Chapter 313: Untitled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the room, Li An’an heard a knock on the door. She thought that Chu Yichen had sent someone to get her, so she went to open the door, dragging her feet.
It turned out that Li Xinyi and Liu Luhua were standing outside.
“What are you doing here? I don’t wish to see you.”
Before she could do anything, Li Xinyi and Liu Luhua pushed the door open and barged into the room.
Liu Luhua had been sick for the past few days, and she looked unwell. Seeing Li An’an in front of her again was a huge blow to her.
Compared to five years ago, Li An’an was even more beautiful now. She had always known that Li An’an was very pretty, so she had intentionally made the girl wear clothes that were dull and ill-fitting to conceal her beauty. Five years ago, she had even given her to the fat and old CEO Cao. Who would have expected that she did not die in the explosion? Instead, she became even more beautiful.
Now, the girl’s dazzling beauty was an eyesore to her. Even her carefully protected daughter was overshadowed by that girl’s radiance.
Li Xinyi’s face was also full of jealousy. Previously, when Li An’an was bare-faced, one only felt that she was pure and compelling. Now, in the purple gauze dress and charming makeup, Li Xinyi felt totally defeated by her.
“An’an, I heard from Xinyi that you have a misunderstanding about us, so I specially came to explain. Back then, we only took you to the hotel to celebrate. We didn’t have any bad intentions. You’ve misunderstood!” Liu Luhua smiled kindly. She knew best what Li An’an was like. The girl used to be soft and gentle. Even when she was bullied, she would never resist and would silently take it in her stride.
She must have gone through much suffering and unhappiness to have changed so much. Now that she was humbling herself to come to her, the girl couldn’t possibly continue to resent her, and would go back to the Li family obediently.
Seeing that they had shamelessly forced their way in, Li An’an shut the door behind them. What happened back then was too dirty, and she didn’t want anyone to hear about it.
“There’s no need to quibble. Five years ago, I was by the door and heard you saying how you had given me to CEO Cao and in turn benefited from it! Now that you’ve spent everything that you got from the deal, you’re refusing to admit it?!”
Liu Luhua’s expression changed. What? Back then, Li An’an was at the door? How was that possible? She had been negligent. “An’an, you must have misheard. How could I have given you to CEO Cao? That old and ugly man was old enough to be your father. I’m not that heartless. You must have drunk too much and woke up in the morning muddle-headed! Speaking of which, I have yet to ask, where were you that night? I booked a room for you, but you didn’t return all night. I was worried for a long time!”
Li An’an closed her eyes and tried to recall what had happened five years ago. Her chaotic memories were filled with heavy breathing and ambiguity. Only, that man was not the disgusting CEO Cao, but Chu Yichen.
But all the same, it was unforgivable.
“You won’t admit it even now?” Li An’an was furious. “Alright, let me ask you then, you said that you had found my family. Tell me who my family is and where they are. If you bring them here, I’ll believe you!”
Liu Luhua’s expression stiffened, and she smiled slyly. “Actually, later on, we realized that you were really just an orphan. At that time, we were mistaken. You didn’t have any biological parents.”
“I don’t believe you. Then why did you go to the orphanage to steal the jade pendant?”
“That’s because we miss you too much. I wanted it as a keepsake, but you sent the child to take it back! Where’s the jade pendant now? Was that your child?” Liu Luhua asked the two questions that most concerned her.
The jade pendant held the key to the Li family’s fortune, and the child was Li An’an’s Achilles’ heel. The child looked about four years old.. Could it possibly be CEO Cao’s child?
