After listening to Li Mu's words, Fan Shengmei's expression tightened, and the mess in the family was finally exposed. Also, for such a smart person like Li Mu, even if she didn't say it, couldn't she have guessed it?
A wry smile appeared on Fan Shengmei's lips. She had finally reached this point. After learning about her family's situation, what would Li Mu think of her, and would he still treat her like before?
Will he dislike her quagmire family and slowly give up on her?
Fan Shengmei didn't know, and she didn't dare to think deeply. She just wanted to be an ostrich, bury her head, let the outside wind blow and rain, and obey the fate of her fate.
Li Mu looked at Fan Shengmei, who looked gloomy and even a little panicked, gently held her in his arms, kissed her, and said softly in her ear: "What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"
Feeling Li Mu's tenderness, Fan Shengmei finally let go of her anxious heart. She hugged Li Mu with her backhand and clung to his arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Li Mu, am I afraid? I have such a brother and such a family, am I afraid?"
Li Mu said: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will dislike you and don't want you anymore? Or are you afraid that you will be dragged down by your family for the rest of your life, squeezed for the rest of your life, and have no peace of mind."
Li Mu's words directly hit Fan Shengmei's heart. She was afraid of both of these things and kept her awake at night.
"I…"
Li Mu held her hand tighter and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here! If there is a problem, we will solve it."
"In the final analysis, you are afraid that I will dislike you for having such a family, and you are also afraid of being dragged down by such a family for the rest of your life."
"Since the source lies in your family, wouldn't it be great if we solved the source and allowed you to restore normal family relationships?"
Fan Shengmei's eyes lit up, and hope and longing for the future rose in her heart.
Yes! If the family problems can be solved and all problems can be solved, she has nothing to worry about.
But, are her family's problems so easy to solve? Fan Shengmei doesn't have confidence in Li Mu, but in herself.
Li Mu looked at Fan Shengmei who was deep in thought, reached out and slapped her round buttocks.
"What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I just said?"
Fan Shengmei felt relieved when she saw that Li Mu was touching her as before.
She said softly: "I heard it!"
Li Mu said: "Now that I heard it, do you want to be obedient and solve the problem at home?"
Fan Shengmei's face turned red and she whispered: "Yes."
Li Mu pinched her tender face: "Okay, as long as you are willing to change, take the time in the next two days to introduce the situation at home to me in detail, and we will find a solution together."
"If you find a solution, you must resolutely implement it. If you give up halfway, then I will be very disappointed with you. In fact, I don't mind families like yours, but there is still room for change and I don't want to give up."
"If you can't hold yourself up to the wall with mud, you can't blame me."
This last sentence was obviously very lethal, causing Fan Shengmei to wake up from the environment created by Li Mu just now with gentleness.
What Li Mu said just now was very clear. It's not that he doesn't dislike his family, he just doesn't want to give up easily and wants to help him change.
If she doesn't work hard, doesn't have this determination and cruelty, and the mud can't hold up the wall, then there will be no future.
From now on, she will bid farewell to her life of fine clothing and fine food, be beaten back to her original form, and continue to be the miserable Fan Shengmei who was sucked by her family and cannot get rid of her life.
This is what she is deeply afraid of. She is used to the life of a noble lady, can she go back to the past?
If your ability cannot support your ambition, your life will probably be even worse.
Looking at Fan Shengmei's expression, Li Mu was quite satisfied. As long as he was afraid, fearful, and willing to change, if he really wanted to be Voldemort, then he would be too lazy to wade through this muddy water again.
For someone who is so confused, it’s better to do it as early as possible! He has no shortage of women.
Looking at Fan Shengmei with pear blossoms and rain in front of her, Li Mu suddenly thought of Deng Jiajia.
I also have a miserable family and a brother like that!
Compared with Deng Jiajia, Fan Shengmei's conditions are actually quite good. Although her family has burdens and her brother has caused trouble for her, she has the initiative on whether to help or not.
However, she may have enjoyed the honor of jumping out from the bottom of a family where men were superior to women and becoming the backbone of the family. Coupled with her own hesitant character, she fell deeper and deeper into the situation.
Deng Jiajia has a family that is even more troubled than the Fan family, and she also has a brother who has no bottom line, making it impossible for her to make any friends, and forcing her to sell herself as a drinker to pay off her debts.
There is no initiative and no room to struggle out.
In comparison, Deng Jiajia is more ruthless and decisive than Fan Shengmei, and her scheming is also not comparable to that of Fan Shengmei. If Deng Jiajia was placed in Fan Shengmei's position, the current situation would not be possible. Deng Jiajia can put Fan Shengmei
The family is very confident.
If Fan Shengmei was put in Deng Jiajia's position, she would never think about the possibility of turning around in her life. There is no worst, only worse.
Under the same adversity, Deng Jiajia grabbed any life-saving straw as much as possible, tried her best and paid any price to break out of the quagmire and get rid of her original destiny.
Fan Shengmei, you set up the ladder for her, but she is still hesitating whether to climb it or not.
If it were Deng Jiajia in front of her, she would be able to settle the Fan family affairs by herself without any guidance from Li Mu. What about Fan's father, Fan's mother, brother, Lei Lei... is her own happiness important?
Li Mu sent brother Deng Jiajia in, and Deng Jiajia looked at her brother as if he were a passerby, without any emotion. If Li Mu sent brother Fan Shengmei in, she would definitely cry. Under the pressure of her parents, she would run around to intercede and do things.
Things that are hard work and have no results.
Li Mu sometimes feels strange about Fan Shengmei, saying that she is materialistic and money-worshipping, and there is always something wrong with her.
The reason why gold worshipers are gold worshipers is because they enjoy the pleasure of spending money, are extravagant and greedy for a high-quality material life, spend money like water, spend money lavishly, are greedy for enjoyment, and enjoy leisure and work.
Fan Shengmei lives in the worst house, and the clothes she wears are all high imitation A-grade goods. She is usually very tight-lipped, frugal and doesn't dare to spend a penny more. She is even more frugal than Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying.
Such gold-worshiping women are also rare.
Li Mu understands that the reason why Fan Shengmei cares so much about money is because she often cannot make ends meet.
She pays the mortgage for her brother every month, sends living expenses to her parents, plus her own rent and daily expenses. Her little salary is clearly arranged every month.
If you overspend even a little bit, you will have to waste time in the future.
We ordinary people will fall into this state of being very concerned about money when we are short of money or overspend, cannot pay off our mortgage or car loan on time, or have insufficient living expenses.
Normally, you don't care if someone lends you some money and you don't repay it. If you are barely able to eat, and someone lends you hundreds of dollars and you don't repay it, you really want to pull them over and beat them up.
However, once you have enough money, this state will naturally disappear.
All of Fan Shengmei's income is clearly arranged, and she is basically in this state of overspending and financial constraints all year round. It may be the occasional state of ordinary people, but it may be normal for her.
Looking at Fan Shengmei, who was a little absent-minded and with tears in her eyes, Li Mu said: "Okay, if you feel like it, you can cry later. First, find your parents and arrange a place to stay."
Only then did Fan Shengmei react. Thinking of her parents' situation and the main purpose of coming today, she quickly stood up.
Li Mu said: "Send your parents' photos and names, and I'll send someone to look for them first."
"Okay, okay..." Fan Shengmei said, quickly wiped away her tears, took out her mobile phone, and sent photos and specific information to Li Mu.
Li Mu took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Lao Zhang, send a few more people to the train station to find a few people. I will send you photos and information later. Try to find places where you can avoid the wind and keep warm."
"Okay, okay... you go and look for her first, I'll be there right away."
With that said, he gestured to Fan Shengmei: "Let's go, find your parents first, make arrangements, and we'll talk about anything tomorrow."
Fan Shengmei snorted with red eyes and obediently followed Li Mu out the door.
