Chapter 45: Lost is lost
The couple entered the ward, and Peng Li lay weakly on the bed. She cried weakly when she saw the two of them.
"Mom and Dad, you are finally here. I am so scared. Zhou Cen actually poisoned me and controlled me. I really didn't expect him to be like this. It's really hard for me to believe this is true."
Peng Li really felt that everything was turned upside down. The deep love she thought she had was actually caused by poisoning.
She thought she would never lose her, but her adoptive parents wanted to sever the relationship.
She was too wronged. She didn't feel that much love for Zhou Cen. Now that she had lost Zhou Cen, could she not lose her parents?
She was like a wounded little beast, pitifully telling her grievances to the mother beast, waiting for the mother beast to comfort her.
Liu Qing just sat down by the bed calmly.
Peng Bin also calmly went to pour Peng Li some water.
Peng Li reached out and grabbed Liu Qing's hand, her lips were pale, and she shouted timidly: "Mom, I'm so scared. I know I did a lot of wrong things, but that was not my intention. Can you forgive me?" And me?"
Even if she is not with Zhou Cen, she will get married and have children in the future. With the help of her parents, her life will be much easier.
So she had to ask for forgiveness, because she couldn't get back what she had spent on Zhou Cen. She really had nothing now.
Liu Qing looked at Peng Li, smiled gently and said, "Peng Li, you should take good care of yourself first."
When she loved her wholeheartedly, all the sad emotions that concerned her would blur by themselves, and her heart would always have a beautiful filter for her daughter.
But when she separated this single-mindedness, she found that all Peng Li's tricks were so conspicuous and clumsy.
However, she didn't expose it, but asked Peng Li to take good care of her health before talking.
Peng Li saw that Liu Qing's expression was gentle, and she felt less uneasy. She nodded obediently. She knew that Liu Qing liked her obedient appearance the most.
And if you take care of your mother, you will take care of your father.
As for Peng Li's obedience, Liu Qing looked calm and gentle. Peng Li thought she had given up their idea, but a few days later she was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
After Liu Qing and Peng Bin had a meal with Peng Li, the couple formally mentioned to Peng Li about setting up another household registration for her.
Liu Qing looked gentle and calm. Peng Li looked at her, her eyes slowly turning red.
"Mom and Dad, don't let me go. I already know I was wrong. I no longer love Zhou Cen, and if I do that, it's because Zhou Cen poisoned me. He has evil intentions. That was not my intention. …”
Peng Li cried. She didn't understand why Liu Qing could say such cruel things so gently and calmly. She thought everything was over. Was it true that he said he loved her before?
She is so well-behaved, why can't she win back her parents?
Peng Li looked at Peng Bin with pleading eyes.
Peng Bin looked calm: "You are already twenty-two years old. Your major is very good. It is not difficult to find a good job. You will get your diploma soon. You are fully equipped to live an independent life as an adult." Ability, we have done our best to you."
"Aqing, tell her that too."
Peng Bin held Liu Qing's hand tightly. He felt that since they had reached this point and Peng Li was still pretending to be good, it would seem that they were heartless if they wanted to break up with her.
In order to prevent Peng Li from misunderstanding the complaints of some acquaintances in the future, he wanted to nip everything in the cradle. He and Liu Qing should not carry unnecessary things.
Peng Li was a little confused. Is there anything else she didn't know?
Liu Qing looked at Peng Li. Regarding this matter, Liu Qing had asked Nan Xing if he could tell. Nan Xing's answer was yes. Peng Li went to have her fortune told, but she didn't even give her any money. Liu Qing paid a generous sum. Thank you. They are still Peng Li's adoptive parents. Nan Xing saved Peng Li's life. It is right for the couple to thank her.
Liu Qing said calmly: "Zhou Cen didn't poison you, he poisoned you."
Peng Li opened her mouth slightly. It was hard for her to accept it. She obviously understood every word, but the meaning was suddenly difficult for her to understand.
Liu Qing continued: "Ever since you were in high school, if you accepted a bottle of water from him, you would have been infected by a worm. And the worm is not omnipotent. It will amplify some thoughts in your mind. For example, if you want to resist me, then You will be under the influence of the Gu, you will not listen to what I say, you will hate me, and you will satisfy whatever your heart wants to do because of the Gu."
"The reason why you fell in love with Zhou Cen is because of the worm, and also because of your true intentions. In fact, regardless of whether there is a worm or not, you regard us as your private bank. Everything we have, you think, is yours. So it’s natural for you to use it, and it’s natural for you to want it.”
"But now I want to correct you. Don't say that you are our adopted daughter. Even if you are our biological daughter, everything we have is not necessarily yours. Our responsibility is to raise you and provide you with everything before you can stand on your own. It is our responsibility as parents to give you the best conditions and resources we can, but we will not devote our lives to you. You are a free body, and so are we."
"Even if you refuse to sever this relationship with us, it doesn't matter. We and I will not provide you with any convenience or support in the future. If your adoptive father and I pass away, all our inheritance will be donated to the country."
Liu Qing finished speaking calmly and stopped talking, giving Peng Li time to slow down.
Peng Li is young after all and can't hide many of her emotions.
Her shock, anger, resentment, disappointment, and fear were all vividly displayed on her face.
Liu Qing didn't laugh, and neither did Peng Bin. To be honest, they also felt frustrated after educating their children like this. They didn't know what went wrong, but honestly speaking, they didn't owe Peng Li anything.
Although they are very busy at work and sometimes ignore her, they will accompany her whenever they have free time. Peng Li has been to many amusement parks and many geographical science and technology museums. Anything that can open their children's eyes, they will do their best. Let her feel it.
Now, they accept this result calmly.
Peng Li cried again, from sobbing to bursting into tears.
Peng Bin and Liu Qing would no longer hold her in their arms to coax and comfort her.
At this moment, Peng Li truly understood that she had lost such good parents, and her endless demands had finally come to an end. She felt regretful in her heart. Her self-righteous intelligence turned out to be just the willing doting of her parents.
She wanted to save her, but she also resented them for not giving her a chance.
But when the words came to her lips, Peng Li knew that no matter what she did, it was useless, but she was so unwilling to do so. She wiped away her tears and stood up and said, "Mom and dad, can you give me one more day, just one day."
