Chapter 383 - She was her birth mother. (1/2)
Li Liaoyuan was just in time when the show began. He has witnessed how the woman was trying to manipulate the things around with the help of her so-called niece around.
He may not know what she was planning but he was still the experienced one in the stream. One thing he has learned from his life was, 'It is better to keep your enemies in the front of your eyes, to know their tricks in better terms'. That would make you all prepared to counter their tricks before they hurt you fatally.
Seeing them leaving there would be no way he would be letting them leave. Even if he has to take the worst step to stop them, he would eagerly oblige. So interrupting the scene he had decided to reveal the truth.
”Rebecca, don't you feel regret in your life? Are you still planning to go away, abandoning you daughter behind”, he asked in an accusing tone leaving everyone in a death shock.
Rebecca has never thought that this old man will ever dare to reveal this truth so suddenly. She was sure that he would be taking it to his grave, but now seeing him reveal it so suddenly she has no idea what was actually going in his head.
Xue Ping Ruo was also shocked, not knowing how to make good changes in the plan since they have not thought something like this will happen.
Lifen was also taken aback by her grandfather's words. She looked at the woman with a confused look and then turned to ask her grandfather. ”Grandpa, what do you mean? Why are you accusing Aunt Rebecca like this? Who is her daughter? Why would she abandon her?”
She worded out all the questions she had in her head, not caring how desperate she was sounding with those questions. She was feeling really anxious, not knowing why her heart was getting clenched at those words?
Her body started getting shrouded with the chilled airs of nervousness. Her legs started feeling slight shivers, when suddenly a warm arm got wrapped around her shoulders giving her the warm which she needed the most at this moment.
Tilting her head to the side, she found the only man who has the ability to prover her with such warmth. Deming has come down after is shower, dressed all perfectly in his office attire. His eyes held concern for her but at the same time also had an assurance of making everything go right.
It was the same assurance and security she wanted at this moment.
Li Lioaoyuan turned to look at her precious granddaughter. He has never planned to reveal this to her, knowing well that this will only give her the pain of ignorance. But now since he has no way left, he could only stake this to prevent her from the worst.
He can see the anxiety in her eyes and can also feel the shiver of nervousness she was feeling all over. Looking at her face, that has slightly gone pale, decided to focus on his words rather on her miserable state.
”This woman … the one whom you are taking as your savior is actually a heartless one in the world …” he paused as his eyes went to look back at the woman who was gritting her teeth inside. When his eyes met with her, he could feel the fierceness in it but that fierceness did not scare him even a bit. He looked at her and challenged her to try and beat his trick now.
Then reverting his gaze back to Lifen, he said ”This woman is a true heartless person here. She is no savior here” When he said those words, his voice held a firmness in it, a deep calmness in it. A calmness that was building up a strong storm inside Lifen's heart. She waited to hear the next coming words but before the old man could say anything Rebecca jumped in between.
”Mr. Li, why are you trying to say? Didn't you say before that I am just a stranger here and you won't involve yourself with me then why are you going back on your words?” her words were clearly making the suspense grow more.
Lifen did not pay heed to her words, rather tugged the sleeves of her grandfather lightly, to make him focus on her. ”Grandpa, tell me what is it? I am feeling like you are hiding something from me. Tell me what is it?”
