cruelly?"
"As long as you are alive, that is more important than anything else. Mom will never force you to do anything you don't want to do again..."
Yan Lan saw that her daughter's forehead was wrapped with gauze and there were some bruises on the back of her hands. Tears could not stop flowing from her eyes, and the guilt deep in her heart was even more unspeakable.
"Mrs. Yanlan."
Li Fei frowned lightly, feeling a little headache, and her cold tone interrupted her endless confession and apology: "I'm a little tired, you should go back first!"
"Xiao Zhi, what did you call me?"
Yanlan was obviously surprised by the sudden change of name for her daughter. Her expression was slightly stiff, and the sadness was visible in her tearful eyes.
"I'm mom, how can you...call me with such an unfamiliar name?"
The cold "Mrs. Yanlan" sound was like a sharp thin blade piercing deeply into her heart, causing blood to drip and her breath to freeze in pain.
Li Fei pursed his lips, clenched his fists hanging under the quilt, and the look on his face became colder.
She took out the white and waxy jade pendant, spread it out with her palm facing up, and handed it to Yan Lan: "The jade pendant belongs to the Shangguan family, take it away!"
Yanlan looked nervously at the jade pendant in her hand, her body trembling violently, and more and more tears accumulated in her eyes. She couldn't believe that her daughter would even think of returning the jade pendant.
"This jade pendant represents your identity as the second young lady of the Shangguan family. You are my flesh and blood. How can you just say you don't want it?"
"Just treat it as your biological daughter. Shangguan Zhi, the second young lady of the Shangguan family, is dead. She died in that car accident. Just treat it as... we never knew each other, okay?"
Speaking of this, Li Fei clearly felt that her eyes were burning, and her heart felt like a heavy stone was weighing on her, making her feel extremely depressed.
She raised her eyes and looked out the window, looking at the raindrops falling outside the window, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
Mother's love is really an unattainable luxury for her.
After experiencing a few more disappointments, naturally it is not so necessary.
Li Fei's words made Yan Lan's pupils widen in shock. She looked at her daughter in disbelief. She stretched out her trembling hands and then retracted them. The corners of her mouth squirmed and she struggled to speak: "Child, I know you are angry. You should be angry. , you are talking angrily, right?"
"It's not an angry comment."
Li Fei's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and an indescribable feeling surged into his heart, which eventually turned into a bubble without a trace.
She moved her gaze back and managed a smile that didn't look so ugly. Her voice was light and airy: "I have thought about it carefully. I think... I am not suitable to be a member of the Shangguan family. There are too many of me in the Shangguan family." Incomprehensible rules, to be honest, I don’t like that way of life at all.”
Since coming to Beiling, she has been constrained by various rules and regulations of the Shangguan family. Everyone in the house always speaks in a polite manner.
Everyone was telling her how she should bow to her elders and what rules she should follow.
It only lasted two days, and there were a total of twenty-four etiquette rules, large and small.
By now, her mind was filled with all kinds of complicated etiquette, including images of sleeping.
She casually wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued: "I have an illusion, Mrs. Yanlan... you don't seem to be the gentle mother I imagined. I even doubt... you took me back The Shangguan family actually just wants to use me to reach some kind of deal that is beneficial to the Shangguan family, and I hate this feeling of being used."
After the incident, Fu Lingheng investigated the background of the Zhou family and found that the Zhou family had a piece of land for which the Shangguan family led the bidding. If the Zhou family was responsible for this project, it would inevitably have a lot of impact on the Shangguan Group.
Therefore, Xu Ziyuan's suggestion played a key role in the process, and Yan Lan couldn't wait to promote the marriage between the two families.
At that time, he believed enough in his future son-in-law's words and believed that Zhou Yu was a reliable, ideal and ambitious young man, and that marrying him would be a good thing for his daughter.
"It's not like that, little Zhi..."
Yanlan's heart was full of panic, and she explained eagerly: "I never thought of using you to achieve some kind of exchange of interests. You are my daughter, how could I do that?"
Li Fei felt a touch of sadness in her heart. No matter how Yan Lan explained it, in her opinion, it was all quibbles.
She opened the bedside drawer, took out the information Fu Lingheng investigated and threw it on the edge of the bed.
Yan Lan picked it up and looked through it tremblingly. Her face became paler as she looked down. She rubbed the writing on the page with her fingertips, and all her strength seemed to be drained out in an instant.
She trembled and looked up at Li Fei with a look of deep sadness in her eyes.
"Xiao Zhi... If mom knew that it would cause you so much harm, I would never do this."
"You admitted it! Admitted that you used me as a commodity in exchange for benefits?"
Li Fei's eyes when he looked at her revealed endless disappointment, "I thought I had found a safe haven, but unexpectedly I discovered that I was not the one taking shelter from the wind, but I was the one in the safe haven."
"No, it's not like that!"
Yan Lan quickly shook her head in denial. Her pale face was covered with tears. She looked like she was greatly shocked. She held Li Fei's hand and said, "You and your sister are both my children. What mother in the world doesn't want to Is it okay to take care of your child?"
Li Fei withdrew his hand, suppressed the undercurrent in his eyes, and said nothing.
The ward door was suddenly pushed open. Shangguan Yu had arrived a long time ago and had been standing outside the door listening to the conversation inside. She approached step by step, silently picked up the paper on the ground and read two pages.
Yan Lan watched her reaction anxiously and tried to stop her from reading any more: "Xiao Yu, stop reading, Mom, please stop reading!"
The papers were scattered, Shangguan Yu's body was shaking, and he was about to lose his balance.
"Mom, aren't you happy to have Xiao Zhi back? Why do you want to trade her with the Zhou family for a piece of shabby land? Why!"
Under Shangguan Yu's loud questioning, Yanlan closed her eyes in pain and weakness, tears sliding down her cheeks.
Shangguan Yu's disappointment was different from Li Fei's, which was only reflected in her eyes and expressions. She suffered a direct psychological collapse.
Her mother, whom she had been proud of since she was a child, was a highly capable female elite in the shopping mall, but she could also do dirty things for profit!
"After all, our Shangguan family is sorry for Xiao Zhi. If she doesn't want to come back, she won't come back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yanlan lost control of her emotions and yelled in a low voice: "You are crazy! She is your sister. If she doesn't return to Shangguan's house, how are you going to explain to your grandfather?"
"I will explain it clearly to grandpa. Xiao Zhi, don't have any worries. You are pregnant now. The most important thing is to stay happy."
Shangguan Yu's expression didn't change and he left after saying this.
After that night, no one from the Shangguan family bothered Li Fei again.
Until Li Fei returned to H City for about half a month.
She saw the news on the financial channel that Shangguan Yu had officially taken over all management rights of the Shangguan family enterprise.
On TV, she was wearing a smart suit, her black hair was pulled up, and she had exquisite makeup. She smiled gracefully and calmly when being interviewed by reporters.
"Sister-in-law, your sister is so beautiful."
Fu Shuruan held the cheesecake and scooped it into his mouth one spoonful at a time. He stared at the TV and admired it from the bottom of his heart.
"Boom-"
A crispy chestnut pressed lightly on her little head, and she turned back angrily: "Brother Xiangchuan, can you stop being so childish!"
"How naive am I? How naive are you? Going home on weekends and watching Teletubbies on your tablet?"
Xiangchuan liked to tease her. The two little bumps on her head looked very cute, so he couldn't help but poke them with his fingers.
She immediately ran away, covered her head and stared at him: "What are you doing? You have to pay for messing up your hair!"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's eat your cake."
He said he wouldn't tease her anymore, but his hands didn't say he wouldn't tease her anymore!
When Fu Shuruan wasn't paying attention, Xiangchuan dipped his index finger into the cream and spread it on her face.
Fu Shuruan's mouth turned down, his cheeks were rounded, and his hair was completely fried. He was holding the cake and was about to smash it into Xiang Chuan's face: "Don't run away if you have the ability."
Just like that, people were chasing each other and escaping in the living room of the Fu family's old house, and there was endless commotion.
After returning from Beiling, the two became happy enemies. Li Fei was not surprised and was happy to watch.
