Chapter 100 Identity Doubt
Chapter 100 Identity Doubt
Li Yuechan cried bitterly, her heart filled with regret.
She hated herself for always compromising whenever her parents threatened her and doing things that she was completely unwilling to do.
"Sister, don't be sad. I think brother-in-law just wants you to calm down and reflect on your mistakes. It's not that he doesn't want you.
If he really didn't want you, he wouldn't have taken the risk to come and save you, right?"
Li Yuexin comforted her in a low voice.
"That may be the case, but I feel that he's so cold to me. So cold that... it's making me cold."
Li Yuechan wiped her tears.
"Li Yuechan, can you not be such a good-for-nothing? Can't you survive without Long Chen?" Han Min couldn't help but ask.
"Mom, this is all your fault. If you didn't force me, none of this would have happened."
Li Yuechan shouted.
"You're blaming me? You yourself agreed to marry Haiyang, didn't you?" Han Min said, "If you didn't agree, would we have tied you up?"
"You..."
Li Yuechan's face turned pale with anger, "Mom, how can you say this?" You told me that we owe the Zhou family a debt that can't be paid off. If I don't marry into the Zhou family, they will make our Li family disappear, and we will have no way out. You asked me to sacrifice for the family and forced me every day.
Why don't you admit it now?"
"That's right, mom. We've already come to this point. Why are you still treating sister like this?" Li Yuexin couldn't help but ask.
She knew the whole truth. She knew very well that if it wasn't for her parents' constant pressure, her sister would never have had any interaction with Zhou Haiyang.
"Yuexin, don't talk nonsense. Isn't mom doing this for the good of our family?
Think about it, the Zhou family worth hundreds of billions. If your sister and Zhou Haiyang were to get married, she would definitely be happy.
And our days will definitely be more relaxed."
Han Min said righteously.
"Can happiness be measured by money?" Li Yuexin couldn't help retorting, "Mom, I think that our family doesn't lack money, even though we don't have tens or hundreds of billions. I think we should discuss and respect each other. That's more important than anything else."
"Alright, don't try to reason with me. Let's go home."
Han Min waved her hand impatiently.
"Let's go. We'll talk when we get back."
Li Shiqi said.
"You guys go back first. I want to get some fresh air."
Li Yuechan took a deep breath and wiped her tears.
She suddenly realized that it was useless to cry in front of her parents.
Her parents didn't care if she was feeling sad or not.
And they had never thought for her.
Li Yuechan's repeated disappointments made her see things clearly.
Sometimes, she really wondered if she was their biological daughter.
In fact, Li yuechan was not the only one who was suspicious.
Long Chen also had the same suspicion!
At this moment, Long Chen had already returned to Zhao Churan's villa.
After entering the house, Long Chen was still frowning.
"How is it?"
Zhao Churan stepped forward and hurriedly asked for the result.
"It's fine now. I've already brought Li Yuechan out," Long Chen said.
"Where is she?" Zhao Churan asked.
"I didn't ask her to come with me. I wanted her to reflect on her actions," Long Chen said.
"Oh my, how can you be like this?"
Zhao Churan glared at Long Chen and said, "Yuechan is already very helpless and must be in pain, but you still ignore her. What if she becomes desperate and does something stupid?"
"I don't think so, Li Yuexin is following her," Long Chen said.
"What if?"
"I'll give her a call," Zhao Churan said with a bitter smile.
"Don't," Long Chen stopped him, "Churan, people need to grow up. She can't be led by the nose by others in everything. No matter how close they are, she can't be like this."
Sigh. Actually, I'm quite suspicious if Li Yuechan is really Han Min and her husband's biological child.
Look at how they treat Li Yuexin. They never treat her this way. But to Li Yuechan, they have been asking her to marry into a rich family time and time again. They don't care if she is willing or not. This is very strange."
"Now that you've mentioned it, I'm also a little suspicious."
Zhao Churan said, "I've never seen any family with parents like this. Why don't you find an opportunity to investigate?"
"Are we really going to investigate? If Yuechan knows about this, will she..."
Long Chen hesitated.
"Go ahead. If she's their biological daughter, we'll just pretend that nothing happened. If she's not, we'll wait for the right time to tell her. What do you think?"
Zhao Churan looked at Long Chen.
"Alright, let's investigate it then. Li Shiqi and Han Min's attitude towards Li Yuechan is too strange. There must be something unusual about it."
Long Chen said solemnly.
"Well, how do you plan to investigate? Steal their hair?"
Zhao Churan curiously asked.
"There's no hurry. I plan to visit Yuechan's grandfather first," Long Chen said.
"If Li Yuechan was not the biological daughter of Han Min and her husband, then Li Yuechan's grandfather must know about it."
"Let me know when you have the result. Yuechan is too helpless sometimes, and even I'm sad for her. Just get the result, don't be too cruel," Zhao Churan spoke in a soft voice.
"Yes, I know."
Long Chen nodded lightly.
"Brother Chen, you didn't bring me out to play today. Hmph, I'm angry."
Little Wushuang skipped over to Long Chen, pouting her little pink mouth, looking very cute.
"Little vixen, go play somewhere else. That's my Brother Chen."
Zhuge Xuan also ran over.
In the end, the two girls hung onto Long Chen.
Long Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Wushuang was fine, however, Zhuge Xuan was already a grown lady and was very mature in all aspects.
Zhao Churan couldn't bear to look directly at them, but she had no other choice.
"Brother Chen, I'll sleep with you tonight. I'll massage your shoulders and legs."
Zhuge Xuan said in a sweet voice.
"No need," Long Chen was startled and hurriedly said, "It's fine. I have something important to do."
"Ah? Really? Are you lying to me?"
Zhuge Xuan was suspicious.
"I'm not lying to you. I really have to leave immediately," Long Chen said.
"Are you really going out?" Zhao Churan asked.
"Yes, I'm going to visit Yue Chan's grandfather. I haven't seen him in a long time."
Long Chen said.
"Okay, go ahead then. It's already night. Be careful."
Zhao Churan gently adjusted Long Chen's collar.
Long Chen got rid of little Wushuang and Zhuge Xuan, left the villa, and headed to Jingshui Villa.
Jingshui Villa had not changed in the past three years.
Long Chen stepped into the tranquility villa and saw that the lights in the old man's study room were still on. He knew that the old man was still there.
He approached the study and heard voices coming from inside.
"Dad, are you really going to just let Li Yuechan and Zhou Haiyang get married?
Yuechan is Long Chen's wife. If Long Chen comes back and finds out about all this, I'm afraid that there will be a big mess."
Li Shiyin's expression was grave.
"What other way do I have? Sigh, I'm old now. Your elder brother doesn't listen to anything I say. He only listens to his wife, Han Min.
I've called Li Shiqi for more than 10 times because of this, but he didn't listen to me at all.
If Long Chen really does come back and wants to blame me, I'll just give my life to him. He saved my life anyway."
Old master Li sighed.
"Dad, that's not what I meant," Li Shiyin said seriously, "Han Min's plan is to use the Zhou family's power to develop herself, but this is the wrong direction. If Yuechan didn't have Long Chen, I would agree. But the problem is that there are no 'ifs'. They forced Yuechan. What's the difference between that and selling their daughter? I can't take it anymore.
Dad, if you make a decision now, you still have time to stop it. The wedding is probably still in progress."
"Do you have any ideas?" Old master Li asked.
"Dad, my suggestion is that you should contact your old friends and make an appearance together to stop the wedding. We'll think of a way to deal with the rest. No matter how powerful the Zhou family is, our Li family can't give in. We'll fight them," Li Shiyin said in a deep voice.
"Shiyin, I didn't expect you to think this way. Alright, then..."
"Hold on."
Long Chen stood at the door of the study and spoke slowly.
Then, Long Chen pushed the door open and entered.
When Li Shiyin and old master Li saw Long Chen, they both stood up in shock.
"Long... Long Chen. Are you really long Chen?"
Old master Li was so excited that his voice trembled.
"Yes, Grandpa. I'm back."
Long Chen said softly.
"It's good that you're back, really. Come here, child. Have a seat."
Old man Li stepped forward and took Long Chen's hand.
"Long Chen, since you're back, you..."
"Uncle, I've already stopped the wedding, and the Zhou family is finished. You'll see the news tomorrow," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Then, what about Yuechan?"
Old master Li asked in a low voice.
"I'm here because I want to discuss with grandpa about Yuechan," Long Chen said.
"Don't tell me that you want to separate from Yuechan."
Old master Li asked hurriedly.
"No, no. Grandpa," Long Chen said softly, "I just want to ask, is Yuechan really the biological daughter of Han Min and Li Shiqi? Why do they treat her so differently from Yuexin?"
"This..."
Old master Li was shocked, and then he smiled bitterly, "They must be related by blood. Li Shiqi and Han Min got pregnant before marriage. Yuechan was born five months after their marriage."
"Have you done any DNA tests?" Long Chen asked.
"No. I'm a father-in-law. How can I pay attention to these things?"
Old master Li smiled bitterly.
Long Chen frowned and pondered seriously.
He didn't know much about Han Min's past, but he felt that he needed to know more about her now.
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about Yuechan, and don't tell anyone about my suspicions for the time being. I'll investigate it myself," Long Chen said.
"Alright, go ahead, but let's not talk about this for now. Chen, tell me, where have you been these past three years? How come there's been no news of you for three years?"
Old man Li stared at Long Chen.
"It's nothing. It's just three years in the military."
Long Chen said with a light smile.
However, old master Li's expression froze, "Shiyin, go get Yueyue up and make something for Chen to eat. I'll talk to him in detail."
"Okay, Chen, continue chatting with grandpa."
Li Shiyin turned around, walked out of the study, and gently closed the door.
