Chapter 49 She Never Changed
Duanrao had just finished speaking when a new transfer message popped up on his phone.
But this time the transfer came from Xi Jingyue.
"Mr. Xi?"
"My cousin asked me to forward this. Thank you Miss Du for your help today."
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Zhaoyang turned around and looked over with a smile, "Just when I was about to forward it, I realized that I don't have Master Du's contact information. Do you think I would have the honor to add him?"
Du Anrao felt obliged to take advantage of the situation, so he looked at his fourth sister again and took out his cell phone to scan Li Zhaoyang.
Li Zhaoyang wanted to add Du Yuxi, but the other party turned her head away first, and it was obvious that she didn't want to pay attention to him.
Li Zhaoyang had no choice but to comfort himself that at least Duanrao was added.
Through today's interactions, he could also see that his cousin was very close to the newly adopted Miss Du.
Getting Duanrao's contact information is a step closer to her.
It was already late at night when he sent the two sisters back safely under Du Hexuan's gaze that was about to explode.
Li Zhaoyang wanted to get along well with the brother who raised Du Yuxi, but before he could finish his words, he was rejected by the slam of the door in his face.
Li Zhaoyang touched his nose, which was almost flattened, with lingering fear, and said awkwardly: "This brother from the Du family doesn't seem to have a very good impression of us."
Xi Jingyue glanced at him and said, "It's not us, it's me."
"Huh?" Li Zhaoyang was so surprised that his eyes almost turned into cross-eyed. "You? Cousin, what did you do to our little boy? Why did his brother become so wary of you?"
Xi Jingyue sneered: "Your Xiaoer? Has he admitted it? Your Xiaoer?"
The young master Li lost his fighting spirit instantly after being hit. Thinking of Du Yuxi's cold attitude towards him today, he wanted to cry but couldn't. "Did I behave badly today? Why didn't she pay any attention to me?"
"You just realized it?" Xi Jingyue mercilessly mocked his stupid brother, "What do you think about what happened today?"
"What's the matter? Is it about the Ye family and Qianxi?" Li Zhaoyang sighed. He had been very calm the whole day, but only at this moment did he dare to show a bit of vulnerability in front of Xi Jingyue.
"I used to hear my mother say how pitiful my cousin was. Her second uncle and second aunt died when she was just born, and she got a disease so she couldn't run, jump, or laugh like normal people. So Yuesheng and I, as her older brother and sister, had to give in to her and protect her in everything."
"But I never thought that the person we spoiled and indulged would become like this one day. Maybe our family really spoiled her."
Xi Jingyue frowned and disagreed with Li Zhaoyang's statement: "Don't blame yourself for other people's mistakes. Didn't Madam Ye just say that everyone with eyes can see how you, your aunt, uncle and Yue Sheng have treated her over the years. Your family has never done her a single cent wrong. Instead, she..."
Thinking of what he heard today, Xi Jingyue's face became uglier: "If she had any feelings or gratitude towards you, she wouldn't have said such words to Ye Zhihuan for her own selfish desires, and wouldn't have done such things to Yue Sheng and Miss Du."
When Li Zhaoyang heard Xi Jingyue mention his two younger sisters, his originally wavering heart instantly became as solid as a rock.
When Li Zhaoyang first learned that Li Qianxi was not his biological cousin, he was undoubtedly in pain and resistance.
What supported him in finding out the truth was his second uncle and second aunt who loved him dearly in his memory. He couldn't let his real cousin be stranded outside and let his second uncle and second aunt rest in peace in the grave.
But when he investigated further, he found out that what was even more devastating was yet to come. It turned out that Li Qianxi had learned the truth from her biological father a year ago, and had begun to consciously target Du Yuxi, who had exchanged identities with her.
No wonder his cousin asked him not to tell his parents about this first. Li Qianxi did it covertly and didn't leave many traces. Once he alerted the enemy, he wouldn't be able to hold her accountable and find out the truth. Instead, Du Yuxi, who was in an awkward position, would be blamed.
But this was not the most chilling thing. What made Li Zhaoyang completely disappointed in her was that when he was investigating Li Qianxi's actions against Du Yuxi, he unexpectedly discovered that the kidnapping and near-murder of Yue Sheng five years ago was actually related to her!
"I can understand why she targeted Yuxi and secretly suppressed her. After all, she has been the daughter of the Li family for so many years. She would not be able to accept being told that she is a fake. It makes sense that she wanted to make her disappear from the world and replace her. But why did she attack Yuesheng?"
"She actively induced the kidnappers to kidnap her, and even deliberately found someone to tell the kidnappers that our family had called the police, hoping that those desperate criminals would be angry and kill her. How old was she five years ago? She is so scheming, is she still a human being?"
To this day, Li Zhaoyang still cannot control his emotions when talking about this. He can't understand why Li Qianxi hates his sister so much, to the point that she wants to take her life.
From childhood to adulthood, Yue Sheng had the best relationship with her. He gave her all the good things and thought of her so much that even her biological brother had to stand aside. However, all his sincerity and favoritism were exchanged for such a knife.
Xi Jingyue had no feelings for Li Qianxi, and even felt disgusted with Li Zhaoyang's family towards her. As an outsider, he could see through her true nature at a glance.
"No matter how favored the second daughter of the Li family is, she is not as precious as the only daughter of the Li family."
Li Zhaoyang was stunned: "Just because of this?"
"Isn't this reason sufficient? Why do you think she wanted to deal with Du Yuxi? From this incident, we can see that she has never changed. She is selfish, ruthless, and will take action against anyone who stands in her way or harms her interests. Today it's Yuesheng and Yuxi, and tomorrow it will be you, your aunt, and your uncle."
Xi Jingyue's words were not groundless. After all, he had already seen through Du Anrao's description that Li Zhaoyang would be sniped and plundered in the future.
Although it is unfair to convict people today based on things that will happen in the future, what Li Zhaoyang has found out now just provides evidence for those things in the future. Just as Xi Jingyue said just now, she has never changed, it's just that they have never seen it clearly.
Li Zhaoyang knew this very well, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He huddled to one side listlessly, keeping to himself.
Xi Jingyue couldn't bear to see him like this, and said with disgust: "Okay, stop pretending to be dead. It's not the first day you know these things. Now tell me about your story."
"My business? What's my business?"
"Have you ever been in love?"
When Li Zhaoyang heard this, he no longer cared about Li Qianxi. He jumped up on the spot and almost hit the rear roof of the car.
“Brother, brother, brother…what are you doing…I, I…”
When Xi Jingyue saw his useless look, he knew that what Duanrao said was probably true, and he immediately rolled his eyes at him: "Are you laying eggs? Why are you screaming so loudly?"
Li Zhaoyang: “…”
