Li Ronghua saw that Li Jiawei really didn't want to join the group, so he smiled and said, "Okay, since you have made your plans, it's up to you. I won't interfere."

However, just as they said this, they heard the sound of something being smashed suddenly coming from the second floor. The three of them were startled and quickly got up and ran to the second floor.

Li Ronghua went up to the second floor first and came to his and Jing Qiu's bedroom. He pushed open the bedroom door and saw Li Xuanbao kneeling on the ground. Jing Qiu was standing in front of her trembling all over. Broken sculptures were scattered on the ground.

Such a scene made the three people who came up not understand what was going on. They only knew that Jing Qiu looked at Li Xuanbao with eyes full of resentment.

Li Ronghua suppressed his doubts, walked in quickly, hugged Jing Qiu, gently held her clenched fists, and slowly let her relax: "Dear, relax. No matter what happens, I'm here."

Then he looked at Li Xuanbao who was kneeling on the ground and said, "What did you do to make your mother so angry? Apologize to your mother now!"

But Jing Qiu's resentment did not diminish despite Li Ronghua's persuasion. Her body was still tense and trembling. She looked straight at Li Xuanbao and asked, "Why? Why did you do this?"

Li Xuanbao lowered her head, not knowing how to answer. She knew that it was useless to say anything now, the mistake had been made, and she was willing to accept any punishment.

Jing Qiu looked at the silent Li Xuanbao, turned around and leaned on Li Ronghua's shoulder: "It would be great if you could lie to me forever! You go first, I don't want to see you now."

Li Xuanbao knew that Jing Qiu was emotional now, and she didn't want to irritate her anymore. She took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the ground. Her face was unusually red. "Mom, I love you. I really love you and Dad." After saying that, she turned and left. Seeing Li Jiawei and Li Yan standing outside the door, she paused for a moment, then walked to Li Jiawei and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Li Jiawei looked at Li Xuanbao in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly apologized to her. But Li Xuanbao did not answer her question, did not say anything more, and went straight downstairs.

After Li Xuanbao left, Jing Qiu seemed to have lost all support and collapsed. If Li Ronghua hadn't supported her, she might have already fallen to her knees.

Li Ronghua looked at Li Yan and Li Jiawei standing in front of the bedroom door and said, "You guys go back and rest first. I'm here, don't worry."

After Li Yan and Li Jiawei looked at each other, Li Yan said to Jing Qiu: "Mom, we are all here, call us anytime if you need anything."

Jing Qiu's body was stiff now, but he still pulled himself together, and managed to force a smile at Li Yan and Li Jiawei, then said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Li Yan and Li Jiawei turned around and left. When they parted at the stairs, Li Yan said to Li Jiawei: "Don't think too much, many things have nothing to do with you."

Li Jiawei understood what Li Yan meant. Li Xuanbao's "I'm sorry" was too abrupt, which made people think too much. She smiled and nodded in response to Li Yan: "Brother, I know, I won't let my imagination run wild."

Li Yan smiled and touched Li Jiawei's head, saying, "Go upstairs and have a good rest. No matter what happens, Dad and I are here."

Li Jiawei smiled at Li Yan and went upstairs.

Li Yan watched Li Jiawei return to the bedroom, sighed, looked at his parents' room, and sighed again. He didn't know what Li Xuanbao had said to his mother that had caused her to react so violently that she even smashed her favorite sculpture.

Back in the bedroom, Zhong Xinlan was sitting on the bed reading a jewelry design magazine. Seeing Li Yan coming in, she put down the magazine and asked, "I just heard a noise upstairs. What happened? How is Mom?"

Zhong Xinlan also went out just now, but when she saw that the atmosphere was not right, she quietly retreated back to the room.

Li Yan took off his coat, untied his tie, rubbed his neck and said, "Mom is fine, but she didn't say what happened."

Zhong Xinlan got out of bed, took Li Yan's tie, and asked, "Did Xuanbao tell her mother anything?"

Li Yan hugged Zhong Xinlan, kissed her on the forehead and said, "Don't think too much. If mom wants to tell us, we will know." Then he looked into the inner room and asked, "Are the children asleep?"

Zhong Xinlan nodded: "Yeah, I'm asleep."

Li Yan said, "I'm going to take a shower first. I still have some documents to look at at the company. You don't have to wait for me. Go to bed early."

Zhong Xinlan pulled Li Yan, kissed him on the cheek and said, "Don't be too tired."

Li Yan smiled and nodded, then went to the bathroom.

Zhong Xinlan looked at Li Yan's back, shrugged, then went back to bed and continued reading her magazine, no longer worrying about those unimportant things.

Here, Li Ronghua helped Jing Qiu lie down on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and asked softly, "What did Xuanbao say to you that made you react so violently?"

Jing Qiu looked at the anxious Li Ronghua, reached out and held his hand beside him: "Ronghua, am I a failure? I can't do anything well, and I can't even take care of my own children!"

Although Li Ronghua didn't know what Li Xuanbao said to Jing Qiu, he felt very distressed when he saw Jing Qiu in such pain. He comforted her, "It's not your fault that the child was taken away by mistake. We all don't want this to happen, but fortunately, Jiawei is back now."

Jing Qiu shook her head: "You don't know, you don't know." Then, she turned her back to Li Ronghua, not knowing how to start. She knew that Li Ronghua's love for Xuan Bao was no less than hers.

When Li Xuanbao was little, she grew up almost on Li Ronghua's back. Li Ronghua doted on Xuanbao to the point of wanting nothing more than the stars.

Moreover, after Li Xuanbao went abroad to study, no matter how busy Li Ronghua was every month, he would take time to visit her and stay with her for two days. The nanny, driver, chef, and bodyguard in the family were all carefully selected from China to accompany her abroad, fearing that she would suffer any grievances abroad.

But now, Li Xuanbao actually told her that she had known for a long time that she was not their biological daughter, but had always kept it a secret from them, and had been enjoying their kindness to her with peace of mind.

However, when she was enjoying everything they gave her selflessly, had she ever thought about what kind of life their biological daughter was living?

Jing Qiu couldn't help but think of what Jiang Qin said to her tonight: "In fact, Jiawei's suffering is much greater than what you see Xuanbao suffering now!"

Jing Qiu clenched his teeth tightly and let the regret consume his heart.

Li Ronghua looked at Jing Qiu's trembling back, listened to her suppressed sobs, sighed, lay on the bed, then hugged her from behind, gently stroked her sweat-soaked hair with heartache, and said, "If you want to cry, just cry. I'll always be with you."
