Chapter 203: Chapter 9: The Wife Who Shared My Hardships (Part 9)

Her beautiful dream had just begun, and the next day, she found she couldn’t contact the man.

Most of the money she had on hand was given to the man, leaving only tens of thousands of spare cash.

It was only then that she realized she’d been deceived, over two million was gone, Xi Lin was heartbroken and couldn’t sleep well.

After reporting to the police, they couldn’t find the man at all.

Instead, because Lin Hua had reported to the police before, Xi Lin’s information was passed on to Lin Hua.

After going around in circles, Xi Lin returned to Lin Hua’s side. After all, Xi Lin had no money on her, the police considered the fact there was a child, so they sent Xi Lin back. Only now, Lin Hua was no longer the original Lin Hua.

Although he wanted to divorce Xi Lin, now many people knew about his situation, and if he divorced, he might not be able to find a wife in the future.

So he decided to continue living together, but it was absolutely impossible for Xi Lin to touch money again. As long as he controlled strictly, would he be afraid that Xi Lin would turn the world upside down?

Short-tempered, Xi Lin had to take care of the child every day, do farm work, and when Lin Hua was irritable, he would vent on her.

But Xi Lin dared not run away, where could she go now, no money, no good looks, having gained weight since having a child. Could she go back to her hometown? She’d rather stay here. Or go out to find work? With no education, what job could she find? Alone, what if she got deceived again.

Besides, at this point, she couldn’t leave; Lin Hua took her ID card, she didn’t have a dime on her, making it hard to move.

That man was found by Li Shuning, and after settling accounts, Li Shuning donated the over two million.

As for Xi Lin and Lin Hua, she no longer cared.

Li Shuning was prepared to return to Binhai City, having been away from her parents for over ten years. During this time, she also tried to contact them, only to find the numbers couldn’t be reached, making her feel her parents didn’t want to see her anymore.

Now, Li Shuning was prepared to visit on behalf of the original self.

Her parents were there, and staying far away was a mistake the original Li Shuning made.

If she truly loved the man, that wasn’t the only path; moreover, it was the home that raised and cherished her, how could she so easily say she abandoned it?

Love is a matter for two people, why did she sacrifice everything for the man? Since then, Li Shuning had already fallen behind.

Li Shuning returned to Binhai, found the original home, only to discover it had turned into commercial buildings.

Li Shuning felt melancholic, should she continue searching?

Turning away, preparing to find a place to stay, she looked back to see a man fixedly staring at her.

In ten years, Canghai Sangtian, yet the bond of blood among family members could never be severed.

Li Shuning recognized him at a glance, the man watching her should be her second brother.

Li Shuning opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

Li Shuping rushed forward and hugged Li Shuning: “Sister, you’re back, that’s great.”

“Second brother, why are you here?”

Li Shuping looked at Li Shuning with a touch of pity: “When you left home, this area was turned into a commercial district, naturally our family relocated, and at that time father was still angry. After cooling down, he wanted to find you, but you hadn’t taken your phone, and we couldn’t contact you at all.”

“Later, father went to your school, found Lin Hua’s family’s contact number, called wanting to find you, but Lin Hua answered. He said you were married to him and told us not to worry, saying he’d take good care of you. Then he hung up, and father still thought you were angry, believing one day you’d call home, but unexpectedly the number was canceled afterward.”

Li Shuning was astonished; she had no idea about this situation. Could it be the original self was also kept in the dark?

Lin Hua, truly . . . Originally thought Lin Hua’s outcome was already tragic, even involving an innocent child, but knowing this, she’d definitely make Lin Hua’s situation worse.

Lin Hua’s actions were indeed disgusting. Yes, back then in front of the proud Li Shuning, Lin Hua always seemed somewhat inferior, especially when Li Shuning brought him home, Lin Hua’s inherent cowardice showed up.

And following Lin Hua, based on the time mentioned by her second brother, should be when Lin Hua couldn’t find a job, relied on Li Shuning to support him at home, while dropping calls and hiding things from Li Shuning, and even changing the phone number. This indicated what, Li Shuning coldly laughed in her heart. Such a man, and the original self considered him a treasure; truly blinded.

“At that time father wanted to find you, to ask you personally if you really didn’t want your parents anymore. Through the phone number, we found Lin Hua’s home address, but father suddenly fell ill, delaying things.”

“Sister, after our family relocated, father worried you might come back, always told me and elder brother to occasionally return to check, in case you couldn’t find the home. After father fell ill, he calmed down, since you were already married, living small days. If you truly missed home, then come back and visit, so elder brother and I would periodically come around here.”

“Second brother, I had no idea you called Lin Hua. I once called home, but couldn’t reach anyone. I thought the family had been disappointed in me, no longer wanting to see me.”

Li Shuping looked at Li Shuning’s eyes with a hint of tears; the post on the Lezhou forum was later reposted on the neighboring forum, which people all over the world were watching.

Naturally, the Li Family had learned of Li Shuning’s situation recently.

Originally, they were preparing to start looking for sister, after all, how could the Li Family’s daughter allow Lin Hua to treat her so terribly? He was just passing by, and due to the habit of stopping, he checked, never expecting to encounter sister, otherwise, they would have missed again.

Li Shuping took Li Shuning to the Li Family’s place, a single villa in a high-end community, evidently the Li Family was developing better and better.

Li Shuning sighed slightly, following Li Shuping inside.

Li Hongtao was facing away from the door, tidying up things. Hearing the door open, he spoke without turning his head: “Is Shuping back? Hurry and help dad tidy up; tomorrow we’re setting off to find Xiao Ning. I’m afraid I haven’t packed everything; Xiao Ning’s things all need to be brought. Your mom is already making Xiao Ning’s favorite spicy chicken feet, come and help.”

Li Shuning’s tears fell inexplicably. This was indeed the original self’s family; though the original self irresponsibly committed suicide, did they ever consider their family?

Encountering the wrong person was not an excuse.

Li Shuning’s return had a huge impact on the Li Family.

After both parties communicated, they all shed tears, and Li Shuning sincerely apologized to her parents.

Her father and mother had both retired, her elder brother, though young, already had his own company, and her second brother taught at a university. Neither had married, largely due to Li Shuning.
