Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhang Li saw Cheng Wan’s hesitation and hurriedly said, “I’m not saying anything. 1 just… I just want to apologize to her.”
In the end, Cheng Wan agreed to help her, but she was rejected when the call went through. Moreover, the person who rejected her was Liang Xun.
Cheng Wan told Zhang Li the truth about Liang Xun’s words. Zhang Li was stunned when she heard that. She muttered, “Yes, what’s the use of an apology?”
Seeing her strange expression, Cheng Wan was worried that she would take things too hard. She couldn’t help but say, “Don’t do anything stupid. Whether you feel guilty or want to make up for it, you should take good care of yourself first. Only then will everything be possible.”
Cheng Wan left after saying that. No matter how angry she was, she still could not bear to see Zhang Li like this.
Every time she had this thought, she would feel sorry for Jing Yao. These two emotions made her feel very conflicted and uncomfortable, so she could only leave as soon as possible.
After Cheng Wan left, Zhang Li sat by the bed dejectedly, but there was a strange look in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
After sitting there in a daze for more than 10 minutes, Zhang Li walked to the table and sat down. She opened the lunch box that Cheng Wan had brought and finished the food inside bit by bit. She almost vomited a few times, but she forced herself to hold it in.
After eating, she went to the bathroom to tidy herself up before going out.
However, before she could go out, the ward door was pushed open.
At this moment, only Cheng Wan remembered her. She looked up expectantly. When she saw who it was, her expression froze, and her eyes were filled with undisguised disgust and hatred.
“What are you doing here?” Zhang Li looked up, unwilling to look at him completely.
Jing Mo stood at the door cautiously. His face was still as handsome as when he was young. Although there were already a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes, it did not affect him. Instead, it added a hint of maturity to him.
Jing Mo adjusted his breathing slightly and said with a fawning smile, “I’m here to see you.”
Zhang Li sneered. She was hospitalized because Jing Yuan pushed her. It had been so long, and Jing Mo had never thought of coming to see her. Now that Jing Yuan had just met with an accident, he came. His motive for coming here was obvious.
“I won’t interfere in Jing Yuan’s matters anymore. She asked for it.” Zhang Li’s expression was cold, and her voice was even colder.
Jing Mo closed his eyes fiercely. He had tried to please Zhang Li for so many years. Zhang Li was born into a rich family, so it was inevitable for her to have a temper. Every time, he would lower his head first and coax Zhang Li. This time, he thought it was the same.
He took a few steps closer to Zhang Li with a smile on his face. This was probably the advantage of his looks. This man was clearly rotten to the core, but he still looked elegant. Zhang Li had first taken a fancy to Jing Mo’s face.
She used to find him pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at him, but now that she saw him, she felt like vomiting. This was because once she saw his true colors, she would know what he was thinking at this moment.
Seeing Jing Mo approaching, Zhang Li took a few steps back. She did not hide the disdain on her face.
Jing Mo paused and felt humiliated. After completely falling out with Zhang Li, he thought that he would never look for Zhang Li again. Now that Jingxuan was gone and his relationship with Jing Yao was basically cut off, he felt that there was no point in looking for Zhang Li anymore.
However, after what happened on Weibo, his intuition told him that something would happen. By the time he remembered to remind Jing Yuan, it was already too late.
For the past few days, he had gone overseas to look for his good friend to think of a way to get Jingxuan back. He basically did not have time to care about Jing Yuan. As for Zhang Li, he had not even thought about it. However, he had no other way now. Only Zhang Li could help with Jing Yuan’s matter.
Even though Zhang Li had not interacted with her mother’s family for decades, she was still the daughter of the Zhang Family. Blood was thicker than water. As long as Zhang Li took the initiative to look for the Zhang Family, her brother would not ignore her even if her father, Old Master Zhang, could harden his heart.
“Lili, you dote on Jing Yuan the most. You two are the closest mother and daughter. Can you bear to let her stay in a place like prison? She’s only 22 years old and her health isn’t good. She can’t stand it inside. Can you help her?” Jing Mo reached out to pull Zhang Li.
Zhang Li quickly avoided him. This action made her dizzy and she almost fell to the ground. Ever since her head was injured by Jing Yuan, she would feel dizzy every time she moved too violently.
“She’s only 22 years old?” Zhang Li stabilized herself and snorted sarcastically. “What about my Yaoyao? How old was she then? Jing Mo, what’s your heart made of? Yaoyao is also your daughter. Jing Yuan will never be able to repay the hardships she suffered since she was young..”
