Chapter 233 Doubt
"Sever all ties!"
Xu Yirou looked at Li Guixiang with icy eyes and said, "Haven't you said more than once that you don't want to acknowledge me as your daughter? Today, I will do as you wish and sever all ties with you."
Li Guixiang's expression changed repeatedly. The reason she said that before was because Xu Yirou was just a child who couldn't survive without her.
But now, Xu Yirou has grown up and can earn money. She not only got into a university in Beijing, but also found such a capable partner.
She's not stupid; how could she possibly sever ties with Xu Yirou?
"Xu Yirou, you've grown wings and now you don't want me as your mother anymore, is that it? Don't you have any conscience? I'm your own mother who gave birth to you and raised you!"
Xu Yirou sneered, not bothering to waste words with Li Guixiang, and turned around to slap Xu Yinuo across the face again.
"Ah..." Xu Yinuo screamed in pain, caught off guard.
“Xu Yirou, you…” Li Guixiang’s eyes were bloodshot with heartache, “You beast, if I had known…”
Before she could utter a curse, Xu Yirou turned and slapped Xu Yinuo across the face again.
"Ah! It hurts so much..." Xu Yinuo cried out in pain.
The villagers of Bakeshu Village watched with smiles on their faces as Xu Yirou started hitting people.
As for what kind of family Xu Yirou's family was, they had already guessed a bit about it from Xie Manman's attitude towards Xu Yirou and the things Xie Manman said back then.
Especially now, she has heard firsthand that Li Guixiang and her group not only want to snatch Xu Yirou's college admission notice and make her give up her chance to go to university to Xu Yiqian, but they also want to take away Wu Yong'an, her boyfriend.
Is this how a mother should treat her daughter?
Xu Yirou looked at Li Guixiang with an icy expression and said, "If you curse me, I'll slap him. I have plenty of time. You can try to wear me down. I wonder how many more slaps your precious son can withstand!"
"You...you actually want to sever ties with your own mother? Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about if word gets out?" Li Guixiang panicked. Looking at Xu Yinuo's face, which had been beaten into a pig's head, she was angry, anxious, and heartbroken.
Grabbing her arm, Cai Shuhua sneered, "You don't seem to treat Yi Rou like your own daughter. Besides, didn't you just say you didn't want to acknowledge Yi Rou as your daughter? You said it so smoothly, it's obvious this isn't the first time you've said something like that!"
"Exactly! You were the one who said you wouldn't acknowledge Yi Rou as your daughter, but now that she's yours, why are you suddenly unhappy? Is it because the person you've been sucking your blood from is about to disappear?" Zhu Jinmei curled her lip, mercilessly exposing Li Guixiang's dark heart.
Tong Ximei smiled and said to Xu Yirou, "Xu Yirou, you did the right thing. It's better not to have family like that! You should cut ties with them!"
Although she is a daughter, she has lived in a happy family since childhood.
This can be seen from her name.
Many families in the village have daughters named with names like "Zhaodi" or "Pandi," and some even have terrible names like "Jiannu," "Henni," or "Zaoyao."
But she was different; her name, "Xi Mei," stood out among all the girls.
Her father loved her very much and taught her various self-defense techniques from a young age, saying that it was not easy for girls and that they should not be bullied.
Even her mother said that she suffered too much when she was a child and was fed up with the humiliation that the name "Xiangdi" brought. She didn't want her daughter to suffer the same hardships she had endured.
She, a girl from the countryside, is treated with great respect, so why is Xu Yirou, a girl from the city, treated so disrespectfully by her own family?
Thinking of this, Tong Ximei looked at Li Guixiang glaring at Xu Yirou with gritted teeth. That look was not the kind of gaze a mother should have when looking at her daughter.
At least, as a fellow daughter, Li Guixiang's gaze towards Xu Yiqian was different.
An unbelievable thought flashed through Tong Ximei's mind. Startled, she blurted out, "Xu Yirou, you're not this woman's biological daughter, are you? Otherwise, why does she treat Xu Yiqian and you so differently? This doesn't make sense!"
Tong Ximei's words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.
The villagers of Bakeshu Village chimed in, "Ximei is right. I originally thought that Xu Zhiqing's parents favored boys over girls, which is why they treated her this way. But looking at Xu Zhiqing's sister, she is clearly much more loved!"
"That's right! Look at the look in her mother's eyes when Xu Zhiqing hit her sister just now. She looked like she wanted to eat her alive. This favoritism is just too unreasonable!"
"Now that you mention it, I think Xu Zhiqing doesn't look like any of them at all! Her younger brother and sister look like their parents, but Xu Zhiqing doesn't resemble any of them."
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Li Guixiang panicked and hurriedly cried out, "Don't talk nonsense! How could Xu Yirou not be my daughter? She is my biological daughter! You are not allowed to talk nonsense..."
Not only her, but Xu Daqiang, who was standing next to her, was also terrified, his face turned ashen and his body trembling uncontrollably. Even though he kept his head down out of fear, Tong Decheng and the others who were holding him still noticed that something was wrong.
"You coward, look at this guy's face, he's obviously guilty because he was told the truth!" Tong Decheng immediately saw through his guilty look and shouted loudly.
"You...you're talking nonsense, I didn't..."
Xu Daqiang immediately spoke, his voice sharp but his tone weak.
"Stop pretending, your expression says it all!" Tong Decheng chuckled. You think you can lie to me with such a simple trick?
It should be noted that, although he was not the village secretary over the years, he had been working with Tong Liqun to handle various matters in the village.
Xu Daqiang's forced, guilty-looking act is probably worse than even that of Cai Chunhua, that old woman.
Now that even Tong Decheng and Tong Ximei could see it, how could Wu Yong'an not see it?
He hadn't spoken earlier only to let Xu Yirou vent her anger, while he observed her more closely and tried to gather more clues.
Now that the situation was confirmed, he stopped remaining silent and said directly, "At this point, you still won't tell the truth? In that case, it's better to save the trouble of calling the police. Let Chen Liguo and the others take you to the town's police station, lock you up first, and then interrogate you slowly!"
