Chapter 214: The Xu Mo you Knew is Dead”

The living room was deathly silent.

Everyone was breathing heavily.

No one in the family dared to take a risk on this matter.

When Xu Mo said he would do something, he likely meant it.

Xu Xuehui and Xu Shuying felt a sense of despair. They hadn’t expected Fengxiang Jewelry to have such severe issues.

What had Xu Deming been doing all these years?

Now, they had only one option: agree to Xu Mo’s demands, allowing Xu Hongluan to join the household and claim a portion of the family’s assets.

For Xie Bingyan, this was more painful than death.

Xie Bingyan now almost hated Xu Mo to death. In the past, she had exhausted all her efforts to gain the Xu family’s recognition, nearly draining all her energy.

Before discovering Xu Deming’s infidelity, she had absolute trust in him. She ignored whatever Xie Yun and Xie Zhen said, loving Xu Deming to the point of madness. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have risked having seven children.

Over the years, for the sake of the family’s business, Xie Bingyan had used every possible means. In many ways, under her guidance, Xu Wanting, Xu Xuehui, Xu Manni, and the others had indeed become outstanding.

Xie Bingyan deeply understood the hardships of life and was extremely strict with her daughters. This was why they achieved extraordinary results in their college entrance exams.

Now, suddenly having to divide a portion of the family assets to the illegitimate daughter she despised, the very person responsible for ruining her family’s stability, was something Xie Bingyan could not tolerate.

“Now, this is the only way, isn’t it?” Xu Mo said with a faint smile. “This way, it’s better for everyone.”

For Xie Bingyan, this was the ultimate despair.

She had no third option.

Xu Deming glanced around and sighed softly, “Then… let it be so. But Xu Mo, you must not let anyone else know about this information. Whatever you want, Dad will agree to it!”

“Then let’s proceed as I said. Sign the contract, transfer the shares, and start the household registration process!” Xu Mo said, clapping his hands to have someone bring over the documents.

The contract needed to be signed first, transferring a portion of the inheritance and shares from Xu Deming. The household registration process required a trip to the police station, which Xu Deming and Xu Hongluan could handle without involving Xie Bingyan.

Based on the Xu family’s assets, Xu Hongluan was entitled to receive a billion yuan. The family’s wealth was substantial, ensuring that they would be well-off for life.

In fact, Xu Deming had a family trust fund primarily based in Hong Kong, which managed the distribution of the family assets.

Once Xu Hongluan was officially part of the Xu family, she would receive shares worth a billion yuan, and subsequently, she could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan each month from the family trust.

Once the contract was signed, the rest of the process became straightforward.

Xu Mo fulfilled his promise, ensuring Xu Hongluan received her rightful entitlements.

How Xie Bingyan felt no longer mattered; the rest would follow procedure.

To Xie Bingyan, this felt like a dagger to her heart, an event she could never escape from, destined to be her lifelong nightmare.

As the saying goes, the more she cared about something, the more it got destroyed, causing her excruciating pain.

“Alright! Now that the contract is signed, just follow the steps to complete the process! I’ll keep these documents for now and use them later as needed!” Xu Mo said, gathering the documents and placing them in a bag, looking relaxed.

“Xiao Mo, you must ensure no one else sees these! The consequences would be severe!” Xu Deming reminded him again.

“Don’t worry, Xu Deming. I know what I’m doing,” Xu Mo replied with a mocking smile. “But I have one more request: don’t tell Xu Junzhe for now. I don’t want to scare him stiff!”

“This…” Xu Deming’s face froze.

“Just wait and see, Xu Deming! You’ll have a few good shows to watch!” Xu Mo said with a faint smile, standing up from the sofa and turning to leave.

“Let’s go!”

“Xiao Mo!” Suddenly, Xu Shuying ran over and hugged him from behind.

Xu Mo was taken aback.

He was met with a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Xu Shuying cried as she spoke, “Xiao Mo, please forgive Fifth Sister. Don’t hurt the family anymore. Fifth Sister only hopes for your well-being. As long as our family is okay, we can get through any difficulty! Xiao Mo, Fifth Sister… loves you…”

She clung tightly to Xu Mo’s waist, her body pressed against him.

Xu Mo was momentarily stunned. He tried to move her hands away but found that her grip was too tight.

“Xiao Mo, just listen to me first. The family can’t be without you. Eldest Sister has already apologized to you a long time ago. Fifth Sister has also been wrong. Fifth Sister has always been wrong, terribly wrong, and should never have doubted you…”

“You’re afraid, but your fear is justified,” Xu Mo said, unable to break free from her grasp. “But Dr. Xu, many things are already too late.”

“It’s not too late, it’s never too late. Our family is still here, isn’t it? Haven’t we always been doing well? Why say it’s too late?” Xu Shuying’s body trembled.

“Dr. Xu, the Xu Mo you knew is dead!” Xu Mo said slowly. “He died the day he discovered someone had poisoned him.”

“Ah?” Xu Shuying’s body stiffened.

“Xie Bingyan is right. The current me is a demon risen from hell! I’m completely different from the person you once knew,” Xu Mo continued.

“Xiao Mo… Fifth Sister was wrong, truly wrong!” Xu Shuying began to cry.

“—Live your life well,” Xu Mo said, pulling her hands away and striding towards the door without looking back.

Gu Huanxi glanced at everyone but said nothing more, quickly following Xu Mo out.

A group of people quickly left the Xu family villa.

……

On the other side, Xu Junzhe met with Chen Anxiong again. Chen Anxiong had invited several female hosts to keep him company.

With a larger crowd, everyone was enjoying themselves.

After some time, Chen Anxiong came over and patted Xu Junzhe on the shoulder.

“Power and money, you’re almost there! But to truly get what you want, it’s not enough just with this. Your background still pales in comparison to others!”

“The Xu family’s status means nothing to you now. So, what’s your decision? Will you agree to my terms?”

“What do you want me to do?” Xu Junzhe asked, looking at him.

Chen Anxiong immediately smiled.

His prediction about Xu Junzhe was accurate because Xu Junzhe had almost no other options. Only by cooperating with him could Xu Junzhe protect himself.

“Then let’s plan things out carefully. We need to operate discreetly. As long as it gets done, it’ll be good for you, good for me, and good for everyone!”

“Alright!”

Once the decision was made, Xu Junzhe felt a wave of relief wash over him, with Xu Xuehui’s pretty face flashing briefly in his mind.

Although he still felt some guilt, Xu Junzhe knew that this guilt was meaningless now.

Securing Chen Anxiong’s help and systematically emptying Fengxiang Jewelry was his primary concern.

“Caier, I’m home!”

Xu Junzhe soon returned home.

He didn’t dare to tell Gao Caier about the matter, knowing it was something unsavory. He preferred to silently bear it himself.
