Chapter 674 -675: You Can’t Beat Me
Xi Jiaxin lit another cigarette, “This is all your fault. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this mess. I thought I was bringing home a Buddha, but instead I’ve brought home a star of ill fortune.”
“Xi Jiaxin, you must speak the truth. Over the years, I’ve helped you save face many times in the Xi family. If it wasn’t for me, what would you have achieved in your career by now?”
Xi Jiaxin’s embarrassment turned into anger, “Liu Ruyan, everyone in Beijing now knows that you’ve made me a cuckold. I am definitely getting divorced, otherwise, I, Xi Jiaxin, will become a laughing stock.”
“You can divorce if you want, but don’t even think about kicking me out penniless.”
“Liu Ruyan, despite all that talk, aren’t you just after my wealth?”
“Of course as it stands now, all we can say is that our fate has ended. I, Liu Ruyan, am not greedy. I won’t take a single bit of what belongs to you, Xi Jiaxin. But the two antique shops I opened in the past two years are my sweat and blood, give them to me, and I won’t ask for anything else.”
Xi Jiaxin scoffed, “This is not being greedy? Don’t think I don’t know those two antique shops are the most profitable in these two years. You want to swallow it all. Dream on.”
“Xi Jiaxin, I don’t want to fall out with you, but don’t forget we share a common enemy. That woman was Gu Qichen’s ex-wife. You can see Gu Qichen still has feelings for her, and now she is Gu Zhaohan’s fiancée. If she plays her cards right and uses the Gu and Xi family’s power against you, are you certain you can handle it by yourself? You’ll have to contemplate dealing with her. Moreover, Xi Jiaxin, remember, we are two grasshoppers on a rope. If that woman gets rid of me and I expose everything about the past, don’t forget, it was you who had Xu Wan sabotage Xia Liangdong’s car. If this is pursued, I’ll be at most accused of instigation, while you’ll be guilty of premeditated murder.”
“Liu Ruyan, you malicious woman.”
Liu Ruyan was stroking her elegantly long fingernails, “Jia Xin, shouldn’t you leave me something to rely on, so I can fight with that girl?”
Xia Yangyang didn’t expect that in the end, Liu Ruyan and Xi Jiaxin would get a peaceful divorce.
And Xi family’s two antique shops would be given to Liu Ruyan.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know, during Liu Ruyan and Xi Jiaxin’s time together, what they had discussed.
However, Liu Ruyan did have the ability to win these two gold mines for herself.
Xia Yangyang originally thought that, with Xi Jiaxin’s anger, he would at least make Liu Ruyan and her daughter completely penniless.
But she had underestimated Liu Ruyan.
The matter with the Xi family is finally settled.
Xia Yangyang was still feeling aggrieved.
When Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan left,
Liu Ruyan had a face full of smiles, “Yangyang, come to my antique shop when you’re free tomorrow. If you like anything, Aunt Liu will give it to you.”
Xia Yangyang also forced a smile, “Aunt Liu is generous, thank you in advance, I will definitely come over tomorrow.”
Liu Ruyan suddenly grabbed Xia Yangyang’s arm, leaned into Xia Yangyang’s ear, and said, “Yangyang, you can’t compete with me.”
After saying that, Liu Ruyan let go of Xia Yangyang, took a step back, and said, “Be careful on your way.”
Xia Yangyang’s fingers tensed.
Why hasn’t this wicked woman received her retribution yet?
By now, she must have known everything.
Although she hadn’t hit the mark this time, she had startled the snake.
It would be difficult to find her weaknesses in the future.
Gu Zhaohan indeed held Xia Yangyang’s clenched fist, enclosing her hand in his, “I will accompany Yangyang tomorrow.”
