He Meiwei contacted the Dragon Mother, and since their last farewell at the Long Family, the two had not been in touch. She said she wanted to meet with the Dragon Mother, who told her that she had been playing mahjong at the mahjong parlor all night and asked her to come find her there.
He Meiwei quickly took a taxi there, just in time to see the Dragon Mother coming out of the mahjong parlor, and followed her into the car.
"Auntie, you shouldn’t stay up late playing mahjong; it’s not good for your health."
"It’s fine; I don’t do it every day. What happened to your wrist?" The Dragon Mother’s gaze fell on her wrist.
"I... I attempted suicide... but was resuscitated."
Shock flashed through the Dragon Mother’s eyes, "Suicide?"
"I just quit my job, Auntie. I’m not afraid of being a laughing stock, but I feel so useless, unable to make a lot of money, and even just surviving is a problem. But I have no friends and don’t know who to talk to."
"Don’t think like that. I’ve already taken care of your medical expenses; don’t refuse it. I don’t care about the money. But now that you’ve quit your job, what are you planning to do in the future? You’re not still thinking about suicide, are you? Please don’t think that way; life is so good. Why think about death when you’re so young?"
"I do want to find a good man to marry, but I fear no one would want me." He Meiwei cast her gaze downward, her eyelashes coated with a glistening sheen, "It feels meaningless to be alive."
"You’re just not very healthy, but you’re so beautiful, how could no one want you?" The Dragon Mother probed, "Should I ask our family bodyguards or something? There are many young men who are single."
Upon hearing this, He Meiwei felt displeased inside. The Long Family’s bodyguards...
No matter how good they were, she couldn’t want them.
What would Long Yubei and Gu Lili think of her?
How would they mock her in their hearts?
She felt this was beneath her!
She wanted to be superior to them!
But she couldn’t show disdain on her face, "They’re young and strong men; it’s better not to delay them with someone sick like me, Auntie. I know your son has said that I should not go to your home anymore, but I still want to visit the place where Mr. Long grew up, just this one last time. Auntie, may I?"
The Dragon Mother’s heart softened, "Alright, but don’t let Yu Bei’s grandparents see you."
"I’ll listen to you."
And so, He Meiwei followed the Dragon Mother once again to the Long Family Mansion.
In fact, Mr. Long and Old Madam Long were not at home, so after learning of this, the Dragon Mother breathed a sigh of relief, "You can look around as you like; I’m tired from playing mahjong all night and am going to sleep."
He Meiwei really hadn’t expected the Dragon Mother to be quite so nice to her.
She didn’t go outside, but instead went upstairs, and unconsciously arrived at the door of the study.
Just as she pushed open the door and saw Father Long inside, at that very second! He Meiwei felt as if heaven had presented her with a great opportunity.
She immediately went in and closed the door.
Seeing her, Father Long was very surprised, "How come you’re here again?"
"I just wanted to see the place where Mr. Long grew up, just this one last time, Auntie agreed, Uncle..." She quickly approached the desk, "Please don’t be angry; I’m just looking around, nothing else."
Seeing her about to cry, Father Long didn’t say much, "Then go look outside; don’t wander around in here."
"Alright, Uncle, you have something on you."
He Meiwei stepped forward, her hand reaching towards his clothes; she pretended to lose her balance and directly fell into Father Long’s arms. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
