In the evening, Kuaikuai came alone to Jian Dan’s room.
"Mom, are you asleep?"
"Not yet!"
"There’s something I want to talk to you about!"
"e on!"
Jian Dan and Kuaikuai sat on the bed facing each other. "What do you want to say?"
"I want to have a heart-to-heart with you, Mom!" Kuaikuai put away the usual coldness.
"This must be the first time Kuaikuai has e to me for a heart-to-heart! Suddenly, my Kuaikuai isn’t cold anymore; it’s a bit hard to get used to!" Jian Dan smiled and stroked Kuaikuai’s little head.
"Mom, are you unhappy?"
"Aren’t we talking about you? How did it e back to Mom!"
"Isn’t a heart-to-heart supposed to be about sharing each other’s concerns?
Well, I’ll go first. Despite often arguing with you, deep down, I’m truly grateful to be your daughter. Although sometimes you can be quite scatterbrained, it hasn’t affected how much I love you; it actually makes my love for you even stronger. So what I want to tell you is, Mom, I love you!"
At this point, Jian Dan’s face was already covered in tears. She pulled Kuaikuai into her arms, "Thank you, Kuaikuai! Thank you for telling me this. Mom is really happy!"
"I’m done, now it’s your turn, Mom. Are you unhappy?"
"Sometimes I really think you kids being too smart isn’t always a good thing. Nothing can be hidden from you."
"Is it because of Chu Liyuan?"
"Kuaikuai, this is something you should keep to yourself, don’t tell Xiaokai and the others, okay?"
"That might be impossible. No one can bully the ones we hold dear, not even if it’s our dad!" Kuaikuai said coldly and left.
Casually, Kuaikuai gathered the four little ones and went to Jian Xiaokai’s room.
"What did you say? Chu Liyuan made Mom unhappy?" Qian Lele was the first to stand up and stomp his feet.
"I initially thought the reason they were not home these days was because Chu Liyuan whisked Mom away again. When I saw Mom e back alone, I felt something was off; turns out there is a problem." Jian Xiaokai patted his knee and said.
"Could it really be true? Dad loves Mom so much, how could he make her sad? Maybe there’s another reason," Xiaoxin was the only one defending Chu Liyuan at this moment.
"Then we need to find out!" Kuaikuai said coldly.
"Even if there’s a reason, making Mom sad is not okay!" Qian Lele said with hands on hips, frowning deeply.
That night, the lights in Jian Xiaokai’s room stayed on until dawn...
After finding some clues, just as they were about to tell Jian Dan, an unexpected guest arrived at Li Garden.
"What do you want to say to me?" Jian Dan sat upright on the sofa, looking at Selina Yu across from her.
"Jian Dan, I want to apologize to you. It was all my fault before. Please don’t blame Liyuan."
"Liyuan? You’re on such familiar terms. If you came today to ask me to step aside for the two of you, I can tell you very clearly, these words shouldn’t e from you; let him face me himself!"
"No, you’ve misunderstood. There’s nothing at all between me and Liyuan. There’s a reason for what you see. In fact, I’m not even the real Selina Yu. The real Selina Yu has been under our control for a while now."
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, Selina Yu’s father is the biggest drug distributor in Southeast Asia. They sent Selina Yu over to open the Asian market, so we’re using this opportunity to bring down this drug cartel. That’s why we reached out to Liyuan, hoping he would cooperate with us.
In order for Selina Yu’s father to believe that Chu Liyuan was really on their side, that’s why you saw what you did.
Liyuan didn’t want to do anything that would hurt you, which is why the messages he sent you were intercepted by me. So if you want to blame someone, blame me!"
Jian Dan looked incredulously at the woman in front of her.
"Then why are you telling me this now?"
"Liyuan is in trouble..."
Jian Dan’s heart dropped suddenly...
