The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 78 Being Scorned

"Long time no see, sister." Li Luoyao took off her sunglasses and raised a bitter smile. Looking at the familiar face in front of me, my thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the past. Five years ago, it was she who took away everything from me and pushed me into the abyss. But now, she appeared in front of me as a victim. This huge contrast made me feel dizzy.

"Why are you here?" I suppressed the turmoil in my heart and tried to make my tone sound calm.

"Why, you don't welcome me, sister?" Li Luoyao chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "I came to see you and see how 'happy' you are now."

She emphasized the word "happiness" deliberately, her eyes full of resentment and jealousy. I avoided her gaze and looked out the window, trying to calm my flustered emotions.

"What do you want to do?" Zhong Yuxuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke with a cold tone and stared at Li Luoyao sharply.

"I don't mean anything. I just came to see my good sister. By the way..." Li Luoyao paused deliberately and took out a file bag from her bag, "Send her something."

I looked at the file bag in confusion, and an ominous premonition came over me.

"What is this?" Zhong Yuxuan took the file bag and asked vigilantly.

“Just open it and you’ll know.” Li Luoyao crossed her arms over her chest, looking like she was enjoying a good show.

Zhong Yuxuan opened the file bag, took out the documents inside, quickly glanced through them, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"What does this mean?" He slammed the document on the table, his tone full of anger.

"What do you mean? This is important evidence about my sister's life experience." Li Luoyao said proudly, as if she was holding a trump card. "Over the years, I have been investigating the truth of that year, and now, I finally found it."

My heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight into my heart. Could it be that she discovered something?

"That's enough!" I couldn't keep calm any longer. I stood up suddenly and glared at Li Luoyao. "What do you want?"

"What do I want? I just want everyone to see your true colors!" Li Luoyao stood up, pointed at me, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "You are not the daughter of the Li family, you are not qualified to enjoy all this!"

Her voice was sharp and piercing, like a sharp blade, piercing my heart fiercely. My body was about to fall, Zhong Yuxuan held me up and looked at me worriedly.

"Luo Xue, don't listen to her nonsense." He comforted me softly, his tone gentle but firm.

I knew that at this moment, I couldn't panic, let alone fall down. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

"You said I am not the daughter of the Li family. What evidence do you have?" I looked straight into Li Luoyao's eyes and asked word by word.

"Evidence? Of course there is!" Li Luoyao sneered and took out a USB flash drive from her bag, "Everything you want to know is in it!" The USB flash drive was slammed on the table, and Li Luoyao's arrogant eyes swept back and forth between me and Zhong Yuxuan, as if she was enjoying a good show. I suppressed the surging emotions in my heart and told myself to stay calm. Li Luoyao's words were like a stone, stirring up thousands of waves in my heart. Over the years, I have never given up looking for my biological parents. Could it be that Li Luoyao really found some clues?

At this time, the door of the study was pushed open, and Zhong Yuxuan's father, Zhong Shuhao, walked in. When he saw the scene in the room, his brows slightly frowned, and his eyes fell on me with a bit of scrutiny and inquiry.

"Dad, why are you here?" Zhong Yuxuan stood up and asked.

Zhong Shuhao didn't answer. He walked straight to the sofa and sat down, staring at me sharply, "Luo Xue, is what Luo Yao said true?"

My heart tightened. Zhong Shuhao has always treated me as his own son, but at this moment, there was a hint of suspicion and alienation in his tone, which made me feel extremely panicked and helpless.

"Uncle, you trust an outsider and don't you trust me?" I suppressed the grievance in my heart and tried to make my tone sound calm.

"I just want to know the truth." Zhong Shuhao's tone left no room for doubt.

I looked at Zhong Yuxuan, hoping he would say something, but he just held my hand tightly, with a complicated look in his eyes, but said nothing.

"The truth is, she is not the daughter of the Li family at all!" Li Luoyao took advantage of the opportunity to say something sarcastic, "She is just a wild child who was taken away by mistake. She has no right to inherit anything from the Li family!"

"That's enough!" Zhong Yuxuan stood up suddenly and glared at Li Luoyao, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"I just want to expose her true face!" Li Luoyao hit back without showing any weakness.

"Shut up! It's not your turn to speak here!" Zhong Shuhao shouted harshly, and Li Luoyao closed her mouth unwillingly.

"Luo Xue, go back to your room and rest first." Zhong Shuhao's tone softened a little, but his eyes were still cold.

I understand that it is useless to say anything at this moment. I need time to prove myself. I looked at Zhong Yuxuan deeply, turned around and left the study.

Back in the room, I collapsed on the bed, my mind in a mess. Li Luoyao's words were like a thorn, piercing deep into my heart. Could it be that I am really not the daughter of the Li family?

I opened the drawer and took out a yellowed photo of a young couple with bright smiles and loving eyes. This is the only memory I have of my parents, and I have kept it in my heart, hoping to find them one day.

I held the photo tightly, tears silently falling. If I was not the daughter of the Li family, then who was I? Where were my biological parents? Are they okay?

Countless questions swirled in my mind, making me feel extremely confused and scared. I decided to investigate all this myself. I wanted to find the truth, even if it was cruel and ruthless! I locked myself in the room and let my tears flow freely. Li Luoyao's words echoed in my ears again and again, like a sharp knife, tearing apart the peaceful life I had built for myself over the years. Am I really a rootless duckweed, a poor creature teased by fate?

“Knock knock knock—” There was a knock on the door. I hurriedly wiped away my tears, took a deep breath, and tried to make my voice sound calm. “Please come in.”

"It's me." Zhong Yuxuan pushed the door open and walked in. He walked over to sit next to me and gently hugged me in his arms. "Don't cry, I'll take care of everything."

His warm embrace made me feel a little safe. I buried my head in his chest, greedily absorbing his warmth.

"I believe you." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was low and firm. "Li Luoyao's words are not credible. I will find out everything."

I raised my head and looked at him with tearful eyes, "Yuxuan, I'm really scared..."

"Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side." Zhong Yuxuan gently wiped away the tears from my eyes, "I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."

His words were like a ray of light, illuminating the haze in my heart. I knew that no matter what happened, I would face it bravely, because I had him, and that was enough.

In the next few days, Zhong Yuxuan stayed by my side, comforting me while secretly investigating Li Luoyao's background. I saw determination and resoluteness in his eyes, and I knew that he would find out the truth and give me justice.

I was not idle either. I started to sort out the scattered clues about my life that I had collected over the years. I remember that when I was very young, I had a dream. In the dream, there was a woman wearing a white dress, standing under a tree full of white flowers. She smiled at me gently, and then she slowly walked away. No matter how hard I chased her, I couldn't touch her.

I still remember that when I was a child, I always liked to collect some beautiful stones. Every time I saw stones with strange shapes, I would have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if I had seen them somewhere before.

I pieced these fragmented memories together, but I still couldn't get a complete answer. I had a hunch that my life experience was far more complicated than I thought.

One night, I accidentally discovered a dilapidated cabin in the woods where I often played when I was a child. I had never been inside and didn't know who lived inside. I walked in for some unknown reason, and a musty smell hit my nose. I covered my nose and saw a dusty wooden box in the corner of the room in the faint moonlight.

I curiously opened the box and found a diary and some old photos inside. I opened the diary, the paper was yellowed and the handwriting was a little blurry. I carefully identified it and found that the owner of the diary was a woman named "Lin Wan".

The contents of the diary shocked me. I realized that this cabin actually hid a shocking secret...

I closed the diary, and a storm of emotions surged in my heart. It turned out that Lin Wan was mine... At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came, and I hurriedly stuffed the diary and photos back into the box.

"Luo Xue, are you in there?" Zhong Yuxuan's voice came from outside the door. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and then opened the door.

"What's wrong?" I asked calmly.

Zhong Yuxuan's expression was somewhat serious. "Li Luoyao is here and wants to see you by name."

My heart suddenly sank, and a bad feeling came over me. I knew that Li Luoyao's purpose of coming here was definitely not simple, and she must have come with bad intentions.

I followed Zhong Yuxuan to the living room. Li Luoyao was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea elegantly. When she saw me come in, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Oh, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Li family? How come you finally decided to come out after hiding in the countryside for so long?" Li Luoyao said sarcastically, her tone full of disdain.

I suppressed my anger and looked at her coldly, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? I just want to see how the orphan who was abandoned back then is doing now." Li Luoyao stood up, walked in front of me, and looked down at me. "But it seems that you are not doing well either. How pitiful."

Every word she said was like a needle, piercing my heart. I clenched my fists, my nails digging deeply into my flesh, but I didn't feel any pain.

"Li Luoyao, don't go too far!" Zhong Yuxuan on the side couldn't stand it anymore. He protected me behind him and warned coldly.

"Why, Mr. Zhong, are you feeling bad?" Li Luoyao smiled contemptuously, "I advise you to take good care of your woman and don't let her come out and embarrass herself."

Zhong Yuxuan was about to explode, but I stopped him. I shook my head at him, signaling him not to be impulsive.

"Li Luoyao, what do you want to say?" I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "If you are here to show off, then you can leave now. You are not welcome here."

"Hmph, don't be so proud." Li Luoyao snorted coldly, "I came here this time to bring you a gift."

As she spoke, she took out a document packet from her bag and threw it in front of me, "Take a good look at it yourself."

I picked up the file bag with doubt, opened it, and the contents inside shocked me...
