Chapter 453 Only one can save himself
Li Meng did not answer Su Xiaoxiao's questions, but every question she asked touched Li Meng's heart.
Seeing that she didn't answer and was determined to leave, Su Xiaoxiao raised her voice and said, "Li Meng, before sunset tomorrow, if you are willing to work with me to resolve this crisis, please call me. I'll wait for you!"
The two words "waiting for you" lingered in Li Meng's ears like lingering echoes.
Sitting on the big wooden bed in the prison, she recalled what Su Xiaoxiao had said to her and felt a little upset.
She knew why Su Xiaoxiao told her all this, but she couldn't control her wild thoughts.
She knew very well what would happen to those who went against Li Hanchuan.
If Yun Guanzhong loses this game, she will have no chance of turning things around in the future.
She is now betting her entire life on this, but she doesn't know whether she will win.
Even if she won, she didn't know whether Yun Guanzhong would fulfill his promise.
There were too many uncertainties that made her start to re-examine everything.
It was true that she hated Su Xiaoxiao, but she didn't want to drag the Li Group into trouble, let alone put the Li Group into crisis.
Even if Yun Guanzhong took over the Li Group in the future, it would not be of any benefit to Li Meng.
As long as she doesn't return to the Yun family, she will become a joke in this upper-class circle.
What's more, it is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Li Hanchuan does not become the president of the Li Group, he can still ensure that Su Xiaoxiao will be safe in this life.
But what about herself? She didn't know how long she would have to stay in this dark place... The arrogance in her heart gradually disappeared at this moment.
According to Su Xiaoxiao, Yun Guanzhong had the chance to rescue her, but he never said anything to her about wanting to rescue her from prison.
It's not that he doesn't have the ability, but he has never thought about saving himself from suffering...
This humble father-daughter relationship has never been taken seriously by anyone, including Li Meng and Yun Guanzhong.
If there is no transaction between them, they will be nothing to each other.
She has lived with her mother since she was a child, and has seen the fickleness of human nature and the cruelty of the world. However, Li Meng's heart is still full of desire, but when she knows that she can't get it, she has to choose indifference.
The feeling of sadness slowly spread from her chest, and the woman's arrogance and stubbornness disappeared at this moment.
Li Meng hugged herself tightly, and when she thought of the discrimination and unfair treatment she suffered in her childhood, tears instantly rolled down her cheeks like raindrops.
She knew very well that although Su Xiaoxiao's words were not pleasant to hear, they were stating a great fact. If she wanted to leave here, she had to save herself.
As long as I promise to help Su Xiaoxiao resolve this crisis, Su Xiaoxiao will agree to any conditions I propose without hesitation.
What she wanted was nothing more than freedom and the identity of the daughter of the Yun family. Only in this way could she have the possibility to compete with Su Xiaoxiao.
But would Yun Guanzhong agree to let her return to her ancestral home? Li Meng didn't know, or maybe she didn't want to admit the voice of denial in her heart.
Even if she is still alone in the end, what if Yun Guanzhong regrets halfway and destroys the bridge after crossing it? Where will she be placed?
Li Meng also had to take this issue into consideration. She had witnessed his ruthlessness in previous incidents like this, so how could she place all her bets on him alone?
However, she had finally gotten Su Xiaoxiao behind bars, so how could she let her get out of this predicament so easily? She was unwilling to accept this, she was unwilling to accept this!
Leaning against the head of the bed, Li Meng had never had such a clear understanding of this matter.
Her mind was filled with contradictions and hatred. After thinking it over, she decided to take another gamble, found the jailer, and called Yun Guanzhong.
"I want to renegotiate a deal with you, Director Yun. If I can use this opportunity to help you overthrow Li Hanchuan, I will take your surname and live a glorious life as the daughter of your Yun family! Director Yun, will you agree?"
When asking this question, Li Meng was very nervous.
She was afraid that Yun Guanzhong would nod, but also afraid that he would not nod. This complicated emotion always made her feel uneasy.
The cunning Yun Guanzhong was naturally stunned when he heard her suddenly ask this.
They had an agreement before that even if he publicly acknowledged Li Meng as his illegitimate daughter, they would just go their separate ways and not interfere with each other.
But today, she suddenly asked this question, and Yun Guanzhong thought that there must be a reason. As for what the reason was, he didn't know yet.
Now, Li Meng is the key to resolving the whole thing. He can't let her feel uneasy, but he is also unwilling to give her any hope.
In order to appease Li Meng, Yun Guanzhong replied after a moment of silence, "I have never thought about really bringing down Li Hanchuan, so I'm sorry I can't answer the question you just asked."
Li Meng had anticipated many answers in her mind. She thought that he would be like he had been before and tell her firmly not to dream of getting something that did not belong to her.
I also thought that he might accept me because he felt a little guilty towards Wu Tong.
However, Li Meng never expected this answer.
I held the receiver tightly in both hands, feeling a strong sense of suffocation.
Li Meng knew that he was rejecting her, but she couldn't find any fault with him.
She suppressed her sadness and asked again, "Mr. Yun, my mother has waited for you and longed for you all her life. Have you ever felt the slightest bit of guilt towards her?"
Yun Guanzhong fell silent again. To him, the "love" they had back then was nothing more than a romantic affair.
"I feel sorry for your mother. If she wasn't so persistent, perhaps what happened later wouldn't have happened."
The corners of Li Meng's mouth twitched again. He caused his mother to die with hatred, but in the end, it was her mother's fault...
Haha... I couldn't help but feel a little sad, as if I was not surprised by this answer.
The only pity is that her mother’s short life was ultimately wasted.
Wiping away the tears from her eyes, Li Meng no longer hoped for any affirmative answer, and just asked numbly, "Director Yun, have you ever thought of me as your daughter for a moment?"
Yun Guanzhong was slightly stunned. He didn't know why Li Meng suddenly asked these strange questions today.
In his opinion, they should have reached a common understanding on this level of relationship a long time ago, so why should she make herself unhappy?
The man's face gradually turned angry. He said, "Li Meng, you are a smart person. You shouldn't ask such questions."
These simple words made Li Meng face the reality again.
She didn't know what she wanted from Yun Guanzhong. It was obvious that there had never been any real feelings between them.
A trace of coldness flashed through her heart. She wiped away the extra tears from the corners of her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Director Yun, I asked too much."
