69: Chapter 68 Dear Nanxi, Donât Cry_1 69: Chapter 68 Dear Nanxi, Donât Cry_1 Ren Linlin, a pampered and spoiled lady of the house, had never been called a âwild womanâ in her life.
She flushed with anger on the spot and immediately pushed Yang Su.
No one, not even the bystanders Lan Qiqi and Li Weihuan, could make out how the situation escalated, but it did, to the point where the two women started fighting.
The coffee cup got knocked over in the process.
Later, when Qi Qun and Li Mufang arrived and tried to intervene, Yang Su ended up getting pushed to the ground by Ren Linlin.
She got cuts on her lower leg and palm from the shards of the coffee cup.
Before Nanxi arrived, Li Weihuan had a heated argument with Qi Qun, who was so furious that she almost collapsed.
Li Mufang said, âWeihuan, now that youâve upset your mother to this point, do you feel satisfied?â
Li Weihuan didnât reply.
He felt unfilial, like he was the typical husband who forgets his mother after getting married.
And he hadnât even married Nanxi yet, but he had already forgotten who gave birth to him!
Li Weihuan didnât want it to be like this; he wanted to be a good son, but Qi Qun didnât give him the opportunity.
He understood the grudge that Qi Qun held in her heart and felt wronged for his father.
But he couldnât interfere in matters between the elders.
Li Mufang took Qi Qun away and before leaving, she said to Li Weihuan, âYouâre boarding your flight back to the United States tomorrow.
Iâll try to talk her around when we get home.
We still have half a year left.
Maybe by then, sheâll come around!â
Pausing for a moment, Li Mufang added, âWeihuan, although mother has been excessive at times, she still cares about you deeply.
As her children, we should understand and help her get through thisâ¦
Thatâs all I have to say.
Make sure you go home tonight!â
Bai Yuchuan and Zhang Mu arrived promptly while Yan Chenqing arrived a bit later.
Zhang Mu carried Yang Su to Bai Yuchuanâs car.
Li Weihuan was silent throughout, hanging his head, looking like a child who did something wrong.
Bai Yuchuan left with Yang Su and others first, and Nanxi stayed behind.
Li Weihuan said, âNanxi, you must believe me, I had no idea my mother set me up for a blind date.
I would have never gone if I knew!â
Nanxi replied, âI know.â
Li Weihuan reached out to hold her hand, âNanxi, donât be angry!â
Nanxi wanted to say, Iâm not angry, but her throat tightened and she couldnât get the words out.
A bitter taste surfaced in her heart, and tears started streaming down her cheeks.
Seeing her cry, Li Weihuanâs heart ached.
He took her into his arms and held her tight, pleading, âNanxi, please donât cryâ¦
Pleaseâ¦â
But Nanxiâs tears only flowed more freely upon hearing his words.
If she were to speak of being wronged, there was definitely some sense of it.
She had known for a long time that Qi Qun disliked her and, over the years, she had tried to change that.
But how could she?
She remembered a time when Qi Qun looked at her with sarcastic laughter, asking her, âWhy do you think youâre good enough for our Weihuan?â
Nanxiâs heart sank into a deep pain at that moment, not for herself but for Li Weihuan.
She had always advised Li Weihuan to be more considerate of his motherâs feelings and try not to upset her, but now, even she, usually so reserved, was becoming annoyed by Qi Qunâs words.
Not to mention, Li Weihuan.
Nanxi replied, âAunt Qi, if your definition of being compatible is based on material wealth and family background, then perhaps Iâm really not good enough.â
Qi Qun laughed, âIf thatâs the case, then what more is there to say?
Leave my son, break up with him, and never show your face in front of him again!â
Nanxi was taken aback.
Her heart ached as if it had been doused with cold water!
She knew Qi Qun didnât like her, but she didnât realize that dislike ran far deeper than she had believed.
That day, all the words she had prepared to say were swallowed back because there was no point saying them.
Before leaving, she courteously bowed to Qi Qun and said goodbye, without any sense of submission.
Upon seeing this, Qi Qun became so angry that she was trembling.
From Qi Qunâs perspective, Nanxiâs forbearance was a sign of arrogance and defiance, as if she did not respect her as an elder.
How could a girl like this be good enough for her son?
However, her precious son was just like someone poisoned, insisting on having this girl, and Qi Qun, his mother, was powerless to stop him.
Latterly when Li Weihuan studied abroad, she felt a little relieved, hoping that after seeing the world and getting to know various women, he would no longer be attracted to Nanxi.
But he returned after more than a year abroad without giving up on Nanxi.
Instead, he was even more in love with her.
How could she bear it?
After Nanxi finished crying, she and Li Weihuan went for a long, silent walk on a quiet hospital path.
This silence was causing Li Weihuan to feel suffocated.
Li Weihuan said, âNanxi, give me some more time, I wonât give up on you, and I hope you wonât give up on me either!â
Nanxi just hung her head, not saying anything.
From Nanxiâs perspective, no matter how hard she tried, she could never win over Qi Qunâs heart.
As for the future with Li Weihuan, she honestly didnât know.
Li Weihuan said, âIâve decided not to go abroad anymore.
I want to stay in China and be by your side!â
Nanxi frowned, âIs that even possible?â
âWhy not?â Li Weihuan insisted, reaching out to hold Nanxiâs hand, he said, âNanxi, to me, nothing else matters.
Only you matter most!â
â¦
It was only later that Lu Yinchu came to know about Qi Qun forcing Li Weihuan to go on a blind date!
Mo Yan mentioned, âNanxiâs roommate Yang Su was injured, thankfully not severely!â
Lu Yinchu nodded, âThe girl Weihuan went on the blind date with?
Whatâs her background?â
âSheâs the niece of the CEO of Shenghua Group, her name is Ren Linlin!â
The man pursed his lips, not giving much of a reaction.
His expression remained as poker-faced as ever.
Mo Yan asked, âWill Weihuan manage to leave the country smoothly tomorrow?
He might not be willing to leave!â
âHe will.â For the first time, the man spoke out, ââ¦He will leave.
Of that, I have no doubt.â
Mo Yan was slightly startled, not understanding why Lu Yinchu was so sure.
In response, Lu Yinchu curled his lips into a smile.
He was undoubtedly certain because he understood Li Weihuan, and also⦠her!
At ten in the evening, Lu Yinchu returned to the Lu family home.
The old master was still awake while Li Weihuan was with him.
Xia Zhen, standing to one side, gave him a knowing look as he entered, but he kept his expression neutral.
Seeing him arrive, the old masterâs tense expression eased somewhat.
Standing up, he said to his daughter-in-law Xia Zhen, âI am tired; I will retire upstairs to rest.
Leave the matter to Yinchu!â
âGrandfather, let me help you!â
Li Weihuan rose to his feet to assist the old master, along with Xia Zhen, and accompanied him back to his room.
When he returned, it was five minutes later, and Lu Yinchu was making himself comfortable, smoking in the living room.
He walked up to Lu Yinchu and said, âUncle Yinchu!â
Lu Yinchu nodded, and with an inviting gesture to the seat next to him, said, âSit down, letâs talk!â
Li Weihuan hesitated for a moment before sitting down.
âYou want to stay in China?â
Lu Yinchu exhaled a circle of smoke, giving him a sidelong glance, his voice soft.
Li Weihuan nodded, âYes, I want to stay here.
I donât think schools abroad are necessarily better than our schools.
Besides, theory is just theory, it has to be put into practice.
If there is anything I donât understand, I can ask my father, or I can ask you, right?â
