Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 673: None of Your Business
Earlier, she smelled the ointment, but because she saw Cheng Li and was happy to leave that hellish place, she didn’t think much of it at the time.
Now seeing Cheng Li’s expression, she immediately became worried.
"None of your business!" Looking at Mrs. Cheng’s concerned expression, Cheng Li suddenly felt she was being hypocritical and growled.
"Xiao Li, you are my daughter, the one I carried for ten months and raised with all my care. If I don’t care for you, who will?"
"Now you say I am your real daughter? A few months ago, didn’t you say I was adopted? If it weren’t for your lies and deceit, how would we end up like this today?" Cheng Li’s eyes were red as she stared at her, mercilessly accusing her.
At this moment, she never thought that if it weren’t for Mrs. Cheng’s deceit, she would still be in Xu City’s prison like Jiang Mingzhu.
She wouldn’t be here now, shouting at her own mother.
"Me?" Mrs. Cheng was at a loss for words. Who was she doing all this for if not for Cheng Li? Yet, she didn’t appreciate it and even blamed her.
What kind of sin had she committed to give birth to such an ungrateful daughter? Even if she did make a mistake in this matter, she had still raised her for more than ten years.
Mrs. Cheng was heartbroken, looking at Cheng Li with a face full of disappointment. Meeting Mrs. Cheng’s gaze, Cheng Li felt a bit guilty, but thinking about her current life, her heart hardened little by little.
However, she didn’t say anything more. After a short while, the police brought their meals. Mrs. Cheng, seeing there was meat, habitually picked it up for Cheng Li to eat.
But Cheng Li’s face looked displeased. She disdainfully remarked that Mrs. Cheng’s chopsticks had saliva on them and said coldly, "There’s some in my own bowl. You just eat it yourself."
However, Mrs. Cheng didn’t catch Cheng Li’s insinuation and thought her daughter finally understood and cared for her, feeling happy as she ate the meat, her eyes welling up.
After eating, the mother and daughter didn’t talk and just squeezed together on one bed to sleep. Tomorrow, they would leave here and go back home.
Thinking of this, neither Cheng Li nor Mrs. Cheng could sleep. Mrs. Cheng wanted to talk to her daughter, to ask how the police found her, but she dared not open her mouth.
Just like that, the mother and daughter each with their own thoughts gradually fell asleep. Early the next morning, after breakfast, the mother and daughter boarded a train to Xu City with the escort of the police.
With the presence of the police, Old Jiang’s men had no opportunity to strike. Helpless, they could only call Old Jiang for instructions.
After hearing the report from the butler, Old Jiang looked displeased and then instructed the butler, "If that’s the case, let them withdraw for now."
"Yes!" the butler replied and went to return the call. The people in A City received the call and stopped following Cheng Li.
At this moment, Cheng Li was sitting on the train, completely unaware that she almost didn’t make it home. Of course, she didn’t know and was chatting with the police escort.
Cheng Li was quite articulate, and the policeman was also someone who liked to talk, and the two quickly got along. Seeing this, Mrs. Cheng felt relieved.
She was afraid that after this event, Cheng Li’s personality would change. Fortunately, it didn’t seem so; she still appeared cheerful, which reassured her a lot.
Cheng Li chatted with the policeman throughout the trip, spending the rest of the time talking besides eating and sleeping. Having someone to talk to made the journey less boring and improved her mood significantly.
