Mrs. Lin seemed to have changed her temper. She took Yao Ting shopping every day, visiting one store after another. She even asked Yao Ting to try on clothes. Originally, Yao Ting had to catch up on manuscripts at night and had to deal with it the next day. After the torture of going shopping with Mrs. Li, he soon became sleep deprived. Li Haoran looked distressed and said something to Mrs. Li. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li said: "I was cruel to her, and you all think that I am It's too harsh. I want to repair the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for her? Haoran, what do you want mom to do?"
Li Haoran was speechless for a long time, and then he said: "Mom, Tingting has been busy rushing out manuscripts these days. She has been up and down all night. She needs enough sleep."
Mrs. Li raised her lips and sneered: "Haoran, do you think Mom is deliberately trying to embarrass her?"
Li Haoran sighed lowly.
"mom… "
"Okay, since you think I have ulterior motives, I'd better make things difficult for her on purpose."
"Mom, that's not what I meant. Forget it, just do whatever you want."
Mrs. Li then smiled with satisfaction.
The next day, Mrs. Li took Yao Ting to go shopping as usual.
After shopping for three days in a row, if Zhang Jiaqi hadn't called her to ask her out, it would have been difficult for Yao Ting to escape from the clutches.
Yao Yiyi looked at Yao Ting slumped on the table like a fish out of water. She made her a cup of honey grapefruit tea and said, "What's wrong, so listless?"
Yao Ting waved her hands feebly.
Yao Ting sat quietly beside her.
Yao Ting pretended to be dead for several minutes before raising her head.
Yao Yiyi looked at the thick dark circles under her eyes, frowned, and said, "Didn't you sleep well?"
Yao Ting took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "Don't mention it. My mother-in-law doesn't know what's going on these days. She seems to have changed her temper. She drags me shopping every day. Now I feel sick to my stomach when I see the clothes in the store. , she is really disgusted with me, and she tortures me in different ways. She is an elder, and I can’t beat her or scold me.”
Yao Yiyi's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Yao Ting raised her head and drank the honey grapefruit tea in the cup in one gulp.
"Honey, is there anything to eat?" she said bitterly.
"Wu Ma made some snacks and put them in the kitchen. I'll bring them out to you." Yao Yiyi got up and went to the kitchen, then went to bring out the snacks.
Yao Ting ate hard, looking like a refugee who had not eaten for several years.
Yao Yiyi patted her back and said softly: "Eat slowly."
It was okay if she didn't ask, but when she did, Yao Ting started coughing violently.
Yao Yiyi poured her a glass of water and said helplessly: "Tingting, look at what you have done to yourself. Those who know know that you are married, but those who don't know think that you have suffered something."
Yao Ting drank a glass of water and reluctantly suppressed the feeling of choking.
"My dear, please go out for a walk with me. I'm a little bored. My mother-in-law is always the same every day. One second she was scolding me, but the next second she was so kind to me. I even doubt her intelligence. Okay, if this continues, I will suspect that I am suffering from schizophrenia myself." Yao Ting said.
Yao Yiyi nodded.
The two went downstairs, and Yao Yiyi drove Yao Ting casually on the road.
As a result, when driving through a trail, both of them saw Zhang Jiaqi, Mrs. Li and Li Haoran walking.
Zhang Jiaqi was walking in front holding Mrs. Li's arm, and Li Haoran was following behind. The three of them looked more like a family.
Yao Ting tightened her grip on the seat belt and bit her lip, her eyes flashing with disbelief.
She remembered that Li Haoran told her that an online novel was going to be published today, so he had to go to the company for a meeting. At this meeting, he would accompany Mrs. Li and Zhang Jiaqi, and I was afraid that Li Haoran would be the only one there.
Yao Ting felt her mind was a little confused. She would rather believe that there must be some misunderstanding than believe that Li Haoran had deceived her.
She and Li Haoran obviously love each other so much.
Her hands were trembling, and she finally remembered to take out her mobile phone from her bag and dial Li Haoran's number.
After getting through, Yao Ting asked with a trembling voice: "Haoran, are you still in the company?"
Li Haoran softly said "yes" on the other end of the phone, which almost sentenced her to death.
"Tingting, are you okay with calling me now?" Li Haoran said softly there.
Yao Ting hesitated and looked at the man who was still following Mrs. Li and Zhang Jiaqi step by step. She never thought that Li Haoran would lie to her.
Her mind is very confused now and she can't figure out a correct procedure.
"It's okay. I just wanted to ask when you will get off work. Do you want me to bring you food? It's been a long time since I had dinner with you in the company. I miss you a little."
Li Haoran chuckled on the other end of the phone and said softly: "No, I'll just ask the secretary to pack a portion for me. You can just eat on time. Mom is not at home today. You have a good rest at home. I will buy it for you tonight." Your favorite pancake fruit."
"...Okay, that's it for now, I won't disturb your work anymore, bye." After Yao Ting finished speaking, she hung up the phone heavily, her eyes still focused on the figure not far away.
Yao Yiyi grabbed her hand, unbuckled her seat belt, and said, "Tingting, let's get down."
Yao Ting suddenly felt a little timid.
She held Yao Yiyi's hand, shook her head, and said, "Dear, don't, don't do this."
Yao Yiyi glanced at Yao Ting with some resentment. Since marrying into the Li family, Yao Ting has not been as cheerful and decisive as before, and has become timid when it comes to Li Haoran's affairs.
She was afraid that Yao Ting would be hurt in this marriage, but she also hated her for being so angry.
Yao Yiyi leaned on the car seat angrily, watching helplessly as Li Haoran and the others drifted away.
"Tingting, what are you afraid of? You wouldn't have been so timid before." Yao Yiyi raised her hand and patted the steering wheel, saying angrily.
The blood on Yao Ting's face faded a little, and her eyes kept flickering.
After a while, she sighed quietly and said, "Maybe she loves him too much."
"..." Yao Yiyi was a little upset.
Li Haoran vowed to her that he would be good to Yao Ting. What could make his promise so worthless
If she had known that this would be the outcome, she would never let Yao Ting have anything to do with Li Haoran that day.
Yao Yiyi said dryly: "Tingting, this may be a misunderstanding. You can ask Haoran in the evening."
Yao Ting looked out the car window in confusion, and said quietly: "Dear, I actually wanted to give him a chance to explain that phone call just now, but he lied to me."
Yao Yiyi knew that the most taboo thing between husband and wife was suspicion. If Li Haoran was really innocent with Zhang Jiaqi, he would not deceive her about this matter.
Yao Ting shook her head and said: "My dear, take me around for a walk. I don't want to go back to Li's house today. It's so smoky there that I can't find a sense of belonging at home. I thought there was still Haoran in the past, but now even he They all deceived me."
Yao Yiyi gave her a complicated look and started driving slowly.
At this moment, Yao Yiyi's words seemed pale and weak.
Li Haoran on the other end looked at the two people walking in front of him impatiently. He had no choice but to lie to Yao Ting just now. He was afraid that Yao Ting would think too much. He was indeed in a meeting in the company not long ago, but his mother was helpless. She called him and told him that Zhang Jiaqi was leaving T city. He had to come and say goodbye to her no matter what. If he didn't come, she would force Zhang Jiaqi to stay.
In order to get rid of Zhang Jiaqi's entanglement, he had no choice but to come, but he was really bored watching the two people chatting with each other.
"Mom, I still have something to do in my company, so I'll leave first." Li Haoran said impatiently.
Mrs. Li turned around and said, "Jiaqi is leaving right now. You can accompany us two to dinner. You and Jiaqi have a friendship that grew up together."
Li Haoran frowned.
Zhang Jiaqi said politely: "Haoran, don't guard me like a thief. I just want to have a meal with you. I will leave the day after tomorrow."
Li Haoran finally agreed.
The three of them went to have dinner together, and Zhang Jiaqi also asked them to go to the amusement park together.
Li Haoran's eyes were already a little impatient, but in order to quickly invite this god of plague away, he had no choice but to agree.
The three of them took another route to the amusement park, and Li Haoran followed them without much interest.
Zhang Jiaqi played with Mrs. Li for a while, and Mrs. Li made an excuse because she was tired and asked Li Haoran to play with Zhang Jiaqi.
Li Haoran refused directly: "Mom, I'm not interested in these."
When Mrs. Li wanted to say something, Zhang Jiaqi said considerately: "Aunt, it's okay. In fact, I'm not very interested in these."
"Since you're not interested, let's go." Li Haoran said with a straight face.
Zhang Jiaqi and Mrs. Li followed obediently.
Driving past a cold drink shop, Zhang Jiaqi said in a devilish manner: "Auntie, Haoran, let's go have a cold drink. This may be the last time I have a cold drink in T City. I probably won't have this opportunity again."
"Haoran, Jiaqi is about to go abroad, please agree to her request."
No choice, Li Haoran had no choice but to agree.
Li Haoran was bored and ate and drank with the two of them.
After playing at night, the three of them returned to Li's house together.
The servant came forward and said that the old man was late playing chess with his old comrades tonight, so he simply slept there.
A trace of proud calculation flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes.
"I know, let's go down."
After the servant left, Mrs. Li said, "Let me cook something for you two. You should be tired after playing all day."
Li Haoran tugged on his suit and tie and said impatiently: "Mom, I'll go up and see if Tingting is here."
Mrs. Li nodded.
"If she's upstairs, ask her to come down and eat together."
Li Haoran pursed his lips and did not respond.
He went directly upstairs and entered the bedroom, but Yao Ting was nowhere to be seen.
He called Yao Ting and was told that the phone was turned off.
Li Haoran walked back and forth several steps in irritation.
Stopping, he took a deep breath and tried to call Yao Yiyi, but he couldn't get through either.
He called Ou Qingheng again, and Ou Qing said coldly: "She is here with me, but you don't have to come over. She may be tired these days and is sleeping with Yiyi. When she wakes up later, I will call her again." Send it back."
Li Haoran frowned, keenly aware that Ou Qingheng's mood was not right.
"Young Master Ou, how about I go and bring Tingting back? It's always inconvenient for her to be at your place."
Ou Qingheng sneered and said calmly: "What, you don't believe me?"
Having said this, Li Haoran had no choice but to agree, although he was still quite worried.
