Chapter 466: A Question for Which the Correct Answer Will Never Be Found
"You're talking about justice," Ke Nai snorted, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Isn't An Ran innocent? She could have grown up in a loving family, but you swapped her for the cold and scheming Lu family."
Duan Xi was silent.
To be honest, she didn't feel too much guilt towards the Meng family. After all, she stole a child and gave the Meng family a child in return.
If Lu Qingcheng's willful, capricious and petty character was swapped with Meng Anran's excellence, composure and calmness, would the Meng family still be so happy to welcome Meng Anran home?
Will you still blame her for exchanging your own daughter?
It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, and this cannot be changed even in the face of blood ties.
But she had to admit that she was indeed ashamed of Meng Anran.
If it weren't for the "Substitute Prince" incident, as Conai said, Meng Anran could have grown up in a loving family.
"Perhaps a person's fate is determined from the day they are born." Meng Anran gently patted Kenai's arm, indicating that there was no need to feel unfair for her. "It's good the way it is now. I have wealth, power, friends, and love because I was born into the Lu family."
Perhaps if she was born in a dream family, she would have very good friends, meet a lover who understands her, and even grow up surrounded by the love of her family.
But now that we have reached this point in life, there is no need to look back and make unrealistic assumptions.
At least she is very satisfied with everything she has now, so she never regrets her past experiences.
"The medical dispute was planned by Bai Yujin. Since you were not aware of it, it cannot be blamed on you." Meng Anran had clear thoughts and looked at Duan Xi with clear eyes.
"We're here today mainly because we have some speculation about the inside story of the medical dispute, so we came to ask if you've heard anything from Bai Yujin."
Duan Xi looked calm. "I've already told you everything I know. Do you have any other questions? As long as I know some clues, I will definitely not hide them."
"There is indeed a question." Meng Anran rummaged through her purse, pulled out a photo, and handed it to Duan Xi. "Do you know this woman?"
The shackles clanged against the table. Duan Xi narrowed his eyes and carefully identified the person in the photo through the transparent plate.
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know him. There is no such person in Qinghe Club."
Meng Anran exchanged glances with Kenai and acknowledged that Duan Xi was not lying.
"Okay." Meng Anran put Lin Yan's photo back into her handbag and stared at Duan Xi. "Let me ask you one last question - who is Lu Qingcheng's biological mother?"
Duan Xi's pupils suddenly shrank, as if she suddenly realized that there was a psychologist sitting opposite her. She quickly lowered her head, trying to hide her micro-expression.
"Dead." She said, her voice trembling slightly, "She died of complications during childbirth when she gave birth to Lu Qingcheng."
Meng Anran's peach blossom eyes were like a magic mirror, as if they could see through all of Duan Xi's disguises. She was very sure that Duan Xi was lying this time.
She pulled another photo from her bag. "Is that her?"
…
When walking out of the prison gate, the sunlight was shining from above, making Meng Anran squint subconsciously.
She took out her sunglasses from her bag and put them on, her red lips curved into a wanton arc. "Doctor Ke, should I congratulate you on your recovery?"
Kona pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and a smile appeared on his gentle face, as if hiding some bitterness, but also as if he was relieved.
After finding out the cause of his parents and sister's death, he was finally able to free himself from the nightmare of self-blame. It was more like a new life than a recovery.
With all his family members gone, he lives in this world like a lonely boat that cannot reach the shore.
But today the sky is blue, the white clouds are leisurely, the sun is bright, and even the breeze carries the scent of freedom.
He wanted to take another good look at the world for his parents and sister.
“I’ve decided not to study human nature anymore,” he said. “Human nature is incredibly complex, and it’s a subject for which there will never be a correct answer.”
"Then what do you want to study?" Meng Anran asked.
Kenai looked up at the blue sky, "Love."
Meng Anran smiled and said, "This is also an eternal topic."
“But it’s more real than human nature.”
"Really?" Meng Anran raised her eyebrows meaningfully, "That's not necessarily true."
Kona glanced at her, and they both smiled at the same time.
Sitting in the silver supercar, Meng Anran stepped on the accelerator and drove to Yandu Hotel. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. No matter what, you should fill your stomach first.
Kenai rummaged through his briefcase, pulled out a notebook, and opened it. It recorded the conversation he had just had with Duan Xi.
Meng Anran glanced at him and teased, "It's a waste for you not to become a lawyer. Your every word and action can be recorded and used as evidence in court."
Konai didn't respond, but glanced through the conversation record and suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Bai Yujin said that it was because of you, Lu Heng, and Lu Yi that they orchestrated the Lu Group's bankruptcy?"
"I don't know. Maybe this is just Bai Yujin's imagination." Meng Anran shrugged and looked straight at the road ahead.
"Do you remember the last time you came with me to see Bai Yujin, she said she wanted me as a test subject because I betrayed Lu Heng. But the truth is, when she first drugged me, I was just a little kid, so 'betrayal' had nothing to do with it."
Bai Yujin is mentally ill. Who can tell which of his words are true and which are false?
Kenai nodded thoughtfully, quickly linking the drugging incident to another incident. "Lu Heng told me that when he was young, the Lu family's servants were replaced every year. This practice was not abolished until you were born."
"Yes, the annual rotation requirement meant that Lu Heng never developed deep feelings for anyone since he was a child, which led to his cold and withdrawn personality."
"The Lu family originally wanted to train a successor who would not be sentimental. As Lu Heng grew up, Bai Yujin discovered that his features were somewhat similar to Lin Zhengru's, so she began to care about her eldest son," Konai analyzed.
Meng Anran nodded in agreement and continued, "So she transferred her obsession with Lin Zhengru to Lu Heng."
"That's not all." Kenai closed his notebook, his eyes darkening. "After she discovered Lu Heng had developed feelings for you, Bai Yujin decided to get rid of you, her non-blood-related 'daughter,' so she drugged your food. Unfortunately, Lu Heng discovered her plan in time, and it was thwarted."
Meng Anran frowned slightly, she had not thought of this.
Bai Yujin secretly poured her unrequited love for Lin Zhengru into Lu Heng. In her eyes, Lin Zhengru betrayed her because he didn't love her.
She would not allow Lu Heng, who was cold to everyone, to develop feelings for someone other than her, so she wanted to use her daughter, who had no blood relationship with her, as an experimental subject.
Turn her into a monster like Lu Yi, whom Lu Heng hates.
