Chapter 290: Chapter 290: How Dare You Call Doudou a Bastard?

Doudou’s big eyes moved, and she nodded.

“Brother sometimes gets in a bad mood and curses at me like this behind my back…”

It seems like it happens often!

But…

“Bastard”?

Is that how a brother should address his sister?

Li Lingyang’s face was gloomy, as if ink could drip from it at any moment.

As her twin elder brother, how could he say such things?

Could it be because Doudou is close to Chen Bao and Ningning?

“I’m sorry, Doudou, Daddy let you be wronged; I will sort this out for you.”

Li Lingyang looked at his daughter tenderly, his words solemn and gentle, “You are the little princess of the Li Family. As long as Daddy is here, no one can bully you.”

Upon hearing this, a touch of emotion suddenly rose in Doudou’s heart.

At the same time, she felt that Brother Chen Bao was right.

She shouldn’t keep enduring…

“You go play with Great-Grandma first, Daddy has some matters to handle.” As soon as Li Lingyang thought about the grievances his daughter had endured, rage surged up in his heart, and he couldn’t contain it for even a second.

Fearful that his daughter’s frail health would suffer from excessive emotional fluctuations if she confronted Shen Jiangqing and her son, he decided it was best for her to stay away.

Doudou was a bit scared too, so she nodded in agreement.

…

On the second floor, in the children’s bedroom.

Chengcheng thought of Li Lingyang’s arrangement and became somewhat at a loss.

His little face was filled with anxiety.

“Mommy, about the checkup tomorrow, how should we handle it? Should I go and take another cold shower?”

Shen Jiangqing rejected the idea without a second thought, “No, taking a cold shower might cause a fever, which would only make them more suspicious!”

Besides, she couldn’t bear to see her son suffer like this again.

“If we can’t handle it, then tomorrow we just won’t go to the hospital–”

Before she could finish, the door was suddenly pushed open and slammed heavily against the wall!

Shen Jiangqing and Chengcheng hadn’t anticipated someone bursting into the room; they saw a forbidding figure stride in, his face filled with deadly intent, as if he was about to sweep them away.

Shen Jiangqing’s face abruptly changed.

“Mr… Mr. Li?”

He… why is he here?

What did he hear?

Just when Shen Jiangqing hoped Li Lingyang hadn’t heard anything, his voice, full of anger, directly shattered her illusion–

“Shen Jiangqing, so this is how you teach my son?!”

Initially, Li Lingyang had planned to confront Chengcheng about the recording, but he didn’t expect to hear Shen Jiangqing instructing Chengcheng on how to feign illness right at the door!

A murderous intent suddenly rose in his heart.

Taking cold showers…

No wonder Chengcheng’s condition kept recurring!

Shen Jiangqing was startled into trembling, her face instantly turning deathly pale, devoid of any color.

“It’s not like that, let me explain…”

Shen Jiangqing’s mind raced, but in the heat of the moment, it was blank, and she couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation.

“Shen Jiangqing, do you still have any humanity? To instigate a child under five to fake illness by taking cold showers, just so you can return to the Li Family? Did you not think that Chengcheng could really be hurt!”

Shen Jiangqing knew Li Lingyang’s character.

No matter how much she said, it wouldn’t alleviate his suspicions, so she simply started to play the victim, her tears streaming down.

“Aling, I know what I did was wrong, do you think I didn’t suffer when Chengcheng was sick? But I’m at my wits’ end, the only thing I can rely on is my son, I had no other choice but to use this crude method to stay by his side!!”

“Daddy, it was all my idea, if you want to blame someone, blame me, don’t blame Mommy!”

Chengcheng, not wanting Shen Jiangqing to leave him, quickly stood up and spoke.

They… truly displayed a deep mother-son affection!

Li Lingyang’s fury reached its peak in that moment, intolerable.

“Chengcheng, don’t think I don’t know, when Shen Jiangqing was in the mental hospital, she had a phone to contact you! I turned a blind eye to many things, considering your feelings, but you should never have… targeted Doudou!”

Daddy, what does this mean?

Could it be, that treacherous wench Doudou, just ran out to snitch?

No! She wouldn’t dare…

Chengcheng’s heart was in turmoil, he flatly denied it, “Daddy, what are you talking about, I don’t understand!”

“Don’t understand?!” Li Lingyang roared with unrestrainable anger, “Who called her a ‘bastard’?”

Chengcheng’s face turned ashen…

Followed by a towering rage.

How dare that wretched girl Doudou snitch?

Though he was furious and resentful, he continued to dodge and weave.

“Daddy, you must be mistaken; Doudou is my own little sister, even if I am angry, how could I possibly use such words against her, isn’t that also insulting myself?”

Shen Jiangqing also feared that the long-concealed truth would be exposed at this moment.

A gleam flashed in her eyes, and she quickly backed up her son.

“Chengcheng is only a four-year-old child, how could he possibly say such things, maybe Doudou was just upset because she knocked over some water earlier and I scolded her a bit, so she went to you to complain, you mustn’t believe her…”

“She’s been spending too much time with Ningning and Chen Bao, who knows if they instigated her.”

“Aling, you have to believe Chengcheng, Chengcheng and Doudou are twins after all…”

“How could Chengcheng use such vicious words against Doudou?”

So, she knew how venomous the term “bastard” was?

Yet, despite how far things had gone, they were still lying here, showing no remorse until seeing the coffin!

Li Lingyang coldly observed the duplicitous expression of the mother and son, his gaze filled with scorn.

He didn’t speak but simply played Doudou’s recording.

Those words “bastard,” the fierce scolding, belonged distinctly to Chengcheng’s childish voice, ringing in the quiet bedroom, clear and powerful, striking their hearts like a sledgehammer.

Shen Jiangqing and Chengcheng were left dumbfounded, completely frozen in place, ashen-faced.

Chengcheng’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

That sinister, cunning little wretch Doudou, she had secretly recorded him to frame him!

How dare she?

How dare she!!

It’s detestable!

“Now, do you have anything else to say?”

Li Lingyang had long been utterly disappointed in Shen Jiangqing, so he had no expectations of her from the start, but Chengcheng was different, he was his own son.

He kept him by his side, raised him personally, hoping he would soon come back to the right path!

But sadly, he did not treasure this opportunity…

“Daddy, I, I…” Chengcheng’s face was deathly pale, he stuttered and couldn’t find the words, nor did he know how to conclude.
