“It’s nothing.”
“Don’t you want to know where Li Jue went?”
The He and Li families were connected by marriage, but they were also enemies. Their feelings towards each other were very complicated.
“No, I don’t.”
“……”
Li Qiao was a bit surprised.
He Jingnian held her shoulders with both hands and said, “I don’t want to know anything about Li Jue. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me. Every person has their own destiny. His ending is a choice he made long ago!”
Her figure was reflected in his eyes.
“Go back and get some good rest.”
“Mm, you too.”
The two parted ways.
Back at the Li residence, Liu Yusi looked dejected, her hand clutching her phone.
Li Qiao’s gaze paused on her face for a moment, then she asked, “Mom, did something happen to the Liu family?”
Liu Yusi smiled bitterly. “Yeah, Old Madam Liu passed away.”
Her own biological mother!
She never imagined that the last time they met would be their final farewell.
Old Madam Liu had passed away. Should she go to the funeral? Liu Yusi hesitated for a long time. Li Qiao held her hand and said, “Mom, just this one last time.”
“Okay.”
Li Qiao found a black outfit. After she changed, she linked arms with Liu Yusi and they walked out.
The Liu residence was already draped in white funeral streamers, the entrance packed with cars, and a continuous stream of guests coming and going.
In the main hall, Old Master Liu looked terrible, his eyes red and swollen, clearly having just cried. Old Madam Liu lay peacefully in the casket.
Old Master Liu’s gaze swept over.
“Who let you in? Get lost! All of you, get lost!”
He was, of course, referring to Liu Yusi and Li Qiao.
The others were waiting to watch the drama unfold.
“Old Liu, I’d advise you to do more good deeds.”
“You damned girl, since when do juniors get to interrupt when elders are speaking? Liu Yusi, where’s your daughter’s manners?”
He was targeting Li Qiao, and Liu Yusi immediately became displeased. “How my daughter is raised is none of your business. I came here today to see her off one last time! Since the Liu family doesn’t welcome us, there’s no need to contact me again in the future.”
“Sister, how can you just leave like that? Today is Mom’s funeral, after all. You are her biological daughter.” Liu Yulan was wearing a white dress, with a small white flower pinned in her hair. She still had a certain charm. As the saying goes, to look alluring, wear mourning clothes!
Liu Yulan certainly had the appeal for it, and her baby bump was now quite visible.
Quite a few people knew about the Liu family’s scandalous affairs.
The looks they gave Liu Yulan were all filled with contempt!
“Yulan, why bother talking to her.”
“Dad… no matter what, she is still a daughter of the Liu family.” Liu Yulan caressed her belly, then leaned slightly closer to Liu Yusi and lowered her voice. “Hmph, the Liu family will be mine alone. You won’t get anything.”
A sly glint flashed in Liu Yulan’s eyes. Suddenly, she staggered and fell to the ground.
“Sister… why did you push me?”
The crowd buzzed with excitement. Liu Yusi pushed someone? This was explosive!
“If you fell yourself, who can you blame?”
“But you clearly pushed me!” Liu Yulan pointed at her.
“I did not!”
“It was you, it was you…” Liu Yulan clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, “Dad, help!”
Old Master Liu quickly hurried over and helped Liu Yulan up, then roared angrily at Liu Yusi, “How can you be so vicious!”
Liu Yusi: “……”
Li Qiao: “……”
The onlookers whispered among themselves: “It’s obvious Liu Yulan did it on purpose. What’s wrong with this Old Master Liu?”
“Those two are having an affair.”
“……”
Old Master Liu, the subject of their gossip, flushed red. His current situation was quite awkward, but he was shameless.
His wife was gone, and his son was a cripple.
Once Liu Yulan gave birth to his son, he would have an heir.
