Enemies meet again

  "Lao Si, this time she's back it's not that simple. You wait a minute and go find your older brother to tell him. None of you are allowed to leak the news about your second brother's unit, otherwise..."

  Bai Wen understood Old Master's meaning, he was afraid that shameless woman would entangle Second Brother again. He sighed inwardly and turned to leave.

  Bai Wenhui and his wife were both astonished when they heard the news of Li Qian's return.

  "Huh, this woman still has the nerve to come back. Fourth brother, don't forget that we have the agreement she left behind all those years ago. If she really dares to show up, use that thing to shame her. She's already done everything in her power, and now she wants to come back? Dream on! Tomorrow I'll call your second brother, you go back and tell Haoran and the others to keep an eye on Haochen, don't let that woman kidnap the child."

  Now they are all unclear what Li Qian's main purpose is for coming back this time.

  Bai Wenli didn't believe her excuses either, wanting to return to Erge's side. If she really thought that way from the start, she wouldn't have left; even if she did leave, she should have come back quickly or at least sent a message for the child. So he had to be on guard against this woman.

  Who would have thought that the next day, Li Qian actually found her way to Bai Wenli's home, this was something even Geng Mei didn't expect. If someone has no shame to this extent, what can they not do?

  Li Qiang had just arrived when Bai Wenli had just gone out. At first, Geng Mei didn't recognize her, a dark and thin woman, although she still had a good figure, but was obviously not as beautiful as before, looking much older.

  Seeing Geng Mei's somewhat puzzled look, Li Qian spoke up first, "Sister-in-law, you don't recognize me, I'm Li Qian."

  Geng Mei's eyebrows shot up as soon as she heard this. It was all because of this woman that her inner self had been blaming herself for a long time. If it weren't for her arranging the marriage between Lao Er and this daughter-in-law, Bai Wenyi wouldn't have suffered so much today. Although the person was chosen by Lao Er himself, she always felt that if she hadn't intervened in the matchmaking back then, none of these things would have happened later on.

  "How dare you come to our house. What did you do back then, what did you say? In what way did my second sister-in-law not treat you well? You had an affair and wore a green hat, but that's okay, you didn't even care about the child. How dare you come here now. Don't call me sister-in-law. I have nothing to do with you."

  Geng Mei didn't care about that set of rules this time. When they got divorced, it was because Er Xiao Shu had advised everyone, so no one said anything at the time. But now it's different, Li Qian came to their doorstep herself.

  Li Qian brought out that delicate and wronged look again, but unfortunately Geng Mei was a woman, and a rather just one at that. What she despised most about Li Qian was precisely this point - occasionally putting on that Lin Daiyu-like act, who was she trying to fool?

  Chong Li Qian hastily waved her hand, "Don't show off that move in front of me, Bai Wenyi might fall for it, but I won't tolerate it."

  Li Qian came over today with a request. She pretended not to hear Geng Mei's sarcastic remarks.

  "Sister, look. I already know I was wrong, I want to reconcile with Wen Yi, can you help me persuade him? Not for anything else, just for the sake of our son, you should also support us two. The child is innocent after all."

  Geng Mei sneered, "The child is innocent. Why didn't you say that back then? When you abandoned a two-year-old child and left with another man without looking back, why didn't you say the poor child was still young? With a mother like you, it's better for Hao Chen to not have been born. In his past life, he must have committed some kind of sin to end up with a mother like you."

  Geng Mei's voice grew louder, and the neighbors on both sides thought something had happened at their house and came over to take a look.

  However, when the onlookers heard Geng Mei's words, everyone in their hearts clearly knew who the woman in front of them was.

  What's meant by "good news doesn't spread far, but bad news travels a thousand miles" is that what Li Qian did back then was almost common knowledge in their circle, and at the time, it was practically the laughing stock of every household.

  This time everyone finally saw the real person, and they were all quite indignant. The men sympathized with Bai Wenyi, while the women sympathized with the young Bai Haocen being abandoned by his own mother.

  So for women like Li Qian, they can't afford to be polite, and you start criticizing this woman who has been abandoned from the beginning.

  Although Li Qian is a glib person, she can't cope with so many labor women and their friends. So many people and so many mouths, she can't keep up with the debate with anyone.

  Moreover, she was originally notorious and no one wanted to listen to her explanations and grievances. The people in the village joined forces to condemn Li Qian's behavior of abandoning her husband and child back then.

  Today, Li Qian, who didn't take advantage of the cheap price, finally slunk away with her tail between her legs, she couldn't stay in this place for a minute.

  Geng Mei thanked everyone in a grand manner: "Everyone, neighbors, thank you for today's matter. If not, this woman would have continued to pester us until when?"

  The lotus flower said with some sympathy, "You, your heart is too soft. If it were me, I would have driven her out with a stick long ago, and yet you still let her stay here causing trouble."

  But I guess she won't come looking for you again, it's enough that everyone has had a taste of her. Haha, really didn't think she'd have the nerve to come over and try to get back together with your little uncle, who knows what kind of medicine she's got in her belly.

  Bai Wenli returned home after finishing the phone call and found that a large crowd had gathered at his doorstep. After asking around, he discovered that Li Qian had indeed come to their house.

  Bai Wengui's eyebrows furrowed, "Geng Mei, people like this come once and you drive them away once. Her heart is not something you can compare with yours, maybe next time she'll get the better of you. This woman is vicious."

  Geng Mei also thought that her husband's words made sense, she admitted that she didn't have as many tricks up her sleeve as Li Qian, and if it came to scheming against people, she wasn't as cunning either. From now on, she would really be careful around this woman.

  "What did you tell Lao Er?"

  "What else can I say, I've told the truth. But I also warned Er Ge not to come back for a while. However, it's still up to Bai Wenyi to decide, and as his older brother, I can only remind him."

  Bai Wenyi couldn't help but feel helpless here, if he were Bai Wen Yi, he would have thrown such a woman to the ends of the earth, but he wasn't Bai Wen Yi after all, and there was no way for him to guess Lao Er's thoughts.

  Although he was telling the truth today, he was also afraid that Li Qian would find their second child and turn things upside down again, arousing Bai Wenyi's sympathy, which would be a loss.

  Li Qian finally returned home and was accepted by her family. After all, she is still the daughter of the Li family, no matter how bad she is, there's still a blood relationship.

  Li Qian didn't get any benefits from Geng Mei, so she went to the school every day to find Bai Haocen. She is the child's real mother, after all, and can't be stopped from seeing her own child?

  Unfortunately, Bai Wensheng personally came to the school and mentioned Bai Haocen's situation, firmly refusing to let any unexpected person from the Bai family come into contact with this nephew, and all other people were not allowed to see the teacher.

  Li Qian, after being rejected by her son, would often wander around the village where the Bai family lived, hoping to run into Bai Wenyi.

  As it turned out, she finally got her chance.

  After hearing the phone call from his elder brother, Bai Wenyi's days were also difficult.

  His ex-wife came back at this time, and he also couldn't figure out what Li Qian was thinking in her heart. To say that he didn't miss this woman, he might be deceiving himself, but to say that he really didn't hate her, Bai Wenyi also felt it was impossible. In fact, even he himself was quite contradictory.

  He really couldn't think of a solution, so he thought it would be better to go back and bring his son to his side, which would also allow him to take care of him more conveniently. He had already found a school for him, but unexpectedly, at the village entrance, he saw the woman he hadn't seen in almost five years.

  Nowadays, Bai Wenyi is not the Wu Xiaomon of the past. After two years of study and holding an important position in the unit, his current income is quite good. In any case, he appears to be a successful person with a refined and elegant demeanor.

  But looking at Li Qian, she no longer had the elegance of her former days. Her complexion was not as fair as it used to be in front of him, somewhat waxen yellow, obviously caused by long-term malnutrition. The clothes on her body were not quite suitable for her, probably picked up from who knows whose clothes at home.

  When he first saw Li Qian, Bai Wenyi didn't know how to treat her with the right emotions. He wanted to walk past her with his head down, but somehow felt a little unbearable. If he were to greet her, he didn't know what to say either.

  At his wit's end, Li Qian softly asked, "Wen Yi, are you okay?"

  At this sentence, Bai Wenli's eyes turned red, and he replied in a somewhat dull tone after a pause, "Do you think our lives as father and son are good or bad?"

  Li Qian's face was tinged with a bitter smile. "Wen Yi, if I said I really regretted it, would you believe me?"

  "Deeply sighing, she continued to say 'After leaving you, I haven't had a single day of peace. Whether you hate me or resent me, I've ultimately gotten what's coming to me. Now it's all good, my son doesn't recognize me, my husband is gone, and wherever I go, people point and whisper about me. Thinking back now, what was the point of it all?"

  Li Qian's words were heartbreaking, and even Bai Wenyi felt a pang of sorrow when he heard them. What kind of suffering had Li Qian endured in front of him before?

  However, he recalled his brother's warning and his old father's words, and his heart hardened. He thought of turning around and leaving, but was pulled back by Li Qian, "Wenyi, I really made a mistake, can't you forgive me this time? The child is still young, he can't be without his mother."

  At the mention of her son Bai Wenyi's eyes turned red, and if Li Qian didn't bring up anything else it would be fine, but as soon as she mentioned the child, that was Bai Wenyi's heartache.

  Her voice suddenly turned cold, "Li Qian, do you think it's only now that you've remembered we have a son? Isn't the timing a bit late? When you left, why didn't you remember that there was a two-year-old child at home with no one to take care of him? What should he do when he's cold, hungry, or sick?"

  Bai Wenyi's sharp words made Li Qian's face look a bit unsightly.

  Thanks for the gift from friends who suddenly looked back. The New Year is coming soon, also wish you all a happy new year and get more bonuses at the end of the year!
