Chapter 833: The Show Begins
“Actually, there are several people in our generation! Other than me, the person everyone is most familiar with should be my cousin, Louis!” Xiao Li’s 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. “My dear Louis, thank you very much for attending this wedding.”
Louis’s face was dark. No one could read his true thoughts on his face.
“Well, actually, other than Louis, Julia, and me, there are still a few outstanding young people in our family!” 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, “To celebrate Julia and Bruce’s wedding, my brothers and sisters are all here today. Let us welcome them on stage with warm applause!”
Hearing this, Louis’s 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 mother’s womb!
Standing next to the deformed girl were three other people who didn’t 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 Zicheng’s hands. Ji Yinbing frowned and turned to say to Yan Nuo, “Among the six children, one is deformed, and three have dementia. What’s going on?”
Clearly, Ji Yinbing wasn’t the only one who had realized this. The others who had discovered this couldn’t help but discuss softly—
......
“What’s going on? Why are the siblings of the Lawson family so different?”
“Of the six children, three have dementia and one is deformed. What’s going on?”
“I’ve 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 woman’s name is Carrie. She works in South America. I’ve heard of these two people. It’s said that their abilities are average and they’re not valued highly. That’s why they were sent overseas to work. I didn’t expect them to return this time as well.”
“Jerry, 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 didn’t expect there to be four more children…”
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.
“Come, Jerry. Please introduce yourselves to your brothers, sisters, and sisters.”
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, “I’m Jerry Lawson, the cousin of the bride, Julia.” He handed the microphone to the woman beside him. The woman said, “I’m Carrie, the sister of the bride, Julia.”
Then, the deformed girl spoke. “I’m Leah. I’m Julia’s younger sister. I’m 23 years old. As you can see, I’m a deformed child. I was born this way.” Despite her ugly appearance, Leah appeared magnanimous.
Then, the microphone moved to the little girl’s hand.
The little girl was a little nervous. She stammered, “I-I’m Olivia, Julia’s younger sister. I’m twelve years old this year. I like chocolate, red dresses, and Barbie dolls. I don’t like spinach and celery…” 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, “Olivia, tell Sister. Are you happy?”
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. “Daddy and Mommy didn’t allow me to go out to play. They always locked me in the house. Sometimes, when guests came, they didn’t allow me to go out to meet them either. They said that I was mentally retarded and that I couldn’t let others discover me.”
“Oh my god!” Someone below the stage began to exclaim. “This is abuse! This is imprisoning a child!” 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, “Then why are you happy?”
Olivia smiled happily. She said, “This is the first time I’ve attended such an event. There are so many people, and this is the first time I’ve seen so many people. In the past, my parents never allowed me to go out to play. They only let me be friends with Barbie…”
Xiao Li patted Olivia’s 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, “Leah, are you happy?”
Leah shook her head. Before Xiao Li could ask, she took the initiative to speak. “Just like Olivia, I’ve been unhappy all my life. Even though I can go to school and make friends, I’ve always used a fake identity. In order to prevent others from discovering that I’m 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, I’m just Leah Bennett, a deformed child whose parents died when she was young…”
