Chapter 466: Chapter 467: You Climb Your High Branch
Upon mentioning this, Xia Weiwei was taken aback: “Mom, do you love dad?”
Xia Weiwei found it hard to accept that Liu Ruyan was with another man while their dad was hospitalised…
However, Liu Ruyan just erupted into laughter.
As if she had just heard a hilariously funny joke.
“Love, love is the cheapest thing in this world. You become vulnerable when you fall for someone. Your dad has never truly loved me over the years; Tan Zhen that wench has always been the one in his heart. Weiwei, remember my words, a man will forever be smitten by the one who doesn’t love him.”
Before Xia Weiwei could utter a word…
The room door was flung open all of a sudden.
Xia Yangyang appeared abruptly at the door.
Liu Ruyan and Xia Weiwei were both taken aback.
Nevertheless, Xia Yangyang had already stepped in: “The biggest mistake my dad ever made in his life is probably marrying a woman like you. However, luckily, being able to divorce you while he is still alive is also his good fortune.”
A trace of a smile spread across her face.
Liu Ruyan said: “Yangyang, you’re back. Don’t worry, I’m packing up. I will leave in a day or two. Everything in the Xia Family’s house, from top to bottom, will all be yours.”
Xia Yangyang let out a cold humph: “Aunt Liu should know that my return today is not because of this.”
Liu Ruyan deliberately gasped in surprise.
Then went on to say: “Is there something else?”
Xia Yangyang had no patience for her prevarications: “Did you expose Gu Mingzhu? You framed me, didn’t you?”
Liu Ruyan responded: “Yangyang, I have no idea what you’re talking about. How could I do such a thing? How much could I possibly know about the Gu Family’s matters?”
Xia Yangyang frowned.
Liu Ruyan had clearly told her the secret herself a day ago.
Nevertheless, today, after the matter was exposed, she suddenly started denying everything.
Xia Yangyang chuckled: “Aunt Liu, there’s really no need for you to be overly cautious. Rest assured, this is your room, there are no cameras, and I didn’t bring a voice recorder either.”
All Liu Ruyan feared was admitting her guilt, putting herself in a vulnerable position with Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang admired her for her cautious prudence.
Liu Ruyan closely observed Xia Yangyang.
Even though Xia Yangyang has disfavored her since childhood and is highly guarded against her…
Liu Ruyan still has an understanding of Xia Yangyang.
Her expressions, and her tone of voice.
Liu Ruyan could tell that she’s here not to engage in petty schemes, she had likely just come to confirm something.
Liu Ruyan chose not to hide anymore.
“Yes, I did arrange for the news to be revealed. The figure in the news does look a lot like you, deliberately captured in the frame, hence now everyone thinks you were the one to expose the scandal of the Gu Family.”
The brilliance of Liu Ruyan lies in the fact that…
All that was exposed had clear evidence backing it.
Of course, with the shocking secret of the Gu family exposed, no one is pursuing whether the person is truly her.
Instead, the masses are more inclined to believe that it’s an internal feud amongst the elites, complex and entangled, adding to the excitement of the ongoing saga.
“Why did you do this?”
“To be honest, Yangyang, you gave me such a big gift, how could I not reciprocate a little? I know, you have a kind heart and a soft nature, but think about it, Gu Mingzhu is the biological mother of Gu Qichen, yet she caused the death of your mother, could you really forgive her? I did what you couldn’t bring yourself to do, shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
Xia Yangyang coldly laughed: “Aunt Liu, stay out of my business. Just because you framed me, doesn’t mean I’ll swallow this affront. Now that you’re divorced from my dad, we have no connection whatsoever. From now on, you climb your tall branches, I’ll cross my single-plank bridge, we owe each other nothing and will be entangled no more. I only hope we avoid any future contact, and I hope Aunt Liu won’t cause me any more trouble.”
Liu Ruyan laughed: “Of course, given the current situation, I’m not pleased either. I have spent so many years with your dad, after all, and do have some feelings for him. If you father-daughter ever run into any trouble, feel free to ask me for help, I will do my best.”
“Well, I should really thank Aunt Liu.”
