Chapter 597 507, time cannot flow backward, regrets are useless (subscribe please)
Everyone exchanged words.
All expressed support for Hui Zhi’s decision.
Yang Hao couldn’t help but reflect silently in his heart, “Indeed, money does speak for me!”
If today he weren’t a billionaire tycoon, but rather that down-and-out uncle still delivering food, he guessed everyone would have treated him quite differently.
At this moment, the most distressed person was undoubtedly Li Manshu, as her last hope had utterly shattered.
She sank dejectedly into a corner of the sofa, her gaze unintentionally drifting toward Xixi, who was sound asleep on the couch.
The little girl had always had good sleeping habits. Despite the noise in the living room, she was sleeping sweetly, even drooling slightly at the corner of her mouth.
Li Manshu reached for a tissue, gently wiping the drool from Xixi’s mouth.
In that instant, her consciousness seemed to blur, as if she had returned to three years ago.
Back then, Yang Hao’s hotpot restaurant hadn’t yet closed. Xixi was only two years old, often calling out “Mom”…
After returning from the hotpot restaurant, Yang Hao always lifted Xixi over his head, provoking the little girl into peals of laughter.
Reflecting now, Li Manshu suddenly realized she had indeed experienced a happy life, only she hadn’t cherished it.
Time couldn’t be reversed.
There was no way to redo life.
No matter how much Li Manshu regretted, there was nowhere in this world that sold a cure for regret.
She looked up at Yang Hao, who was surrounded by people.
This was the man she had personally abandoned!
Now, he was someone she couldn’t even hope to reach.
How ironic it seemed!
“Sister, I hope you can understand,”
Suddenly, a hand took hold of Li Manshu’s. She turned her head to see it was her younger sister, Li Manni. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
“Yes, I understand,”
“Of course, I understand,”
“I’ve only got myself to blame for ending up at this point.”
Li Manshu spoke very earnestly. Then, with a forced smile on her face, she held her sister’s hand and said, “Right after the divorce, I even laughed at you, calling you foolish!”
“There’s no need to waste so much time on him, yet I was the one who was short-sighted.”
“Manni, no matter what, you are Xixi’s aunt, so I am still reassured. At least Xixi will not be mistreated in the future.”
Li Manshu’s face was always marked with a bitter smile; her emotions were incredibly mixed at this moment.
Regarding her sister Li Manni, she certainly couldn’t hate her, yet she couldn’t help feeling envious.
Yang Hao was after all her ex-husband, the man who once revolved around her.
Now, he belonged to her sister Li Manni. It wouldn’t matter if he was just a worthless old man.
But Yang Hao was, notably, very successful, having become a billionaire by now.
Following this script, it wouldn’t be long before Yang Hao became a nationally known tycoon.
She dared not imagine the luxurious life her sister Li Manni would lead in the future.
Yet, all this could have been hers!
To put it mildly, she just wasn’t destined for it!
“Let’s not talk at home; the restaurant has been booked already.”
“Yang, let’s go to the restaurant, we can talk over the meal.”
At this moment, Kang Zhichao took the initiative to speak.
With the elder brother Kang Zhifei absent, Kang Zhichao, the youngest son, naturally took on the task of making arrangements.
“Yes, let’s talk at the restaurant.”
“I’ve been hungry for a while now.”
Kang Huimin and Kang Huifen both expressed approval.
“Yang, if you have any favorites, let me add them to the order right away,”
Kang Zhichao approached Yang Hao, smiling as he spoke.
“No need to trouble yourself,” said Yang Hao.
“I’ll just have whatever everyone else is having, I’m not picky about food.”
Yang Hao waved his hand, smiling. He did not want to be treated specially, especially since he was never particular about food; he just ate whatever he wanted, never letting such things cause internal conflict.
“Xixi is still not awake,”
“I won’t go then. I’ll just stay home with Xixi!”
Just as everyone was getting up, ready to head to the restaurant, Li Manshu suddenly spoke out.
The crowd, which had been ignoring her, once again turned their attention toward her.
When Kang Huimin and Kang Huifen looked at Li Manshu, their gazes were somewhat evasive; after all, both had initially cozied up to Li Manshu in hopes of securing a solid backer, only to switch their attention to Li Manni upon realizing their mistake. The ugly side of human nature was fully displayed by the two of them.
“That’s probably for the best,”
Kang Huizhi nodded lightly, aligning herself with her younger daughter Li Manni.
However, Li Manshu was also her daughter, and in the current situation, following them would probably just cause her more distress. It was better to stay home with Xixi.
“Manshu, once we’re at the restaurant, I’ll have the waiter send over some food, as you’ll need to eat when Xixi wakes up,”
smiled Kang Huimin, playing the nice guy.
“Mmm, sounds good.”
“Then thank you, Auntie,”
Li Manshu responded very politely, her overt politeness coming off as somewhat sarcastic.
Because Kang Huimin had previously treated her even more politely, it was almost sycophantic.
“It’s nothing to be polite about,”
Kang Huimin said awkwardly smiling, then chose not to engage further.
The group headed downstairs.
Then, Kang Huimin and Kang Huifen naturally gravitated toward Yang Hao’s Rolls-Royce.
“This car looks so luxurious,”
“I’ve only seen them on the road; I’ve never been inside one before.”
Kang Huimin rested one hand on the hood, her implication clear.
“I haven’t either,”
“Yang, is this car expensive?”
First clarifying that she had never been inside, Kang Huifen then turned to Yang Hao.
Thinking to herself, having posed the question like that, he’s likely to invite her to join him.
However, Yang Hao simply replied, “It seems pretty expensive.”
Then he helped Kang Jingchun and his wife into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.
Yang Hao himself took the driver’s seat, while Li Manni naturally took the passenger’s seat.
Thus, the car was full, and Kang Huimin and Kang Huifen found themselves unable to comment on the seating arrangement.
The sisters, left with no other option, quickly moved toward Li Baojun’s Wenjie M9 and managed to get seats.
“Baojun, you’re really living it up this time, getting to drive such a nice car!”
After settling in the back seat, Kang Huimin expressed her amazement.
Li Baojun didn’t have a good opinion of his profit-driven aunt, who had mockingly criticized his family when times had been tough.
So, twisting his lips slightly, he replied, “It’s all thanks to Manni’s good fortune.”
“Auntie, Yanyan isn’t getting any younger either, you’ll definitely find her a good son-in-law in the future!”
