Chapter 199: Do You Believe Me?
She didn't know what to say, only instinctively feeling that this man was pitiful at this moment. She subconsciously reached out her hand and used the way her brother hugged her when she was hurt as a...She grew up alongside her grandfather, while Jian Mo Bai preferred to be around his parents.
My grandfather once joked and said: "I give you two small tasks, whoever can get his beloved old fountain pen from Uncle Tang, will be first. The jade Pixiu in my study will belong to that person."
Later, she won first place. When she got that jade Pi Xiu, she was over the moon. Jade Pi Xiu, she had seen many of them growing up in her family, but her grandfather's jade Pi Xiu was different from all the others. It was very translucent. Holding the jade Pi Xiu towards the sunlight, it was so transparent. Girls like sparkly things when they are young, and she was no exception.
Jian Mo Bai saw it and wanted to grab it. She didn't give it to him, and pushed Jian Mo Bai aside with a gentle shove. It wasn't much force, but it sent Jian Mo Bai tumbling to the ground.
Aunt Zhang, who was looking after Jian Mo Bai, happened to see it and got annoyed. She said to the little girl:
As expected of an unraised orphan, he has no manners and pushed the young master to the ground!
She was stunned... No parents
At that time, I immediately retorted to Aunt Zhang: “I have both parents, why do you say I don’t”
Aunt Zhang was taken aback for a moment before she curled her lips and said, “Didn’t you grow up with the old master I haven’t seen you get close to your master and mistress… It’s just that Aunt Zhang saw young master fall to the ground, and in a hurry, she spoke wrongly. Little Tong, don’t go and complain to the old master, okay Aunt Zhang spoke out of turn, I'll apologize and make amends.”
Back then, I was young and believed what Aunt Zhang said.
At this very moment, because of Xia Guanjia's words, "My daughter has a black mole on the palm of her right foot," Jian Tong felt as if there were real flames burning on her right foot, an unbearable pain.
"Just because of a mole on the sole of her foot, you've decided she's not your daughter Besides that mole, what evidence do you have to prove that Xia Wei Ming isn't your daughter"
The sole of her foot had a black mole, which wasn't enough to confirm what she was thinking... In this world, there are more than one person with a mole on their sole.
Summer Butler Zhang opened his mouth just about to speak, suddenly, a strange noise suddenly rang out.
"Who is it!" Butler Xia tensed, scanning his surroundings with caution. His cloudy eyes darted back and forth, inch by inch, over every nook and cranny. Although he didn't catch any clues, this slight sound of movement also put pressure on him.
"Things are changing too quickly! I can't say more... ! ...I won't survive, and neither will you! Also... Take Wei Ming to be buried with us!"
Summer Butler said, his eyes blazing with fury!
A spring knife, its sharp blade bearing down.
"Stop!"
Su Meng realized he could hide no longer. He never expected this old man to be so vigilant, immediately aware of any unusual movement and ready to strike without hesitation.
She kept her hand behind her back and quietly sent her location to Shen Xiujin's phone.
She hastily tossed it aside into a corner... If her grandfather saw the phone, then he would also discover the location she had sent to Shen Xiujin.
"Meng Jie" Jian Tong shouted, "You go quickly!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Meng shook her head. "Even if I leave now, I can't escape the boss's punishment."
"I'm sorry... I dragged you into this."
"Fool, I chased after myself. If I wanted to leave, I wouldn't have come."
"You are Su Meng, the one by Mr. 's side!" Xia Butler shouted: "Originally there was nothing to do with you, but because of this despicable woman, you came to die, then don't blame me for making a move!"
"Hee hee, that sounds nice, but actually it's because I heard all your dirty secrets. You want me to stay quiet so you won't be exposed, right"
Xia Guanjia's face was flushed red and white, he spat fiercely: "Anyway, you're all going down with me today, what does it matter if you hear it or not!"
"Madman! Your family's grudges, yet you involve innocent people and shamelessly say everything is their fault!"
I wouldn't believe it if you told me Xia Wei Ming wasn't your daughter!
Back then, she wanted to ruin the innocence of a child and make them suffer humiliation, but in the end, she was the one who suffered. Today, you are trying to pin the crime of murdering your own daughter onto that child... I see that you two aren't even like parent and child! You are both just selfish and heartless!
"Be quiet!"
"Why should I keep silent Is it only you who is allowed to speak and not me Is it only the officials who are allowed to start fires"
Su Meng spoke fiercely, rebuking Xia Guanjia. Jian Tong gradually calmed down… She looked thoughtfully at Su Meng, who was relentlessly provoking Xia Guanjia—Meng Jie was intentionally stalling for time!
Her gaze drifted towards the large iron gate...
……
In the car, Shen Xiujin's phone received a short message from Su Meng. He hurriedly opened it and immediately saw a location pin. His heart skipped a beat, and that bad feeling grew stronger!
It was just a location pin, nothing else... These two women were in a bad situation.
The car sped forward recklessly, just wanting to get to its destination as quickly, quickly, and even quicker!
It was an old warehouse, not too far nor too near, on the outskirts of town.
In the warehouse, Su Meng successfully provoked Xia Butler into a rage, engaging in a verbal battle, trading barbs back and forth. The sound of an emergency braking outside the warehouse was extremely loud, audible even to those inside. The screech of tires grinding against the pavement echoed through the air.
Su Meng's crimson lips slowly curled into a smile. She glanced at Xia Guanjia, then turned away with an air of composure. She walked gracefully to the corner and bent down elegantly to pick something up from the ground.
Xia, the housekeeper, fixed his gaze on him: "What did you do on your phone!"
"Don't you see What have you done Don't you already know deep down"
"You just... were stalling" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Hee hee."
Xia Guantou finally understood, after the fact. Just now, Su Meng was intentionally delaying time.
He didn't have time to say anything more to Su Mengduo. Clutching the knife in his hand, he rushed towards Jian Tong who was tied to the rickety chair, gritted his teeth and roared: "I would rather die than let you get away with this! You little wretch!"
Su Meng's face turned pale. She hadn't expected that Shen Xiujin was already outside, and Xia Butler would actually be so ruthless... He was going to die with them!
Without thinking, her actions outran her thoughts. The moment she saw Mr. Xia dash out, her feet immediately followed suit in the same direction: "Don't touch her!"
Su Meng's meticulous makeup was ruined, but she no longer cared. Her entire mind was consumed with the thought of preventing that weapon from piercing Jian Tong's body.
Her hand, with lightning speed, grabbed Summer Butler's arm holding the knife from behind: "Don't make things worse!"
“Get out of my way!” Xia Guanjia kicked Su Meng’s stomach, glaring at her as she clutched his arm with all her might. “Ugh!” Su Meng gasped in pain, her eyes widening. Her hand on Xia Guanjia's arm was a network of bulging veins.
Panting heavily... wheeze... wheeze... ... He just wouldn't let go of Steward Xia, refusing to loosen his grip.
Xia Guanshi panicked, wanting to kick Su Meng's stomach again. Jian Tong's heart raced, and in her haste, she leaned towards the direction of the broken chair leg, falling down with a "bump," taking the chair with her and landing in front of Su Meng. Xia Guanshi's two kicks landed squarely on Jian Tong's shoulders.
"Child, you..." Su Meng stared blankly, "Are you stupid"
"Dream Sister, the truly foolish one is you," Jian Tong said. "You and I were initially strangers, then I became your employee, and you my boss. Which boss would take a kick for their employee"
"Well, you two certainly are close sisters. Then I'll send you both down together, to keep each other company!" He bellowed, the blade flashing with a cold light as it ruthlessly stabbed towards Jian Tong's neck!
Despite being mentally prepared, both Jian Tong and Su Meng instinctively closed their eyes at this moment, right as the knife pierced their necks.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
Warm liquid, drop by drop, fell onto Jian Tong's face. She didn't notice the pain that should have been at her neck, and opened her eyes in bewilderment...
Next second!
"Snap!" She could have bitten her teeth to pieces in anger!
"Holding a blade... doesn't it hurt" Jian Tong stared blankly at the hand that was grasping the sharp blade with its bare palm, blood dripping onto her face.
Shen Xiujin's face was ashen, his thin lips tightly pressed together. His deep eyes stared at Jian Tong for a long time until he confirmed that the woman before him was truly safe and sound. Only then did the heart in his chest finally settle down.
Turning his head, he glared coldly at Xia Guanjia, whose face had turned as white as a sheet. Before he could even utter a word of anger, the latter's face paled even further, his lips turning gray as he stammered:
"I will avenge Wei Ming! Since Wei Ming lost her life because of her, why should she still live!" The old butler shouted in a fanatic rage, glaring hatefully at Jian Tong on the ground.
Su Meng couldn't believe it, even at this time, someone could be so shameless!
Xia Wei Ming's death was clearly not...
Before Su Meng could finish speaking, Summer the Butler roared even louder, “Sir, murder must be avenged! Wei Ming died so tragically. A white-haired person sends a black-haired person, my heart aches! Sir, you said that you would avenge Wei Ming! You promised back then, sir, do you dare forget As an old father, I can’t forget! If you can’t bring yourself to do it, then I will!”
Su Meng was completely furious. She couldn't believe it, how could there be such an unreasonable person!
Is it that the elderly become bad, or that the wicked grow old
She opened her mouth to speak the words she had just heard, but Jian Tong shook her head at her. She was puzzled, but for the time being, she chose to remain silent.
"Shen Xiujin, what if I told you that Xia Wei Ming's tragic fate was self-inflicted, and her death was..." Jian Tong suddenly looked up at Shen Xiujin.
"Be quiet!" Before she could finish her sentence, Summer Butler angrily cursed, "You have the nerve to say that!"
"Shut your mouth!" Shen Xiujin coldly looked at Summer Butler, then at Jian Tong: "You continue."
"Xia Wei Ming wasn't harmed by anyone I sent after her. She died because Xia the Butler suffocated her." Saying this, she looked up and asked Shen Xiu Jin very seriously, "Do you believe what I'm saying Do you believe that I am innocent"
Her eyes,
swept towards Shen Xiujin's blood-dripping palm...tips, never stopping for a moment... Those familiar with her could tell at a glance—her heart at this moment was not as calm and serene as it appeared on the surface."Xiao Heng, I have nothing." Jian...
