Li Jian's heart tightened suddenly. He looked at Li Changqing with shock and asked suspiciously, "Father, are you saying that Lin Qinghuan didn't upset Piaoxue at all, and that Piaoxue deliberately made me bully Lin Qinghuan?"

"But I don't understand why Piaoxue did that?"

Just as Li Changqing was about to tell Li Jian why, Wang Cuihua interrupted, "Why? Of course, it's to suppress Lin Qinghuan, to compete for favor, and to live a better life."

"Then why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Li Jian asked.

Li Changqing sighed, "We wanted you to see things for yourself, but who knew you would go down such a dark path and still not understand Lin Piaoxue's character."

Li Jian shook his head and said loudly, "Piaoxue is so gentle and kind, I don't believe she is that kind of person. I don't believe what you are saying, and you can't just falsely accuse her."

As Li Jian spoke, he ran into the room, unable to accept the claim that he had been used by Lin Piaoxue, but still firmly believing that Lin Piaoxue was a kind-hearted girl.

Li Changqing and Wang Cuihua watched Li Jian run into the room with bitter expressions, their hearts filled with helplessness and worry.

Wang Cuihua frowned and looked at Li Changqing. "I've always known that Piaoxue is scheming, but Xiaojian likes her, so I didn't stop them from seeing each other. But Piaoxue has been stringing Xiaojian along, and now this has happened. Is there still any chance for Piaoxue and Xiaojian?"

Li Changqing looked at Wang Cuihua with a sneer. He had long seen through Lin Piaoxue's vanity and never thought that Lin Piaoxue would choose Li Jian.

Wang Cuihua met Li Changqing's gaze and asked with a sudden realization, "Did you already know that Xiaojian and Piaoxue wouldn't end up together?"

Li Changqing said frankly with a gloomy face, "Yes, I saw it long ago. Lin Piaoxue is only interested in marrying into a rich family and has no interest in Xiao Jian. She is only friends with Xiao Jian because she likes him because he listens to her."
