Chapter 64 Your Retribution Is Me
Li Fengxian was the first to react, and asked as the host, "What happened?"
Li Zhanyan hurried forward and briefly explained what happened to him. Li Fengxian's face darkened slightly and he said in a cold voice: "This is not the place to discuss this. Let's go to the second floor first. Zhaoyang, you stay and greet the guests."
Li Zhaoyang, who was squeezed out by his elders because of his low seniority and forced to stay outside the encirclement: “…” No, I want to go up and listen too!
Zhang Wanyin still remembered that Li Zhanyan had just mentioned that Du Anrao and the other two were invited by Li Zhaoyang himself, and wanted to ask him to go upstairs with her, but was stopped by Li Zhanyan again.
Zhang Wanyin frowned. Although she was somewhat puzzled by the other party's behavior, the tacit understanding they had developed over the years made her swallow the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.
The relatives had no objections, so Li Fengxian turned his attention to Du Yuxi and the others: "Can you two ladies come with us?"
Du Yuxi turned to look at Du Anrao inquiringly, and Du Anrao quickly raised his hand to say, "I can do either."
Du Yuxi also nodded.
Li Fengxian breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, and arranged for a few people to help Li Zhaoyang entertain the guests, and then led everyone upstairs.
As soon as she entered the study, Zhang Wanyin couldn't wait to ask, "Can you two tell us in detail about the mistaken baby? We...we are really curious."
No matter how curious she was, it was somewhat rude to make such a request to someone she had just met for the first time. Du Yuxi looked at Du Anrao again for advice.
Duanrao didn't care. It was not something shameful.
Strictly speaking, she and Du Yuxi were both victims, and the only immediate beneficiary was...
Du Anrao glanced at Li Qianxi who followed in silently behind everyone, and finally handed the decision to Du Yuxi.
Du Yuxi naturally noticed Li Qianxi's existence, but compared to Li Fengxian and others, she didn't care much about this stranger who had no blood relationship with her.
"I can tell you, but I want to know why."
"This..." Several people looked at each other, hesitant.
Zhang Wanyin, however, was impatient: "Because my sister, the one who looks very similar to you, also gave birth to a child in XX Hospital in Y Province at that time."
Du Yuxi pretended to be surprised when she heard this: "So, you think I'm your child now?"
Su Ruiyin and the others did not speak, but Li Fengxian suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Qianxi: "What do you think..."
After the initial fluster, Li Qianxi had completely calmed down. She thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you both in good health?"
"certainly."
Li Qianxi immediately lowered her head and smiled sadly: "I don't know why this lady looks so much like her mother, but they are both very healthy. I was not like me who was sentenced to death at birth. I have this disease and have to deal with hospitals all my life."
Li Qianxi's words were intended to remind everyone present that Du Anrao and Du Yuxi were both very healthy, and it was normal for them to switch without being discovered.
But she was born with a congenital heart disease. How could it go unnoticed if a sick child was exchanged for a healthy one?
Madam Li and the others froze for a moment, apparently realizing this only just now.
Only Duanrao, who had the script in his hand, saw through her thoughts at a glance.
[Great! You reacted so quickly. I guess you must have rehearsed this scene in your mind after knowing the truth. What a pity that you met me. Everything has its consequences, and I am your retribution!]
The Du family members and Xi Jingyue who had already moved to the next floor and were secretly eating melons in the next room said: Poof...
This does sound like a logical flaw. It would be easy to be discovered if a healthy child was swapped with a child like Li Qianxi who had a congenital disease. But it seemed that even God was helping the mother and daughter.
The medical system back then was not as sophisticated and advanced as it is now. In addition, due to many car accidents caused by natural disasters, hospitals were overcrowded and the medical system was on the verge of collapse.
At that time, the only person who knew about Li Qianxi's condition was the doctor in charge of the baby's examination. When Wang Xuehe took the child to see him, she happened to run into him having a disciplinary problem of secretly accepting red envelopes and kickbacks.
The Du family: “…” This girl is the chosen one, it’s just too much of a coincidence!
The result is predictable. Wang Xuehe used this as a threat and forced the other party to modify the storage information of Li Qianxi and Du Yuxi.
[This doctor died of illness six years ago. Li Qianxi probably knew this a long time ago, so she deliberately brought it up at this time, betting on the fact that there would be no evidence.]
Du Anrao was not wrong in his guess. After Li Qianxi learned the truth a year ago, she paid her biological father to help confirm a lot of things. She also erased many traces left by Wang Xuehe in advance, knowing that the doctor had long passed away.
Zhang Wanyin was not so easily convinced: "There are so many strange things in this world. Sometimes the things that seem the most impossible are the most likely to happen."
Li Qianxi hated her aunt who had always looked down upon her, but she still looked pitiful and said, "If my aunt thinks so, I can't do anything about it. I just expressed my thoughts. It's up to the elders to decide how to tell. After all, I was just a child at that time. What could I know?"
Zhang Wanyin choked up. Actually, her initial impression of Li Qianxi wasn't that bad.
Later, when he came to visit her at the Li family, he ran into Li Qianxi hiding behind Li Zhaoyang, softly and tenderly telling her about the "little conflict" between herself and the daughter of another old friend.
Although the whole paragraph sounded fine, Zhang Wanyin got goose bumps all over her body.
Especially after seeing the girl who was being denounced being driven away in anger, Li Qianxi, hiding behind Li Zhaoyang, suddenly revealed a strange smile with a dark and damp atmosphere.
Mrs. Su, whose radar for identifying bitches was at its highest level, was startled and instantly figured out what was going on. But she was also worried that she was too sensitive and had wronged the child, so she observed Li Qianxi even more carefully afterwards.
After several attempts, it was finally confirmed that the child was grown crooked!
Li Qianxi was only six years old at the time. Zhang Wanyin naturally thought that the Li family had not taught her well, and even began to doubt the character of the Li family.
But after long-term contact, Zhang Wanyin changed her mind again and realized that it was entirely her own fault that the child grew up like this.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhang Wanyin becomes more and more resistant to Li Qianxi's existence.
The girl who almost grew up in his eyes was young, beautiful, bright and generous, just like a shining little sun. Once you see her, you will never forget her.
How could a person like that give birth to such a pretentious child who likes to do tricks behind the scenes?
