C78 (1/2)
”Mom …” ”You …” Liu Xixi had a look of shock on her face. She did not expect those words to come from her own mouth.
”How is it? Aren't you unwilling? It's like the whole world bullied you, but in the end you still get the most benefits? ”My poor darling daughter lay in bed for three years. In the end, her little sister became an ingrate, and her boyfriend became her little sister's husband …” Jiang Manwei ignored Liu Xixi's increasingly pale face. She did her best to choose words that hurt Liu Xixi's heart.
”Mom, don't say anymore …”
”You don't want to hear it, but I have to say it. Do you know why all the nannies of the Liu Family were fired? This is because they are all speaking behind their backs and saying that their hearts are crippled. They will only be able to spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair … ”
Needless to say, her sister's disability was a pain that she couldn't erase. Even if the accident didn't happen because of her, she was fine despite the two of them being together. This was already a sin.
Jiang Manwei saw that Liu Xixi's guilty conscience was aroused, so she smiled coldly, ”No matter what, you still owe me. I won't force you to divorce Shen Jingchen, so treat her well. If she's hurt even the slightest bit, I promise I'll skin you alive.”
With that, she walked back to the elevator and left without looking back.
Liuxi stood on the roof for a long time, looking at the ant sized cars coming and going. She didn't know what to feel until the tears had dried on her face. Then she turned around and went back to the ward.
Liu Xixi bid farewell to Liu Chengze and returned to the Shen family with Shen Mo Chen. They sat in the passenger seat and did not say a word.
When Shen Mo Chen saw that she had gone out with her stepmother and returned, his expression was obviously off. He held on to the steering wheel with one hand and reached out with the other to grab Liu Xixi's hand with the other. ”What did Mom say to you?”
”None …” Liu Xixi thought of the hurtful words that Jiang Manwei had said on the balcony and did not say them out loud.
”…” Shen Jingchen remained silent, but the coldness in his expression deepened.
The car slowly drove on like this, ”Shen Mo Chen, my sister's car accident has nothing to do with me. Do you believe me?”
Liu Xixi suddenly needed the trust of the man in front of her. Every word that her stepmother said in the afternoon made even her capillaries feel uncomfortable.
”I do.” Shen said he didn't believe it when he first set up Liushi, but now he chose to believe it without hesitation.
Time was the best way to see through a person's authenticity, and he was willing to believe in the woman in front of him.
”Thank you …” The word 'trust' from Shen Jingchen struck directly at her heart. It was so hard, she had always wanted her father, stepmother, and Shen Jingchen to believe in her, but it was so hard.
”No matter what, you must believe that I will protect you well.” Shen Jingchen took Liu Xiya's hand and kissed it. His short beard stuck in Liu Xixi's hand, prickling and comfortable.
”I believe in you too.” She believed that she did not love the wrong person, and whenever she did, Shen Jingchen would always stand by her side.
With one more person in the family, he would still be a bit cautious. The nannies were all telling the young master to bring his ex-girlfriend back in order to embarrass Liu Xixi.
