Chapter 871 A PIECE OF PAPER  

Li Shen gritted his teeth. He was fuming in rage. "Xiao Lan, who is the father of your children?"

Mu Lan was confused. She didn't understand why he asked this question all of a sudden. Her mind was clouded with revenge. She cared about nothing more.

"Answer me!" Li Shen trembled as he raised his tone.

Mu Lan narrowed her red eyes. Her tone was threatening when she said, "Watch your tone when you talk to me. I'm not obliged to answer your question. I owe you nothing."

"You owe me everything!" Li Shen snapped at her. Blue veins popped out of his temple. he couldn't control his anger or hopelessness.

As they were arguing, none of them noticed that a snake became conscious and moved towards the castle. Mrs. Li was controlling it. She used her last bit of power to take it inside the castle without a problem. She was behind Mu Lan, so Mu Lan didn't discover her plan and Li Shen was busy dealing with Mu Lan. He trusted his mother. There was no way he would find out.

Mu Lan let out a laugh. "I owe you! Remarkable! Has your idiotic brain forgotten how you made me suffer? Why do you think I owe you and not you to me?"

"I didn't forget what I have done to you." Li Shen saw Mu Lan raising her left eyebrow. "But I wouldn't have done it if you didn't make us suffer?"

Mu Lan felt that it was a ridiculous conversation. She shrugged. "I didn't meet you until you went to the university. How come I made you all suffer when I didn't know you?"

Li Shen put his left hand in his pocket and took out a piece of paper. He threw it at Mu Lan and said, "See for yourself."

Mu Lan caught the paper with her right hand and then unfolded it after taking a glance at Li Shen's frosty expression. When she looked at the paper, she froze at first and after that she was stunned. She was left speechless looking at the paper.

Later, she looked at Li Shen and asked, "What is the meaning of this?" Her eyes were throwing daggers at it.

Li Shen could feel the sharpness of her gaze. He didn't flinch. He coldly said, "I'm not joking. I'm not in the mood to do so. This paper isn't lying either."

It didn't seem like he was making it up. Mu Lan narrowed her eyes. "It's impossible." She refused to admit what she saw.

Li Shen said, "This is what I thought so when I first found out. That's why I went to your school that year to check it by myself." He wasn't worried about her trusting him or not. He knew that she wouldn't believe him at first. But the proof was right here on her hand.

Everything became clear to Mu Lan. Now, she had a good idea about his behavior in the past. She realized why he had warmed up to her at first and then became excessive cold. Why he made her suffer. Why he chose her sister after playing with her heart. Her lips trembled while saying, "So, you knew before I knew you."

Li Shen admitted. "I did." He had nothing to hide from her as he let her know the truth behind his action.

Mu Lan asked, "When did you first know my existence?" The more she thought about it, the more her head was getting clearer and her heart was becoming colder.

He replied, "When you were only four years old. But a year later you disappeared. I found you ten years later."

Mu Lan licked her lower lip before biting it slightly. She couldn't help but chuckle. "Then, may I think that you planned to play with my heart and later you threw me out?"

Li Shen admitted, "Yes, that's true. I planned it and afterward, I became your lecturer that year."

Mu Lan gave him an unsmiling smile. "I don't have to guess that you hated me since I was a child."

Li Shen nodded. "You are right about that."

Mu Lan looked at him steadily. "Just because of a piece of paper."

"Just because of the truth!" Li Shen became emotional. He felt furious and helpless at the same time. He wanted her to be him but it seemed that no matter how much he tried, he couldn't be with her. She wouldn't be with him willingly after he let her know the truth. He knew it would end up like that and that's why he kept it a secret for so long and didn't let her know. But it was all over. The only thing he could do was to force her to be with him.

Mu Lan laughed out loudly. "Li Shen, are you saying that you are in love with me despite everything you have experienced and let me experience?"

Li Shen trembled. "I fell in love with you after knowing you. I knew it wasn't your fault but I had to hurt you for my mother and younger brother's sake. I owe them this much. You cannot blame me for it. This is what you deserve. But look, I'm benevolent. I still love you despite what you have done. I still love you, Xiao Lan. It's the truth."

"Are you saying that you want to have a family with me despite I'm your blood-related step-sister?" Mu Lan smiled coldly. Her eyes were losing their warmth. "You understand what I'm, asking, don't you?"

Her grip on the paper tightened. The paper she was holding in her hand was a DNA test result of Mu Lan and Mr. Li, Li Shen's father. The result said that their DNA matched 99.99%.
