Chapter 36: Evil Worms and Fake Gold (6)
"Mom, I'm fine. It's Xiaoqing who was bullied."
Meng Ting's face immediately turned stern when he heard this, and he started to scold Li Qing, "You've only been in school for a few days, and you've already gotten into a fight?"
Lu Changqing felt helpless: "Mom, it was Xiaoqing who was bullied, not her who fought with others."
"Why are you being bullied?"
"That person looked down on Xiaoqing's status. I don't know where he heard the gossip that Xiaoqing was our adopted daughter. He called her unsophisticated and thought that our family wouldn't care about her and bullied her whenever they wanted." Lu Changqing added fuel to the fire and said, "By the way, that person's father seems to be a project manager of one of our branches. Maybe he bullied Xiaoqing at the behest of his father."
While talking, Lu Changqing paid attention to Meng Ting's expression. Seeing that the other party's eyes were a little evasive, she felt something was wrong. "Mom, you and Dad are not going to tell others that Xiaoqing was adopted by you, right?"
Meng Ting looked a little embarrassed, his eyes darting around, and he was obviously a man who would not lie, "That's not true, don't think about it."
Now there was nothing that Lu Changqing didn't understand. She had been trying hard to make the Li family accept Li Qing, a child who was not outstanding in their eyes. Unexpectedly, what was supposed to happen still happened.
There is such a thing in the plot. Because Li's father claimed to others that Li Qing was their adopted child, under the influence of the original owner, the people in the school bullied Li Qing even harder. They bullied her for more than two years, but Li Qing managed to survive.
Lu Changqing knew that it was useless to tell Meng Ting about this. Although she was the mistress of the family, her status in the Li family was actually not as high as that of Li Yanchen who was far away in Country A.
Lu Changqing had checked the injuries on Li Qing's body before. The bruises looked a bit scary, but they were actually nothing serious. However, she still asked Meng Ting to take Li Qing to a nearby hospital for examination.
When the mother and daughter came back, Li's father had already arrived home. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Meng Ting, "I heard from Aunt Wang at home that Xiaoqing had a fight with someone at school. What happened?"
Lu Changqing stood up and repeated what he had said to Meng Ting before, and finally concluded again: "Jiang Ji was the one who bullied me first, so I took action."
When Father Li heard the name Jiang Ji, he felt that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he frowned and looked at Li Qing, "Don't you know how to fight back when you are bullied?"
In front of Li's father, Li Qing became the timid child hiding in the corner again, "They are more in number, I can't beat them."
Father Li really didn't like Li Qing's timid look. He looked like he had seen a ferocious beast, afraid that he would eat her. He didn't know how the He family taught him to have such a temper.
"You can't beat him, so how did your sister beat him?"
Father Li wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lu Changqing, "Dad, it's obviously Jiang Ji's fault, how can you blame your sister?"
I am really impressed. He is in his forties and still doesn't know how to be a father. No, he is too good at being a father, so he can't play the role of a father well.
"My sister's birthday is coming soon. Why don't we hold a party on her birthday and announce that my sister has been found. This way, my sister won't be bullied at school anymore."
Before Li's father expressed his opinion, Meng Ting was the first to disagree. "How can this be done? Everyone knows that I only had one daughter. If I announce your sister's identity in front of so many people, what will you do? You have been my biological daughter for sixteen years. How will they look at you then?"
"Mom, I don't care about these. Even if we are not related by blood, am I not your and Dad's daughter?" Lu Changqing said, looking at Li's father and continued, "Dad, Mom, I know you treat me well. Even after my sister came back, you were afraid that I would think you had a biological daughter and no longer love me. You were afraid that I would lose my sense of security at home, so you doubled your care for me. I am really very grateful to you, but is it fair to my sister? She is your biological daughter!"
"After my sister came back, I secretly tried to find out what her life was like in the He family. To be honest, I never thought that there would be such a family that favors boys over girls, and that there are still girls living such a hard life today."
What Lu Changqing said was half true and half false. What he said about never thinking that there are still families in the world that favor boys over girls is pure nonsense. The Li family's preference for boys over girls is no less than that of the He family. This can be seen from the plot that Li's father arranged for the original body to study art, and immediately arranged a marriage after he returned to China after completing his art studies.
Why did he let the original body study art? To prevent her from joining the Li family's company and getting involved in the Li family's business.
Why arrange a marriage? In order to climb up the Gu family, sacrificing a daughter is not a big deal for Li's father.
Lu Changqing can see from the plot what kind of person Li's father is, a businessman who can sacrifice others without hesitation for his own interests. In the eyes of such a person, no one in the world is more important than himself.
If they were to be ranked, he would be first, then wealth and status would be second, followed by incense and offerings, and as for his wife and daughter, only his wife and daughter are the ones who can bring him benefits.
Although she knew that Li's father was a scum, she still couldn't turn against him. A good background could help people avoid many detours. Lu Changqing would not be so impulsive as to challenge Li's father, at least now when she and Li Qing still needed the big ship of the Li family to escort their lives.
"You think that my sister's personality is not good enough and her grades are not good enough. In fact, in my opinion, my sister has grown up to this age in such a family environment and successfully entered high school. She is already very impressive. If it were me, I would probably have died long ago."
In order to make the play more realistic, Lu Changqing's eyes turned red. "I have thought a lot these days since my sister came back. Compared with me, she is the one who needs the most care from her family. When I was enjoying myself at home, she was suffering for me. I always felt that it was all my fault, so I want to be twice as good to my sister. At the same time, I also hope that my parents can be good to my sister."
"Mom and Dad are both good parents. They treat me, a daughter who is not related to them by blood, as their own. So shouldn't they love their biological daughter, my sister, even more?"
She didn't know whether Lu Changqing's words moved Li's father, but they moved Meng Ting and Li Qing so much that their tears fell to the ground.
Meng Ting cried and hugged Lu Changqing, "Good boy, Mom said it was not your fault, why are you still taking the blame on yourself?"
Father Li looked at the three mother and daughter hugging each other and crying without showing any emotion on their faces, but he was somewhat touched in his heart. He used to think that Mianmian was too spoiled and had a bad temper, but now it seems that after this incident, the child has grown up, and at least she has understood a lot about the ways of the world, but her habit of always interrupting is not very good.
