Chapter 73 - Shen III (1/2)
”Grandpa... grandpa?” Xia Wan buried her face in her arm with tears flowing out from her eyes. ”Why did you hit me?”
Xia Yongqiang looked at her angrily. ”You won't admit it? Are you responsible for what happened last night?”
”I... I didn't do it.” Xia Wan's eyes flashed. She did not believe that he could find out so soon.
”You found reporters that day.” When Xia Yongqiang saw that she would not admit it, he really wanted to kill her with a crutch. ”Who did you want to send to the bed?”
Xia Wan cried and pleaded with him. ”Grandpa, I would not dare. I would not dare anymore.”
”Tell me, who were you supposed to send there?” Xia Yongqiang stared at her.
”Grandpa, I really know that I was wrong...”
Xia Yongqiang pounded the table fiercely. ”You fool! Why don't you understand?”
”What... what...” Xia Wan shivered.
”Changing the people on the bed and getting rid of so many reporters without anyone even noticing. Do you think ordinary people are capable of doing that?”
Xia Yongqiang looked at his granddaughter in disgust. He always thought she was smart and stable, but he did not expect that she would plot against him.
”Since the man had changed the person on the bed, he already knows what you had done. If you are not afraid of retaliation, don't say anything. I won't take care of you!”
Xia Wan realized that this was not good. She had forgotten that since A Miao was saved, the person who saved her had to be….
”It's A Miao!” she cried. ”I put A Miao in a coma and sent her to the room, but I don't know how... how she became Xia Mei.”
”If you are of no use, believe it or not, I'll kill you!” Xia Yongqiang was angry from head to toe. ”A Miao? You even want to do something to A Miao. Do you want to destroy the Xia family? ”
It was no wonder that the man had been able to change the victim so quickly. It turned out to be Shen Xinglan.
”I... I didn't expect Shen Xinglan to move so quickly. I really don't know. Boo-hoo...” Xia Wan with tears on her face knelt on the ground.
Xia Yongqiang raised his crutch and was about to fight on, but was stopped by Yao Lili, who had rushed in suddenly.
”Dad, dad, you can't beat Wanwan. Tomorrow she will see Bai Youran. How will you be able to explain it then?”
”Pah!” Xia Yongqiang threw his crutch to the ground. He took a deep breath. ”There are a group of mysterious bodyguards at Shen Xinglan's side. I can't find out what origin they have. Why do you think people in City S don't dare to provoke him?”
”I don't know, grandpa!” Xia Wan hugged Yao Lili and cried bitterly. ”He will not let me get away with it. Grandpa, help me! Help me!”
Xia Yongqiang snorted coldly. ”I can't save you. It is the Bai family that can save you.”
”The Bai family...” Xia Wan did not understand.
”How Shen Xinglan will get his revenge on you, I don't know. But if he lays hands on the Xias, our family is not his opponent. But...”
Xia Yongqiang looked at her. ”If the Bai family can fully support us by then, even the Ji's will not dare to make any moves so easily.”
”Grandpa means...”
”Be good and loyal to Bai Youran. As long as he is satisfied, the Bai family will naturally stand by us.” Xia Yongqiang's eyes flashed. ”If you let the Bai family find out that you plotted this incident, you know what the consequences will be.”
Xia Wan quivered. She never thought of the Bai family's position. It turned out that her own small thoughts were not worth mentioning in front of the family.
”Don't lose your only value, otherwise... I still have a granddaughter.” Xia Yongqiang glanced coldly at the mother and daughter on the ground and slammed the door.
Yao Lili quickly held Xia Wan's arm and said, ”Hold on. Mom will help you back to your room.”
Xia Wan looked confused as she trembled with each step and went back with Yao Lili.
The incident really passed by quietly. But what shocked A Miao was that a few days later, there were a great number of sex tapes posted on the Internet, and the leading lady starring in them was actually Bai Lu.
”What are you looking at me for?” Shen Xinglan picked up his coffee and saw Miao eating breakfast while secretly looking at him.
Since that day, the relationship between Shen Xinglan and A Miao became subtle. Shen Xinglan no longer spoke sarcastically to A Miao, and A Miao no longer hated Shen Xinglan.
But... Shen Xinglan always felt that it was not enough.
”Say what you have to say.”
A Miao shook the tablet. ”Have you seen it?”
”What?”
”The video.”
Shen Xinglan replied, ”No.”
A Miao curled her lip. ”Bai Lu and a man... It's gotten many clicks.”
”Have you seen it?” Shen Xinglan suddenly raised his voice.
Of course, he knew the contents of the video, which were the sex acts between Bai Lu and her foreign boyfriend. In them, there were various postures and tools. It could be said to be a classic porn film.
”I clicked it...” A Miao scratched her face. ”But when I saw that she was naked, I turned it off.”
”She has already gone abroad and will not come back any time soon,” said Shen Xinglan with a satisfied look.
”Oh.” A Miao's made an expression that said, ”Did you do something?”
”It's her boyfriend.” Shen Xinglan lifted the corners of his mouth. ”Her boyfriend abroad is a gangster. He knows that Bai Lu likes someone else. The video is just a warning.”
A Miao suddenly understood. ”So, she followed that man and left? But... Why did her boyfriend get here?”
”Because I had someone call and tell him,” Shen Xinglan said quite indifferently.
……
”Haha, it was you!”
”You don't have to worry about Xia Wan, she is now trapped. And as for Ji Xue…” Shen Xinglan's eyes narrowed, ”she will pay for her actions. ”
A Miao lowered her head and Shen Xinglan waited for a long time, somewhat discontented that she had not responded.
