Chapter 281 Persecuting the Innocent
But before Xiao Da and Xiao Er even made their trip, Li Sheng'er followed her father home with trepidation.
Inside the main room, Li's father sat imposingly, while Li Sheng'er stood there silently.
Li's mother had just returned from chatting outside and was surprised to see the father and daughter: "Old Li?"
Mr. Li looked at Mrs. Li and said, "You've raised a good daughter!"
"What do you mean I raised a good daughter? Oh, isn't she your daughter too? What's with that look on your face? Has someone been saying bad things about our daughter? You've wronged her all these years, and now you're lecturing her? How dare you! Sheng'er, come here to Mom, don't worry about Dad!"
"Mom..." Li Sheng'er called out softly to her mother, her voice filled with grievance, which broke her mother's heart.
"Don't get involved in this!"
"What do you mean I don't care? I'd like to see you disciplining your daughter. You've grown up, don't think you can be just as capable at home as you are outside. I won't tolerate you!" As Li Ma spoke, she pulled her daughter in front of her and looked her up and down. Especially when she saw the tears in her daughter's eyes, her heart ached even more.
"mom."
"Don't be afraid, Mom's here. Your dad won't dare!"
"mom."
"It's alright, it's alright, don't be afraid, your dad is just a paper tiger."
"mom."
"Mmm, good girl."
"Shut up, all of you!" A furious shout rose from the ground, accompanied by the crisp sound of a teacup shattering.
Li's mother looked at Old Li in disbelief. Old Li, who was always serious but never lost his temper, had actually smashed a cup, and the way he looked at the mother and daughter seemed like he wanted to devour them.
Li Ma shuddered instantly.
She dared to argue with Mr. Li because she knew his temperament. After so many years of marriage, he naturally knew how to resolve conflicts between his daughter and Mr. Li, especially since he hadn't made a mistake all these years. She just hadn't expected things to be different this time.
Li's mother couldn't help but grab her daughter's arm tightly.
She can act with impunity because Old Li doesn't hold it against her.
But the situation before me...
"You've really raised a good daughter. If I hadn't seen and heard it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that your daughter could act so arrogantly outside. Who does she think she is? What is he? Threatening people whenever she wants, manipulating whomever she wants? Does she think she can fly to the moon? Li Sheng'er, kneel down before me!"
Li Sheng'er snuggled into her mother's arms.
"You're not going to listen to me anymore, are you? I'll make you kneel down!"
"Old Li..."
"If you continue to side with her, you can go back to your parents' home today!"
Li Ma immediately fell silent and could only gesture for her daughter to kneel down.
"Mom," Li Sheng'er said, frightened.
Li's mother patted her daughter on the shoulder.
Li Sheng'er could only kneel on the ground in fear.
Looking at his daughter, Li's father was truly surprised that she was so well-behaved in front of him, but acted differently in front of outsiders. He wondered if she had been like this in many places before.
Mr. Li couldn't help but wonder, where else could his daughter have bullied him but hadn't dared to make a scene in front of him?
"Speak! What other outrageous things have you done! Tell me everything clearly! Otherwise, once I find out, you won't be my daughter anymore!"
"Old Li, your daughter is so well-behaved, how could she do anything outrageous? You must have misheard. Is someone gossiping in your ear? It's all baseless."
Mr. Li gave Mrs. Li a deep look.
Li Ma was quick-witted and immediately dared not speak again.
"You can say that I can still deal with you again now, but if I find out, I've already said that you don't have to be my daughter anymore!"
"dad……"
"explain!"
"No, that's all, just this once."
Are you sure?
"Dad, it's really over. I just... I just really liked that person. I didn't mean to. I just had a moment of madness. Really, this is the first time I've ever done something like this in my life. Dad, I won't do it again. I'll never do it again."
Li's mother watched anxiously from the side, wanting to ask what was wrong, but neither the father nor the daughter said anything.
Mr. Li looked intently at his daughter.
Seriously, it looks like she's suffered a lot of injustice.
He couldn't help but think of his arrogant and domineering daughter from back then.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
He spent his days hunting geese but never imagined that one day a goose would peck at his eye.
"Are there really none left?" Mr. Li asked again.
"No, really, there aren't any left."
"Um."
Li Sheng'er breathed a sigh of relief. So it's over now?
Her current father is a complete stranger to her.
Although we didn't see each other often before, she was always very gentle when I saw her daughter. Even when she was serious, it was always because someone came to see her.
But, does Dad know that Xiao Peichuan?
Before Li Sheng'er could continue thinking, her father had already sent his assistant over.
"Go and investigate what my daughter has done all these years. Investigate thoroughly, don't miss a single detail!"
"dad!"
"I've said it before, you only get one chance. If you really haven't done anything wrong, I'll consider this your act of willfulness, but you still need to apologize to them. However, if you've done something else, Li Sheng'er, I, Li Guoqiang, am not the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong!" With a wave of his hand, Li's father instructed his assistant to investigate.
"No, we can't go." Li Sheng'er didn't care about anything else this time and quickly grabbed her assistant's leg.
The assistant was a little embarrassed; after all, Li Sheng'er was still a young woman.
"Let go!" Li's father's face was very ugly.
"Dad, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"You're wrong? What are you wrong about? I'm the one who's wrong. I thought I was raising a pet, but I ended up raising a wolf, no, a venomous snake! In all my generations of the Li family, there has never been anyone more venomous than you!"
These words were so vicious that Li Sheng'er stood there stunned, and even Li's mother trembled.
The father said his daughter was vicious, which was a terrible reputation for her, and Li Ma couldn't accept it.
"Li Guoqiang!"
"Do you know what your daughter did? This young girl chased after another girl's boyfriend and ruined her chance to pursue her studies. What a shrewd person she is! She even learned to threaten others and use her connections. When I was her age, I didn't have this kind of ability. I knew that harming others would bring divine retribution!"
"No, it's impossible."
"Impossible? How could it be impossible when I saw it with my own eyes?"
“But this is our daughter, she is our only child.”
"I'd rather not have this child!"
"Li Guoqiang, you promised to make my daughter and me happy for the rest of our lives, and this is what you owe us!"
"Yes, I did owe you something in the past, but that's my own business. I didn't let you use your current status and background to coerce innocent people!"
"But she's our daughter! Our daughter should be a darling of heaven. She's just an insignificant little girl. It's her good fortune that she's interested in her boyfriend!"
Li Guoqiang looked at his wife: "So that's what you think?"
"Yes, that's what I think. We only have one daughter, and everything belongs to her. She can be arrogant because she has the right to be; it's what we old folks fought for her! Li Guoqiang, you've ignored your daughter for so many years, and now you want to care? Do you even have the right?"
Li Guoqiang just stared at Li's mother like that.
