Chapter 406 Behind you
Chapter 406 Behind you
At this time, the couple came out of the shopping mall and went to Fenglin Villa hand in hand.
Li Yuandong, who learned that Su Xiaoxiao was framed by Li Meng, sat in the living room waiting early.
"Girl, you have been wronged." Li Yuandong spoke first.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to let Li Yuandong know about this, but unexpectedly she couldn't keep it secret.
This incident today has spread not only to the Li family, but probably to the entire Jiangcheng.
I'm afraid that the grudge between her and Li Meng has become even deeper because of this incident.
She shook her head and said, "Grandpa, Hanchuan and Mom helped me vent my anger and punished Li Meng, so I don't feel wronged at all."
Li Yuandong hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Only after the couple sat down did he speak: "Girl, that Li Meng is not an easy person to deal with. You have to be careful of her in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao said without hesitation: "Grandpa, don't worry. I will definitely protect myself well in the future and won't let the bad guys succeed in hurting me."
As the wife of the president of Li Group, she was already a target of public criticism.
Even if Li Meng was not there, Su Xiaoxiao believed that there would be other people who wanted to deal with her.
Therefore, she not only needs to become outstanding, but also needs to learn how to protect herself and make the people in the Li family worry less about her.
Li Yuandong suddenly sighed and said angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that she is Guanzhong's daughter and our Li family and Yun family are old friends, our Li family would never let her go so easily after what happened today!"
Being forced to kneel down and apologize, and finally being beaten and scolded by his own father, compared to the fact that Su Xiaoxiao was framed by Li Meng, the grievances he had suffered were nothing.
She walked to Li Yuandong's side, took his arm and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, I know you care about me. But Hanchuan and Mom have already helped me vent my anger. Li Meng has lost face today. I guess she won't dare to do anything to me in the future."
Li Yuandong looked at the kind-hearted little girl and couldn't bear to blame her, so he just shook his head helplessly.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that things would not end like this. With Li Meng's temper, she would only get worse against her, so she had to be on guard.
It was at this time that she remembered why she went to the mall.
She looked at Li Yuandong. He used to be so strong that he didn't look like an old man at all, but now he looked much more haggard without her knowing when.
Su Xiaoxiao asked with concern: "Grandpa, how is your health?"
When Li Yuandong fell ill, she was still in a coma, so the couple didn't know much about his condition.
He did not give a direct answer, but just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that the weather is cold this winter, and Grandpa is a little afraid of the cold."
"By the way!" Before Su Xiaoxiao could speak, he deliberately changed the subject.
He asked Hanchuan, "Why would your Uncle Yun acknowledge Li Meng as his illegitimate daughter? Given your Aunt Hua's personality, she would definitely not agree. Is there any reason behind this?"
To outsiders, this matter is puzzling.
Everyone in the Li family knew that Fang Hua was a woman who could not tolerate any sand in her eyes, so how could she accept this illegitimate daughter? Therefore, there must be a reason why she had to accept it.
Only Li Hanchuan knew that Li Meng used his own bone marrow to save Yun Feng and made a deal with Yun Guanzhong, which led to his public acknowledgment of Li Meng's affair.
Besides, Yun Feng had not told anyone about his illness. Since Yun Guanzhong was determined to conceal it, it was not easy for him to reveal it openly.
If this is the case, the Li family and the Yun family may find it difficult to maintain their current relationship.
"Grandpa, this is Uncle Yun's family affair, and I'm not very clear about it." Li Hanchuan replied indifferently.
Li Yuandong knew very well whether it was clear or not. If Li Hanchuan really wanted to know, he could just send someone to investigate.
His unwillingness to know only shows that he has no interest in Li Meng's affairs.
This is good. He doesn't care about Li Meng's affairs, so naturally he won't let his granddaughter-in-law have any wild thoughts.
At this time, Li Wanqing walked in from outside.
After a few simple greetings, Li Wanqing said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Su Su, come and burn some incense for your dad with your mom!"
"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao stood up and walked to the other side of the living room.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lit a stick of incense seriously. After the worship, Li Wanqing spoke, "Xiao Su, I can see that Li Meng has been brooding over what happened between you and her. I'm worried that she will harm you in the future. Although the Li family can protect you, the villain's insidiousness is always hard to guard against. What if..."
Li Wanqing's worries were not unreasonable. Li Meng relied on Su Xiaoxiao's unknown identity to bully her and humiliate her at will.
Su Xiaoxiao also knew that only by revealing her identity would Li Meng be really afraid of her.
But she...
"Mom, don't worry, I will protect myself well in the future. My relationship with Hanchuan... Please give me some time to adapt. I will definitely not let you down."
Li Wanqing hesitated to speak, not knowing how to persuade him further.
After returning to the room, Su Xiaoxiao sat alone on the sofa, thinking seriously about the grievances between her and Li Meng.
She suddenly became unsure, was it because she was too persistent in wanting to be excellent, or was it because she felt inferior because she felt that she and Li Hanchuan were not a good match?
The door was slowly pushed open, and Li Hanchuan walked in from outside. Looking at the woman who was worried, he felt a sense of frustration in his heart.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Xiaoxiao broke the silence and confessed, "Hanchuan, there is something I want to discuss with you. For the time being... I don't want to go back to work at Li's."
Li Hanchuan didn't understand, but as his wife, she didn't need to struggle for a living.
However, he remembered that his wife was not the kind of person who pursued comfort.
"Why?" he asked hesitantly.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him seriously, "Hanchuan, I know you, mom, and grandpa don't mind who I am or what my identity is. But Hanchuan, I do mind!"
"From the beginning, you and I were not a good match, and I don't know why you like me. But I don't want to see you being scolded by others, and I don't want the rumors from the outside world to disturb our lives."
"So, I must become good enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and openly tell others that I, Su Xiaoxiao, am your Li Hanchuan's wife! This should be a very proud thing, not..."
Inferiority complex... Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to say these two words.
After all, the story of Cinderella and the prince requires a lot of courage to face the doubts of the outside world.
Li Hanchuan understood what the woman was thinking, and he was very happy. He was willing to change for himself.
But it was not his original intention to let Su Xiaoxiao change to cater to his life.
But she cares about the outside world and other people's opinions. He cannot influence her thoughts. The only thing he can do is to support any decision she makes.
The man fondly scratched the tip of the woman's nose and said, "Silly girl, I only love you, nothing else matters. If you want to do something, just do it. Even if you get into a big trouble, I will clean up the mess for you."
"Remember, I'm always behind you!"
The man's voice was firm yet gentle.
