Chapter 299 Xiao Chenghai's Tears Came Suddenly [22]
Li Zhiyun picked up the remote control and pressed a button.
The television, which had been dark, was turned on.
As the scene appeared, a man's voice with very poor Mandarin accent rang out: "Actually, we didn't initially intend for Pan'er to replace Xiaocao in the city..."
"Who is the little grass?"
"Ah? Little Grass is such a blessed daughter."
“Her name is not Li Xiaocao, her name is Li Chu. Don’t call her Xiaocao anymore.”
"Okay! I won't yell anymore!"
"Go on."
“That day, a few people came from the city. They said that their eldest daughter had been abducted to our Shiqiao Village and that she was Li Youfu’s dead wife.”
"They knew she had also given birth to a daughter, and they said they wanted to take her away."
“We didn’t initially intend for Pan’er to replace Xiao… Li Chu.”
“It was Pan’er who told her mother that she was the same age as Li Chu, and no one else knew what Li Chu looked like.”
"Instead of letting Li Chu go to the city to live a good life, it's better for her to go to the city. If she lives a good life, she can also bring a good life to our whole family."
"So, you let Li Pan'er take Li Chu's place?"
"Yes, that girl Pan'er is so capable; she sends us a lot of money every month!"
How could Li Pan'er not recognize Li Youcai's voice?
She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, unable to believe what she was seeing and hearing.
Her dad... he actually confessed to everything?!
Damn it! I knew all along I couldn't count on these family members!
Li Pan'er still has to act, pretending to be unaware, and pretending that Li Youcai is lying.
But by then, Xiao Chenghai had already prepared his performance.
He seemed to finally succumb to the blow and staggered, but the butler beside him caught him.
Xiao Chenghai looked palely at the still-playing video, then at Li Chu and Li Pan'er, and finally at Li Zhiyun.
"Zhiyun... Is this true? Pan'er isn't Xiaoxiao's daughter?"
Compared to Li Pan'er, Xiao Chenghai's level is much higher.
Even though Li Zhiyun and the others observed Xiao Chenghai's reaction so carefully, they couldn't find any flaws.
I couldn't help but wonder if there was some misunderstanding involved.
Just thinking about how Xiao Chenghai had picked up the wrong person, causing Li Chu to suffer for five more years, Li Zhiyun and the others still couldn't give him a good look.
Li Zhiyun said coldly, "Of course it's true. I even have a paternity test done by the police."
"Uncle Xiao, I'm very confused. What was the deal with that paternity test you did when you brought Li Pan'er back five years ago?"
Xiao Chenghai was also puzzled: "The paternity test results show that I am indeed related to Pan'er by blood. Could it be that Xiaoxiao gave birth to two daughters back then?"
Li Zhiyun categorically denied it: "Impossible! Of Xiaoxiao's children, only Chuchu survived!"
Xiao Chenghai: "Then the paternity test was wrong! But how could it be wrong? Someone must have tampered with it!"
He looked at Li Pan'er, his eyes suddenly sharpening: "Tell me! Who is the person behind you who fabricated the test results?!"
Li Pan'er was dumbfounded.
How did she know?
Five years ago, she was taken back to Beijing to do a paternity test, and she panicked.
She was only thinking about impersonating Li Chu, but she didn't expect there would be a paternity test involved.
While waiting for the results, Li Pan'er felt that she was doomed, definitely doomed!
However, when the test results came out, the report showed that she and Xiao Chenghai were related by blood.
At that time, Li Pan'er was both confused and delighted, thinking that the staff must have made a mistake.
But for her, this was a fantastic opportunity!
Now Xiao Chenghai is asking her who fabricated the fake test results.
How did she know?
Li Pan'er shook her head: "I...I don't know...I don't know anything..."
Xiao Chenghai glared at her before turning his attention back to his maternal uncle.
"Brother, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"
The eldest uncle didn't speak, but his gaze towards Xiao Chenghai remained scrutinizing.
Xiao Chenghai didn't mind; he turned to look at Li Chu.
"I didn't look closely before, but now I realize that this girl really does look a lot like Xiaoxiao."
Xiao Chenghai's tears came easily, and he choked out, "Your name is Chuchu, right? I'm your grandfather..."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, Grandpa. I'm so useless. I can't even recognize my own granddaughter!"
Li Chu looked at Xiao Chenghai, her face showing bewilderment, but inwardly she was calmly marveling at how good Xiao Chenghai's acting skills were!
If Li Pan'er hadn't told her before she died in her previous life that Xiao Chenghai knew from the beginning that the granddaughter he brought back was a fake, she probably would have believed it.
It seems she still has a lot to learn from Xiao Chenghai in terms of acting skills.
Li Chu twisted her fingers, looking somewhat conflicted and helpless: "I..."
She looked at her maternal uncle beside her and called him softly, "Maternal Uncle."
That look of dependence made the eldest uncle straighten his back even more.
Uncle: "Chuchu is fine. Your grandfather was foolish and harmed you. It's okay if you don't want to forgive him."
Hearing him say that, Xiao Chenghai spoke up again: "Yes, yes! Grandpa is confused! Chuchu will see how Grandpa behaves in the future. If Grandpa behaves well, then I will forgive him; if he behaves badly, then I will not forgive him."
Li Chu looked at him, hesitated, and nodded.
The eldest uncle spoke again, questioning Xiao Chenghai: "When you came back back then, I asked you why you didn't bring Xiaoxiao's remains back. You said she was already laid to rest and you didn't want to cause her any further harm."
"That's fine then."
"Why did you lie to us and say that the beast who hurt Xiaoxiao was dead? He's still alive and well!"
Xiao Chenghai's performance was flawless.
He exclaimed in shock, "What? He's still alive? But... but they told me that beast was dead?!"
After the initial shock, Xiao Chenghai was filled with resentment. His eyes turned red, his face turned pale, and his hands trembled.
He then clutched his chest and fell backward.
The housekeeper and servants quickly helped the person up.
The eldest uncle asked Li Zhiyun to call the family doctor over.
After diagnosis, it was said that Xiao Chenghai was emotionally agitated and had suffered a heart attack.
Because of this incident, the Li family's suspicions about Xiao Chenghai lessened considerably.
But Li Pan'er's wickedness is undeniable!
Considering that Li Pan'er was only a fifteen-year-old girl, the Li family only allowed Xiao Chenghai to send Li Pan'er away, back to where she came from.
Xiao Chenghai naturally agreed.
No matter how much Li Pan'er pleaded, she couldn't change Xiao Chenghai and the Li family's minds.
She tried to beg Li Chu, but her uncle had the Li family servants drag her out.
This farce has finally come to an end.
Xiao Chenghai sat on the sofa, still looking somewhat weak.
He looked at Li Chu with eyes full of loving kindness, heartache, and guilt.
"Chuchu, it's all Grandpa's fault."
"You'll go back with Grandpa later, Grandpa..."
Before Xiao Chenghai could finish speaking, his maternal uncle interrupted him: "Chuchu isn't going anywhere; she'll stay at the Li family's house."
