After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Back in the bedroom, Li Jiawei changed her clothes and walked into the bathroom, wanting to wash away her fatigue. The warm water washed over her body, but it couldn't wash away the heaviness in her heart.

After taking a shower, she lay on the bed, thinking she could relax, but she found that she felt an indescribable pain from heart to body. The fatigue seemed to penetrate deep into her bones, making it impossible for her to really relax.

For some reason, the tears in her eyes suddenly couldn't stop flowing down. She tried hard to control her emotions, but found that the more she suppressed her emotions, the more tears flowed.

She curled up on the bed, letting her tears soak the pillow. At this moment, she finally allowed herself to let go of all her strength and release the grievances and loneliness that had been pent up in her heart for a long time.

Li Jiawei curled up on the bed, feeling a surge of longing in her heart. She missed her home, her parents, and her elder brother Li Chengwei.

She picked up her cell phone and wanted to call her parents, but if they knew that she and Xuanbao had a conflict, they would definitely think too much.

After thinking about it, he finally found his eldest brother Li Chengwei's phone number, hesitated for a moment, and dialed it. The phone rang twice and was quickly connected.

It was dark in the night at a regiment camp in Beijing. The lights in other buildings had long been turned off, and only the lights in the duty room and the deputy regiment commander's office were still on.

Li Chengwei was sitting at his desk, concentrating on studying the exercise plan.

The military region will organize a large-scale exercise soon, and he will lead the regiment. This is the first time he has led troops to participate in such an important exercise. He is nervous but also excited. Therefore, he has hardly rested before 12 o'clock these days.

When the phone rang, he glanced at the screen and found that it was his sister Li Jiawei calling, so he answered the call immediately: "Jiawei? It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Hearing her elder brother's familiar voice, Li Jiawei's tears welled up again. She tried to make her voice sound calm: "Brother, I... miss you a little bit."

Li Chengwei heard the strangeness in her tone and immediately put down the pen in his hand, saying with concern: "Jiawei, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? Did you have a fight with Xiao Yi?"

Li Jiawei took a deep breath and forced a smile: "No, Xiao Yi and I are fine, I just suddenly miss home. Brother, have you been very busy with work recently?"

Li Chengwei frowned, feeling slightly uneasy. He knew that Li Jiawei had always been strong, and if she hadn't encountered something special, she would never call him at this time.

He slowed down his tone and said softly, "I'm fine here, but I'm a little busy preparing for the exercise. Jiawei, are you having any difficulties? If so, be sure to tell me, don't keep it to yourself."

Li Jiawei felt warm in her heart when she heard her brother's concerned voice: "Brother, I...I just feel a little tired from work recently."

Li Chengwei listened and said, "If you are tired from work, take more rest and don't push yourself too hard." But after thinking about it, Li Chengwei said, "Jiawei, remember, you will always be my sister. No matter what happens, I will support you."

Li Jiawei looked out the window, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, if...one day Xuanbao and I stand on opposite sides, who will you stand with?"

Li Chengwei on the other end of the phone did not hesitate at all, his tone was firm and gentle: "Jiawei, do you still remember the days when we were little? At that time, my parents worked in the city, and there was only you and me at home.

I almost held you in my arms when you grew up. I remember the first word you said was not "Dad" or "Mom", but "Brother".

There was a hint of nostalgia and emotion in his voice: "Now that I think about it, although I am only eight years older than you, you are the first child I raised. I spent more time and effort on you than on Wenjun and Lele."

As Li Jiawei listened to her eldest brother's words, the bitterness in her heart was gradually replaced by warmth.

Her tears welled up again, but this time, the tears were no longer an expression of grievance and loneliness, but an expression of her being touched by and relying on her family.

Li Chengwei continued, “Jiawei, you are my sister and you will always be my sister. No matter what happens, I will stand by you.

As for Xuanbao, although she and I are related by blood, perhaps because of our different upbringings, she does not have any sense of belonging to this family.

Besides, I can count the number of times I have met her on one hand. We are no different from strangers. But you are different. I raised you and you are irreplaceable."

Li Chengwei's words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into Li Jiawei's heart, dispelling the coldness and loneliness in her heart.

She held the phone tightly and said, "Thank you, brother."

Li Chengwei smiled, with a hint of doting in his tone: "Silly girl! When this exercise is over, I will go to Xishi to see you."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiawei calmed down a lot. She walked to the window and looked at the quiet night sky. Everything has its fate. Maybe she wanted too much and wanted to satisfy everyone. But now it seems that some people are destined not to be together. Why bother too much!

After taking care of her skin, Zhong Xinlan walked to the bedside and sat down, then gently leaned on Li Yan, with a hint of probing in her tone: "Whose side do you stand on between Xuanbao and Jiawei in tonight's matter?"

Li Yan took Zhong Xinlan in his arms, lowered his head to smell her hair, and asked with a smile: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Zhong Xinlan raised her head, her eyes gentle but with a hint of inquiry: "Jiawei and Xuanbao's matter made such a big fuss tonight. Uncle Liang is here, and my parents are coming back. It's definitely not going to end well. It's difficult for us to be caught in the middle!"

Li Yan was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, with a hint of complexity in his tone: "Xinlan, let's not talk about my parents' attitude towards Xuanbao and Jiawei.

Personally, in terms of feelings, Xuanbao and I have a deeper relationship. After all, we grew up together. But Jiawei is my biological sister after all, so it's impossible to say that there is no feeling at all, but there is a gap of more than 30 years between us. "

He paused and continued, "Moreover, the emotional world of adults is complicated, especially for a family like ours. Blood ties are important, but interests are also very important. It would be naive to only talk about feelings."

After listening to her husband's words, Zhong Xinlan looked up at him, with a hint of confusion and reminder in her tone: "But Jiawei also helped you a lot. If it weren't for Jiawei, you wouldn't be able to get a share of the Qionglin District Old City Reconstruction Project?"

Li Yan's fingers gently entwined Zhong Xinlan's long hair, with a complicated and helpless look on his face. He said slowly: "I know Jiawei has helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to her.

But as a brother, I don't have much say in what happened tonight. Let's wait until Dad and Mom come back to discuss everything."
