Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 39 My conscience still aches.

Su Xiuyun muttered, "How could your dad be such a scoundrel..."

They had initially thought that, after all, he was Li Sui's biological father.

Regardless of what Li Ping is thinking inside, it should be up to Li Sui to decide whether or not to acknowledge this father.

It now seems that Li Sui doesn't want to acknowledge her biological father either.

Li Jiashan snorted coldly: "Well said! Your father was shameless before. I advised your mother not to marry him, but she wouldn't listen!"

These old stories inevitably come up in passing.

Li Ping had her own grievances, and Li Jiashan also harbored some resentment towards his daughter.

Li Sui quickly said, "Oh, Grandpa, you can't say that. Mom really liked me when she got married. If she hadn't married me, I wouldn't be so beautiful and intelligent. Every cloud has a silver lining."

Upon hearing this, Li Ping couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Jiashan and Su Xiuyun were comforted by what was said.

The granddaughter seems quite clever and bright, and all these years have passed anyway.

Su Xiuyun looked at Li Sui with genuine heartache and glanced at him up and down. "Oh dear, you're such a sensible child. I wonder how much you've suffered. Come here, Cheng, take out the box that Mom prepared."

They brought quite a lot of things with them this time.

Li Cheng quickly replied, "Okay."

He took out a beautifully packaged gift box and handed it to Su Xiuyun. Li Jiashan said, "Over the years, your grandparents can only try their best to make it up to you. Please accept this small gift."

Li Sui didn't refuse, took it, and opened the box.

A jade bracelet, emerald green without a single blemish, as green as still water and dazzlingly green, caught Li Sui's eye.

To be honest, Li Sui doesn't know much about jade, but he knows this material looks expensive, especially expensive.

And it's such a green bracelet.

Even the medicated oil she bought wouldn't dare be this green!

She was certain it wasn't ordinary material, because when the box was opened, she saw Yang Ningyu's eyes widen in disbelief the moment he saw the jade bracelet.

Clearly, this was a jade bracelet that even a wealthy woman like Yang Ningyu would be tempted by, and she probably never expected that her mother-in-law would give it to her granddaughter.

Li Lingling was also stunned and subconsciously glanced at her mother.

But Yang Ningyu's eyes were still fixed on the jade bracelet.

Li Sui didn't even dare to ask the price, otherwise she was afraid she would tremble when she held the bracelet.

After receiving it, she said with some emotion, "Grandma, this is too precious."

People will think I'm carrying a fake if I take this green one out.

"No matter how valuable something is, how can it be as valuable as you?"

Su Xiuyun stroked Li Sui's face again and said something unexpected: "Actually, we prepared something else for you. This jade bracelet was bought for you by your aunt from abroad."

Li Sui was stunned for a moment: "Huh? My aunt gave it to me?"

Li Ping, who was standing next to her, also paused: "Mom, did my eldest sister take this picture?"

Su Xiuyun glanced at Li Ping: "It's your older sister."

Li Ping's expression suddenly became complicated.

She looked at the jade bracelet, not out of envy, but as if she were deep in thought.

Li Sui had a gut feeling that there were stories he didn't know about.

This aunt actually gave me such an expensive gift?

Her previous speculations were somewhat petty!

Yang Ningyu finally couldn't help but ask, "Mom, could this be the bracelet that my sister-in-law bought at the Fran trade fair last year?"

Su Xiuyun nodded: "Yes."

Li Lingling suddenly spoke up: "No wonder Sister Wen said that Auntie bought a very rare bracelet, and she wanted it, but Auntie said she was keeping it to give away and didn't give it to her..."

She had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized something and shut her mouth. Li Sui: ?
Huh, you took these photos last year to give as gifts?
Now it's been given to myself.

Was it not given away, or did she plan to leave the bracelet to Li Sui last year?
But at that time, the Li family didn't know...

Thinking of this, Li Sui looked at Li Ping again.

Those present weren't fools; they instantly discerned something.

Su Xiuyun and Li Jiashan immediately looked somewhat embarrassed.

Yang Ningyu whispered her daughter's name: "Lingling!"

Li Lingling was actually a little confused; she just blurted it out subconsciously, not knowing what was going on.

Now that they've realized it, could it be that my aunt and the others already knew about Li Sui's existence?

Unexpectedly, Li Ping took a bite of the apple and bluntly stated, "What can't be said? The Li family has known about your existence for a long time, including your dead father."

She said this to Li Sui.

Li Sui actually understood.

Wen Haotian arrived too quickly; he rushed to Xia City to see Li Sui as soon as he received the news that Li Ping had returned to the Li family.

It was as if they had received some kind of hint.

I didn't expect Li Sui to act out of the usual way.

She had long suspected that Wen Haotian might have known about her existence.

The fact that Li Ping was able to get a job from the Li family when she came to Xia City pregnant proves that the Li family was investigating her.

It's highly unlikely that Wen Haotian didn't know.

They simply didn't come to find Li Sui for some reason.

Su Xiuyun and Li Jiashan were surprised that Li Ping had spoken so directly, and looked at Li Sui with embarrassed expressions: "Sui Sui, we didn't mean to not come to find you sooner..."

“I know,” Li Sui said casually. “You’re just afraid to come because you’re worried about upsetting my mom.”

Now that Li Ping has taken the initiative to go back, they see it as a sign of breaking the ice and making peace.

That's why I dared to come.

The elderly couple felt even more guilty.

Because it's his own daughter, he doesn't dare to come and see his granddaughter.

They were also afraid that their granddaughter might have some ulterior motives.

Yang Ningyu was somewhat surprised.

If Li Sui guessed these things, could she not blame her mother?
She could have enjoyed over twenty years of wealth and luxury.

Li Jiashan was still a little angry. He hadn't expected his granddaughter to guess these things. He couldn't help but look at Li Ping and say, "Look what you've done!"

Li Ping turned her face away.

Li Sui put the bracelet back into the box and carefully put it away. Then she stood up and smiled at Li Jiashan, saying, "Grandpa, you don't need to blame Mother. I won't blame her. Someone has to understand her."

Su Xiuyun and Li Jiashan were both stunned.

At this moment, Su Xiuyun also felt relieved about Li Ping's decision to raise their daughter outside the home for so many years.

Fortunately, her daughter raised a good daughter.

The rest of the Li family looked at Li Sui with disbelief.

They seemed to have a hard time understanding Li Sui's logic.

Li Sui shook the box and blinked, "This is too valuable. I'll keep it for myself first. Thank you for the gift."

She took the box inside and put it in her room first.

After walking inside, Li Ping watched her retreating figure and took a big bite out of the apple.

"His sudden ability to speak so fluently has made my conscience bother me."
