Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 226 - Chapter 226 Chapter 226 The Last Person Awaited

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: The Last Person Awaited Chapter 226: Chapter 226: The Last Person Awaited The room fell into silence.

The female journalist spoke sharply, “You knew before I did, why didn’t you expose her?”

Lu Xining countered, “Expose what?”

Compared to her calm demeanor, the female journalist slammed her hand on the table as she stood up.

Her voice was filled with anger, “Of course, it’s about exposing Zhang Shengnan’s plot to murder for money, usurping someone else’s identity!”

“You are more capable than I am, and have more influence; she even slandered you many times. Why didn’t you want to take the initiative and get rid of her directly?”

Faced with the journalist’s questioning, Lu Xining slightly lifted her head, “Are you questioning me?”

The opposite calm but unmistakably imposing aura made the female journalist’s heart tremble.

Her voice also weakened involuntarily, “I just want to know where the real Shen Moli is…”

The reason Zhang Shengnan could take over Shen Moli’s identity was not only due to her later cosmetic surgery adjustments but also because… Shen Moli was the sister her parents gave away!

She and Shen Moli were biological sisters.

Their facial features were seventy to eighty percent similar.

That’s why after some minor adjustments, she could attain a ninety percent resemblance to Shen Moli.

And since they were both going to a new environment for university, where all their friends were strangers,

naturally, no one could tell whether this “Shen Moli” was real or fake.

During university, she rarely went home.

Even during holidays, she used part-time work as an excuse to cut off the possibility of returning home.

Days passed like this, and she really managed to live comfortably under the identity of “Shen Moli.”

All this information was what Lu Xining had read from the files.

As for the journalist in front of her,

she was the real Shen Moli’s high school desk mate and best friend.

Lu Xining looked at her with an amused smirk, “Liu Shiran, Journalist Liu, do you really dare to know where she is?”

Liu Shiran, under her gaze, felt slightly panicked.

She feigned ignorance, “What do you mean by that, Miss Lu?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare to know her whereabouts? Moli is my best friend!”

Lu Xining had to admit that the female journalist before her was much smarter than Zhang Shengnan.

But that was all.

However, her silent smile still left Liu Shiran feeling unsettled.

She picked up the water cup on the table and gulped down a mouthful.

Lu Xining watched every reaction of Liu Shiran intently, and glanced at the video on the computer screen once more.

As Father Zhang collapsed to the ground, the camera also started to shake.

This made her think of the new shirt on Father Zhang, which was clearly not his.

According to the angle of the video at the time, Liu Shiran must have installed the hidden camera in the button.

And Liu Shiran?

She originally thought Lu Xining wanted to use her to kill with a borrowed knife, to take down Zhang Shengnan.

But the sudden counterquestion just now, and the mockery at the corner of her mouth, obviously meant she knew something else.

Was this her way of testing her? Liu Shiran pondered secretly.

Just then, there was a knock at the door from Zhang Shengnan’s side, accompanied by the argument with the bodyguard.

Zhang Shengnan was going crazy!

She had finally tied up Father Zhang and Mother Zhang, just waiting for nightfall to let the bodyguard take them out and clean up.

But then the adoptive parents of Shen Moli arrived.

“Moli, are you okay?”

“Your dad and I rushed over as soon as we heard about this incident.”

The woman speaking was dressed in a light blue cheongsam, exuding the gentle charm of an enduring beauty.

The man supporting her arm, with upright facial features and wearing silver-framed glasses, also carried an air of scholarly elegance.

He said softly to Zhang Shengnan, “Moli, your mother is very worried about you.”

Last time, when Zhang Shengnan was forced into a corner, she had no choice but to return to Shen Moli’s house.

But when she pushed the door open, to her surprise, it was Journalist Liu Shiran from a couple of days ago, which made her realize the other party knew the real Shen Moli.

To avoid giving herself away, she had to leave the house quickly.

Meanwhile, Liu Shiran, still in the upstairs room, lowered her head with a smile that revealed she had everything under control.

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were the ones she had invited to expose Zhang Shengnan’s true identity.

However, they had arrived one step late due to traffic, and had not confronted Father Zhang and Mrs. Zhang face-to-face.

Nevertheless, now was no longer considered too late!

All the people were now gathered in one room, and Liu Shiran awaited the next development with eagerness, ready to unveil Zhang Shengnan’s false facade!

Lu Xining’s gaze briefly lingered on the bottom right corner of the computer desktop.

Noticing the silence of the woman beside her, Liu Shiran turned to look at her, her eyes still filled with nervousness and tentativeness. Seeing her not speaking and looking at the computer screen, she let out a slight sigh of relief.

Lu Xining pretended not to see her expression and continued to stare at the computer screen.

The fire had already burned halfway.

The remaining half must also be on its way.

Soon, Liu Shiran would find out why.

“What Shen Molin? This dead girl is my daughter Zhang Shengnan. Fine, now I know, you couldn’t have children, so you want to snatch someone else’s daughter, is it for the money in her pocket?” Father Zhang’s mouth wasn’t sealed even though he was bound.

His remark about being childless caused Mrs. Shen to stagger.

Mr. Shen immediately embraced her, “Are you alright? Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Nestled in her husband’s arms, Mrs. Shen weakly shook her head.

She softly questioned the tied-up Father Zhang and Mrs. Zhang on the floor, “Are you Moli’s biological parents?”

Mrs. Zhang nodded, “Yes, she’s my daughter Zhang Shengnan. She’s going to come back to Zhang Village with us to build a house, buy a car, and get a daughter-in-law for her brother. You can’t take my daughter away!”

Hearing Mrs. Zhang’s words, Zhang Shengnan became anxious.

Her voice was noticeably flustered, “You’re talking nonsense! I am Shen Molin!”

Lu Xining looked into Mr. Shen’s eyes; this refined man, when looking at Zhang Shengnan, had no warmth in his eyes, not at all resembling a father’s gaze.

It was the woman in his arms, whose eyes were filled with concern.

As Mr. Shen looked down, the coldness in his eyes faded, replaced by tenderness. He gently patted Mrs. Shen’s back, soothing her troubled emotions, appearing to be a very loving couple.

The water glass beside them was knocked over by Liu Shiran.

She quickly lifted the computer in front of her, fearing it would get wet, her eyes never leaving the man on the computer screen.

Mr. Shen spoke in a calm tone and slow pace, “Moli was legally adopted by us from the orphanage, not snatched away as you claimed.”

Hearing his methodical response, both Zhang Shengnan and Liu Shiran felt a jolt in their hearts.

The former was uneasy, while the latter was thrilled.

“Pah! What orphanage? This brat was raised by my side until she was eighteen; she never set foot in an orphanage!”

Seeing Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen dressed well, seemingly wealthy, an idea to make money flashed through Father Zhang’s mind.

“If you really want this dead girl, it’s not out of the question. I’ve spent a fortune raising her for 18 years. Just give us 500,000 yuan, and this dead girl is yours.”

Mr. and Mrs. Shen frowned.

They had spent their whole lives educating others and had always been polite; they had never encountered such shameless people before.

Zhang Shengnan’s face went pale as paper.

She dared not let Father Zhang continue, and quickly grabbed a towel from the couch to stuff forcefully into his mouth.

She found another, and gagged Mrs. Zhang’s mouth as well.

Then she turned to face Mr. and Mrs. Shen, her smile stiff, and explained, “Dad, Mom, they are people sent by my boyfriend’s family to smear my name deliberately; I don’t know them at all.”

She lifted her clothes to show them the red marks on her wrist.

“Look, this is from them threatening me earlier, strangling me.”

“If I were really their daughter, how could they treat me like this? It’s clearly defamation.”

As she said these words, Zhang Shengnan’s bound and gagged parents glared at her venomously.

Zhang Shengnan spent great efforts to calm Mrs. Shen’s emotions.

Just as she was about to touch Mrs. Shen, she was subtly pushed away by Mr. Shen.

Witnessing this scene,

A dark glint passed through Lu Xining’s eyes.

Mr. Shen appeared to be very concerned for his daughter on the surface, but his gaze was always cold and detached, devoid of any parental warmth, a stark contrast to Mrs. Shen’s reactions.

The room once again fell silent.

At the same moment as Lu Xining’s phone vibrated, there was another knock on the door downstairs.

The last person she had been waiting for had arrived!
