Starting Today, She Was Miss Li
When she heard what Li Yaoyang had to say, Ruan Mengmeng’s heart felt heavy.
She knew that Ruan Zhaotian was a good father, but he was by no means a good husband.
Her mother had really suffered when she lived in a family as tense at that, but Ruan Mengmeng was still surprised to hear her mother had depression.
She could not help but raise her eyes to look at Li Yaoyang, this man who stood at the pinnacle of S Country.
He was the number one tycoon of S Country and the person who controlled the Lisheng Group. Regardless, his gaze upon her mother was full of love and devotion. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
He probably really did love her mother.
Even when her mother was ill, he stayed by her side and took care of her.
Ruan Mengmeng remembered how Cheng Qingzhi had to deal with a husband who never came home and an abusive mother-in-law back in the Ruan Family.
She figured that Li Yaoyang was the kind of man Mom really wanted.
“Mengmeng, your mother has actually been sick for a while now. I should’ve sent her to M Country for surgery a long time ago, but she’s worried that she won’t come out of the operating theatre alive, so she kept refusing to go. I know that she can’t let go of you and your sister… Your sister is overseas, and she can’t come back. That’s why I had Junyu bring you back first.”
When Ruan Mengmeng heard him say ‘Your sister is overseas, and she can’t come back’, she blinked for a bit.
Nevertheless, it was not long before she knew what he meant.
This was Li Yaoyang’s care and kindness. He could not bear to let her mother know that her sister had passed away, because it would surely break her heart.
“Mengmeng, you’ll be staying in the Li Family from now on, so take this place as your home. You don’t have to think of me as your father if you don’t want to, but I’ll definitely love you as my daughter. Don’t worry, no matter what happens, Uncle Li promised your mother to protect you forever.”
“But, I…” She wanted to tell him that she still had a home.
She had her father, her grandfather, and her home.
“Mengmeng, promise me. Please stay,” Chen Qingzhi said weakly, holding her hand and staring at her so intently that she could barely bear to blink.
“Yaoyang told me, that woman’s having a son. I can’t let you go back, I’m too worried about you. Your grandmother and the others definitely won’t be impartial, and your sister’s overseas, so I can’t leave you in that family alone… I’ll be leaving in a bit, and I don’t know if I can make it back, so please… could you stay here, and stay by my side? Please?”
Chen Qingzhi’s tears threatened to spill over again.
All of Ruan Mengmeng’s words of refusal died in her throat.
Ruan Mengmeng could not bear to see her sick mother burst into tears, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.
...
After Chen Qingzhi went to sleep, Li Yaoyang brought Ruan Mengmeng to the hall and officially introduced her to the Li Family’s hundred servants.
“Remember, starting from today, Mengmeng will be our Li Family’s only young mistress. No one is allowed to treat her lightly. You must respect her as you do the other young masters. If I find out that anyone has disrespected her, I’ll definitely punish them accordingly!”
Li Yaoyang did not hold back with his oppressive aura, making all of the servants shudder without even raising his voice.
Once he was done warning everyone, he turned to Ruan Mengmeng with a warm and rather fawning smile.
“Mengmeng, I didn’t scare you, did I? Don’t worry, your uncle is actually a very friendly person. I don’t even have a temper…”
Ruan Mengmeng was sitting on the couch and eating her dessert, but when she heard that, she nearly dropped her bone china plate.
Urk… This good-looking old man sure changed tacks quickly. It was almost too fast for her to process.
The butler standing next to him was sweating buckets at the sight. The Master did not sound so patient even when he spoke to their youngest master.
There was no way he would be anywhere close as sweet to the three older ones.
When he spoke to this Miss Mengmeng, however, he was so warm and loving.
The middle-aged butler made a mental note to himself. After this, he must warn those servants again, ensuring that no one would ever disrespect Miss Mengmeng.
“Mengmeng, I’ll have someone bring you to your room so you can rest for now. Let’s eat together during dinner time. I made sure to tell everyone in the family to come home for dinner tonight, too. I have four sons, and the one you met earlier was the oldest. You’ll meet the second, third, and fourth sons later. I’m sure you young people will have plenty to talk about.”
The second, third, and fourth?
Ruan Mengmeng repeated the handsome uncle’s words in her mind.
Suddenly, she froze.
Wait, the second son?!
That meant she would soon meet the Second Young Master, Li Junting! The man she stole some genes from last night!
