Third Master's original wife!
When Li Se heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Third Master was undoubtedly Li Shenjun, his father.
If this Wan Qiuying was Li Shenjun's original wife, then his mother was a mistress?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Li Se felt truly uncomfortable. He had always thought his mother was Li Shenjun's original wife, perhaps due to differences in status, which prevented them from being together. After all, for a large family like the Li family, matching social standing was crucial.
Thus, Li Shenjun had no choice back then. But at least, after so many years, he hadn't remarried, which made Li Se feel a little better.
But he never expected that Li Shenjun actually had an original wife!
"What do you mean by giving me this woman's information? Are you trying to say that I'm just an illegitimate child?" Li Se's voice grew a little cold, clearly not in a good mood. He just felt his mother was wronged.
Lin Junhao's expression was peculiar. After a long silence, he finally said, "Actually, what I want to tell you is that Third Master only had this one woman in his life, and no other women!"
When Li Se heard this, his expression changed drastically. He had already understood the implication in Lin Junhao's words. This meant that his mother had never been with Li Shenjun. Then what was he? Was he not Li Shenjun's son?
But all signs now indicated that Li Shenjun was his father. So what was going on?
Wait!
As if thinking of something, a cold glint flashed in Li Se's eyes. "Are you trying to tell me that this is my mother?"
When intelligent people talk, they only need a hint. Lin Junhao knew that Li Se would definitely guess this. He immediately nodded. "Yes, Wan Qiuying is your mother. The woman you consider your mother now is not your real mother; she was just a maid by Wan Qiuying's side back then."
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Li Se. He suddenly stood up, his gaze even colder than before, staring intently at Lin Junhao.
He couldn't accept this, but he also knew that Lin Junhao wouldn't joke about such a matter.
"Dr. Li, I have no reason to lie to you about this. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Third Master," Lin Junhao said solemnly.
Li Se took a deep breath, slowly sat down, and looked at Lin Junhao. "Regardless, this is my own business. Why did you suddenly come to tell me all this? What is your purpose?"
Lin Junhao shrugged. "I know my sister likes you. So after I investigated this matter, I thought of telling you immediately. I actually found out a few days ago but hesitated for several days. I thought such an important matter should be told to you."
This was, of course, nonsense.
Normally, this would be an old matter, but the fact that Lin Junhao could investigate this now clearly showed that it was done for Li Se. As for the purpose, Li Se couldn't quite figure it out.
After all, investigating this matter seemed to bring no benefit to the Lin family. Or perhaps, they intended to use this investigation result to get closer to him?
But that wasn't necessary either, as Li Se's relationship with the Lin family was actually quite good. 筷書閣
Li Se frowned, his expression somewhat unpleasant, as he found this matter difficult to accept. But upon closer reflection, he could see some underlying currents.
For instance, he had been in the capital for so many days, yet his mother had never inquired about how Li Shenjun had been doing all these years.
He occasionally called his mother during this period, but she never proactively asked about Li Shenjun, not even a bit.
Initially, Li Se didn't think much of it, believing his mother still resented Li Shenjun for being abandoned for twenty years. But seeing this investigation result now, he felt there was something fishy.
Similarly, Li Shenjun had never cared about his mother, as if she wasn't the woman he once had. Based on his understanding of Li Shenjun, he should be a man who valued relationships, and it was impossible for him not to inquire about his mother at all, or even to not have thought about going to Qingyun City.
Now that he thought about it, he realized he had been too negligent. Many things he hadn't paid much attention to before could now be used to prove that this investigation result was very likely true.
Wan Qiuying!
Could this be his biological mother?
Li Se fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed, and a cold glint in his eyes. In his heart, Chen Xiulian would always be his mother, even if they weren't related by blood, it wouldn't matter. However, he still felt a pang of sadness.
"Dr. Li, I've told you what I found out. Also, if you truly want to know the answer, you can directly ask Third Master!" Lin Junhao said.
"I understand," Li Se replied with a nod, then got up and left immediately.
Lin Junhao watched Li Se's retreating back, a complex expression in his eyes. After a moment, he took out his phone and called his father, Lin Wunan.
"How was it?" Lin Wunan's voice came through the phone as soon as it was connected.
"Dad, I've informed Li Se of the investigation results. However, what is our purpose in doing this? It doesn't seem to benefit us in any way. Moreover, investigating this feels too deliberate," Lin Junhao also felt curious. This was an old matter, from twenty years ago. Now that the Lin family was specifically investigating this, any intelligent person like Li Se could guess that the Lin family was targeting him.
Such an obvious move seemed rather unskillful.
At least a subtle approach would have been better, but Lin Wunan directly told him to inform Li Se, which was too direct.
"Heh heh, Junhao, it seems you still don't understand Li Se's capabilities. If he finds out that his biological mother did not die a natural death, what do you think he will do?" Lin Wunan chuckled.
Lin Junhao's pupils constricted at his words. "Dad, you mean..."
"It's best understood than explained. I can only say that the waters in the capital have been too calm for too long, and it's time to stir things up. And the Li family, do they really think they are unshakeable? Perhaps they haven't taken Li Se seriously yet, but the Li family will pay the price for this," Lin Wunan said with a smile.
Lin Junhao seemed puzzled. "Dad, do you mean that Wan Qiuying's death back then was related to the Li family?"
"Alright, our objective has been achieved. By telling Li Se this investigation result, we are essentially making him owe us a favor. Whether it was deliberate or accidental, it's a debt of gratitude, and he must repay it!" Lin Wunan said lightly.
