Arrogant Wife Forcing Marriages (Indonesia)
Side Story 9 (I'm Sorry Mom)

Li YongSheng and Shen Fengyin put books and shoes in a box.

"He just passed the entrance selection, what is an important achievement to celebrate"

Li Huan Rui was unhappy with her parents being too overused when she got word from Aunt An if Jiao passed the entrance examination. Li Huan Rui who managed to get the first rank alone was not treated so specially like this.

Mama and her dad just responded, 'as we expect you're the best. Maintain rank'. But Li Huan Rui did not get any gifts even papa and his mother did not hold a special dinner like this.

"Rui, don't say something as disdainful as that. Wasn't this a good start for xiao jiao. He got a perfect score in the entrance exam. The little girl had tried hard so it was not only natural that her hard work would get a reward"

"I've worked hard, but my mom has never treated me special"

Li Huan Rui said it slowly like a hunch.

"What did you say?"

Shen Fengyin did not clearly hear what the son was saying.

"No"

"Li Huanrui, why aren't you ready. We have to get going"

"I'm not coming, you're the only one celebrating the boy's success"

"You have to come"

"No. Isn't my existence not very important to you. Mama and papa will also pay more attention to the girl, as well as Papa Fan so why would I come there if it was just like the wind ah not even the wind can still be felt. Even my existence is worse than the wind"

"Li Huanrui, how do you think that way. Never mind, mama doesn't want to argue with you. Get ready now"

"I told you that I don't want to go to a party for that lowly girl"

"Li Huanrui don't call Jiao that low"

Shen Fengyin felt her head turn dizzy. Li YongSheng held onto his body.

"Dear, take care of your emotions"

Li YongSheng tried to calm Shen Fengyin down. Li Huan Rui felt worried for her mother but she pretended not to care.

"I'll go stay the night at Runah Helena"

"You stay in the Si family. You're with them more often than your own family. Why don't you stay next in the Si family"

Shen Fengyin disliked how the Si family tried to approach her daughter. During the holiday the little man spent more time with Helena and stayed at the Si family.

"Yes, if I could I would do it. Si's family understands me even more than my own, which cares even more about other people's children than about his own"

Shen Fengyin clenched her hand restraining her anger.

"What did you say? When do we not care about you?"

"Since the girl showed up you've been ignoring me. Every time we get together you'll talk about how great that girl is. When you are with him your attention is always focused on him and even now you are specially holding a celebration for him. Mama, when I got the highest score for the first time ever have you done anything as special as you did for her? Mama cares so much about him I thought maybe he was your biological son and not me"

"Li Huanrui how do you think like that?"

Shen Fengyin held her head. It felt like his head was getting sicker because of his increasing emotions.

"Already, Fengyin. Don't argue with Rui. You better rest now or your condition will get worse later"

Shen Fengyin had frequent headaches since that severe accident. Especially when she is too tired and stressed. These two days he had a lot of work because Shen Fengyin had taken time off, when tired, Shen Fengyin's emotions often increased. He even fainted and complained of a headache.

"I'm doing fine. We can't keep our guests waiting"

"Sister and Mo An An An would definitely understand. You better take a break. I'll call them "

Li YongSheng called a servant and asked him to escort Shen Fengyin to his room. Li YongSheng looked at his son who showed an indifferent expression even though his eyes were clear that he was worried about his mother's condition. Li YongSheng sighed.

"Rui, go back to your room"

"No, I'll keep going"

The little man put his foot.

"Li Huanrui, do you want to make your mama's condition worse? Don't you care about your mom anymore?"

"For what reason do I care about people who don't care about me"

"Li Huanrui, your mama didn't show much attention to you but that doesn't mean your mama doesn't care about you. You know your mom for a week left her job yesterday hoping she could spend time with you during the holidays but you just ignored her and left with Helena. You know, when you didn't come home and chose to stay at the Si family's house at that time your mother had prepared your favorite dinner to celebrate your success even though the celebration was too late. Do you know how much your mom thinks of you? But what's your pay for your mama"

"If you don't care about your mother any more then go "

Li YongSheng left his son. Perhaps this was the first time he reprimanded Li Huan Rui's actions coldly. Maybe he was so overwhelmed by his son that his son became this selfish. Li Huan Rui stayed in place and pondered. He then returned to his room.

***

Li Yongfan's family was about to leave when he suddenly got a phone call from Li YongSheng. Li Yongfan answered the call from his sister.

"Chelle, A-Sheng. We're leaving..."

"...."

"What?"

"...."

"Yes, I get it. It's okay . Yinyin's condition is much more important. I'll tell An and Jiao"

Li Yongfan then put his phone in his suit pocket.

"Suami, what's going on?"

"Shen Fengyin's head grin relapsed again. They can't come. But they haven't canceled the order yet, A-Sheng asked us to enjoy dinner without them"

"It's a pity they didn't come. I'm worried about Fengyin's situation"

"I'm sure he'll be fine"

"Suami, better ask A-Sheng to cancel the order "

"Jiao, what about you? Do you mind?"

They planned to celebrate Jiao's success, of course Li Yongfan needed to ask his daughter's opinion.

"It's okay, papa. Either way we can't have fun when Aunt Yin's sick"

"Alright, papa's gonna call A-Sheng"

"Papa, Jiao is going to go to the room"

"Aren't you going to eat before you take a break? Papa's gonna have the head chef cook"

"No need papa, Jiao's not hungry"

Jiao then went to her room. Mo An An followed his daughter.

***

Li Huan Rui was in her room, she picked up her phone and pressed Helena's name on the contact search list.

"Cash, Rui"

Helena's voice sounded the story. Li Huan Rui felt guilty when he heard that excited voice.

"Helena, I'm sorry. I can't come to dinner at your house or stay over"

"Why?"

Li Huan Rui heard disappointment from his tone.

"Something's going on at home. I can't go"

"That's it, I understand. I'll tell my parents this so they don't have to wait for you"

"Thank you for your understanding"

"No problem"

"Bye"

"Bye"

After saying goodbye to each other Li Huan Rui turned off the phone. Li Huan Rui was about to put down his phone when a call came in. Li Huan Rui had seen that nameless number before. Li Huan Rui hesitated to shift the green button.

"Hallo, who is this?"

"Li Huanrui"

The voice on the phone sounded flat but there was still a slight childish voice.

"Yes, who is this?"

"It...Li Jiao's"

"Li Jiao's? Ah, you even dared to use Li's surname and even call me?"

Li Huan Rui was annoyed. The girl who was the source of the problem in the debate and her mother contacted her. Even dared to introduce yourself using the surname Li.

"I'm sorry, but young master Li. I know you must be feeling uneasy about Aunt Yin but I'm sure Aunt Yin will be fine"

"Why are you talking about this? You want to see that you're more concerned about my mom than I am"

"It's not like that, I..."

"Have it, I don't want to chat with the person who got me in trouble"

"Young master, what do you mean..."

Li Huan Rui immediately turned off the call and also disabled his phone. He did not want the girl to admire him.

***

"Darling, take your medicine first. Behind this you rarely take medicine and rest, don't you?"

Li YongSheng gave the medicine to his wife after feeding her with wheat porridge. Shen Fengyin reluctantly took the bitter medicine. Shen Fengyin did not like the bitter taste of the medicine so she only took the medicine when her head really hurt.

"Rest. Don't think too much"

"But, what about Rui, did she still decide to leave?"

"No, he's back in his room"

Shen Fengyin sighed.

"Jangsn was too thoughtful of little Rui's remark. He may be in a period of rebellion at this time "

"Better now you rest. Don't think about anything else"

Shen Fengyin started to get sleepy due to the influence of the medicine. He slowly closed his eyes and began to fall asleep. Li YongSheng gave a kiss on his forehead.

"Good sleep my wife"

Li YongSheng then stood up and exited the room. He met Li Huan Rui who was standing at the door.

"Papa, how's mom doing? Can Rui see mom?"

"Can't you meet your mama?"

"What's? Why?"

"Have you considered and understood your mistake?"

Li Huan Rui was silent. He still felt that he had done nothing wrong. Even if she made her mother sick.

"Consider your mistake and after that you can enter "

"Lad..."

"Go back to your room, your mama's resting now don't bother her"

Li Huan Rui reluctantly returned to his room.

***

Shen Fengyin woke up when she felt the rays of the rising sun hitting her eyes. Shen Fengyin looked towards the clock beside the bed.

"Eh? It's already 8 and a half. I need to get ready quickly"

"Good morning, my wife. Are you awake?"

"Suami, why didn't you wake me up? I need to get ready soon"

Shen Fengyin hurriedly got up and grabbed her wheelchair.

"You need more rest, my wife. I'll ask Han's assistant to handle the task"

"No need, I..."

"Fengyin, don't force yourself. You have to take good care of your health. Tell your husband this and rest more"

"I'm..."

"No objection"

Shen Fengyin sighed. He knew he could not refute Li YongSheng otherwise the man would make a fuss.

"Darling, I have to go. I've hired a chef to make food for you. The waiter will take him in"

Shen Fengyin simply nodded. Li YongSheng gave a brief kiss on his lips.

"I'm going first"

"Be careful and remember, you must get home on time"

"Of course "

Li YongSheng then left the room. Shen Fengyin was bored. He took his cell phone and opened an economic news site to find out the state of affairs in the business world today.

Tok tok tok tok

"Come in"

The door slowly opened. A boy carrying a tray approached him. Shen Fengyin was surprised to see her son.

"Mama, Rui brought porridge for mama"

"Why did you drive, wasn't there a waitress ?"

"Yes, but Rui wants to personally take her for mama"

"Oh, thank you"

"Mama, Rui's going to feed mama"

"No need, mom can eat alone"

Shen Fengyin held the bowl over the tray. He started eating the porridge. Li Huan Rui still stood still in his place.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Fengyin frowned seeing her son just standing still. Shen Fengyin could feel the look in her son's eyes that looked like she wanted to say something but she hesitated.

"Mama, Rui's sorry"

"Rui was already being rude to mama even Rui did not pay attention to my mama's attention to Rui. Rui knows mama must still be angry at Rui"

Shen Fengyin placed the bowl on the nightstand.

"Come, Huanrui"

Li Huan Rui stepped closer to Shen Fengyin hesitantly. Shen Fengyin spread her arms and hugged her little man. Shen Fengyin realized that without him the foundation of her son had now started to grow. Li Huan Rui was just quietly in his arms, he was comfortable with the warmth of his mother's embrace.

"Mama's not mad at you. Mama is a little upset but mama can not be angry too long at mama's favorite son"

"Li Huanrui, mama also apologized for not being able to openly show your attention or pamper you excessively. You're going to be the successor to Shen's company, mama doesn't want you to be weak because you're spoiled"

"Yes, Rui understood "

"Good"

Shen Fengyin gently stroked her son's short hair.

"Huan Rui, you don't know why you look hostile to Jiao or cold to you but I hope you can get along with her as a brother and take good care of her"

"Mama..."

"Jiao is not the biological child of your father Fan but your father Fan has admitted Jiao and Aunt An have treated you well, right? At least you can take care of Jiao like papa Fan takes care of you. Mama wishes you could be a good brother to Jiao"

"No, I wouldn't want to think of him as a brother, even if he had already obtained Li's name but that girl would never be my brother. I don't want to lose my mom and dad's affection"

"Why do you think so? We will always love you "

"Lies, mom and dad always show affection to the girl. You love him more than I do"

"It's not like that. Rui, to mom and dad, we love you more than anything"

Shen Fengyin now understood the reason her son had behaved badly to Jiao.

Tok tok tok tok

"Come in"

"Young lady, Ms. Li and her daughter come to visit you"

"Take them to my room"

"All right, young lady"

Li Huan Rui felt annoyed when he found out that the girl was coming. Li Huan Rui simply stared intently at Jiao as the girl walked in.

"Aunt Yin, how are you doing"

'Stop pretending to be considerate of your mom. I know you want to attract my mom's attention. You sly girl's'

"Aunty's condition is better than ever"

"Mama, I have to go back to my room. I have to prepare myself for the new school year"

Li Huan Rui actually said that just as an excuse.

"Rui, if you teach, you can catch Jiao, you can..."

"I just want to learn by myself"

Li Huan Rui left the room.

***

Li Huan Rui felt someone following him. He was not in his garden but in the garden behind his house.

"Stop following, thief girl"

Jiao came out of her hiding.

"Why are you following me? If you try to get close to me because you wish I could be your brother, then you're doing nothing"

"You did use Li's surname but you it doesn't change the fact that you're just a lowly girl and a thief girl"

Li Huan Rui said it sharply. Jiao bit her bibr hearing the insults of a precious man for her. It seemed, the hatred of his prince was so great to him, was it because he was not in a wealthy family environment that his prince hated him that much.

"Bec .... I mean young master, this is for you"

"Do you think I'd accept your gift?"

Li Huan Rui ignored Jiao who held out a box to him.

"This.I hope you will accept this in lieu of the watch you have given me"

"Hand watch?"

Li Huan Rui clenched his hands. He remembered that he had become a fool for giving away his precious watch and helping the girl.

"Hour hands will not be replaced. How expensive the watch you give will not be worth the watch"

"The watch was my mother's birthday present. You made me lose that watch to help you but what in return to me, you took my parents' love for you"

"Young master"

"You know, I'm sorry I saved you. If I hadn't saved you maybe I wouldn't have met you and bonded with you"

"Don't follow me or try to get involved with me"

Li Huan Rui then left Jiso who was just silently looking at Li Huan Rui's back who was getting away from him. Jiao always felt grateful that Li Huan Rui saved her back then and made her aware of the bad deeds and she did not intend to disturb the life of her prince. Jiao sighed, if indeed his disobedience with Li Huan Rui would make him happy then Jiao would
