"Mum, Mum..."
Since she’d gotten into the car, Ye Li’s tears hadn’t stopped.
She kept telling herself not to cry; consoling her mother was the priority.
Only Heaven knew how difficult these tis had been for her. She had to endure the sorrow of her father’s death, and then play act, deceiving you all, she was the one truly suffering.
But Ye Li just couldn’t help it.
Li Xueqing’s tears also fell steadily.
The car was filled with sorrow.
"Ah Li, you’ve been wronged during this ti!"
Li Xueqing looked at her daughter, who seed to have grown up all of a sudden, with pride brimming in her eyes.
The economic channel detailed the Ye Family’s bankruptcy.
The entertainnt channel made light of Ye Li scrambling everywhere to pay off a debt of a billion, saying a fallen phoenix was inferior to a chicken, that the once radiant Princess had beco a grimy Cinderella, and it was uncertain if a prince would descend from the heavens.
Thinking of the prince, Li Xueqing instinctively looked back at the rear window of the car.
The Maybach followed behind the Ye Family’s rcedes at a steady pace.
Just like in the banquet hall, he remained unnoticeable, yet made Ah Li the most dazzling presence there.
She recalled how he declared in front of so many people that he listened to Ah Li.
And how during the Ye Family’s toughest tis, it was he who married Ah Li and saved the Ye Family from ruin.
Li Xueqing eyed Ye Li’s features and softly asked, "Is he good to you?"
Having cried for too long, her mind was a bit muddled. Ye Li looked bewildered for a while before nodding convincingly, "Mum, Fu Yanci is very good to ."
Li Xueqing gently tucked the strands of hair that had fallen and were wet with tears behind Ye Li’s ear, nodding and saying, "That’s good!"
She seed to recall the last ti Fu Yanci had co to their house and laughed, "When he visited last ti, I genuinely regretted not having another daughter to marry to him. Now, I suppose I’ve got my wish!"
"Mum..."
Ye Li, with her eyes and nose red, coquettishly clung to Li Xueqing’s arm, "Mum, even though Dad’s gone, you still have , Fu Yanci, Aunt Lan, we’ll all take good care of you. You have to be well, okay?"
What she feared most was her mother learning the truth and once again collapsing into despair.
Even the thought of such a possibility was unbearable for Ye Li.
And everything that had just happened took Ye Li by surprise.
The calr she appeared in front of others, the more frantic she felt at the mont.
Ye Li dreaded that the mont she walked through the front door, or perhaps when waking up tomorrow morning, her mother’s illness would have worsened.
"Don’t worry, Mum’s fine..."
Li Xueqing hugged Ye Li, as if holding the little Ye Li, gently patting her back. "With Dad gone, Mum has to be alright. It’s a promise I made to Dad."
Birth, aging, sickness, and death are part of life.
In monts of deep affection, people often say they’ll hold hands and grow old together, hoping to live until ninety-nine, and if one dies at ninety-seven, to wait on Naihe Bridge for two years.
But Li Xueqing and Ye Mushen had promised each other that if one went before the other, the one remaining should live well.
They couldn’t let their Ah Li lose both her dad and her mum.
"Mum will be well, to see Ah Li in a wedding dress, becoming the world’s most beautiful bride. To see Ah Li standing on a stage shining with stars, becoming a talented designer. And to wait to beco a grandmother..."
Li Xueqing’s eyes shimred as she looked at Ye Li, "Ah Li, Mum will be fine! Shall we be well together, alright?"
"Okay!"
Ye Li nodded.
