1328 A Million Bucks To Shut Up
Xia Cheng walked forward and glared at him. “Xu Zhi, you and Lan’er are already divorced. You have no right to interfere in our Xia family’s matters. Xi Xi is your and Lan’er’s child. This is the truth.
“Moreover, when Lan’er gave birth back then, the hospital recorded it very clearly. She did give birth to a girl. Now that you’re slandering Lan’er’s innocence in public, what are your intentions?”
Xia Cheng spoke righteously, and everyone could not help but look at Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I’m not slandering her. Xia Lan does have a daughter, but she’s not our child. Chairman Xia, are you still acting in front of me now?”
Xia Cheng’s old face instantly stiffened as if he had thought of something. Everyone also sensed that something was wrong.
[Xu Zhi said that he and Xia Lan don’t have children, but he said that Xia Lan has a daughter. In that case, Xia Lan must have cheated and given birth to a daughter with someone else, right?]
[I have to say that Xu Zhi is considered loyal. For the sake of Xia Lan’s reputation, he endured it for so many years without saying anything. If Xia Lan hadn’t insisted on courting death and forcing Miss Qiao to marry Young Master Tan, Xu Zhi probably wouldn’t have revealed Xia Lan’s affair in public.]
“Ah!!! That’s not true! You’re just a piece of trash who relied on the Xia family to rise to power. What right do you have—”
Xu Zhi’s eyes were filled with disappointment as he interrupted her, “We’ve been married for more than 20 years. I’ve already done my best for you. I originally wanted to bring this secret to the grave and didn’t want it to affect your reputation. Now that you’re the one who wants to ruin yourself, I’ll show everyone something interesting.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhi took out a document. It contained Xia Lan’s records for the past 20 years. There were intimate photos of her with other men, her chat history, and so on.
Xu Zhi’s voice was trembling. “Look carefully. Isn’t this you? You dare to do it but don’t dare to own up to it, huh?”
Qiao Xi bent down and picked up the documents scattered on the floor. The reporter behind her immediately leaned forward and aimed his camera at the documents.
The information Xu Zhi provided was very detailed. The time, location, and names were all very precise. There were also traces. When Xia Lan was pregnant, he had always been overseas discussing business. It was enough to prove that Xia Lan had an affair.
The Xia family did not stop Qiao Xi from getting the information. Actually, they all knew about Xia Lan’s affair, so they were not surprised.
Xia Cheng’s expression did not change as he said indifferently, “That’s all in the past. Why are you still talking about it? So what if Qiao Xi isn’t Lan’er’s biological daughter? Xu Zhi, this is the Xia family. Do you think you can interfere in the Xia family’s family matters? I don’t care whose daughter she is. She has to marry Young Master Tan today!”
Xu Zhi sneered. “Chairman Xia, you already knew that Xi Xi isn’t a child of the Xia family?”
Xia Lan recovered from her shock and looked at Xia Cheng in disbelief. “Father, this…”
“Lan’er, Qiao Xi is indeed not your daughter,” Xia Cheng said indifferently. “Since Xu Zhi has already said it, then there’s no need to hide it.”
Xia Lan’s entire body went soft, and her heart was extremely complicated. At first, she was shocked and angry, but then she was actually delighted. It turned out that Qiao Xi, whose temperament and appearance were very similar to Xia Yunqiu, was not her daughter! Exactly! How could she have given birth to a little b*tch?!
This was really good news!
Xia Lan instantly felt much better. A smile appeared on her face, but…
The next second, Xia Ji was unhappy. “Dad, how can you spout nonsense? If Qiao Xi isn’t Lan’er’s daughter, then how can she marry into the Brook family…”
Madam Tan suddenly looked up with a cold smile.
Xia Cheng smiled coldly. “The Brook family wants Qiao Xi. What does it matter if she’s Lan’er’s daughter or not? Since she’s in my Xia family’s territory, I have the final say.”
“The betrothal gifts have been accepted, and Madam Tan and Young Master Tan have also rushed over from afar. Do you think Xu Zhi can snatch someone from us?”
The atmosphere instantly darkened. Xu Zhi was stunned by Xia Cheng’s shameless words.
“You… You already know that Qiao Xi isn’t Xia Lan’s daughter, yet you actually… You actually want to force her to get married. You…”
“Xu Zhi, I told you a long time ago that you have to turn a blind eye sometimes. Don’t be so serious. If I give you the two billion, will you disagree?” Xia Cheng smiled proudly. “As long as you promise me to leave immediately and not spout nonsense, I can give you a million yuan to keep your mouth shut. What do you think?”
A million yuan hush money? How could he say that?
