Female lead's Delusion of Starting Over

Chapter 117: Li Zichuan’s Sister, Aunt Su’s Dominance

“Alright, a five-star hotel, the presidential suite for you. I’ll pick you up tomorrow. Let’s… forget it, we won’t go to my place. Let’s have dinner outside. My mom has been talking about you for years!” Li Zichuan had everything arranged perfectly. He initially planned to bring Lu Li to his house, but unfortunately, his annoying father was too much of a strain on their friendship.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow! If there’s something to report, do so; if not, you may leave,” Lu Li declared, sprawling comfortably on the plush sofa and waving his hand dismissively.

“Damn, you’re kicking me out already?” Li Zichuan pointed at Lu Li, annoyed.

“What else? Look at me, then look at my little maid here. Don’t you think your radiance is a bit too strong for this place?” Lu Li pulled You Meng into his embrace, teasingly looking at Li Zichuan.

Li Zichuan was speechless. A mistake in choosing friends!

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Zichuan walked out, lamenting the room he prepared so early in the morning for Lu Li, which now remained empty. Seeing Lu Li emerge from the abyss that was Zhang Ziqin genuinely made him happy.

Li Zichuan had advised Lu Li many times, but for some reason, Lu Li was like a man possessed, fixated on Zhang Ziqin. As a bystander, Li Zichuan repeatedly warned Lu Li that Zhang Ziqin was not a good woman, but merely a green tea. From his perspective, Zhang Ziqin was indeed full of the aroma of green tea, yet Lu Li couldn’t see through her.

Unable to see how disgusting and dark that woman was!

Watching Zhang Ziqin repeatedly betray Lu Li nearly killed him with frustration, yet Lu Li remained stubborn until the bitter end.

Now, finally, Zhang Ziqin had paid the price, spitting out everything she took from Lu Li. The bankruptcy of her company was delightful to think about.

Shrugging, he returned home.

Just as he opened the door, a dignified woman approached him. Time seemed to bypass

this woman, leaving little mark on her, her beautiful face mature in ways a young girl could not fathom.

“Where’s Xiao Li? Why are you alone?” The woman, of course, was Li Zichuan’s mother, Su Linya.

She looked at Li Zichuan with confusion.

“Old Lu didn’t want to come. That old man is too annoying for him to bother seeing!” Li Zichuan waved his hand nonchalantly, explaining, “I arranged a hotel for them. Just got off the plane, let them rest for a day, and you’ll see him tomorrow when we have dinner.”

Su Linya frowned, then sighed in understanding, nodding, “Alright, then we’ll meet tomorrow!”

She didn’t want to see him either.

“Mom, enough with the fussing over Lu Li. I am your son, you know. How about paying some attention to your son’s feelings for a change!” Li Zichuan rolled his eyes, looking sourly at his mother.

“Stop it. Whether others know if you’re my son, don’t you know yourself? Anyway, my son is only Xiao Li!” Su Linya tapped Li Zichuan’s forehead, not amused.

“He has a mom!” Li Zichuan muttered.

“That woman isn’t fit to be a mother, what trash!” Su Linya spoke harshly of Lu Li’s mother, worry written all over her face, “We’ve been in Magic City for years, and the chances to see Xiao Li have diminished. He didn’t even have a peaceful place to stay.” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Although rumors painted Lu Li as a wasteful young master, Su Linya trusted her own eyes. She had spent time with Lu Li and knew what kind of person he was.

Li Zichuan’s expression darkened, “Mom, do you think we made a mistake? Maybe if we hadn’t moved to Magic City…”

Hearing Lu Li’s story, even in a few words, Li Zichuan felt distressed. He really didn’t know how Lu Li had survived these years.

Su Linya’s eyes also showed pain. She had long considered Lu Li her own child, pondering whether their move to Magic City for a sense of vindication, taking Li Zichuan away from Hangzhou, was the right decision.

“Big brother, didn’t you say you were going to pick up a friend? Where’s Lu Li?” At that moment, a youthful and vibrant girl approached, her youthful beauty dressed in a luxurious gown, her hair meticulously styled, representing the best years of youth.

She looked around nervously.

“Lu Li didn’t come!” Su Linya’s eyes flashed with disdain. Li Ruolan wasn’t her child.

In her youth, she was deceived by Li Fu’s sweet words and married him against her family’s wishes. Following the marriage and the birth of their child, which nearly severed ties with her family, Li Fu grew distant. Falling into a trap of love, the naive girl was cheated by an ambitious scoundrel.

Cliché, yet realistic.

If that was all, Su Linya could have accepted her fate, determined to walk her path despite the tears. But Li Fu was a complete scoundrel, engaging with another wealthy girl while Su Linya was pregnant. Fleeing to Hangzhou with her pregnancy, she endured the hardships without ever bowing to Li Fu.

Only when Li Fu’s new wife gave birth to a girl and suffered multiple miscarriages, leaving her unable to bear children, did that damned man remember he had a child, wanting to bring Li Zichuan back to maintain the family line.

Initially, Su Linya refused, filled with hatred for Li Fu. However, after some consideration, she agreed, bringing Li Zichuan back to Magic City.

Not wanting to deprive Li Zichuan of his future out of spite, she couldn’t bear to separate him from his son’s future.

Li Ruolan, Li Fu’s daughter with his previous wife, wasn’t targeted by Su Linya, but she certainly wouldn’t receive any warmth.

“Ah! He hasn’t arrived yet? I’ll go touch up my makeup!” Li Ruolan’s eyes sparkled with excitement, misinterpreting Su Linya’s words and bouncing back to her room.

As for her nominal mother’s cold attitude, she didn’t care, believing her ‘mom’ to be tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

“Hmph, truly birds of a feather, the daughter is just like her father!” Su Linya’s eyes flashed with scorn, suspecting Li Ruolan was only dressing up because of Lu Li’s achievements.

“Mom, what are you saying!!” Li Zichuan frowned, irritated by the broad accusation.

“Didn’t say it was you, why the rush!” Su Linya retorted.

“Tell me, has Xiao Li lost weight?”

“Pfft, he’s living the life now, even brought his personal maid with him.” Li Zichuan grimaced, “Now he’s turned into a philanderer, switching girls in just a few days.”

Su Linya glared at Li Zichuan, “Don’t talk nonsense. Xiao Li is so outstanding; it’s normal for more girls to like him. Of course, he needs to choose carefully.”

“…” That’s not the attitude you had towards my dad!

Treating Lu Li like her own son, so indulgently…

“What are you staring at? Go change your clothes,” patting You Meng’s bottom, Lu Li found the maid outfit too irresistible. He was especially fond of it.

“Big Brother, I’ve prepared something else today…” Blushing, You Meng whispered into Lu Li’s ear.

Lu Li’s eyes gradually brightened.

Yes, Devil is me; I am Devil..
