Chapter 134 : Token
In the past, when big things happened, the old man would keep an eye on things. Now that the old man is gone, Xu Haicheng is becoming more and more outrageous.
One of the two sons is smart but has no interest in the family business, while the other is not smart and is easily influenced. They can’t find an heir to such a huge family business.
“If I hadn’t come, this family would have changed its surname to Zhou. Haicheng, it’s good that you are soft-hearted and think of the favor, but you also have to see clearly whether the person next to you now is your savior!”
These words were like thunder falling into a pond, causing a splash of water. Xu Haicheng looked puzzled, “Mom, what do you mean by that? It was Zhou Hui who saved my life. How could I not recognize my own lifesaver?”
Zhou Hui’s heart was pounding wildly. She had an ominous premonition from nowhere and almost fell down, holding her chest. Her pale face was noticed by Xu Haicheng.
“Zhou Hui, is what mom said true?”
Xu Haicheng began to have doubts. Over the years, he had mentioned the incident in the cowshed many times, but Zhou Hui always said that she couldn’t remember it clearly. Even the jade ring that he had given her in return for sending her meals was lost by Zhou Hui.
Once these doubts surfaced, they gradually became an indelible fog surrounding his heart.
“Zhou Hui, do you remember what the earrings I gave you looked like?”
Zhou Hui stammered, “It’s just an ordinary earring, I didn’t look closely. The movement was so vigorous at the time, I was afraid, so I left it in the back mountain. Old Xu, you have to believe me!”
Xu Haicheng’s heart was completely chilled. He had really been blind for so many years and had mistaken his lifesaver. “What I gave you was not earrings, but a jade ring.”
Zhou Hui fell into the chair, her whole body shaking. She had not expected that Xu Haicheng, who seemed to be innocent, could set a trap for her with his words.
“Taohua, come in.”
As Fang Peilan finished speaking, Zhou Taohua walked in from outside. When she saw Xu Haicheng, her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Xu Haicheng had never seen this person before. She looked about the same age as his mother, with gray hair, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and hands covered in frostbite.
Zhou Taohua gently placed a transparent jade ring on Xu Haicheng’s palm, then made a few “ahhh” sounds. She couldn’t speak, but Xu Haicheng somehow understood what she meant, “I’ll give it back to you.”
She wanted to return the jade ring to him.
“Why are you here?” Zhou Hui almost lost her voice, and it took her a long time to hear her own voice again.
“Why is this ring in your possession? Who are you? What is your relationship with Zhou Hui?”
Xu Haicheng asked several questions anxiously, but Zhou Taohua just looked at him with a pair of tearful eyes. Xu Haicheng then realized that she could not speak.
“Haicheng, that’s enough! You are interrogating a woman who has done you a favor like this. Aren’t you refusing to believe that you were foolishly deceived?”
“Mom! Tell me, she…”
“Shut up and let Zhou Hui speak!”
Seeing her sister being taken to Haicheng, Zhou Hui was filled with panic, and looked at Zhou Taohua with resentment in her eyes. Why, why did she come?
Shouldn’t those trivial things be buried with time?
Why did she come to destroy the good life she had worked so hard for?
Zhou Taohua recognized Zhou Hui, whom she hadn’t seen for many years. Her younger sister was dressed in luxurious clothes and seemed to be living a very good life in recent years.
She smiled warmly, walked towards Zhou Hui, and reached out to touch her face, but Zhou Hui immediately opened her hand and said, “Stop acting like a show here. I came to Haicheng to live a rich life in your place. You want to kill me now, don’t you?”
Zhou Taohua screamed twice and shook her head desperately.
How could she hate her own sister? When she heard that she followed Xu Haicheng back to the city, she felt sad and disappointed.
But she could understand that her younger sister had had a very hard time in the first half of her life, and it was right for people to want to live a better life.
The reason she came here was not for a rich life, but because she couldn’t stand staying in the countryside anymore. If she stayed there, she would die.
Moreover, Madam Xu promised to find a job for her, and she wanted to live in a different place.
“Well, now that the truth is out, Zhou Hui, there is no need for you to stay in the Xu family anymore.”
“Old Xu and I are husband and wife, we’re married, and no one can chase me away!” Zhou Hui was hysterical and held on to Xu Haicheng tightly.
“Old Xu, please say something. I am your wife. If you don’t want me, I will die here!”
Xu Haicheng looked at Zhou Hui. Years of luxury had made her much fatter. She was covered in jewels, and her hands had delicate skin. Compared to Zhou Taohua, who seemed so fragile she could be blown away by the wind, Zhou Hui had received so much.
“Zhou Hui, let’s get a divorce.”
He couldn’t accept a relationship based on deception. When he thought about how he had been deceived by the person next to him for so long, he felt resentment and anger. He didn’t know how to face her in the future.
The Xu family’s guards stepped forward to pull Zhou Hui away, and Zhou Hui struggled violently, “No, I won’t leave! Why are you trying to drive me away? Xu Haicheng, if I hadn’t saved you, you would have died long ago, you heartless bastard!”
Zhou Hui cursed profusely, punching and kicking the guards who came toward her. The guards, who had endured her daily insults, could no longer tolerate it and pushed her out without mercy.
“Wait!”
Jiang Li stopped the guards and instructed them to remove the jewelry from Zhou Hui. Fang Peilan didn’t care much about these things, but she couldn’t allow the person who had disgusted her to leave with any advantage.
Zhou Hui finally found an outlet for her anger. It was all Jiang Li’s fault. This wild girl showed up, and not only did she send Lingling to jail, but now she was about to be kicked out of the Xu family as well.
Zhou Hui glared at Jiang Li, who was caressing her belly, and with a vicious heart, she rushed toward Jiang Li’s stomach, shouting, “Bitch, you bitch! Die with your child!”
However, she didn’t expect Jiang Li to react so quickly. Not only did she dodge, but she also kicked Zhou Hui several meters away.
Zhou Hui fell and hit the steps. She didn’t know where she was injured but vomited blood several times.
Fang Peilan was furious. This woman was so vicious that she actually wanted to harm her granddaughter right in front of her. “Take off all her clothes. Don’t let her take anything from the Xu family!”
This time, the guards had difficulty acting, and it was the Xu family’s nanny who stepped forward to strip Zhou Hui of her clothes. When Zhou Hui was finally kicked out of the house, the only thing thrown out with her was the tattered bag she had brought to Haicheng.
Looking at Zhou Taohua standing there, lost and unsure, Xu Haicheng couldn’t figure out how to treat her for a moment. Too many things had happened today, and he needed time to sort things out.
