Chapter 2388 - She Really Knows How To Be Sad
Panda Novel
Li Ruochu wanted to confirm it with her own eyes. So she asked Ah Wen to send her to the Li family.
After so many years, Li Ruochu was once again standing at the entrance of the Li family. She was filled with emotions.
She was finally back at the place that she had always wanted to escape from.
This was where she was born and where she grew up. Too many memories were stowed away here.
Sigh…
Li Ruochu sighed silently and walked into the Li residence with Ah Wen.
In the Li family villa, her stepmother, Song Juan, was talking to her daughter, Li Min’er. A servant rushed in and reported, “Madam, Miss is back!”
“She’s back so soon?” Song Juan asked.
“Mom, she must’ve been to the hospital. She couldn’t see Dad and came here. I can totally tell what she’s up to.”
Li Min’er analyzed.
“Luckily we got your father out of the hospital. If we were in the hospital hearing that little hussy talk, who knows how chaotic the house would be. We can’t let her see your father later!”
“Mm.”
After the mother and daughter pair had discussed their plan, Li Ruochu walked into the villa with Ah Wen.
The Li family mansion was still decorated in the same way as before, but the furniture inside was completely new and more luxurious than before.
Li Ruochu entered and saw Song Juan and Li Min’er sitting on the European-style vintage leather sofa.
“Who is this?” Song Juan asked. “Is she the daughter of the Li family?”
Li Ruochu could hear the sarcasm in her voice, but she ignored it. Instead, she asked directly, “I’m back. Auntie Song, where’s my father? Has he been discharged?”
Li Ruochu gestured for Ah Wen to place her things on the table.
Song Juan looked at Li Ruochu and the man she had brought in and asked, “Who is this? Don’t tell me he’s the son-in-law?”
“No, just a friend who’s accompanying me.”
Li Ruochu did not want Ah Wen to see this scene and said, “Ah Wen, wait for me outside!”
“Okay.” Ah Wen left respectfully.
Song Juan looked at the few shabby things on the table and sneered, “You still know how to come back to see your father? I thought you would never come back in this lifetime! Now that you’re back, what did you buy for your father? It can’t be just these two things on the table, right? Oh my god, you’re too stingy!”
Ah Wen, who was about to leave, heard Song Juan’s taunt and turned to look at her meaningfully.
“I brought these for my father. It’s not a big deal. He won’t mind.” Li Ruochu did not want to embarrass herself. Now that her father was in danger, bringing a mountain of gold and silver would not help his illness either.
It could be said that her father didn’t need anything from her. All he needed was for her to come back and see him.
Li Min’er flipped open the gifts on the table and exclaimed, “Oh my god, Sis, you’re really something. You only bought a few boxes of cakes from Estan. These things added up to less than 200 yuan. Tsk tsk, what are you pretending to be poor for? To let Daddy see? Let him know that you’re not living well outside so his heart would soften and he would give you more of the family assets?”
“What a tragic scene!”
The mother and daughter continued to mock Li Ruochu. In the end, Song Juan even said, “Do you want me to lend you some money? Don’t let outsiders know that you are the daughter of the Li family. Don’t embarrass your father.”
Li Ruochu initially wanted to ignore the two of them and go straight in to look for her father. But at this moment, Ah Wen turned around and shouted, “Miss Li!”
