So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

It was nearly ten o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Li sat in the living room, anxiously awaiting Canglan's return. They were restless, their unease growing stronger, as if something bad was about to happen.

Li Chu paced back and forth in the living room, looking anxious. "Li Ning, did the driver say that Nana went shopping with you? Why is Nana still not back even though you're back?"

Li Ning's eyes darted around, and she seemed to have something to hide. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "I didn't go shopping with Nana. I saw that the driver didn't come to pick us up, and since I didn't see Nana, I went straight home."

Mother Li looked at Li Chu and Li Ning with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong with Li Chu? Nai Nai just texted me and said she's on her way back."

Hearing this, Li Chu breathed a slight sigh of relief, while Li Ning became even more flustered. She thought to herself: Logically speaking, Li Nai should be being taken advantage of by Zhang Peng and his gang of thugs right now. If something had happened, Zhang Peng would definitely have sent her a message.

Just as Li Ning was at a loss, the door opened.

Seeing Li Nai return unharmed, Li Ning turned pale with fright. "Nai Nai, why...why are you so late?"

"Isn't this all thanks to you?" Cang Lan looked at Li Ning with icy eyes.

Mr. and Mrs. Li looked bewildered. "Nai Nai, what happened?"

"Nai Nai, what are you saying!" Li Ning tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled slightly.

"Dad, Mom, brother, Li Ning hired a group of thugs to kidnap me! If I hadn't found out in advance, I would have been tortured to death by now." Cang Lan's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in the living room like a bombshell.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the eyes of the Li family members fell on Li Ning.

Li Ning panicked and hurriedly waved her hands in denial, "No, that's not how it is, Dad, Mom, I didn't, I didn't do that."

Li Chu's face immediately darkened. He frowned, wearing an expression that said, "I knew it." From the very beginning, he felt that Li Ning was no pushover. Especially when his mother brought her back, Li Chu had keenly noticed that Li Ning's gaze towards Li Nai was always strange.

At first, he thought that Li Ning hadn't adapted to life here yet, and that her abusive father had left her with a trauma, which was why she was stubborn and loving. But he never expected that she would be so audacious as to do something as heinous as hiring someone to kidnap Li Nai.

Li's parents stared at Li Ning in disbelief, their faces ashen.

Father Li said with a heavy heart, "We adopted you to give you a good life, not wanting you to be left without anyone to care for you at such a young age. For so many years, we've raised you like our own daughter. Nana has always been good to you, always thinking of buying you something delicious or pretty. Why were you so cruel as to hire thugs to kidnap her?"

Li Ning's face was full of anger and resentment. She clenched her fists and shouted, "Didn't you adopt me just so that I could keep Li Nai company? Do you treat me like your own daughter? No matter what good things there are, your first thought is always Li Nai. You say you'll give me a share, but that's just something you do casually. Who cares? She's not good at studying, yet you've already arranged her future. Don't think I don't know, you're just biased!"

Hearing Li Ning's hysterical screams, the Li family was filled with shock and disappointment. Li's father was trembling with rage; he pointed at Li Ning but couldn't utter a word. Li's mother's eyes were red-rimmed, tears welling up.

They felt that all their efforts over the years had been wasted, and they had raised an ungrateful child.

Adopt her as a playmate? How could she even think of that? If she wasn't genuinely interested in adopting her, who would dare be related to someone like that, given that her father just got out of jail?

Buying her things is just a convenient thing to do? If it's really that convenient, wouldn't it be better not to buy her anything at all?

Furthermore, Lina never liked studying since she was a child, but she had exceptional artistic talent. Shouldn't parents teach her according to her aptitude and cultivate her interests and hobbies?

Didn't they find her one-on-one tutoring? They never expected anything in return for their efforts towards her. They always gave their biological daughter everything she had, but they never thought they would raise such an ungrateful child.

Mother Li's heart turned completely cold. With trembling hands, she pointed to the door and said in a choked voice, "Now, go back to your home immediately. We'll pretend we don't have a daughter like you. Get out of here."

Li Ning was instantly terrified. Her face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She didn't want to leave the Li family; she didn't want to live her old life anymore. That man would be released from prison soon, and she absolutely didn't want to go back.

She quickly stepped forward, grabbed her mother's arm, and cried, "Mom, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please don't send me away."

Mother Li forcefully shook off her hand, turned her face away, and refused to look at her again. Father Li glared at Li Ning and said, "Don't call us Mom and Dad. We're not your parents. We can't forgive you for what you've done. Get out!"

Li Chu also looked coldly at Li Ning and said, "You'd better watch yourself."

Cang Lan stared coldly at Li Ning without saying a word. For an ingrate like Li Ning, a swift and decisive action was necessary. It would be best for the Li family to kick her out immediately.

"Host, the original owner's parents were really wonderful! They were decisive and didn't make any excuses for Li Ning at all," Xiao Bai chimed in.

"If they make excuses for Li Ning, I'll kill them all tonight!" Cang Lan's voice was icy, and his eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

Cang Lan was very satisfied with the family's behavior. Then, just like the original owner of this body, she said softly, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I'm really fine. Don't worry. I can handle this myself. You should go and get some rest."

Father Li was still worried, his brows furrowed: "Nai Nai, are you really alright? Don't hide it from us."

Cang Lan shook her head firmly: "Don't worry, Dad, I'm really fine." Mother Li held Cang Lan's hand tightly, her eyes full of heartache: "Nai Nai, if you feel sad, tell Mom, don't bear it all by yourself." Cang Lan patted Mother Li's hand: "Mom, I know, you two go to sleep."

They were relieved to see that their daughter was really alright and went upstairs to rest. Cang Lan then understood why the original owner's first reaction after her death was not to seek revenge but to apologize to her parents. They truly loved her!

Seeing the family's happiness, Li Ning's face darkened horribly. She was unwilling! Why did Li Nai have everything from birth? And what about her? To this day, she was just a pitiful adopted child.

She glared fiercely at Cang Lan, but dared not make a move, because Li Chu was always by Cang Lan's side.
