After the divorce, I became a rich girl - Chapter 626 Eat inside and outside

Li Jiawei lowered her eyes to hide the complicated look in her eyes. Only by deeply understanding her current situation could she understand more clearly the irony hidden in her mother Jing Qiu's words.

Ever since she handed the evidence about Li Xuanbao to her uncle, she became an outsider in her mother's eyes.

However, Li Jiawei could only hold up her little face and said softly, "Mom, I have no plans to settle down in Beijing, I just want to stay there for a while.

I was going to come back a while ago, but Suisui and Nian Nian have just gotten used to the environment in Beijing, and it is the season change. It is difficult for the children to adapt to returning to Xishi suddenly, so I thought of coming back after they are more stable. "

Li Jiawei opened her mouth, but was speechless. Everyone knew about the suspicions and entanglements that had not been spoken out, so why did they have to break this window paper?

Just as she was struggling with how to respond to her mother, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

Li Yan and Zhong Xinlan walked down side by side and entered the living room. Li Jiawei quickly stood up and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, good evening!"

Li Yan smiled and nodded, and Zhong Xinlan also smiled in response. The two sat down on the sofa opposite Li Jiawei, breaking the suffocating awkward atmosphere.

As the daughter-in-law of the Li family, she knew very well that in this turmoil, there were some things that only her parents-in-law could say, and even if she harbored resentment towards Li Jiawei and Li Xuanbao, she could only hide those dissatisfaction in her heart and could never say it out loud.

Zhong Xinlan's face was as gentle as usual. She held an exquisite jewelry box in her hand and said, "Jiawei, since my jewelry brand appeared on the cover of "Meishang" magazine, the orders have increased a lot. This is what I promised to give you a long time ago. I designed it for you personally. See if you like it?"

Li Jiawei took the box with both hands. The moment she opened it, the dazzling bracelet shone delicately under the light. The exquisitely designed shape was eye-catching. "Thank you sister-in-law for your hard work. I like it so much!" She curved her eyebrows and smiled sincerely.

"As long as you like it." Zhong Xinlan raised her hand to tidy up the hair beside her ears. There was a bit of deliberate alienation hidden in the gentle curve, as if she was using this gift to build an invisible boundary.

Zhong Xinlan noticed the unhappiness surging in Jing Qiu's body, and also knew that she was so dissatisfied with Li Jiawei because of the matter between her husband and Xuan Bao. This was the first time since Li Jiawei returned to the Li family.

She smiled and said, "Jiawei finally came back. Mom, you should have a good chat with Jiawei. I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to cook some of Jiawei's favorite dishes."

After saying this, Zhong Xinlan stood up swiftly and walked quickly to the kitchen, escaping from this undercurrent-filled space.

Li Yan sat quietly on the sofa, holding a bright red apple in his slender fingers, turning it constantly, and rubbing the fine lines on the skin with his fingertips.

Li Jiawei lowered her eyes and said nothing, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the carved edge of the jewelry box.

Before returning to Xishi, she had already prepared herself mentally, so she could accept her mother Jing Qiu's words and deeds that were directed at her implicitly.

After all, she had heard even more unpleasant things before returning to the Li family. Therefore, these insignificant words had no lethality to her.

However, it was Li Jiawei's silence that completely ignited Jing Qiu's anger.

In her opinion, Li Jiawei's submissive look was clearly a pretense, a provocation after getting too cocky, and a disregard and provocation to her as a mother.

Jing Qiu suddenly slammed his palm on the coffee table, shaking the cups and plates. The harsh sound echoed in the living room, instantly tearing through the stagnant air: "Are you dumb? Don't rely on your uncle and Liang Yusen to back you up, and you can turn a deaf ear to my words?"

Jing Qiu's neck veins popped up, "Do you think you have grown wings now and you don't take me, your mother, seriously anymore?"

Li Yan's knuckles turned slightly white as he held the apple. He looked up at the tense scene, his Adam's apple moved but he didn't say a word.

Li Jiawei looked at Li Yan's back as she left, took a deep breath, and slowly raised her head. The mother in front of her had a frown on her face, her cheeks flushed with anger, and her face was a little distorted with anger, which was very different from her usual elegant and calm image as an artist.

Li Jiawei suppressed the complicated emotions surging in her heart and tried to calm her voice: "Mom, I am listening carefully to every word you say.

In my heart, I value you very much. I have absolutely no intention of neglecting or disrespecting you and dad."

Jing Qiu twitched the corner of his mouth and uttered a sharp sneer, his eyes full of sarcasm: "No neglect? This is the biggest joke I have heard today!

Having said this, she stood up abruptly, her chest heaving violently, her voice filled with uncontrollable anger: "Look at it now, your eldest brother has been implicated by you and cannot return to the company, and Xuanbao is still under investigation!

But what about you? From the time the incident happened until now, you have been hiding in Beijing and not coming back!

If I hadn't asked the shareholders of Meishang to put pressure on you, would you have planned to hide in Beijing forever?"

Li Jiawei took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Mom, you have to believe that everything I do is for the good of this family. I stayed in Beijing at that time to prevent things from getting more complicated. I was afraid that returning would make the situation even more out of control."
