When the secretary knocked on the door, Zhang Li tidied her clothes and hair. She looked at herself through the glass beside her. Her eyes were swollen and her face was haggard. Fortunately, she was still tidy.
She was even more nervous than before when she came to see Liang Xun.
A cold and emotionless voice came from inside. The secretary pushed open the door and said to Zhang Li, âPlease come in.â
Zhang Li took a deep breath and walked in.
Liang Xun sat in his office chair and glanced at Zhang Li calmly. He did not invite her to sit down and said, âWhat do you want to say? Do you want me to let Jing Yuan off?â
Zhang Li was slightly stunned. Then, she hurriedly said, âNo, how is that possibleâ¦â
Liang Xun looked at her and did not say anything. However, there was a clear meaning in his eyes: Then why do you still come over?
Zhang Li panicked. She thought of the last time she came over for Jing Yuan. At that time, she had the determination to make Liang Xun agree to return Jingxuan because Jing Yuan could not live without Jingxuan. What about now?
She just wanted to see Jing Yao again, or she wouldnât be able to rest in peace.
âI came to thank you for letting me see Jing Mo and Jing Yuanâs true colors.â Zhang Li still could not say her motive directly.
Because she had a feeling that Liang Xun would definitely reject her.
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows. âThereâs no need for that. Iâm just doing this for Yaoyao. Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes. None of you are an exception.â
It was a mistake for Zhang Li and Jing Mo to be together, but Jing Yao was the one who had to bear the consequences of their mistake.
Even if Jing Yao didnât want to take revenge, he couldnât take it lying down. Because of them, Jing Yao still had that damn psychological barrier.
Zhang Liâs lips trembled slightly and tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
âIâm sorry. I was wrong. I donât know people well,â Zhang Li muttered.
Liang Xun sneered and leaned back in his chair. âWhy are you apologizing to me? Iâm not the one youâre sorry to.â
Zhang Li was delighted and hurriedly said, âYes, we deserve to die. 1 made Yaoyao suffer from those bad things since she was young. I was wrong. President Liang, I hope you can let me see Yaoyao. I want to apologize to her personally. Donât worry, I definitely wonât make Yaoyao sad.â
Liang Xunâs relaxed expression disappeared and his gaze suddenly turned sharp. He stared at Zhang Li and said firmly, âYaoyao doesnât need your apology either. If you really feel sorry, stay away from her life in the future. She will be very happy without you.â
Zhang Li panicked and said anxiously, âPresident Liang, 1 really know my mistake. Yaoyao has always yearned for kinship and motherly love. Iâll make up for these. Just let me see her.â
Liang Xunâs expression darkened. He sneered. âHa, so Madam Zhang has always known that Yaoyao craves kinship and motherly love. Then why didnât you give them to her when she needed them the most? Itâs too late now. Iâll give her the kinship she wants. As for motherly love⦠she probably wonât want it anymore.â
Zhang Li staggered back. She didnât want maternal love anymore? Hence, she didnât want her as a mother anymore.
Despair, sadness, pain, hatred⦠These negative emotions enveloped Zhang Li. She was in a daze, as if her soul had been sucked out.
Liang Xun was not moved at all. He remained silent and waited for Zhang Li to come back to her senses.
Zhang Li stood there in a daze for more than a minute. When she came back to her senses, she looked at Liang Xun sadly. âWhat should I do? What should I do to make Yaoyao forgive me?â
Liang Xun found it funny that she came to ask him. He raised his eyebrows and said, âI just said that itâs best for you to stay away from Yaoyao. Madam Zhang should have seen the comments online. This was all caused by your precious eldest daughter. We spent a lot of effort but we still couldnât suppress all the bad news.â
âThe reason why Yaoyao is suffering now is all because of you. I heard from Yaoyao that you found someone to tell your fortunes and Yaoyaoâs fate is said to be incompatible with yours. From the looks of it, itâs true. Nothing good happened to Yaoyao when she met you. From the moment she was born, having a mother like you might be her greatest misfortune.â
Zhang Liâs face was pale, as if she had been struck by lightning. She was shocked and helpless, and her heart was ashen.
After Liang Xun said that, Zhang Li did not say anything and dragged her soulless body out of the Liang Corporation..
