Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Lin Qi, You Really Have Good Fortune Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Lin Qi, You Really Have Good Fortune Lili looked at the apple handed to her by Li Wanru and turned her face away expressionlessly.
She appeared estranged, clearly repelling Li Wanru’s affection.
Li Wanru looked helplessly toward Lin Qi.
Lin Qi stood up and walked to the door with her: “Before you arrived, I had already told her about her origins. She feels wronged and definitely doesn’t want to acknowledge you. But with ti, she will surely let go of her resentnt towards you.”
Li Wanru said, “It’s my fault… I failed to protect my own girl!… What did the doctors say? It looks like she’s badly injured. You ntioned a car accident, could it have caused any brain damage?”
She was afraid that Lili might have so lingering effects from the injury.
Lin Qi said, “Don’t worry, I will take good care of her.”
Originally, Li Wanru thought she would just see Lili, then head back to the county town in peace. But now, seeing her daughter who has grown so much and yet refuses to acknowledge her, she felt unsettled.
“How much longer does she need to stay in the hospital?”
Lin Qi said, “I don’t know, the doctors haven’t given the discharge notice yet; she might need so ti in the hospital to recover.”
Li Wanru said, “I want to stay in Beijing for a while to accompany her until she recovers, then I can go back with peace of mind.”
Lin Qi hesitated.
At this mont—
“Mommy!”
Han’s voice was heard.
Li Wanru looked up and saw two delicate and pretty little boys walking towards Lin Qi. Approaching, she saw Han and Momo’s lovely faces, particularly Momo, who resembled Lin Qi especially around the eyes and eyebrows, making her quite astonished. “Lin Qi, are these two children…”
Lin Qi imdiately introduced them: “These are my two sons, one is called Huo Tinghan, and the other Lin Jinmo, their nicknas are Han and Momo.”
Li Wanru watched with envy, especially seeing Momo and Han wearing clean and beautiful clothes, the fabric looking so fine and noble on them, and then thinking about her own daughters at ho, dirty from playing in the muddy fields and neglected, she inevitably felt a bit sorrowful.
After all, these are city kids, especially with Han calling out “Mommy” in such a fashionable way, obviously raised in a wealthy household. That level of rich lifestyle is sothing she could hardly dream of.
Looking at Momo again, with a clever look and eyes full of wisdom, Li Wanru felt even more uncomfortable.
“They are too adorable,” Li Wanru sighed, “Lin Qi, I must say, you are truly fortunate. I am so envious. If I had your luck, to give birth to two sons for the Jin Family, why would I have to endure those looks from my in-laws?”
Lin Qi was montarily at a loss for words.
Han looked at Li Wanru curiously and asked, “Mommy, who is she?”
Lin Qi said, “She is Mommy’s sister, you should call her aunt.”
“Aunt?”
Han seed surprised, he looked at Li Wanru, not expecting her to be about the sa generation as Mommy.
Since Lin Qi had pointed it out, he obediently called out, “Hello, Aunt.”
Momo also called out, “Aunt.”
Li Wanru smiled and replied, “Hello!” She turned to Lin Qi and said sowhat awkwardly, “It was too rushed; I didn’t prepare any red envelopes. In our place, it’s customary to give red envelopes the first ti you call soone by a respectful title.”
Lin Qi said, “No need for red envelopes.”
Upon hearing this, Li Wanru felt a bit uncomfortable inside. Even though she was poor, Lin Qi’s comnt made her feel as if Lin Qi thought she was too poor to afford giving red envelopes.
“I may be poor, but I can still afford to give the children their red envelopes!”
Perhaps because of her inherent sensitivity, Li Wanru felt sowhat looked down upon.
Lin Qi imdiately explained, “It’s okay, really, we’ll give the sa next ti.”
She also realized Li Wanru’s sensitivity and took extra care with her feelings.
After Li Wanru left, Momo asked, “Mommy, I didn’t know before that you have biological sisters.”
Lin Qi said, “Mommy hasn’t had the chance to explain yet, your aunt is also Lili’s biological mother.”
Upon hearing this, Momo and Han were stunned and almost exclaid in unison, “What?”
Lin Qi patiently explained the whole situation to them.
Momo fell into deep thought.
Even though he was such a bright child, given his age, he couldn’t understand the concept of transferring one’s child to soone else’s na. Han couldn’t understand either; he could only put himself in Lili’s shoes, imagining what it would be like to be adopted out to strangers when he was very young, forcibly separated from his mommy. He felt so distressed that he hugged Lin Qi’s hand tightly, “Lili is so pitiful! Right after she was born, her parents didn’t want her.”
Lin Qi scolded, “Han, don’t talk nonsense, Lili’s mom did not abandon her.”
Han said, “But it’s a fact that her dad didn’t want her, and after she was sent away, her mom didn’t seem to want to find her either.”
Momo said, “You talk too much.”
He looked into the hospital room and saw Lili leaning against the bedhead. Through the hospital room door, it was evident that she had overheard Han’s words, her eyes filled with desolation.
Momo, enraged, smacked Han on the back of the head, “Why are you speaking so loudly, afraid that others won’t hear?”
Han rubbed his head with a wronged expression, looked towards the hospital room, and saw Lili awake. He covered his mouth in surprise, realizing how painful his careless words must have felt to her.
He walked sorrowfully into the room, saying apologetically, “Lili, I’m sorry… I didn’t an to say it like that!”
Lili responded indifferently, “What you said is true. My parents didn’t want , that’s why they sent away.”
Han said, “No…”
Lili replied, “Don’t try to comfort .”
Lin Qi walked to the bedside and sat next to Lili, “Lili, don’t think about the past.”
Lili nodded, “Yeah. I don’t care whether they really didn’t want or not, I’m just afraid…” She suddenly choked up, looking at Lin Qi, “I’m just afraid that you won’t want …”
Lin Qi was taken aback.
Lili had always been reserved. Now waking up, she thought Lin Qi had summoned Li Wanru because she intended to send her back to her original family, which deeply saddened her.
She really wanted to stay by Lin Qi’s side, because for so reason, only Lin Qi could give her the sense of security she needed, but unexpectedly, Lin Qi also seed to want to send her away.
She had tried to behave so well, yet she still couldn’t stay by her side.
Lili pursed her lips, tears constantly rolling in her eyes.
Lin Qi said compassionately, “I haven’t abandoned you. Lili, I’ve been trying to adopt you.”
Han asserted, “I can attest to that, Mommy has always wanted to adopt you as her daughter! We’ll be a family in the future!”
Han had a favorable impression of Lili because she had protected him.
