Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Besieged on All Sides (1)
Due to her worries about Di Yelei, Liu Sisi was constantly distracted during the day.
She nearly dropped her bowl while eating, ink dripping from her brush-pen while writing, directly soaking through several layers of paper.
Even when combing YingEr’s hair, she only managed to do half before stopping. She was startled by YingEr’s shout, almost pulling off a clump of YingEr’s hair, making YingEr cry for a while and leaving her feeling extremely remorseful…
Eventually, even her father-in-law came to ask her if something was wrong.
“It’s nothing, Father. Sisi just didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m feeling very sleepy. If I go rest for a while, I’ll be fine.”
She forced a smile before returning to her room.
It is said that concern causes chaos, and the main reason she was so worried about Ye Lei was because she understood that the current situation was critical for Di Yelei!
Yet she couldn’t help him!
She tossed and turned restlessly on the bed, finally managing to doze off, only to be awakened by a series of noises outside, making it difficult for her to fall asleep again.
A moment later, she heard Ms. Gao’s report.
“Madam, the Old Madam is outside the residence asking to see Old Master.”
Liu Sisi struggled to get up, her consciousness still somewhat groggy.
“What’s going on?”
Ms. Gao hurried to help her tidy her clothes and whispered, “Old Master won’t let anyone let the Old Madam in, so… actually, she came yesterday too, but was driven away by Old Master.”
“I see.”
Listening to the commotion outside, Liu Sisi’s eyes flashed with understanding.
Her father-in-law usually seemed very easygoing, but once his bottom line was crossed, he was the type who wouldn’t budge no matter how hard you tried. The more trouble Ms. Zhao caused, the more suffering she would bring upon herself.
By the time Liu Sisi had freshened up and stepped out, she heard a harsh reprimand from an angle.
“Don’t bother with her!”
Liu Sisi instinctively turned her head and saw her father-in-law standing not far behind her, his face gloomy.
“Father…”
Liu Sisi hesitated.
“Don’t go!”
Elderly Mr. Di showed no signs of softening. After speaking, he turned and left.
“But, Father, this looks very bad. After all, Ye Lei’s status is different now. If we continue to ignore her like this, I’m afraid…”
Liu Sisi searched for an excuse.
Elderly Mr. Di paused for a moment, but said nothing more and entered the room.
In truth, Liu Sisi could tell that Elderly Mr. Di must have had a good relationship with his original wife; otherwise, he wouldn’t have cared so much even after all these years. It would be false to say that he had no feelings for Ms. Zhao; after all, they had spent twenty to thirty years together. Even raising a dog for that long would lead to attachment.
Since Elderly Mr. Di didn’t stop her, Liu Sisi got up and went outside.
“…You old, undead thing! You blackhearted man, can you really be so ruthless, trying to drive me, your wife, to death! I’ll die right here in this courtyard, and I’ll see…”
Ms. Zhao was cursing loudly when she heard footsteps by the main entrance. Her face lit up in delight, and she quickly stopped talking.
But when she saw that it was Liu Sisi who had come out, her smile faded once more.
“Why is it you? Where is that old man? Where did he go off to die?”
