Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 177 - 7: The Real and Fake Heiress (Part 7)

Chapter 177: Chapter 7: The Real and Fake Heiress (Part 7)

Time flew by. The baby who was three years old back then had grown into a twenty-year-old young woman.

Li Shuning lived freely and fulfillingly in the Capital.

She showcased her intelligence and talent, skipping several grades in between. After all, Li Shuning wasn’t actually a child, and this world was quite similar to other modern worlds. Although the script was slightly different, they were more or less the same. Her spiritual power was strong, almost enabling her to remember everything she read.

Li Shuning had already attended college at the age of fifteen.

She skipped grades in college too and is now pursuing her master’s degree, which is about to end.

The Li Family treated Li Shuning exceptionally well, marveling at her intelligence.

Indeed, even in harsh conditions in her dreams, Li Shuning could enter college with outstanding results and intern at a major corporation, which was a testament to her capability.

As for Li Qinglan, though she went to school as well, she was painfully ignorant. Without the backing of the Li Family, she didn’t even get into college at nineteen. After repeating for a year, she still failed to get into a college at twenty.

So, genetic inheritance is quite important. That Li Yu, how laughable it was for her to try and pass as something she wasn’t.

Speaking of it, they hadn’t mistreated Li Qinglan, but mud can’t be plastered onto a wall.

After Li Shuning started elementary school, Li Zhongguo calmly told her about her background, which Li Shuning accepted without much fuss.

From then on, every New Year, Li Qiong and Zhang Minrong would return to the Capital for a reunion with Li Shuning.

Just like in her dreams, Zhang Minrong had another child.

This time, Zhang Minrong personally took care of the child, never letting Li Yu near Li Shuyu once.

When Li Shuyu was six, they sent him back to the Capital, partly as a precaution, as it’s safer to be there.

Moreover, it allowed Li Shuning and her brother to spend more time together and nurture their bond.

Li Qinglan was about to return to the Li Family, and Li Zhongguo had called over Li Shuning to discuss some of the family’s plans in detail, believing that with her intelligence, she would know what to do.

Li Qiong had a psychologist friend, with whom he had a strong relationship. Before Li Qinglan returned home, Li Qiong brought her to his friend. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After they came back out, the only thoughts left in Li Qinglan’s mind were that she was Li Shuning, the child of Li Yu.

Li Shuning also returned from the Capital to Chun City.

When Li Yu learned that Li Qinglan was returning, she was extremely excited.

As for Li Shuning’s return, she didn’t really bother to pay attention.

Over the years, she had even forgotten about the existence of Li Shuning.

Back when they sent Li Qinglan to school, Li Qiong intended for Zhang Minrong to take Li Yu and visit, but since it was a boarding school, they could only see from afar.

Thus, from such a distance, Li Yu couldn’t distinguish whether it was Li Shuning or Li Qinglan.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu was more shameless than they’d imagined; she even said she trusted Brother Li and Sister Zhang, and she was assured to leave the children with them.

The appearance of a three-year-old child had changed greatly over seventeen years, to the extent of bearing no resemblance, yet Li Yu had never visited, so naturally, she wouldn’t know what her daughter looked like.

At this point, Li Qinglan had already been hypnotized. She believed she was Li Shuning, and upon returning home with no one to welcome her, her eyes dimmed. Supposedly, the eldest young lady was also coming home that day. Were they all going to greet the eldest young lady, including her mother?

Sure enough, Zhang Minrong was heading to the airport to meet Li Niuniu, and Li Yu was going too. Zhang Minrong didn’t refuse her.

Li Qiong was busy with some matters. At this crucial juncture, he indeed had no spare time.

As soon as Li Niuniu emerged, Zhang Minrong, who had visited the Capital frequently over the years, saw her and immediately embraced her.

Li Yu, on the other hand, couldn’t recognize who this person in front of her might be.

She even thought it was her Li Qinglan.

No, she’d been renamed Li Niuniu by the old man. Clearly, Qinglan was such a nice name; how did it turn into Niuniu, which sounded so rustic?

Li Yu felt a bit proud; after all, she was her child, and she was so beautiful. She had heard Sister Zhang mention that Niuniu was already pursuing her master’s degree, which was truly impressive.

Her decision was right; look at Li Shuning—unable to even attend high school—if Niuniu had followed her, wouldn’t she also face a bleak future?

Fortunately, her child didn’t have to end up like her, working in the lowest echelons.

Li Yu also stepped forward, wanting to hug Niuniu like Sister Zhang did. After all, she was Niuniu’s mother.

However, as soon as Li Yu opened her arms, Li Niuniu lifted a hand, brushed her own hair back, and slightly turned her body to avoid Li Yu.

After a while, Li Niuniu looked at Li Yu with a smile, "This must be Aunt Li. I didn’t expect you to still look so young after all these years."

Li Yu smiled happily, "The young lady is the one who looks young and beautiful. I haven’t seen you for so many years, and I’ve truly missed you."

Li Niuniu only smiled and didn’t respond further.

She stepped forward and took Zhang Minrong’s arm, "Mom, when Grandpa asked me to come here, I could hardly believe it. Niuniu has missed you and Dad so much all these years. Are you and Dad doing well?"

Zhang Minrong affectionately patted the back of Li Niuniu’s hand, "Dad and Mom have missed you too. It’s good that you’re back, our family is together again."

Following behind, Li Yu felt both envious and jealous. That was her child, they should’ve been that close.

As the car drove back to the Li Family residence, Li Qinglan stood at the door, enviously looking at the beautiful lady. Her own looks were plain and unremarkable, even her figure was like dried string beans, and being a maid’s daughter who couldn’t get into college, what could her future be?

Li Niuniu was indeed fortunate, having a good family background, such looks, intelligence, and not having to toil for a living.

As she watched everyone surround Li Shuning like a star with myriad support, Li Qinglan silently returned to the room in the back courtyard.

Li Qinglan’s heart was filled with pain. She had no impressions of her mother, but for someone who could just ignore her existence for seventeen years, leaving her to perish at school, what could she hope from such a mother?

This mother was even nicer to the eldest young lady than to her.

The next day, Li Qinglan planned to look for a job. She didn’t want to stay here any longer. The aloof mother, the incompatible environment, and the eminent young lady all made her feel inferior.

Having only graduated high school, she naturally couldn’t find a good job. But Li Qinglan’s aspirations weren’t for something lowly, like waiting tables, so eventually, she returned home.

Upon returning home and passing through the front courtyard, she saw her mother flatteringly following behind the eldest young lady, who only gave her a cold shoulder.

Yet, her mother, oblivious to her stance, still trailed behind the eldest young lady.

Li Qinglan only felt deeply ashamed.

That same day, Li Yu returned to the back courtyard, and Li Qinglan quarreled with her.
