Thinking it over, Xie Bingyan being the eldest daughter of the Xie family, always proud and exacting, it seemed inevitable that she would be intolerant of imperfections. It’s no wonder this happened.
What ordinary man could endure such arrogance and strictness? Xu Deming’s infidelity was almost predictable.
…
Xu Deming didn’t come to the capital because something major happened in the Xu family.
That night, Xie Bingyan returned to the Xu family villa and immediately went on a rampage, smashing everything inside and out.
Countless expensive tables and furniture were destroyed, which filled Xu Deming with rage.
The next evening, when Xu Deming returned home, Xie Bingyan was still there.
Without saying a word, Xie Bingyan picked up something and hurled it at him. Xu Deming yelled at her to stop, but Xie Bingyan, in her mad fury, ignored him and soon had him bruised and battered.
Xu Wanting and Xu Shuying tried to intervene, but it was of little use. At this point, Xie Bingyan seemed to have gone mad, wanting nothing less than to kill Xu Deming.
Xu Deming, knowing he was in the wrong, didn’t dare to fight back. Moreover, with Xie Bingyan’s fierce demeanor and the backing of the Xie family, he didn’t dare lay a hand on her.
“Regardless of what you do, it’s already a fact! Whether you accept it or not, the outcome remains the same!” Xu Deming finally said dejectedly, fleeing as Xie Bingyan continued to beat him.
For the next two days, he couldn’t return home and had to stay in a hotel.
Unable to find him, Xie Bingyan grew even more furious. She stormed into the Fengxiang Jewelry office building, found Xu Deming, and beat him up in his office.
This time, Xu Deming didn’t just sit there and take it; he fought back and slapped Xie Bingyan several times. Crying and relentless, Xie Bingyan tore at Xu Deming’s clothes, ripping them apart and leaving him covered in scratches.
“You’re insane! You’ve completely lost it! You crazy woman!” Xu Deming felt the intensity of Xie Bingyan’s madness, stepping back repeatedly. “What do you want? What will it take for you to stop? What do you want, to finally give up?”
The moment he uttered those words, Xie Bingyan became visibly more enraged. She immediately called the guards outside and began smashing the office of the Fengxiang Jewelry general manager.
In no time, she had destroyed the office beyond recognition before leaving with a vicious glare.
Seeing this, Xu Deming dared not say another word, feeling powerless as he slumped to the floor.
Xu Wanting entered, glanced at him with apparent anger, said nothing, and walked away.
Meanwhile, Xie Bingyan remained, refusing to leave.
She still resided in the Xu family villa.
Xu Deming didn’t dare to return home because Xie Bingyan had nearly demolished everything—the living room, the bedrooms—all left in shambles. It was said that upon returning home, she continued her rampage.
Xu Deming grew weary of her antics. After having his office tidied up, he chose to stay and continue working in the company office, avoiding any direct confrontation with her.
However, shortly after, someone arrived in Xiahai City.
This person had flown in from Beijing and went straight to find Xu Deming.
Upon seeing this person, Xu Deming glanced over, paused for a moment, then with a grim expression, instructed someone to prepare tea for the guest.
“I admit I was wrong in this matter! But she didn’t suffer either. She demolished everything at home, smashed it all to pieces! What has she turned Xu Mo into? She’s gone mad!” Xu Deming angrily vented to the visitor. “This isn’t my fault!”
The visitor, a middle-aged man in military attire, several years older than Xu Deming, furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, and delicately toyed with his teacup.
“What do you intend to do now?”
“What can I do? The entire house is in ruins! The company isn’t much better! She’s already disrupting the normal operations of the company! Not to mention what she’s done to Xu Mo—it’s never-ending!” Xu Deming complained bitterly, his anger palpable. “Xie Bingyan is ruthless. She’s even tormenting her own biological son! I’ve told her before that even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. No matter how malicious she is, she shouldn’t treat Xu Mo like this!”
The visitor was Xie Bingyan’s elder brother, Xie Zhen, dressed in military attire, radiating authority and dignity, adorned with four stars on his shoulder.
This time, upon hearing about the situation at the Xu family, he had specially come over.
“Xu Mo? Why hasn’t he returned to the Xie family? I haven’t seen him!” Xie Zhen glanced at Xu Deming.
At this mention, Xu Deming felt a bit uneasy. “No, he hasn’t! We haven’t taken him back to the Xie family, or rather, Xie Bingyan hasn’t taken him back!”
“Why haven’t you brought him back for us to see?” Xie Zhen asked.
“Um…” Xu Deming hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I can’t take the blame for this. It’s all Xie Bingyan’s doing. She doesn’t want this to be public knowledge. Many people don’t know Xu Mo’s true identity. He was found when he was fourteen!”
“Is that so?” Xie Zhen frowned.
“She’s been tormenting him all along! She hasn’t let up on him, and she hasn’t let up on me either!” Xu Deming grew visibly angrier as he spoke. “Just look at what Xie Bingyan has become now. She’s completely turned into a madwoman!”
“No matter how mad she’s become, isn’t it all because of you?” Xie Zhen stared at him.
“Well…” Xu Deming was somewhat fearful of the Xie family and didn’t dare to argue.
“You’d better resolve this matter quickly! Don’t let it drag on. No matter what, a mistress is just a mistress, and a illegitimate daughter is just that! You can’t give her a rightful status unless you want to break ties between the Xie and Xu families!” Xie Zhen said coldly.
Hearing this, Xu Deming sighed in resignation, “I admit my mistake! But that child… she was born with a heart condition. I can’t just abandon her!”
“That’s your business! As the second son of the Xu family, you should know how to handle this!” Xie Zhen said impatiently. “Also, about Xu Mo, I’ll return to Beijing soon, Have him come see me.”
“He doesn’t listen to me anymore!” Xu Deming replied.
“How much suffering has he endured to reach this point?” Xie Zhen asked sternly.
“A lot, a lot. We’ve found out a lot. This child has suffered greatly outside. He grew up in an orphanage since he was little, drinking rainwater when thirsty and sometimes scavenging in garbage piles when hungry! To earn pocket money, he even went out to beg, crying and wailing, doing everything!” Xu Deming explained.
Xie Zhen fell silent, his expression grave.
“Of course, it’s not just that. After we brought him back, he suffered even more! This child now refuses to forgive us!” Xu Deming said.
“That’s your own fault!” Xie Zhen replied impatiently. “Call him over, let’s have a talk. I want to speak with him.”
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to. This child is very clever and extremely stubborn. He’s inherited Xie Bingyan’s stubbornness completely. You can’t persuade him even with all your might! Moreover, he has a vision and courage that ordinary people find hard to possess. He conducts himself with extraordinary magnanimity! We didn’t realize before that this child is a genius!” Xu Deming spoke with a hint of pride, yet mixed with regret. “He hardly listens to anyone now and has cut ties with his family!”
“I’ve heard from Wanting. He nearly bankrupted Deverna with a wave of his hand!” Xie Zhen hesitated briefly, then said coldly, “However, precisely because of this, I must meet him. Regardless, I won’t allow Xie Bingyan to come to harm!”
Xu Deming sighed, “I understand. I’ll find a way to notify him.”
“This matter of yours, you better resolve it quickly and cleanly! Don’t think that our Xie family is easy to bully. A bastard daughter is just that, a bastard daughter!” Xie Zhen stared sternly at him, exuding an aura of hostility.
Xu Deming hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.
