Chapter 365 Treating a Fool
"Mom, how do you have a shop in Beijing?"
Li Yajing suppressed the surging anger in her heart.
He raised his eyes and stared intently at Li's mother, trying to discern any clue from her face.
When Li's mother looked up and met Li Yaqing's eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
Worried that she might misunderstand, he quickly explained, "This is my dowry from your maternal grandmother."
After saying that, she paused for a moment and said, "Your maternal grandparents used to run a silk shop."
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, your maternal grandfather felt that the situation in China was not good, so he sold the family property and went to Hong Kong."
"The leftovers that couldn't be sold were kept by my aunt and me."
Upon hearing this, Li Yajing gripped the property deed tightly in her hand, suddenly feeling like a clown.
I was completely manipulated by my family.
If it weren't for Mother Li wanting to give Gu Yihan a shop as a token of gratitude today, would she have been kept in the dark by them her whole life?
Then give everything that Grandma left behind to her ungrateful older brother and sister-in-law?
No, she absolutely couldn't let her older brother and sister-in-law, who were always severing ties in the newspapers, gain any advantage.
Li Yajing tried her best to suppress her anger and grievances, and took a deep breath.
She looked up at Lin Yifei, who was sitting silently to the side opposite her.
With a flat, emotionless voice, she asked, "Cousin, do you also own a house in Beijing?"
Lin Yifei, puzzled, glanced at her and softly hummed in agreement: "My mother gave me the property deed for the house in Beijing a long time ago."
Li Yaqing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then gave her aunt's things to her cousin.
Did they give her family's belongings to her older brother without her knowledge?
Suddenly, Li Yaqing thought of something and stood up abruptly.
He strode up to Lin Yifei, grabbed his arm, and pulled him up.
Lin Yifei was taken aback by Li Yajing's sudden action and asked in confusion, "Why are you pulling me?"
Li Yajing glared at Lin Yifei through gritted teeth.
He roared, "Why do you think I should do this?"
"Didn't you say that my mom and dad were framed?"
"Didn't you say my dad and mom have no overseas connections?"
"So, you all knew the overseas connections were real, and I was the only one who thought they were fake?"
When Li Yajing mentioned overseas connections, Li's father frowned slightly.
He shouted sternly, "Enough! Ya Jing, your cousin is only doing this for your own good!"
Li Yaqing shook off Lin Yifei's arm and reluctantly turned around to walk step by step to her father and mother.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
"You've all fooled me."
“My cousin lied to me and misled me, making me believe that our family’s overseas connections were framed by Zeng Xiao in order to get revenge on Gu Yihan.”
Lin Yifei was amused by Li Yajing's words and said coldly, "When did I guide you?"
“I only said that my aunt and uncle were framed, but I didn’t say anything else.”
Li Yajing ignored Lin Yifei and instead pointed at her father and mother.
"You are my biological parents, why are you lying to me?"
After saying that, she waved the property deed in her hand.
She demanded sharply, "If our family hadn't been reported, were you planning to keep this from me forever and leave all your assets to my brother?"
Upon hearing this, Li's mother frowned. She hadn't expected Li Yaqing to have such extreme views.
They know nothing and are just making wild guesses.
Li's father was also furious at Li Yaqing's sudden outburst.
He said coldly, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; what makes you think you can take anything from your parents' family?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
After yelling at Li's father, Li's mother turned around and walked to Li Yaqing's side, carefully taking Li Yaqing's hand and leading her to sit down next to Lin Yifei.
Holding her hand tightly, he patiently explained, "Xiaoya, in Mom's heart, you and your brother are the same."
"There's no such thing as giving it to your brother or not giving it to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Yaqing glanced at her mother, withdrew her hand, and said coldly, "You're only saying this now that I've found out."
Seeing that Li Yaqing wouldn't listen, Li's mother rubbed her temples in frustration.
She couldn't understand why her daughter, who was perfectly fine just a moment ago, would suddenly change just because her family were descendants of capitalists.
Lin Yifei glanced at Li Yajing, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
She chuckled and said, "You don't need to make things so difficult for your aunt and uncle. Just tell me your purpose."
Li Yaqing ignored Lin Yifei and just quietly looked at her mother, her eyes showing no emotion.
Father Li realized that his daughter had her eye on what his wife had.
When Li Yaqing looked at her with the eyes of a stranger, Li's mother felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
This is her own daughter, whom she carried for ten months and raised with great care. How could she not love her?
Considering that she had just gotten divorced and had been abused by that old woman from the Chang family, even though she was angry, she couldn't bear to blame her.
She sighed and said, "Xiaoya, Mom promises you, everything your grandmother left behind will be yours."
Li Yaqing finally reacted, glancing at her mother with an expression that said, "I don't believe it."
When Li's mother saw that Li Yaqing really wanted what she had, her heart ached as if it were being pricked by needles.
She turned her head, raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She had been working in the countryside, and even though her palms were worn raw, she hadn't shed a single tear.
This time, however, really hurt Li Yajing, who wiped away her tears.
She said softly, "You'll be coming to Beijing with us tomorrow. I'll give you everything your grandmother left behind."
After saying that, he grabbed the wooden sofa armrest and staggered to his feet.
Mr. Li quickly stepped forward to help Mrs. Li towards the bedroom, glaring fiercely at Li Yaqing before closing the door.
Three days later
Beijing Municipal Family Compound
After finishing dinner, Gu Yihan took a walk around the yard.
Back in the living room, I sat on the sofa with the fan blowing, watching Hao Hao sit on a small stool and write on the wooden coffee table.
After Lu Huailin finished clearing away the dishes, he sat down next to his wife and put his arm around her.
A moment later, Gu Yihan felt a wave of heat around her, and she pushed Lu Huailin away in annoyance.
"In the middle of summer, aren't you hot huddled together like this?!"
Lu Huailin bent down and kissed his wife's cheek, smiling as he said, "As long as I'm with you, I can endure any heat."
Gu Yihan was speechless upon hearing this.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Hearing the knocking, Gu Yihan kicked Lu Huaihong: "Go see who's knocking!"
Lu Huailin smiled and nodded, then walked out.
A moment later, Li Yajing rushed in.
Gu Yihan looked at Li Yaqing in surprise and asked in confusion, "Sister Yaqing, what brings you here?"
Without saying a word, Li Yajing took out two shop deeds from her pocket and handed them to Gu Yihan.
Gu Yihan took it without understanding why, and was stunned for a moment when she saw the name on the shop deed.
She looked up at Li Yaqing and said, "Sister Yaqing, what's wrong with you...?"
Li Yaqing stepped forward and tightly grasped Gu Yihan's hand: "Xiaohan, one of these two property deeds is something my mother asked me to give to you."
One of them was for you.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan quickly stuffed the house deed into Li Yajing's hand and shook her head, saying, "Sister Yajing, I can't accept it."
