As soon as Zhang Li entered, she saw Jing Yuan sitting in the living room and playing with her cell phone. The house was very warm. Actually, she could wear short sleeves, but Jing Yuan never wore short sleeves. At this moment, she rolled up her long sleeves above her elbows. When she heard the door open, she quickly lowered her sleeves, looking guilty.
Zhang Li was not in the mood to pay attention to this now. She just sized Jing Yuan up steadily.
Jing Yuan saw a document bag in Zhang Li’s hand and thought that she had persuaded Liang Xun to return Jingxuan to them.
She hurriedly rushed over and snatched the document bag. Then, she opened it happily. She did not even notice Zhang Li’s red and swollen eyes.
“Mom, you’re amazing. You can really persuade Liang Xun.” Jing Yuan opened the document bag. Her expression froze when she saw the contents.
She happened to be holding a paternity test. The words “not biologically related” were clearly printed on Zhang Li and her paternity test.
At this moment, Jing Mo heard Jing Yuan’s cheers and came down from the bedroom upstairs.
“What did Liang Xun say?” Jing Mo noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Li, but he did not think too much about it. He asked the question he was most concerned about first.
Zhang Li stared at him. Upon hearing this, she smiled. Her smile was very strange. “Oh, he praised you for being good at naming and for being loyal. Jingxuan, what a good name. 1 used to think that you were a wooden person who didn’t know romance. It seems like 1 was wrong. You’re actually quite romantic.”
Jing Mo’s expression changed slightly. He frowned and said, “What are you talking about?”
Zhang Li sneered. “Jing Mo, ask yourself honestly. How did 1 treat you? Back then, 1 didn’t hesitate to fall out with my family and marry you. After that, 1 helped you start a business wholeheartedly. Would your Jingxuan have succeeded without me taking the money? But how did you repay me? 1 was blind back then, so 1 deserved to be deceived by you. But what did Yaoyao do wrong? Isn’t she your daughter? Why are you so heartless?”
At the mention of Jing Yao, Jing Mo looked a little uncomfortable. He indeed didn’t have any feelings for Jing Yao when she was born. It could even be said that he hated Zhang Li and Jing Yao.
He wondered why the woman he loved could only lie in a cold grave when Zhang Li and Jing Yao were alive and well. He had always felt guilty towards Jing Yuan because she had lost her biological mother when she was born.
Jing Yuan was standing at the side, looking flustered and helpless. However, she walked to Jing Mo’s side and stood still when she heard Zhang Li mention Jing Yao. She looked at Zhang Li and said, “Don’t make it sound like all the fault is on my father. All these years, you’ve had many chances to get close to Jing Yao. When Jing Yao was first brought back, she kept wanting to get close to you. It was you who despised Jing Yao and said that you couldn’t believe that you gave birth to such a daughter, who was just like a little beggar. Hence, you’ve been neglecting Jing Yao and saying that she’ll only make you think of unhappy things and suffer. You said all that.”
Zhang Li staggered backward and looked at Jing Yuan in disbelief. “Yuanyuan, haven’t I treated you well all these years? 1’11 give you whatever you want, but you kept it from me and went to see that woman with your father. Are you worthy of me?”
Jing Yuan laughed crazily and said fiercely, “You owe me all this. You’re just a third-party who snatched my father away with your family background. My parents are so in love with each other. If it weren’t for you, he would have been by my mother’s side when she was pregnant with me and taken good care of her. My mother wouldn’t have died.”
Zhang Li’s mind went blank. Jing Yuan had always been obedient and cute in front of her and liked to wheedle with her. She did not expect Jing Yuan to hate her.
Jing Mo was also a little moved by Jing Yuan’s words. He said in a low voice, “Zhang Li, 1 don’t owe you anything. All these years, you haven’t given up and have been investing everywhere. You’ve basically failed in all of your investments. I was the one who made up for that money. I’ve long returned the money you invested in Jingxuan to you. I’ve already let Xuan Ling down because of you.”
Zhang Li glared at Jing Mo. “Why didn’t you say that you had a girlfriend before you got married to me?”
Jing Mo pursed his lips and remained silent. Xuan Ling was his first girlfriend. She was the woman he liked the most and the only woman he had ever liked.
After he married Zhang Li, he contacted Xuan Ling again. At that time, Jingxuan had just started and he still needed Zhang Li’s support, so he could not ask for a divorce.
Later on, Zhang Li and Xuan Ling got pregnant almost at the same time. He discussed with Xuan Ling and made Zhang Li think that she was pregnant with twins. At that time, their daughter would be able to legitimately get Jingxuan..
