Chapter 56: Li Junyu’s Surprise

As she thought of her sister who had left her, her grandfather who was severely ill, and her father who was slowly becoming distant, her vision became blurrier and blurrier.

Even as a child, she rarely cried. She was always unwilling to show her tears to other people, always preferring to grit her teeth and suffer in silence.

However, now, in this warm hug, the emotions that had long been suppressed burst out at that very moment.

Ruan Mengmeng hugged Li Junyu and cried loudly in his arms as if she was crying for every wrong she has faced.

A while later, only when her tears had properly soaked Li Junyu’s expensive suit did she start to gradually stop her crying.

“Ruan Mengmeng, crying will not solve the problem.”

Li Junyu hugged her. His tone was not as strict, but a coldness was emitted from his eyes.

He had been waiting for Ruan Mengmeng to calm down.

The girl’s tears had surprisingly not caused him to lose his temper and even drove him to console her. But still, that did not mean that he would let her continue to be weak.

Although from the start, he saw her as a hopeless, lost cause.

But now, she had become Li Junyu’s sister and that made it his responsibility to steer her in the right direction.

“If you have questions for your father, the best way is to ask him face to face and not overthink the possibilities.”

He took out the dark-colored handkerchief that he always brought along with him and wiped the tears that remained on her face.

“Wipe away your tears, do what you have to do.”

Ruan Mengmeng’s beautiful eyes were still wet from the tears but after crying just now, her mood had improved.

She took the handkerchief and blushed from the embarrassment.

She had cried in front of Li Junyu for so long, and even… and even sat on his lap, hugged him, and snuggling herself into his arms.

She wanted to pull away, yet she was afraid that the action would be too obvious.

Ruan Mengmeng could only pretend to be fine and continued to sit in his arms. She was using one hand to wipe her face with the handkerchief, while asking as if nothing was wrong, “Do what I have to do… what is it?”
