249 Severing Ties With the Luo Family
The security guard’s thoughts were simple. Luo Qionglan was the young mistress’ biological mother. If the young mistress invited Luo Qionglan in, He Qiu Shan would definitely not say anything.
Most importantly, it would not be considered a dereliction of duty.
He Yeli was about to sleep. After all, sleeping on a rainy day was the coziest. Therefore, she had no idea about the bloodbath on the internet.
After receiving a call from the security guard, He Yeli was a little annoyed. This was quite troublesome. Now, the security guard even dared to disturb her sleep.
“Miss Xinrui, Madam Luo is at the door now. Master doesn’t want her to come in. This…” The security guard sounded cautious. He knew that He Yeli wasn’t someone to be trifled with. He was afraid that he would be blamed if he said something wrong.
“What? Why did my mom return out of nowhere?” He Yeli suddenly frowned.
“In that case, Miss Xinrui, I’ll turn on the video for you.” The security guard didn’t know how to respond properly.
“Alright,” He Yeli said impatiently.
The security guard pressed the video button, and Luo Qionglan’s embarrassed look was displayed in front of He Yeli.
Luo Qionglan’s wet hair stuck to her scalp. The makeup on her face was ruined, and there were blue and purple strangle marks on her neck. Her eyes were dull, and her lips were dry and cracked. She looked immensely terrible.
“What’s going on?” He Yeli was so scared that she suddenly sat up. She did hate Luo Qionglan, but the latter was still her biological mother.
“Miss Xinrui, Madam Luo was sent back to the Luo family by the driver, but she just returned here without shoes. The soles of her feet were covered in blood. Because of Master Qiu Shan’s order, we didn’t dare to make any decisions on our own. We could only contact you. You see, this…” The security guard thought that if He Yeli didn’t care, then he really had no choice. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only watch.
“I understand. I’ll go down immediately.” He Yeli put on a coat and went downstairs.
No matter what, Luo Qionglan was He Yeli’s mother. If anyone saw Luo Qionglan’s disheveled appearance, it would not only embarrass the He family but also her.
Besides, although He Yeli had quarreled with Luo Qionglan regarding her marriage, their mother-daughter relationship had been quite good at other times.
He Yeli was not utterly devoid of feelings for Luo Qionglan.
However, He Yeli had forgotten that Luo Qionglan had walked back and had already been photographed on the internet. It caused a new round of excitement.
He Yeli wore her shoes and rushed out.
In the living room, the servant was checking the accounts with He Qiu Shan. When he saw He Yeli running out, he quickly said, “Miss Xinrui, where are you going?”
“It’s just started raining outside. It’s getting cold. Where are you going?” He Qiu Shan chimed in.
He Yeli pretended not to hear him and ran to the gate with an umbrella. She asked the security guard to open the door.
The security guard opened the door for Luo Qionglan without saying anything.
“What’s going on? Why did you end up like this?” He Yeli frowned, looked at Luo Qionglan, and gave her a coat. Even though she was drenched, she felt a little warmer.
“Yeli!” Luo Qionglan burst into tears and held He Yeli tightly in her arms, “I only have you now. You can’t leave me alone…”
He Yeli was her last hope. Luo Qionglan bet that He Qiu Shan would not ignore his daughter. As long as it was for He Yeli’s sake, He Qiu Shan wouldn’t be heartless.
“Aiya! You’ve made my clothes wet.” He Yeli wanted to push Luo Qionglan away, but she couldn’t, so she gave up.
“Don’t make a ruckus here. What will it look like if people see you? Let’s go in and talk.”
“Alright, alright, let’s go in and talk.” When Luo Qionglan heard He Yeli asking her to go in, she immediately stopped crying. She held He Yeli’s arm and didn’t let go. She walked in step by step.
Luo Qionglan had to hold onto her daughter—for fear that someone would separate her from He Yeli.
The two of them walked into the hall. Luo Qionglan followed He Yeli obediently and looked at He Qiu Shan with a pitiful look.
“What’s this for?” He Qiu Shan first looked at He Yeli, then at Luo Qionglan who was behind her, “Didn’t I tell you to return to the Luo family? Why did you come back here? You’re really thick-skinned. You can’t be chased away no matter what!”
“Honey, I was wrong. I won’t help the Luo family anymore.” Luo Qionglan cried and knelt on the ground. She crawled over and pulled He Qiu Shan’s leg.
He Qiu Shan took two steps back in fear. “Stay away from me! Don’t come any closer!”
“Honey, I’ll cut off all ties with the Luo family! Don’t be angry. I won’t disobey you again. Honey, I won’t go against your words in the future.” Luo Qionglan was crying.
