Chapter 176: Chapter 6: The Real and Fake Heiress (Part 6)

Poor child, originally the Little Princess of the Li Family, raised with pampering, and now she must endure such unfair treatment.

Li Yu, Li Yu, you truly are something.

In front of them, Li Qinglan was the lady, and Li Shuning had to yield to her, but who was Li Qinglan? Just the daughter of a gambling addict, and yet Li Shuning was beaten because of her.

Even went hungry because of Li Qinglan.

If it weren’t for their child’s cleverness in climbing out, with Li Yu’s temperament, the life she would have had, one couldn’t even imagine it.

Who knows what Li Shuning has been through out of their sight.

Zhang Minrong couldn’t help but cover her face.

She hated it, hated herself, why didn’t she realize it when the child was swapped?

Clearly she couldn’t get close to Li Qinglan, clearly felt something was off.

Even the resolute Li Qiong had tears in his eyes at this moment.

After calming down, the two went to see Li Shuning.

They saw her curled up in the sheets, her tiny body in a tight ball.

In her dreams, she seemed to be twitching, perhaps afraid even as she was beaten.

Thinking of Li Shuning’s past understanding and courtesy only made them feel more heartbroken.

When Li Shuning woke up, she rubbed her eyes dazedly upon seeing the two people, then smiled broadly and said, “Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Zhang Minrong quickly approached and hugged Li Shuning.

“Good child, what’s wrong? Hungry, or do you want some water?”

Li Shuning was a bit embarrassed, seeing Zhang Minrong’s concern, her face reddened as she said, “I need to go to the bathroom.”

Zhang Minrong sighed in relief, then picked up Li Shuning and carried her to the bathroom.

Li Qinglan usually had someone help her with the restroom.

Li Shuning didn’t need that, and seeing Zhang Minrong trying to help, she wriggled a bit.

“Aunt Zhang, it’s okay, I can do it myself.”

Zhang Minrong smiled and kissed Li Shuning, “Auntie will help you.”

Li Shuning covered her face, feeling a bit helpless, it was really embarrassing.

Back in bed, Zhang Minrong squatted down and tucked in the sheets for Li Shuning, “Shuning, Auntie wants to send you to school in the Capital, there’s a grandfather there who will help take care of you, okay?”

Li Shuning’s eyes sparkled, was this the decision?

“Aunt Zhang, what about my mom?”

Upon such a question from Li Shuning, Zhang Minrong nearly burst into tears, such a good child, Li Yu, this thief, this villain.

“Shuning, you’re still young, you might not understand even if I tell you, but Auntie is telling you, the way your mom treats you, she’s not a good mother, and she’s not your mother. Tomorrow morning, Auntie will take you to the Capital, and then you accompany Grandfather, okay? Grandfather is lonely alone, he needs your company.”

Li Shuning naturally agreed, why stay here to be abused by Li Yu?

“Okay, then I will accompany Grandfather.”

Watching Li Shuning smiling and falling asleep, the couple stayed up all night, making all the necessary preparations. At dawn the next day, Li Shuning was sent away.

As for Li Qinglan, they sent her to a boarding school.

They decided to stay still amid the turmoil.

If the events in the dream were caused by political adversaries, any move they made would only prompt changes in plans, being indefensible, so it was better to remain unchanged.

When Li Yu woke up and finished her chores, she realized that neither Li Shuning nor Li Qinglan were around.

Upon checking their rooms, she found that they were both gone.

Li Qiong had already left, and Zhang Minrong was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Li Yu, somewhat hesitant, asked, “Sister Zhang, neither the Miss nor Shuning are here?”

Zhang Minrong sneered internally, but showed nothing on her face, “Xiao Yu, I sent Shuning and Qing Lan to school, so you don’t need to worry anymore.”

Li Yu was momentarily at a loss, why did no one tell her? Why so sudden?

Zhang Minrong stood up and approached Li Yu, sighing, “Xiao Yu, child abuse is also a crime, we’re just worried you might do something wrong, so we sent Shuning to a boarding school. From kindergarten until high school, she can study there. Although she won’t be with us, don’t worry, the school is excellent, and I’ll arrange for you to visit her. As for Qing Lan, Mr. Li said she was lacking in etiquette and has been taken back to the Capital to be groomed. So you needn’t worry about Qing Lan anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yu also felt relieved. She had spent years with the Li Family and knew some of the family’s affairs. If Mr. Li in the Capital himself was educating the child, the child would surely receive a fine education.

However, not seeing the child anymore, Li Yu felt her heart wrench.

Seeing Li Yu’s tearful expression, Zhang Minrong despised her even more, your child is precious, but my child can be beaten and scolded? Bitch.

Zhang Minrong couldn’t even be bothered to speak to Li Yu anymore.

When Li Shuning arrived in the Capital, she was led into the Li household by Li Zhongguo himself.

He knew Li Shuning had recently been beaten and still had injuries, so he instructed the nanny to take good care of the little Miss.

Once Li Shuning recovered, Mr. Li personally had a talk with her.

“Girl, your mother, Li Yu, isn’t really your biological mother, you are actually a child of our Li Family, your father is Li Qiong, and your mother is Zhang Minrong.”

Li Shuning appropriately displayed a shocked expression.

“Li Yu swapped you and Li Qinglan when you were born; you’re our real child. I don’t know if you can understand, but girl, remember this, none of those bad people will escape, in the future, stay with Grandpa, grow up well, and later reclaim what is yours, okay?”

Li Shuning tilted her head, biting her small hand, seemingly struggling to make a decision, then smiled, “Okay, I will stay with Grandpa, so he won’t be lonely.”

Li Zhongguo felt a pang of bitterness, holding Li Shuning and sighing.

Li Shuning was puzzled, what was the Li Family planning? Not exposing Li Yu?

Given the sphere they were dealing with, Li Shuning couldn’t imagine the extent of the Li Family’s conspiracy theories.

Indeed, who would have thought that a mere swap could ruin Li Qiong’s future?

Afterward, the circle in the Capital knew that the Li Family’s little Miss had returned, and Mr. Li doted on her immensely. It was said that she would soon be sent to the Capital Kindergarten.

Some insightful people immediately decided to send their children to the Capital Kindergarten as well.

But they did not know the name of the Li Family’s little Miss; even at the kindergarten, the name they acquired wasn’t Li Shuning but Li Niuniu.

According to Mr. Li, since the child was not very healthy, a common name like Niuniu would make her more grounded.

The Li Family had no plans to change Li Shuning’s name.

Li Qinglan’s name was already used by the child of that person, and they would never use that name again.

As for Li Shuning’s name, it was almost not decided because Li Yu forgot to name her, nearly resulting in her not getting a birth certificate until Li Qiong helped choose it.

Perhaps this was a destined matter.
