Chapter 864 The Impermanence of Life

Mr. Chen thought that by using his trump card, he could shake Mrs. Chen's resolve, but it seems that this is not the case at all.

After hearing what Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen remained completely unmoved; she even felt a little amused...

Seeing Mrs. Chen's indifferent expression, Mr. Chen felt that something was amiss. Normally, Mrs. Chen would never have been able to hold out for so long, so what was wrong with her today? Why was she taking it so seriously? This undoubtedly made Mr. Chen even more curious.

"Don't try to play the victim with me. I'm not falling for that trick today," Mrs. Chen said helplessly to Mr. Chen.

However, at that moment, Mr. Chen, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Never mind. Never mind."

At this moment, Mr. Chen waved his hand again...

Hearing Mr. Chen's words, which were full of dissatisfaction, Mrs. Chen thought that Mr. Chen probably wouldn't ask her any more questions this time, and she felt a strange sense of relief...

However, at that moment, Li Lili came out of the room...

Upon hearing the sound, Chen's mother quickly turned her head. She always kept her mission in mind and dared not let her guard down for even a moment.

At this moment, Chen's mother stared wide-eyed at Li Lili...

"Xiaoxue, you're up." At this moment, Mr. Chen turned to look at Li Lili and then spoke.

"Yes, I'm up. Have you all eaten?" Li Lili replied.

Then Chen's mother quickly smiled and said, "Yes, we put your food in the microwave. Go heat it up and eat it."

"Okay, thank you, Mom," Li Lili said with a smile after hearing this.

Then I saw Li Lili start walking towards the kitchen.

However, at that moment, they saw Chen's mother walking over with Li Lili...

"Let me do it for you," said Mrs. Chen with a smile.

"No need, Mom, I'll do it. You don't need to worry about it, just leave it to me, it's not a big deal." Li Lili said anxiously after hearing this.

Li Lili felt that if she needed help to heat up the food herself, that would be absolutely terrifying.

"Well, okay then, you do it," Chen's mother replied calmly after hearing this.

Li Lili then turned on the switch and started heating up the food. Chen's mother stood beside Li Lili.

"Xiaoxue, how did you sleep last night?" Chen's mother asked immediately, worried that the atmosphere would become too awkward.

"Yeah, it's great," Li Lili replied quickly after hearing that.

Li Lili thought she had slept quite well, but she couldn't help feeling that Chen's mother seemed a little different. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"As long as you slept well, that's fine. By the way, it's raining outside today." And so, Chen's mother started trying to find a topic to talk about again. She hoped the situation wouldn't be too awkward.

"Huh? Is it raining? I didn't hear anything," Li Lili asked immediately after hearing it.

"It's foggy both above and below, not very big, and quite dense," Chen's mother explained to Li Lili.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili nodded quickly, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's how it is. I understand now."

"I was thinking of going for a walk with you to see if it would rain this afternoon," Chen's mother continued.

However, at that moment, Li Lili quickly smiled and said, "Okay, sure."

"You don't have anything to do today, do you?" Chen's mother then asked.

Seeing this, Li Lili gently shook her head. Li Lili didn't directly tell Chen's mother that Chen Ling had given her a task, because Li Lili knew that this inspiration wouldn't come overnight. After the Fire Clan went out with Chen's mother, their mood improved, and suddenly the inspiration struck.

At this point, Chen's mother couldn't find a topic to continue the conversation, so she quickly turned her head to look at Chen's father next to her, and then smiled at Li Lili and said, "I'm going over now."

"Okay, sure. Mine will be ready soon too," Li Lili nodded in reply.

However, at that moment, Li Lili was seen watching Chen's mother leave...

"You're back?" Mr. Chen asked as soon as he saw Mrs. Chen approaching.

"Yes, you're back. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Mrs. Chen replied casually.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen immediately shook his head, then asked, "Why do I feel like you're just trying to pick a fight with me?"

"What is it?" Mrs. Chen asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel you speak very bluntly and have a bad attitude," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Actually, what Mr. Chen said was indeed correct; Mrs. Chen did speak a bit harshly today. But I don't know why. That's just how it is.

Then Chen's mother smiled and said, "I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I was a bit too harsh when I spoke to you."

"Haha, now that you've said it, I don't know how to explain it to you anymore. Now you know, that's really how it is. So think about how you can make it up to me?" Mr. Chen looked at Mrs. Chen and said very seriously.

Seeing Chen's father's expression, Chen's mother immediately understood what he meant. He had dug himself another hole.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother immediately smiled and said, "It's nothing, that's all. Just bear with it. That's just how I'm going to say it."

"Aren't you being a bit too arrogant? You're bullying people so obviously!" Mr. Chen said to Mrs. Chen with a helpless smile.

Then Chen's mother laughed and immediately said, "Haha, you figured that out!"

Chapter 865 A Walk in the Rain? No, no, no

Just then, Li Lili came out of the kitchen. It wasn't that the food was ready; Aunt Yang said she wanted to help her prepare it.

Li Lili, unable to resist Aunt Yang's enthusiasm, listened to what Aunt Yang said.

After Li Lili came out of the kitchen, she immediately said with a smile, "It's nice that it's raining today. The air feels so much fresher than before."

"Yes, it's so good after the rain. The air is definitely much better," Chen's mother quickly replied to Li Lili.

Just then, Li Lili appeared beside her and said with a smile, "Haha, refreshing. It's great."

However, at that moment, Mr. Chen, who was sitting next to her, quickly said with a smile, "Xiaoxue, since you're here, you two can chat. I'm going out now."

"What are you doing out in the rain?" Before Li Lili could answer Chen's father, Chen's mother hurriedly asked Chen Ling.

"Well, you don't need to worry about that. It's none of your business," Mr. Chen said calmly.

Upon hearing what Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen felt a surge of anger, but then she suppressed her rage and said, "Fine, then you can leave."

"Okay, I'm off." Seeing this, Mr. Chen quickly replied.

At this moment, Mr. Chen didn't actually have any other thoughts; he just wanted to go out and play chess with his friends. It was only because Mrs. Chen had been unwilling to tell him about his affair with Chen Ling that Mr. Chen's tone of voice had changed.

"My goodness, that's really scary," Mrs. Chen said, watching Mr. Chen's departing figure.

"Huh? What's scary?" Li Lili, who was standing to the side, didn't understand the meaning behind Chen's mother's words, so she immediately asked.

"Never mind, you don't know," Mrs. Chen replied, waving her hand.

However, at that moment, she saw Li Lili nod in confusion. Although Li Lili did not know what Chen's mother was talking about, she knew that since Chen's mother did not want to say, she could not ask any more questions.

Then Li Lili, who was standing to the side, quickly said with a smile, "Haha, let me tell you, Mom, going for a walk when it's raining is the best thing to do."

"Hmm? Are you talking about your father, or someone else?" Chen's mother asked after hearing this.

Mrs. Chen thought that they hadn't gone out for a walk either; only Mr. Chen had gone out. Perhaps she was referring to Mr. Chen.

However, it seems that's not the case; Li Lili was actually hinting at something to Chen's mother.

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "Ah, I didn't just mean that Dad went out. I meant that with the weather like this, it's actually a good choice for everyone to go out for a walk, because the air is fresh, which is rare."

"A walk in the rain?" Chen's mother asked in confusion after hearing this.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, but the situation does seem to be like that." Li Lili quickly said with a smile after hearing this.

At this moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, spoke with a smile while also looking intently at Chen's mother. Li Lili thought to herself, wasn't her hint quite obvious?

"What? Perhaps that's how it is," Mrs. Chen said frankly after hearing this.

Chen's mother somewhat agreed with what Li Lili said; the air quality was indeed good, which was quite rare.

"Should we go out and walk around?" Li Lili then asked directly.

Since hints weren't working, Li Lili figured she might as well just say it directly.

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen's mother immediately understood. She thought to herself, "Oh, so that's how it is. That's what it means."

Then, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "Oh, is that what you mean? You want to go out for a walk together?"

"Yes, yes, Mom," Li Lili hurriedly nodded in response.

"That won't do." After hearing this, Chen's mother could see the expectation in Li Lili's heart, but she still chose to harden her heart and refuse.

"Huh? Why not?" Li Lili asked helplessly.

“It’s easy to catch a cold when it rains. What if you go out and get caught in the rain? You’ll catch a cold so easily, especially since you just had surgery and your immune system is still weak,” Chen’s mother said, expressing her concerns.

"It's nothing, Mom. Really, you can believe me. We brought umbrellas, how could we get wet? Right?" Li Lili said hurriedly.

Li Lili was trying everything she could to persuade Chen's mother to go out for a walk. Just now, Li Lili hadn't had the willpower to do so. But now, Li Lili really wanted to go out, and this desire was quite strong.

"Oh, the roads are slippery when it rains. What if you fall?" Mrs. Chen continued, expressing her concerns.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili quickly replied, "It's alright, really, trust me, we can just wear non-slip shoes, right?"

"Does that mean you can always find a way to respond to whatever I say?" Chen's mother looked at Li Lili and began to speak calmly.

"Well, you can't really say that. Hehe." Li Lili looked at Chen's mother and laughed shyly.

"Why do you want to go out so much?" Chen's mother asked Li Lili at this moment.

Because Chen's mother felt that Li Lili wouldn't be so resolute under normal circumstances. She wondered what was wrong with Li Lili today.

"What else could I be thinking? I just wanted to go out and enjoy the rain, since it's finally rained," Li Lili replied immediately after hearing this.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen nodded slightly, then hesitated about whether to go out with Li Lili. Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen glanced out the window, then turned back to look at Li Lili.

Just then, Li Lili noticed Chen's mother's hesitation, so she quickly spoke to her again.

"Mom, how are you? Should we go out and take a look?" Li Lili asked from the side.

"Well, you should eat first, and we can talk about this after you finish eating, okay?" Chen's mother said calmly after hearing this.

Li Lili nodded quickly and then shouted loudly, "Aunt Yang, is it done?"

"Okay, okay," Aunt Yang replied.
