Chapter 619: Chapter 619 The Plot Is Exposed

"Shiping, even if you’re afraid of being scolded at home, you can’t just push the blame onto me," Wang Dongcheng still tried to shirk responsibility.

"Wang Dongcheng, now that things have come to this, you still want to lie?" Li Yue was furious, wishing he could slap him to death.

Xiu Min and Li Julin’s expressions were also very unpleasant. They knew Li Shiping’s nature better than anyone and naturally did not believe Wang Dongcheng.

However, what Xiu Min was worried about now was not the bracelet but the child.

"Shiping, what’s wrong with the child? What illness did she have? Is she better now? Why didn’t you tell me?"

She voiced a series of anxious questions.

"Mom, don’t worry. The child was sick before, but Mianmian and He Nan took her to the hospital and even took care of her for a whole day and night. She’s already better now."

Upon hearing this, Xiu Min said, "No wonder Mianmian didn’t come to study at our house on Sunday. Julin, we have misunderstood Mianmian."

Li Julin snorted coldly, "Why not tell the truth directly?"

"Dad, it’s not Mianmian’s fault. I asked her and He Nan to keep it from you; I didn’t want you to worry." Li Shiping quickly explained for Shen Mianmian.

"You child, how could you keep something like the baby being sick from us?"

Xiu Min was both distressed and angry. If it hadn’t been for Mianmian and He Nan, how could she have managed the child alone?

Seeing that things were not going well for him and that clearly no one believed him, Wang Dongcheng instantly changed his demeanor, holding his head in self-reproach and saying, "Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I lied just now. I was afraid you would think I was useless, that’s why I couldn’t admit it. I didn’t want to sell Shiping’s dowry, but the baby was sick, and we really couldn’t come up with the money, my salary only barely covers our daily expenses."

"Wang Dongcheng, don’t you pretend and act now," Li Yue lifted his leg and kicked him, "I’m asking you, when the baby was sick, where were you?"

If Wang Dongcheng had been there, how could his sister have ended up seeking out Mianmian and Brother Nan?

"I..." Wang Dongcheng had just started to explain when Xiu Min suddenly asked Li Shiping,

"Shiping, what happened to your face?"

She had just noticed a scratch on her daughter’s face that looked as if it could have been caused by fingernails.

"Mom..." As soon as Li Shiping opened her mouth, she could not stop her tears.

Without her parents’ consent, she had married behind their backs, and now, after being hit, how could she have the face to complain?

"Wang Dongcheng, you hit her, didn’t you?" Li Yue couldn’t contain his anger and began to punch Wang Dongcheng.

Wang Dongcheng cried out in pain, no one in the room tried to break it up, until Li Julin felt it was enough and spoke up.

"That’s enough, stop causing a scene in front of the child."

Li Yue stopped at that, but the anger in his heart had not subsided one bit.

"Wang Dongcheng, have you grown so bold as to eat the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?"

"I didn’t hit her, Shiping, you have to explain for me!" Wang Dongcheng still kept denying it.

Li Shiping pursed her lips and remained silent, but tears continued to flow.

Seeing the situation, Xiu Min instantly understood, "Wang Dongcheng, when has the Li family ever mistreated you? How dare you hit her?"

Xiu Min’s lips trembled with anger. Her cherished daughter, unbeknownst to her, had suffered so much.

Her daughter’s face was injured; how much it must have hurt at the time?

"Shiping, why are you so foolish? If he hits you, why don’t you tell us at home?"

"Mom..." Li Shiping cried and hugged Xiu Min.

"You..." Xiu Min also started crying from heartache, "How am I supposed to talk about you?"
