Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Sorry Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Sorry After getting into the car and seeing Zhong Nianyao seated inside, Li Yiqiu’s gaze flickered uncertainly, and her emotions were even more mixed.
“What, not even a greeting?” Zhong Nianyao put down her phone, looked at Li Yiqiu as she boarded the car, and spoke with a smile, “No matter what, your youngest son was able to recover his health because of . Even for the sake of saving face, you should at least say thank you to , shouldn’t you?”
“Thank you?” Li Yiqiu’s face couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile, “You forced to make a choice, and now you want to explain things clearly to ngxuan; your way of doing things is simply roasting on a fire. Should I still feel grateful?”
“Weren’t you the one who started it?” Zhong Nianyao rested her hand on her knee, supporting her chin, and looked at Li Yiqiu with a careless smile, “Everyone has their own bottom line; you should be very clear that Grandpa and Grandma are my ultimate bottom line.”
After coming to this world, the first people who were unconditionally kind to her were Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong. It could be said that these two were her reverse scales.
Li Yiqiu should not have, under any circumstances, used these two elderly people to threaten her. Since she had opened her mouth, she would have to bear the corresponding consequences.
She felt that what she had done was already quite rciful.
Li Yiqiu pursed her lips tightly, her eyes full of remorse. In the end, she still said nothing.
The car quickly arrived at the detention center.
In the visitor’s room of the detention center—
Li Yiqiu appeared sowhat restless.
Just the thought of the words she would have to say soon made her unable to stay seated. She could hardly believe that if she uttered those words, Zhong ngxuan would still recognize her as her mother.
However, by this point, it was no longer within her control. She had made her choice, her son had taken the dicine, and he had recovered his health. If she were to back out now, she had no idea what kind of things Zhong Nianyao might do!
She had rely ntioned Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong and had been retaliated against by Zhong Nianyao in this manner. If she were to suddenly back out now, the consequences were simply unimaginable.
Before long, Zhong ngxuan was brought into the room.
Upon entering, Zhong ngxuan’s eyes were fixed solely on Li Yiqiu; she threw herself into Li Yiqiu’s arms, crying continuously, “Mom, you’ve co to save , haven’t you?”
“I don’t want to stay in this hellish place any longer; you and Dad must have thought of a way to save , right? This place is so cramped and small, and the food here isn’t fit for humans. If I continue to stay here, I’m going to go insane very soon.”
At this mont, Zhong ngxuan was full of grievances. Her only thought now was to leave the detention center as soon as possible.
She had been pampered from a young age. Since her birth, she had never experienced any hardships of life. But now, she had been sent to a detention center.
The past few days for her were as long as years. She dared not even imagine how terrifying it would be if she had to continue staying in such a place.
She truly regretted it now, regretted her impulse in taking a dagger and wanting to kill Zhong Nianyao.
However, her regret was not for the act itself, but for the consequences it had brought her.
Zhong ngxuan was completely imrsed in her own thoughts, utterly oblivious to the stiffness of Li Yiqiu’s body.
Faced with Zhong ngxuan who had thrown herself into her arms, for a mont, Li Yiqiu really didn’t know how to start speaking to Zhong ngxuan.
She could tell that, over the past few days, Zhong ngxuan must have suffered a great deal of grievances. If she now told Zhong ngxuan that she would have to live like this for a long ti in the future, she couldn’t even begin to imagine what Zhong ngxuan’s reaction would be.
Zhong ngxuan was still continuously lanting her grievances, but Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but speak up.
“Second Aunt, don’t you plan on telling her?”
Zhong Niangyao looked at Li Yiqiu with a smile that was not quite a smile, emphasizing the words “Second Aunt” a bit louder, as if there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
It was then that Zhong ngxuan noticed, in the parlour, besides Li Yiqiu, Zhong Niangyao was present too.
Looking at Zhong Niangyao, who seed simple in dress but radiant, a flash of jealousy couldn’t help but cross the depths of Zhong ngxuan’s eyes.
However, after so many things had happened, she had learned to be much smarter and did not imdiately say anything. Instead, she cast a puzzled look at Li Yiqiu.
Indeed, she was very puzzled by Zhong Niangyao’s appearance here. But at the sa ti, a vague hope arose in her heart—could it be that her parents had managed to persuade Zhong Niangyao not to pursue the matter? Was that why Zhong Niangyao was here today?
If that was really the case, could she leave this godforsaken place today?
Thinking of this, Zhong ngxuan’s eyes lit up, and the urgency in her gaze when looking at Li Yiqiu was almost tangible.
Faced with the hopeful look from Zhong ngxuan, Li Yiqiu avoided it sowhat, just not daring to et her eyes directly.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yiqiu took Zhong ngxuan by the hand, sat down, and after so deliberation, finally spoke, “ngxuan, you’re no longer a child now. Everyone must pay the price for what they’ve done, do you understand?”
Hearing the words that ca out of Li Yiqiu’s mouth, the hope in Zhong ngxuan’s eyes faded, replaced by an intangible panic. She unconsciously reached out, grabbing Li Yiqiu’s hand tightly, her voice trembling as she spoke, “Mom, what… what do you an? You… you didn’t co to rescue today?”
“ngxuan, I—” Li Yiqiu looked up, saw Zhong Niangyao’s face, and all her words suddenly got stuck in her throat, leaving her unable to speak for a mont.
“Second Aunt!” Zhong Niangyao raised her voice sharply, “Don’t forget the purpose of your visit today. At this point, you should tell her the facts, so she can give up hope.”
Zhong ngxuan clutched Li Yiqiu’s hand tightly, her eyes staring intently at her.
“ngxuan.” Li Yiqiu bit her lip, and all her words finally condensed into one sentence, “I’m sorry.”
I’m sorry!
The mont these three words ca out, Zhong ngxuan’s heart sank, her eyes reddened, she gritted her teeth, and finally spoke up, “Mom, what do you an by this? Are you and Dad not planning to care for anymore? Is that it? Are you going to let continue to suffer in a place like this?”
Li Yiqiu looked up, opened her mouth, and in the end didn’t know what to say, and it all ca back to that one sentence, “I’m sorry!”
