"You slipped down by accident, how can you say I pushed you?" After her initial fear subsided, Li Xuemei grinned maliciously.

His entire face was swollen like a pig's head, with two bloody marks still bleeding, and his teeth were broken, causing blood and foam to fly everywhere from his mouth.

Li Xueli shook her head violently, lunging at her with intense hatred, "She deliberately lured me to the edge of a cliff, threatening me with her daughter's life..."

When her daughter was mentioned, she became even more agitated, "Where is my daughter? What have you done to her?"

Seeing her near-madness, Li Xuemei smiled smugly, "So many years have passed, what do you think of her now?"

Su Xi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she clearly saw Li Xuemei glance in her direction when she said those words.

However, it was only for a moment before Li Xuemei quickly shifted her gaze.

Su Xi watched the two sisters arguing and getting entangled, and felt a little confused.

Suddenly, a hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her into an embrace. "Li Xueli is Li Xuemei's twin sister. The two had some conflicts when they were young. When I asked Si Nan to investigate this matter, I found out that Li Xueli had also given birth to a daughter."

"You suspect that my background might be related to Li Xueli?" Su Xi boldly guessed.

Zhou Jingming did not deny it and nodded, "We'll have to wait for the results of your paternity test with Su Jianguo to know for sure. Let's not act rashly. Li Xueli's appearance may also provide us with answers."

Su Xi leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and asked in a hoarse voice, "When did the investigation begin?"

The man will help her, far beyond her plans.

Looking at his handsome face, which was shrouded in mystery, Su Xi suddenly felt an urge to get to know him better.

Before, her relationship with him was purely for show, but after spending time together, she discovered that this man was not simple and had deeply aroused her interest.

"What? You want to reward your husband?" Zhou Jingming didn't answer her question directly, but instead changed the subject.

Su Xi was amused by his sudden frivolity. "I'll make you happy when we get home after this is over."

"But you're suddenly so interested in my affairs, could it be... that you like me?"

Zhou Jingming tightened his grip a little, a playful smile on his face. "What do you think?"

Su Xi couldn't discern his thoughts, so she had no idea what his answer would be.

Her little hand clenched into a fist, and she lightly but firmly punched her in the chest. "Tell me the truth, won't you?"

"certainly……"

Zhou Jingming looked into her eyes, which were gentle and shimmering like a river of spring water. He parted his thin lips slightly and slowly uttered words.

Seeing his sudden seriousness, Su Xi's heart started racing, eager to know his answer.

"I……"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xuemei's vicious laughter came from ahead, "After you fell off the cliff, she suddenly fell seriously ill and died."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..." Li Xueli couldn't accept this fact, and she grabbed Li Xuemei's hair and screamed, "You killed my daughter, give my daughter back to me."

The two sisters got into a fight.

Li Xuemei was already injured, so she was no match for Li Xueli. Her injuries were already quite severe, and after this entanglement, her face was covered in blood.

It was at this moment.

A "ding" sound.

A crisp phone notification sound rang out.

Su Xi opened it and saw that it was an identification report sent by Lin Ye.

The moment she saw the result, her pupils hardened.

Zhou Beiming noticed something was wrong with her, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Xi didn't say anything, but handed him the phone.

A photo appeared on the screen; it was a preliminary appraisal report on Su Xi and Su Jianguo.

Just as he expected, Su Xi and Su Jianguo were not related by blood!

Lin Ye called soon after.

Su Xi answered the call in front of Zhou Jingming, and Lin Ye's deep and pleasant voice came through, "Xi'er, the preliminary results have been sent to you, and the specific data is still being verified."

Su Xi hummed in response, her face expressionless.

She had doubted countless times that she was not Li Xuemei's child, but she never considered Su Jianguo.

If she is not Su Jianguo's daughter, then who is her father?

Although this report is a preliminary test, Lin also went to the most authoritative testing bureau in Kyoto for testing this time, so normally the preliminary results should not be too different.

After thanking Lin Ye, Su Xi hung up the phone and turned to Zhou Jingming, "Do you have any information on Li Xueli?"

She had Fu Yu investigate the Su family for so many years, but they hadn't found a single clue. She never expected that Zhou Jingming would be able to find even someone like Li Xueli who had been dead for over twenty years.

This man always surprised her.

Who exactly is he?

Their power was even greater than that of Fengxiang Pavilion.

Zhou Jingming glanced at Si Nan, signaling him to speak.

Si Nan nodded and confessed everything.

"Back then, the Li Xueli sisters were driven to hatred by love, and their relationship broke down and became strained. Later, Li Xuemei heard that Li Xueli had secretly given birth to a daughter, and she harbored evil intentions. So she had someone forcibly take away Li Xueli's child. When Li Xueli found out, she chased after her to demand her child back, but was led to the edge of a cliff and was pushed off by Li Xuemei herself."

“I investigated for several months before I found a clue about Li Xueli. She works as a waitress at the hotel. At first, she was unwilling to cooperate with us. It was only after I confessed all of Li Xuemei’s bad deeds to her that she agreed to help.”

Si Nan patiently explained Li Xueli's background, then handed a document to Su Xi, saying, "This is Li Xueli's background; you can take a look."

Su Xi took the book and read it quickly, becoming more and more shocked as she read. She simply couldn't imagine that Li Xuemei could be so ruthless, not only treating her twin siblings cruelly but also targeting an infant.

However, considering what Li Xuemei has done to her over the years, it is not surprising.

The records only document the feud between Li Xuemei and Li Xueli, but there is no record of that man.

Zhou Jingming saw through her thoughts and explained, "Si Nan investigated that man. He was using a fake identity, and I suspect that his background is not simple."

"I am doing my best to investigate, and I will report to you as soon as I have any leads."

Si Nan was unusually serious, so Su Xi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll have Sister Hua give you a reward later. You've worked hard."

After saying that, she glanced at Hua Qing, who was not far away, and winked at her teasingly.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind.

Su Xi turned her head and saw Li Xuemei holding a desk lamp, frantically smashing it at Li Xueli.

She narrowed her eyes, quickly dodged past, grabbed Li Xuemei's hand before the lamp could injure anyone, and pushed her away forcefully.

Li Xuemei staggered back a few steps, lost her grip on the desk lamp, and dropped it. The glass shattered, scattering sharp shards all over the floor. She also lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Sharp shards pierced her flesh, causing her to scream in excruciating pain.

Su Xi ignored her and bent down to help Li Xueli up. "Are you alright?"

Li Xueli's hair was disheveled, and there were several scratches on her face, some of them quite deep, showing that Li Xuemei had used a lot of force.

"It's alright, thank you."

Li Xueli's eyes were red and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She was swaying and looked like she was in a bad mental state.

She told the bodyguard to take the person downstairs to treat the wound first, as she had no patience to waste time with Li Xuemei and directly showed her a recording.

"Ms. Li, please enjoy this final gift of condolence I'm giving you!"
