Chen Mei suddenly raised her head, and a glimmer of light appeared in her dull eyes.
"Lanlan, Lanlan." She grabbed the microphone and shouted.
Li Zhenting put the microphone next to Lanlan's ear.
It was not until Chen Mei called Lanlan's name several times that Lanlan came to her senses from the shock. She was sure that this was her mother and was no longer afraid.
"Mommy, I miss you." She finally opened her voice and shouted, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
"Lanlan, my daughter, Mommy misses you too, and Mommy is sorry." In prison, Lanlan was her only thought, and she burst into tears.
After studying and teaching in prison, she has regretted it.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Li Zhenting looked at her coldly.
She kept saying something to Lanlan on the phone. It was obvious that she had become much more honest and pragmatic at this time. After all, this was the last time she saw her daughter.
As the saying goes, when a man is about to die, his words are good.
Could it be that this evil woman had a glimmer of humanity before she died?
After a while, Lanlan handed him the phone: "Daddy, Mommy has something to tell you."
Li Zhenting took the microphone.
"Boss Li, I leave Lanlan to you. I beg you to treat her well in the future." As soon as Li Zhenting picked up the phone, Chen Mei pleaded.
Li Zhenting didn't say anything, staring at her with his sharp eyes.
"Boss Li, I know I'm sorry for you and Chen Ning. Please, help me take good care of Lanlan.
I can only entrust her to you. Please, for the sake of our acquaintance, take good care of the child as she is still young." Chen Mei burst into tears.
Li Zhenting was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Chen Mei, is this what you want to say to me? Lanlan is my daughter. Even if you don't delay paying me, I also have the responsibility and business to take care of her."
He looked at her calmly.
Shen Mei's eyes were a little evasive, and the hand holding the microphone was shaking.
Li Zhenting's eyes became more gloomy and fierce.
Chen Mei hesitated to speak for several times. It seemed that she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
A hint of coldness appeared at the corner of Li Zhenting's lips.
He thought she would tell him the secret before she died, but she didn't. This woman was planning to lie to him for the rest of her life. How hateful!
"Chen Mei, I only have one question for you now. I hope you can answer me truthfully. If you answer well, I will consider it." Li Zhenting said coldly.
If Chen Mei could honestly tell him Lan Lan's identity, he would consider continuing to adopt Lan Lan. After all, he had raised her until she was six years old. The Li family was not short of money, so it was easy to raise a daughter.
"Please speak." Chen Mei spoke immediately, her voice trembling. She seemed to already know what Li Zhenting was going to ask.
"Is Lanlan my daughter?" Li Zhenting's voice was deafening.
"Ah." Chen Mei's hand trembled and the microphone fell down. Then, she quickly picked up the phone again.
"Chen Mei, if you still don't have any sincerity, let me tell you, I won't care about Lan Lan anymore." Li Zhenting said in a stern tone.
"Boss Li, I... no, Lanlan is not, she." Chen Mei burst into tears and spoke incoherently.
"Hurry up and tell me, the visiting time is running out." Li Zhenting warned.
"No, Zhenting, Lanlan is not your daughter." Chen Mei answered hurriedly and loudly. Since Li Zhenting could ask this, he must have done a paternity test.
"Who is her biological father?" Li Zhenting's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Akang, that's the Akang who was imprisoned with Liang Ruqi last time." Once the truth was told, Shen Mei didn't want to hide it anymore and just told the truth.
Next, she recounted the whole story.
"Zhen Ting, although I was obsessed with becoming the young mistress of the Li family at that time, I also loved you. I admit that I did it for personal gain, but I also loved you sincerely. It's just that I was accidentally deceived by Akang." Chen Mei begged bitterly with tears, "Although Lanlan is not your biological daughter, she grew up in the Li family since she was a child. She has long regarded you as her biological father and is completely attached to you. Even if you raise a cat or a dog, you will have feelings for you, right? I beg you, don't abandon her, raise her, and don't tell her this unfortunate news. In this life, she is most proud of having you as her father. If she loses you, I am worried that the child will not be able to bear it. After all, she is only six years old."
"Boss Li, the Li family has plenty of money, so raising a daughter isn't difficult. Just think of it as a good deed. I'll thank you over there and bless the Li Group for generations to come."
"Boss Li, there's no hope for Akang in this life. He was later implicated in another case and his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. Even if he gets out, his life will be ruined. You are Lanlan's only relative in this world. You must not abandon her."
…
Chen Mei was crying and talking miserably there.
Li Zhenting had a gloomy face and glanced at Lanlan beside him. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she only knew that her mother was in pain.
What Mommy told her the most today was to be a good child, an honest person, study hard, contribute to society when she grows up, and become an upright and kind person.
Finally, she told her that she must please Aunt Shen Ning, listen to her, and stay with Li Zhenting. She must not leave the Li family in anger and must stay with the Li family closely.
Although she was still young and did not understand the meaning of these words, she also understood some truths, that is, people must walk the right path, otherwise, they will be put in prison like her mother.
