âActually, there are several people in our generation! Other than me, the person everyone is most familiar with should be my cousin, Louis!â Xiao Liâs gaze fell on a table in the front row. Sitting there was a young man with a proud expression.
Xiao Li raised his glass to the man and smiled sweetly. âMy dear Louis, thank you very much for attending this wedding.â
Louisâs face was dark. No one could read his true thoughts on his face.
âWell, actually, other than Louis, Julia, and me, there are still a few outstanding young people in our family!â Xiao Li gave a charming smile. His red lips were delicately drawn, and his lips curved up slightly, giving off a cunning aura.
She slyly clapped hands and said, âTo celebrate Julia and Bruceâs wedding, my brothers and sisters are all here today. Let us welcome them on stage with warm applause!â
Hearing this, Louisâs expression finally changed. It was a little ugly.
The siblings of the Lawson family had not been sitting below the stage until Xiao Li finished her introduction. Only then did the door open. Six people walked in. Among the six of them, four were men and two were women. These six people did not look very handsome. They were all wearing custom-made formal wear.
Among the six of them, one of them was very ugly. It could be said that she was deformed. There was a crack on her lips. The flesh that should have grown on her lips had grown out of her nose. Seeing this girl, everyone was shocked.
This was clearly a deformed child who had stunted growth in her motherâs womb!
Standing next to the deformed girl were three other people who didnât look very smart. One of them was a girl, and the other two were boys. The three of them looked no different from ordinary people, but they always liked to smile. When they smiled, they looked a little silly.
Fang Yusheng stared at the children, feeling especially uncomfortable.
Qiao Jiusheng suddenly grabbed Fang Zikai and Fang Zichengâs hands. Ji Yinbing frowned and turned to say to Yan Nuo, âAmong the six children, one is deformed, and three have dementia. Whatâs going on?â
Clearly, Ji Yinbing wasnât the only one who had realized this. The others who had discovered this couldnât help but discuss softlyâ
......
âWhatâs going on? Why are the siblings of the Lawson family so different?â
âOf the six children, three have dementia and one is deformed. Whatâs going on?â
âIâve heard of Miss Julia and two other people in the past. Look at the man and woman walking on the far left. The man is called Jerry and he has been working in Asia. The womanâs name is Carrie. She works in South America. Iâve heard of these two people. Itâs said that their abilities are average and theyâre not valued highly. Thatâs why they were sent overseas to work. I didnât expect them to return this time as well.â
âJerry, Carrie, Julia, Chris, and Louis. I know these five people. I thought that in the entire Lawson family, there would only be the five of them. I didnât expect there to be four more childrenâ¦â
Everyone stared at the backs of the four members of the Lawson family, who were clearly unwell. Their gazes became gossipy.
At the head table, Louis looked worse than a black pot.
âCome, Jerry. Please introduce yourselves to your brothers, sisters, and sisters.â
Xiao Li handed the microphone to Jerry.
Jerry nodded. He picked up the microphone and glanced coldly at the audience. In a cold voice, he said, âIâm Jerry Lawson, the cousin of the bride, Julia.â He handed the microphone to the woman beside him. The woman said, âIâm Carrie, the sister of the bride, Julia.â
Then, the deformed girl spoke. âIâm Leah. Iâm Juliaâs younger sister. Iâm 23 years old. As you can see, Iâm a deformed child. I was born this way.â Despite her ugly appearance, Leah appeared magnanimous.
Then, the microphone moved to the little girlâs hand.
The little girl was a little nervous. She stammered, âI-Iâm Olivia, Juliaâs younger sister. Iâm twelve years old this year. I like chocolate, red dresses, and Barbie dolls. I donât like spinach and celeryâ¦â This twelve-year-old girl was like a kindergarten child. When she introduced herself, it was as if she was reciting a book. The introduction was very long-winded.
This was a typical mentally retarded child.
Of the two little boys behind him, one was 21 years old, but he had an IQ of an 8 year old. When he made his introductions, he even began to cry on stage because he was too nervous. The last boy to make the introductions was called James He was 9 years old, and his IQ was that of a four-year-old child. After he made the introductions, he began to fidget and kept clamoring to get off the stage.
Jerry and Carrie could only comfort him gently and coax him.
The people below the stage looked at the children of the Lawson family with complicated expressions, each with their own thoughts.
After they were done introducing themselves, Xiao Li walked over to Olivia. Like a gentle older sister, she asked Olivia softly, âOlivia, tell Sister. Are you happy?â
Olivia thought for a moment, then shook her head and nodded.
When Xiao Li asked her why she was unhappy, Olivia seemed to recall some unhappy memories. Her face was filled with sadness. âDaddy and Mommy didnât allow me to go out to play. They always locked me in the house. Sometimes, when guests came, they didnât allow me to go out to meet them either. They said that I was mentally retarded and that I couldnât let others discover me.â
âOh my god!â Someone below the stage began to exclaim. âThis is abuse! This is imprisoning a child!â The person who spoke was the president of the Child Protection Association invited by Xiao Li.
Below the stage, Yan Nuo and the others watched this scene. They finally understood why Xiao Li had invited celebrities from all walks of life.
Only then would the shocking scandals of the Lawson family be exposed to everyone.
Xiao Li asked Olivia, âThen why are you happy?â
Olivia smiled happily. She said, âThis is the first time Iâve attended such an event. There are so many people, and this is the first time Iâve seen so many people. In the past, my parents never allowed me to go out to play. They only let me be friends with Barbieâ¦â
Xiao Li patted Oliviaâs head and walked over to Leah.
Leah was about the same height as Xiao Li and had a great figure, but because of her ugly face, she looked a little scary.
Xiao Li asked Leah, âLeah, are you happy?â
Leah shook her head. Before Xiao Li could ask, she took the initiative to speak. âJust like Olivia, Iâve been unhappy all my life. Even though I can go to school and make friends, Iâve always used a fake identity. In order to prevent others from discovering that Iâm a child of the Lawson family, my parents created a fake identity for me. None of my friends know my true identity. In their eyes, Iâm just Leah Bennett, a deformed child whose parents died when she was youngâ¦â
