Chapter 367 Double Standards Played to the Max
Chapter 367 Double Standards Played to the Max
The Li family members were speechless with anger, and Du Anrao also couldn't understand why Li Qianxi could be so self-righteous.
Did she accidentally blurt out her true feelings? All she really wants is the inheritance her fourth sister's parents left her? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was their biological daughter. Has living in a rented apartment for so long made her think she's no longer an outsider?
And the things she said to Uncle Li and Aunt Li were so offensive, even I, an outsider, couldn't stand them. What kind of nonsense is this, labeling someone with such excessive praise? What's the difference between this and saying, "If you didn't hit them, why did you help them up?" Uncle Li's family is being treated so unfairly! They're just a bunch of innocent victims who put in so much money and effort and get nothing in return.
The Li family members were still angry about Li Qianxi's false accusation, but after hearing Du Anrao's words, their anger subsided considerably.
Yes, their family was indeed wronged, and they certainly seemed like innocent victims, but it wasn't their fault!
"Since you've brought up my second brother and sister-in-law, and the inheritance they left behind, I really have to clarify things with you in front of all these people today."
It's clear that Li's father is truly furious this time and is really prepared to show Li Qianxi no mercy whatsoever.
“You say we intend to seize the assets my brother and sister-in-law left to our children, but the fact is you only came of age at the end of last year. Before that, all of my brother and sister-in-law’s assets were held in custody by their guardians, namely my wife and me. There are laws and regulations governing this, and I, Li, have a clear conscience. No one can say a bad word about us no matter where we are.”
"Before you came of age, our family unexpectedly learned that you were not my brother and sister-in-law's biological daughter at all, but a fake daughter who had been replaced by someone with ulterior motives. We set things right and took back my brother and sister-in-law's biological daughter. The inheritance they left behind should naturally be inherited by their biological daughter."
Upon hearing this, Du Yuxi immediately stepped forward to support her uncle: "I can testify to this. On the day of my birthday banquet, my uncle and aunt came to me, hoping that I could acknowledge my ancestors and return to the family. In the following month, I frequently traveled between the two places to hand over the inheritance left to me by my parents. All of these things were handed over three months ago. If you are really curious, you can check it out. I don't mind, and I believe my uncle won't mind either."
Mr. Li immediately replied, "I have a clear conscience and have never done anything wrong. I am not afraid of being investigated."
"You, you're all in cahoots now. How can you believe her? And even if they really transferred those assets to her, so what? She's only a few years old. How can she manage so many businesses? In the end, wouldn't she still need her family's help? To put it bluntly, she's just a puppet, a target in the open, just fooling people. Even if they really did that, it doesn't prove that they're sincere towards her."
Du Anrao was genuinely amused by her unreasonable and irrational behavior: "Miss Wang, please get this straight, they are the real family. If they're not on the same side, why would they be on the same side as an outsider like you?"
"And you know my fourth sister is young, but you're only a day or two older than her. Uncle Li and the others didn't hand over the business to you before you came of age because they were coveting your inheritance. But when they handed it over to my fourth sister after she came of age, it became that they were using her as a puppet. You're really good at playing the double standard as always."
Li Qianxi's expression stiffened slightly, and she almost instinctively retorted, "No, that's not what I meant."
"So what do you mean? You've said both the right and wrong sides of this story, but all you're saying is that you feel like the cooked duck has flown away, and the inheritance that was about to be yours has gone to someone else. You're resentful, so you're finding fault with everything. If this inheritance doesn't end up in your hands, then there's definitely a problem."
"I didn't..." "You didn't, you didn't spend all your time eyeing whether other people's businesses had been transferred to someone else, you didn't go looking for trouble about whether other people's blood relatives were in cahoots?"
Du Anrao said, "Miss Wang, please get this straight. Your surname is Wang, not Li. No matter how much you miss the past and how hard you try to hold on to what you used to have, you can't change this fact."
"Whether it's the Li family or their assets, the moment your identity is revealed, they have nothing to do with you anymore. Even if Uncle Li and the others don't hand over the inheritance, even if they really have conflicts with Fourth Sister in private, that's their business and has nothing to do with you, an outsider."
Li Qianxi remained silent, but her gaze swept over Du Anrao and Du Yuxi, her face full of resentment.
Du Anrao saw her little actions and suddenly remembered that when this person had tried to sow discord between her and her fourth sister not long ago, she had mentioned Du Yuxi and the Du family's property. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he seemed to understand something all of a sudden.
"You didn't hear that even though my fourth sister has been recognized as a member of the Li family and received the property left to her by her biological parents, she hasn't truly left our Du family and is still a member of our Du family. She will also be able to inherit a share of the Du family's property in the future. So you naturally assume that the Li family should treat you the same way our family treats our fourth sister and give you a share of the property, right?"
Li Qianxi's expression changed slightly, and her eyes began to wander unconsciously.
Seeing this, the Du family members understood immediately; they were truly amused and annoyed by this man's shamelessness.
The Li family was also quite shocked. They couldn't understand how the child they had watched grow up could have become so shameless, hypocritical, and selfish. Where exactly did things go wrong?
"No, you really think that way? I won't say anything else, I'll just ask you one question, are you worthy?"
"Does Du Yuxi deserve it?"
"Of course she deserves it! Because we love her, and she loves us. We're willing to treat her like family and pay for her future. But what about you? The Li family loves you, but do you love them?"
"If you loved them, you wouldn't have had Li Yuesheng kidnapped just to become the only eldest daughter of the Li family, nor would you have secretly watched Li Zhaoyang's wife and children who were living outside after being kicked out of the Li family, trying to kidnap them to extort money from the Li family."
Du Anrao met Li Qianxi's resentful gaze, tapped her chest again, and said sharply, "Get this straight: everything you've enjoyed over the years has been stolen. Now, it's just a halt, not revenge. It's already the Li family's kindness to take it back."
"As for whether they will still accept you after everyone goes back to their original places, maintain the original family relationship, and pamper and love you as before, it can only be said that accepting is a matter of kindness, and not accepting is their right. Do you think that the Li family still has any kindness towards you after what you did before? Therefore, the current situation is entirely your own fault, and you deserve it. You have no one else to blame!"
