Chapter 142 - 139 Youth Loss Fee
Li Si controlled her tone, glared at her with resentment, and said, "How am I supposed to tolerate her? It’s obvious that Mo Chen already paid for the ring, and then she and Yin Xian showed up and demanded that I take it off. I refused, so she started saying nasty things. Later, Yin Xian pulled her away. So you’re saying that every time I meet her, even if she curses me to death, I can’t talk back? Is that it?"
Tian Yaruo turned pale with shock. She hadn’t anticipated the situation would be like this. Seeing Li Si’s wounded expression, she quickly sat up, saying, "Tiantian, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have believed one-sided words. Don’t be angry at me, okay? I didn’t know this was the truth. Yesterday, your aunt called me and said that Weiwei ran into you while buying a ring. She claimed that you insisted on buying it, so she gave in to you, but you scolded her after. At the time, I also thought this didn’t make sense!"
"The guilty party accuses first! How could she have the audacity to spin the truth and twist black and white? We had clearly already bought the ring, and she showed up demanding I take it off and hand it to her, all because I acknowledge you—which apparently means I have to respectfully call her ’sister!’" Li Si, furious, sat up, yanking on her bathrobe as if preparing to leave. The oppressive atmosphere made her feel suffocated, even breathing became difficult.
What motherly love? It’s all nonsense. She only ever listens to one side and never trusts me! No wonder she called me out—it turns out she’s here to defend that shameless person. She doesn’t even bother to distinguish right from wrong before coming after me. And yet, she still expects what?
Tian Yaruo, panicking, rushed over to grab her, afraid that if she left, she would never speak to her again.
"Please! My child, listen to me. I was wrong, I truly was! Don’t leave, okay? I promise I’ll only believe what you say from now on, alright? Just give me one more chance! Just one!" As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. Her hair, which had been loosely tied, fell in disheveled strands, making her look nothing like the poised and well-maintained lady she had been moments ago.
Li Si felt a pain and bitterness in her heart as she sat motionless, blankly staring at the corner of the room from the beauty bed.
After a while, she made up her mind, wiping her eyes haphazardly and speaking coldly to her, "Aside from my father, who doted on me while he was alive, I’ve always lived like an abandoned weed. But I have my pride and my boundaries. Since you forsook us back then, you should’ve understood that even though I publicly acknowledge you as my godmother now, our relationship can only ever be that of occasional tea acquaintances. Don’t ever hope that I’ll be kind to anyone in the Tian Family or the Yan Family. They’re not worth it, nor do they deserve it!"
