Chapter 191 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 41
"That's because Shen Zhenghua discovered that even under the care of those heartless adoptive parents, Sister Qianyu was still excellent in both character and academics. Based on her grades, getting into a top university would not be a problem at all."
Shen Zhenghua then devised a plan: he revealed that we had been switched at birth, and then, after Qianyu returned to the Shen family, he tried every means to suppress her. However, as the head of the family, he couldn't do it openly.
So, he used me to subtly imply that no matter what I did to Sister Qianyu, I wouldn't be punished; I was the true little princess of the Shen family.
Thus, under his subtle hints, I became increasingly reckless.
Shen Zhenghua vehemently denied it, "Shen Chumo, you really know how to make up stories. My Shen family is a large and powerful family. How could we believe the words of a mere Taoist priest and treat my own daughter like this? This is pure slander!"
Shen Zhenghua was so angry that his face turned red and the veins on his forehead bulged. He glared at Shen Chumo, trying to suppress Shen Chumo's shocking words with this tough attitude.
The three women, including Shen's mother, were filled with doubt and didn't know who to believe.
"Yes, a normal person wouldn't do that, but Shen Zhenghua, you're different. Don't you know how you got to the position of head of the Shen family?"
You have two brothers, and your eldest and second eldest brothers are far more accomplished than you in every aspect. With them around, how could the position of head of the Shen family possibly fall to you?
Unfortunately, both of them died unexpectedly in the same year, and the following year, your father also passed away from a brain hemorrhage. Is this series of misfortunes really just a coincidence?
Shen Chumo's eyes held a hint of mockery and sharpness.
“Shen Zhenghua, do you really think you’ve done something foolproof? Do you know that the person who set up the soul-summoning array in the Shen family is your elder brother’s biological son, Shen Yu? He already knows everything that happened back then and has come to take revenge on you.”
Shen Chumo's voice floated lightly into Shen Zhenghua's ears, yet it sounded like a devil's whisper.
His body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, tracing the lines of his flushed cheeks.
The anger in his eyes was gradually replaced by fear, and his gaze darted around frantically.
Trying to find a glimmer of trust or support on the faces of family members, all I saw was shock, anger, and doubt.
The gaze finally landed on Shen Chumo's mocking and sharp eyes, and like being stared at by a venomous snake, it sent a chill down his spine.
He felt as if he were standing naked in the freezing cold, all his pretenses and secrets were ruthlessly torn away and exposed to everyone, and what awaited him was endless condemnation and punishment.
Seeing Shen Zhenghua's reaction, the others finally believed that Shen Chumo's words were not made up.
Is the person who murders his own brother, father, and daughter really their husband and father?
When Shen's mother thought about how Shen Zhenghua had pushed her without hesitation that night, she felt a chill run down her spine. Shen Zhenghua definitely didn't care about her life.
She shouted, "I want a divorce! Shen Zhenghua! You beast, I want a divorce from you right now!"
Shen Sixuan and Shen Wenlu didn't know what to say. On one hand, they also felt that what Shen Zhenghua had done was extremely immoral.
This is utterly against the bottom line of human ethics and morality. On the other hand, this person happens to be their biological father, and the blood ties between them have plunged them into extreme inner turmoil and struggle.
"Chu Mo, Mo Mo, I was wrong. Please help Dad. You know how much Dad loved you before. Please help me."
As if grasping at the last straw, Shen Zhenghua pleaded with Shen Chumo, disregarding his dignity.
Shen Chumo thought for a moment, "I can give you a method."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Shen Zhenghua's eyes. "What method?"
"Go and turn yourself in, confess all the wrong things you've done to the police, and apologize to Sister Qianyu and Shen Yu. That way you can save the lives of the rest of the Shen family."
"Turn myself in? This... how is that possible? If I turn myself in, I'll definitely be sentenced to death. My reputation, everything I have will be ruined, and the Shen family will be disgraced because of me..."
"So you only care about your own reputation, but you don't care about the lives of your three sons and wife at all, right?"
“I…I…” Shen Zhenghua was speechless.
Shen Sixuan and Shen Wenlu were filled with disappointment, and felt a pang of pain in their hearts.
"That's all for today. I should head back now. You can decide what to do yourselves."
Shen Chumo looked at Shen Zhenghua, whose legs had gone weak and he could no longer stand, with amusement.
"Shen Zhenghua, since you're about to die, I'll tell you one more thing: that Taoist priest from back then was actually my biological father."
Sister Qianyu is blessed with good fortune, while I am the one who is destined to bring misfortune upon the Shen family. Isn't it ridiculous that you would rather believe a stranger of unknown origin than be so cruel to your own daughter?
If you hadn't done that back then, Sister Qianyu would definitely have led the Shen family to a new peak.
You don't know yet, do you? Sister Qianyu is the very popular Fairy Qianyu online right now.
Shen Zhenghua stared wide-eyed at Shen Chumo in disbelief.
"What...what did you say? This...how is this possible?"
His voice was hoarse from extreme shock, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his mind was in complete chaos.
Shen Chumo turned to leave, and Shen Zhenghua roared behind her, "You're not allowed to leave! Come back and explain yourself! This can't be true!"
Shen Sixuan stopped Shen Zhenghua and shouted angrily, "Enough, Dad! Haven't you made enough of a scene? You've done so many wrong things, what do you want now? Are you going to continue being so stubborn?"
Shen Chumo ignored the commotion behind her. The last part was fabricated; she only wanted Shen Zhenghua to know that his prized scheme was nothing but a deception.
Only then can he truly feel regret.
The current level of remorse is as follows: Shen Sixuan - 90%, Shen Wenlu - 97%, Shen's mother - 99%, and Shen's father - 75%.
Today's harvest was plentiful, not bad at all.
Just as I stepped out of the hospital gate,
"Chu Mo!"
Li Shaobei walked up to Shen Chumo with a pleasant surprise, "You've come to see your aunt too? I've been looking for you at your house recently, but I haven't seen you."
Shen Chumo sized up the man in front of her and asked hesitantly, "Are you... Li Shaobei?"
Li Shaobei flicked his hair back and said in what he thought was a cool way, "What's wrong, Chu Mo? It's only been a few days, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
Shen Chumo clicked her tongue twice. Li Shaobei in front of her seemed to have had his life force drained. His cheeks were sunken and his eyes were dark and swollen, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time.
His once deep and bright eyes had become somewhat cloudy, losing their former luster, and he looked exhausted and exuded an indescribable sense of despondency.
It's almost been drained dry by that painting ghost.
