Chapter 803: with translation of chapter title

Te Qu.

After sending Gu Ning away, Yu Li's mood remained not very high.

Seeing others all enjoying family happiness, while she herself was alone and destitute.

She had children, but the two adopted ones had almost cut off contact.

The later-born one also established a family and career.

She had no interest in interfering in the couple's life.

But she herself felt increasingly lonely.

Yu Qing knew his mother had been feeling low lately, so he came over more diligently.

Opening the door and entering, he saw his mother sitting on the balcony in a daze, and he couldn't bear it.

「Mom! 」

Yu Li saw her son coming over and forced a smile.

「Qing has come. 」

「Didn't I tell you not to keep coming here, otherwise your wife will complain again. 」

Yu Qing scolded.

「Mom, what are you saying? 」

Saying this, he put the things he brought on the table and began to sort them.

「You're my mother; if I don't come see you, who will? 」

「Otherwise, have pity on me and move over to live with us. 」

Yu Li refused without even thinking.

In her era, a daughter-in-law had to watch her mother-in-law's face when marrying in.

Now it's different; now the mother-in-law has to watch the daughter-in-law's face.

The times changed, and she ended up poorly.

At any time, she felt superfluous.

The happiest thing in her life might have been those years she raised Yu Qing alone.

Of course, there was also something she could never forget in her life.

It was that night, when she bravely took a step.

She often dreamed of that night, wondering if she had been a bit more proactive, would she have gotten what she wanted.

Thinking of this, she also thought of the time she went to care for Gu Ning.

She asked Gu Ning.

「What is the thing you regret most in your life? 」

Gu Ning lay on the hospital bed, smiling shyly.

「In this life, perhaps the biggest regret is not having forced Yang Qing. 」

「This might not be my regret; it could be many people's regret. 」

「Lou Xiao'e also can't forget this. 」

「Qin Huairu got the advantage, you know? Qin Huairu forcibly took Yang Qing that year of heavy rain. 」

「I originally thought she had arrived in Gangdao, but I didn't expect it to be so early. 」

「Do you know? Qin Huairu told me, the most exciting thing for them was Yang Qing driving a tractor…」

Yu Li hearing this felt her worldview shattered; she felt she had already been outrageous, but didn't expect Qin Huairu to be even more awesome, playing even more flamboyantly.

If she had known Yang Qing was like that, she would have gone for him long ago.

Gu Ning's words continued.

「If there is a next life, I will be braver than Qin Huairu. 」

「Even if only once, I wouldn't regret it to this day. 」

「Yu Li, what about you? Yu Qing, why are you called Qing? Did you succeed? 」

She was full of envy.

The atmosphere having reached this point, Yu Li also spoke of her own matter.

Gu Ning seemed to empathize.

「What a pity, why aren't you a bit braver? 」

「You could have succeeded originally. 」

Yu Li gave her a white-eye look.

「It's not that easy; later, I hardly saw him at all, basically no chance. 」

「Yang Qing isn't a flirt. 」

「And he also has to consider Chen Hong's feelings. 」

Speaking of Chen Hong, both fell silent.

Put yourself in his shoes; if her man were stared at by so many women, she wouldn't feel good either.

This remark left both of them silent.

Thinking back on past conversations, thinking of the person who left.

Yu Li's emotions surged up again.

What kind of life has she lived in this lifetime?

Why does Qin Huairu live so well?

She is a widow with three children, plus an unreasonable mother-in-law, and moreover a white-eyed wolf son; how does she live so well.

She had thought her whole life that it was all a matter of choice; if back then she had bravely thrown herself forward, would her life also have become that good?

Life plays tricks; if I could live it again, I would surely bravely throw myself forward.

It doesn't matter whether you're a married woman or a married man.

Yu Yuanqing interrupted her reminiscence.

"Mom, come back with me."

He was already pleading a little.

Yu Li shook her head stubbornly.

"I won't go; I'm fine on my own—living alone is more carefree. I don't want to go looking for trouble for myself."

"I just want to be a bit more tranquil."

Yu Yuanqing knew that saying more today would be useless; he could only think of other ways.

He tidied up the things he brought, then started cooking.

Having a meal with Yu Li might be one of the few things this son can do.

He is different from others; he's just an ordinary person, and his workplace is still Xu Huizhen's company.

He has some ability, but not strong; he just lives a moderately comfortable life, with a car, a house, and savings.

His wife isn't a bad woman; she just has her own ideas.

She likes to hold all the household power.

His mother is also strong-willed; the two of them don't have major issues, but they are prone to arguing.

Yu Yuanqing also had a headache.

One is his mother, the other is his wife.

It's hard for anyone to back down.

Yu Li also couldn't live under someone else's roof, so after staying with them for a while, she moved out.

Thus, everyone's relations became harmonious.

But as Mother grew older, letting her live alone was no longer suitable.

He persuaded for a long time, but it remained the same.

His wife also came over several times, but Mother was determined to live alone.

His wife came over with good intentions to show filial piety, but was repeatedly refused; her temper flared, and she said, "If you won't go, I won't persuade you anymore."

So now only Yu Yuanqing often comes over to attend to his mother.

Running back and forth, Yu Yuanqing is also quite tired.

"Mom, what do you want to do? Tell me, as long as you agree to come back with me."

Yu Li didn't speak.

That's just letting you guess on your own.

Yu Yuanqing once came over and saw his mother watching Yang Qing's livestream.

She watched with rapt attention, and even showed a faint smile, as gentle as thawing the winter wind.

He asked Yu Li.

"Mom, isn't this the Family Patriarch?"

Yu Li panicked and closed the video.

"Hmm, just randomly clicked, clicked on it."

Yu Yuanqing felt he had discovered a spark.

After being refused again, he had no choice but to think it over.

After having a meal with Yu Li, he got in touch with Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen has relied on Pizza Hut over the years to expand many businesses.

Now they are all managed by her children and grandchildren.

Because of Yu Li, she and Yu Yuanqing also know each other.

But they don't keep in touch much anymore.

Upon receiving his call, she still had some doubts.

However, regarding his request to meet, she agreed without even thinking.

Speaking of which, now that she's older, she and Cai Quanwu are actually quite bored as well.

Chen Xueru often video chats with her, showing off her own life.

Moreover, she has repeatedly asked her to come over together.

She wants it to be livelier with more people.

But she has a big family, and it's not like there's no one to support them; originally she didn't want to take advantage of them.

But after being shown off so much, she now also feels a bit envious and tempted.
