Qi Siran was originally looking at Li Lezhen's scared look with a playful smile. But now seeing her stuttering, she just felt inexplicably annoyed.
Come on!
If this person entered their family in the future, she might cry all day long.
She couldn't stand it at all!
"Do you not understand what I'm saying, or do you not want to understand?" Qi Siran frowned and couldn't help interrupting Li Lezhen's sobbing act.
"Miss Li, you should know who I am. I don't have the time to play games with you."
"If you still say you don't know, then I don't mind revealing my identity straightforwardly."
"I'm Qi Siran, the daughter of the Qi family."
After saying this, Qi Siran carefully observed every expression on Li Lezhen's face.
She didn't intend to miss any subtle change in her expression.
Sure enough, after hearing this, there was a hint of panic in Li Lezhen's eyes.
She tried to shift her gaze nervously, but Qi Siran stared at her firmly.
"My mother, Mrs. Qi, should have come to see you a few days ago." Qi Siran propped her chin with one hand and stared fixedly at Li Lezhen.
Her gaze was as sharp as a cheetah eyeing its prey.
Li Lezhen felt completely exposed in front of her.
"What did she say to you? Did she tell you that you're the real daughter of our family who was lost outside and that they wanted to take you back?" Qi Siran spoke word by word, blurting out all the words she had imagined.
She noticed that Li Lezhen's face paled a bit more with each sentence she said.
Qi Siran sneered silently in her heart.
Sure enough, her guess was correct.
The person in front of her was most likely the real daughter of the Qi family.
"Here's a check for ten million. I hope you'll take it and cut off all ties with our family after that." Qi Siran reached into her bag, took out a check, and pushed it in front of Li Lezhen.
Seeing the check, Li Lezhen couldn't help widening her eyes. She looked at the check in shock and then shifted her gaze to Qi Siran's face.
"Miss Qi, I don't understand what you mean." Li Lezhen bit her lips, looking humiliated.
She pushed the check back towards Qi Siran, clearly indicating that she didn't accept it.
Seeing her action, Qi Siran couldn't help snorting and the smile on her lips was full of mockery.
"What? Do you think it's too little?"
"Miss Li should know that the amount on this check is more than your family could earn in a lifetime."
"So if I were you, I'd accept this check obediently. At least it could help your family and make your life less difficult." Qi Siran said the prepared speech.
Hearing this, Li Lezhen couldn't help widening her eyes.
Qi Siran had said it so clearly that if she still didn't understand, she'd be a fool. Li Lezhen's eyes turned red.
"You... you actually investigated me!"
"I didn't expect that a wealthy family like yours would like to insult people with money!" Li Lezhen said angrily.
Hearing her words, Qi Siran couldn't help laughing.
"You're right. A wealthy family like ours just likes to insult you with money. It's a pity that you fall for this, isn't it?"
"I know what you're up to. After you enter our family, you'll have countless tens of millions. To put it more exaggeratedly, you'll have endless money." Qi Siran reached out and tapped on the table in front of her. This was her usual action when she was impatient.
"But has Miss Li ever thought about what would happen to a hick like you if you entered a top - tier wealthy family like ours?"
"If you haven't read many books, you must have read quite a few romance novels, right?"
"Little girl, haven't you heard the saying - the wealthy families are heartless?" Qi Siran sized up Li Lezhen from head to toe.
The contempt in her eyes was undisguised.
Seeing her look, Li Lezhen felt embarrassed and tried to hide her shabby shoes, but Qi Siran noticed it.
Qi Siran sneered mockingly.
"A person like you coming to our family, even if you're my mother's biological daughter, would only bring shame to our family."
"Rather than that, you'd better not come in the first place."
"You'll only be the one getting disliked if you stay in our family."
"And if you want to leave then, you won't even get this ten million." After saying these words, Qi Siran looked at Li Lezhen with a half - smile.
She crossed her arms and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, as if giving her enough time to think.
"Think about it, Miss Li. I don't have much patience." Seeing Li Lezhen looking more and more embarrassed, Qi Siran smiled playfully.
She believed that in a short while, Li Lezhen would lose this psychological battle.
After all, an ordinary person like her would probably only yield to this ten million.
But before she could be proud for long, she heard a familiar and cold voice from behind.
"Think about what?"
The next second Qi Siran heard the voice, she quickly straightened up and unexpectedly met a pair of slightly cold eyes.
Mrs. Qi was standing in front of her, looking at Qi Siran.
"Qi Siran, do you know what you were just saying?"
Panic flashed across Qi Siran's eyes quickly. She didn't expect her mother to appear here!
Then she shifted her gaze to Li Lezhen, with a hint of venom in her eyes!
Could it be that this woman secretly tipped off her mother!
Qi Siran quickly thought about how to excuse what she had just said.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi just said coldly to her.
"Answer me. What did you ask her to think about?"
Mrs. Qi's cold voice fell on Qi Siran's heart word by word.
It made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
In her panic, Qi Siran didn't know how to answer Mrs. Qi's question.
She knew that the image of being understanding and welcoming the real daughter home that she had painstakingly built in front of her mother these days had completely shattered.
Moreover, there had already been a rift between her and her mother because of the incident with Shao Yinan.
Now with this incident, her mother would surely dislike her even more!
But at the moment, Qi Siran really couldn't figure out why her mother had suddenly appeared here!
The only thing she could think of was the woman in front of her!
"Miss Li really has good tricks." Qi Siran almost squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.
But after hearing this, the angry look on Mrs. Qi's face became even more obvious.
"Qi Siran! I'm asking you! Do you know what you're doing!"
There was a hint of coldness and imperceptible disappointment in Mrs. Qi's voice.
She didn't expect her daughter to be such a person!
The daughter she had painstakingly raised for more than twenty years had gone astray!
The disappointment in Mrs. Qi's eyes was obvious.
Seeing that the situation had become out of control, Qi Siran couldn't help standing up and confronting Mrs. Qi. She pointed at Li Lezhen and questioned.
"Mom, shouldn't you give me an explanation? You've clearly found your biological daughter. Why have you been hiding it from me again and again?!"
Qi Siran's voice was sharp and shrill.
But unexpectedly, the next second, with a cold smile on her lips, Mrs. Qi uttered a sentence that left her in disbelief.
"Who told you that Li Lezhen is my biological daughter?"
