Chapter 235: He… He Is Our Family!

—

Beijing, Xu Family Villa.

Whispering voices could be heard outside.

“What? Xu Mo did this? Fifth Sister, where did you get this information?”

“Impossible! There’s no way Xu Mo would do something so despicable. The police must have made a mistake!”

“Xu Mo would never do something as vile as this. Fifth Sister, you should have someone investigate again! I absolutely don’t believe it could be Xu Mo…”

Xu Shuying had come in earlier, but Xu Xuehui hadn’t yet figured out what was going on, so she didn’t say much to her.

It seemed that Xu Shuying had returned from an investigation and found some information, which led to a discussion with Xu Junzhe outside.

Xu Junzhe seemed to think the situation was very serious and was worried that she might harm herself, so he instructed Xu Shuying to keep an eye on her. Xu Xuehui found the whole thing somewhat amusing.

However, she remained calm, wanting to see how things would unfold.

She had a feeling that things wouldn’t end here and that more would come to light later.

Sure enough, after a day, Chen Anxiong showed up again, bringing a large pile of gifts to visit her.

Naturally, Xu Xuehui didn’t want to see him and stayed behind closed doors, so Xu Junzhe was forced to entertain him.

Not sure what was going through Chen Anxiong’s mind, Xu Xuehui decided to keep watching. After Chen Anxiong left, Xu Junzhe finally pushed the door open and came back in.

“Elder Sister, he’s gone!”

“Chen Anxiong was very distressed and regretful. He kept apologizing, saying he was sorry for what happened to you! He said he will take responsibility for everything!”

“If you don’t like him, that’s fine. Chen Anxiong said he’s willing to wait!”

Xu Xuehui’s face was pale, and her expression was vacant. She glanced at him faintly.

Xu Junzhe sighed, “This Chen Anxiong really deserves to be punished! He did something so vile to you, Elder Sister, I almost want to kill him! If he dares to come back, I’ll definitely scold him severely! But, Elder Sister, you should eat something. Don’t let yourself starve!”

Xu Xuehui remained silent. After a day, Xu Junzhe came in again.

“Elder Sister, I ran into Chen Anxiong again. He brought a huge pile of gifts, which are now in the living room! He really looks regretful! I’ve already informed Dad and Mom about this, and they were both very shocked. Dad said, given your age…”

“Even if you don’t like Chen Anxiong, the situation has already happened, and there’s no way to change it! Since Chen Anxiong is willing to take responsibility, I think it might be worth considering… Of course, if you really can’t stand him, there’s nothing to be done! I’ll beat him up and drive him away…”

Although Xu Xuehui had had some suspicions in the back of her mind in the past few days, hearing Xu Junzhe’s words made her feel icy all over.

She never expected her beloved younger brother to have such intentions.

This drama seemed to be getting more and more intriguing, making her want to see it through to the end. She wanted to find out just how far Xu Junzhe could go.

“I… I need to see Xu Mo!”

“Elder Sister, why do you need to see Xu Mo? He isn’t seeing anyone right now! Fifth Sister went to see him, and he wouldn’t see her! I also can’t make him come over!”

Xu Junzhe responded.

“I understand!” Xu Xuehui was unwilling to say more.

There were things she couldn’t confirm.

She needed to see Xu Mo to verify them.

She wasn’t sure if Xu Mo was the one who saved her; everything was still unclear. What she was certain of now was that Xu Mo had not harmed her!

“Xu Junzhe, it must be him!”

“Now, it’s becoming clear!”

After Xu Junzhe left, Xu Xuehui felt a pang of sadness. She thought for a moment, then took out her phone to call Xu Wanting.

“Sis, I’ve investigated most of it! The poisoning from back then definitely has some backstory! It wasn’t done by Mom or anyone else; it must be Junzhe… It can only be him!”

—

On the other side, Xu Wanting was teaching a group of children.

When she suddenly received the call, her expression changed drastically.

In an instant, she started crying, like a child.

“Are you sure?” After she stopped crying, she asked.

“Yes, I’m sure!” Xu Xuehui replied.

“Then… then…” Xu Wanting suddenly didn’t know what to say. In their family, Xu Junzhe was too important!

He wasn’t just the cherished one of Xu Deming and Xie Bingyan; he was also the pillar of the Xu family now. Xie Bingyan’s perseverance until now was entirely due to Xu Junzhe’s presence.

At this moment, it seemed emotionally impossible for them to make a choice!

If they were forced to choose between Xu Mo and Xu Junzhe, undoubtedly, most of them would choose Xu Junzhe.

This is a harsh reality!

Blood relations might be important, but the affection that has been nurtured over time is far more significant.

“Xuehui, what will you choose? What kind of decision do you want to make?” Xu Wanting asked.

“I? I don’t know!” Xu Xuehui hesitated before speaking.

“You don’t know, so why ask me? If you don’t know, I don’t know either! What is right? What is wrong?” Xu Wanting cried as she spoke.

“Now I have a vague sense of something—that is, what has Xu Mo been waiting for all these years? He clearly has enough material in his hands, but he hasn’t taken any action! What is he waiting for?” Xu Xuehui asked.

Xu Wanting was taken aback.

“We all know Xu Mo’s abilities are far beyond ours. Yet, he seems to have made no significant moves! He must be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that will make us all feel terrified!” Xu Xuehui regained her composure.

“What opportunity?”

“I’m not sure! But if I were Xu Mo, things definitely wouldn’t be that simple! This opportunity must be extremely frightening, extremely terrifying for us! Perhaps Junzhe…” Xu Xuehui suddenly couldn’t continue.

Xu Wanting was also stunned, and for a moment, she didn’t speak.

Breathing heavily.

“Xu Junzhe is scheming for our family’s assets! He wants to take everything for himself! And you have already been sacrificed, introduced to Chen Anxiong. If nothing unexpected happens, you will marry Chen Anxiong, and the Xu family… will be destined to fall apart!”

“Xu Junzhe’s goal is not Xu Mo! And Xu Mo’s goal might not necessarily be Xu Junzhe!”

“Their target might be you, or me, or even Mom and Dad… According to what you’ve said, Xu Mo already has evidence. So the next thing Xu Mo will do…”

Seeing that Xu Wanting didn’t continue, Xu Xuehui’s face turned ashen: “Junzhe will change, he will become extremely powerful. He might be cornered now, unable to go abroad. Perhaps he will act out of desperation!”

“Desperate measures? Desperate measures? Desperate…” Xu Wanting suddenly had a realization, her face changed dramatically, but then she quickly shook her head: “No, no, no, it can’t be like that! No matter what, Junzhe wouldn’t do that! He… he is our family!”

Xu Xuehui fell silent, feeling colder and colder as she thought more about it.

She genuinely felt terrified by Xu Mo’s plans and was equally frightened by Xu Junzhe’s duplicitous nature.

The predictions for the future made her shiver to the bone.

This might be the cruelest revenge, the very outcome that Xu Mo had always desired!

Meanwhile, Chen Anxiong was celebrating his success and invited Xu Junzhe for a banquet.

However, Xu Junzhe was extremely anxious.

He was desperate to go abroad, but Chen Anxiong couldn’t solve this problem for him at the moment, so Xu Junzhe had to seek other solutions!

At this moment, another piece of material was delivered to him. When Xu Junzhe glanced at it, his face turned pale!

“Strike first to gain the advantage; act too late and suffer the consequences!” Xu Junzhe gritted his teeth, his expression extremely vicious!
