Chapter 97 The Third Brother Breaks Through the Great Defenses, It's Okay to Take the Blame

“Xia Yuhuan, let’s talk,” Li Rouyue said, staring at Xia Yuhuan.

"I have nothing to talk to you about. I'm going home. Get out of my way," Xia Yuhuan said coldly.

The reason she told Li Rouyue about Xia Jianyong's affair beforehand was to keep Xia Jianyong occupied and prevent him from having time to cause her trouble.

However, Li Rouyue's fighting ability was too poor, and she did not cause Xia Jianyong any trouble at all. Instead, he turned around and bit her, spreading rumors about her.

If she hadn't returned early today, seized the opportunity to break the deadlock, and exposed Xia Jianyong's affair, putting him in a difficult position, she would have been the one who suffered.

"How much do you know about that Du Wanying?" Li Rouyue persisted, pressing for more information.

Xia Yuhuan pouted: "I don't know anything. If you want to know, go and look it up yourself. What's the point of chasing after me?"

Li Rouyue grabbed her, her face contorted with agitation: "You're lying. If you know that woman's name is Du Wanying, you must know even more."

"Don't you want me to fall out with Xia Jianyong? Tell me everything you know. Telling me will only benefit you, not harm you."

Xia Yuhuan frowned and shook off her hand because it hurt from being pulled so hard.

"Calm down," Xia Yuhuan said coldly. "Li Rouyue, do you want to look in the mirror and see what you look like now?"

Li Rouyue was stunned upon hearing this: "What do I look like now?"

She subconsciously reached out and touched her face.

Xia Yuhuan said coldly and ruthlessly, "You look like a crazy woman right now! Not to mention that Xia Jianyong has been looking at your face for decades, even strangers would avoid you."

Upon hearing this, Li Rouyue's pupils constricted, and she staggered back two steps, her eyes filled with shock.

Over the years, she has been able to win Xia Jianyong's heart not only because she understands him and knows how to please him, but also because she has always maintained her face well.

But now, Xia Yuhuan actually said she was like a crazy woman!

How could Li Rouyue accept this?

Seeing that Li Rouyue had calmed down, Xia Yuhuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That's right, you have to stay calm when things happen, otherwise how can you compete with a newcomer?"

Li Rouyue pursed her lips and remained silent upon hearing this.

"Although I don't know who Du Wanying is or where she lives, I know why she poses a threat to you," Xia Yuhuan said with a playful smile.

"What?" Li Rouyue asked impatiently.

"Besides looking somewhat like you and having a similar temperament, she's also pregnant with Xia Jianyong's child," Xia Yuhuan dropped the bombshell with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Li Rouyue's pupils contracted, and she instinctively exclaimed in a shrill voice, "Impossible! Old Xia couldn't possibly have another woman pregnant with his child, he..."

Seeing the ambiguous smile on Xia Yuhuan's face, Li Rouyue couldn't continue speaking.

Xia Yuhuan said coldly, "If he can sleep with other women, why can't he get another woman pregnant with his child?"

"Besides, every man wants a son. You haven't given him a son all these years, so why wouldn't he want one? He endured it for so long before cheating on you, so he must have been quite devoted to you."

Xia Yuhuan's words struck Li Rouyue like a heavy hammer, instantly draining all color from her face.

Li Rouyue knew in her heart that Xia Yuhuan was right.

No man doesn't want a son to carry on the family line, and Xia Jianyong was no exception.

She married into the family after Xia Qingqing's death and became pregnant, hoping to give Xia Jianyong a son to carry on the family line and solidify her position.

Unexpectedly, she suffered a miscarriage in the later stages of her pregnancy.

The child is gone; it was a boy.

At the time, Xia Jianyong felt sorry for her and comforted her, saying it was okay and they would have children after she recovered.

She panicked when the doctor told her that her body was damaged by the miscarriage and that it might be difficult for her to have children in the future.

At the time, she didn't even dare to tell Xia Jianyong the news.

She tried every means to keep it a secret for a long time before slowly revealing the news. She also tried her best to coax Xia Jianyong into believing that even without a son, having a daughter like Xia Zhuyu, if properly raised, would be just as good as having a son.

Just then, Xia Jianyong was at the peak of his career, so he let the matter drop.

As Xia Jianyong grew older, he gave up the idea of ​​having a son.

Unexpectedly, he has now had a child with another woman!

Seeing her pale face, Xia Yuhuan said, "Anyway, I've told you about this. How you want to handle it is your business."

"But you'd better think it through calmly and figure out how you're going to handle this. If you dare to drag me into this again and get Xia Jianyong to cause me trouble, I can't guarantee what I might do."

"Putting everything else aside, at least I can still reach your daughter who lives far away in the Northwest, don't you think?"

Li Rouyue looked at Xia Yuhuan's ambiguous smile and listened to her threatening words, her face turning even paler.

"If you have a problem, come at me. Don't lay a hand on my daughter," Li Rouyue growled, her defenses crumbling.

Xia Yuhuan exclaimed, "You call her so affectionately, anyone who doesn't know better would think Xia Zhuyu is your own daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Li Rouyue almost blurted out, "She is..."

Before she could finish speaking, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her backward.

Li Rouyue stumbled and barely managed to steady herself by grabbing the other person's hand, only to realize that it was Xia Jianyong who had pulled her up.

"What are you saying to her? Didn't I tell you to stay away from her?" Xia Jianyong's cold gaze fell on Li Rouyue.

Li Rouyue never expected that Xia Jianyong would see her standing and talking with Xia Yuhuan.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "I just happened to run into her on my way back, and she stopped me and said a few words to me. Don't worry, I didn't suffer any loss."

Xia Yuhuan rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

She's really good at twisting the truth.

She was the one who stopped him, but now she's claiming that he stopped her. How shameless!

Xia Yuhuan felt disgusted with Li Rouyue, but she didn't expose her.

After all, Li Rouyue's willingness to pretend meant she was willing to deal with Xia Jianyong, so she would definitely investigate Du Wanying's affairs, which would bring trouble to Xia Jianyong, something Xia Yuhuan was more than happy to see.

Let's just take the blame for this; there's no harm in it anyway.

"It's good that you didn't suffer any losses." Xia Jianyong breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her arm: "You go back first, I have a few words to say to her."

Upon hearing this, Li Rouyue obediently replied with an "okay," and then turned and left.

Xia Jianyong watched her leave until her figure completely disappeared before turning to Xia Yuhuan.

"Xia Yuhuan, what exactly do you want to do? Are you only happy when you've ruined my family?" Xia Jianyong said angrily.

Xia Yuhuan pouted: "I didn't do anything. I just happened to run into your wife and exchanged a few words with her. What, is your wife so precious that you can't even talk to other people?"

Xia Jianyong snorted, "You've been at odds with her ever since you came back. Besides trying to sow discord, what can you possibly have to say to her?"

"Whatever, think what you want." Xia Yuhuan said indifferently, walking past him to leave.

However, Xia Jianyong's words froze her in place.
