Chapter 312: For Self-Preservation
What!?
How can it be?
Chen Xi was taken aback when he heard Zhao Lili's words, looked at her in disbelief, and blurted out a question, "Why did he do this?" ”
She didn't know the relationship between Zhao Lili and Yecheng before, she only thought that they were ordinary interests and cooperative relations, or Yecheng was just a force that Zhao Lili bought with money.
It wasn't until she came here and stayed for a while that she accidentally knew that the two of them were mother and son!
Although I don't know how Zhao Lili hid the Luo family's investigation of her, and there is such a big illegitimate child, but based on her observations in the past few days, there should be no fake.
It stands to reason that if she had had a child with someone else, Luo Yihai would not have let her marry into the Luo family in the first place. I haven't heard anyone mention it for so many years, and Yecheng's identity and actions are so secretive, presumably Zhao Lili used some method to hide this history from the past.
When she first learned the news, she was also curious about who Yecheng's biological father would be?
But it was only for a moment, and it had nothing to do with her, and she didn't have the energy to meddle in things.
It's just that what Zhao Lili is saying now doesn't sound like it's true. Since they are mother and son, why did Yecheng do this.
Let's not talk about whether Zhao Lili harmed Cheng Ning or not, even if it was really her, Ye Cheng didn't have any reason to tell Luo Jichen about this matter and harm his biological mother.
"You should know what my relationship with Yecheng is." Zhao Lili's eyes turned out with a faint sadness, at this moment she was like a wounded old woman, without a trace of the arrogance of the past.
"I married into the Luo family, and I was afraid that Luo Yihai would harm him if he knew about his existence, so I kept him in a very remote and small place, and I didn't dare to visit. But as a mother, how can you not want your child to be successful? So I hired someone and taught him to grow up strictly. Maybe I was too strict with him and didn't give him enough love, and he always had a grudge against me in his heart. ”
Chen Xi looked at Zhao Lili's expression and eyes carefully, trying to tell how true what she said.
Zhao Lili didn't seem to care about her suspicious gaze at all, and seemed to be immersed in her own sadness, covering her face with her hands and sobbing, while continuing intermittently: "I already knew that he complained about me. I originally wanted to wait until the Luo family let him enjoy the glory and wealth in the future, and I also stayed by his side well and did my duty as a mother, but ......"
Speaking of the back, she was already choked up and speechless.
Chen Xi frowned, thinking quickly in his mind.
In her experience, Zhao Lili's expression didn't look like she was lying, and what she said was reasonable, and she couldn't find any logical flaws. But her attitude has suddenly changed so much, and it will not be good to talk to herself about these things.
She didn't make a sound, nor did she kindly comfort Zhao Lili, just waiting for her to say her ultimate purpose.
Sure enough, Zhao Lili cried for a while, and when she saw that she didn't talk, she slowly stopped crying, wiped away her non-existent tears, and said earnestly: "I don't know when Yecheng said this to Luo Jichen, but it is very likely that they have already ventilated." If Luo Jichen knew about this place and our plan, I didn't care, there was still a way out, what should you do? ”
When she said this, she reminded Chen Xi.
If what Zhao Lili said was true, if Luo Jichen knew that she was here, wouldn't someone arrest her back at any time.
No, she can't be caught!
Now only Zhao Lili can help her!
She looked at Zhao Lili, her original look of vigilance and suspicion disappeared, and her attitude immediately softened, with a pleading tone: "Aunt Zhao, I know that you have great powers, and there must be a way." I can't be caught, or this life will be over. You must save me, I can help you get what you want! ”
Chen Xi knew that no matter how much she prayed or talked to her about friendship, it was useless, Zhao Lili was the same person as her, and she only had interests in her eyes.
Whether she is willing to help herself or not depends on whether she is useful to her. So she grasped this very smartly, so that Zhao Lili could be persuaded by her and spend manpower and energy to keep herself.
"This ......" Zhao Lili was a little embarrassed, "I came here to remind you of my relationship with your mother, so that you don't know what to do here." If you want me to help you, I can't help it, let alone you, now even I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and I can't protect myself. ”
Chen Xi was a little desperate, let go of the hand that was holding Zhao Lili's arm, and froze in place.
Now it's dangerous for her to stay here, and it's the same to go out, is there really no other way?
Zhao Lili saw her expression and knew that the play was almost over, and the time had come, so she hesitated and said, "Actually, it's not completely impossible, but ...... Forget it. ”
"Aunt Zhao, if you have any way, just say it, even if it's difficult, I can do it." When Chen Xi heard her say this, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope again.
"Now Luo Jichen hasn't sent someone over, which means that Yecheng also has reservations about him, and he hasn't told him about this place yet." Zhao Lili took her hand, patted her gently, and comforted: "At present, we are still safe, but I don't know how long this safety will last." ”
"It's just a pity that for the sake of convenience, I handed over all the forces that I could control to Yecheng. Otherwise, you can still compete with him now, keep an eye on him, and don't let him send any more news to Luo Jichen. If you want to protect yourself, you can help me get rid of him and snatch the power back. ”
After speaking, Zhao Lili looked at Chen Xi tentatively, and then shook her head in annoyance, denying what she had just said.
"No, forget it, he is my biological son after all, how can I bear to treat him like this, you still haven't said anything to me, and I haven't been here today."
With that, she got up and was about to leave.
Chen Xi, who was originally a little skeptical because of what she said just now, saw her say this, and the last doubt in her heart was dispelled.
In fact, she still didn't fully believe in Zhao Lili, but this was the only way to protect herself, even if she lied to her, she had to follow Zhao Lili's wishes.
Because she can't afford to lose, can't afford to gamble, and doesn't dare to gamble.
"Wait, Aunt Zhao, don't go yet." She stopped Zhao Lili, "Just because Yecheng is your biological son, you have to stop him from making mistakes again and again!" ”
