If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 834: Chapter 834: His Life Has Been Ruined by You

Yu Weiwei knew that this was almost like cutting off connections in disguise. She would sometimes feel quite guilty; after all, it was because of her.

But Li Beiting had no regrets. On the contrary, he said he felt much better now.

The Mi Family had not troubled Li Beiting any further. Li Beiting said Uncle Mi was very dissatisfied with him but because the Shen Group had initiated a merger and acquisition case against the Mi Family company, Uncle Mi was too busy to deal with his matters.

As for Mi Fei, she reportedly went abroad to travel and unwind after the wedding.

Now Li Beiting was penniless, but with the help of Shen Chi and a few brothers, he was living quite comfortably.

After the wedding, he declined all interviews and was contently helping out at Yu Weiwei’s research institute, managing it for her.

Within a month, he had turned the research institute from loss to profit, and he estimated that it wouldn’t be long before Yu Weiwei could pay off all her bank loans.

Yu Weiwei was walking on the small path of the splendid world, actually, as long as Li Beiting felt happy, that was enough for her; otherwise, her guilt would deepen.

However, she didn’t expect to run into the Li Family despite trying to avoid them, as if by fate.

When she was almost at the Shen family villa, she suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away.

It had been several years since she had seen Li Beiting’s mother, but she still recognized her.

Li Beiting’s mother recognized her as well, and in an instant, she was very excited.

She stepped forward and walked towards Yu Weiwei before Yu Weiwei even had the chance to avoid her.

Li’s mother did not say a word, raised her hand, and slapped her across the face.

Although Yu Weiwei was on guard, she didn’t manage to evade the slap!

With a “slap,” her cheek immediately swelled up, the swelling quite pronounced.

A bright red handprint was on her left cheek, bright and red, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

“Auntie,” Yu Weiwei clenched her teeth but still called out to her.

Li’s mother said coldly, “Don’t call me auntie, do you still have the nerve to come to the splendid world? After so many years, you’re still clinging to Li Beiting, what are you after? I warned you three years ago to stay away from Beiting, but I didn’t expect you to be so scheming.”

Li’s mother’s words were like a hammer, continuously pounding Yu Weiwei’s heart. Yu Weiwei’s heart was beating violently.

“I didn’t seduce Beiting. Beiting and I are in love. He loves me and is willing to give up everything he has, and likewise, I love him, and I can give up everything I have. Before, you said I was after Beiting’s wealth and glory, but now, Beiting has abandoned all that, and I still love him. Do you still think I am after his money and power?” Yu Weiwei said coldly.

“Don’t you know that you have ruined him! You’ve destroyed his future! His life is ruined in your hands!” Li’s mother said with pain, “The position of president, do you think one can achieve that by just working hard? How many years would that take! But now, Beiting is ruined because of you, he has to start all over!”

“But at least, he is happy now.”

“Happy? How much is that worth? I’m telling you, he might feel happy now, but it won’t be long before he regrets it. He fell from the upper class to the lower class; do you think he can get used to this kind of life?”

“Auntie, I will work hard with him,” Yu Weiwei said lightly.

There was no expression on her face; she just looked calmly at Li’s mother.

Although they had nothing now, everything would be fine in the future, wouldn’t it?

At least, they now had a child, a shared hope.

“Work hard? You could work hard for fifty years and still not reach the Li Family’s level!” Li’s mother mocked without mercy.

“Auntie, I came here today to find Chaomu, not to argue with you. I’m sorry, but I don’t have the time or the energy,” Yu Weiwei said.

Yu Weiwei’s attitude wasn’t bad; she just didn’t want to argue with Li’s mother, who was, after all, Li Beiting’s biological mother.

“Is Beiting at your place right now?” Li’s mother asked.

“Yes.”

“Everything at the wedding was incited by you, wasn’t it? Otherwise, Beiting wouldn’t have the courage to confront his father,” Li’s mother said.

“That can only mean you don’t understand him,” Yu Weiwei said indifferently.

“Are you not planning to let him return to the Li Family? You should know that this will ruin him,” Li’s mother said forcefully.

“Beiting is not a child; he has his own decisions, and no one can influence him. If one day he wants to return, no one can stop him.”

Yu Weiwei didn’t continue, but Li’s mother should understand her meaning—it was Beiting himself who didn’t want to return to the Li Family.

The Li Family was an invisible shackle to Li Beiting.

“By the way, if you want to communicate with Beiting, you can call him. His mobile number hasn’t changed,” Yu Weiwei said lightly.

But she knew that neither Li’s mother nor Li’s father would take the initiative to contact Li Beiting.

Sure enough, Li’s mother didn’t speak.

Just then, Xu Chaomu, who was taking a walk at the Shen Family’s, saw Yu Weiwei and quickly came out!

“Weiwei,” she called out.

She saw that Yu Weiwei was talking to Li Beiting’s mother, and there was a handprint on Yu Weiwei’s face!

She didn’t need to guess to know what had happened—Li Beiting’s mother had hit Yu Weiwei.

When Yu Weiwei saw Xu Chaomu, she said indifferently to Li’s mother, “Please go back, aunt. I know you don’t like me, so there’s no need to waste your time talking to me.”

“You sure are carefree,” Li’s mother said. “You can act as if nothing has happened, like an innocent person. But do you know what the Li Family and Beiting have endured? You’ve never considered him; your love is selfish.”

Yu Weiwei looked toward Li’s mother, but before she could speak, Xu Chaomu interjected.

“Aunt, isn’t your love selfish, too, forcing Beiting to marry someone he doesn’t like?” Xu Chaomu said.

“He will understand our good intentions in the future,” Li’s mother said.

“No, he doesn’t need to understand; selfish people will always find all sorts of excuses for themselves. What you need to understand is that only what you truly feel good about is genuinely justifiable,” Xu Chaomu said.

“You two…” Li’s mother suddenly found herself at a loss for words, “that’s simply sophistry.”

“Weiwei, let’s go,” Xu Chaomu said as she took Yu Weiwei’s hand and led her into the Shen Family.

Li’s mother was left standing outside, at a loss.

After Xu Chaomu brought Yu Weiwei inside, she took her to the living room, and looking at the handprint on her face, she said sympathetically, “Weiwei, does it hurt?”

“Just like you,” Yu Weiwei smiled.

Xu Chaomu knew what she was referring to; last time, she had been hit by Zhou Ran.

Of course, the answer was—it hurt quite a bit.

Xu Chaomu asked the butler to bring a first-aid kit and she treated Yu Weiwei’s wound for her.
