Chapter 397: Chapter 398: Cultivating into an Old Fox and Wreaking Havoc in the Human World Again

Xia Yangyang was not a fool.

Liu Ruyan kept insisting that it was all for her good.

Yet, she did not withhold a single piece of information from her.

Xia Yangyang didn’t know to what extent the tale had been exaggerated.

But Xia Yangyang did know that Liu Ruyan deliberately manipulated Xia Weiwei into many things.

Such a great opportunity, how could Liu Ruyan possibly let it slip?

However, even though Xia Yangyang knew it was a trap, she still had no choice but to jump into it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan laughed.

With a refined demeanor, she fixed her hair: “Xia Yangyang, you are far cleverer than your mother.”

Liu Ruyan got up and walked over to Xia Yangyang: “Indeed, I asked Weiwei to take the opportunity to inform you about this, and I secretly investigated the past events and sought confirmation from Gu Mingzhu. But the fact is, she killed your mother, and you happen to be married to Gu Mingzhu’s younger brother.”

“What is your purpose?”

“My aim is simple, you must be well aware. Weiwei is infatuated with Qi Chen, and yet you ended up marrying him. My foolish daughter, I told her countless times not to rush things, but she couldn’t help herself from taking a shot at you, and now she’s in this mess. We could have waited for you to unravel the truth gradually and break away from the Gu Family on your own, but her impatience caused unnecessary damage. Now, it’s nearly impossible for Weiwei to marry Qi Chen. At this point, I have no other hopes. You might consider my past actions as scheming, and if there are accounts to be settled, you can place the blame on me. Just spare Weiwei this time, I promise she will never bother you again. As for your marriage with Qi Chen, that’s up to you to weigh the pros and cons. If you think that all past events are over and your mother’s been long gone, uncovering truth might not make any sense, you might as well continue to be the young mistress of the Gu family, like I’ve never said anything today.”

Xia Yangyang just laughed: “If Xia Weiwei inherited half of your cunning, she wouldn’t be in prison now. Aunt Liu, does my father know about your scheming nature?”

With a charming smile, Liu Ruyan said: “Your father is a blockhead who doesn’t understand romance. In his mind, I am probably the most innocent person in the world.”

Xia Yangyang also laughed: “I’ll drop the charges against Xia Weiwei, but Aunt Liu, please control her in the future. It’s not too late for her to come out and cause trouble again once she learns to be as sly as you.”

“Yangyang, even though you’re not my daughter, I quite like you.”

Xia Yangyang had no energy to keep bantering with her.

So she turned and left the study.

On the balcony, Qi Chen was talking with Xia Liangdong.

Xia Yangyang was in a whirl of emotions.

One of the men out there was her father, who refused to uncover the truth about her mother because of his vested interests.

Xia Yangyang had never resented Xia Liangdong so much.

She even wondered if her father ever truly loved her mother.

Perhaps if he had emotionally betrayed her, Xia Yangyang could have forgiven him.

But to submit to the person who had once killed her mother for two billion, Xia Yangyang found it intolerable.

And Qi Chen, he had never told her the truth.

She knew very well that the one thing she didn’t want was for the Gu Family to become the sheltering tree for the Xia Family.

But behind her back, he made decisions without consulting her.

Perhaps others may think that Xia Yangyang should be grateful for this.

But probably because of Gu Mingzhu, Xia Yangyang only felt like that two billion was a poisonous snake, coiling in her heart, ready to bite her at any time….
