Zhang Li was anxious to prove to Ruan Zeyan that everything was Ling Qi’s idea. In the current situation of the Li family, if Ruan Zeyan wanted to kill them, it would be as simple as crushing an ant.

“We just listened to Ling Qi’s plan. The Li Family has no power right now, so how could we dare to ask for Miss Ling’s hand? We can’t even afford the dowry! If Ling Qi didn’t promise us ten-million dollars afterwards, we cross our hearts that my son and I would not have dared to commit such a terrible thing! Everyone knows that Miss Ling is Mr. Ruan’s fiancée!”

Zhang Li made her argument rationally as if the truth was just like what she said. Li Chenfeng was sitting on the bed depleted, and Xiaohong was holding his arm as if he would run away. He didn’t say a word, but his face was very awkward. When he met Ruan Zeyan’s intimidating gaze, he couldn’t help but shuddered.

Ling Qi was furious, clenching her teeth, she blurted, “Nonsense! It was YOU who came to me saying that Ling Tianya couldn’t marry Ruan Zeyan! You two are nothing but lazy vampires and leeches! The Li Corporation is bankrupt, and you have no money, so you were conspiring to ruin my niece’s innocence, so she would marry you. You thought after that the Ling Family’s money would become the Li Family’s money! Don’t think everyone are fools and don’t know what you were thinking!” Then, Ling Qi cried in sorrow, “I really am innocent. I wanted to give them ten-million dollars to send them away. After all, Tianya and Zeyan’s engagement is a happy event for the Ling Family. I didn’t want to have any more accidents. I didn’t expect this mother and son were so bad, and they followed Tianya here. I came over only because I was concerned, and then this happened to me. Jianlin, I am really innocent!”

Ling Qi sounded so pitiful and painted herself as a good aunt who was watching out for her niece. She even cried some real tears as she spoke. The ambiguous expression on Ruan Zeyan’s face made Zhang Li’s heart skip a beat. She realized that Ling Qi was Ling Tianya’s biological aunt, and the Ruans had a good relationship with the Guans. If Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan believed in Ling Qi’s words and the two families went against them together, there was no way they could survive.

Zhang Li made a decision in her mind. She was going to spill out the secret that was buried for so long.

“Ling Qi, stop pretending to be a good aunt! When you forced Ling Tianya to marry my son, I didn’t see any of your concerns for your niece then!”

Zhang Li’s words stunned Ling Qi. Eyes red, she yelled, “You shut up!”

“Oh, you want me to shut up now! I am not going to! If I shut up, my son and I won’t get out alive.” Then, Zhang Li turned and looked at Ling Tianya. “Ling Tianya, were you not curious why Ling Qi forced you to marry my son back then?”

Zhang Li’s words successfully got Ling Tianya’s attention. She was indeed very curious why, Ling Qi tried so hard to convince everyone in the Ling Family as well threatening her with Ling Tianxin’s custody, just to force her to marry Li Chenfeng.

“You shut your mouth, you hear me?!” Ling Qi wanted to get up and stop Zhang Li, but because she was naked, the blanket on her body slipped down as soon as she moved. When she covered her body back up, Zhang Li had already started talking.

“Six years ago, Ling Qi couldn’t stand the loneliness and was looking for a lover. It just happened that she met a friend of my son’s, Ming Hui, at a bar. She was just playing, but Ming Hui got serious. I watched Ming Hui as he grew up and he was such a fool. How could he fall for an old woman like Ling Qi, and try so desperately to be with her? Ling Qi refused to get a divorce and broke up with Ming Hui. He couldn’t stand the blow, so Ming Hui jumped off a building and committed suicide. Later, my son found intimate photos of Ming Hui and Ling Qi and text messages between the two in Ming Hui’s phone, and only then did he realized that those two were involved. Ming Hui was my son’s best friend, so he had to get justice from Ling Qi! As a result, Ling Qi gave my son twenty-million dollars and told him that she would let her niece marry him. At that time, the Li family was experiencing a financial crisis, so in order to save the family business my son reluctantly accepted Ling Qi’s proposal. Thinking about it now, I feel really guilty about Ming Hui!”
