Chapter 253

Xu Xuehui had never known about these matters before; she hadn’t thought much about them. Now, as Xu Mo explained, she found it all too dark and horrifying.

She had previously thought that Xu Mo was behind these things, believing only he had the motive. She hadn’t realized that Xu Junzhe had even greater and more complex motives.

Looking back over the years, Xu Junzhe had always appeared obedient and caring towards them. Every time he returned, he was cheerful, bringing gifts and showing concern. Even now, in their minds, Xu Junzhe’s status was far higher than Xu Mo’s.

So, what did Xu Junzhe’s concern for them over the years really mean?

Was it all just an act?

It was too dark, too frightening!

“Then… what about Dad? Does Dad know about these things?” Xu Xuehui swallowed, her face still wet with tears, her makeup smudged.

Xu Mo shook his head and smiled. “Xu Deming is still quite interesting! The things he’s been doing recently are quite intriguing! But for now, I can’t deal with him.”

“Interesting?” Xu Xuehui didn’t understand what he meant.

“Xu Xuehui, just wait! There will definitely be more developments in the future. Your family is certainly not done yet! I hope that Xie Bingyan either dies or doesn’t!” Xu Mo said with a faint smile.

Xu Xuehui’s heart skipped a beat. “Xu Mo, Mom has already been taken into the emergency room. Do you still have any grievances? Do you hate her so much? The poison wasn’t administered by Mom!”

“Yes, it wasn’t her! But do you think she bears no responsibility?” Xu Mo stared at her.

“Well…” Xu Xuehui was at a loss for words.

“Don’t stay here any longer! You should go back! If Xie Bingyan dies, let me know. I’ll buy firecrackers and celebrate!” Xu Mo dismissed her. “There are many things you don’t know! But from my perspective, you don’t need to figure them out!”

“I… I didn’t expect there to be so many things! I had speculated with my sister before and guessed that Junzhe might change, but I didn’t expect him to change so drastically! Is he really dead?” Xu Xuehui asked, staring at Xu Mo with a pale face.

“Perhaps he is dead! Perhaps not! But he definitely won’t show up in the near future! He probably wants to wait until the situation stabilizes before making a move!”

Xu Mo smiled and looked at her. “These things, Xie Bingyan didn’t tell you, did she? Did she ever confront you about them?”

“No!” Xu Xuehui shook her head.

“That’s right! There are some things Xie Bingyan doesn’t know! For example, she definitely doesn’t understand the situation with Xu Pandi! So, after seeing that nothing has happened, Xu Junzhe will definitely start showing himself gradually!” Xu Mo said, a cold smile spreading across his lips. “He will surely contact you again!”

“He wants to…” Xu Xuehui was surprised.

“Don’t forget! He is still the CEO of Fengxiang Jewelry! Xu Deming will do everything he can to help him maintain control of Fengxiang Jewelry!” Xu Mo mocked.

“Dad? How is that possible? I’ll notify Dad about this right away!” Xu Xuehui hurriedly said, pulling out her phone.

Xu Mo laughed and interrupted her. “Don’t be deluded! You can’t stop Xu Deming! Do you know why?”

“Why?” Xu Xuehui’s heart skipped a beat.

“Because Xu Junzhe and Xu Deming… are connected!” Xu Mo paused, smirking maliciously.

“Ah?” Xu Xuehui was astonished.

“Although he wasn’t born to Xie Bingyan, it doesn’t mean he wasn’t born to Xu Deming. It doesn’t mean there isn’t a connection with Xu Deming. Xu Xuehui, what are you thinking?” Xu Mo looked at her with a mocking expression.

Xu Xuehui was completely stunned.

She finally understood why Xu Mo hated Xu Deming and Xie Bingyan so much.

Previously, Xu Deming had regretted his actions and had asked Xu Mo to come home several times, but Xu Mo ignored him.

In the end, he had even become too lazy to see him.

It turned out that there was a connection.

No wonder Xu Deming had disregarded the objections from Xu Bohan and others and insisted on passing Fengxiang Jewelry to Xu Junzhe. No wonder Xu Deming wasn’t worried at all about losing the family assets!

All of this had a reason behind it. Xu Deming had already made arrangements long ago.

“Does Mom… know about this?” Xu Xuehui wondered if Xie Bingyan wanted to kill Xu Junzhe because of this.

“I don’t know!” Xu Mo said with a smile. “Don’t think too much into it! Xie Bingyan probably still doesn’t know about this. She probably thinks Xu Junzhe is just Xu Deming’s adopted son. But in the future, who knows? She might find out, or she might not! I still hope she lives on, to continue watching!”

Xu Xuehui saw his smile and felt a deep sense of cruelty.

Xu Mo must hate Xie Bingyan intensely.

He hated her favoritism, her abandonment, and her threats to kill him.

Even though Xu Mo had once looked forward to going home with such anticipation, excitement, and joy, after experiencing repeated disappointments, all that remained in his heart was despair and a desire for revenge.

If it weren’t for a deep-seated hatred, Xu Mo wouldn’t have watched everything unfold without intervening in the matters of Xu Pandi and Xu Wanting.

All of them, the sisters, were the root of the problem.

“Xu Mo, I’m sorry about Second Sister…” Xu Xuehui’s eyes reddened again.

Xu Mo glanced at her indifferently and said, “Don’t do pointless things, Xu Xuehui! You should know that some wounds will never heal. Once you look back, the excruciating pain will forever remain in your heart. I don’t care about these things anymore. I only wish to see her slowly gasp for breath and die. If she doesn’t die today, she certainly won’t live much longer!”

Xu Xuehui was deeply moved by Xu Mo’s words.

Over the years, they had indeed done many wrong things.

These wrongs couldn’t be resolved with just a few apologies.

Some wounds would never heal.

Because the pain was simply too intense!

There were words Xu Xuehui could no longer bring herself to say. She could only leave Xu Mo’s office, slowly descend the stairs, and wait for a car.

She felt lost and hollow-eyed.

Xu Xuehui needed to reassess everything about the Xu family. The impact of what Xu Mo had revealed to her today was overwhelming.

She couldn’t imagine the attitudes of Xie Bingyan, Xu Junzhe, or Xu Deming.

As she stepped outside and looked at the sun, her eyes were filled with confusion.

…

Xu Xuehui didn’t remember how she got back to the hospital.

When she arrived in front of the emergency room, the lights were still on, and the rescue efforts were ongoing.

Xu Wanting was sitting there, exhausted, while Xu Manni and Xu Shuying were nowhere to be seen.

Xie Bingyan was somewhat fortunate; she had fallen into a landscaped area where well-maintained tree branches slowed her descent. Otherwise, rescue might have been unnecessary.

Xu Wanting saw Xu Xuehui return but remained motionless and dazed, her tears long dried up.

In the past year, Xu Wanting had visibly lost weight, appearing fragile and weak. It was hard to imagine the suffering she had endured during this time.

Seeing her elder sister, Xu Xuehui felt a deep sense of grievance and moved closer. Xu Wanting, unable to contain her emotions, embraced her and began to cry.
