Chapter 42 The Ultimate Scumbag

But after asking the question, Shang Zexi regretted it!

He had also read Xia Yue's information.

She knew that Cui Hao was Xia Yue's ex-fiancé and that they had dated for a long time.

The reason you're here today is because you still have feelings for Cui Hao, and that's why you've come to see him off on his final journey.

The boss is currently very interested in Xia Yue, so asking this kind of question is just adding to his frustration.

That's it, when we get back, the boss definitely won't let him off the hook.

Even through the earphones, Shang Zexi could almost feel the sound of someone rubbing their hands together in anticipation on the other end of the monitor.

What Shang Zexi didn't expect was...

Xia Yue glanced at the mourning hall, then calmly said, "I've come to see if he's really dead."

Upon hearing this, Shang Zexi was overjoyed!

He could even hear someone on the other end of the earpiece breathe a sigh of relief.

Shang Zexi breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, he heard an instruction from the other end of the phone: "Go somewhere else."

Shang Zexi immediately made his escape!

Xia Yue looked at "Young Master Qin's" slightly flustered back and looked puzzled.

It's quite unusual that the rumored young master Qin, who came to attend the Cui family's funeral, wasn't treated like a VIP and surrounded by them.

More importantly, Young Master Qin also eats sunflower seeds, and his nickname is Axi.

This really doesn't fit his persona as a noble, aloof, and neurotic domineering CEO.

"Girl, what are you thinking about? Why are you so distracted?" Shen Xiangxiang came over to ask when Xia Yue hadn't returned for a long time.

Xia Yue cracked open a sunflower seed and said slowly, "It's nothing, I just feel that today's funeral is a bit strange."

"Oh well, never mind that. Let's get down to business. Let's sound out the Cui family and tell them to go after Liu Meilan, not the Xia family." Shen Xiangxiang pulled Xia Yue away to focus on their business.

Xia Yue returned to the vicinity of the mourning hall.

At this moment, two guests of special status arrived at the Cui family.

She is Anya, the mistress kept by the Cui family head outside. Although she has never entered the inner chambers of the house, she often accompanies the Cui family head to various banquets.

And the son of the mistress, Cui Han, the second young master of the Cui family.

After the two finished offering incense, they started causing trouble.

Cui Han said directly to the head of the Cui family, "Dad, don't worry. Although my brother is gone, I will take good care of you and manage the Cui family well."

Anya also said, "Darling, I don't ask for a title, I just ask you to give Ahan a chance."

"You vixen, my son's body is barely cold, and you're already here demanding this and that. Your ambitions are truly enormous," Madam Cui retorted without hesitation.

The onlookers immediately gathered around to watch the spectacle.

The head of the Cui family has always favored his mistress and illegitimate child, and since his legal wife has already lost her son, he doesn't want to waste any more words.

Therefore, following the previously established plan, the head of the Cui family spoke directly.

"Since all our relatives and friends are here today, I'll make an announcement: Ah Han will be the successor of the Cui Group from now on. Please give him your support."

"Cui Ren! Your son hasn't even passed the seventh day after his death! The murderer who killed him hasn't been caught yet, and you're already paving the way for this bastard at his funeral? Are you even human?" Madam Cui was truly enraged.

The purpose of today's event is to lure these two people out.

Because the other party kept hiding, she couldn't catch them.

Unexpectedly, her husband's actions completely broke her heart.

But the head of the Cui family didn't care about this nominal wife at all, and coldly retorted, "The Cui family is ruled by me. If you still want to live a good life, you'd better behave yourself."

The mistress, Anya, said smugly, "Sister, I understand that you lost your son, but you can't take it all out on Darling."

"Shut up!" Madam Cui roared furiously, her face contorted with rage.

At this moment, even Xia Yue, who was just watching the show, felt sympathy for Madam Cui.

The head of the Cui family added fuel to the fire, saying, "Everyone, eat and drink well today, consider it a celebration that my youngest son has become the heir of the Cui family."

"Cui Ren! You've gone too far!" Madam Cui reached out to slap the head of the Cui family.

As a result, he was slapped back by the head of the Cui family!

He fell headfirst to the ground.

Xia Yue reacted quickly and caught Madam Cui, thus preventing her from hitting her head on the ground.

"It's you?" Patriarch Cui looked at Xia Yue, his expression somewhat surprised.

Then he suddenly remembered something and said directly, "Miss Xia, if I remember correctly, your Xia Group colluded with a shell company to cheat the Cui family out of 500 million yuan. Now you must repay it immediately!"

Xia Yue never expected that the Cui family head would still think of debts at a time like this.

No wonder he's the father of a scumbag; he's the ultimate scumbag.

Xia Yue immediately turned the tables, coldly saying, "Patriarch Cui, that 500 million was a contract you signed with Liu Meilan. Now that Liu Meilan has run away, I strongly suspect that your Cui family and Liu Meilan colluded to swindle my Xia family out of 500 million!"

"You brat! You're talking nonsense!" The head of the Cui family never allowed anyone to embarrass him.

He raised his hand, ready to slap Xia Yue.

However, before he could even make a move, Xia Yue kicked him back!

"Bang!"

The head of the Cui family was kicked in the face, leaving a footprint.

"I was acting in self-defense," Xia Yue said casually.

The head of the Cui family was furious. "Security, arrest this bitch!"

"I'm in charge here! Let's see who dares to touch me!" Madam Cui roared angrily.

They've had enough of the act.

She had endured to the extreme; it was time to bring everything to a close.

So, in front of everyone, Mrs. Cui suddenly took out her phone and played a recording!

"Are you the nurse in charge of taking care of Cui Hao? I'll give you three million to replace the IV drips he's receiving with tap water."
