Nowadays, everyone is used to storing things on their phones, and very few people use USB drives, let alone carry them with them.
But Xia Chu wasn't in the mood to think about these things right now. She put the clothes together with her mother's and continued changing Liu Jing's clothes.
Seeing her mother's unrecognizable face, Xia Chu was overcome with grief, and tears streamed down her face.
Even if Liu Jing treated her badly, she was still her family, her closest relative. Now she doesn't even have her closest relative anymore.
Just then, a man burst in, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "Xia Chu, you killed our mother, didn't you?"
This man is Xia Chu's older brother, Liu Jing's most beloved eldest son, who indulges in all five vices: drinking, gambling, whoring, and smoking.
He's usually nowhere to be seen, but now he's acting like he's gone mad.
Xia Chu's eyes were red, and she didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Xia Jie kicked Xia Chu.
Shen Luo was shocked, but luckily he reacted quickly and pulled Xia Jie away, causing Xia Jie's kick to miss!
"If you dare touch Chu Chu again, I'll kill you!" Shen Luo was filled with murderous intent. If he hadn't reacted quickly, Chu Chu would have been injured!
Is this how the Xia family usually treats her?! What has this woman been through?!
Xia Jie was jolted awake. He knew that Xia Chu and Shen Luo had been going through a divorce recently, and he thought that Shen Luo wouldn't care whether Xia Chu lived or died. But he didn't expect the opposite to be true!
Shen Luo cares deeply about Xia Chu!
Never mind, he wasn't here for Xia Chu anyway.
He was playing cards today when he received a call from his mother.
On the phone, the mother's tone was very serious: "Son, you must listen carefully to every word I say to you now. If anything happens to me today, be sure to take the USB drive in my pocket. After you've looked at it, you'll know that it can guarantee you a life of great wealth and honor."
Thinking of this, Xia Jie's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the clothes that Liu Jing had changed out of. He didn't even glance at the person on the bed. His indifference was so cold that it was hard to believe that the woman who had just passed away was his biological mother, the person who regarded him as her life.
Xia Chu was used to Xia Jie's scoundrel behavior and was immersed in the pain of losing her mother, so she did not suspect anything.
"Those clothes are to be burned at the funeral, so don't touch them," Xia Chu reminded her.
Xia Jie's gaze turned icy. "Is it any of your business!"
Xia Chu burst into tears and choked out, "Mom, what's the use of you loving him?"
She was genuinely heartbroken.
Qin Shuang squatted down in front of Xia Chu and hugged her, saying, "Don't cry, Chu Chu."
Xu Qingyun then looked intently in Xia Jie's direction.
I've heard that Xia Jie is a complete scoundrel, a beast, and it seems to be true.
His own mother died, but he didn't even look at her or shed a single tear. Instead, he rushed to take away the clothes that Liu Jing had changed out of.
Given Xia Jie's personality, he should be extremely disgusted by the clothes of the dead, so why would he want to take them?
That USB drive... could it hold some secret?
Just as Xu Qingyun was about to follow, she heard Qin Shuang exclaim, "Chu Chu!"
Xu Qingyun turned her head sharply and saw Xia Chu clutching her stomach in pain, curled up in a ball. Her expression hardened and she quickly ran over.
Shen Luo was also shocked and knelt down in front of her, asking anxiously, "Xia Chu! Xia Chu, what's wrong?!"
Xia Chu's face was deathly pale, and she trembled in pain: "Chen Luo, I'm in pain... my stomach hurts... the baby..."
Shen Luo's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly picked up Xia Chu and rushed outside.
Xu Qingyun and Qin Shuang were also extremely anxious. They didn't care about Xia Jie and the USB drive anymore and quickly followed Chen Luo's footsteps.
On the other side.
Xia Jie carried the pile of clothes outside and started shaking them out, his face full of disgust: "Who still uses USB drives these days?"
When the USB drive fell out, he raised an eyebrow, bent down to pick it up, and wondered what it was.
He took the USB drive back to his residence, plugged it into his computer, and found two videos on it, one labeled 1 and the other labeled 2.
Xia Jie clicked on "1", which was a video taken by Liu Jing.
"Son, if you see this video, it means that your mother is dead. You are the one thing your mother could never let go of in her life. Your mother can't abandon you."
"There's a video on this USB drive. Take it to Bai Shuze and ask him for 100 million. If he dares not give it to you, use Xia Chu to threaten him! Remember, whatever you do, don't go to Ji Yaxuan! Listen to your mother!"
Xia Jie was dumbfounded. "What kind of video can blackmail someone for 100 million? And without even involving Ji Yaxuan?"
He clicked on the second video, and after watching it, he felt like he'd been struck by lightning. His mind went completely blank, and it took him a long, long time to gasp for breath. So Xia Chu was that daughter?!
"Holy crap! This is an earth-shattering secret! Xia Chu is actually the eldest daughter of the wealthy Huo family?!"
Xia Jie's eyes were filled with greed. He immediately unplugged the USB drive, got dressed, and prepared to go find Bai Shuze.
However, once he got into the car and was about to start the engine, he suddenly stopped.
That's not right.
Xia Chu is Huo Xize's daughter.
The Huo family's troublemaker was incredibly powerful in Haicheng, spoiled to the point of being lawless.
If they had known they had twin daughters, the Huo family would definitely have been willing to pay a high price to buy them back!
Thinking of this, Xia Jie immediately changed direction and prepared to go find Huo Yan.
Meanwhile, Xu Qingyun was anxiously waiting outside the emergency room.
Ji Hanchen strode over, "Yunyun."
Xu Qingyun looked up at him, somewhat surprised, "Why are you here?"
"I was worried about you," Ji Hanchen explained, then asked, "How is Xia Chu?"
"They said it was a threatened miscarriage."
Xu Qingyun could tell that Xia Chu didn't really not want the child, otherwise she wouldn't have been so nervous on the way here.
