Chapter 140 - 135: If this place doesn’t welcome me, there will be another place that does.
Yi Luowa nodded, "Aunt, if you’re busy, once Tong Airui comes out, I’ll have him call you back, okay?"
"He’s just like his dad; he definitely won’t answer my calls anytime soon. The reason I called is actually because I wanted to talk to you and apologize."
Ni Lu spoke sincerely, making Yi Luowa feel a bit embarrassed. She pinched her earlobe lightly, "Aunt, elders apologizing to juniors—where would you ever hear of something like that?"
"An apology is necessary. The fact that Shiqing turned out the way she has is because your uncle and I didn’t discipline her well. You’ve been wronged," Ni Lu paused, then continued, "Rui’er’s wife, I heard that Xi Meichen brought you back. With a foster mother like her, child, you’ve had such a tough life. If you don’t mind, consider me as your family from now on. If anything ever comes up, just tell me—I’ll absolutely stand up for you."
Yi Luowa’s heart warmed, and she smiled, "Thank you, Aunt."
After chatting with Ni Lu for a while, Yi Luowa hung up the phone and grinned as she said to Tong Airui, "Ni Lu Aunt is so nice; she’s nothing like Shiqing."
"Who knows who she takes after," Tong Airui snorted coldly.
"Enough about her. You go rest for a while; I’ll go check on my second uncle, okay?" Yi Luowa said as she was about to leave, but Tong Airui forcefully pulled her back.
"Wife, we need to have a serious talk."
"Talk about what?" Yi Luowa asked, puzzled.
"No matter where you go in the future, can you bring me along?" Tong Airui asked pitifully.
