**********************

After Zhong Mu went to prison, Li Shuning found someone to have a word, ensuring Zhong Mu would live a life worse than death there.

As for Li Xiangning, although she took the money and ran, with her temperament, it didn’t take long for her to squander a lot and also get cheated out of money and affection, eventually returning miserably.

When Li Xiangning hadn’t returned, Li Zhu considered whether he should get back together with Jiang Xiaodie.

After all, they had been a couple for many years, and now seeing Jiang Xiaodie in such a miserable state, he felt a bit of compassion.

Li Zhu asked Li Shuning for advice, but Li Shuning said she didn’t know and left it up to Li Zhu to decide for himself.

Li Zhu hesitated because their divorce was due to Li Xiangning, and now that Jiang Xiaodie had learned her lesson, she might have regretted it.

Yet, having managed the Li Family for many years, Li Zhu was wise and didn’t show his thoughts on his face.

He planned to wait a little longer and observe the situation.

However, at this time, Li Xiangning returned. Cheated out of money and affection, she was extremely miserable. Somehow, she found out that Jiang Xiaodie was living in the manor and went directly to the door.

Perhaps having suffered, Li Xiangning had grown smarter, and she knelt at the gate of the manor every day, pleading with Jiang Xiaodie.

"Mom, I’m sorry. I sold the villa because the situation was quite special then. There was a business deal, and as long as it succeeded, I could have gotten multiple times the money. I didn’t want you to suffer, Mom. I also wanted to earn lots and lots of money for you, to give you a comfortable life. But when you went traveling, I couldn’t find you, and I had no money, so I did what I did. Mom, I was wrong. I got cheated and even insulted by those people. Mom, I really didn’t mean it. Please come out and see me."

Some people never learn from their mistakes.

Obviously, Jiang Xiaodie was one of those people.

In fact, it was because Li Xiangning called her, and Jiang Xiaodie herself revealed her whereabouts.

She felt heartache for her Xiangxiang, who had been kneeling outside for several days with no place to stay, in the freezing cold. The child just lingered by the door, spending every night at the entrance, in such cold weather.

Li Shuning wasn’t in the manor, and Jiang Xiaodie brought Li Xiangning inside.

Li Xiangning spoke sweet words, repented, and swore oaths, and finally managed to calm Jiang Xiaodie’s heart.

Upon learning that this huge manor belonged to Li Shuning, Li Xiangning felt yet another wave of unfairness in her heart.

Li Xiangning knew that Li Shuning usually wouldn’t come here, so she started plotting again in her mind.

"Mom, you’re staying here. Is Sister treating you well?"

Jiang Xiaodie sighed: "What’s good or bad about it? Shuning brought me here, probably just out of mother-daughter affection."

Then Li Xiangning learned that Jiang Xiaodie couldn’t even leave the manor, and without money, even if she did go out, it was difficult. This large estate was clearly not in the city, so how could she leave without money?

Li Xiangning incited trouble in many ways, and soon, Jiang Xiaodie harbored a lot of resentment in her heart.

Meanwhile, Li Xiangning smugly enjoyed herself.

She started having Jiang Xiaodie send all the servants away so she could search for the deed to the manor.

A manor this big would sell for a lot of money, wouldn’t it?

Indeed, Li Xiangning was dreaming big.

But Li Xiangning actually found the deed.

She even spread the news about transferring the manor.

What she didn’t know was that this manor was one of the Li family’s iconic properties, something she couldn’t just sell off casually.

Some insiders happened to meet Li Zhu and couldn’t help but jokingly ask what happened to the Li family, why they wanted to sell the manor.

Li Zhu was stunned, called Li Shuning, and only then found out Li Xiangning had returned.

Li Zhu was completely disappointed in Jiang Xiaodie.

Previously, he was thinking about reconciling, but he didn’t expect Jiang Xiaodie to be so forgetful of lessons learned.

When Li Shuning appeared at the manor, Jiang Xiaodie was momentarily stunned.

Li Shuning sneered coldly, "Mom, I brought you back to the manor so you could enjoy your later years, so you wouldn’t have to beg for a living in your old age. Who would have thought you’d conspire with Li Xiangning to try to sell my manor?"

Jiang Xiaodie was caught off guard. Although she had been incited to anger, she had no intention of selling the manor.

Looking towards Li Xiangning, Li Xiangning’s eyes wandered everywhere, and Jiang Xiaodie realized that what Li Shuning said was probably true.

"Shuning, I’m sorry, I didn’t know..."

"Mom, is it always enough to just say you didn’t know? If the manor gets sold, what will you use to compensate? By then, Li Xiangning might have taken the money and gone off with Xiao Yao again. As for you? Do you think I’d still take you in?"

Jiang Xiaodie felt a wave of sorrow wash over her as she cried bitterly, unable to say anything.

"Mom, you should leave. You’re not welcome here. Since you love your little daughter so much, live with her from now on."

Li Shuning was no Holy Mother.

Jiang Xiaodie and Li Xiangning were kicked out, and Jiang Xiaodie didn’t want to stay with Li Xiangning any longer. However, Li Xiangning knew all too well that Jiang Xiaodie was her last lifeline and clung to her tightly.

Jiang Xiaodie went to the Jiang Family, but everyone in the circle knew that Jiang Xiaodie was confused. Li Shuning was supporting her, yet she and Li Xiangning almost sold Li Shuning’s large manor. Who would dare take her in?

No one could be sure what those mother and daughter might do next.

The Jiang Family gave Jiang Xiaodie some money, then drove them off.

Eventually, Jiang Xiaodie rented a small room and went out to work, while Li Xiangning stayed home. Any slight dissatisfaction made her curse at Jiang Xiaodie relentlessly.

Jiang Xiaodie fell ill, but Li Xiangning wouldn’t let her go to the hospital.

It wasn’t until Li Zhu found out and sent her to the hospital.

As for Li Xiangning, without Jiang Xiaodie’s money supporting her, with her bad personality, she couldn’t find a job at all. In the end, she could only depend on men to live, willing to do anything as long as they provided her with food, clothes, and money.

When she met Li Shuning again, seeing that Li Shuning was still beautiful and in high standing, Li Xiangning looked at herself, already worn and aged. For the first time, she felt a bit regretful. If she had done well as the second lady back then, would things be different now?

Jiang Xiaodie was still alive but stayed in the hospital long-term. Doctors concluded that she would never leave the hospital bed in her lifetime.

At this point, Jiang Xiaodie was filled with regret as well. If she hadn’t spoiled Li Xiangning so much, would things have turned out differently? Could she have remained a noblewoman in high society?

Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.

Li Shuning never married, and Chu Tao, feeling good about himself, once approached Li Shuning, but she sneered at him. Would she want a second-hand man? Who did he think he was? It was absurd.

By now, Li Shuning certainly wouldn’t hold back her temper, leaving Chu Tao feeling humiliated and afraid to ever approach her again.
