Chapter 127 What a Fantastic Idea
Picking up the child was not a big deal that required going in person, but the stepmother put it before Li Qiao, who had just experienced life and death. Even though Su Minghui didn't know the relationship between the family, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She subconsciously looked at Fu Siwen, and sure enough, Fu Siwen had the same expression as her. It was obvious that the two of them were not suitable to be together.
Then, Su Leyun’s inner voice also rang in his mind: [The child was clearly taken home by the nanny! Besides, Li Qiao’s return to China was decided yesterday. If you were really worried about Li Qiao, you wouldn’t have gone to get a new manicure before bringing the child here! 】
Su Minghui took a look at her stepmother's nails, and they were indeed shiny and sparkling, and it was obvious that they were newly done in the afternoon.
The two children turned on the TV and sat aside to watch cartoons. The stepmother took out a thermos bucket and began to offer gifts: "Here, Auntie brought you some food. You were frightened. Let's drink some chicken soup to replenish our body."
As she was serving chicken soup, she said, "You don't know, once I found out you were kidnapped, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night! Now that you're back safely, I'm finally relieved!"
Father Li was also very satisfied with the scene of loving mother and filial son, and he said, "See? Auntie cares about you so much, why don't you thank her!"
The chicken soup with oily greasy smell was brought to Li Qiao. He almost vomited just by smelling it. He was in poor health at the moment and could not eat such oily food.
He didn't answer, nor did he open his mouth.
The stepmother felt wronged: "Li Qiao, I know you have never liked me, but this chicken soup is for your own good!"
Li's father looked anxious and was ready to teach Li Jiao to respect the elderly and love the young. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Li Jiao's good friend quickly took the bowl of chicken soup from his stepmother and drank it in big gulps.
In the eyes of everyone's surprise, he explained: "Li Qiao doesn't like to eat chicken, he thinks it smells fishy, and he is allergic to the ginkgo in the soup, so he can't even touch it. I thanked the aunt for her kindness on his behalf."
[It's obvious that he deliberately wanted to make Li Jiao allergic, and he said it so nicely. It turns out that life is like a play, and it all depends on your acting skills! The stepmother in Snow White is not as bad as this one! 】
Listening to Su Leyun's thoughts, Su Minghui roughly understood the relationship between this family, and her confusion was reduced a lot.
Seeing her plan fail, the stepmother clenched her fists, but still smiled: "Oh, how could I forget about this? I was just busy making soup for Li Qiao!"
Father Li was so careless that he actually let him get away with it.
Seeing her successful performance, the stepmother felt a little proud. She looked at the children present and started to make plans in her mind.
Chu Yanxiao is a member of the Chu family, and even Li's father can't afford to offend him. The other child has little presence in her eyes, and soon, her target is locked on Su Leyun.
She looked at Su Minghui and said, "I didn't say that I didn't agree with our Li Qiao following your Su Leyun out. I said at the time that Country Y was not safe, but it was a pity that you didn't listen to me! If you had listened to me, this wouldn't have happened."
"It's really pitiful for our Li Qiao. He has suffered this kind of hardship for no reason. It really makes me sad!"
As she spoke, tears welled up in Li Jiao's stepmother's eyes, as if she was moved by herself. Li's father also had a look of deep sorrow on his face, and it was obvious that he agreed with what his stepmother said.
Su Leyun didn't feel angry at all. Instead, he smiled a little. Sometimes he really admired the logic of humans biting back.
Su Minghui's expression changed instantly, and she said without losing face: "You can't say that. We all discussed where to go. Why do you blame my Lele for the problem?"
Chu Yanxiao also protected Su Leyun: "If it weren't for Lele, Li Qiao would still be nowhere to be found. Auntie, you blame Lele so much, are you blaming him for rescuing Li Qiao back to the country?"
The stepmother's hypocritical smile froze for a moment, but soon recovered: "How could Young Master Chu think so? I have always regarded Li Qiao as my own son. You saved him, and of course I am grateful to you!"
Li Qiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Auntie, you answered the kidnapper's call, didn't you? Is our family so poor that we can't even raise 10 million yuan? Even if we don't have that much cash right now, we should still be able to raise it."
The stepmother's face turned pale with guilt, and Li's father was also surprised: "The kidnappers called our house? How come I didn't know? What happened?"
Chu Yanxiao sneered: "We all knew about Li Qiao's kidnapping through Auntie, but what did Auntie say?"
He pretended not to remember, and Su Leyun played along with him: "Auntie said that the family couldn't raise so much money in a short time, so she asked us to call the police. I don't know why, but the police were also very perfunctory, as if someone had specifically instructed us to do so."
As Su Leyun spoke, he looked at his stepmother with a smile, and almost pointed at her and said that she was bribed by him. The stepmother began to regret being sarcastic to Su Leyun just now.
Li Qiao's friend also took the opportunity to complain: "I called you many times that morning, but no one answered. Later, I couldn't get through."
Father Li was also a smart man. He understood everything after recalling what they said: "I was wondering why my phone suddenly turned off? It turned out to be you! Li Qiao is also my son. How could you be so vicious when it comes to matters of life and death?"
Faced with the accusations from Li's father, the stepmother wanted to deny it at first, but when it came to a matter concerning his son's life, Li's father was obviously not so easily fooled and he simply refused to listen to her explanation.
Seeing that she could no longer conceal her feelings, she broke down and pushed Father Li away, yelling hysterically, "He is your son, not my son!"
"Whenever I see him, I'll think of your nasty ex-wife and how she treated me. How can I be nice to him? You're really daydreaming!"
The stepmother was a mistress. Li Jiao was fine at the time because the two women were fighting each other. But Li Jiao's mother was the principal wife after all and had the moral advantage. So she often taught her stepmother a lesson unilaterally. It was not until she died of poor health that she had the opportunity to marry into the Li family.
"And don't think I don't know that you've already made a will. Half of your money should be given to him! Why should I work so hard to serve an old man like you, and he gets all the money?!"
Father Li is a male chauvinist. Although he doesn't care much about Li Qiao, in his heart, he is his first son. So when writing his will, he was more biased towards him. He didn't expect that she would peek at it.
