Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

Chapter 872 TALKING TO A PIECE OF WOOD

If Mu Lan's mother was really Zhuan Zhen, then her father was Mr. Li. In the past, Mr. Li was in love with Zhuan Zhen and he wanted to marry her. Because of the scheming of Mr. Li's father, Li Shen's grandfather, Zhuan Corporation ended up with bankruptcy. However, the Li Corporation didn't realize that Mr. Zhuan's eldest daughter Zhuan Zhen was a talented teenager. She single-handedly saved her father's company.

After Zhuan Zhen saved her father's company, she took over the Zhuan Corporation. She investigated the reason behind the company's bankruptcy and found out the truth sooner than the Li Family expected. Later, the news of the Li Family betraying the Zhuan Family spread out in the country and Mr. Li's father was forced to leave his position and Mr. Li took over the company. Mr. Li couldn't bring himself to face Zhuan Zhen. Later, he had to marry a lady from a powerful family to save his company but he still couldn't forget Zhuan Zhen. After a few years, he found out that she already married someone else. He was in agony for several years and moved away from his mansion where his wife and two sons lived. His depression was unknown to Zhuan Zhen. She only thought of his father as her enemy. There was nothing more to it. She had an uncertain impression of Mr. Li.

As for whether they slept together or not, it was unknown. However, shortly after her marriage, Mr. Li moved away. Mrs. Li, who was from a powerful family, sent her men to check up on her husband. She found out that her husband was secretly stalking a beautiful woman. A married woman's jealousy was very dangerous. She later discovered that her husband fancied a woman who was none other than her long-time rival in school. In spite of being from a powerful family, she couldn't surpass Zhuan Zhen in beauty and talent. Zhuan Zhen was better at everything and no one could make her second in anything.

Now that her long-time rival took her husband's heart, she couldn't stand it. After a few months, she found out that Zhuan Zhen was pregnant. Her husband came back to his mansion after Zhuan Zhen gave birth. Certainly, he went to meet the newborn girl before coming back. He would always praise how wonderful Xiao Lan was. He cared less about his own sons. Not to mention, he didn't even take a glance at his wife.

Feeling doubtful, Mrs. Li checked newborn Xiao Lan's DNA and she found out that this newborn's DNA matched her husband. Everything she dreamed of, everything she built, was destroyed by a single piece of paper.

She cried day and night. Her sons were also upset. She told them about her resentment and why her husband didn't give them a single glance even though he was their family. Later, someone very close to her gave her an opportunity to go outside the country on a mission.

She never thought that she had to face her long-time rival's husband, Professor Ryuren. An evil plan came to her mind. It was regrettable that she couldn't complete her mission because of Professor Ryuren's intelligence and those who were behind him. She didn't lose her focus though. She secretly planned and then eliminated Professor Ryuren. Then, she targeted Zhuan Zhen who was pregnant. She became a friend of Zhuang Lei. After taking care of Zhuan Zhen by the help of Zhuang Lei, they eliminated Zhuan Zhen's only daughter, Xiao Lan, by throwing her to the experimental laboratory.

She was having a great time for years until she saw Xiao Lan right in front of her. Xiao Lan was healthy and happy and she resembled her mother so much so that she wanted to burn Xiao Lan's beautiful face. She couldn't believe that the mistress' child was still alive even after she had done a thorough plan. So, this time, she added her sons in the plan. Her sons came up with a wonderful plan and they succeeded thanks to her eldest son.

-------------------------

The thunderstorm had ended. The sky was getting clearer. The black clouds moved away from the sun. the sunlight fell on the bloody, half-destroyed island.

Mu Lan smiled coldly. Her eyes were losing their warmth. "Are you saying that you want to have a family with me despite I'm your blood-related step-sister? You understand what I'm, asking, don't you?"

Li Shen clenched his fists. He looked at the ground and stayed silent.

Mu Lan also looked away from him. She already knew his answer. It was impossible either way.

Li Shen then looked up and said, "If we want, we can still forget the past and be together, Xiao Lan. I don't care about what others say. I can care less about what others think. Let's forget our past and start anew, okay? Xiao La, I love you and I know you do the same."

"..." Mu Lan was speechless. She thought that she put some logic in his head. But she was wrong. She felt as if she was talking to a piece of wood. She rubbed her temple with her right hand. She was having a headache.

She took a deep breath before saying, "Even if I'm your step-sister, I didn't force anyone to sleep or fall in love. I never told anyone to do adultery. I have never told any to stay from their family members and neglect their children. So, tell me, what right do you have to make me suffer."

Li Shen was speechless. He couldn't say anything in return.

Mu Lan continued, "You say you don't care what others think about us, but you family members resent me and to you your family comes first. In your eyes, am I an idiot who doesn't understand anything? Or do you think that I will leave my beloved husband and children to be with a monster like you after forgetting everything you have done to me just because you said that you loved me?"
