Chapter 92 You for your ambition
Xu Shiran's face turned deathly pale, and he didn't even dare to look at Xu Si'an.
He said in a hoarse voice, "You know what it's like to love someone."
Xu Si'an sneered: "Love?"
"Does that kind of vicious woman deserve the word 'love'? Don't insult her."
"Xu Shiran, you know perfectly well that Shen Zhiwei is a hellish abyss, yet you still plunge headlong into it. You're just courting death."
Xu Shiran opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Then, Xu Si'an heard him say, "Anyway, it's good that you're alright."
He smiled.
"I'm perfectly fine, but your mother might not be doing so well."
Xu Si'an turned to leave but was stopped by Xu Shiran: "What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning."
"Xu Shiran, why don't you go ask your mother how my father died?"
After saying that, Xu Si'an got into the car and left.
Chang Yi threw down his cigarette and walked behind Xu Shiran: "For the sake of how good you were to my brother in the past, I'm giving you some advice: don't try to protect that old woman. Otherwise, I'll kill the woman you love."
"Mom or wife, you have to choose one." He added at the end, "Just like the brakes she had cut off, bang!"
Xu Shiran's back stiffened.
Such a blatant threat...
After the two luxury cars drove away, the lawyer hurriedly left the courthouse.
"Mr. Xu, what about Beijing?"
Xu Shiran's face was cold as he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Since losing his child, he has been almost constantly smoking.
He had a DNA test done, and the child was his.
From then on, he couldn't sleep a wink every night, and even that spot felt faintly painful.
"Go with her and try your best to save her. If you can't, at least try to get the lightest possible sentence."
"Yes, Mr. Xu."
This might be the last thing he could do for her.
Consider it his final act of protection for her and compensation to the child.
In fact, he had long understood that Shen Zhiwei did not love him.
She has always loved herself.
Police officers also arrived at the Xu family's old villa at the same time as Xu Shiran.
When the police entered with an arrest warrant, Fang Yiqiu panicked and ran upstairs to hide.
"What happened? Where is Madam?"
The butler quietly approached Xu Shiran and said, "The police officers just arrived and Madam went upstairs. Mr. Xu, what should we do now?"
Xu Shiran negotiated for a moment, then went upstairs to knock on Fang Yiqiu's door.
"Mom, it's me."
The door remained closed, but voices could be heard.
"Son, son, please save your mother! I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything."
Xu Shiran sighed.
"Mom, do you know what the consequences will be if you resist arrest once the arrest warrant is issued?"
"The law will determine the truth of the matter."
“If you are innocent, no one can do anything to you. I will hire the best lawyer.”
Xu Shiran knocked on the door and stood there for a long time.
"Mom, if you continue to be so stubborn, I can't save you anymore."
Xu Shiran lost all patience and asked the housekeeper to contact a locksmith.
A furious roar came from inside the bedroom: "Xu Shiran, I am your mother."
"It's precisely because you're my mother that I would meddle in other people's business."
Xu Shiran turned to the butler and said coldly, "Hurry up and go."
Half an hour later, the bedroom door was pried open.
The moment Fang Yiqiu was handcuffed, she screamed like a madwoman: "Son, son, Mom was wrong, please save Mom!"
Xu Shiran sighed: "I'll have a lawyer go."
"Xu Shiran, you unfilial son! I am your own mother. Who am I doing this for?"
As Fang Yiqiu was being led downstairs, Xu Shiran said, "You did it for yourself, for the Xu family's money, and for the position of Mrs. Xu."
"You're just using me as an excuse for your ambitions."
"I will hire the best lawyer to represent you in court, Mom. I was also raised by Dad."
The police thanked Xu Shiran, who then said that his lawyer would arrive shortly.
Fang Yiqiu struggled frantically, shouting, "Xu Shiran, you unfilial son, you bastard! I'm your mother! Without me, where would you be the eldest son of the Xu family, where would you be the CEO?"
“Xu Shiran…”
"Son, Mom doesn't want to go to jail, Mom doesn't want to..."
As the police cars drove away, the world fell silent.
Xu Shiran waved for the servants to leave, then dragged his heavy steps back to his room.
The family photo on the bedside table now seemed much warmer.
He sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the photo, and ran his fingers over the four people in it.
"Dad, I'm sorry."
"I never knew my mom would..."
He only thought that Fang Yiqiu had changed her will, but he never expected that she had been taking the medication for seven or eight years.
Xu Zhixin was so good to him, what did he do in return...?
Xu Shiran clutched the photo to his heart, his lonely figure trembling.
Meanwhile, Xu Si'an and the others returned to the villa, where Aunt Wang had already prepared a large table of food.
Qiao Xu asked her mother to take the judgment back to her hometown in a few days and burn it for her father.
"Xiao Yi, Xu Xu and I have discussed it. The end of the year is the anniversary of Lao Qiao's death, and we want to take you back to our hometown to see him. Would you like to?"
Chang Yi froze for a few seconds, then stammered, "Me... take me there?"
"Godmother, is it appropriate for me to go? I..."
Mrs. Qiao held his hand: "It's appropriate. What's inappropriate about it? If you call me godmother, you have to call Lao Qiao godfather. As long as you're willing, then it's appropriate."
The young man in his early twenties, with red eyes, said, "I'm willing, of course I'm willing, I just don't know if my godfather will think I'm ugly."
Qiao's mother glared at him and said, "Nonsense! Our Xiao Yi is so handsome, even with a scar, he's still handsome, isn't he, Mengmeng?"
Ye Mengmeng, who was eating, was suddenly called upon and nodded with her ears turning red.
Qiao Xu watched the two players, whose ears had turned red during the competition, and smiled with her lips pursed.
After finishing their meal, Qiao Xu briefly explained her plans for opening the shop to Ye Mengmeng.
The little girl's eyes lit up, but she hesitated: "Sister Qiao, but it's not easy to get a high-quality deep-sea clam, and our town is several hundred kilometers away from here."
Qiao Xu reassured her, "You don't need to worry about any of that. Just focus on your handicrafts. As for the supply, Mr. Xu..."
Qiao Xu tilted her head and glanced at the man beside her. Xu Si'an nodded: "Wife, I understand."
Xu Si'an received a call from the police station saying that Fang Yiqiu was unwilling to cooperate with the investigation and wanted to see him.
"Honey, I'm going to the police station."
Qiao Xu stood up reflexively: "I'll go with you."
“Mengmeng, if you want to go to the store, let Ayi take you there, and you can think about how to decorate it while you’re at it.”
When they went out, the two of them didn't bring a driver. Qiao Xu drove her black Wuling minivan, while Xu Si'an sat in the passenger seat, his head almost hitting the roof.
"Honey, I have a bunch of luxury cars in my garage."
Qiao Xu started the car: "I don't know how to enjoy life, okay? Besides, my car is pretty good, it's agile."
"Little ones, just keep reading. Ayi and Mengmeng each have their own official partners, they're not a couple. Ayi's official partner is a little crybaby, she'll appear."
