"Where is Luo Shicheng?" Sun Bailing asked casually when he didn't see his scoundrel son-in-law.
Hua Li, "He, he was sued by Xiang Yu..."
Um?
Not only Sun Bailing, but even Xiao Xiu, who was crying so hard he couldn't breathe, gradually stopped crying.
"What reason?"
Hua Li, "Xiang Yu accused him of abusing his wife and daughters and of maintaining an improper relationship with Liu Jingqiu for many years."
Although there is no evidence to prove that Luo Shicheng and Liu Jingqiu had a substantive relationship.
But he didn't provide his wife and daughter with living expenses; instead, he gave all his money to Liu Jingqiu. This alone makes it difficult to overturn the case. Now it depends on what Liu Jingqiu has to say.
Luo Shicheng was indeed wrong in this matter. If Sun Bailing hadn't been considering that his granddaughter couldn't live without her father, he would have done it long ago. It's just that Xiang Yu's actions are really puzzling.
"Why did Xiang Yu do this?" Sun Bailing asked.
Hua Li sighed, “When I was released, Xiang Yu spoke to me privately.”
According to her, my mother is very angry that you married Xiao Rong and will never come back to find you in this lifetime. So, as long as she can appease my mother, she will still be my mother's most beloved daughter.
"By reporting Luo Shicheng, I, a spineless coward, will learn how to retaliate against those who bully me. If Xiang Yu does this, he'll gain my mother's favor and continue to be her sole heir."
Xiang Yu dared to say these things to her face because he was certain that the proud Shen Suyin would definitely give up on Sun Bailing, who was going to marry someone else, and would despise the weak and easily bullied fool who seemed to be her daughter.
Sun Bailing: "This is indeed something Su Yin would do. She's always so genuine and always so adorable."
Everyone fell silent, and Hua Li, as the daughter, didn't know what to say either.
Since it was Xiang Yu who sued Luo Shicheng, not them, then regardless of the outcome, it can only be said that Luo Shicheng had only himself to blame. Sun Bailing declined to comment and instead asked Xiao Xiu for his opinion.
"Tell Grandpa, how exactly did those beasts from the Cheng family bully Xiaoxiu?"
The child couldn't have cried so hard he almost passed out for no reason. Sun Bailing was certain that the despicable couple had done something heinous that would anger both heaven and man.
Xiao Xiu remained silent, refusing to utter a word no matter how she was asked. Sun Bailing frowned and spoke of Luo Yan.
"If your brother won't tell you, then you will."
She really couldn't tell Xiaoxiu about this, and Luo Yan looked innocent.
"Grandpa, give me a hug."
Luo Yan climbed into Sun Bailing's arms, vying for his affection and pushing Xiao Xiu aside. Then she monopolized Sun Bailing's embrace, ignoring Xiao Xiu.
Hua Li had been away from her child for less than two days, but it felt like two centuries. She missed Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu. Seeing that Sun Bailing was so engrossed in Luo Yan's coaxing that she forgot herself, she hugged Xiao Xiu, kissed her forehead, and asked Xiao Xiu.
"Aunt Hua misses Xiao Xiu terribly. Does Xiao Xiu miss Aunt Hua too?"
The hurt Xiaoxiu suffered from her biological parents was soothed by Hua Li's gentle kiss, and Xiaoxiu hugged Hua Li's neck and shyly hummed in agreement.
Hua Li knew that Xiao Xiu was very sad, so he hugged Xiao Xiu tightly and gave her the warmest support with his not-so-strong arms.
Seeing that Xiao Xiu had been coaxed by Hua Li, Luo Yan, nestled in Sun Bailing's arms, had a sly look in her eyes.
"Grandpa, Dad..." Luo Yan pleaded for Luo Shicheng at the right moment.
Her father truly brought this upon himself. Although Xiang Yu wasn't a great person, she couldn't really say that Xiang Yu had done anything wrong in this matter.
But under no circumstances should Luo Shicheng be accused of having an affair with Liu Jingqiu, and Xiang Yu should not be allowed to succeed, otherwise Luo Shicheng's stain would have an unnecessary impact on his mother who is preparing for the college entrance examination.
Besides, it would be disgusting to let Xiang Yu gain her grandmother's approval by stepping on her father. Furthermore, Xiang Yu has taken over more than 20 years of her mother's life, and she should pay it back.
Sun Bailing was also thinking about this matter.
Actually, this matter is easy to resolve. As long as he meets with Su Yin to clear up the misunderstanding, all the problems will be solved.
Hua Li said, "Dad, although Luo Shicheng really treated us mother and daughter very badly back then, what is true is true, and what is false is false. Luo Shicheng really did not cross the line with Liu Jingqiu, so if you can help him this time, please do so. I will not object."
Sun Bailing pondered, "No one can really help him with this. Just like you said, if he has it, he has it; if he doesn't, he doesn't. If he doesn't, he'll get out sooner or later. If he does, then he deserves it."
Chen Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, "What if Liu Jingqiu is lying?"
In order to gain her younger sister's approval from her adoptive mother, Liu Jingqiu insisted that she had a past relationship with Luo Shicheng, so that Luo Shicheng would never be able to clear his name.
Sun Bailing said, "That can only mean that there was a problem with Liu Jingqiu's supervision. Otherwise, how would someone in prison know about Xiang Yu's plan?"
Chen Yuanshan said, "Let's not worry about how Liu Jingqiu found out about Xiang Yu's plan. What if she insists that she has a connection with Luo Shicheng?"
Sun Bailing sneered, "Then let her specify the time and place, and then we'll cross-examine her testimony with Luo Shicheng."
It's impossible that Luo Shicheng was alone every time without witnesses. If there were witnesses, it would prove that Liu Jingqiu was lying.
So instead of worrying about that bastard, I should think about how to get me in touch with Su Yin.
Chen Yuanshan: "Oh, well, I'll go check if Aunt Shen is still in the country."
Luo Yan suddenly grabbed Hua Li's hand, "No, Grandma, let's test it."
Even if Shen Suyin couldn't be sure which of Hua Li and Xiang Yu was her biological daughter, if she could suppress her longing and not investigate or claim kinship, then this person wasn't worth their initiative to contact.
If you really want to recognize your relatives, then let your abilities speak for themselves. As long as your mother is outstanding enough to make Shen Suyin put aside her prejudices and come to see you in person, the striking resemblance between your mother and grandmother will confirm who your daughter is.
Given my mother's current situation, the only way to prove herself is through the college entrance examination.
Hua Li understood Luo Yan's meaning as soon as she heard the word "exam," Hua Li said.
"I will take the college entrance examination no matter what, but not for anyone else, but for myself."
I survived all these years without recognizing my mother, so her recognition is just icing on the cake for me. Besides, I'm already very content with having a father.
As for Mom, if her love needs other reasons to justify it, then that love is dispensable.
Ah, Mom's idea is right, Luo Yan likes it.
Luo Yan clapped her hands, "Mommy is awesome! Mommy is awesome!"
Hua Li affectionately pinched Luo Yan's little nose.
"Stop criticizing me. You're the same. Learn to speak properly. Even a great person who is slow to speak is almost there."
Luo Yan raised her hand and rubbed her little nose. She had difficulty speaking ever since she transmigrated, so it wasn't her fault.
After listening to his daughter's words, Sun Bailing agreed. The misunderstanding about his marriage to Xiao Rong could be explained, but it was wrong for Shen Suyin to look down on her daughter.
Besides, he didn't see anything particularly outstanding about Xiang Yu, though she was definitely full of bad intentions. So if Shen Suyin refused to acknowledge her daughter, he would have no choice but to side with his daughter and granddaughter.
Sun Bailing gritted his teeth and gave up the idea of contacting Shen Suyin.
