"Xu Xuezi, don’t feed me nonsense. You’re right, I am just a country girl who believes in an eye for an eye. You killed Yecheng, and I must take my revenge. The choice is yours, either you face the consequences yourself, or I make you face them."
Xiaofeng felt a chill in her head and was finally scared, "Are you going to kill me?"
"What else did you think I came here for, to chat about life?" Xiaofeng sneered.
"Su Xiaofeng, I truly regret, how you didn’t die in that fire back then. Last time it was Yecheng who showed up, so you were saved. This time it’s the same, but this time Yecheng wasn’t so lucky, he died. I always said, having you by his side would eventually kill him, haha."
Listening to her, Xiaofeng was like Asura, her tone dark, "The fire during my delivery, that was your doing."
"It was me, and what can you do about it?" Xu Xuezi looked at her, "Back then, you were just a country girl, dead would have been dead, who would care, and who could trace it back to me? I just didn’t expect you had such good luck, waiting for Yecheng, not only surviving but also giving birth to twins."
"So, you also killed Liu An?"
"I don’t know who Liu An is, but if he was supposed to work for me, of course I wouldn’t let him live." Xu Xuezi was like a madwoman, whatever Xiaofeng asked, she answered.
Mr. Xu stood nearby, his face ashen as he listened to Xu Xuezi’s words.
"If you’re so capable, kill me already, I want to see if you dare, come on, come at me. Even if I die, it’s good, I will be with Yecheng as a pair on the ground. I need to let him know, he made the wrong choice by marrying me, and in death, he must marry me too." Xu Xuezi looked at Xiaofeng, she, Xu Xiaofeng, if brave, would shoot her right now.
Xiaofeng looked at her as if she was looking at a dead person.
Xu Xuezi’s heart tightened.
"Hold on." Mr. Xu stepped forward, "Xiaofeng, murder requires atonement, and I will not be merciful, I will certainly enforce justice over kin. She has made a mistake, let the law punish her, it’s not your place to personally teach her a lesson. Young Madam, you need to understand, if you kill her, you too will have to bear the responsibility, are you sure you want to do this?"
"So, what are you suggesting, Mr. Xu?"
"With this happening, our Xu family is disgraced," Mr. Xu’s face was full of sorrow, "Starting today, she has no relation with the Xu family anymore, no longer my granddaughter, nor the Young Lady of the Xu family. She committed a crime and naturally, the law will handle her, Men Chao, take her to the police station, let them do as they should," Mr. Xu slitted his eyes, weighing his options before speaking.
"Grandfather." Xu Xuezi, shocked by her grandfather’s ruthless words, exclaimed, "How can you be so heartless, I am your granddaughter, your own blood."
"No, from now on, you are no longer one of us, your actions have nothing to do with the Xu family. As for how the law judges, it will depend on your crimes, Xuexue, your jealousy has destroyed you, it has nothing to do with anyone else." Mr. Xu could not have imagined Xuexue would be so impulsive to do such a destructive act.
"Mr. Xu, do you think simply disowning her absolves your family of responsibility?" Xiaofeng sneered, "Yecheng’s incident happened, I want not just Xu Xuezi to pay the price, your whole Xu family must bear the consequences."
"You brat, still trying to deal with me." Mr. Xu scoffed, "Besides, this incident is entirely Xuexue’s own doing, it has nothing to do with our Xu family."
"Xu Xuezi is your granddaughter, Men Chao is her man. As her husband, he can’t possibly be unaware of her actions, and being your right-hand man, if he knew, he would surely have discussed it with you. Whether you knew or pretended not to know, only God knows. The Xu family has always been scheming for something to happen to Yecheng, not wanting him to succeed as the heir. Now that something has happened to Yecheng, it must be as you wished, you all must be very pleased."
Men Chao stared straight at her.
All this time, he had underestimated this woman.
This woman was really smart.
Even now, with Gu Yecheng gone, she was still scheming for the Gu family.
Yes, he himself was Gu Yecheng’s biggest competitor, while Mr. Xu was just a pawn in his hand.
But how did she figure it out? He asked himself, he hadn’t given away anything in front of her.
