1645: Epilogue (18)

Epilogue (18)

Li Shu was here?1

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Following this, Si Jingyu stood up hurriedly and said, "Hurry up and invite her into the house!"

The butler nodded and went to invite Li Shu in.

It pained everyone to see how lonely and desolate she looked when she walked in. Her eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing her this way and recalling Li Shu's more glorious days made Si Jingyu sigh suddenly.

Li Shu had been such an ambitious woman, and so obstinate. But now, she had become quite another person because of Mo Hai. It was unexpected.

She rushed to Li Shu, took her hands and said, "Li Shu, you have to take it easy. Mo Hai is gone. Surely, he wouldn't wish to see you like this."

Li Shu sighed as her eyes reddened. Unlike the strong person she usually was, she was now sentimental and emotional. She said, "Jingyu, lately, I keep having this thought."

"What thought?" Si Jingyu held the woman's hand as she led her to take a seat on the sofa.

Li Shu continued, "Wouldn't it have been better if I had never married Mo Hai? At the time, I already knew that he wasn't someone who could bear loneliness. I already knew back then that I wouldn't be able to handle betrayal even once. So why did I even say yes to him?"

Si Jingyu immediately sighed and said, "Enough already. Don't think about it anymore."

Li Shu nodded, but continued feeling depressed. She said, "I don't know what's wrong with myself. I feel lonely when I'm home alone. I have never felt this way, even though I lived away from Mo Hai before, because I knew he was there next to me, no matter how far I went. I could go home whenever I was tired, and I'd see him around. After so many years, I realize I'm emotionally dependent on him."

Si Jingyu understood that feeling.

If Shi Jinyan were to leave her all of a sudden, she would be devastated too. Perhaps, it would be impossible to go on even.

At this thought, Si Jingyu couldn't help tearing up. She held Li Shu's hands tightly and said, "Say no more. From now on Mo Xicheng will be your pillar! You're not alone, you have Mo Xicheng!"

Li Shu continued to shake her head as she said, "But he has to work. And the child is young still. How can I hold him back from his career? He has to film too, on top of going to work. He's been losing weight these days."

Hearing this gave Shi Nianyao a heartache. "We have to remind him to take care of his health!"

Li Shu nodded and said, "You're a good kid."

She extended her hand towards Shi Nianyao.

Shi Nianyao walked over to her, sat down and said, "Auntie, you have to take care of your own health. Doing that will also relieve the pressure on Mo Xicheng."

Li Shu continued nodding with red eyes. She looked at Si Jingyu with envy and remarked, "Jingyu, I really do envy you. You have your children around you watching over you. Although the beginning was tough for you, now… and it's just the opposite for me. How fortunate was I those years that Mo Hai pursued me? And how proud did I feel? But now, for the next part of my life…"

Si Jingyu quickly patted Li Shu gently on her shoulder.

Li Shu immediately said, "I'll say no more, I'll say no more."
