After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 509: No Longer a Child Who Wants Candy

Jing Qiu was choked and speechless. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. He just stared at Li Ronghua blankly. His mind went blank in an instant and he had no idea how to react. His eyes were full of panic and helplessness.

Seeing her like this, Li Ronghua no longer wanted to continue arguing. He loosened his hand on his wife's shoulder, slowly stood up, and said tiredly, "I'm going to wash up. Calm down and think about it carefully."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bathroom, leaving Jing Qiu sitting alone on the bed.

Jing Qiu watched her husband's figure disappear behind the bathroom door. She felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She slowly buried herself in the quilt, her heart was at a loss. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.

Seeing Xuanbao suffer, she subconsciously felt distressed, but how did things get to this embarrassing point step by step? She pondered over and over again, but could not figure it out.

On the other side, Li Jiawei drove out of the villa area, and the anger that had been pent up in her heart suddenly dissipated.

In fact, from the very beginning, she didn't seem to have any high expectations for Jing Qiu and Li Ronghua, so she couldn't say that she was very sad now.

Putting aside blood ties, to be fair, she actually gained the most in this incident of the wrong child being taken away.

Thinking about the hard days in the past and looking at the comfortable life now, she is a person who is easily satisfied, so she really can't bring herself to lament the unfairness of fate for the favoritism of her biological parents.

As I said, money can solve 99.9% of the world's troubles. As for the remaining 0.1%, it is nothing but the pretentiousness of people when they are rich, just some small emotions that are complaining without any reason.

Besides, Jing Qiu had given her enough. He had compensated her with material things for his emotional poor treatment of her, so what else did she have to be dissatisfied with?

But Li Jiawei couldn't help but have a headache when she thought of Li Xuanbao. She had never thought of competing with Li Xuanbao, and she usually avoided these competitive thoughts.

But she didn't know since when, without her knowing it, she became the target of Li Xuanbao's secret competition.

This one-sided rivalry caused her a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Just after arriving home, Li Jiawei hadn't had time to catch her breath when her cell phone rang. She saw that the caller ID was her father, Li Ronghua. She couldn't help but sighed, feeling helpless, but still raised her hand and pressed the answer button, saying, "Dad!"

Li Ronghua didn't hear anything unusual in Li Jiawei's voice, but he still asked tentatively: "Jiawei, are you still angry with your mother?"

Although Li Ronghua on the other end of the phone couldn't see it, Li Jiawei still forced a polite smile and said, "Dad, I'm not angry."

Hearing this, Li Ronghua felt a little uncomfortable.

He would rather Li Jiawei tell her that she was just dissatisfied and angry with Jing Qiu's behavior than for her to be so polite and distant to him, as if there was an invisible barrier between them: "Jiawei, if you are angry, don't hold it in. It's okay to tell Dad."

Li Jiawei was silent for a while, then thought carefully and said, "Dad, I understand that Mom has complicated feelings for Xuanbao. After all, it's been more than 30 years since they started dating, and it's hard to let go of it completely. She will subconsciously care about and feel sorry for Xuanbao, and this is human nature. I really understand, so I won't be angry."

After Li Jiawei finished speaking, although every word she said was "understanding", to Li Ronghua, these words were like sharp needles piercing his heart.

She expressed her understanding in everything, but Li Ronghua knew in his heart that this was because his daughter had never placed any expectations on him and his wife.

Realizing this, Li Ronghua was filled with bitterness, but facing such a result, he really couldn't blame Li Jiawei for being cold and ruthless. After all, what he and Jing Qiu did in the past few years was indeed biased.

Li Ronghua was overwhelmed by a strong feeling of powerlessness, and his voice was dejected: "Jiawei, you can actually blame us for being biased!"

Then, there was a long silence on the call, and Li Jiawei said softly: "I have grown up a long time ago. I am no longer the child who looks forward to candy from my parents and cries when I don't get it."

Indeed, they have a blood relationship that is thicker than water, but the missed time is like an unbridgeable ditch between them, making this relationship that should be close become distant.

The lack of companionship during those years cannot be filled after recognizing each other.

Li Ronghua couldn't help but think of the days when Li Jiawei had just returned to the Li family. In fact, at that time he could truly feel that she wanted to be close to them.

It's a pity that neither he nor Jing Qiu seized this opportunity. They ignored and missed it again and again, and pushed their daughter away.

At this point, they are only polite and distant when interacting with their own daughter. Who should be blamed for all this?

Li Ronghua was helpless and could only sigh heavily, then said: "Jiawei, don't take it to heart that your mother asked you to tell your uncle before. She actually loves you."

Li Jiawei listened quietly without saying anything in reply. She never denied Jing Qiu's love for her, but between her and Li Xuanbao, Jing Qiu subconsciously considered Li Xuanbao more.

Thinking of this, Li Jiawei calmly replied, "I understand, Dad. I won't take it to heart."

Then the father and daughter fell into a long silence, and the air seemed to freeze.

After a long time, Li Ronghua said with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice: "Then you should have a good rest."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiawei smiled bitterly and shook her head gently, as if trying to get rid of all the complicated emotions from her mind.

Then she looked at the documents on the coffee table, which her secretary Wen Xin had delivered in the afternoon.

Thinking of the contents of the document, Li Jiawei couldn't help but sigh, but after sighing, she felt that it was natural.

"Shortage of funds!" Li Jiawei's fingers kept tapping these four words on the document, and a slightly playful smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She was not gloating, but her mind was as clear as a mirror. She probably understood why Li Xuanbao was determined to marry out of Li Yuan.

Then I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but this news made me feel a little better.

Well, okay! She didn't need to deceive herself, she admitted that she did feel a little gloating.

After all, she is just an ordinary mortal, not a saint. Li Xuanbao has targeted her time and again. Can she expect her to greet him with a smile and without any grudges? That is simply unrealistic.
