Mrs. Yao's words made Xia Zilu freeze.
She's been exposed?
But how could that be?
She hid it very well; even Zeng Lanni didn't know her purpose and thought she was just helping her.
Mrs. Yao suddenly asked, "Is the child sleeping in the room?"
Xia Zilu snapped out of her daze and subconsciously said, "Yes..."
Mrs. Yao immediately walked towards the room.
Xia Zilu sensed something was wrong and quickly followed.
Mrs. Yao instructed her bodyguards, "Stop her and don't let her come any closer."
"Yes, madam."
It would be incredibly easy for two bodyguards to stop a woman.
Xia Zilu's expression changed drastically after being stopped: "What are you doing? This is my home, you can't touch my child!"
Soon, Mrs. Yao came out carrying the child, coldly looking at Xia Zilu: "I used to let you raise your child because you were sensible, but now you are no longer worthy to raise the Yao family's child. If you obey me, this villa is still yours; otherwise, I will make sure you can't stay in Xizhou City!"
So what if Xia Zilu knows the eldest daughter of the Zeng family?
The Zeng family isn't under Zeng Lanni's control.
Mrs. Yao shattered Xia Zilu's beautiful dream with just a few words.
Xia Zilu's fears came true. She struggled to rush forward, but the bodyguard held her down firmly. She shouted angrily, "No, you can't take my child away! I'm going to tell Brother Yao! You vicious old woman, give me back my son!"
Is she a vicious old woman?
Mrs. Yao snorted coldly: "Hmph, this is what Old Yao wants! You think I came willingly? It's because Old Yao is so old that he knelt in front of me and begged me to take this child back. I only came because I felt sorry for him."
She had a miscarriage when she was young, which damaged her health and made it impossible for her to conceive again. As a result, she turned a blind eye to Lao Yao's affairs with other women. But over the years, only Xia Zilu has given birth to a son.
Before leaving, Mrs. Yao suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, your brother Yao won't be coming anymore. You're still young and can still have children. Go find another family and have a son. Maybe that will make you the one who takes over!"
"Impossible, impossible..."
Xia Zilu swayed, looking deeply shocked.
As the other person walked out of the villa, she shouted threats: "It must be you, you barren old hen, trying to steal my son and keep him for yourself! I'm calling the police, I'm suing you!"
Mrs. Yao didn't even glance at her before getting into the car with her child.
The car drove away from the villa, and Xia Zilu chased after it for dozens of meters before collapsing to the ground, covered in sweat. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
She hated Mrs. Yao for taking her son away.
She hated Shen Xinrong for pushing her into the fire.
But she hated one person even more!
If it weren't for her, Xia Zilu believed she would never have gone down this path!
Originally, when Shen Xinrong approached her, she had considered marrying into the Ji family, but before she could even meet Shen Xinrong's son, she heard that he had gone to prison. She followed Shen Xinrong to Xizhou City and stayed with the Ji family for a while, but the head of the Ji family was in the capital city, and before she could carry out her plan, she was betrayed by Shen Xinrong.
Later, she wanted to reconnect with the Ji family through Zeng Lanni, because only the Ji family could rival the Gu family of the capital and trample those who looked down on her underfoot!
To this day, she continues to strive for this goal.
But a few casual words from someone shattered her plans, as if proving the saying—in the face of overwhelming power, all conspiracies are just paper tigers.
Xia Zilu felt increasingly resentful and hateful as she thought about it. Suddenly, a metallic taste rose in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The next second, Xia Zilu's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
When Ji Mingjing heard the news, he had already left work. He stood in the elevator, his brows furrowed.
"Don't tell me all sorts of junk news."
Gu Si passed Xia Zilu to him to deal with, and Ji Mingjing was already impatient. Now, after hearing the news that "her son was taken away by Mrs. Yao and was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma," how could he be happy?
Besides, what's there for her to be angry about?
Wasn't this outcome predictable?
The man surnamed Yao is over fifty and still doesn't have a son. It's not that he doesn't want one, but none of the women he's been with have given him a son. Only Xia Zilu gave him a son, so it would be abnormal if he didn't take him back with him.
Also, it's not that he doesn't have a son that's why he hasn't divorced; it's that he and his wife have financial ties, unless he abandons the Yao Group.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Xia Zilu could never have used her son to gain power.
A woman in her early twenties, who doesn't learn anything good and only thinks about taking shortcuts, makes Ji Mingjing want to vomit just hearing about her.
Ji Mingjing snorted coldly and said, "You can handle it yourself."
Ji Kong was momentarily stunned, then replied, "Yes, Patriarch."
But how should he handle it?
Should Xia Zilu be driven out of Xizhou City?
I suspect the Yao family will do that.
After all, Xia Zilu is just a mistress with no power or influence. She definitely can't win the custody battle with the Yao family. It would be best for her to take a sum of money and move to a different city.
Of course, the premise is that they can't cause any more trouble.
Otherwise, she would have ended up like Yu Wan, spending the rest of her life in prison.
Unfortunately, Xia Zilu, upon waking, failed to hear Ji Kong's inner thoughts; she was blinded by resentment.
Xia Zilu was extremely confident. Since she couldn't get close to the Ji family, she would help Yao Dahai grow stronger and replace the Ji family's position!
However, she could no longer contact Yao Dahai.
???
The next morning.
Ji Mingjing had just arrived at his office when he received a call from Gu Yunzhen.
"I heard you were looking for me very urgently?"
