Chapter 157: Why?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xing Shu swirled the wine glass in her hand leisurely and looked at everyone present. “The Xing family made a mistake, but they want to push the blame on me and make me bear everything? Why?”
Why did Xing Shu’s words hit everyone’s hearts so hard?
That’s right. Back then, Xing Shu was only 10 years old. Was she really so scheming that she could hide it from everyone? No matter what, Xing Guotai was an adult. He had been in the corporate world for so long. Could he be fooled by a child? That was too ridiculous.
Everyone’s gaze changed from firm to suspicious, and there were more whispers. They looked at Xing Guotai and realized that his countenance was grim. His lips were pursed tightly, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. On the podium, Wu Minxia also clenched her palms tightly, her face pale. This was the first time she felt Xing Shu’s ferocity. Although Xing Shu was not likable in the past, she was obedient most of the time.
Wu Minxia was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She could barely control her emotions. Fortunately, Xing Linlin squeezed Wu Minxia’s hand. She came back to her senses and said, “Xing Shu, I wasn’t targeting you just now. I’ve already asked the director of the welfare home—someone was behind all this. We’re all victims. You’ve been my daughter for so many years. My heart aches for you and even more for Linlin. She’s clearly my biological daughter, but she called me Aunt for so many years.” She deliberately pretended to take a step back and instantly turned the situation around. Her words made everyone feel that Xing Shu was paranoid and took her general comments as a personal attack. After all, she did not specifically say that Xing Shu was behind this. Everyone looked at Xing Linlin tenderly as they recalled that Xing Shu was dressed to the nines tonight. Was she deliberately trying to embarrass Xing Linlin?She wanted to cause trouble during family reunions. She really had evil intentions.
Those who were jealous of Xing Shu’s looks seemed to have found a way to attack her. “I heard that Xing Shu has been bullying Xing Linlin in the Xing family for so many years.”
“Tonight is probably the last time I’ll see this disgusting woman. With her status, she probably doesn’t have the right to appear at any events again.”
“Wasn’t there a photo of her and Jin MO being ambiguous previously? Jin MO hasn’t come forward to explain. He’s probably afraid of being pestered by Xing Shu. After all, a woman like Xing Shu will cling on as long as she’s given a chance.”
When Xing Linlin heard the murmurs, the corners of her lips curled up. This was her goal tonight. She wanted to use this banquet to completely ruin Xing Shu and make her never be able to make a comeback!
As the murmurs gradually disappeared, Xing Linlin stood up and pretended to be kind. “Xing Shu, don’t misunderstand Mom. Mom and I have discussed it.
Even if I have officially claimed my family, the Xing family is still your family. You’re still the good daughter of the Xing family. Mom won’t abandon you. Dad also said that he will find a good marriage for you and let you have a grand wedding.” Her eyes gleamed with sincerity.
Everyone present felt that the Xing family was too kind. Xing Shu was so brusque just now, but the Xing family still wanted to acknowledge her and even help her find a good marriage. At the very least—if it were they—they would not be so considerate of someone who had usurped their daughter’s position for so many years.
Everyone discussed animatedly and praised the Xing family to the sky.
Xing Linlin did not forget to check Cheng Lang’s reaction. Even if Cheng Lang valued Xing Shu’s competence, would he still put her in an important position after knowing Xing Shu’s character?Xing Linlin sneered. She was secretly smug as she waved at Xing Shu. “Xing Shu, come up.”
Just as everyone thought that Xing Shu would not oblige, she suddenly put down her wine glass and slowly made her way over. This time, even Xing Linlin was stunned. She did not know what Xing Shu wanted to do. But in an instant, she began to get excited. It was good that she came up. It would embarrass
Xing Shu even more. She wanted to let these people take a good look at Xing Shu’s sorry a*s!
Wu Minxia quickly composed herself. When she saw Xing Shu walking over, her eyes turned red. She wanted to put on a loving mother act, but Xing Shu did not want to act with her. She took the microphone and faced everyone. “I don’t dare to forget the kindness the Xing family has shown me.”
Xing Shu’s words made Wu Minxia and Xing Linlin very excited.. Did Xing Shu
