Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Reality Strikes Him Hard

Sheng Zexi found out about Li Shuyao’s situation through Hua Zhenrong.

In Beijing, Li Shuyao’s situation was anything but a secret.

After all, that night, in the middle of the night, many people knew about Li Shuyao from the Li Family being taken away.

These days, everyone has been closely watching Li Shuyao’s situation.

Or rather, Li Shuyao herself isn’t that important, but because of her surname Li, and the important figures behind her like Mr. Li and Li Tingxuan.

Just, a while back, nothing definite could be found out.

And now, the result has finally come out.

But this result left everyone stunned.

Especially the Li Family, they were even more shocked by this result.

At this moment, Li Tingxuan was in the hospital, dressed in his military uniform, looking at the elderly man sleeping on the hospital bed.

It was at this moment that Li Tingxuan truly realized that his grandfather was indeed old now.

Old enough… to not withstand too much shock.

Thinking of Li Shuyao… no, the fake Li Shuyao, Li Tingxuan’s hand clenched tightly, and his eyes turned slightly red.

Even though Li Tingxuan wasn’t that close with his sister Li Shuyao.

Even though Li Shuyao was always quite arrogant and didn’t get along with him.

But when things happened, Li Tingxuan still cared for this sister.

Only he never would have thought that Li Shuyao, who lived with him for 19 years, wasn’t his real sister.

And his real sister was switched by R Country people at birth and even died early.

And this Li Shuyao who grew up with him was fake, and she was from R Country, even an enemy agent.

At first, he found it hard to believe.

But upon careful thought, he felt that this explained some things.

For instance, in his dreams and in this life, he had been investigating the reason for a mission failure for three generations.

The cause of his PTSD…

He knew someone had leaked information.

But who was that person.

He could never find out.

But now, if that person was Li Shuyao.

Then everything made sense.

Actually, before, he had suspicions, but he felt that Li Shuyao was his own sister. No matter how arrogant or reckless she was, she couldn’t do such a thing.

After all, if the mission failed, he, as the brother, would be a hair’s breadth from death.

Though they weren’t close siblings, the blood relation was still there.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Once all the impossibilities were eliminated, the only thing left, improbable it may be, was the truth.

It was just that what was hardest for him to accept was that his real sister had died shortly after birth.

Li Tingxuan’s parents both passed away from illness.

His mother fell seriously ill when he was seven and passed away within a year.

His father had deep feelings for his mother, and after she died, his physical and mental state gradually worsened.

When he was ten, his father finally couldn’t hold on and followed his mother.

Before they died, the only thing his parents asked of him was to take good care of his sister.

Li Tingxuan agreed.

But now…

His sister had long been dead.

If his parents knew this in the afterlife, how heartbroken they would be.

And grandpa…

Li Tingxuan’s eyes fell on the elderly man on the hospital bed.

He knew that in his grandfather’s heart, the Li Family was most important.

He as a grandson was also important.

But that didn’t mean that his granddaughter Shuyao wasn’t important.

Otherwise, over the years, Shuyao wouldn’t have lived so freely and grandpa wouldn’t have arranged any marriages for his sister.

Even after knowing his sister liked Sheng Zexi, he talked to Sheng Zexi’s father, Mr. Sheng about it.

So, when grandpa found out Shuyao wasn’t his real granddaughter and his real granddaughter had long died, he was so shocked that he ended up hospitalized again.

This time, because of the fake Li Shuyao’s situation, though it was investigated clearly, grandpa, he and the other members of the Li Family had no relation to Shuyao.

But since this Li Shuyao came from the Li Family.

So the Li Family would definitely be affected.

The specifics were still unclear.

But for now, they couldn’t act freely.

For instance, he was supposed to have gone to the Northwest Military Region earlier, but with this happening, his actions were temporarily restricted.

Li Tingxuan looked at grandpa’s graying hair and felt heartache.

He just hoped this matter would pass quickly.

–

Meanwhile, Sheng Xinhao was still fuming over his unfilial son having twins and not telling him.

When he suddenly found out about Li Shuyao’s situation.

Sheng Xinhao was immediately dumbfounded.

He had high hopes for Li Shuyao to marry his son Sheng Zexi as a daughter-in-law.

He believed only the granddaughter of Mr. Li had the status to match his son.

To help advance Sheng Zexi’s future.

Unfortunately, the young man wasn’t willing and married a village girl instead.

He always felt that Sheng Zexi would regret his decision in the future.

And now…

He thought maybe he was the one who would regret it.

Because the village girl Sheng Zexi married turned out to be so capable.

And the Li Shuyao he chose turned out to be an enemy agent.

If Sheng Zexi had really married her, then…

Just look at the Li Family now.

Both Mr. Li and Li Tingxuan’s futures would definitely be affected.

If Sheng Zexi had really married Li Shuyao, then as her husband, the impact would be even greater.

He might even be taken for investigation, ruining his future.

At this point, it was the first time Sheng Xinhao was grateful that Sheng Zexi didn’t follow his wishes.

Could it be…

Sheng Zexi’s choice was the right one?

His choice was wrong?

Actually, the facts were right in front of him, but Sheng Xinhao was unwilling to admit it.

Of course, he couldn’t bring himself to admit his mistake to his son.

“Hmph, just that kid being lucky.”

–

Gu Jia Ning gave birth to twins, and traditionally, she should have gone through two months of postpartum recovery.

But Gu Jia Ning felt her body was recovering well, so she only stayed for one month before ending her confinement.

Finally stepping outside, Gu Jia Ning felt refreshed and invigorated.

During that month, she couldn’t go out, and despite not being someone who loved going out, she felt stifled.

At this moment, Yao Chunhua and Grandma Sang were in the kitchen cooking, while Gu Jia Ning was playing with Xingxing and Yueyue in the cradle, who were now a month old.

In the span of a month, the two little ones who were already quite fair and tender at birth.

Had become even fairer and more tender, with their features becoming more distinct. The brother increasingly resembled Sheng Zexi, especially when frowning, it was just like his serious father.

And Yueyue looked more and more like Gu Jia Ning.

The two little ones had also gained some chubbiness over the month.

Everyone who saw them thought they looked like celestial children.

Especially Zhang Shuwan, she compared her own two little mischievous boys.

Skinny little monkeys that couldn’t be compared to Xingxing and Yueyue.

Of course, even though they were little skinny monkeys, Zhang Shuwan cherished her hard-earned sons dearly because, after all, they were her own.
