From the time he started babbling to learning how to walk, from his first day in kindergarten to entering elementary school, from getting into college to the first time he brought his girlfriend home, she was filled with joy.
He grew up all the way!
That day, there was a grand wedding banquet at home. Although Xie Bingyan still didn’t quite like Gao Cai’er’s family background, she tolerated it since the two were in love.
Bit by bit, memories flooded her mind. She remembered that summer day, playing with the child in a cartoon car, feeling light-hearted and joyful. She remembered that birthday when she took him to the zoo to see animals. She remembered how happy she was when he won first place in kindergarten and took him on a cruise…
All of it, every single moment, was a memory.
She held him in her hands, afraid he would fall; she kept him in her mouth, afraid he would melt. With this child around, nothing else seemed important. In her eyes, he was everything!
Blood oozed from the wound, and Xu Junzhe’s expression turned from shock to panic. He couldn’t believe that Xie Bingyan had actually hurt him!
He quickly covered his stomach, taking a few steps back.
“Ah! Ah!”
He sensed that something terrible was about to happen, and the approach of death sent chills down his spine. He quickly turned his head and shouted to the distant people, “Help, help! Please help!”
His face had already turned pale, and enduring the pain, he stumbled toward the crowd, some of whom were naturally his people.
Hearing his cries for help, they couldn’t help but turn to look.
“Help, help me!” Xu Junzhe cried out, tears streaming down his face, as fear seeped into his very bones.
Xie Bingyan watched him stagger away, her mind flashing back to that rainy night when she heard the sound of a child crying, catching her off guard.
She had put on a thick raincoat and, with firm resolve, carried the child out to hail a taxi, traveling far, far away in a large loop.
The child was still crying incessantly, and she felt overwhelmed with frustration, so she left him by a foul-smelling ditch.
The rain poured down, and the air was cold, but her heart was even colder. She didn’t even look back once, leaving resolutely. From that moment on, for nearly a decade, she never heard any news of the child again…
“He grew up! And he’s gotten taller!”
“Despite not having his parents’ love, he grew up stronger than anyone! He thrived from the trash heap, rising step by step to where he is today!”
—
“That is… my child!”
Xie Bingyan saw several men walking towards her. Xu Junzhe, who had already crawled to the side of a car, turned his head back in terror to glance at her and said something to those men.
The men turned around in shock, looking in her direction. Xie Bingyan didn’t know what they intended to do, and could only stare at them with a deathly pale face.
She no longer had the strength to move and lay there weakly.
The men seemed to realize that something was seriously wrong and quickly rushed over. At the same time, another bodyguard car stopped not far away.
Suddenly, Xie Bingyan felt only exhaustion. She closed her eyes, no longer wanting to see what was happening outside.
For a moment, the world spun, and her head swayed. Then, she lost consciousness.
…
The rain was pouring down heavily, a torrential downpour.
The child’s uncontrollable crying only made the already troubled mind more agitated!
In an instant, she felt as if she had returned to that day, back to that villa, that room. She pushed open the door and saw that endlessly crying baby… it felt like a lifetime ago!
…
Xu Manni met with Chen Anxiong.
She had flown back from Xiahai City specifically for this matter.
In the past, Chen Anxiong had helped her a lot with work. He was involved in the entertainment industry and owned a live-streaming company, where he had recruited quite a few third-tier actresses to stream.
Chen Anxiong had extensive connections in the entertainment world and was involved in both legitimate and underground activities. Now, Xu Manni had only one thought: to make Xu Mo pay for what he had done.
She wanted Chen Anxiong to help her with this matter.
Chen Anxiong was quite surprised by Xu Manni’s visit, but he found it highly amusing.
In terms of looks, Xu Manni was naturally not as beautiful as the young Xu Xuehui. The young Xu Xuehui was stunningly beautiful, with a face that could topple nations, having completely inherited her mother’s beauty, while Xu Manni fell just a bit short.
This was the reason Xu Manni had remained relatively obscure over the years. If Xu Manni were as beautiful as Xu Xuehui, she would probably have become famous nationwide by now.
Of course, even so, Chen Anxiong wasn’t picky—Xu Manni was still a very attractive woman.
“You want to do this, but it’s illegal and comes with a high price. Manni, what are you willing to sacrifice?” Chen Anxiong asked.
“I have money! Whatever it costs, I’ll pay. Just find someone!” Xu Manni replied angrily.
“It’s not just about money! If it were only about money, it would be very easy to resolve. If you really want to go through with this, there may be other conditions involved,” Chen Anxiong said with a sly smile.
“What other conditions?” Xu Manni frowned.
“Let’s talk about it when you’ve made up your mind! I don’t think you’re mentally prepared yet,” Chen Anxiong found the situation increasingly amusing.
Chen Anxiong was delighted that Xu Manni had come to him on her own.
Just imagine—who wouldn’t want a pair of beautiful sisters?
However, since the situation with Xu Xuehui hadn’t been settled yet, Chen Anxiong didn’t want to complicate things for now, so he decided to stall.
“I need this done as soon as possible! Just thinking about him makes me sick!” Xu Manni said.
“Don’t worry! Once you’ve made up your mind, we can discuss it. Anything can be done, as long as you’re willing to pay the price!” Chen Anxiong replied, grinning, with a wicked gleam in his eyes.
He didn’t want to complicate matters, but if Xu Manni agreed, he could come up with a script or something and blindfold her.
As long as she could pay the price, helping her once wouldn’t be a big deal.
Offending a billionaire from a large conglomerate wasn’t wise, but with his family background, he wasn’t afraid of Xu Mo!
…
“Can this be done to Xu Mo?”
“It can be done! But the impact on him might be minimal.”
“Impressive! Using someone else’s hand to kill! And they really pulled it off!”
In Shu, in a room, the news came back, and several people looked at the information and discussed it.
After saying a few words, they fell silent.
“What about Xu Deming? Has no one made a move on him?”
“No one has made a move yet! Xu Deming has been staying in the capital, and Xu Junzhe hasn’t done anything to him! He’s still unaware of everything!”
“Ridiculous, how can he still not know after all this? What a useless person! It’s a pity this plan wasn’t fully carried out.”
“Yes, it’s such a shame!”
…
On the other side, Xu Mo also received some news.
“Xu Manni is back and had a meeting with Chen Anxiong! She was furious!”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Mo was slightly surprised and frowned.
“What is Xu Manni planning to do?” Li Banzhuang asked.
Xu Mo didn’t respond, instead turning to look at the clouds outside the window, thinking to himself that karma really does come around.
In her past life, Xu Manni committed suicide. There were many reasons, not just because Xu Mo’s secrets were exposed, but also because of her own troubles.
Xu Junzhe told her the reason why Xu Xuehui married Chen Anxiong, and then he exposed her affair with her brother-in-law, ruining her reputation and making her despised by everyone.
Xu Manni couldn’t handle it all at once, and feeling too ashamed to face Xu Xuehui, she jumped to her death.
Chen Anxiong also put in a lot of effort to have both sisters for himself.
“Foolish! Truly foolish beyond measure!”
A deep, chilling anger flared up in Xu Mo’s eyes.
