The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 39 The Taste of Home

The neighbors who heard all of this were dumbfounded.

How could there be such shameless people in the world?

And not just one, but a whole nest of them!

This was just a small trick Chen Xiao used, a Truth Talisman.

Anyone affected by this talisman would speak against their will.

What they said would be the truth in their hearts!

At this moment, Chen Xiao said, "Sun Li, your mother said that I made you get together with Long Yaoyang, just to swindle money to treat my mother's illness. Is that true?"

Sun Li rolled her eyes:

"Of course not. What do you think you are?"

"I wish your mother would die sooner rather than later. Would I swindle money to treat her illness? What a joke!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhen turned her head to the side. This Sun Li was truly as venomous as a snake.

Chen Xiao sneered, "Then let me ask you again, why did you come back to me?"

A look of hatred appeared in Sun Li's eyes:

"Isn't it all because of that bastard Long Yaoyang? He's neither alive nor dead, and he doesn't answer his phone!"

"I guess he doesn't want me anymore. I have to find someone to take over."

"Although you are poor and incompetent, at least you have a formal job, so I chose you to take over."

At this point, the truth was revealed.

Needless to say, Chen Xiao and his family, even the neighbors were so angry that their teeth itched.

"Tch, this is the first time in my life that I've seen such a shameless person. Chen Xiao must have been blind to fall for you!"

"Her mother even turned black into white, making false accusations first!"

"This family is a nest of snakes and rats, none of them are good people!"



Sun Li acted as if she didn't hear the condemnation from the people around her.

Sun's father couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to give his daughter a hard slap!

*Slap!*

This slap was loud enough.

It not only frightened the surrounding people into silence, but also sobered Sun Li up.

"Dad, why did you hit me?"

Sun Li covered her face and asked in disbelief.

Sun's father stomped his feet angrily, "You slut, how dare you ask me?"

Although the Truth Talisman would disrupt Sun Li's mind, it would not erase her memory.

Sun Li had already recalled what she had just said, and she was immediately exasperated.

"Chen Xiao, is this your doing?"

"What did I do?"

"If you didn't do something, how could I have told the truth?"

As soon as she said this, it was like saying "I have three hundred taels of silver buried here," further confirming her despicable shamelessness.

Sun's father was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He grabbed Sun Li's ear.

"You dead girl, come home with me now!"

At this point, the Sun family dared not linger any longer and scurried away.

Only Sun Li's heart-wrenching curses echoed in the corridor.

"Chen Xiao, you remember this, this matter is not over! Long Yaoyang's disappearance must be related to you! Just you wait!"

Chen Xiao remained noncommittal, smiled indifferently, and said to his mother and Li Ziqing:

"Let's go home."

Back home, Liu Zhen was overjoyed.

She stared at Li Ziqing with unblinking eyes, so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

"This girl is really good-looking, Chen Xiao, when did you two get together? Why didn't you tell Mom?"

Just as Chen Xiao was about to explain, Liu Zhen said again:

"Oh, I shouldn't meddle in the affairs of you young people, or I'll be disliked!"

Li Ziqing pursed her lips and smiled. Although she was misunderstood by Chen's mother, she didn't explain.

Chen Xiao was speechless, "Mom, you've misunderstood, actually..."

Li Ziqing grabbed Chen Xiao's arm with a look of shyness.

"Mom said there's no need to explain, but you still have to say it? If you're not embarrassed, I am!"

Chen Xiao's eyes widened. How could she even call her "Mom"?

What tricks was this woman playing again?

"Girl, you and Chen Xiao sit down first, I'll make dumplings for you!"

Liu Zhen left these words and went to make dumplings, her heart filled with joy.

Chen Xiao glared at Li Ziqing fiercely, "That's my mom, not your mom!"

Li Ziqing made a face at Chen Xiao, not caring at all.

"Tch~"

She didn't explain. Her tears weren't an act.

She just tasted a long-lost flavor in the dumplings.

That was the taste of home.
