Chapter 297: Chapter 263: The Mystery of Birth Origins

In the early morning, as the dawn light spilled over the streets and alleys of Dong hai, bus stops and subway stations were crowded with anxious office workers and students waiting for their rides, and the streets were filled with fast-moving cars. A new day had begun.

Under the dawn light, a red Range Rover was driving on a main road towards Dong hai University.

As usual, Liu Li was driving, with Situ Ruoshui sitting in the passenger seat.

"Sister Liuli, be careful!"

Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out, and Situ Ruoshui, looking tense, warned Liu Li.

Hearing this, Liu Li quickly turned the steering wheel, and the red Range Rover narrowly missed the mirror of the car ahead, narrowly avoiding an accident.

"Sister Liuli, haven’t you recovered your focus? Why do you keep getting distracted while driving?"

Feeling scared, Situ Ruoshui patted her 36D left chest and couldn’t help saying, as this had been the third heart-pounding incident.

"Recove ... recovered."

Liu Li answered somewhat flusteredly, her pretty face filled with embarrassment, and behind the awkwardness, there was also an unmistakable hint of joy—since leaving Ao Xiang Villa, everything that had happened with Ye Fan in her dreams the previous night kept flashing through her mind like a movie, leaving her sweetly indulged and causing her to lose focus while driving.

"Logically, since it was Big Brother who helped you, he should definitely have been able to help you regain your focus."

Situ Ruoshui nodded and then, either to keep Liu Li from getting distracted again by deliberately starting a conversation or out of curiosity, asked again, "Sister Liuli, Big Brother said last night that he wanted to help you cultivate a Power Seed and teach you meditation, why didn’t you accept?"

"I’ve said before, learning meditation with the help of others would limit my future achievements. I’m determined to become a master," Liu Li said, and inexplicably, she remembered the feeling of being woken from her dream by Situ Ruoshui’s cry last night and nestling in Ye Fan’s arms.

That feeling, like poison, had addicted her the first time she tried it, causing a faint blush to creep up her cheeks.

"Sister Liuli, you really are persistent," Situ Ruoshui said admiringly.

Proudly lifting her little head, Liu Li felt even more convinced of her own determination. Otherwise, how could last night’s scenario have occurred?

Half an hour later, Liu Li drove the red Range Rover into Dong hai University, heading straight for the school parking lot.

Uh?

Suddenly, the sweet smile on Liu Li’s face froze, and she stared blankly ahead at a car.

It was a large-displacement Audi A6L, a common car, but it bore municipal government license plates, and according to the plate number, it belonged high up in the ranks, at least to a director-level official’s vehicle.

"Sister Liu Li, what’s wrong?" Noticing Liu Li’s unusual behavior, Situ Ruoshui asked.

"No ... nothing."

Although she said this, the smile had disappeared from Liu Li’s face, her expression turned ugly, and her eyebrows inadvertently furrowed together.

Ahead, Su Qin, who had seen the red Range Rover from inside the high-ranking municipal government Audi A6L, brightened up, hurriedly pushed open the car door, and stepped out.

"Sister Liu Li, it seems to be Auntie."

Having met Su Qin once with Liu Li, Situ Ruoshui recognized her immediately.

"Hmm."

Su Qin nodded, thought for a moment, and then told Situ Ruoshui, "Ruoshui, after you get out of the car, go to the classroom first. I’ll follow soon."

"Okay."

Situ Ruoshui nodded, got out of the car as soon as it stopped, and cutely greeted Su Qin, "Hi, Auntie."

"Hello, Ruoshui," Su Qin forced a smile.

"You talk with Sister Liuli. I’ll head to the classroom now. Goodbye, Auntie." Situ Ruoshui smiled and waved her hand, holding her textbooks as she left.

Meanwhile, Liu Li got out of the car and clearly saw that Su Qin’s hair was somewhat disheveled, her normally well-moisturized face was sallow, her eyes were dark-rimmed, and she looked extremely haggard, a stark contrast to her usual image.

For some reason, seeing this scene made Liu Li pause for a moment, and involuntarily, her anger and resentment decreased slightly, compelling her to ask, "What are you doing here? Why have you become like this?"

"Liu Li, whether for your own sake or for mine, you must distance yourself from Ye Fan!" Su Qin stepped forward, grabbed Liu Li’s hand as if fearing Liu Li might run away.

Liu Li, initially feeling somewhat sympathetic upon seeing Su Qin’s haggard face and not planning to dwell on the previous issue where Su Qin had told her to apologize to Bai Luo, became angry again upon hearing Su Qin’s words. Her face immediately turned cold, "Hey, last time you told me that Ye Fan could never stand against Young Master Bai, Bai Luo, and asked me to apologize to Bai Luo. Now, after Bai Luo was personally sent to prison by Ye Fan, never to recover, you come to me again, asking me to distance myself from Ye Fan! Are you suggesting that the Bai Family will make sure Ye Fan meets a horrific end and that they will take their anger out on me as well?"

Su Qin instinctively nodded.

"Huh, you really are a good mother,"

Seeing this, Liu Li felt as if her heart was being stabbed, causing intense pain, her tone becoming much colder, "But I’m curious, where were you, this ’good mother,’ when I was being framed and almost bled to death? You didn’t even call to comfort me, did you?"

"Liu...Liu Li, I was out of town on a business trip those days, and I only came back yesterday," Su Qin explained urgently.

"A business trip? Alright, let’s say you were on a business trip and got back only yesterday. But at least you could have called yesterday to ask if I was feeling better, instead of coming here first thing in the morning to tell me to distance myself from Ye Fan," Liu Li grew increasingly agitated as she spoke, "If it weren’t for Ye Fan, I would have been reporting to Yama Palace by now!"

"I... I..."

Su Qin was at a loss for words before she finally took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision, her body trembling as she said, "Liuli, I asked you to make a clear distinction with Ye Fan, not only because I’m worried the Bai Family would take their anger out on you, but there’s another reason."

"What reason?" Su Liuli asked.

"Bai Luo is your brother," Su Qin revealed the secret that had been hidden deep in her heart for many years.

"Uh..."

Hearing Su Qin’s words, Su Liuli looked at Su Qin in shock, as if she had heard the most incredible thing in the world, her face full of confusion as she stuttered, "What... what did you say??"

"Bai Luo is your brother, you are Bai Guotao’s daughter," Su Qin spoke again, stating the fact.

"This... this... how is this possible?"

Su Liuli widened her eyes, completely dumbfounded, "Didn’t you tell me my father died in a car accident? How did I suddenly become Bai Guotao’s daughter??"

"The story about your biological father is just a lie, aimed at covering up my relationship with Bai Guotao, with whom I have no relation," Su Qin sighed softly.

"No, this isn’t true!"

Perhaps because it all came so suddenly, to the point that Su Liuli was completely unprepared, her emotions became agitated; her eyes reddening as she grabbed Su Qin’s arm and shook it hard, "Tell me this isn’t true!!"

"It’s true," Su Qin said, guilt surfacing on her worn face.

Whoosh!

Hearing Su Qin’s confirmation again, Su Liuli trembled violently as if electrocuted, subconsciously letting go of Su Qin, and uncontrollably took two steps back, nearly collapsing to the ground.

In the morning light, she stood motionless like a statue.

If it weren’t for the heart-wrenching pain that felt as though her heart was being torn apart, she might even suspect that all of this was a dream!

A nightmare!!

"Liuli, I’m sorry."

Seeing this, Su Qin’s guilt intensified and she softly apologized.

No response.

Su Liuli just stood silently, letting tears slide down her cheeks, her heart repeating over and over: I am Bai Guotao’s illegitimate daughter, and he is Ye Wenhao’s illegitimate son, we can never be together!

"I’m sorry, I should have told you earlier."

Seeing Su Liuli remain silent, Su Qin apologized again and then tried to step forward to hold Su Liuli’s hand once more, only to find Su Liuli weakly squatting on the ground, her head buried between her legs, crying silently.

"Liuli..."

Su Qin approached to comfort her.

"Get away, get away!"

Su Liuli, as if greatly provoked, pushed Su Qin away.

"Liuli, I know it’s hard for you to accept this fact right now, but Bai Guotao’s blood runs through your veins; it’s an unchangeable truth," Su Qin sighed and said, "Initially, I wanted to tell you this before you apologized to Bai Luo, but unexpectedly, I didn’t get the chance to tell you before something like this happened."

"If I’m not mistaken, the reason you came looking for me, aside from telling me to draw a clear line with Ye Fan, was to have me apologize to Bai Guotao as well, right?" Su Liuli, with tear-stained cheeks, looked at Su Qin with a chilling expression.

Upon hearing this, Su Qin hesitated slightly but finally nodded.

"Heh... Heh heh... Heh heh heh..."

Seeing Su Qin nod, Su Liuli suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with heart-wrenching pain. Then, she looked at Su Qin with deep resentment, her voice hoarse as she said, "Su Qin, all you really care about is yourself! You are afraid this matter will affect your relationship with him, so you came to me, asking me to admit my wrongs!"

Su Qin was at a loss for words.

"Su Qin, you are too selfish, you don’t deserve to be my mother—I hate you!!"

Tears flowed into Su Liuli’s mouth, tasting bitterly as she yelled despairingly and hatefully at Su Qin, then without waiting for a reply, turned and ran away.

"Liuli..."

Su Qin tried to follow but slipped, nearly falling to the ground.

Without responding, Su Liuli ran and cried, her heart feeling as if it was being stabbed by a sharp dagger, the pain making it difficult to breathe. (To be continued.
