Chapter 096 Mostly Pretending
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Li collapsed after hearing what he said: "Even if Xiao Teng is not your son, he was born after ten months of pregnancy!"
"You are just talking nonsense to irritate me, right? How vicious!" Zhang Li didn't believe what Li Rukang said.
When she did the paternity test, she was shocked to find that Li Teng was not Li Rukang's biological child.
Fortunately, she was not sure whether the child was Li Rukang's, so she bribed the people in the hospital early and forged the paternity test report.
Therefore, Zhang Li knew that Li Teng was not Li Rukang's biological child, but she didn't believe that Li Teng was not even his own child.
Obviously, Li Teng's eyebrows and eyes look like hers.
Seeing Zhang Li's emotional breakdown, Li Rukang seemed to have tasted the pleasure of revenge. He clapped his hands and asked someone to bring the person over.
After a while, the housekeeper came in with a man and a woman. The two looked a little reserved. After seeing Zhang Li, they shrank their necks, and their faces were full of guilt.
When Zhang Li saw them, she had a bad feeling.
"Zhang Gui, why are you here?" Zhang Li looked at her brother and sister-in-law.
"Tell me, say what you said before again." Li Rukang said while holding the cane in one hand and sipping tea.
"Sister, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was really confused for a moment!" Zhang Gui actually pulled his wife to kneel in front of Zhang Li and burst into tears.
"What are you sorry for? Explain it clearly, explain it clearly!" Zhang Li guessed the truth but couldn't accept it.
Zhang Gui closed his eyes and didn't dare to say anything. He was afraid that Zhang Li would strangle him to death.
Zhang Gui's wife Wang Xueqin was also a little scared, but she still said, "Sister, we didn't want to do that, but your son died as soon as he was born. We were afraid that you would be sad, so..., that's our son too. I gave him to you to raise, but you raised him into a criminal. I don't blame you."
Wang Xueqin was also afraid of taking the blame, so she blamed Zhang Li while she was talking.
Zhang Li didn't take good care of the baby during her pregnancy, so she didn't take good care of the baby in her belly, and the baby died at birth.
As luck would have it, Wang Xueqin gave birth a few days after Zhang Li. Zhang Gui knew that Zhang Li was a mistress of a wealthy man, and the child might be that man's.
He did not consider whether it was embarrassing or not, and thought that if Zhang Li really gave birth to a child for that man, she would definitely have a high status, and maybe they could also benefit from it.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Li's newborn baby was stillborn. The hospital was afraid that the pregnant woman would have big emotional fluctuations, so they never told her.
Zhang Gui regretted that the wealth that was within his reach was gone, and at the same time he had an idea.
He told Wang Xueqin about it, and Wang Xueqin gave birth to a big fat boy, who was very healthy.
When she heard that Zhang Gui wanted to give the child to Zhang Li to raise, she immediately quarreled with him: "No, absolutely not, I can't bear to give away my son!"
"Are you stupid? Do you know whose child my sister has?" Zhang Gui told her about Zhang Li.
After hearing this, Wang Xueqin frowned and said in disgust: "I didn't know that your sister was a mistress for someone else. I don't want it even more. How can my son be an illegitimate child and not be able to show up in public?"
"Are you stupid? How can the illegitimate children of rich people be the same?" Zhang Gui was completely dazzled by the wealth: "He is an illegitimate child of a rich man, and he lives much better than poor people like us. If my son follows my sister, at least he will never worry about food and clothing. If he follows us, he can't even afford the money for milk powder!"
Wang Xueqin hesitated after hearing this. What she meant was that Zhang Gui was indeed incompetent and the child would suffer if he followed them.
"Besides, when our son becomes capable in the future, maybe he can help us." The more Zhang Gui talked, the more he felt that this was possible.
Even if Wang Xueqin disagreed, he would still find a way to convince her.
"Let me think about it again." Wang Xueqin glanced at the child in her arms, reluctant to give up.
In the end, she agreed.
Over there, Zhang Li didn't know that she had given birth to a dead baby. She kept saying that she would see the child, but she never saw it.
Until Zhang Gui brought a child and said it was hers, Zhang Li didn't doubt it.
As for the nurse, she was fooled by Zhang Gui: "I'm afraid that my sister will collapse and can't accept it. I will use my son to coax her first, and then slowly tell her later."
The nurse didn't have such a big imagination, and didn't guess what Zhang Gui was going to do. Moreover, it was more than 20 years ago, and many regulations were not perfect. They also gave birth to the child in a small hospital, so she was really fooled by Zhang Gui.
As for Zhang Li asking about Zhang Gui's child, Zhang Gui cried and said that the child died at birth.
Zhang Li didn't care, as long as her child was fine.
For so many years, Zhang Li never doubted whether Li Teng was her biological child, but now, he told her that her child died at birth.
"Zhang Gui, Wang Xueqin, you two short-lived ghosts, you actually lied to me like this!" Zhang Li collapsed and screamed.
"You still blame me, if it weren't for my son, relying on the dead baby you gave birth to, do you think you can enjoy so many years of wealth?!" Wang Xueqin was immediately furious when she heard Zhang Li's words: "Your son is the real short-lived ghost, he died at birth!"
"I think, maybe it's because you destroyed other people's families and became a mistress, and you suffered retribution!" Wang Xueqin sneered: "He died at birth, can you blame us? Ridiculous!"
"You...!" Zhang Li was so angry that she trembled all over, but she didn't know how to refute.
"Sister, I also think Xueqin is right. My son has brought you wealth for more than 20 years." Zhang Gui said, "I haven't blamed you for raising my son to be a criminal. If he follows us, even if he suffers a little, it's better than becoming a criminal."
"That's right, it's all your fault. I shouldn't have listened to you!" Wang Xueqin regretted it. After all, he was her son.
Although this son has always looked down on them, she wanted to tell Li Teng several times before that she was his biological mother, but was stopped by Zhang Gui in the end.
Zhang Gui has been secretly instilling in Zhang Li the idea of letting Li Teng control the Li family, and Zhang Li herself has this idea, so Zhang Gui is also dreaming unrealistic dreams and feels that the truth must not be told now.
Otherwise, if Zhang Li knew about it, she would definitely not be willing to help Li Teng get the Li family anymore, and maybe Li Teng couldn't even be Li Rukang's son.
Zhang Gui dreamed that he would tell Li Teng everything after Li Teng became the leader of the Li family. By then, their identities as biological parents would be of maximum use.
However, Zhang Gui did not expect Li Teng to be so useless and to break the law everywhere. In the end, he was handcuffed with silver handcuffs. Zhang Gui was even more unwilling to recognize Li Teng.
He wanted to keep the matter a secret, but he did not expect that the Li family would find out.
Zhang Gui had originally made up his mind not to tell anyone, after all, he used his own son to pretend to be a member of the Li family. He was afraid that Li Rukang would retaliate against him.
However, Li Rukang revealed a lot before he could get a few words from him. Seeing that he could not hide it any longer, he had to tell the truth.
"Boss Li, believe me, the child was indeed dead at the beginning. I was afraid that my sister would be sad, so I replaced him with my own child." In order to evade his responsibility, Zhang Gui made up a good story.
Li Rukang naturally did not believe his lies. Zhang Gui, with greed written all over his face, really thought that others could not see it?
However, he didn't care. After all, he called Zhang Gui here just to let him tell Zhang Li the truth in person.
At this time, Zhang Li had completely collapsed. She rushed directly to Zhang Gui and strangled him by the neck.
I don't know if it was because Zhang Li was angry that she exploded with all her strength. Zhang Gui was strangled by his neck and couldn't break free for a long time.
He could only gasp in pain. Because he couldn't breathe, his eyeballs began to bulge. At this time, he felt the fear of death firsthand.
He realized that Zhang Li really wanted to kill him, so he struggled desperately.
Wang Xueqin ran over and slapped Zhang Li on the side: "Zhang Li, you actually want to kill your own brother, you murderer, let him go, Zhang Li!"
In the end, Li Rukang asked someone to come and pull Zhang Li away. Zhang Li screamed and struggled hard. She was very strong at this time, and two bodyguards could barely restrain her. She screamed and roared with the corner of her mouth: "Let me go! I want to kill this liar, you liar, Zhang Gui, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!"
Zhang Gui was supported by Wang Xueqin and finally slowed down. He looked at Zhang Li with some fear in his eyes, and couldn't help but take a step back with weak legs.
Wang Xueqin cried and complained: "It's all your fault for giving her a bad idea. Now, our son, who was raised by him, is in prison, and she blames us and wants to kill you. It's really unfair!"
"Why are you crying?!" Zhang Gui touched his red and swollen neck impatiently and took a breath of cool air: "Okay, Zhang Li, you are so cruel. I will cut off all ties with her in the future! Besides, isn't he just a son? We are not his only son. There is no need to cry like that."
In Zhang Gui's view, Li Teng going to prison was just a gamble on a life of glory and wealth for him. Li Teng had lived that kind of life for more than 20 years, and it was worth it.
Wang Xueqin pursed her lips and said nothing. She was not as cruel as Zhang Gui, and she still cared about her first son.
"Okay, take her away." Li Rukang waved to his men, "It just so happens that she can't bear to leave her son, so go in and keep her company."
Even if Zhang Li was crazy now, Li Rukang would not let her go. If she plotted against his son, then she should bear the consequences of the plot.
He didn't believe that Zhang Li was really crazy. This woman was smart, maybe she was just taking the opportunity to pretend to be crazy.
Sure enough, when Zhang Li heard that Li Rukang still insisted on calling the police, she was furious: "Li Rukang, you are so cruel, I will curse you, you will not die well!"
After Zhang Li was taken away, the situation was finally much quieter. Zhang Gui glanced at Li Rukang and said something flattering: "My sister is really, she speaks so harshly. Boss Li, you see, our son has been raised by you for so many years, you say, shouldn't there be some... benefits?"
As he said this, Zhang Gui rubbed his fingers shamelessly, his face full of flattery.
Li Rukang glanced at him and almost laughed out of anger. It turned out that Zhang Gui gave his son to him to raise, so he should thank her?
"Zhang Gui, don't think that I am a good person just because I don't settle accounts with you." Li Rukang said faintly, "I dare to give you money, do you dare to take it?"
Zhang Gui met Li Rukang's eyes and shuddered. He immediately laughed stiffly and said, "Boss Li, I'm joking. Hahaha, why would I ask you for money? I'm not that thick-skinned. Haha."
"Boss Li, my wife and I will leave first. We won't disturb you two talking. Haha." Zhang Gui said, and hurriedly slipped away, pulling Wang Xueqin away.
He was afraid that Li Rukang would suddenly cause trouble for them.
After they walked out of the gate of Li's house and made sure that no one heard their conversation, Zhang Gui's face turned cold and he spat at the door: "Bah, his uncle Li Rukang, he is reluctant to give him a little money, just kill him!"
He lowered his head and saw Wang Xueqin wiping her tears. Zhang Gui said impatiently: "What are you doing? Who are you crying for with that expression?"
Wang Xueqin wiped her tears and glared at him: "I feel sorry for our son. If he hadn't been raised by your sister, he wouldn't have gone to prison."
Zhang Gui frowned and looked at Wang Xueqin warily, feeling what she was going to say next.
Sure enough, Wang Xueqin finished speaking and said, "I want to go see our son. I don't know how he is doing in there."
"You are not allowed to go! You treat him as your son, but he might not be willing to recognize you as his mother! Didn't that kid look down on us before?" Zhang Gui immediately said, "You are not allowed to go. If people know that I have a son in prison... I can't afford to lose him!"
"But..."
"No buts. If you are not afraid that our son can't find a wife, then go see him. Let everyone know that I, Zhang Gui, have a rapist son. If they know that our son has a rapist brother, who dares to marry into our family?" Zhang Gui said a bunch of things, and Wang Xueqin finally stopped talking.
At Li's house, Li Guan ate the last orange, wiped his hands, and got up to leave.
Li Rukang, who was standing by, was about to say something, but when he saw that he was about to leave, he immediately said, "Ah Guan, you..."
"What Zhang Li said before..." Li Rukang didn't finish, but his meaning was conveyed, and Li Guan naturally understood.
"Don't think too much." Li Guan said, and before Li Rukang could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard his son continue, "After all, I can't choose who my father is."
Li Rukang tightened his grip on the cane, and watched Li Guan turn around and leave after he finished speaking. In an instant, he seemed to have aged several years.
Maybe when he was messing around outside, not managing the household, not fulfilling the responsibilities of a father, and bringing his illegitimate child home, he should have thought that there would be such a day.
Li Rukang may not be truly regretful, but he is old and can't play anymore, and he began to want to regain the fragmented family affection.
However, it was too late. Li Guan was not a child who could be coaxed. He had been completely disappointed with Li Rukang for a long time. However, he was not only Li Guan, but also the heir of the Li family. There
were some little emotions that should not be shown.
Pang Ziying looked at the man opposite her, who said, "I've already said that we have no relationship in the future."
Li Guan took a sip of coffee, frowned slightly, and said coldly.
Pang Ziying lowered her eyes in disappointment: "I know, I just wanted to come and say sorry to you, I'm leaving."
Li Guan paused and nodded: "Yeah."
"Don't you ask me where I'm going?" Pang Ziying's eyes were sore, and she looked at Li Guan with some sadness.
Li Guan didn't look at her, and seemed to find it a bit boring, and drooped his eyelids: "What's the difference?"
What's the difference? Because I don't care, there is no difference.
Pang Ziying heard the hidden meaning of this sentence and couldn't hold back her tears: "Li Guan, maybe our meeting is a mistake!"
Pang Ziying stood up and left.
Li Guan behind him still had the same expression, he didn't try to keep her, nor did he look at Pang Ziying, he just drank up the coffee in the cup.
Wen Xiuyan was called out by him, his face was black, he was watching TV with Yiqing, if he didn't feel that Li Guan on the phone was a little bit strange, he really didn't want to come.
But after coming, Li Guan didn't say anything, just drank.
Wen Xiuyan glanced at him, poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip: "You asked me to come here just to let me watch you drink alone?"
Li Guan sighed and drank another glass of wine: "I don't know what to say."
He said, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Wen Xiuyan heard this and said nothing more, clinking his glasses with him.
"Pang Ziying told me that she is leaving, which is good." Li Guan said with a smile.
Wen Xiuyan glanced at him: "If you can't bear it, you can tell her."
Li Guan shook his head: "You don't understand, I hate others lying to me the most."
Wen Xiuyan stopped talking. "
Let me put it this way, if Master Tianjiang lied to you..."
"Yiqing must have lied to me for my own good." Wen Xiuyan said as a matter of course.
Li Guan: "..."
He said speechlessly: "I feel like you are in love, can't you see it, Mr. Wen."
Wen Xiuyan didn't care about the mockery in his tone, raised his eyebrows slightly, thought of something, and smiled.
Li Guan simply couldn't bear to watch, he regretted asking Wen Xiuyan to come out, looking at the other party's appearance, he was so angry that his teeth itched, it would be better to drink alone!
At this time, Wen Xiuyan's mobile phone vibrated, he curled his lips: "Yiqing sent me a message as soon as I came out."
Li Guan didn't want to answer, don't think he didn't hear the boasting in Wen Xiuyan's tone.
This guy really doesn't care about his life or death at all.
Wen Xiuyan replied to Jiang Yiqing: "I'm outside, drinking with Li Guan."
Jiang Yiqing reminded him: "Your injury hasn't healed yet."
Wen Xiuyan looked at his arm, which was already moving freely, and said calmly: "Well, I only drank a small cup, I won't drink anymore."
Wen Xiuyan put down the glass and asked for a glass of boiled water.
Li Guan looked strange: "You came to the bar to drink boiled water? Are you kidding?"
"I can't help it, Yiqing won't let me drink it." Wen Xiuyan felt like his tail was flying up to the sky: "He was worried that my injury hadn't healed yet, so he reminded me."
Li Guan: "..."
This life is unbearable!
In the end, Wen Xiuyan was chased away by Li Guan. If this continued, Li Guan felt that he would be angry to death.
Wen Xiuyan checked the time. Well, it was just in time. The play that Yiqing was watching hadn't ended yet.
Wen Xiuyan returned home and saw Jiang Yiqing sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV. He changed his position after a while, as if he was not comfortable sitting anyway.
Hearing the noise, he turned his head and looked over, raising his eyebrows in surprise: "You came back so soon?"
"Yeah." Wen Xiuyan walked over quickly and sat down next to Jiang Yiqing. He looked up at the TV. It happened that the last episode of the TV series had just finished and the ending was playing.
Wen Xiuyan: "..." What kind of TV station is this? Can't they broadcast a few more episodes?
Jiang Yiqing turned off the TV and asked about Li Guan, and Wen Xiuyan told him.
Jiang Yiqing was stunned: "Can I tell you this?"
Wen Xiuyan nodded: "Yes, it's not a secret."
Jiang Yiqing took a big bite of the melon, and finally sighed: "Li Guan is pretty miserable, no wonder he drowns his sorrows in alcohol."
Wen Xiuyan was immediately alarmed, coughed lightly, and pretended to be natural: "Fortunately, it's not that miserable."
Jiang Yiqing turned his head to look at Wen Xiuyan, and then smiled.
Wen Xiuyan was a little confused, what was Yiqing laughing at?
Unfortunately, before he could ask, Jiang Yiqing stood up and went to the bathroom.
Wen Xiuyan: "..."
Think seriously, what's wrong with what you just said.
Fatty hid at the door of the bathroom with disgust, looking at Wen Xiuyan, hey, this cold-faced monster really has ulterior motives for human cubs!
But it doesn't matter, the cold-faced monster is very scared and dare not tell the human cubs at all.
Pang Pang was relieved, and he pulled Nai Qiu and whispered to Wen Xiuyan, who was stunned and dizzy, and finally didn't understand.
Pang Pang: "..."
Sure enough, not everyone has such a high IQ as the Pig King.
However, Pang Pang soon found that he had let down his guard too early. This cold-faced monster was obviously very scheming!
As soon as Jiang Yiqing came out, Wen Xiuyan said, "Yiqing, I only drank a glass of wine."
Pang Pang pricked up his ears: What is this for? Primary school? You have to talk about this specifically.
Jiang Yiqing also looked puzzled. Wen Xiuyan said, "But the smell of alcohol seems a bit strong."
Hearing this, Jiang Yiqing walked to Wen Xiuyan and smelled it, and said puzzledly, "No."
Wen Xiuyan only had a faint smell of alcohol, and it smelled a bit good.
After he finished speaking, Wen Xiuyan laughed and pressed his head. Jiang Yiqing's cheek was pressed against Wen Xiuyan's shoulder, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes like a puzzled little animal.
Wen Xiuyan chuckled and raised his eyebrows slightly, his handsome face with a different flavor: "I'm lying to you, Yiqing is quite easy to fool."
Jiang Yiqing almost laughed in anger, and his head hit Wen Xiuyan in anger: "Wen Xiuyan!"
Wen Xiuyan laughed, and Jiang Yiqing also laughed, taking the opportunity to press Wen Xiuyan on the sofa and rubbed him: "I let you lie to me, look, I'll make you look good!"
Pangpang gritted his teeth watching from the side. This cunning cold-faced monster even hugged the human cub's waist, damn it!
Pangpang completely ignored that Jiang Yiqing was also hugging Wen Xiuyan and rubbing him.
Wen Xiuyan was itchy from being rubbed, and he couldn't help but hug Jiang Yiqing tightly. The latter was caught off guard and was pulled closer, and his cheek was directly pressed against a soft thing. For an instant, the two froze in place.
Wen Xiuyan's fingers were burning and his ears were red. He didn't know how to react for a moment. Jiang Yiqing's mind was full of: Oh my god, Wen Xiuyan's mouth is so soft? ! Wait, is it his mouth? Let me take a look!
The two of them didn't notice at all that Fatty behind them bumped into them directly: Human cub, the pig king is here to save you!
After a while, Jiang Yiqing shouted: "Ah! My waist!"
Fatty: "..."
Holding his head like a pig.gif
Fatty felt that he was doing more harm than good, because Wen Xiuyan finally bought medicinal wine and rubbed Jiang Yiqing's waist.
Fatty: I hate it!
Jiang Yiqing's waist was fine, thanks to Fatty for not using all his strength at the time, so he thought that he should still worry about Wen Xiuyan's arm.
"Your arm hasn't healed after such a long time." Jiang Yiqing looked at Wen Xiuyan's arm with a worried look and said, "Go to the hospital to see if it hasn't healed yet."
Wen Xiuyan, whose arm had healed long ago, said, "..."
Going to the hospital = being found out to be faking it.
