"You're Wen Li?"
As soon as Wen Li came downstairs, she saw an elderly woman in a black cheongsam with a dark floral pattern staring at her. Her sharp eyes scrutinized her from head to toe, as if she were examining a piece of merchandise.
Wen Sirou stood next to the old man, her eyes filled with affection.
Wen Li frowned, but did not speak.
Just by looking at their faces, Wen Li was already able to figure out the other person's identity.
However, the old lady's gaze was really unfriendly, so Wen Li stood a few steps away from her, scrutinizing her with the same look.
Such a gaze was too conspicuous, carrying a scrutinizing tone, which enraged the other party.
"He doesn't even greet you when we meet; what an ill-mannered person!"
Wen Li rolled her eyes, feigning ignorance, and asked, "Who are you?"
Seeing Wen Li roll her eyes, Qin Hualan felt a surge of anger. She pointed her well-maintained finger at Wen Li's head and said, "I am your own grandmother, how dare you talk to me like that? You really are from the countryside. How can someone like you be worthy of being the granddaughter of the Wen family!"
Qin Hualan looked at Wen Li, whose face resembled that of a member of the Wen family, but more so that of her daughter-in-law who had passed away more than ten years ago.
She seemed to see that woman's figure again in Wen Li.
Qin Hualan couldn't help but say, "Do you think you can drive Sirou away just by returning to the Wen family? Let me tell you, without my permission, you can forget about getting rid of our Sirou!"
Wen Sirou's eyes were red and swollen. She leaned affectionately against Qin Hualan, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Grandma, please don't be like this. That house originally belonged to my sister too. I'm the one who wronged her. It's all because of me..."
"Nonsense!" Qin Hualan stared at Wen Li, her hatred undisguised. "You've never even read a book in your life! My Wen family would be ashamed of you!"
Qin Hualan dislikes Wen Li's mother.
What she wanted was a family whose social standing matched that of the Wen family.
She always felt that Wen Li's mother, an ordinary person, must have used some seductive methods to seduce her son to marry into a wealthy family.
She fell in love with Wen Sirou at first sight.
On the contrary, when she saw Wen Li, whose face was almost exactly the same as her mother's, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
All the hurtful words came out in one breath.
Wen Li remained unmoved upon hearing this.
She and the man in front of her were related by blood, but there was no familial affection between them.
Wen Li's voice was soft and sweet, but her tone was indifferent: "Then what should we do? I've already gone home, and Wen Sirou is definitely leaving."
Wen Li looked at me with an expression that said, "You want to kill me? I'll make sure you can't."
It's infuriating.
Qin Hualan's face darkened, and she immediately realized that Wen Li was provoking her!
"Wen Li, you are truly rebellious!"
Wen Li smiled gently and said to Qin Hualan, "If you came here just to assert your dominance over Wen Sirou, I advise you to give up on that idea."
Qin Hualan immediately realized that Wen Li was not as docile as she looked. She frowned and asked, "I'll give you money to leave the Wen family."
Wen Li shook her head and said definitively, "The Wen family will only have one daughter."
After a pause, Wen Li glanced back and forth between the two of them, her smile widening.
"And that person—can only be me."
After Wen Li finished speaking, she didn't say anything more, turned around and went up to the dormitory building, ignoring Qin Hualan's calls.
After returning to her dormitory, Wen Li packed her things while calling Wen Tingsong.
Wen Tingsong would leave work early every Friday to pick up Wen Li from school.
Wen Tingsong received a call from Wen Li and almost immediately agreed.
"Honey, why haven't you come out yet?"
Wen Tingsong, on the other end of the phone, looked through the car window at the students who had almost all left, but still couldn't see his daughter.
"I'm still in the dorm." Wen Li lowered her eyelashes, her voice soft: "Grandma is here, she's downstairs in my dorm."
Wen Tingsong's heart skipped a beat, and he opened the car door almost immediately, speeding all the way to Wen Li's dormitory building.
Before he even arrived, he indeed saw Qin Hualan cursing loudly at the dormitory entrance.
Wen Tingsong's face darkened instantly, and he strode up to Qin Hualan: "Mom, what are you doing here?"
Qin Hualan's voice stopped abruptly, and she turned around in surprise, but quickly regained her composure: "What could I be here for? Of course, I'm here to find Wen Li."
After saying that, Qin Hualan asked angrily, "I already know what happened! I'm the first to disagree with your idea of kicking Sirou out of the house!"
Wen Tingsong had a terrible headache.
The reason he didn't notify Qin Hualan immediately after finding his child was because of this.
The result was just as I had expected.
Wen Tingsong took a deep breath, his tone as cold as iron: "It's no use if you disagree. Wen Sirou's procedures for going abroad are almost complete. She must go abroad no matter what. This is my biggest concession."
If it weren't for the seventeen-year relationship, he might have done something even worse.
But he doesn't regret it.
"I said I disagree!"
Qin Hualan knew her son well and knew that the other party was serious.
"You've only known that country bumpkin for a few days? Si Rou has called you 'Dad' for seventeen years. Now that your real daughter is back, you're in such a hurry to kick the fake one out?"
Qin Hualan felt that Wen Tingsong was utterly heartless!
They kept such a big thing from her, their purpose was to kick Sirou out of the house and send her abroad.
She would never agree!
The thought of Wen Sirou leaving, and perhaps never seeing her again, made Qin Hualan's heart ache: "It's not Sirou's fault that she was switched at birth. What does a child like her know?"
"Enough!"
Wen Tingsong couldn't listen anymore.
He stared intently at Qin Hualan, his tone growing increasingly cold: "When A Miao gave birth, there were bodyguards all over the floor. The chances of a hospital nurse switching babies were extremely slim. Besides, a mistake is a mistake. Now that my biological daughter is back, Wen Sirou must leave. If she doesn't leave, what will Xiao Li think of me as her father!"
The little girl usually has a deep and reserved demeanor, but she's very outgoing and friendly.
But she was only seventeen years old. No matter how tactful she was or how broad her horizons were, she was still just a minor.
If she loves both children at the same time, what would Wen Li think?
That affection has always belonged to Wen Li; it's unfair to make two people share that love equally.
However, Qin Hualan could not understand what Wen Tingsong was saying.
She held Wen Sirou tightly, who was already in tears, her heart aching and her eyes reddening as well: "If you dare to do that, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingsong frowned, his thoughts unreadable.
Qin Hualan thought he was scared, and her eyes were full of smugness.
"You're in good health, you won't die."
Wen Tingsong suddenly spoke up, glancing back and forth between the two of them, his tone serious: "However, overseas sanatoriums are not bad either. If you dare to cause trouble, I will pack you up and send you abroad as well."
