"A fake report?" Li Duo stared at her and asked, "Do you think this report is fake?"

Wen Shu didn't look him in the eye and nodded without hesitation, saying, "Yes, I think this report is fake. I don't recognize the legitimacy of this report."

"My child! How dare you take him for such a strange test without my permission? And then you inexplicably produced a fake report!"

"Li Duo, it seems that in order to protect Lin Jingyu and make people believe what Lin Jingyu said on stage, you have gone to this extent to fabricate the story?"

"Let me tell you, it's your business if you want to cooperate with her, but don't use my son as a shield, or I'll fight you to the death!"

Wen Shu spoke with righteous indignation, showcasing all the acting skills she had ever possessed.

She tried her best to suppress her trembling hands, afraid that Li Duo would notice something was wrong.

She could only cling to the fact that Li Duo wanted to protect Lin Jingyu, because Li Duo had done this many times before.

She admitted that she was afraid, afraid that the baby would be taken away from her.

Why?

Why did Li Duo know about this?

That shouldn't be the case.

He had already accepted the premise that Rou Rou resembled him when he was a child, but that they had no relation. So why did he suddenly want to do a paternity test with Rou Rou, especially without his knowledge?

Li Duo suddenly took a step towards her, and Wen Shu's heart immediately went into overdrive. She nervously took a step back. "What do you want to do?"

"Wen Shu, do you remember the question I asked you on your way away from the Zhong family the first time?"

Wen Shu replied without hesitation, "I don't remember."

Li Duo remained unmoved. "I asked you if you had ever been to the Golden Summit Club, and you denied it at the time."

Wen Shu raised her eyes. "I've never been there before."

"You're lying."

Wen Shu shuddered. "I never went there, so what's the point of lying?"

"A person who has lied once will find it difficult to be believed by others afterward."

Wen Shu swallowed nervously. "I'm not lying, and don't talk nonsense. It's really an eye-opener that you went to such lengths to dump Lin Jingyu."

“It has nothing to do with Lin Jingyu,” Li Duo said. “This is between the two of us. You went to the Golden Summit Club and got involved with a man…”

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call for help!" Wen Shu said sternly, bluffing.

But how could Li Duo possibly be scared by her?

He stared at her face. "I was also at the Golden Summit that night. I thought that woman was Lin Jingyu..."

"Shut up!" Wen Shu was about to lose her temper. "What you did with whom is none of my business. I'm leaving!"

She naturally couldn't leave.

Li Duo held the door shut with one hand, preventing her from opening it, and she didn't even dare to turn around.

Because Li Duo was standing right behind her, she turned around and fell right into his arms.

"I thought I had a responsibility and an obligation to her, until today, I realized that the woman was you..."

"It wasn't me!" Wen Shu screamed, frantically pulling at the doorknob. "Open the door and let me out!"

Li Duo said definitively, "You've been to the Golden Summit!"

Wen Shu denied it, "I haven't been there, you're talking nonsense!"

Li Duo pressed closer, "That night, you were the one in my room!"

Wen Shu firmly refused to admit it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. It wasn't me, it has nothing to do with me!"

Li Duo said, "Rou Rou is my child!"

Wen Shu's hand, which was frantically pulling at the door, stopped abruptly, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. "No! It's not him. Rou Rou is my child, he has nothing to do with anyone else!"

"Open the door, let me out, let me out!"

Li Duo suddenly reached out and firmly embraced her waist. "Wen Shu, you said before that because of my engagement with Lin Jingyu, I wasn't worthy to pursue you. Now that I'm single, do I have the right to pursue you?"

Wen Shu's hand, gripping the doorknob, froze. She stared at her hand, her voice slowly calming down, "What do you think?"

“I admit that I have done many things to hurt you, and I also admit that I went too far in order to protect Zhong Wanwan. I can make up for it.”

"Make amends?" Wen Shu sneered. "How do you plan to make amends? Like you did with Lin Jingyu, with sweet words, gentle care, buying bags, flowers, and gifts?"

Li Duo stared at her face, remaining silent for a moment.

At this moment, Wen Shu was like a hedgehog with all its quills popped out, showing disgust and rejection towards him.

The hurt he caused her made her instinctively launch a full-scale defense when facing him.

He brought this on himself; he deserved it.

“I told you, but you naturally don’t believe me. I can show you.”

Wen Shu scoffed without hiding her true feelings, "Li Duo, when you say these things, you are still as arrogant as ever, and as impossible to communicate with as ever."

Then she stood still, slowly turned around, and looked up at him slightly. "When you shamelessly said these sweet nothings to women, did you ever think about your father's and your family's opinions?"

"You're so young and you have such a bad memory. Have you forgotten how your sister stopped me multiple times, hit me, and how your dad called to warn me?"

"When you irresponsibly said you were doing it for my benefit, did you ever consider that your words and actions were actually driving a powerless woman like me to my death?"

"You're not planning on a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario, are you? Your family beats and humiliates me, and then you appear like a savior, loving and protecting me?"

Wen Shu retorted sarcastically, "Is it because Lin Jingyu acted in idol dramas that you've also fallen in love with melodramatic idol drama plots?"

Li Duo: "..."

Those words were so harsh; every single one pierced my heart.

How did she manage to say such harsh words without batting an eye?

Wen Shu sneered: "Speechless? I hated you both the moment Lin Jingyu said those insulting things to me on stage with your tacit approval. You two are a disgrace!"

After she finished cursing, she suddenly reached out and pushed Li Duo, causing him to stagger back a step. Wen Shu took the opportunity to open the door and rush out.

Li Liangfeng stood outside the door, stunned when he saw Wen Shu run away without looking back.

He thought that Li Duo and Wen Shu had talked things out inside and that things would change between them, so why did Wen Shu seem even angrier?

On second thought, it was probably Miss Lin's remarks that had angered Wen Shu.

Just as Li Liangfeng was about to push the door open, Li Duo suddenly opened the door and stood at the doorway, saying, "Go and invite the elders of the family over."

Li Liangfeng looked up, "Including Third Grandmother?"

Li Duo nodded: "Yes."

"Mr. Li, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Li Duo said, "Yes, invite them over!"

Wen Shu was right to scold him. His unilateral decision will only make the Li family hate Wen Shu more. He must make everything clear!

All the elders of the Li family came over, looking at Li Duo with solemn expressions. "You called us all over, what's the matter?"
