"Because she is my, Xie Bowen's, daughter!"
"Her words are my words!"
Xie Bowen said angrily, his voice loud and clear.
He broke away from the support of Xie Xihe and Xie Yi, walked back to Xie Mingzhu, stared at her without blinking, and said word by word: "Xie Mingzhu, you understand, we are not discussing with you, we are letting you choose!"
"You want to continue your marriage with Sheng Zhihuan? Fine. But from now on, I, Xie Bowen, will pretend that you, my granddaughter, have never existed!"
The old man's face was completely devoid of his usual gentleness and kindness. He was calm to the point of being almost cold. He said, "It just so happens that your father is not young anymore. It's time to re-register your household registration. I'll have someone do it in a moment."
Xie Mingzhu's whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
It was not until this moment that she realized that her grandfather really didn't want her anymore!
But without the identity of Xie Bowen's granddaughter, what else does she have? She is nothing!
How could the Sheng family want a daughter-in-law who has nothing!
This is not a choice at all, she has no choice at all!
No, she had a choice.
Since Xie Xihe said this, she naturally had to be given a choice.
Before Sheng Zhihuan and his mother stepped forward, she spoke again, "It's okay not to be a Miss Xie, but we are close relatives after all. When your niece gets married, I, your former aunt, should definitely add to your dowry."
She curled the corners of her lips slightly, and with undisguised malice, she said, "How about ten panaceas?"
Recalling something, he smiled again, "Oh right, I heard earlier that Young Master Sheng really needs the Luo family's new panacea?"
"It just so happens that I have a recipe for a new version of the panacea. I'll give it to you as a gift along with the makeup."
Xu Haiying and Sheng Zhihuan, who were about to step forward, stopped in their tracks, feeling confused for a moment.
To be honest, I'm still moved.
Although Xie's Pharmaceuticals is about to start selling the panacea, it is easy to imagine how many bigwigs in China and even internationally will try their best to buy the medicine.
With the Sheng family's ability and connections, they have no doubt that they can buy the medicine, but even if they buy it, it is not certain that it will fall into their hands.
Ten panaceas not only protect their own health and lives, but can also be used to do favors in critical moments, which is of great use.
Not to mention there's a prescription for a new panacea.
Although the new version of the panacea is far inferior to the real panacea, even if it is only one-tenth as effective, it is still quite good.
If they got the prescription, they could set up a pharmacy to specialize in making a new version of the panacea, which would definitely come in handy when the time comes!
Xie Xihe saw through their thoughts at a glance and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Well, that’s a good idea, provided they can make the medicine.
The new version of the panacea is the same as the panacea. The main active ingredient is life force, but the auxiliary ingredients are quite different.
Currently, she is the only one who can refine it.
However, Xie Xihe would not tell them these. She glanced at Xie Mingzhu and knew her choice just by looking at her lowered brows.
Not surprising at all.
He curled his lips casually and retracted his gaze, then turned to Mr. Xie and said, "Dad, let's go."
Zhou Wanrou was completely stunned.
She never dreamed that the Xie family would abandon Xie Mingzhu and disown her.
But he left her some wiggle room, forcing Sheng Zhihuan to marry her, and completely thwarted her idea of replacing him.
If she wanted to gain a foothold, she had to compete with Xie Mingzhu, and her only bargaining chip was the child in her belly...
Zhou Wanrou's heart trembled. At this moment, she finally understood Xie Xihe's plan!
She just wanted her and Xie Mingzhu to fight each other and make it difficult for both of them!
But even if she saw through her calculations, she could only follow the script she arranged. Apart from holding on to Sheng Zhihuan tightly, she had no other way out...
For the first time, Zhou Wanrou felt regretful.
She couldn't help but think that if she had known it would end up like this, she should have not provoked Xie Xihe in the first place...

Xie Xihe supported Mr. Xie and walked ahead, while Sheng Shijing lagged behind for a moment.
After the three of them left, he looked towards Xu Haiying and said, "Second sister-in-law has been married into the Sheng family for more than 20 years, right?"
Xu Haiying stared at him blankly, not understanding why he suddenly said that, but nodded anyway: "Twenty-five years."
Sheng Shijing's dark eyes were deep. "So, the Sheng family's guards are not working well, so Second Sister-in-law has to hire bodyguards from outside, and they've been hiring for several years?"
Xu Haiying's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately wanted to explain, but before she could say anything, Sheng Shijing continued, "The bodyguards around Second Sister-in-law are quite skilled, and I think their prices are not low. It seems that the living expenses given by your family are too high, so those of you who have extra money can hire bodyguards and keep women."
He turned around and said to Bai Zang who had just come over, "Go back and tell the accountant that starting from this month, the living expenses for Second Brother's family will be stopped. Just say it was my idea."
"And Young Master Sheng should resign from his position at Sheng Corporation. He's been busy with his engagement and wedding, as well as taking care of his unborn child. I don't think he has the time to take care of the company."
Bai Zang glanced at Sheng Zhihuan and the others, nodded his head in agreement, turned around and gave orders.
Xu Haiying and Sheng Zhihuan almost vomited blood, their faces livid as they said, "Uncle..."
"Why? Or is it that Second Brother also has to help take care of the two future daughters-in-law and can't go to work at the company? Fine, Bai Zang..."
Seeing Bai Zang stop, Xu Haiying's pupils shrank, and she quickly changed her words, "No, no, I mean, I mean... Uncle is right, Zhihuan is really too unreasonable, he should reflect on himself."
He stole a glance at Sheng Shijing and saw that he still had an indifferent expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and suddenly slapped Sheng Zhihuan in the face, saying angrily, "Look at what you have done. Why don't you admit your mistake to your uncle and promise that you will never do it again!"
The swelling on the right side of Sheng Zhihuan's face hadn't subsided yet, and now he was hit on the left side again. He was so angry that his eyes almost popped out and he was about to lose his temper on the spot.
But the next moment, he met Sheng Shijing's cold eyes.
The scene of being oppressed and abused by Sheng Shijing since childhood appeared in front of his eyes, as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, instantly extinguishing the anger in Sheng Zhihuan's heart.
He gritted his teeth and finally admitted his mistake: "Uncle, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again next time."
Xu Haiying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly smiled, saying cautiously, "Look, uncle, Zhihuan really knows he was wrong. I will keep a close eye on him from now on. As for what happened today...wouldn't it be better if we didn't let Dad know?"
Trying to persuade him with emotion and reason: "Dad is old and can't stand being stimulated. It would be bad if he knew about this and got angry and got hurt. Don't you think so, uncle?"
Sheng Shijing glanced at her indifferently, and finally left without saying anything.
Xu Haiying's heart sank, and he felt angry and uneasy.
