Chapter 241 -241: Drive Away
Inside the study.
Xi Wanlin saw her parents sitting solemnly in front of the desk, staring at her intently.
She couldn’t help but feel nervous.
For so many years, her parents had never spoken to her with such formality.
“Mom, Dad,” Xi Wanlin managed to squeeze out a faint smile, “what’s going on? Did you call me here because you have something to tell me?”
Xi Huarong stared directly at her, causing her scalp to tingle.
She vaguely guessed what it might be about.
Li Shirui looked at her and asked, “Linlin, when did you find out?”
“What, what did I find out?” Xi Wanlin was desperately struggling.
As long as they didn’t spell it out, neither would she.
After all, she had been their daughter in this family for so many years, there must still be affection, they couldn’t possibly send her away.
Li Shirui looked at her helplessly: “The last time you went to Guang City, you went to see Su Qiang, didn’t you?”
Xi Wanlin’s whole body shuddered, then felt her entire body go limp.
So it couldn’t be hidden after all?
She looked again at Xi Huarong and Li Shirui, who, despite usually appearing amiable, could turn stern once their boundaries were crossed.
Especially Xi Huarong, with his thunder-like tactics, a man who had infiltrated the underworld for three years, was not one to be trifled with.
Since she could no longer keep it a secret, Xi Wanlin could only be honest: “Mom, Dad, I did indeed meet him.”
Xi Huarong sat in front of the desk, one hand pointing at the table, “When did you find out that you were not our biological daughter?”
In this manner, he was like questioning a prisoner.
Xi Wanlin’s nose tingled, such an unfamiliar father.
Was she no longer his daughter upon discovery?
“I… I only found out after meeting Su Meixi, that Su Qiang is my biological father. Before that, I… I only suspected because I occasionally found out in middle school that our blood types were inconsistent, but at that time I loved you too much and selfishly wanted to stay with you, so I didn’t tell you.”
Li Shirui asked, “The day you fell down the stairs, was it intentional? And the day you went to the hospital, your car ran out of gas and rear-ended someone, all of that was deliberate, right?”
“Mom, Dad,” Xi Wanlin cried, “I know I was wrong, but I really love you guys, and I don’t want to leave you.”
Xi Wanlin felt that now that she was grown up and capable of taking care of herself, she couldn’t possibly go back to Su Qiang.

Unbeknownst to her, Xi Huarong couldn’t tolerate such a thing happening, and he said indifferently, “With such things happening, it’s not your fault, after all, you were just an infant at the time, but you shouldn’t have kept us in the dark after knowing the truth. I heard Xiao Xi suffered a lot during her middle school years, if we had known earlier, we could have taken her back.
Also, tomorrow I will have someone remove your household registration. You can transfer it to Su Qiang’s house, or you can move it to your own place.”
Xi Wanlin suddenly looked up, too shocked to accept such a reality, “Dad, but I want to stay by your side, I will stay by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life.”
Xi Huarong shook his head, “I know you are a filial child, we’ve seen your contributions over the years, but a mistake is a mistake, and you are not our child.”
“Whether biological or not, is it really that important?” Xi Wanlin cried out, not understanding, “You’ve raised me up so big, can you really bear to leave me? Don’t we have any feelings between us?”
Li Shirui took a deep breath and then said to Xi Wanlin, “We indeed have invested a lot of effort in you, and raised you up, but this is itself an illegal act. Your father, in order to maintain social stability, risked his life alone, following those gangsters, nearly losing his life several times, such a hero, but was tricked when his wife was having a baby, having to raise someone else’s child. If we keep you by our side, wouldn’t that warp our society’s morals?”
Xi Wanlin cried, “Is it just because of societal norms? Or do you feel that I am not as good as Su Meixi?”
Seeing her dwelling on the issue, Xi Huarong did not respond, he only asked, “If you have any requests before you leave, you can also tell us.”
Xi Wanlin cried for a while, then said, “I don’t want to cancel the marriage arrangement with Li Family, can you ensure this?”
Xi Huarong said, “I can’t guarantee, because I don’t know if Li Family values you as a person or my power, but I can refrain from announcing it for the time being.”
Xi Wanlin wiped her tears, “Then, can I still come back to visit you in the future?”
Li Shirui took another deep breath and then said, “Better not come back. I already discussed it with Uncle Xi, if there’s nothing important, we don’t want to see you again.”
The words “Uncle Xi” felt like a harsh scrape to Xi Wanlin’s heart.
“Do you have to be so heartless?” she asked.
Li Shirui slowly explained, “Your biological mother, in order to give you a better life, swapped you with my daughter. Though you suffered initially with me, you later gained many benefits through Uncle Xi’s connections. We… don’t owe you anything, that’s one thing.
Secondly, if you stayed with us continuously, it would be unfair to my biological daughter, and unfair to us. Every time I see you, I would be reminded of the deception we suffered all these years, and I fear I might grow to hate you.”
Xi Wanlin cried for a while, then looking at Xi Huarong and Li Shirui, seeing them so resolute, she knew there was no room for reconciliation, so she simply nodded, “Okay, then I’ll pack up now, thank you for all the care over the years.”
She stood up and knelt down, bowing three times to the two, then turned and left the room.
Outside, Xi Wanfen was sucking on a lollipop waiting for them to exit. Xiao Fen felt something was wrong when the three of them went in, tried eavesdropping but couldn’t hear clearly, so she just waited in the corridor.
Finally, she saw Xi Wanlin running out crying, so she was taken aback and asked, “Sister, what’s wrong?”
Xi Wanlin fiercely glared at her.
Xi Wanfen couldn’t help but be puzzled.
She walked into the study and saw her parents silent and sorrowful.
“Dad, Mom, what happened?”
Li Shirui looked at Xi Wanfen, and after a while said, “Something happened at home, your sister will move out tomorrow.”
“Move out? Is she willing? Hasn’t she always said she wanted to stay and take care of you?”
“From now on, taking care of Mom and Dad will be your responsibility.”
“Ah?” Xi Wanfen was bewildered, feeling the hefty responsibility.
…
Inside the room, Xi Huarong and Li Shirui had already taken their bath.
Their emotions were somewhat downcast.
