Seeing Li Manman’s quirky attire, everyone was dumbfounded: "Oh my God, Manman, what craziness are you up to again?"
Li Manman was wearing some non-mainstream clothes, with chains hanging on them, and a wig on her head—a short coffee-colored bob that matched quite well with her unconventional outfit.
Li Manman now looked like a rebellious little girl.
Li Manman forced a smile, tugging at the corner of her mouth: "I can’t help it. My mom is insisting that I go on a blind date. I’m so beautiful, what if the guy likes me and can’t stop thinking about me? So just in case, I have to preemptively strike."
After speaking, Li Manman checked herself in the rearview mirror: "I seem to have gone a bit overboard."
"Only you could come up with something . Aren’t you afraid your mom will kill you when you get home?"
"Let her go ahead. If she kills me she’ll be left childless."
So you rely on being the family’s only child to act without fear.
After parking at the restaurant, Li Manman and Han Xi entered a private room. Inside was a man with a gentle and refined appearance, sitting cross-legged on the sofa. Hearing footsteps, he looked up, momentarily dazed, but soon returned to normal.
"Hello, I’m Li Manman, and this is my friend Han Xi," Li Manman introduced with a smile.
"Hello, Du Jie Kai." After speaking, the man very gentlemanly helped pull out chairs for the two of them, and then sat down across the table.
Once they ordered, the waiter quickly brought the dishes.
Du Jie Kai and Li Manman occasionally exchanged a few words. Han Xi remained silent, quietly eating at her seat. Almost finished, she felt staying here was quite dull, and found an excuse to go to the restroom.
Coming out of the restroom, Han Xi stood at the sink, rinsed her hands, then pulled out some tissues to dry them. She was about to return to the private room when she saw her father and his wife and daughter walking towards her.
Initially wanting to avoid them, Han Xi was called: "Sister, what a coincidence, you’re here for dinner too."
Han Xi turned her body, her gaze distancing as she swept over the three in front of her, with a sarcastic smile: "You can eat whatever, but don’t say whatever. I’m not your sister."
Han Yaxin looked pitifully at her own father, as if she had suffered some great injustice.
"Xiao Xi, tomorrow is your birthday, come home. Dad will celebrate your birthday."
Han Xi found these words particularly ironic and ridiculous: "Mr. Han, ever since my mom passed away, I haven’t celebrated a birthday, and I already stopped having a home long ago."
Han Xi’s words were like a knife piercing into Han Guanghong’s heart. He knew he was sorry to Han Xi’s mother and to this daughter.
"Xiao Xi, don’t be angry with Dad anymore. I know everything is Dad’s fault. Let me make it up to you, okay?"
"How does Mr. Han intend to compensate? Can you bring my mom back to life to be by my side again?"
Han Xi’s words were filled with hatred, as she held her phone tighter bit by bit.
Standing silently beside them, Zhang Min reached out to hold Han Xi’s hand gently and spoke: "Xiao Xi, don’t blame your dad, blame me. I was confused at the time. Considering how he’s been remorseful all these years, please forgive him."
"Forgive? That’s ridiculous. Why should I forgive you? You three are the ones who killed my mother. Why should you live happily while I have to forgive you? Zhang Min, who gave you the face to stand in front of me asking for forgiveness?" With that, Han Xi shook off Zhang Min’s hand.
