"He'll believe it." Xing Ruyi also sat down: "Do you know about DNA testing?" ”

"I'm my dad's biological daughter."

"Then are you Mrs. Li's biological daughter?" Xing Ruyi smiled and asked: "The child is the continuation of the bloodline of the parents, and this bloodline refers not only to the father's bloodline, but also to the mother's." I know that you did a DNA test with Li Dewang, but the test results can only prove the father-daughter relationship between you and Li Dewang, but not the mother-daughter relationship between you and Mrs. Li. As long as Mrs. Li asks you to make another parent-child certificate with her, it will be clear in an instant whether you are Li Run or not. ”

Li Mu lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

"I can see you're not happy." Xing Ruyi looked at the furnishings in the bedroom: "If you covet Li Run's identity and the wealth behind this identity, you should like this room very much." But no, you're not happy, I don't see the slightest bit of happiness on your face. ”

"I don't like money." Li Mu said softly: "Of course, what I said didn't like it, not that kind of dislike." People are alive, and it is difficult to move an inch without money, but since I was a child, I have not been so short of money. My room, indeed, is not as big as this, this one is pretty, but it is not cold. ”

"Do you admit that you are not Li Run?"

"Yes, I'm not Li Run, I'm Li Mu."

"Is it your mother's meaning to become Li Run?"

Li Mu nodded lightly and looked at the photo on the dresser: "I don't know what happened between my mother and Li Dewang, I only know that my mother told me when I was very young that I shouldn't live my current life, I should have been born in a wealthy family, and neither she nor I should have worked so hard." When I grew up, she told me that it was Li Dewang who abandoned our mother and daughter. We can do without him, but we can't not get back what we deserve. Those things are money. ”

"But you don't seem to hate your father at all, that is, Li Dewang."

"I've been with my mother since I was sensible, and I'm very unfamiliar with the word dad, and I'm also unfamiliar with Li Dewang. When I grew up, I began to get in touch with the news, and I knew from the news that Li Dewang had a wife and a daughter, and the current group was also made by him and his wife from scratch and worked hard together. Her daughter is a little older than me, but she's only a few months older. I'm not a fool, just by looking at the timeline, it's clear what role my mother played in this entanglement, and what role I played here.

My mom is a strong woman, she has her own business, and she can do it. I also don't feel like we need Lee Dewang to take care of us for a day. I don't like the current state, and I don't like Li Dewang's money. People, we can't do it without money, but if we have too much money, we can't buy the kind of tranquility and happiness we want. ”

"Did you say that to your mother?"

"Yes, but she either called me stupid or scolded me. Slowly, I won't talk about it. She's my mother, and it's not easy for me to grow up alone, and I don't want her to be sad. ”

"What about your half-sister Li Run?"

"She probably didn't know I existed." Li Mu smiled bitterly: "I probably saw her for the first time when I was three or four years old." Outside the door of an aristocratic kindergarten, my mother pointed to the little girl in a little yellow dress who was sitting alone on a swing and told me that she was Li Run, my half-sister. My mom also said that if it weren't for her mom, I would be the one sitting on the swing frame right now. But I don't think it's any good to sit there, because she doesn't have the slightest smile on her face. Later, I finally knew why she didn't smile, because the other children had their parents to pick her up, but she only had a nanny and a driver. At that time, my mother had just started her business, and her life was not hard, but it was definitely not easy, but no matter how busy she was, she would go to the kindergarten to pick me up, and I felt that I was happier than Li Run. ”

Li Mu finally had a smile on his face: "The next time I saw her was when I was in elementary school, we were in the same elementary school, but I was one grade lower than her." The school was huge, there were seven or eight classes in each grade, and there were about sixty children in each class, so I knew her, but she didn't recognize me. She rarely laughs, but the fight is very strong, and those male classmates don't dare to bully her. Sometimes, when she encounters a female classmate who is bullied, she will come forward to rescue, like a heroine in a TV series. Although my mom wouldn't let me get close to her, I really liked this older sister. ”

Xing Ruyi looked down at the cat in his arms.

The kitten opened its mouth and was about to speak, but when she saw Xing Ruyi's threatening gaze, she closed the cat's mouth again.

She is Li Run, the Li Run who has learned taekwondo and women's self-defense since she was a child, but she is now a cat, a cat that can be abused by humans in minutes. The gaze that Xing Ruyi had just now was telling her that if she dared to speak human words, she would instantly skin her cat.

"When I was in high school, we had a street across the school. The high school entrance examination is based on her strength, she studied very well, was admitted to the best high school in our city, and became a goddess-level figure in the school. I studied mediocrely, and I could barely get into the high school opposite their school. Because of this, my mother hit me for the first time in her life because she felt that the daughter she gave birth to was not as good as someone else's. ”

"This, can also blame you?"

"Mom, she probably thinks I'm not working hard enough." Li Mu continued to smile astringently: "I also want to be admitted to the same high school as her, but really, some things are reluctantly impossible to come." Probably because my IQ is not high enough, the more desperately I try to learn well, the more I can't learn well. When the high school entrance examination was approaching, I became very anxious and almost fainted in the examination room. I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I was very happy when I learned that I had been admitted to the high school opposite her, because I felt that it was beyond my imagination. ”

"When you were in high school, did you cross paths?"

"I've met her on the street a few times, but each time she's surrounded by people, both boys and girls. She's a very powerful and popular girl. Compared to her, I look a little more ordinary. Every day is a regular class, class, and homework. Throughout high school, I didn't even receive a single love letter. ”

"Really, not?"

"No, not really." Li Mu smiled, and his smile became shy: "I remember that at that time, many classmates were secretly in love, and I also thought about what my future boyfriend would be like." But every time I think about it, her shadow appears in my mind. Then, I thought, I probably won't like boys for the rest of my life. ”

"Have you ever been to that last consultation room in a beauty salon?" Xing Ruyi asked suddenly.

Li Mu didn't think about it, but looked up at Xing Ruyi and replied, "My mother's beauty salon?" No. ”

"Your mother's own beauty salon, you haven't even been to it?"

"I've been, but I rarely wander around it. Almost everyone there knows that the dean is my mother, so when they see me, they are a little reserved and uncomfortable. They went to work in the beauty salon, and they didn't come to see me, the daughter of the director, and I was embarrassed to affect them because of wandering. Is there anything in the last consultation room? ”

"There's a dark room in the last consultation room, and there's a lot of animal skeletons stacked up in the dark room. In the center of the skeleton, there is a gray jar in which a newborn baby is soaked. Directly above the gray jar, there is a photo, half of the photo is Li Run, half is you. ”

"Wait a minute." Li Mu suddenly held his forehead: "Skeletons, jars, photos, how do I feel as if I have seen these things." ”

"Seen?"

"I think I've seen it, but not in a dark room, and not in my mother's beauty salon." Li Mu got up, walked around the bedroom a few times, suddenly patted his head, and said: "I remember, it is in a Taoist temple, a particularly dilapidated Taoist temple, and there are no tourists going to it at all." ”

"What does that Taoist temple look like?"

"It's like in a deep recess. When I went, it was supposed to be winter, and there was nothing around. The door of the Taoist temple is halfway up. Wooden doors, very shabby kind. There was a bamboo pole next to the door, and a flag was hung on the bamboo pole, which was supposed to be the name of the Taoist temple, but I didn't look at it carefully. The temple was very ordinary, and there was no incense, I remember, my mother took me directly to my room. There are futons in the house, but there are no Buddha statues, so you can smell the incense sticks, but you can't see the incense burners or braziers that light the incense sticks. ”

"What is your mother taking you to the Taoist temple for?"

"I said that I was going to relax, but when I got to that place, I asked me to worship the gods and ask for protection. The Taoist priest was a very old Taoist priest, and I saw that he had a lot of white beards. Later, he took out something and wiped it on my face, shoulders, legs, and soles of my feet. It smelled like dead fish. Then I went home, and I haven't been to that temple again in all these years. ”

"Did anything particularly strange happen after that?"

"Strange things...... Is it strange to think that you are becoming more and more like her? Li Mu looked at the photos on the wall and asked.

"With whom?"

"Li Run! When I came out of the Taoist temple, my mother kept telling me not to wash off my face, at least to survive at midnight at night. Later, I couldn't take it anymore and washed it off with water. That thing, how do you say that? It looks like mud made of red clay, but it's very thin and has an unpleasant fishy and fishy smell. When I looked in the mirror, I suddenly realized that I was actually a little similar to her. I can't tell where it looks, but I think it's very similar at first glance. ”
