CHAPTER 629: CHAPTER 546: GOOD DEEDS EVERYWHERE

"Even if I beg you, is that alright? It’ll only take a few minutes!"

Li Si glanced around her, surrounded by strangers. With so many hidden enemies in the dark, she was afraid something might happen. "This isn’t the place to talk. Come with me to the car."

"Ah! Alright!" Tian Yaruo quickly agreed with gratitude, exchanged a look with Yan Xuefeng, and followed behind Li Si to her car.

Jiang Tong tactfully got out of the car and stood nearby on guard.

Tian Yaruo looked at Li Si with a sense of relief. "You’ve recovered so well after childbirth; you’re still so beautiful! Is the baby healthy and strong? Can he crawl yet?"

Li Si didn’t want to hear these things and cut straight to the chase. "Whatever it is, just say it!"

"I heard you moved your father’s grave to Beijing. Can you tell me the address? I want to go visit him!"

She had heard the news and tried to investigate for a long time, but she couldn’t find out the exact location of the grave.

Li Si sneered coldly. "Is it even necessary? What, do you want my father to find no peace even after his death?"

Pulling something like this now—why didn’t you think of visiting him to see how he was doing while he was alive?

Tian Yaruo’s face was full of guilt, and tears instantly rolled down her face. "I know it’s all my fault! If it weren’t for me, your father wouldn’t have wasted his whole life! And you wouldn’t have..."

She found it hard to continue. Even after their later reunion, she had never brought warmth or maternal love to Li Si, only hurt her time and again.

Until Li Si built a thick wall around herself, leaving nothing but coldness and indifference.

"Save your tears! Let me tell you this—there’s no way I’m telling you where my father’s grave is! How would I know if you’re hiding some sinister motive? The entire Tian Family is full of bad people! What if you find out the address and start scheming again?"

Li Si didn’t trust Tian Yaruo and her people anymore! Especially Tian Yaru and Mr. Tian Sr.—they were all trouble!

Besides, her father probably wouldn’t want to see her. He’s dead; what’s the point of putting on such a hypocritical show for others?

What, did they think Li Si would be moved by this and reconcile with her eventually?

Dream on!

Tian Yaruo wept even harder, choking out, "How can you think like this! I admit, the Tian Family has brought a lot of harm to you and your father! But I’m different—after all, I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. You’re a mother now too, can’t you understand my pain? How could I possibly hurt your father again?"

She was filled only with guilt toward Li Guoqiang.

During countless quiet nights, she had imagined: if she hadn’t sent that letter back then, wouldn’t everything have been different?

When her family moved that year, if she had been braver and taken the chance to run away.

If she had held firm later on and not believed Qi Yayun’s lies, but had gone to North City herself—would she have avoided marrying Yan Xuefeng?

But now, whatever she said was too late!

Li Si impatiently scolded, "Are you finished? If you have nothing else to say, get out! My son is waiting for me at home!"

Tian Yaruo hurriedly wiped her tears, nervously asking, "Don’t rush! There’s one more thing. I just want to know where you’ve taken Tian Yaru.

She brought this upon herself and deserves some punishment! But after all, she’s getting old now. Can you spare her, just for the fact that I gave birth to you?"

Mrs. Tian Sr. cries every day at home, and that’s why I—"

This was her real reason for stopping Li Si. Ever since the video incident broke out, Tian Yaru went missing one day after going out.

No one knew where she went. Ye Cheng and his people searched for a while but eventually gave up and moved back to his parents’ place.

But the Tian Family couldn’t give up—she was their family after all.

Mrs. Tian Sr. was devastated, and Mr. Tian Sr. fell severely ill. Ye Duowei, who was abroad and initially unaware of the situation, became suspicious when she couldn’t contact her mother. After inquiry, she found out and decided to finish her work overseas and return home soon.

Ultimately, it was Yan Xuefeng who speculated that perhaps Leng Mochen and his people were behind it, seeking revenge against Tian Yaru.

Following this train of thought, they actually did uncover some clues. That poster, Zhang Yao, wasn’t she locked up in a mental hospital?

So, was Tian Yaru being treated the same way?

They searched hard but found no trace; they still didn’t know where Tian Yaru had been taken.

Li Si’s eyes gleamed like daggers as she looked at her. "Are you crazy? Tian Yaru’s disappearance has nothing to do with us! Even if it did, you think I’d let your so-called gesture sway us and spare her?

You know what you’ve done. You know what she’s done. Are you already senile? Get out of the car!"

Li Si lowered the car window and shouted coldly, "Jiang Tong! Let’s go!"

Tian Yaruo, unwilling, shouted emotionally, "Li Si! Are you really this heartless? In the end, she’s still your aunt! Even if she did some terrible things, hasn’t her punishment been enough? Please, have some mercy!"

She knew how insincere her words were. Considering the things Tian Yaru had done over and over again, she hadn’t acted like an elder at all!

She regretted saying these words almost immediately, but thinking of her tearful, elderly mother, she couldn’t bear it.

Li Si sneered. "Aunt? Tell me one thing she’s done that treated me like her niece? That kind of relation? I wouldn’t dare claim it! And one last thing: her disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with us!

If you don’t believe me, go ahead—report us! Let the police come arrest us! Get out of the car! Don’t make me hate you even more! Don’t speak to me if we meet again! I won’t respond!

You may have given birth to me, but you abandoned me. Don’t glorify your role—you’re not worthy! Besides, I’ve already donated bone marrow to your son; we’re even now!"

Tian Yaruo had said Li Si was heartless! If Li Si truly were heartless, she would’ve never spared her a single word.

It was only after giving birth to Buding that Li Si softened a little—perhaps they could live without contacting each other, and there was no need for resentment, because strong emotions come from caring.

If she didn’t care, nothing would matter at all!

But now, she realized she had overestimated herself!

She hated her even more now!

Jiang Tong opened the back door, and Tian Yaruo had no choice but to get out. Li Si commanded Jiang Tong directly, "Drive!"

The car sped off, leaving Tian Yaruo standing there as the exhaust fumes faded away. She stared at the disappearing car, crying wretchedly.

Why did it end up like this? If only time could turn back, she would never have done those things!

But thinking of her aging parents, her heart twisted even more painfully!

Yan Xuefeng walked up behind her, gently patting her shoulder in comfort. "Yaruo! Don’t be sad!"

Tian Yaruo raised her tear-filled eyes to him. "It’s all my fault!"

Meanwhile, inside the car, Li Si sneered while staring out of the window, her expression dark and unreadable.

Did Tian Yaruo think she would still be heartbroken and upset? (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation! Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
