Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 182 - 12: The Real and Fake Heiress (12)

Wang Yuan was a bit dumbfounded.

He had been swindling and deceiving for years, all petty dealings, but he didn’t expect the collected information to be so detailed.

But what about the money? He was asking his own daughter for it. He never colluded with Li Yu to transfer the Li Family’s money.

No, that’s wrong, they had known about the child swap long ago.

Which means they were setting a trap for him.

Wang Yuan wanted to defend himself, but realized that even if he claimed the money was asked from Li Shuning, it was pointless. Why would Li Shuning give it to him?

You must know that Zhang Minrong had said, after secretly swapping the children back, the child was sent back to the Capital, and the family had told Li Shuning everything truthfully once she was mature enough to understand.

Moreover, the money was indeed spent by Wang Yuan and Li Yu.

The money was transferred from the Li Family’s card to Li Yu’s card.

Indeed, Wang Yuan’s defense was pointless; the evidence was all there. His defense only made his character appear more despicable.

Seeing Li Yu still looking bewildered, Wang Yuan sighed.

How could he have fallen for such a foolish woman back then?

If it weren’t for this woman, he wouldn’t have ended up here.

Clearly, he started with a good hand, yet let things deteriorate to this point. If Li Yu had treated the child better, the Li Family wouldn’t have noticed anything odd and gone for a paternity test, right?

Then perhaps today wouldn’t be like this.

Instead, their child is truly pitiful.

Wang Yuan didn’t say another word. People endured for years and erupted today—perhaps he foolishly thought he could use this situation to get Li Shuning’s help?

True, the legitimate governor’s daughter, yet he came to say he was her real dad and wanted her to take care of him.

Wang Yuan gave a bitter smile, all caused by greed.

Once the charges were established, Li Yu came to her senses.

She screamed, "What have I done wrong? I just wanted my child to live better, what have I done wrong? And isn’t Li Shuning living well?"

Hearing Li Yu dare to speak such words, Zhang Minrong sneered, "You want your child to live better, but what did my child do wrong? How dare you let her go hungry as a child? How dare you beat her? You want your child to live better, why don’t you work hard yourself instead of harming others’ children? Yes, my child is living well, but if you hadn’t poisoned her when she was three, would we have noticed something was wrong? If we hadn’t taken her away, who knows if she would’ve died by your hand, not starved to death, then beaten to death, right?"

"Yes, my child is living well, but that doesn’t mean what you’ve done was right. Your mistakes are there. Li Yu, ask yourself, how did I treat you back then? Without me, Zhang Minrong, you might have starved to death on the streets long ago. How did you repay me? Is your heart black? How dare you let my child live like that?"

Li Yu was speechless for a moment. Her face was quite a picture, turning from green to red.

When someone came to take her away, she suddenly started crying, Li Qinglan was always by her side, wasn’t he?

But what had she done?

She had personally made herself and her child irreconcilable, the two were not close at all.

Li Yu didn’t even think of the money mentioned by Zhang Minrong; she still thought it was Wang Yuan’s doing.

This matter stirred quite a commotion.

As victims, Li Qiong’s family received sympathy and even admiration—having their child stolen yet enduring for so many years, even not dismissing the babysitter, letting her live without worry.

If the babysitter hadn’t been so heartless, the Li Family might have let her continue working well there.

Governor Li indeed had a magnanimous heart; who could compare?

Originally thought to tarnish his reputation, in the eyes of the public, this event instead polished Li Qiong’s image.

Without a doubt, already with a chance for promotion, Li Qiong soon got promoted, directly transferred back to the Capital.

As for Li Qinglan, this incident led to her dismissal from the restaurant.

Though Li Qinglan was unaware of the past, having such parents left others unsure of her character.

Li Qinglan had neither education nor looks, eventually unable to make a living in Chun City, she had to leave, going to smaller cities.

Even leaving Chun City, she didn’t visit her parents, she truly couldn’t face them.

Regarding child swaps, even without them, with the Li Family’s attitude towards Li Yu, mightn’t she have lived well?

But now, her life was a mess.

In those small towns with less news, Li Qinglan worked in small restaurants washing dishes and such, low salary, young yet already haggard.

And in her heart, there was always Zeng Bin, although many men had pursued her.

But those men were nowhere comparable to Zeng Bin.

Once Li Qiong was promoted, the Zeng Family became increasingly enthusiastic.

Zeng Bin had initially thought Li Shuning was beautiful and intelligent, held some fondness, and his family kept urging him, so he began madly pursuing Li Shuning.

But Li Shuning remained cold towards him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Especially after the child swap incident was exposed by the media, Li Shuning surprisingly got together with that Yun Zimo from the Yun Family.

Zeng Bin was somewhat unwilling, but compared to the Yun Family, the Zeng Family was at a disadvantage.

Moreover, compared to Yun Zimo, Zeng Bin lacked that confidence.

Watching Li Shuning marry Yun Zimo, Zeng Bin felt something had been lost.

Only he would never know that once, the girl named Li Shuning actually loved him.

Eight years later, Li Yu was released from prison, she had watched TV in prison, knowing the Li Family’s favored daughter Li Shuning married Yun Family’s Yun Zimo.

It was said the Yun Family was even mightier than the Li Family.

Recalling how she once advised Li Shuning to be with Zeng Bin, she couldn’t help but feel distracted.

Was it that everything she thought was wrong?

Indeed, if it weren’t for her self-righteousness, how would she have lost her own child? Her daughter never visited her, she had permanently lost her.

Li Yu naturally couldn’t stay in Chun City; even in prison, she was given special attention.

In those years with the Li Family, she lived enjoyably and freely; in prison, she only suffered.

Her once jet-black hair had turned gray, her once plump body had become thin and gaunt.

After being released, Li Yu couldn’t find a job and had no money; all her previous fortunes had been compensated to the Li Family.

She wanted to return to her hometown but couldn’t.

Eventually, Li Yu starved to death on the roadside.

When Wang Yuan got out of prison, he was beyond recognition, yet barely survived.

In the end, he had to beg for a living under a bridge.

In this world, Li Shuning only used her power at the beginning; the later events, she didn’t interfere much.

Originally thought this world required cultivation for survival; unexpectedly, she met Yun Zimo, making her future in this world much more vivid.
