The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 856 - 871: Meeting Your Family Was Her Blessing

Zhong Li shook her head vigorously, "It’s not your fault, Mom has already suffered a lot, from now on our family of three will never be apart again."

Yu Lu wiped the tears from her face, holding Zhong Li’s hand as they sat on the sofa, "Eat something first, only when you’re full will you have the energy to take care of Nancy, otherwise your health won’t hold up."

"Mom, I’ll eat, I’ll listen."

Zhong Li glanced at Gu Nanxi lying on the hospital bed, picked up the meal box on the table, and shoveled the food into her mouth continuously. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Yu Lu regained her memory due to the shock, a blessing in disguise; at that moment, when she saw the black car heading towards Zhong Li, she suddenly became clear-headed.

She bent over to pick up the plain water on the table and handed it to Zhong Li, "Eat slowly, don’t choke, have some water first."

Zhong Li nodded, took the cup, and drank a few sips.

Yu Lu turned to look at Han Xi, filled with an indescribable gratitude towards their family, "Thank you for giving Zhong Li a home and treating her well. I’ll surely repay you in the next life."

"Auntie, please don’t say that, we’ve long since regarded her as our family member." Hearing Yu Lu say that, Han Xi began to cry.

"Good child, it’s Zhong Li’s fortune to have met your family."

"Auntie, you just woke up, your body is still weak, let uncle take you back to rest first, my sister has me here with her."

Yu Lu had a mild concussion in her head, so she should not be too emotionally agitated.

Zhong Li put down the meal box in her hand, took a tissue to wipe the tears from her face, "Mom, let Dad take you back to rest first."

"Alright, I’ll go back first, but you mustn’t cry anymore."

Zhong Li nodded, "Don’t worry, I promise not to cry."

Qi Weidong helped Yu Lu up from the sofa, and after a few worried words to Zhong Li, they left together.

Returning to the ward, Qi Weidong took out the food that Han Xi had just brought over from the bag, "You’ve been so worried about your daughter, you haven’t eaten anything yourself."

Looking at Qi Weidong, Yu Lu suddenly felt a sense of time having passed, remembering when he left, Zhong Li was still so small, and she was still so young.

Despite Yu Lu being angry with him for leaving her and their daughter, all those years of him carefully caring for and accompanying her were also true.

"I’m not eating, I want to hear how you got by all those years."

Qi Weidong put the bowl in his hand onto the table, looked at Yu Lu with guilt, "I’m sorry, it was because of me that you and our daughter suffered so much."

"When I went back, I was locked up by my parents, I begged them to accept you and the child, tried escaping many times, but in the end I was always caught and brought back, they took my phone away, the room they locked me in had no communication devices to reach the outside world, I even tried a hunger strike to resist, but in the end, even when they laid me in bed and fed me through IV nutrition, they still wouldn’t let me come back."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lu was already in tears, she never imagined Qi Weidong would have endured this after going back.

Qi Weidong took a tissue to help Yu Lu wipe the tears from her face, paused, and continued, "When I finally got back, it was two years later, but I couldn’t find you or our daughter, all these years I’ve never stopped looking for you both."

"I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not taking good care of the child, which led to losing her, it was my fault for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a mother."

Qi Weidong gently embraced Yu Lu, "Don’t blame yourself, it was me who didn’t take good care of you both."
