Chapter 1156: Chapter 1170: Why Torture Me Like This?
"Sister-in-law Qu, what are you saying? I’m just asking Taotao about what happened. What else could I do? Are you feeling guilty, Sister-in-law Qu?" After speaking, Sun Lifang began to cry, patting her chest, "They’re all children from the compound, playing together day and night. Your Taotao can sit here unharmed, but my Lele will never come back. My poor Lele, now he’s gone, and as his mother, I don’t even know how he ended up like this. I’m not fit to be a mother..."
Mu Xingfeng frowned as he listened to Sun Lifang’s noisy outcry. An Ran still needed rest. If he’d known she was here to cause a scene, he never would have brought her along.
At this moment, Huang Tao spoke up, "Aunt Sun, no one pushed us into the river, and it wasn’t my idea to go play outside the compound. This afternoon we were all catching crickets on the grass beside the training ground. Lele wanted to catch shrimp in the river outside. We didn’t want to go, but he said he’d go by himself. I was worried about him, so I followed. Just as I got to the riverbank, I saw Lele slip into the water. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Tao Xiaolei and Second Girl. We were all catching crickets together."
Huang Tao’s words were logical and unaffected by Sun Lifang’s accusations. He even suggested witnesses.
Upon hearing this, Sun Lifang cried even harder, "My poor Lele, how is it that when you fell into the water together, only he had to die at such a young age? Surely it must have been a river ghost who found my Lele adorable and wouldn’t let him go..."
Suddenly, Sun Lifang seemed to remember something, "Right, Taotao, someone saved you, didn’t they? Who saved you?"
Huang Tao looked at An Ran lying on the hospital bed next to him, "It was Auntie who saved me."
An Ran hadn’t been with the Guard Team for long, so Huang Tao didn’t know she was Mu Xingfeng’s wife. He only thought this auntie was very pretty and looked somewhat familiar.
Sun Lifang whirled around. Earlier, she’d focused entirely on asking Huang Tao about the situation and hadn’t paid attention to An Ran on the adjacent bed. Now that Huang Tao mentioned An Ran was the one who saved him, everything made sense to her.
Why did two children fall into the water simultaneously, yet Huang Tao was unharmed while her Lele was lost forever? If before, she’d thought it was Lele’s fate, now she could no longer believe that.
It had to be An Ran. An Ran must still hold a grudge against her for spreading rumors and chose not to save Li Lele.
Thinking of this, she turned red-eyed towards An Ran, tearfully accusing, "An Ran, I admit I was wrong about you before, and I’ve apologized. Do you know that after I apologized on the radio, almost all the wives in the compound shunned me, avoiding me whenever they saw me? Isn’t that punishment enough? Why do you torment me like this?"
Sun Lifang’s words baffled An Ran, who glanced in confusion at Mu Xingfeng.
Mu Xingfeng’s face was like a brewing storm. If it weren’t for the fact that Sun Lifang had just lost a child, he’d have already had Liu Hu throw her out of the hospital room.
Seeing Sun Lifang’s attack aimed at An Ran, Mu Xingfeng spoke in a chilling voice, "Captain Li, control your family member."
Li Dajun, having just lost his beloved son, was immersed in grief.
Li Lele was Li Dajun’s only child. The child’s death was a devastating blow to him.
Although he followed closely behind Sun Lifang, he hadn’t taken in a word she said, his mind filled only with thoughts of Lele’s expressions and mannerisms.
