Chapter 65 The "Truth" Meng Yuheng Denies
The steward, having received his master's order, dared not delay in the slightest. He first had someone cover Meng Zigao's mouth, and then rushed to Meng Zigao's side, a fierce glint in his eyes.
With a swift movement, he slashed the knife across Meng Zigao's wrist, leaving a bloody gash.
Bright red blood flowed down his wrist, dripping into two porcelain bowls placed on the ground.
As blood continued to flow into the bowl, the once snow-white bowl was stained crimson.
At this moment, Meng Zigao's face was contorted with extreme fear due to the excruciating pain, and even though his mouth was gagged, he continued to curse incessantly.
But the steward didn't care about any of that. He pushed Meng Zigao aside, then turned around, grabbed Meng Yuheng's arm, and forcibly dragged him in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, the butler mercilessly deepened the wound on Meng Yuheng's finger that had just been cut, almost severing his finger.
The sudden pain caused Meng Yuheng to scream in agony, but the steward remained unmoved and instead increased the pressure on his hands.
In an instant, the wound that had stopped bleeding reopened, and bright red blood gushed out, quickly staining Meng Yuheng's entire palm.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the blood in the two bowls began to mix together at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually becoming completely indistinguishable.
Seeing this, Li's father revealed a smug smile. He pointed to the bloody water in the bowl and said to Meng Yuheng:
"Well? Now you should believe me, right? You are your Uncle Meng's—no, I should say your biological father Meng's—son! Hmph, let's see what you have to say now. Besides, I, Li Chuan, don't have a son like you!"
"Lanwei, do you see? He really isn't my child. I didn't betray you. Please don't be angry with me anymore."
Father Li fawned over his loyalty, but only received a cold look from Mother Li, and immediately shut his mouth!
Meng Yuheng stared blankly at the blood in the bowl, which had already fused together, with dead fish eyes, standing there dumbfounded as if he had lost his soul.
A moment later, he suddenly came to his senses and let out a hysterical roar of "Ahhh..."
"Liar! You're all liars! You've been deceiving me all along! This isn't real! It's absolutely not real!"
Meng Yuheng frantically waved his hands, trying to break free from the butler's grasp. However, no matter how much he struggled and resisted, he could not change the reality before him.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts left him speechless, leaving him with no choice but to believe it.
Despite his deep reluctance, when faced with the harsh reality, he found himself unable to find any reason to argue. A sense of powerlessness washed over him, leaving him helpless and at a loss.
The so-called "truth" that he had believed in for over twenty years turned out to be an elaborate deception.
This sudden blow was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering his mental world. He cried out to his parents, his face filled with despair and disbelief:
"Father, Mother, you must be lying to me, right? Tell me, this isn't true..."
When Meng Zigao, whom he called "father," saw the crazed Meng Yuheng, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on Meng Zigao and no one was paying attention to him, he...
Meng Zigao's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly covered his bleeding wrist and ran out, because he knew that no one in the Li residence would care whether he lived or died, and no one would bandage his wound.
No, he needs to find a doctor to bandage his wounds right away, otherwise he will bleed to death if he stays in the Li residence any longer.
Pan Ranyue turned her head sharply to look around, and to her astonishment, she couldn't see Meng Zigao anywhere! She was so angry that she stomped her feet on the ground, wishing she could stomp a hole in it.
"That damned Meng Zigao..." she muttered through gritted teeth, "How could he do this? He just abandoned us, mother and son, and sneaked away! Could everything Li Chuan said before have been true?"
In an instant, a deep hatred welled up in Pan Ranyue's heart, and she began to curse Meng Zigao madly in her heart, cursing him to suffer all kinds of misfortunes and die a horrible death...
Pan Ranyue glared at Li Chuan with resentment, her eyes flashing with unwillingness and anger. Why? Why? What is it about her that she doesn't have compared to that despicable woman, Zhang Lanwei? Why can't you fall in love with her?
hehe......
A self-deprecating chuckle escaped her lips.
At that moment, her eyes flickered slightly as she realized that Meng Zigao had already run away, and she obviously couldn't count on him anymore.
Since that's the case, Pan Ranyue's face instantly turned gloomy. Fortunately, apart from the blood test, Li Chuan had no other evidence to prove that the son was not his, otherwise he would definitely not have let her and the son go.
Now she's made up her mind to go all the way and deny it to the end, so he can't do anything about it!
Thinking of this, Pan Ranyue suddenly turned around, pointed at Li Tingxue and the others opposite her, and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Hmph! Look at your ugly mouths. Now you've finally revealed your true thoughts, haven't you? In the end, aren't you just afraid that my son will become successful in the future and threaten your current status and wealth?"
Therefore, to resort to such despicable and vile means to prevent him from acknowledging his ancestors is utterly shameless and outrageous!
Hearing her mother's words, Meng Yuheng, who had been feeling utterly hopeless, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope rekindle in her heart.
That's right! The mastermind behind this must be those few members of the Li family who are secretly causing trouble and spreading rumors.
Could it be that Li Xingzhou was worried that once he was recognized as a member of the family, he would take away the 70% of the family property that rightfully belonged to him, so he deliberately tampered with the water to sow discord between him and his "biological father" Li Chuan?
They were just afraid that if he achieved something in the future and rose to prominence, he would surpass his eldest son. What a clever scheme.
Sometimes, when a person stops wanting to hear what they believe, they become blind to reality and only believe what they perceive as fact.
[Hehe, well! Are you in too much of a hurry? You actually blurted out your true feelings?]
You look down on Meng Zigao because he's just an ordinary merchant and doesn't care about the little money he earns, while you think Li Chuan is a high-ranking official with money, who can guarantee you a life of wealth and luxury.
