Chapter 672: Chapter 673: Spare No One
Xi Zijun was enraged.
She stood up abruptly: “Xi Yankai, I dare you to repeat what you just said.”
“I’ll say it, and I’m not afraid of you, don’t think I’m unaware. The man by your side jilted his fiancée on the day of their engagement, he even has a child with another woman. Despite all this, you’re still clinging onto him. What does your career success count for? On emotional and family fronts, you are a complete loser!”
“Xi Yankai, brave words. But no matter how much of a failure I am, I’m still your boss. Don’t let me ever catch you slipping up at work,”
Saying this, Xi Zijun stormed off in a huff.
Gu Qichen followed her out.
Xi Yanbo sighed, “Was it too much to ask to have a peaceful meal? All the arguing is giving me a headache, I’ve lost my appetite,”
With those words, Xi Yanbo left as well.
Unable to contain his anger, Xi Yankai threw down his chopsticks and stormed out of the dining room.
Xia Weiwei hadn’t come to finish dinner in the first place.
So suddenly, the large dining room was left with just Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan.
Xia Yangyang seemed rather nonchalant.
She ladled a spoonful of soup for herself: “This soup contains the finest cordyceps, it’d be a shame to waste it. Gu Zhaohan, you should have some too.”
Gu Zhaohan remained silent.
When Xia Yangyang looked up, she noticed Gu Zhaohan was staring intently at her face.
Xia Yangyang blinked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Gu Zhaohan asked, “Did you have anything to do with that incident?”
“What has to do with me?”
“You know exactly what I’m talking about — the matter of Liu Ruyan and my uncle.”
Only after finishing her bowl of soup did Xia Yangyang respond in a calm and collected manner, “Why suspect me?”
“If it weren’t you, you wouldn’t have specifically asked me to come back and watch this spectacle. Xia Yangyang, tell me, have you found out something new about what happened years ago? Did Liu Ruyan harm your mother back then?”
Xia Yangyang’s expression finally changed, “Correct, although I haven’t fully investigated, Liu Ruyan is certainly involved. Moreover, back then, my father was also manipulated into having a car accident by her.”
Talking about this, Xia Yangyang’s fingers unconsciously tightened.
Gu Zhaohan was shocked, “You’re saying that your father’s accident wasn’t accidental, but premeditated?”
Gu Zhaohan continued, “This is murder, was it Liu Ruyan?”
Xia Yangyang turned to look at Gu Zhaohan, “It was Liu Ruyan and Xi Jiaxin. I won’t let either of them off the hook.”
Gu Zhaohan was even more horrified.
He hadn’t expected Xi Jiaxin to be an accomplice.
Gu Zhaohan asked, “So you’re planning to go after my uncle as well? He said someone’s trying to kill her, are you behind that?”
Xia Yangyang lowered her gaze, “Gu Zhaohan, all I can tell you is that, the rest is none of your concern.”
“I can’t just stand idly by.”
Xia Yangyang sneered, “What, are you afraid I’ll harm your uncle?”
“No, I’m afraid you’ll do anything for revenge and end up getting hurt. My uncle isn’t someone to be underestimated.”
To Xia Yangyang’s surprise, Gu Zhaohan was worried about her safety.
Xia Yangyang said, “I know my limits. I won’t act recklessly. They committed heinous acts, I will make sure they face legal justice.”
Gu Zhaohan still looked worried.
Although Xia Yangyang seemed confident,
Gu Zhaohan knew that considerable danger lay ahead.
Neither Xi Jiaxin nor Liu Ruyan was to be trifled with.
And if Xi Jiaxin were truly involved, Xi Zijun wouldn’t just stand by either.
