Chapter 221 Shen Panpan is exposed
Shen Li paused for a moment, then instantly figured out where the rumor came from—Shen Panpan was quite shrewd; she married a student from Peking University, and judging by her appearance, her family was quite wealthy.
Too lazy to argue, she said indifferently, "Who's telling the truth and who's lying, just ask Professor He. Would she mistake her own daughter?"
Shen Li said it casually, but Qin Ling actually stormed out in anger.
Less than half an hour later, she returned with slumped shoulders, her face as white as paper, and she was unsteady on her feet.
Lin Yue quickly tried to help her up, but she pushed her away and stared intently at Shen Li.
Qin Ling's lips trembled for a long time before her voice broke: "Professor He said... Shen Panpan was mistaken before, and Shen Li is her only biological daughter."
The fountain pen in Wang Yiyi's hand fell onto the paper with a "thud," spreading a large ink stain.
The Wang family and the Liu family were old acquaintances among merchants in Beijing. They had only recently heard that he had married "Professor He's daughter," and now they realized that Liu Yu had been completely deceived.
What exactly happened in between?
Wang Yiyi secretly rejoiced that she hadn't offended Shen Li during this time.
She felt a little more at ease knowing that Qin Ling was the one who caused the trouble.
She just didn't know if her cousin Du Zhihua still had a chance—after all, Shen Li clearly didn't like her cousin, so what could she do?
Yao Fen didn't care whether Shen Li was Professor He's biological daughter or not.
When they first met, Shen Li was not Professor He's daughter, so their friendship had nothing to do with their status.
In the afternoon class, Wang Yiyi indeed told Liu Yu about Shen Li's background.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu froze, his face filled with disbelief: "You mean, Panpan lied to me?"
He didn't want to believe it, but he didn't have the courage to ask Professor He himself—after all, Wang Yiyi's roommate had already asked, and the answer couldn't be clearer.
When Liu Yu returned home that evening and found his parents absent, he could no longer contain himself and confronted Shen Panpan, demanding, "Shen Panpan, why did you lie to me?"
Seeing his angry expression, Shen Panpan feigned ignorance: "What's wrong, Brother Yu? What happened?"
"I asked Professor He," Liu Yu's voice trembled, "She said you're not her biological daughter at all, Shen Li is! Why did you lie to me?"
Shen Panpan quickly supported her stomach, her body swaying slightly. Her eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her face. "Brother Yu, you know? I just found out too, but I didn't dare tell you, afraid you'd be angry..."
Liu Yu was stunned. It turned out that she really wasn't Professor He's daughter.
He sat down on the sofa, looking lost and blank.
Shen Panpan squatted down beside him, her eyes brimming with tears, and asked, "Brother Yu, do you like me just because I'm Professor He's daughter?"
Liu Yu fell silent.
He couldn't deny that his initial relationship with Shen Panpan was indeed due to her identity as "Professor He's daughter".
But he couldn't admit it, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course not! But you can't lie to me!"
"I didn't lie to you," Shen Panpan sobbed as she defended herself. "When we got married, I was indeed a daughter of the Shen family, and you've seen my household registration. I only found out the truth from my second brother last month when I asked him to put in a good word for us with Professor He."
Seeing her crying so hard she couldn't breathe, and glancing at her swollen belly, Liu Yu's heart softened.
But he didn't notice that someone was already standing at the door—Liu's mother had returned at some point and had heard the entire conversation.
The "professor's daughter-in-law" she had cherished and flaunted everywhere turned out to be an imposter! Mother Liu trembled with rage, and demanded sharply, "What did you just say?!"
Shen Panpan and Liu Yu were startled. Turning around, they saw Liu's mother standing at the door with a livid face.
Shen Panpan was truly panicked now—she had lived in the Liu family for half a year and knew Liu's mother's temper all too well; she was an extremely materialistic person.
She originally intended to appease Liu Yu first, and then keep it a secret from Liu's mother, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to suddenly come back.
Liu's mother rushed to Shen Panpan, grabbed her from beside Liu Yu, and roared, "I'll ask you one more time, what did you just say? You're not Professor He's daughter at all?!"
Shen Panpan turned pale with fright at her mother's anger and quickly looked at Liu Yu for help: "Mom, you've misunderstood, we didn't say anything..."
"Mom, let her go!" Liu Yu quickly stepped forward to pull his mother away. "Let's talk this out. Panpan is pregnant!"
"Get out of the way!" Mother Liu wouldn't listen. "We need to get this straight today. Did she lie to our family?!"
Liu Yu hurriedly pulled his mother away. In the struggle, Shen Panpan suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and fell to the ground, clutching her stomach and crying, "Brother Yu! Take me to the hospital quickly! My stomach hurts so much..."
Liu Yu panicked instantly and yelled at his mother, "Mom! What are you doing?!"
Liu's mother was also stunned, looking at Shen Panpan in pain on the ground, she was at a loss for what to do.
The two quickly took Shen Panpan to the hospital—she was almost due, and was immediately taken to the delivery room upon arrival.
Liu's mother was truly frightened. No matter what, the child had to be born safely first.
Shen Panpan endured the pain in the delivery room all night, and only gave birth to a daughter weakly the next morning.
Upon hearing "it's a daughter," Shen Panpan's heart sank completely.
She thought in despair: Why is God so cruel to her? If it were a son, she would still have a chance to turn things around in the Liu family; but having given birth to a daughter, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to regain her footing.
Now, the only thing to do is to hold onto Liu Yu tightly and have another son as soon as possible.
But with a personality like Liu's mother's, would she give her a chance?
When Liu's mother, who was waiting at the door, heard that she had given birth to a daughter, she didn't even bother to hold her, and her face became even more unpleasant.
Because Liu Yu had classes the next day, his mother urged him to go back to school. He didn't arrive at the hospital until after class, when he learned that he had given birth to a daughter.
Shen Panpan's eyes were red, and she held Liu Yu's hand, saying with deep remorse, "Brother Yu, I'm sorry to have disappointed you. I couldn't give you a son."
Liu Yu is a college-educated person.
Actually, I think both sons and daughters are fine, as long as they are my own children.
"It's okay, my daughter is doing well too."
"But I feel like Mom doesn't really like her daughter," Shen Panpan said softly.
Liu Yu knew what was wrong with his mother.
She loved her son.
But if this daughter is the Shen family's granddaughter, his mother will still like her.
It's just his mother's influence.
His mother was more concerned about the future of the Liu family.
Liu Yu didn't go home from the hospital until very late.
Liu's mother then sent the family's housekeeper to take care of Shen Panpan.
Tell Liu Yu to go home; you have something to tell him.
Shen Panpan knew perfectly well what Liu's mother meant.
She could only sob softly, "Brother Yu, I'm scared because you're not here."
Liu Yu saw this.
After all, she is the wife who gave birth to his child.
After thinking about it, I decided to send the housekeeper back home.
He stayed with Shen Panpan at the hospital.
