Chapter 300: The Fake Heiress (9)

"Fiancé? What fiancé? Where did this fiancé come from?" Wen Wan was stunned when she heard what Li's father said. She then remembered that the original owner of this body did have a fiancé in the original work, but the two had no feelings for each other. He was also one of the female lead's simps, a standard devoted second male lead.

"Lin Baiyu of the Lin family, have you forgotten him? You grew up together when you were little. It's just that Baiyu went abroad a few years ago. Now that he's back, the Lin family wants to fulfill this marriage agreement."

It was clear that Mr. Li was not very happy when he said this.

Wen Wan asked in confusion, "But I am not your biological daughter, and this marriage contract does not belong to me. Shouldn't it belong to the real daughter of the Li family?"

Father Li: "..."

"Don't you like Baiyu a lot?"

Wen Wan: "That's all in the past. I'm no longer qualified, Mr. Li. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Father Li was puzzled, fearing that Wen Wan had really hung up the phone. "Bai Yu only recognizes you. He only wants to marry you. Come back."

Wen Yan: "???"

"What did you say? He wants to marry me? But he doesn't like me!"

According to the plot, after the original owner found out that she was not the daughter of the Li family, she targeted the female lead in various ways and contacted Lin Baiyu, wanting to continue the engagement so that she could marry Lin Baiyu. However, Lin Baiyu was fed up with her arrogant and domineering rich girl fiancée. The messages she sent were ignored and no one answered her calls.

How could he possibly still want to marry her?

"How could he not like you? He said he would marry no one but you. Come back quickly. We will pretend that all the wrong things you did before never happened. We forgive you and hope that you can turn over a new leaf, treat your sister well, and stop thinking about bullying her."

Wen Yan: "???"

Of course she wouldn't bully the female lead, but the key point is that she has no intention of going back, let alone going for a marriage alliance. Wen Wan from the bathroom decisively refused.

Upon hearing this rejection, Li's father became extremely angry. "You actually refused? Haven't you always wanted to marry Baiyu? Come back right now!"

Just then, Gu Qian brought something over, saying, "Xiao Qing, I've brought over a portion of this meal."

Wen Wan quickly pulled Gu Qian over, "Uncle Li, I will not have an arranged marriage, nor do I want to go back to the Li family, because I already have someone I like. I have found true love, I only like him, and I will only be with him."

Gu Qian: "!!!"

On the other side, Mr. Li said, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Wen Wan repeated her words, but Li's father simply did not believe it. "Impossible. How long have you been gone? How could you possibly meet someone you like? Besides, what future can people from that small village have? They're all country bumpkins. How can they compare to the Lin family? Don't disobey my orders. My Li family has raised you for twenty years. Do you think you can just leave? If you have any conscience, come back to me. I will send someone to pick you up."

Before Wen Wan could refuse, he hung up the phone.

Wen Wan was furious.

How can Mr. Li be so unreasonable?

Why would you give yourself this marriage contract if you wouldn't give it to your own daughter?

Gu Qian, who was being pulled along, looked at the hand holding his wrist and said, "You..."

Wen Yan: "..."

How embarrassing! In order to reject Li's father, she seemed to have used the male lead as a shield. She quickly apologized and let go of Gu Qian, "What I said just now was all acting, it wasn't real, don't take it to heart."

"Are you going back?" Gu Qian asked.

Wen Wan shook her head. "I'm not going back. That's not my home. Besides, they want me to go back so they can arrange a marriage for me. I'm not stupid enough to go to the lion's den."

"Okay, I bought some fruit. Take some home for Yao Yao to eat later."

Wen Wan went to get some fruit for Gu Qian.

Gu Qian left, and Grandma Shen, who hadn't spoken until now, must have heard it. Wen Wan said, "Grandma, I'm not going back. I don't like that Lin Baiyu, and I don't want to get married yet."

Grandma Shen: "If you don't want to get married, then you don't have to. I can't force you if you don't like it, can I?"

Wen Wan thought that might not be the case. Given Li's father's profit-driven nature, he probably wouldn't give up easily.

Sure enough, on the third day, a car sent by the Li family arrived at the village entrance. The butler, accompanied by bodyguards and dressed smartly, came to the Shen family, attracting the attention of everyone in the village.

"What's going on? Isn't this the steward from that wealthy family who took Xinyue away? Why is he here again?"

"Does that mean they're going to take Xiaoqing away too?"

"That's true. After all, they raised her for twenty years. Even though she's not their biological daughter, they still can't bear to part with her."

"What about Grandma Chen? She's such a pitiful old woman, with neither of her granddaughters by her side."

"I don't know!"

Upon hearing this, the butler said, "Our young lady is also going to take Grandma Shen to Lin City to stay, so everyone doesn't need to worry."

The villagers were surprised; it seemed that the Li family in Linshi was a pretty good family after all.

When Wen Wan returned from her walk with Grandma Shen, she saw this scene and rolled her eyes. Just as she expected, this person had actually come.

The butler walked up to Wen Wan with a rather indifferent attitude. After all, the original owner of this body had treated the butler like a servant and had not formed any good relationship with him.

"Miss, Mr. Li asked us to pick you up and take you back. Also, Miss Xinyue wants to take Grandma Shen back to take care of her. Please come with us as well."

Grandma Shen shook her head and refused, "I'm just an old woman, I don't want to go that far. Besides, the Li family doesn't blame me, and I'm already very grateful. As long as Xinyue is happy, I'm satisfied."

"But Miss Xinyue misses you very much."

Grandma Shen: "I miss her very much, but our fate ends here."

Grandma Shen had her own thoughts. After learning that her wicked daughter-in-law had done such a heinous thing as switching children for money, she felt very guilty towards the Li family, and even towards her granddaughter Xinyue, who had suffered with her for so many years. She also felt guilty towards her real granddaughter Xiaoqing, since she hadn't cared about her for twenty years.

So everything returned to normal, and she was actually very happy to see that Xinyue was doing well.

However, she was unwilling to appear in front of the Li family again, as she felt ashamed to do so.

The housekeeper tried to persuade her, but Grandma Shen's attitude was firm, so the housekeeper had no choice but to look at Wen Wan. Wen Wan was frantically brainstorming solutions and frantically bothering the system.

"Miss Qing, please come with us."

Wen Wan: "I've already said I'm not going back. They cut off all ties when they kicked me out, so I won't go back."

The villagers watching were surprised by what Wen Wan said—that she had been driven out?

"It's not the Li family's fault. I made a mistake. I have no resentment. I am grateful to the Li family for raising me. Although being switched at birth was not my wish, I still enjoyed a life that was not meant to be mine. I will repay these debts little by little in the future, but I will not go back. Butler, you should go back."

The butler frowned. "President Li told us that we must bring you back."

"I'm not going back."

The butler glanced at the bodyguards beside him, and soon several bodyguards surrounded her. Grandma Shen stood in front of Wen Wan and said, "Since she doesn't want to go back, don't force her. If she doesn't want to get married, then she doesn't have to."
