After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Jiawei took a deep breath and walked to Jing Qiu and sat down. Seeing her mother's face was a little pale, she couldn't help but asked with concern: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jing Qiu took Li Jiawei's hand and patted it gently, his tone gentle but with a hint of fatigue: "It's okay, I just had a fever a few days ago, but I took medicine and got an injection, and I'm much better now."

Even though Jing Qiu said this, Li Jiawei still noticed that her hands were a little cold, and she was breathing slightly when she spoke, and it was obvious that her body had not fully recovered.

Li Jiawei couldn't help but feel guilty, and whispered, "I made you worry."

Jing Qiu couldn't help but feel a little sour when she heard what Li Jiawei said. This child is always so sensible that it makes people feel distressed: "Mom knows that you are a good child. I am sorry that you have been wronged over the years."

When Li Yan heard his mother say this, he subconsciously looked up at his father and Uncle Liang, only to see that they both had calm expressions and did not react to Jing Qiu's words at all.

Li Yan was shocked. It seemed that the elders had already made a decision between Li Xuanbao and Li Jiawei.

Just then, Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou walked into the living room.

As soon as Li Xuanbao came in, she saw Jing Qiu holding Li Jiawei's hand affectionately. She paused for a moment, but soon regained her composure. She pretended to be calm and walked forward, calling out, "Dad, Mom!"

Jing Qiu stopped rubbing the back of Li Jiawei's hand, looked up at Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou, and said calmly: "Sit down."

He Zhizhou glanced at Li Xuanbao and noticed that she subconsciously clenched her hands. He knew Li Xuanbao very well and knew that she was full of anxiety and tension. He gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her to relax.

He Zhizhou held Li Xuanbao's hand, trying to give her some support, and then said to Jing Qiu politely: "Thank you, auntie, when did you and uncle return home?"

Jing Qiu smiled and said, "I came back four days ago."

When Li Xuanbao heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Li Yan, feeling somewhat dissatisfied - they had talked on the phone several times, but he had never mentioned that his parents had returned to China.

But then she looked at Li Jiawei. She thought Li Jiawei would know it in advance, but from Li Jiawei's expression, it was obvious that she was also unaware.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanbao felt a little more balanced. At least she was not the only one who was kept in the dark.

He Zhizhou smiled, with a hint of regret in his tone: "Xuanbao and I were planning to fly over to see you, but I didn't expect you to be back already."

When Jing Qiu heard what He Zhizhou said, he just smiled and didn't say much.

Li Ronghua looked at He Zhizhou. He still liked this child very much. After all, he had watched him grow up. Li Ronghua said, "You are thoughtful. Your aunt and I knew that you were busy with work, so we didn't inform you in advance. How are the preparations for the wedding going?"

He Zhizhou smiled and said respectfully, "My mother also said that she would come to propose marriage in person when you and aunt are free."

Li Ronghua glanced at Li Xuanbao and saw that she was looking at him with a pleading look on her face, with a hint of uneasiness and expectation in her eyes.

Li Ronghua's heart softened, and he was about to say something, but his wife Jing Qiu said calmly, "As long as you are sincere in living together, there is no need to follow so many rules."

When Li Xuanbao heard her mother Jing Qiu say this, her face turned pale instantly, and her voice trembled a little: "Mom..."

There was a hint of grievance and confusion in her tone. Obviously, she didn't expect Jing Qiu to respond to her marriage with He Zhizhou with such an attitude.

He Zhizhou was also stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure, gently shook Li Xuanbao's hand, and signaled her not to be anxious.

Li Ronghua glanced at Jing Qiu, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Jing Qiu sighed deeply, held Li Jiawei's hand, looked at Li Xuanbao with complicated eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness and determination: "Xuanbao, after all, your biological parents are in Beijing.

Even if the parents of both sides want to discuss the marriage, your father and I have no reason to interfere."

When Li Xuanbao heard this, her eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled: "Mom, you and Dad don't want me anymore?"

Jing Qiu felt sad when he saw Li Xuanbao's appearance.

After all, Li Xuanbao was the child she had spoiled since she was young. Seeing her so sad, Jing Qiu felt bad too.

But she took one look at Li Jiawei, who was sitting next to her with her head down and a calm expression, and finally hardened her heart and said in a firm tone: "Xuanbao, you want too much. Your father and I will always be biased. Jiawei has suffered too much in the past, and I can't bear to let her suffer any more."

When Li Xuanbao heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears. She bit her lips tightly, trying not to cry out loud, but she couldn't hide the grievance and loss in her heart.

Jing Qiu resisted the urge to look at Li Xuanbao, but reached out and gently stroked Li Jiawei's hair, with a hint of determination in his tone: "In the future, if... you and this family can just treat it as a family of relatives. As for the rest, your father and I can't give it to you."

When Li Xuanbao heard these words, she felt her whole body stiffen, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and her blood almost flowed backwards.

She stared at Jing Qiu blankly, her mind was blank. After a long while, she murmured, "Mom... don't you want me anymore?"

Jing Qiu suppressed her sadness and closed her eyes to avoid looking at Li Xuanbao. She was afraid that she would be soft-hearted and that seeing the tears in Li Xuanbao's eyes would shake her decision.

She just whispered, "I am Jiawei's mother." Then she stood up, took Li Jiawei's hand, and went upstairs to the bedroom.

Li Xuanbao watched Jing Qiu leave, and immediately stood up and took two steps forward, wanting to hold Jing Qiu, but her feet stood still and could not move, as if all her strength had been drained away, and tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

Jing Qiu's words kept echoing in her mind - "I am Jiawei's mother." These words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart fiercely.

To be honest, at this moment, Li Jiawei was moved. She didn't expect Jing Qiu to stand by her so firmly and even be willing to make such a decisive decision for her.

After returning to the bedroom, Jing Qiu held Li Jiawei's hand tightly, with a tired but firm tone: "The lawyer will be here soon. I have some assets in my name, and I will divide them between you and your brother today."

When Li Jiawei heard this, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart and called out in a low voice, "Mom..." She didn't know what to say for a moment.

She had always been the type who wanted to repay others for their kindness. Moreover, this was the first time since she returned to the Li family that her mother chose her over Li Xuanbao without hesitation.
