What? !
"Are you kidding me? Has the Cui family gone mad? You are clearly..."
A look of surprise and panic flashed in his eyes, and Shen Yuanfan was about to deny it subconsciously.
“It’s true, brother. I went with them to do a paternity test. I’m not Mom’s daughter. I’m Cui Qianhe’s sister, Cui Enqing’s daughter.”
Jing Li interrupted him with an indifferent expression and a firm tone.
That cold demeanor sent a chill down Shen Yuanfan's spine. After the initial shock, anger surged within him.
"So, are you going to tell me that you plan to abandon your adoptive mother who raised you and go back to being the young lady of the Cui family?"
His tone was full of questioning and disappointment.
He couldn't have any hope for Jing Li, after all, she used to be so materialistic and snobbish.
"Although my mother is not my biological mother, she treats me better than a biological daughter. In the past eighteen years, although we have not been rich, she has never let me suffer a single day."
"Isn't it good to be Mom's little princess? Why go back to the Cui family to be Cinderella? The Cui family won't abandon Cui Xueling, who's just a pretender. Like me, they've treated her like their own daughter for eighteen years. The fact that they're taking me back now suggests they have some unavoidable reason."
Jing Li smiled faintly and gently comforted Shen Yuanfan.
"If I remember correctly, the Cui family patriarch is seriously ill... They want to get more of his inheritance through you?!"
Shen Yuanfan's pupils contracted sharply as he suddenly recalled a news report he had seen not long ago: Old Master Cui, who was recuperating in the United States, was seriously ill and was now only kept alive by money.
He had heard some rumors about the Cui family.
Although the Cui family did not make it public, many prominent families knew that Cui Xueling was not Cui Qianhe's biological daughter.
There were rumors that Cui Xueling was the daughter of the deceased Cui Enqing, but Grandpa Cui never admitted it. He was very indifferent to this granddaughter and even embarrassed her in public.
The fact that the Cui family acknowledged Jing Li at this time is likely because they are after her inheritance.
After figuring it out, Shen Yuanfan's expression was as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.
If they had truly wanted to find Jing Li's whereabouts for the past eighteen years, they wouldn't have waited until now. Their indifference over these eighteen years suggests they've never taken her seriously.
Now that the old man is failing, they are actively trying to reclaim Jing Li. Only they know what they are really up to.
Shen Yuanfan's words made Jing Li raise an eyebrow, and then she revealed a mischievous smile.
Inheritance?
She didn't really care about that little bit of money, but... if she managed to get the inheritance that was rightfully hers, the Cui family would probably be furious.
It would be quite interesting to see that disgusting family of four get their comeuppance.
Of course, the more important thing now is to keep Shen Yuanfan in check; to deal with the Cui family, they need him.
"My feud with Cui Xueling is irreconcilable; it's destined to be a life-or-death struggle. She has the Cui family and her harem as powerful backing, so I'm afraid she won't let me off easily..."
Jing Li gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"She dares to do it, and she's not the only one with backing. Little Koi, you have yours too. You have me, your second brother, and your third brother. Even if it costs us our lives, we won't let them bully you!"
Shen Yuanfan gritted his teeth and said.
He knew that losing the battle was not an option; he knew that for the three brothers to fight against the entire Cui family and the men who admired Cui Xueling with their meager strength was like throwing an egg against a rock.
But Jingyu had done them a great favor, and even if it cost him his life, he would never let these guys bully Little Koi.
