Chapter 276: He does not deserve it
Lanni could agree that she had a point but, "If I do as they say, then they may set dad free, or they may go back on their promise. But if I don’t go, then they will surely hurt him. Since there is a sliver of hope, why should I give up?"
"I would agree if it was anyone else but him." Li Yuming snickered. "He is not worthy."
Lanni stood up. "He may not be worth it for you since you hate him so much anyway. But to me, he is. I’m willing to risk it all." She turned to go back to her room. If this topic continued, they would fight again.
"He is a murderer." Li Yuming suddenly spoke.
Lanni paused in her steps and turned robotically. Her face went pale in shock when she digested what her mother had just said. "You..."
She was about to ask what her mother meant when in the next second, a chuckle escaped her lips. "To make me give up, you will surely say anything, right? By claiming that he is a murderer, I will hesitate to go and start investigating whether you are telling the truth or not and because of this delay, I will be late. Even if I do go in the end, they might still hurt him.
Oh, and... when I start investigating, who is to say that you will not create some pieces of ’evidence’ to make me believe it?"
Li Yuming broke into a bitter laugh. Was the father-daughter pair so formidable at convincing people, or was her Lanni just too gullible? Or could it be that her capability as a mother was so lowly that her daughter no longer trusted her? She even thought she was capable of coming up with such a meticulous scheme...
No matter what it was, she decided that she would no longer hold back. "Come here." she sat down and patted the space beside her.
