After the divorce, I became a rich girl

As for Li Xuanbao, Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu were surprised at her scheming. Although they found it hard to accept, it had already happened and Houhu could not change the fact.

As parents, they were shocked by Li Xuanbao's schemes, but more importantly, they were disappointed by her actions. As parents who raised her from childhood, it can be said that they gave her all their love. Even after knowing that she was not their biological daughter, they believed that they treated her no differently from their biological daughter. What's more, for Jing Qiu, her feelings for Li Xuanbao were even deeper than her feelings for Li Jiawei.

However, their unconditional devotion to her was rewarded with her years of deception and her plot against their own daughter.

When she hid the truth in high school, they could understand that it was because she was young and couldn't overcome her inner fear; when she didn't tell them in college, they could also understand that she was not ready yet. But after graduating from college, getting married, and becoming a mother, Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu, as Li Jiawei's biological parents, could never forgive her for hiding the truth from them.

Regarding this matter, Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu tacitly chose not to tell Li Jiawei the truth. What would it matter if they told her the truth? This was an unchangeable fact, and it might also make Li Jiawei fall into a vortex of resentment.

As her biological parents, Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu would rather she be happy and content than live in resentment towards Li Xuanbao every day.

What's more, Li Jiawei's life is now on track. She has a lover, a career to pursue, and she wants to live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of her life. This is their greatest wish as parents.

As for Li Yan, Li Ronghua told him that he hoped he would make a choice between Li Jiawei and Li Xuanbao. After hearing what Li Xuanbao did, Li Yan was silent for a long time. It was unknown what he was thinking. Finally, he just said, "Dad, I know what to do."

Afterwards, Li Yan invited He Zhizhou to a bar they often went to. In the private room, Li Yan poured a full glass of whiskey into both of their glasses, clinked glasses with He Zhizhou, and drank it all in one gulp without saying anything.

When He Zhizhou saw Li Yan's expression, he knew that he had something to say. He also drank the wine in his glass and looked at Li Yan: "Ask whatever you want to ask."

Li Yan put down his wine glass, stared at He Zhizhou, and asked, "When did you know about that?"

When He Zhizhou heard Li Yan ask this, he knew what he was asking, and asked with a wry smile, "Did she say that?"

Li Yan nodded: "Yes, she confessed it that night after the banquet."

He Zhizhou was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "We officially started dating and living together when she was a sophomore. I found that she often had nightmares, and after waking up from the nightmares, she would sit there until dawn. Her state made me very uneasy. I was very worried about her, so I wanted to take her to see a psychologist, but she refused to go.

This situation continued until her junior year. One time, she got drunk and hugged me tightly and cried, saying that she really didn't want to be like this. She was very scared, afraid of being abandoned by her parents and losing everything she had now. I knew that everyone in your family loved her very much, and it was impossible for her to have such a huge fear. Maybe it was because of my professional sensitivity, so I took advantage of her drunkenness to get her to talk, and then I found out that she was not your parents' biological daughter.

The next day, after she woke up, I advised her to confess to your parents. After all, so many years have passed, and the whereabouts of the child who was taken away by mistake are unknown. Only by finding the child as soon as possible can this mistake be corrected. Moreover, with your parents' love for her, she would not lose much even if she told the truth.

But I couldn't persuade her. Finally, I spoke too harshly, and she threatened that if I dared to tell you privately, she would commit suicide the moment you asked her about it.

Li Yan sneered: "So, you have been hiding it?"

He Zhizhou filled another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said helplessly: "Yes, I helped her hide it."

Li Yan watched He Zhizhou drinking non-stop, but did not stop him. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Then... have you checked?"

He Zhizhou was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No. She said that if she didn't know who the child was, she might be able to comfort herself. Once she knew who the wrong child was, she would be even more uneasy. She would be unable to control her attention to the girl. She was afraid that she would do something irreparable."

Hearing what He Zhizhou said, Li Yan was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to resent Li Xuanbao's ulterior motives or He Zhizhou's concealment of their family: "Should our family thank you for not investigating privately in the first place? So, you suddenly broke up in the first place?"

He Zhizhou smiled bitterly: "None of us can overcome the hurdle in our hearts."

"Do you still love her now?" Li Yan suddenly asked.

He Zhizhou shook his head and said, "Time is the best killer of love. Even if two people love each other, they cannot resist the erosion of time."

As soon as He Zhizhou finished speaking, Li Yan put a document on the table, looked at He Zhizhou and said, "This is a detailed list of all the assets our family has given to Xuanbao over the years. My parents hope to get them all back."

He Zhizhou understood what Li Yan meant and took the file bag without hesitation: "Okay, I'll handle this matter."

Li Yan continued, "After you come back, transfer the property directly to Jiawei's name."

He Zhizhou nodded and said, "I understand."

When He Zhizhou went to find Li Xuanbao, Li Xuanbao smiled bitterly when he heard the purpose of his visit. Then, without hesitation, he called the financial staff and handed over all the assets recorded in the documents to He Zhizhou.

When she decided to tell Jing Qiu the truth, she expected this result.

However, she looked at the villa where she lived and said, "Can you help me and my mother... Ms. Jing Qiu tell me that I really like this villa. Can I... buy it?"

He Zhizhou put all the materials into his briefcase, stood up, looked at her and said, "Okay, I'll pass it on for you."

Seeing that He Zhizhou was about to leave, Li Xuanbao hurriedly asked: "Zhizhou, now we have no psychological burden, and I have nothing, will you still love me?"

He Zhizhou sighed and said, "Xuanbao, we ended a long time ago. And you are not without anything. You still have a son and the inheritance from Yang Shihui. Those are enough for you to live a rich life."

Li Xuanbao looked at him with tears in her eyes: "But I still love you!"

He Zhizhou did not reply to her, but turned away without any regrets. No longer entangled, it was the best ending for them.

Li Xuanbao looked at He Zhizhou's back and let her tears fall. She had been pursuing him for so long, but in the end, it was all in vain.
