"Li Man hadn't seen her daughter for two months. Since the incident involving Wang Junfeng, she hadn't gone to see her daughter. At first, it was because the case hadn't been settled, and she was also injured. After the case was closed, she was busy with her stall and never had the time to visit her daughter.
This morning, after Li Man and Chen Xiaohui finished buying groceries, she asked Chen Xiaohui to go home by herself while she went to find her daughter.
Today was Saturday, and her daughter was always at home on Saturdays.
Li Man called her daughter, hoping that she would wait for her at the entrance of the residential area, but despite making several calls, her daughter didn't answer.
She had no choice but to drive into the residential area.
After parking the car, she walked to the elevator and saw a few familiar neighbors. She approached them and greeted them, but to her surprise, when those people saw her, they turned and walked away as if they had seen a ghost.
Li Man felt a sense of unease in her heart as she rode the elevator alone.
It had been a long time since she had been back to this home. Li Man stood at the door, a mix of emotions flooding over her. She took out the key to open the door, but she found that the key couldn't go in.
She tried several times, but it wouldn't open.
That's when she realized that the lock had been changed.
Li Man was furious and raised her hand to knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
She knocked for a long time, but no one opened the door.
She called her daughter again, but her daughter still didn't answer the phone.
What's going on?
Was her daughter still asleep?
Even if she knocked so loudly on the door, even a pig would be woken up.
Helpless, she had to call Huang Dehan.
The phone rang for a long time before someone answered with an impatient voice, "What? Why are you knocking on the door? Get out of here. This isn't your home. Don't come here again."
Li Man was furious. It turned out that there was someone at home, but they refused to open the door for her.
She was about to ask if her daughter was at home when the call was abruptly ended.
Li Man was trembling with anger and called Huang Dehan again.
But the call was hung up by the other party.
She refused to accept it and called again, but all she heard on the other end was a busy tone. Huang Dehan had blocked her.
Li Man had no choice but to call her daughter again.
Her daughter should be at home, but why wouldn't she answer her phone or open the door for her?
The thought of her daughter refusing to answer her phone made her heart ache.
No, she had to ask her daughter why she wouldn't answer her phone.
She repeatedly dialed her daughter's number.
Finally, the call went through, but before Li Man could feel relieved, she heard her daughter's cold voice on the other end, 'Don't call me again. I don't have a mother like you!'
A chill spread through her body, almost numbing every nerve.
Li Man hadn't even had a chance to ask her daughter why when the call was abruptly disconnected.
She stood there, holding her phone, unable to believe that her beloved daughter could say such cruel words to her.
She looked at her phone but didn't have the courage to call again.
She was afraid that she would hear even more heartless words from her daughter's mouth.
Her vision blurred, and tears silently streamed down her face.
This was even more heartbreaking than discovering her husband's affair.
She had loved her daughter for so many years, but her daughter said such heartless words to her."
Anger exploded in her heart like gunpowder, and she wished she could rush in, grab her daughter, and give her a good beating, just like she did when she was a chubby little girl.
She lifted her hand, intending to knock on the door, but it fell weakly by her side.
Forget it. She had nothing now, and she couldn't give her daughter anything either.
If her daughter didn't recognize her, so be it.
After all, her reputation was tarnished, and she had no money.
Wiping away her tears, Leman left resolutely.
