Chapter 104: Slap Your Own Face
“Grandfather, does Xiao Ge really have a marriage contract with Ling Hanmu?”
“That’s right, I did arrange a marriage between Xiao Ge and Ling Hanmu with Old Master Ling, but Old Master Ling has been dead for many years, and the Ling family probably doesn’t know about this matter.”
“But Grandfather, even if there is a marriage contract, will the Ling family acknowledge it? Will it be disadvantageous to Xiao Ge?”
……
“The Xia family is not what it used to be. The Ling family will definitely break off the engagement. Rather than letting Xiao Ge suffer repeated harm, it’s better to change the story and say that you arranged the engagement for Jingyun and Ling Hanmu back then.”
“Grandfather, I don’t want a marriage contract with Ling Hanmu. You can’t push me into hell just to make Xiao Ge’s life easier.”
“Grandfather, my mother’s worries are not without reason. If Xiao Ge is retaliated against by the Ling family, I’m afraid I’ll suffer along with her. Grandfather, I’m selfishly hoping that Xiao Ge doesn’t affect my future.”
……
“Grandmother, what if Xiao Ge is cruelly harmed because of this? I kindly want to help you, but you’re being hesitant, as if I’m trying to scheme something!”
……
This video shows Xia Minglan and her daughter going to the Xia family yesterday, coercing and enticing Old Master Xia to change his story and admit that the marriage contract was for Xu Jingyun.
All the guests were stunned, unable to believe that this mother and daughter could be so shameless, openly bullying an elderly person confined to bed, using misinformation and working together to intimidate him.
Recalling the recent negative news about Xia Chenge, everyone understood what was really going on.
Old Madam Ling was trembling with anger, and the complexions of other Ling family members were extremely grim. Someone dared to scheme against the Ling family.
Xia Minglan and Xu Jingyun were both struck by lightning, chilled to the bone. They never expected that Xia Chenge would have recorded this video!
Thinking of the consequences when the Ling family learned the truth, the mother and daughter were overwhelmed by fear, their bodies growing cold.
Xia Chenge said with a sad expression: “I have made concessions without limits, hoping you will stop at the right time and not make Grandfather and Grandmother sad. I didn’t want to release this video, but you were too excessive, pushing me to death before you would be satisfied.”
“I once thought that you would consider my father’s sake, and even if you didn’t treat me as family, you could at least coexist peacefully like strangers. But I was too naive. Some things you can take, but why must you go too far?”
“I am truly disappointed and very sad…”
As Xia Chenge spoke, she began to sob and wipe her tears, displaying her sadness and disappointment to the fullest.
Seeing this, Ling Hanmu immediately felt heartache. He fumbled for tissues and gently comforted her, “Xiao Ge, don’t cry. You’ve already reached the limit of your tolerance. From now on, you won’t be blamed for such things again.”
“The Xu family is too much! Bullying a girl who has no parents, and this child is their own niece!”
“People’s hearts are too terrifying. Xia Chenge has suffered a lot over the years.”
“We were all deceived by malicious people. Xia Chenge is too kind, only standing up to clarify when pushed to this extent.”
“If it weren’t for this video, she would have been unable to defend herself. We should stay away from the Xu family in the future; who knows when we’ll be schemed against.”
……
The guests present all accused the Xu family of being sinister.
Xu Jingyi’s family of three felt as if they were naked in front of everyone, exposed and scrutinized, wishing they could dig a hole and bury themselves to escape the uncomfortable gazes.
Xu Jingyi clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Xia Minglan.
At this moment, he chose self-preservation by shifting blame.
“Xia Minglan, you’ve gone too far! You kept saying that this marriage contract was arranged by Dad for Jingyun, and I never expected you to use such means to deceive! I was truly blind to think you were gentle and virtuous, only to find out you are such a ruthless person, even scheming against your own niece.”
“You two, kneel down and apologize to Xiao Ge! You’ve disgraced the Xu family completely, how will you ever have the face to stand in Haicheng?”
Xu Jingyi acted extremely angry, as if he had truly been deceived.
Xia Minglan and her daughter were stunned. They had been counting on Xu Jingyi to find a way to turn the situation around, but instead, they were met with his furious scolding.
For a moment, both of them were dumbfounded.
Xia Chenge looked at him with cold eyes, a mocking smile flashing across her face before quickly returning to normal.
“Xiao Ge, I’m sorry for this matter. I don’t expect your forgiveness, but no matter what you do to me, as long as you can vent your anger, you can do as you please, and I will have no complaints. This is what our Xu family owes you!” Xu Jingyi looked at Xia Chenge and righteously declared his stance.
“I listened to Xia Minglan from beginning to end about this matter. At first, I was happy for Jingyun, but I didn’t expect the truth to be like this. I really…”
As he spoke, Xu Jingyi covered his face and sighed deeply.
Ling Hanmu sneered, “Is that so? When you insisted just now that your daughter was my fiancée, your expression was quite unpleasant! Do you want to review it?”
Xu Jingyi choked, his face turning very ugly.
“Young Master Ling, I know I was too agitated just now. After all, as a parent, one always wants their daughter to have a better life…”
“Don’t be ridiculous. The Ling family would harm your beautiful, unparalleled daughter! Are you truly Xu Jingyun’s biological father? Why aren’t you worried about her suffering a terrible fate and bidding farewell to this lovely human world?” Ling Hanmu interrupted him mockingly.
“You insist on causing such trouble at my birthday banquet. This happy occasion was ruined by your shamelessness. If I don’t settle this score with you properly, I’ll truly be letting down the comments your wife and daughter made about the Ling family.”
“Throw this family of three out of the Ling family immediately. Never allow any business dealings again,” Old Madam Ling said furiously. “If the Xu family wants to be enemies with my Ling family, I, this old woman, will say it now: anyone who cooperates with the Xu family from now on, don’t blame my Ling family for falling out.”
“I will let you know that not just anyone can scheme against the Ling family, and this is the consequence!”
Xu Jingyi’s eyes widened, his face draining of color.
In Country A, who would dare to oppose the Ling family?
Old Madam Ling’s words were tantamount to ruining his efforts of the past decade and sentencing his future life!
“Old Madam, this matter has nothing to do with the Xu family. It’s all due to the greed of that mother and daughter. Old Madam, you must be reasonable; I am innocent.” Xu Jingyi revealed his ugly true colors, completely distancing himself from the situation. “I admit I didn’t discipline them properly, but I will strive to correct it. Old Madam, please give me a chance.”
Old Madam Ling didn’t even look at him, merely ordering the bodyguards sternly, “Throw these three people out, they’re an eyesore!”
“Xia Chenge, you slut, you deliberately framed me! May you be childless and die a horrible death!” Xu Jingyun finally snapped back to her senses, no longer able to maintain her composure, and began to curse.
“Slap her!” Old Madam Ling commanded coldly. “Teach her some manners!”
