Chapter 37: He Pampers Her and Gives Her All of His Love
Proofreader: Zhou Zhijie
“Dad, what are you talking about?! You want me to win people’s forgiveness by playing the fool?!” Xia Wanyan is far from the image of a fair lady now, instead she is shouting just like a shrew.
With his eyebrows knitted, Xia Zhiguo sighs, “I know that you’d been wronged, but you know, Youyou is dead. In this case, I need time to find a substitute for you. But the fact is that the shares of our Group are falling dramatically because of your scandal video and those topics triggered by it still remain in the headlines. It’s time to stop these all, do you understand?”
“Youyou and I don’t have anything in common in appearance! Even if she’s alive, she couldn’t be my substitute, could she?” Xia Wanyan utters a cold laughter.
“No, you’re wrong. I have seen the picture of that child. Her side face and some of her momentary expressions just look like yours at some point. All the problems could be solved easily as long as we can prove that you two are biological sisters. Well… What a pity!”
Hearing this, Xia Wanyan finds it even funnier. “Oh, dad, will you believe me if I tell you that Mu Ziyou is not dead, and the whole event about the video is schemed by Qiaosheng to frame me up?”
“What? Is it true?!”
Xia Zhiguo is showered by excitement the second he hears that Mu Ziyou is still alive. The next second, however, he almost gets choked by his own breath on hearing Qiaosheng’s scheme!
“Well, it’s a long story. In short, Qiaosheng was mad at me when he found out that I framed Mu Ziyou up for all those deeds. He did so just to retaliate against me. Actually you can get anyone but Mu Ziyou to be my substitute, or the relationship between Qiaosheng and me will really be over!”
“So you mean, he made you enter the hotel with so many men?” Xia Zhiguo still can’t believe what he has heard.
Xia Wanyan takes a deep breath and nods with a grave face.
“And you—”
“Dad, I feel that Qiaosheng has changed! He used to hate Mu Ziyou, but now, I become the one…” Xia Wanyan’s eyes are filled up with tears instantly — she does feel sorry for herself. “Particularly, Mu Ziyou is still alive, which means they are still legal husband and wife. So dad, you can’t do that. Qiaosheng darling is mine. I can never let Mu Ziyou appear before the public, otherwise, what can I do to keep him?”
“Well, then, we can only deal with it in the way I suggested. Listen, under the pressure of the public opinion triggered by that event, you end up with psychosis. Then I can get enough time to find a suitable substitute for you. Maybe, this event could also play down gradually.” Xia Zhiguo says with graveness.
Knowing that Mu Ziyou is still alive, to be honest, he feels some subtle changes have taken place in his state of mind.
Before this, thanks to the identity of his only daughter, he pampers her and gives her all of his love. But now, he knows that Mu Ziyou is also his blood, who has lost her mother. Considering Wanyan’s notorious reputation, comparatively speaking, Youyou becomes more lovable.
Xia Wanyan is stunned by her father’s words. “But dad, if I went mad, it would be more impossible for Qiaosheng and me to be together!?”
“Listen, Wanyan, since Mu Ziyou is still alive, you can’t be with Qiaosheng anyway once the reporters spot her, unless Qiaosheng is willing to divorce Mu Ziyou publicly. Since he can be so hardhearted to you, I don’t think…” Xia Zhiguo doesn’t finish it.
Xia Wanyan, however, breaks into laughter with her seemingly insane expression. “Well, I see. Dad, ha ha, do you think I’m of no use now? Mu Ziyou has become your new favorite, hasn’t she? Once the lost daughter is regained, I, the one growing up with you, becomes worthless immediately. Am I right?! Ha ha ha…”
“Calm down, Wanyan. Unless you can ask Qiaosheng to admit that he’s schemed all these, there is no other way out at this moment! Don’t you know my Group is about to go bankrupt due to your scandal?! Can you be more sensible?!” Xia Zhiguo shows a little impatience unconsciously.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ha ha. I am not sensible? Yeah! Finally! You find it out! Dad, go to love Mu Ziyou! I’m of no use to you. Then I’d better die to make it up for you!” With these resentful words, Xia Wanyan turns and runs out of the house.
