Chapter 456 - Digging One's Grave
When she opened her eyes minutes later, Xiong Wuyue felt as if all strength had been drained from her body.
She was expelled...
She was cast out from the Xiong family!
What would she do now?!
Without the surname Xiong, how could she live?
Xiong Wuyue was used to arrogance and getting ahead of others because of her surname. The surname Xiong was legendary, a symbol of power and status, and she exploited it a lot. She was able to get whatever she wanted with her surname. She could leave unscathed from any trouble she caused due to her surname. People did not easily offend her.
As a member of the Xiong family, no matter from which branch they came from, they were given properties, businesses, and dividends from the Xiong Empire. Her credit card had no credit limit. She could shop, travel anywhere, and live blissfully no matter what. There were many places that were exclusives to the Xiongs only, or to the legendary families alone.
The VVIP membership cards that Xiong Wuyue had on her were all because she was part of the Xiong family.
She depended on her surname to live unrestrainedly while stepping on others. But now that Xiong Wuyue lost it, she was reduced to being a common girl named Wuyue. The same as any other Wuyue living mediocre lives.
In her eyes, it was nothing but a bleak future. A humiliating one.
Her surname that she was the proudest of was now taken away from her…
How could she live on?
What face could she show to those girls she used to look down on?!
She could not shop in the noble-class boutiques like she used to and have everything delivered to her in a silver platter. She could not go to private luxurious clubs she used to visit before with her followers. She could no longer attend parties while flaunting her surname Xiong.
What kind of life was she going to live from here on?
She did not have a business firm under her name, anything that needed management was under her father. The rights she could have inherited as a member of the second branch was stripped away from her now. The only properties she had under her name were the trust funds that her father had set up for her, her jewelries, a bunch of villas, and an entire garage of limited edition luxury cars.
Even though it was still filthy rich in an average person's eyes, enough for anyone to live a lifetime without worry, Xiong Wuyue who was used to the aristocratic life since the day she opened her eyes could only see it as meager.
Xiong Wuyue trembled, terrified that she would never be able to live like she did before.
The thought of the terrible future that awaited her replaced the initial thoughts of getting Linfeng back.
She had to get her surname back first!
She must be a Xiong!
Xiong Wuyue paced around the room. What to do? What could she do?
She blamed everything on Xiong Zhi. That s.l.u.t was probably the one who whispered to the old man to banish her from the family.
In reality, it was not Xiong Zhi but Old Xiong who initiated it. Xiong Zhi naturally concurred.
The head of every branch was notified as well and agreed to expel Xiong Wuyue because her vile reputation was really too much. They had noticed that some people seemed to look at them differently recently.
It was unacceptable!
The Xiong family surname was even affected and defiled in the internet.
Although the water army and PR team of the Xiong Empire cleaned it up, it was still mentioned from time to time.
Because Xiong Wuyue's name had their surname Xiong on it, if they asked the platforms to blatantly block the term and Xiong Wuyue's name become censored, it would be totally obvious to the public. It would simply add fuel to the fire.
Thus, incensed by the troubles she caused, no one helped Xiong Wuyue out. Xiong Wuyue was now on her own.
The pacing woman deliberated if she should go and pay visit to Old Xiong.
She wanted to explain herself.
However, she knew that the old man was ruthless, especially to the people who shamed the family surname. Even though she wanted to go, Xiong Wuyue could not risk being thrown to the dogs.
Her mind went round and round, but was unable to get anywhere.
Finally, her thoughts settled on her father, the only person who would definitely help her in any way.
Xiong Wuyue still remembered her father's words before he was sent to the court.
He said that he would lie low in prison. More than a month had already passed, maybe her father had enough power now to help her?
Perhaps, their great plan could be restarted again.
Perhaps, they could kill Xiong Zhi, the root of all evils, and that dying old man.
That was the plan.
Then her father could become the head and she would be the Young Miss of Xiong family.
Even though she had been expelled, the head could still let her come back.
Her father seemed confident that he could climb back up. He must have his sources and ways.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-grave_51279072252189725 for visiting.
Xiong Wuyue's limited capability made her always depend on others to live well. She was like a silk flower that her father raised delicately, protected from everything.
Thus, every time she met a problem, she would always automatically think to have others solve it for her.
Now, it was still the same.
Her mind refused to accept the fact that no matter what she did, she would never be able to turn things around.
Xiong Wuyue called the old maid.
With crazed eyes, she told her to drive the car out from the front gate while she herself exited from the back gate.
The maid was too old to drive. She also did not know how.
Xiong Wuyue was so angry that she became violent again.
"Useless! So useless! Why are you still alive?!"
The aged maid became black and blue.
Finally, after venting her anger, she thought of another way.
She made the shivering old woman dress up with her clothes, hat, scarf, coat, sunglasses, a wig imitating her hairstyle and a mask. She covered the old woman with her fashionable but thick clothes.
She herself also covered up in the same fashion from head to toe, but more low-key.
She told the old woman to hide behind her huge customized UV umbrella when the reporters tried to surround her, as decoy at the front gate.
Then Xiong Wuyue took the chance to drive a low-key car the butlers had used before from the back gate.
As expected, although they thought it was strange for Xiong Wuyue to leave from the gate on foot, the reporters still flocked to the woman who was in disguise exiting the front gate.
Because the woman blocked them with an umbrella and was covered thickly, it took them a while to realize that this woman was not Xiong Wuyue, but a beaten-up old woman who was trembling and crying in silence.
The reporters were shocked.
They were not really bad people, so they rushed to help the old woman whose face and body seemed hurt all over to the hospital after knowing that Xiong Wuyue had left.
In fact, their visit was not totally fruitless.
Perhaps the old woman also felt aggrieved because Xiong Wuyue had hurt her terribly.
When the reporters tried to interview her, she had no qualms spilling out everything she knew while crying.
Thus, the story of Xiong Wuyue's manic tyranny inside the house, how everyone left, and how the old woman was the only one who stayed to take care of Xiong Wuyue yet was treated like this, it all spread out, further blackening Xiong Wuyue.
It blazed the headlines further.
After all, this was actual physical abuse and the victim was even an old woman.
The netizens, and even the people who did not like to meddle with entertainment affairs, condemned Xiong Wuyue.
To everyone, she was now synonymous to a criminal.
To think she even abused such a weak and helpless old woman!
It fanned the flames of Xiong Wuyue's scandals, which would later turn into a huge hole that would pit her to no return.
