You Are My Unforgettable Love

Chapter 1227: Xia Yehua’s Marriage (22)

Xia Yehua was even more taken aback by this news.

The fact was that in her youth, she had indeed been together with Li Mao.

But later on, they had parted ways and they both got married to other people.

After their marriage, for the sake of not arousing suspicion, they had not contacted each other. This had lasted for a period of twenty years.

It was only when she left the Shen family with her son and housekeeper in tow, penniless, that Li Mao appeared once again to help her pay for Shen Liangchuan’s medical treatment. He also found them accommodation to settle into.

But even then...

Even the deepest feelings had diminished after 20 years.

At the time, Xia Yehua hadn’t even thought of being together with Li Mao again.

Besides, she had only accepted his help at first but later on, they lost contact once again.

Until Zhang Yuan passed away.

Her death took Xia Yehua by surprise. On the day she died, Xia Yehua had gone out, wondering how Li Mao was taking it. Later on, they ran into each other at the place that they had often hung out together in their youth.

Li Mao had been drinking by himself.

She had a few words with him.

Because Zhang Yuan was no longer around and she was divorced, they eventually grew closer to each other.

Initially, Li Mao couldn’t get over Zhang Yuan’s demise. It was only after a year that he started to overcome it gradually. Later on, with more contact, he started to have feelings for Xia Yehua again.

Hence, Zhang Yuan’s death really had nothing to do with Xia Yehua.

But Zhang Yuan’s elder brother obviously did not believe Li Mao’s words. He insisted, “If what you say is true, then let us take a look at all her medical reports from the past. Show me all of them.”

Li Mao’s eyes flashed when he heard these words. He hung his head somewhat guiltily and said, “I’ve thrown the reports away.”

“Thrown away?”

“That’s right. Yuanyuan didn’t want all of you to worry, so the reports were destroyed. And after she passed away, I was even more worried that you all would be sad, so the rest of it was burnt.”

“Ha! Li Mao, do you think we will believe you? Why would you worry about us knowing her condition after she died?! The fact that you have burnt all her medical reports shows that you must have something to hide. Tell us, what did Yuanyuan die of exactly?”

Li Mao said in a firm tone, “She had cancer. It was at a late stage by the time we found out. She lasted a few more months without further treatment before she succumbed.”

“Cancer. Cancer. Cancer is normally hereditary! Up till now, no one in our family has died of cancer. How could she have gotten cancer? Do you really think I’ll believe you?!”

Before Li Mao could say another word, an anxious voice shouted from outside, “Uncle, it was really cancer!”

These words were followed by Li Tianyu’s appearance as he walked into the room.

The moment he walked in, he apologized to Shen Zihao and Shen Liangchuan, “Big brother, so sorry. My grandma doesn’t understand this and has wrongly accused Aunt Xia.”

Then he turned around and tugged at Senior Auntie Zhang’s hand, saying, “Granny, you really have misunderstood. My mom’s death has nothing to do with Aunt Xia. Let’s go home, don’t create a din here, otherwise it will put Dad in an awkward position.”

A hard slap landed on his arm the moment he said those words. “Silly! Your mother gave birth to you and brought you up, but now all you care about is your father?! Let me tell you, I will not let this matter rest easily. I have to get to the bottom of how these two people caused my daughter’s death. Otherwise, the two of you can forget about a wedding!”
