Shu Mengling lowered her eyes, and there was a vicious cold light in her eyes. She even knelt down for her, but she still didn't relent. She had changed. She really had changed. She was no longer the same person as before. She just said a few words. A silly woman who obeyed her words with just a few tears.
Since this trick doesn't work, we can only take a gamble.
"I'm going to tell my father and grandma everything. I admit my mistake to them and ask for their forgiveness. If they don't forgive me, I will... leave..." Shu Mengling said as she got up from the ground and walked towards the door.
Shu Xin looked at Shu Mengling's back and didn't speak until she reached the door, "Stop."
Shu Mengling was obviously relieved and turned to look at Shu Xin, looking weak and obedient.
Shu Xin stood up and walked to Shu Mengling, "You know clearly that your father has a heart disease and your grandma is in poor health. If you go and tell them what you are doing, do you want to piss them off?"
Shu Mengling shook her head aggrievedly, "That's not the case..."
"I know exactly what you are thinking. Do you think I will not let you tell them what happened for the sake of dad and grandma's health, and then you can stay?"
A flash of surprise flashed through Shu Mengling's heart. Shu Xin actually guessed what she was thinking, but she quickly denied it, "I didn't think so, I really was..."
"I don't want to hear your excuses." Shu Xin interrupted Shu Mengling's show in a cold voice, "You can stay if you want. Promise me one thing."
"I have nowhere to go but here. As long as you let me stay, I promise you no matter what."
"You are not allowed to meet Huo Jibai from now on."
Shu Mengling clenched her hands on her side, but she had a heartbroken expression on her face, "If you don't tell me, I won't see him again. I have completely given up on him."
"I hope you will do what you say, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." Shu Xin dropped these words coldly and went downstairs.
Shu Xin will let Shu Mengling go mainly because she doesn't want to make Shu Youkang and Cao Guifang sad. No matter how much she dislikes Shu Mengling, Shu Mengling is Shu Youkang's daughter after all, and since Shu Mengling returned to the Shu family, she has been really good to Shu Youkang and Cao Guifang. Now that they have accepted Shu Mengling from their hearts, they will definitely not agree to drive Shu Mengling away at this time.
If they were told that Shu Mengling drugged Huo Jibai, both of them were in poor health, and they might get angry for something good or bad, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
At the lunch table, Shu Xin said: "Yanqing's mother said that on New Year's Eve, our whole family would go to Huo's house for a reunion dinner and have a lot of fun together."
Cao Guifang, "Why is this so embarrassing?"
Shu Youkang also disagreed, "No, this is not etiquette. How can there be any reason for your mother's family to go to your husband's house to celebrate the New Year?"
Shu Xin frowned, "Dad, what age is this? You still care about this. As long as everyone is happy, isn't it fine? The New Year is lively when there are many people. You injured your foot at the last party for his mother's birthday, and you and grandma didn't go. I just happened to go over this time to take a look. Don’t you care about me? Then go and see what kind of place I live and whether I am living well?”
Cao Guifang smiled, "You kid, you're a ghost. If you say so that we won't go, you should say that your father and I don't care about you anymore, right?"
Shu Xin smiled, knowing that Cao Guifang had agreed. If Cao Guifang agreed, Shu Youkang, a filial son, would definitely go, "I'm telling the truth." After saying that, he looked at Shu Mengling, who had been lowering his head to eat, and said, "Ling'er, Would you like to go too?"
