Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xi Cheng was still dumbstruck over Lin Yu’s betrayal, muttering, “No way… How’s that possible? Lin Yu… Why did she do that? Why would she do that? She’s family… one of us! She—she’s the young mistress of the Xi family! What could she possibly gain by betraying us like that?”

Han Yuan looked at her son and sneered, “She’s the Xi family’s young mistress with you around. But if you and I are gone, she can use the child in her stomach to become the head of our branch of the Xi family! So, do you still not understand why she did that?”

Xi Cheng was shocked, his disbelief written all over his face. “Where—where is she?” he blurted out. He wanted to go find her and ask her for an explanation.

Han Yuan was beyond disappointed as she stared at her artless and unsophisticated son. She answered, “She’s pregnant with your child. No matter what she has done, the child is innocent. So, in the next few months, the only thing she has to do is take care of her unborn child. You two can talk after she has given birth. It’s your own business whether you guys leave or stay. From there on, you two have nothing to do with the Xi family.”

“Mom?!” Xi Cheng abruptly lifted his head and asked, voice trembling. “Do you really not want me anymore?”

Han Yuan turned her face away and pushed her wheelchair away. “It’s my fault you are the way you are today,” she uttered detachedly. “The only thing I can help you with now is to let you get up on your own and walk out. Otherwise, I would live and die discontented for having let down the Xi family’s ancestors!”

“Mom! Mom! I’ve learnt my lesson, I really have! Mom!” Xi Cheng rushed over and kneeled before Han Yuan again, begging imploringly.

Han Yuan raised her head to stop her tears from falling. However, tears were already inadvertently streaming down her face. She forcefully pushed Xi Cheng away forcefully and said gravely, “Shi Nian, John! Watch over him! I’m leaving him to you guys!”

John silently came forward and forcibly pulled Xi Cheng to his feet, stopping him from pouncing toward Han Yuan once more.

“Yun Nan, please send me back,” Han Yuan whispered. Yun Nan quickly went to take hold of the push handles on Han Yuan’s wheelchair and left the meeting room with Han Yuan without saying a word.

“Mom!” They could hear Xi Cheng sadly cry out behind them. However, Han Yuan had no intention of stopping at all.

Xi Cheng tried to chase after them, but Shi Nian and John stopped him. “Xi Cheng, calm down! Don’t do this!” Shi Nian commanded.

Xi Cheng pushed him away. “Calm down? How? Tell me, how am I supposed to calm down?! Of course you’re calm! You’ve won the hearts of everyone at Xi Corporation, and you had your wife win my mother’s trust! Everything played into your hands! You got what you wanted! To think I treated you like a brother, and you pull something like this on me!”

John couldn’t stand to listen anymore. “Xi Cheng! What are you on about?”

Incensed, Shi Nian released Xi Cheng and stated evenly, “Don’t stop him. Let him talk!”

John hurriedly said, “Mr. Shi, Young Master Xi Cheng only said those things in the heat of anger. Don’t take it to heart.”

Xi Cheng shoved John away. “Was I wrong, though? We’ve been close friends since birth, but he played me! You watched as I was deceived and waited for me to lose everything, didn’t you? Didn’t you, Shi Nian? You, and also Ye Kun and Liang Han! I treat you guys like my blood brothers, and you backstabbed me like this! You all backstabbed me!”

Xi Cheng flew into a rage. Shi Nian looked at him with pity in his eyes as he scolded, “Do you even hear yourself? Aren’t you ashamed of what you’re saying? So, the whole world has let you down, has it? And all the fault lies with others, do they? Then what about those signatures you signed personally? What’s up with that? Do you have a brain up there at all?”

“If we truly wanted to see you make a fool of yourself, not only you, but even the Xi Corporation would already be in those people’s hands by now. You don’t even have a clue who your opponent is now! What a joke! And you have the cheek to yell at me and John here!”

“John was almost beaten to death just so he could go out to find you this morning. Did you show any concern or ask about his injuries? In your eyes, everything that others have done for you is what you rightly deserve, a matter of course! On what grounds, Xi Cheng? Who do you think you are?”

Every time Shi Nian took a step forward when he threw out a question, Xi Cheng would take a step back until his back was against the wall and there was nowhere else to retreat.

Shi Nian didn’t stop firing questions at him. “What were you doing when your mother was lying in the hospital? You were fooling around with another woman! Did you think Lin Yu will take good care of your mother so you didn’t need to worry about her? On what grounds do you have to ask your wife to devote herself to you and your family while you are fooling around outside?”

“Lin Yu abused Auntie Han Yuan for so long, but you never noticed! Today is the day your five companies transferred hands, and Lin Yu had also decided to make sure Auntie Han Yuan would never wake up today! If we had arrived a minute later, Lin Yu would’ve injected the poison into Auntie’s body!”
