Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 180 - 10: The Real and Fake Heiress (10)

Li Niuniu looked at Li Yu with a half-smile: "Aunt Li, if a man matches me well, who do you think I should choose? Besides, it’s my personal matter, which seems to have nothing to do with you."

Li Yu felt uncomfortable, but still forced herself to say: "Miss, I’m only thinking about your well-being. Missing out on such a talented young man would be such a pity, wouldn’t it? I’ve experienced these things, I wouldn’t harm you."

"Enough, Aunt Li. I respect your many years of service to the Li Family, and I don’t want to say more, but you’re overstepping. Besides, what do you mean by your experience? I am not the same as you. You should leave."

Li Yu’s eyes filled with warmth, her daughter’s attitude toward her made her feel quite upset.

The main thing is, why pick and choose among men? Shouldn’t one seize a good opportunity when it presents itself? When youth is gone, what good is regret?

In hindsight, Li Yu’s vision was limited. She didn’t even know that a family like the Zeng Family was not even worth mentioning in front of the Li Family.

Though they seemed well-matched in terms of family background, in reality, the Zeng Family was considerably weaker.

Of course, if she genuinely liked Zeng Bin, he was quite capable and could be considered.

Unfortunately, Li Niuniu had no interest in Zeng Bin, much less could anyone compare to Yun Zimo in her heart.

Li Yu was quite upset, and for once, returned home on time.

Upon arriving home, she immediately saw Li Shuning engrossed in her phone, deeply absorbed in whatever she was looking at. Her expression was quite unusual.

Silently, Li Yu approached and saw a man’s photo on the phone. Even though it was just a side profile, she instantly recognized it as Mr. Zeng.

How did Li Shuning have his photo?

Li Yu suddenly spoke up: "Shuning, what are you looking at?"

Li Qinglan was startled and, seeing it was her mother, sighed in relief: "Nothing much, just a handsome guy who came into the restaurant for a meal. A colleague sent me the photo, and I just took a quick look."

For some reason, Li Qinglan didn’t want to tell Li Yu the truth.

Li Yu, upon hearing this, didn’t think Li Shuning had any intentions toward Mr. Zeng. After all, for families like theirs, Mr. Zeng wouldn’t be interested in Li Shuning, much less because she was of average looks and not particularly clever.

Recalling Mr. Zeng, she couldn’t help but sigh again, as she agreed with Li Shuning’s view that Mr. Zeng was indeed quite good.

Li Qinglan felt a bit strange: "Mom, what’s wrong?"

"This man, he’s the chairman of the Zeng Group. So young, yet has already achieved remarkable success, from a good family too. Today, Mr. Zeng visited the Li Family; rumor has it that the two families are old acquaintances. I noticed Mr. Zeng had quite an interest in the young lady, but unfortunately, such a fine man, and the young lady doesn’t seem to care at all. He invited her, but she declined."

"Shuning, don’t you think it’s a pity to miss out on such a good man?"

Li Qinglan, initially enthusiastic, finally had some information about her idol. She had been trying to find something useful for a long time, and she never expected her mother to have this intel.

But the latter words made her feel a bit sad. Did Mr. Zeng have feelings for the young lady?

Yes, the young lady is so beautiful, with a good family background. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

She has no chance at all, does she?

"Mom, I’m a bit tired. I’m going to bed first; I’ve had a long day."

After speaking, Li Qinglan went straight to her room.

"Sigh, I haven’t finished talking yet..."

Seeing Li Qinglan’s retreating figure, Li Yu was seething; it’s different when they’re not your own, not considerate at all.

The next day, Li Yu tried to get close to Li Niuniu again, but unfortunately, she didn’t get a single opportunity. Li Niuniu went straight to Hai City for a getaway.

Li Yu, helpless, didn’t stay late since Li Niuniu wasn’t home.

That day, she went to the market to buy some vegetables and meat to prepare dinner.

Before she made it home, a man suddenly called out to her: "Yu, is that you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Li Yu froze momentarily, then immediately ran home without daring to look back.

The man, who thought Li Yu looked familiar, suspected it might be the person from back then. When he called out, and she ran, he was 100% sure.

The man hurried after her.

Meanwhile, Li Qinglan was at the restaurant celebrating its anniversary; the boss was treating everyone, and it was lively outside.

Otherwise, Li Yu wouldn’t have thought to make something nice to eat.

Usually, she had dinner at the Li Family before going home.

Today, she hadn’t eaten, and the house only had some simple stuff that Li Shuning bought. Since Li Shuning had a good lifestyle at the Li Family, she naturally didn’t want to eat those things, thus the market trip.

Li Yu opened the door, hurriedly trying to close it, but a hand stopped it.

"Yu, why are you avoiding me? Are you mad that I left back then? But I had no choice at the time. Will you listen to my explanation?"

A man’s strength was considerably greater, and soon, Wang Yuan got into the house.

Li Yu, annoyed, sat on the sofa without saying anything.

Wang Yuan closed the door, then sat beside Li Yu.

He reached out and hugged Li Yu, causing her to tremble slightly.

How long had it been since she was embraced by a man? Strangely, she felt a bit excited.

Wang Yuan, being experienced, could sense her situation from her subtle movements.

He hadn’t expected the young girl from back then to now be like a ripe peach, with a full figure, yet still appearing quite young despite her age.

Given these years at the Li Family, they didn’t treat her poorly. With good conditions, Li Yu naturally didn’t show her age.

Thus, Wang Yuan started getting handsy, and before long, they were entangled together.

Afterwards, Wang Yuan gently explained while hugging Li Yu: "Yu, I didn’t leave you on purpose back then. When you eloped with me, I was thrilled. Knowing you were pregnant, I was even happier. But then my family called urgently, saying there was trouble at home."

"My father suddenly fell down the stairs, losing consciousness. I didn’t have time to tell you before returning home. On the way, my phone and wallet were stolen. I got back and, because my father’s condition was critical, I was busy taking care of him and could never contact you. When I finally did, your number was out of service. More things happened afterwards, and I tried to find you, but never succeeded."

"I’m sorry, Yu. I’ll take good care of you from now on. Please don’t hate me, okay? Can we start over?"

Most of what Wang Yuan said was, of course, a lie, but Li Yu believed him.

Remembering her past hardships, she couldn’t help but cry.

Wang Yuan comforted and coaxed her until a smile appeared on her face.

"Yu, these years must have been tough on you. Have you... have you ever married? Did our child from back then survive?"
