CHAPTER 246: CHAPTER 233: YOU WILL REGRET THIS 1

"Li Yanan, get out of the car! Get out!"

Lu Dawei, no longer the silent and submissive man he used to be, had bloodshot eyes as if he hadn’t slept in days.

"I’ll be back soon," Li Yanan said, looking up. The darkness under Lin Zhenxin’s eyes was evident, and his restrained voice carried a trace of heartache.

Initially, Lin Zhenxin was unwilling to let go.

She really loathed how Lu Dawei, as a father, had been so neglectful over these years.

Yet now that something had happened to the Li Family, he showed up immediately.

But once it was confirmed that Li Yanan was willing to get out of the car, Lin Zhenxin eventually let go.

"I’m tired, come back soon," she said.

"Alright, I’ll be right back."

As soon as Li Yanan got out of the car, Lu Dawei rushed forward, but before he could get close, Li Yanan easily avoided him.

"You... the casino is connected to you, isn’t it? All these years... it was you who designed my downfall bit by bit, pushing me into gambling! Li Yanan... how ruthless you are. I’m your father!" Lu Dawei’s eyes were filled with red veins, glaring at Li Yanan with a terrifying intensity!

Upon hearing this, Li Yanan slowly curled his thin lips into a cruel smile.

"So?" The surroundings were covered in silver snow, the ground reflecting clarity, leaving no place for all the ugliness in the world to hide.

"You’ve been planning this all along, haven’t you? You guessed I would take that ten million! That ten million was just for show and came right back to you!"

Back then, Li Yanan gave him two choices.

One was to give him ten million, and they’d have nothing more to do with each other.

The other was to bypass the Li Family.

But back then, Lu Dawei easily chose the first option, taking ten million from Li Yanan’s hand!

"I don’t understand what you’re saying." Although Li Yanan said this, his expression didn’t fully match his words.

"You want to ruin me! You’re avenging your mother, isn’t it enough to take revenge on Mia and Li Yingying, and then Chengze, now it’s my turn..."

Lu Dawei was still wearing the wedding suit from yesterday, wrinkled like pickled vegetables.

After the wedding yesterday, things became chaotic, and no one cared where he went. In fact...

Lu Dawei went to the casino again!

But this time, it wasn’t for gambling. Ever since he took that ten million to cover the gaps, he couldn’t resist falling into it again!

Li Yanan looked indifferently at this man, who, even in middle age, still had a way of making women fall head over heels for him.

Back then, with that face, he made Li Yingying addicted to him like a drug, and the seeds of evil he planted grew and bore evil fruit.

"Yanan, help me once more, twenty-five million... Yanan... you won’t leave me to die, will you?"

Suddenly, Lu Dawei knelt in front of Li Yanan, crying pitifully.

"The Li Family is just an empty shell now, and you’ve got everything you wanted... spare me this time, I beg you!"

Inside the car, Lin Zhenxin expressionlessly watched this scene, as Lu Dawei knelt on the ground begging Li Yanan, and even the guard at the gate was peeking out, seemingly shocked by what was happening!

She suddenly found it laughable.

From yesterday till now, she had experienced physical and mental exhaustion.

Yet at this moment, Lin Zhenxin only felt absurdity.

"Since you think I’m out to get you, why do you think I’d help you again?"

A shadow passed clearly in Li Yanan’s eyes, and it was this shadow that adorned his handsome face inherited from Lu Dawei with a cold and grim flavor.

"Back then, you chose to take that ten million, didn’t you?"

Lu Dawei’s expression twisted, obviously recalling something!

"Yanan, I can’t outsmart you, but don’t forget, you’ll carry that burden for life!"

Lu Dawei brought up old matters again, and Lin Zhenxin heard every word of this conversation clearly from inside the car.

And when Lu Dawei mentioned ’carrying that burden for life’, Lin Zhenxin felt as though a line in her mind suddenly connected!

She slowly widened her eyes, linking the whole matter from the very beginning.

Li Yanan’s consistently restrained attitude, despite clearly telling her that He Nuoxin’s child wasn’t his, he never took the initiative to bring this matter up in front of the He Family...

If there was anything in this world that rendered him speechless...

It could only be a matter of blood relations!

At that moment of realization, the gaze Lin Zhenxin cast upon Lu Dawei was filled with shock and deep disgust!

She never imagined that a father could be so shameless and despicable!

All these years, when Li Yanan was struggling painfully in the Li Family, where was he?

When he was abroad, earning money at the risk of his life, where was he?

Instead, now, Lu Dawei was like a bloodsucking leech, latching onto your flesh and sucking until he’s full!

Whether it’s his own mother, Tu Xinya, perhaps now better known as Susan He, or Lu Dawei, such parents...

Parents like these...

Lin Zhenxin’s clear eyes gradually became shrouded in darkness, misty, leaving one unsure of what she was truly thinking.

Just as Li Yanan and Lu Dawei faced each other, the sound of the car door behind them caught their attention. As Li Yanan turned, Lin Zhenxin was already seated in the driver’s seat without anyone noticing.

Through the windshield, Li Yanan could clearly see her expression, cold and unlike anything he’d seen before.

Suddenly, as though he’d realized something, Li Yanan quickly ran toward the car.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Zhenxin imitated what he had previously done, slowly starting the car.

She drove very slowly, almost at a snail’s pace, yet in a blink, she was in front of Lu Dawei.

"Zhenxin, stop, open the door!"

Li Yanan quickly tapped on the car door, his expression as serious as could be, but even so, Lin Zhenxin remained unmoved.

At first, Lu Dawei didn’t take it seriously, but when the car headed straight for him, without hesitation and seemingly with accelerating intent, his heart skipped a beat!

Propping himself up on his elbows, he retreated repeatedly, not caring how ridiculous his actions looked.

The tires made a dull sound as they crunched on the snow, and just when Lu Dawei’s heart was about to leap out of his throat, the sound of brakes suddenly screeched!

Whether by coincidence or not, the tire landed precisely under Lu Dawei’s foot, another inch, and it would have run him over!

With a click, the car door, previously locked, finally unlocked, and Li Yanan immediately opened the door, his chest heaving as he gazed at the still-expressionless Lin Zhenxin.

"Lu Dawei, listen!" She slowly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, her snow boots sinking into the white snow.

"As long as I’m around, don’t expect to get a cent from Yanan again!"

With cold eyes, Lin Zhenxin stared at the shocked and terrified Lu Dawei, realizing that some people are not born to be parents.

"No matter what you use as a threat!"

"Even if your husband slept with He Nuoxin?" Lu Dawei recovered, his expression animated.

"Really? Then you must not know, He Nuoxin got pregnant afterward! Now I’m curious... this child..."

Standing in the snow, Lin Zhenxin’s expression remained cold and stern.

"Should it be said to be Yanan’s child? Or Yanan’s brother?"

Perhaps because of Lin Zhenxin’s words, it wasn’t just Lu Dawei who was stunned, even Li Yanan was stunned as well!

"The truth can’t be buried forever, no matter how beautiful the facade, false is always false!"

She spoke slowly, as if ensuring Lu Dawei took in every word.

Every sentence carried a warning!

"You’ll regret it, for all that you’ve done in the past!"

Inside the garage.

Lin Zhenxin sat in the passenger seat, silent, just as Li Yanan kept his gaze forward.

"Is this the truth you couldn’t articulate?" After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhenxin softly spoke, her voice laced with suppressed pain!

"Lin Zhenxin, you’re not allowed to do such things again in the future!" His hand gripped the steering wheel tightly, clearly wanting to steer away from this topic!

"Is this the truth you’ve been hiding all along?" Lin Zhenxin didn’t allow him to evade.

Li Yanan didn’t speak, but the veins on his forehead throbbed prominently.

"Li Yanan, answer me!" Lin Zhenxin reached out, forcibly turning his face to face her.

"Do you think you’re dirty? That you’re as despicable and shameless as your father?" she said, tears running down her cheeks.

Seeing her tears, Li Yanan’s thin lips moved.

But he couldn’t utter a word.

Those shameful, dirty words were stuck in his throat, they left him speechless.

"Why give him money? Knowing he’ll endlessly threaten you! When did this happen? Why not tell me!"

Holding Li Yanan’s neck, Lin Zhenxin buried her face in his nape, her voice soft, but laden with heartache and unwillingness.

The trembling hand finally settled on Lin Zhenxin’s waist, slowly tightening, pulling her into his arms.

"Zhenxin, I’ve always been so afraid." This was the first time Li Yanan was willing to admit his vulnerabilities.

"The blood of that man runs in my veins. Will I become like him?"

"Selfish, ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve my goals, even at the cost of everything around me!"

"Will I become that kind of man?" Li Yanan spoke softly, and Lin Zhenxin’s hand holding onto his shirt front tightened even more.

"You’re so wonderful, and yet I’m so filthy. I’m not worthy of you..."

"No... It’s not like that!" It was the first time Lin Zhenxin heard Li Yanan describe himself this way.

Was this really how he saw himself, deep down, such a deplorable man?

"You’re clean, pure, living earnestly every day! Li Yanan, you’re nothing like Lu Dawei!"

She said, choking on her words, aching for his endurance and fear.

"These hands were the ones that reached out to me without hesitation in my hardships."

"These feet were the ones that raced to me without calm in times of danger."

"This is the person who never hesitated to hold me in his arms when I’m sad."
