Chapter 408: Madam Li
Zhong Nian Yao, who had already left at this time, was wearing headphones. When she heard the voice coming from inside, she couldn't help but curl up a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth.
She was indeed wearing headphones, but the sound coming from the headphones was not singing, but a conversation between Li Jingming and Chu Yixue.
She had waited there on purpose today, not just to have a few words with Li Jingming and the others. As early as when they passed each other, she had already left eavesdropping talismans on both of them.
But she didn't expect that after she left, Li Jingming and Chu Yixue had already started talking about what happened yesterday. It seemed that her behavior had really stimulated them quite a bit!
As the two of them talked, Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with surprise because she discovered a fact, that is, Chu Yixue was the one who held the dominant position in this matter.
Or to be more precise, the person who had always wanted her life was Chu Yixue. As for Li Jingming, he was just a person being used by Chu Yixue.
Of course, this didn't mean she would let Li Jingming go. Regardless of whether she was instigated by Chu Yixue or was being used by her, the fact was that Li Jingming also wanted her life.
In that case, she naturally doesn't need to show mercy.
However, Li Jingming deserves to die, and Chu Yixue cannot escape either.
She could still guess why Chu Yixue wanted her dead. Wasn't it because she was worried that her identity as a fake daughter would be exposed? In that case, she would make Chu Yixue lose everything she had now.
Three days later, without Li Jingming knowing, Zhong Nianyao came to the Li family's villa alone. The person she came to see was the old lady of the Li family.
Although she was older, Mrs. Li looked healthy, probably because she had taken good care of herself. However, her expression was a little serious.
Old Madam Li looked at Zhong Nian Yao who was sitting opposite her, and her eyes couldn't help but look her up and down, with a hint of profound meaning in her eyes.
Facing the scrutinizing gaze of Old Madam Li, Zhong Nianyao appeared calm and composed. She even met the old lady's gaze openly and nodded slightly to her.
Madam Li was stunned for a moment, then the seriousness on her face eased a little, "I didn't expect that you are quite different from the rumors!"
"The rumors?" Zhong Nianyao smiled, not shying away from the rumors. "According to the rumors, I'm supposed to be a complete failure, a bit arrogant, chasing after Li Jingming all day, not feeling embarrassed at all?"
Madam Li shook her head gently. "I don't know what kind of person you were before. But now, you really don't like Li Jingming. I can still see that."
At her age, she wouldn't say she's seen countless men, but with so much life experience, she can still tell if someone likes her or not.
When Zhong Nianyao mentioned Li Jingming, there was no emotion in her eyes, not even hatred or disgust. To her, the name Li Jingming was just an insignificant person.
"I really don't like Li Jingming," Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "A man like him is not worthy of my love."
A hint of surprise flashed in Madam Li's eyes, and she immediately asked, "Then what is your purpose in coming here today?"
Even when she was chasing Li Jingming before, Zhong Nianyao didn't come to his house, let alone meet him. Now Zhong Nianyao clearly has no feelings for Li Jingming at all, but she chose to come to his house at this time. If she said that nothing happened, she would be lying.
"Haha, I came to visit you today, so of course I have something important to do." Zhong Nianyao raised her head and looked at Madam Li, and suddenly spoke, "Madam, the reason why you let Li Jingming enter the Li family and become the eldest master of the Li family must be because Chen Sisi once saved you!"
"However, I can see that you don't really care that much about your grandson Li Jingming!"
Suddenly hearing Zhong Nianyao mention this matter, Madam Li nodded, "That's true. Chen Sisi saved me. Her only wish is to give her son a legitimate identity. I will definitely agree to her request."
"Of course, that's all. There's nothing more."
Almost everyone in the upper class knew about this, so there was nothing to hide. She felt a little sorry for her daughter-in-law in order to get Li Jingming into the family. Furthermore, Li Jingming hadn't shown any outstanding qualities over the years. So, she couldn't say whether she cared about this grandson or not; it was just another person in the family.
Zhong Nianyao smiled and continued, "Then, old lady, have you ever thought that perhaps the so-called life-saving grace is just a trap, a set one?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's question, Madam Li was not surprised. She shook her head gently and said, "This is true."
She wasn't someone who acted on impulse. She was naturally suspicious of Chen Sisi's life-saving grace, given the strange circumstances surrounding it. Furthermore, the Li family couldn't simply treat such a major incident as an accident; they would definitely investigate thoroughly. Therefore, this matter couldn't be false; Chen Sisi had indeed saved her.
So, even though she didn't like Chen Sisi, she agreed to let Li Jingming enter the Li family.
"There's always a loophole in a perfect plan. How can you be sure that the Li family has thoroughly investigated what happened back then?" Zhong Nianyao slowly pulled out a document from her bag and handed it to Madam Li. "Madam, you might want to take a look at it. Maybe it will give you a new understanding of what happened back then!"
Madam Li was skeptical as she opened the document and began to read. The more she read, the uglier her expression became.
However, after reading it completely, Madam Li's expression had returned to normal. "Miss Zhong, do you mind if I ask where you got these things?"
"I found it through investigation!" Zhong Nianyao smiled. "Don't worry, old lady. Everything here is true. There is no need for me to lie to you about this matter. If you don't believe it, you can investigate it again. I think you can find out more unknown things."
"I don't doubt the authenticity of this document." Old Madam Li cast an inquiring look at Zhong Nianyao. "I'm just curious about your purpose."
