1327 I’ll Drag Qiao Xi To Death
When Xia Lan heard Xu Zhi’s words, she could not help but sneer. “I gave her life. Isn’t that enough? I’m her biological mother. How could I harm her? As long as she marries Young Master Tan, she’ll be a noble in Y Nation. She’ll be even more glorious than now. Isn’t this a good thing?”
Xu Zhi clenched his fists tightly. He looked at Xia Lan in disappointment and gritted his teeth. “Haven’t you heard of Young Master Tan’s evil deeds? If you want your daughter to marry him, you have to at least understand the other party’s character and background. You clearly know what kind of person he is, yet you still want Xi Xi to marry him. You’re clearly trying to kill her! Not only do you want to harm her, but you even want to exchange her life for money. Are you still human?”
The living room instantly fell silent. Xia Lan jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on. Her face was livid, and her ugly face was revealed. “So what? I painstakingly gave birth to her. She has lived for 20 years, which is enough. Can’t she return her life to me now? She’ll die a worthy death. After all, she’ll also enjoy the glory and wealth of the Brook family when she’s still alive. She should be satisfied!”
Xu Zhi looked at the crazy woman in front of him. It was hard to imagine that he had spent 20 years with this woman.
!!
“You came uninvited. I’ve already shown you enough respect by not chasing you out. You have no right to interfere in today’s matter!” Xia Lan said disdainfully.
“I gave birth to Qiao Xi, so she should realize her value. As my daughter, she has to be prepared to sacrifice herself at all times to fulfill my wish as a mother. So what if she dies? This is her life. She can’t blame me!”
Xu Zhi looked at Xia Lan in horror as if he had seen a ghost.
He suddenly recalled that when Xi Xi returned to the Xu family, Xia Lan had wholeheartedly protected Xu Anran and indulged her in committing crimes. Xi Xi must have felt the same as him—shock, anger, and even despair.
How did Xia Lan become like this? He vaguely remembered that she was not like this in the past. Otherwise, why would he marry her?
Xia Lan gained confidence, and the gaze she shot at Xu Zhi was filled with disdain. “Don’t think that you can stop my decision just because you’re my ex-husband. No matter what, Qiao Xi has to marry Young Master Tan. If you ruin this marriage, I’ll drag Qiao Xi down with me!”
Xu Zhi suddenly felt weak all over. He said with difficulty, “Xia Lan, have you really decided to marry your biological daughter to Young Master Tan?”
Initially, he wanted to persuade Xia Lan because they had been husband and wife for more than 20 years. However, it seemed that she was hopeless now. She could not blame him.
Xu Zhi completely gave up.
When Xia Lan heard Xu Zhi’s words, her eyes instantly widened. Why did he ask the same question as Qiao Xi? What was wrong with letting her biological daughter marry Young Master Tan?
“Xu Zhi, what are you doing? This is the Xia family’s territory. It’s absolutely impossible for you to snatch her away!” Xia Lan warned.
“I gave Qiao Xi life, so she has to listen to my orders. I’m her mother, so she should repay me. What right does she have to refuse? She—”
“Because she’s not your daughter at all!” Xu Zhi shouted at the top of his voice and interrupted Xia Lan’s words. He trembled in anger, and his expression was extremely gloomy. He almost squeezed out a sentence from his throat. “Xia Lan! Qiao Xi isn’t your biological daughter at all. What right do you have to force her to marry someone else?
“She doesn’t have the Xia family’s blood in her, nor was she raised by the Xia family. Why should she be coerced by you?”
Xu Zhi roared, and the living room suddenly fell silent. Even the sound of breathing stopped. The expressions on everyone’s faces instantly stiffened. After calming down for a few seconds, they looked at Xu Zhi in surprise.
Xia Lan’s face was pale. The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and she gritted her teeth. Then, she rushed in front of Xu Zhi as if she had gone mad. She hit and cursed, “Xu Zhi! You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up!”
Xu Zhi grabbed her wrist and looked at her coldly. “You didn’t hear me clearly, right? Then I’ll say it again. Qiao Xi isn’t your daughter or mine. She has nothing to do with us. We’ve never had children all the years we were married. Anran and Anyi were both adopted. Don’t you know that?”
They didn’t have children?
Xia Lan was instantly stunned. Her body went soft as she fell onto the chair beside her. She retorted with a trembling voice, “No, no! Qiao Xi is my daughter!”
She had clearly given birth to a daughter, but Xu Zhi said that they did not have a child. Who did she have a child with, then?
No! No! Xu Zhi must be talking nonsense. Qiao Xi had to be their daughter. Otherwise, how could she marry into the Brook family?
