Chapter 297 What kind of nonsense is this, "little grass and little flowers"? It sounds awful! [20]

Zhao Mingxue thought of Li Pan'er.

The Zhao family and the Li family have a good relationship. Zhao Mingxue and Li Zhiyun are childhood sweethearts, so she is naturally familiar with Li Xiaoxiao as well.

That pretty, well-behaved girl, who was a little too naive and innocent.

Zhao Mingxue likes Li Xiaoxiao very much and feels sorry for her.

So when Xiao Chenghai brought Li Pan'er back five years ago, Zhao Mingxue also thought that she was the only bloodline left by Li Xiaoxiao in the world, so she decided to cherish her as much as possible.

Strangely enough, Zhao Mingxue just couldn't bring herself to like Li Pan'er.

Despite Li Pan'er always affectionately hugging her arm and calling her "Auntie" in a spoiled manner.

But how could Zhao Mingxue not see the utilitarianism that Li Pan'er couldn't hide in her eyes?

At that time, Zhao Mingxue always felt that Li Pan'er did not seem like Li Xiaoxiao's daughter.

But how could it not be?

She thought again that Li Pan'er probably resembled her biological father more, inheriting the bad traits from her very bones.

Zhao Mingxue now realizes that Li Pan'er is not Li Xiaoxiao's daughter after all!

It's terrifying that someone so young would dare to instigate their parents to impersonate someone else!

Thinking about this, Zhao Mingxue came back to her senses and answered Li Chu's question: "Li Pan'er took your place, of course she has to return it."

"Everything that belongs to Chuchu can't be taken away by anyone."

Li Chu looked at Zhao Mingxue, her eyes filled with emotion.

Zhao Mingxue felt a pang of tenderness at her gaze and reached out to rub Li Chu's head.

The little girl's hair was dry and brittle due to long-term malnutrition, and it didn't feel good to the touch.

Zhao Mingxue felt very sorry for Li Chu and wished she could immediately raise him to be plump, healthy, and healthy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mingxue decided that she should take Li Chu to get a physical examination first.

She's had a tough time these past few years, so her indicators must be poor in many areas. We need to see what she's lacking so we can address it specifically.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Mingxue said to Li Chu, "Let's go, let's go down first."

Li Chu nodded and let Zhao Mingxue lead her downstairs.

Everyone was in the living room except for my younger cousin.

Li Chu addressed everyone, starting with his maternal uncle.

The Li family was very surprised. They never expected that Li Chu would remember them after only meeting them once!

After the initial surprise, I couldn't help but feel proud, thinking, "As expected of the Li family, they are so clever!"

It took Li Pan'er quite a bit of effort just to get to know all the members of their family!

The eldest uncle beckoned to Li Chu and called out, "Chu Chu, come here."

After shouting, the eldest uncle felt a little uneasy.

He looks fierce and is usually very serious, so his grandchildren are all afraid of him.

Li Pan'er was also afraid of him and never dared to act coquettishly with him.

The eldest uncle was somewhat worried that Li Chu would also be afraid of him.

Because after Li Chu heard him call out, she didn't come over immediately, but instead looked up at Zhao Mingxue.

Zhao Mingxue released Li Chu's hand, smiled, patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Go ahead."

Li Chu then lifted her foot and walked towards her maternal uncle.

"Uncle," she called out obediently.

The eldest uncle tried his best to appear less serious, patted the empty seat next to him, and said, "Sit here."

Li Chu sat down.

She had just sat down when the butler came to report: "Master, Chairman Xiao has arrived with... Miss Li Pan'er."

The eldest uncle nodded.

Li Chu looked up, gazing expectantly towards the entrance.

A moment later, the maid led two people in.

The man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with obvious wrinkles on his face.

Perhaps because she smiles often, her nasolabial folds and crow's feet are quite deep, making her look approachable.

The man had completely black hair, was quite tall, and was wearing a rather casual, modified Tang suit.

Although he has gained some weight, you can still vaguely tell that he was handsome when he was young.

This is Li Chu's maternal grandfather, Xiao Chenghai.

Before Xiao Chenghai even arrived, his hearty laughter preceded him: "Brother, what's the occasion? Why did you call to invite Pan'er and me over for dinner?"

The tone of his voice clearly indicated that he was very familiar with the Li family.

Li Chu shifted her gaze to the girl next to Xiao Chenghai.

Just like the photo in the file Shen Wangqing gave her, it was fifteen-year-old Li Pan'er.

Li Pan'er has been pampered for five years, and with the addition of minor cosmetic surgery on her features, she has already undergone a complete transformation.

Today she wore a white haute couture dress, and her long, well-maintained hair was smooth and shiny.

With fair skin and light makeup that softened her natural features, she looked like a very pretty and pleasing young woman.

Li Pan'er comes here every month and sometimes stays for a couple of days, so she is quite familiar with the Li family.

As soon as she entered, she greeted everyone with her usual sweet smile.

But when Li Pan'er looked at her maternal uncle, she naturally saw Li Chu sitting there.

In fact, Xiao Chenghai had noticed Li Chu long ago.

The main reason was her seating position, and secondly, she looked dark-skinned and thin, clearly not like a city person, much less a rich girl.

But Xiao Chenghai also noticed that his maternal uncle valued Li Chu highly, and he was thinking of asking her later which family's daughter she was.

Li Pan'er, however, quickly recognized Li Chu.

It had only been five years since they last met, and Li Chu hadn't changed much; he was still the same dark-skinned and thin man Li Pan'er remembered.

However, in Li Pan'er's memory, Li Chu was always wearing tattered and ill-fitting clothes.

The shoes always had a hole in them, and the hair was always uneven and chewed by a dog.

Unlike now, Li Chu was wearing a gray-blue haute couture casual suit and slippers worth five figures.

Although it's still short, it's not messy anymore.

But none of that is the main point!

The key question is, why is Li Chu here?!

Shouldn't Li Chu have already been sold to an old bachelor in the village by now?

What's wrong with her parents? Why didn't they keep an eye on her?

Still too young, Li Pan'er couldn't hide the shock on her face in time.

The Li family had been watching Xiao Chenghai and Li Pan'er's reactions ever since they came in.

They clearly saw Li Pan'er's shock and panic.

The third uncle couldn't help but speak first: "Pan'er's expression suggests she recognizes Chu Chu, right? What, does she think she shouldn't be here?"

Li Pan'er's pupils contracted, her face turned pale, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Upon hearing his third uncle's words, Xiao Chenghai looked down and saw Li Pan'er's expression, which she hadn't yet managed to conceal, and a strange sense of unease crept into his heart.

However, he was much more experienced than Li Pan'er, and immediately showed just the right amount of doubt and asked, "Third Brother, who is this Chu Chu?"

Xiao Chenghai's words brought Li Pan'er back to her senses.

She managed to calm herself and tried to adjust her expression.

"Little Grass? Is that you, Little Grass? You... how did you get here?"

The Li family knew that Li Xiaocao was Li Chu's original name, and they hated that name!

Auntie snorted coldly and said, "What 'little grass and little flower'? That sounds awful! Her name is Chu Chu, Li Chu!"
