Chapter 170: Chapter 168 Expose the Truth

As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, Li Shiqi and his wife abruptly stood up.

"What did you say? You said that Nangong Li was crippled by someone? That’s impossible."

Li Shiqi’s emotions suddenly became very agitated.

"Otherwise, why do you think you can’t contact him? He can’t talk, he can’t move his limbs, how can he answer your calls?"

Long Chen sneered.

Li Shiqi and his wife were stunned.

On second thought, indeed, that seemed possible.

"Long Chen, how did you know about this? It wasn’t you, was it?"

Han Min stared closely at Long Chen.

"I heard it was done by the Yang Family. It has nothing to do with me. I just heard it from a friend, and I’m kindly informing you.

I advise you not to get involved in the struggle between the Yang Family and the Nangong Family. Otherwise, you won’t even qualify to be cannon fodder."

Long Chen said indifferently.

"This..."

Han Min bit her teeth tightly, seemingly unable to believe it, yet she had to accept it.

Her expression looked quite awkward.

Li Shiqi, on the other hand, simply couldn’t accept it, his face was almost twisted.

Because he had just seen a glimmer of hope for making big money, and now, it was shattered.

After carefully pondering, Han Min whispered, "Actually, this is the best opportunity."

"What do you mean?" asked Li Shiqi.

Han Min spoke softly, "Think about it. If Yuechan still goes to take care of Nangong Li at this time, the Nangong Family will definitely feel we are sincere and be touched. Then, wouldn’t the big project be successful?"

"You’re right," Li Shiqi slapped his knee. "This plan is brilliant. I was thinking wrong."

Long Chen and Li Yuechan exchanged looks, both saw speechlessness in each other’s eyes.

Li Shiqi then looked at Li Yuechan and said directly, "Yuechan, just do this favor for dad. You don’t really have to marry Nangong Li. Just pretend to take care of him, and later, you can leave without any consequences."

"I..."

Li Yuechan really wanted to tell Li Shiqi to fuck off.

But he was her father; she couldn’t say it.

"Yuechan, just consider it helping your dad this one time. If successful, we could secure several hundred million in investment funds. You’re also a member of the Li Family, and you’ll benefit from this later," Han Min said earnestly.

"Dad, Mom, I won’t listen to you. I don’t lack these benefits now. My priority is to manage my company. As for what you’re suggesting, it crosses a line, and I won’t do it."

Li Yuechan said sternly.

"What line is there not to cross? We’re not asking you to do anything outrageous, and besides, Nangong Li is disabled, what can he do to you?"

Li Shiqi was angered.

"Really, why are you so stubborn, child? A few hundred million, ordinary people won’t see that kind of money in several lifetimes," Han Min glared at Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan was completely speechless.

She really didn’t understand how she ended up with such parents.

Unable to watch any longer, Long Chen couldn’t help saying, "Auntie Han, you’re Yuechan’s biological mother. How can you say such things? Are you that desperate for money?"

"Isn’t that nonsense? It’s not about needing or not. This is for a better future. If it works out, it’s wealth that generations can’t spend. Endure a little discomfort to provide endless assets for your descendants, isn’t that worth it?"

"Long Chen, not to criticize you, if you really love Yuechan, you should persuade her not to be stubborn."

Han Min said sternly.

"But now, Yuechan’s company is making far more than caring for a disabled person would. Give her some time—not just a few hundred million, even ten or a hundred billion could be possible, and Yuechan would earn it honorably using her abilities without any compromising deeds. Isn’t that better?" Long Chen tried to reason. "When she earns money, she’ll also provide for you. Why force her into doing something she dislikes?"

"What do you know?" Han Min retorted. "Yuechan’s film production company, although profitable, has long cycles and high risks. But this, just show up, and it will quickly show results."

"Go to the Nangong Family and grovel like a dog? Auntie Han, maybe you should go instead."

Unable to bear it, Long Chen said.

"What did you say?"

Han Min was furious.

"I said, if you want to be a dog, go ahead, but don’t harm my wife," Long Chen said sternly.

"Long Chen..." Li Yuechan was startled. "Don’t talk to mom like that."

"Han Min, look at the good man you found," he sneered. "Not only did he once hit me, but now he talks to me like this, good, very good."

Han Min clenched her teeth.

Long Chen, however, let loose completely, sneering, "Isn’t what I said a fact? Think about it carefully, aren’t you sending Yuechan to the Nangong family like a dog? Oh, now that I’ve pointed it out, you think it’s too much to say? You and your husband, such an interesting couple."

"Long Chen, no matter what, we are still your elders. Is this how you treat your elders? Let me tell you, Li Yuechan is my daughter, and without my approval, she can forget about being happy with you."

Li Shiqi sneered.

"You’re nothing," Long Chen retorted as he stood up, berating him, "What are you even? You, you think you’re fit to be Yuechan’s father? Don’t think I don’t know... you are not Yuechan’s biological father at all."

Boom.

The moment Long Chen’s words came out, the room fell into silence.

Han Min’s face turned instantly pale.

As did Li Shiqi’s.

After a while, Li Shiqi stammered, "You... don’t spout nonsense."

"Is it nonsense, or do you not know it very well yourself? Do you want to go to the hospital with Yuechan for a DNA test? Let me tell you the truth: from your actions, I had suspected you for a long time. So, I secretly took both your hair and Yuechan’s and had a genetic test done at the hospital. The results show that you, Li Shiqi, are not Yuechan’s father."

Long Chen spoke sternly.

Li Yuechan felt as if struck by lightning, never having expected that Li Shiqi was not her biological father.

Seeing that Li Shiqi was no longer arguing, Li Yuechan believed Long Chen almost completely.

"Dad, is what he said true?"

Li Yuechan asked painfully.

"This..."

Li Shiqi’s face looked ugly.

He wanted to argue, but he could not.

Because he, too, dared not go to the hospital for a DNA test with Li Yuechan.

"So, everything Long Chen said is true, right? I’m not your biological daughter, am I?"

Li Yuechan pressed step by step.

"Yes, he’s right, you’re not my biological daughter. But the Li family raised you. How am I not like a father to you? Isn’t it right for you to call me father?"

Li Shiqi exclaimed loudly.

"Heh."

Li Yuechan continuously shook her head, unable to hold back her tears, "No wonder, no wonder, all my life, I’ve never received a kind look from you. No wonder, all your dirty and sleazy schemes always start with using me. It’s because I’m not your biological daughter. Now I completely understand."

"But I am always your mother, aren’t I? You are going to abandon your own mother as well?"

Han Min glared at Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan cried, crumbling, but Han Min’s eyes showed no hint of sympathy.

This situation dismayed Long Chen.

If he were not utterly disappointed, Long Chen would not have chosen this moment to reveal the truth.

"Long Chen, let’s go."

Li Yuechan, somewhat collapsing, stood up and started to leave, pulling Long Chen with her.

"How can you just walk away without clarifying things?"

Han Min grabbed Li Yuechan’s hand.

Because she used too much force, her nails scratched Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan moaned in pain, "Mom, you’ve lied to me for over twenty years, now what else do you want from me?"

"I don’t want anything from you; now that you already know the truth, just say one thing—is this father someone you still recognize?"

Han Min stared at Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan wiped her tears and said, "I will take care of Yuexin in his old age, if he needs it, but I will absolutely not help him with anything that crosses my moral baseline. Absolutely no way, not even if I die."

"You’ve been with the Li family for over twenty years, and you think simply promising to take care of me in my old age settles it? Li Yuechan, even a dog would have feelings for its owner. Are you just a thankless cur?"

Han Min’s words were very decisive.

Li Yuechan felt a chill run through her body, suddenly finding the whole world terrifying.

Next to her, Li Yuexin couldn’t help but say, "Mom, that’s too harsh. I think my sister hasn’t done anything wrong. She hasn’t wronged you at all; instead, it’s you who keeps setting traps for her."
