Chapter 44 -44 The Enticed Top Student (18)
The two sons of the An Family, the daughter of the Ye Family, were forcefully taken away for investigation, and soon the news was buzzing through the circles.
The younger grandson of the Jiang Family and the son of the Second Family of the Xu Family were grounded at home, which was far from a secret.
Meanwhile, the series of business projects belonging to the Du Family had plummeted dramatically.
Today, they weren’t dealing with quality inspections from the industry and commerce departments, then it was surprise audits from the tax authorities. Various partners were terminating contracts en masse, overwhelming even the giant that was the Du Family.
Anyone astute could spot the anomaly, this series of disasters clearly indicated that they had offended some heavyweight figures.
And all these events traced back to a girl named Su Li.
The people from the An and Ye families had used all their means, yet they could not retrieve An Jiuzhou, An Jiuge, or Ye Wanhe. They couldn’t even get a glimpse of them.
They were completely in the dark, barely understanding what was happening.
In the end, they could only pin their hopes on the girl called Su Li.
Initially, they thought that with the capabilities of their two families, meeting a mere girl would be manageable.
However, another month passed, and yet they hadn’t even come close to a possibility of approaching her.
Su Li was holding a glass of juice, standing by the open French windows, admiring the lovely night view, and watching another group of people being turned away by the security personnel hidden around the building.
“What a beautiful night…” Su Li sipped her juice and murmured with a heartfelt smile, “This is just the beginning…”
The next day, Su Li thought about visiting her parents to see how they were.
But as soon as she walked through the door, she saw Mrs. Su wiping away tears and Mr. Su silently smoking, with an air of deep worry.
Su Li quietly placed the fruits and vegetables she brought into the kitchen and then asked, “What’s wrong with you two? You didn’t even notice I was back?”
Both Mr. and Mrs. Su were startled; Mrs. Su immediately turned her back to wipe away her tears, scared that Su Li would see her in such a state.
Mr. Su quickly stood up, forcing a smile, “I’ll go make you something delicious…”
He swiftly hid himself in the kitchen.
Mrs. Su, smiling, took Su Li’s hand and kept examining her face as if she couldn’t get enough of looking at her.
The kindly smile contained a sadness that was unmistakable.
Su Li said, “Mom, what’s wrong today… Is there something on my face?”
“No… no…” Mrs. Su lowered her head, pondering for a while, hesitant to speak.
Finally, with a heavy heart, she turned her head away and said haltingly, “Girl, your biological parents have come looking for you…”
Su Li had known since she was very young that she was not her parents’ biological daughter, but she had long formed a bond with them that was as strong as if she was their own.
But…
“What do you mean they’ve come looking for me? Did you meet them?” Su Li asked indifferently, her eyes flashing with a hint of ruthless light.
They’re persistent in their villainy, incapable of affecting her, so they turned their attention to her parents.
Should she acknowledge their impressive persistence?
Mentioning this made Mrs. Su cry even more.
She had raised her daughter for so many years; the thought that her daughter would no longer be hers grieved her deeply…
With her head hung low, not daring to let Su Li see the shimmer of tears in her eyes, Mrs. Su said softly, “I didn’t see them personally, but they sent over a document with photos… It’s said to be of your grandmother, who was as beautiful as you…”
After a long silence from Su Li, Mrs. Su stealthily looked up and saw Su Li holding the documents that lay on the table, which they had not had the time to put away.
A faint smile lingered on Su Li’s lips, deepening Mrs. Su’s heartache.
“They want to meet us…. After all, they are your biological parents,” stated Mrs. Su, able to empathize with them, knowing the feeling of parenting herself. “I’ve heard they lost you due to an accident and have been looking for you all these years….”
Mrs. Su tentatively asked, “Xiao Li, what do you… how do you feel about this….”
Su Li quickly flipped through the things the other party had brought over. She had never anticipated—up until her death—that she was shrouded by such a layer of origin in the shadow of her death.
She had simply thought these privileged youths lacked humanity, maliciously playing with others’ lives, leading her original family to such a tragic fate.
Who would have thought….
It seemed that An Jiuge and Ye Wanhe had known for a long time that her original self was, indeed, the legitimate Lady of the Ye Family.
After all, no identification was needed. Any member of the Ye Family who had seen Su Li’s face would believe it.
Su Li held a faded, somewhat old photo between her fingers, repeatedly examining it.
Compared to her current appearance, it was exceedingly similar.

Su Li smiled faintly, “We should indeed meet.”
“BANG…”
A loud noise came from the kitchen.
Mr. Su’s panicked voice immediately followed, “Ah, it was me. I accidentally dropped a pot….”
Su Li had long noticed that Mr. Su was silently eavesdropping on their conversation through the kitchen door.
“Mom and Dad, don’t worry… no matter what anyone says, just ignore them. I’ll say it right here, you are my biological parents.”
“The only ones….”
Mrs. Su was heartened, but seemed hesitant to say something. Then, Mr. Su, who had come from the kitchen with a laugh, pulled her aside.
“Help me pick the vegetables….”
Turning his head, Mr. Su’s demeanor had changed from his previous dejection to one of vitality, “Daughter, your Mom and Dad are all ears…. From now on, the only words that matter are yours.”
Even though everything was based on Su Li’s will, Mr. Su was still concerned.
“What if, what if they are unwilling…. what should we do?”
Mr. Su knew he was from humble origins and even if his daughter wished to stay by his side, if their attitude was unyielding, he… he was powerless….
Su Li, seeing her father’s anxiousness, could only helplessly reassure him, “It’s okay, as long as I don’t want to, they can’t touch us….”
This time, Su Li could confidently say this.
Her latest research was ready to be submitted to the country.
——————–
“Husband, how is it, any news?” Ye Wanhe’s mother, Mrs. Ye, asked anxiously.
Ye Shizhi shook his head wearily, “None….”
“And about Su Li….”
Mrs. Ye looked hopefully at her husband. She had it all figured out. Before, the other party did not know her true identity, but now that she understood, whether out of curiosity or some other reason, surely she would want to meet with them.
Ye Shizhi still shook his head, “Now we can’t even reach her adoptive parents….”
“Isn’t Su Li the daughter you lost? Doesn’t she want to see her own biological parents?”
A piercing voice chimed in from the side.
