CEO's Dear Wife-Chapter 874: FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL
Li Shen screamed, "I don't believe it. Anyone can have my father's look through plastic surgery. You say that you are the eldest but you look so young. Do you think that I'm blind? In my lifetime, I've never seen a single picture of you or any document regarding the eldest son. My grandfather had only one son and that's my father. As the eldest of the Li Family, I know every secret of my family. How can I not know if I had an uncle or not?"
Both Mu Lan and Professor Ryuren looked at Li Shen. Professor Ryuren calmly said, "My wife and I had been in a relationship since she was in middle school. Three years later, her father's business partner betrayed him and made his company bankrupt. At that time, she helped her father and I helped her to find the culprit. The culprit was my father who was the President of the Li Corporation at that time. When my father found out that I was the one who betrayed him because of my girlfriend, he threw me out of the house and cut all the connections. I was still in university back then. I completed my studies and led my life with my own merit. Then I married my girlfriend. As a coldhearted person he was, I guess my father destroyed all the information and pictures I had in the mansion. Later I found out that my mother died soon after I left. She couldn't stand my father's cruelty. My younger brother's girlfriend was my girlfriend's best friend. You can ask your father about everything I just said if you want to make sure or you can check your grandmother's diary. I think she saved a family photo from my father's grasp."
Just then, Mrs. Li found her voice. "Everything is a lie! He is lying. Xiao Shen, don't listen to a mad man. You are right. How can someone older than my husband be so young?" Her voice was full of anxiety. She was scared. At first, when she saw Professor Ryuren, she couldn't believe her eyes. He looked just the same when he died. It was like his ghost came back from the underworld and wanted to take her with him to the grave. She was still doubting him, but when he told his past so vividly, she had no doubt left. Her tiny hope, that he was a fake, had disappeared.
Professor Ryuren looked at the vicious woman. He wasn't smiling when he said, "Truth will always come to light no matter how hard you try to hide it. Do you know why? Because truth belongs to light and lie belongs to darkness."
Li Shen looked at him suspiciously. He still didn't believe anything Professor Ryuren just said. He took out his cell phone and said, "I'll ask my father."
"That won't be necessary. What he told you is the truth." Another voice said.
The four of them looked at the man in his fifties. It was Mr. Li, Li Shen's father.
"Father, why are you here?" Li Shen was surprised.
Mu Lan was too. She whispered to her father, "Papa, how did he come here? By the way, how did you come here? I didn't hear any sound of the engine."
Professor Ryuren smiled. "Submarine. Others came with me as well. Shin told us that my sister-in-law and nephew were disturbing you and so I planned to take my brother along with me. I did a good job, didn't I?"
Mu Lan smiled. "You did. If you didn't, you wouldn't be my papa. Since you came through the basement, didn't you meet my family?"
"I did. That was the greatest surprise I've ever got. Lanie, your children are wonderful. And I love how caring your husband is towards you. You have got a good eye for men." Professor Ryuren laughed delightfully.
Mr. Li looked at Professor Ryuren and Mu Lan talking to each other and sighed. He said, "Xiao Shen, I know whatever I did in the past is wrong. But my heart wasn't into it. What can I do? I couldn't force myself after I found out the truth. But if I knew that it would harm my big brother and his family, I wouldn't even marry your mother."
"What do you mean, father?" Li Shen asked.
Mr. Li took a deep breath and started a long story. "I was in high school when I met my girlfriend. It was a business party. She was a beautiful and lively girl. I asked her out and soon we started going out. Her best friend was the eldest heir of the Zhuan Family. My girlfriend would always drag her best friend when we went out. Zhuan Zhen and my fathers were business partners and we met quite often. Before I realized, I fell in love with her. Back then, I didn't know that Zhuan Zhen and my brother were going out. However, my father betrayed his partner and I was ashamed to face her. Afterward, I went to study abroad with my girlfriend. When I came back with her, my brother wasn't around, mother was dead. No one told me what happened. My father already arranged a marriage with a lady from another family. I didn't agree. But then, my girlfriend died in a car accident. I couldn't attend her funeral party. Soon after that, I was married. That's your mother. We were having a good life until I found out the truth about my girlfriend's accident. It was your mother's doing. Though I fell in love with Zhuan Zhen in my school life, I still promised to marry my girlfriend. While we were aboard, she was carrying my child. And your mother killed her ruthlessly along with my child just to marry me."
Mr. Li recalled the past and almost choked. "I felt disgusted that I married my first born's killer and lived with her. I couldn't be with a demoness who killed my girlfriend and my first born. That's why, I left."
