Qi Zhao did indeed go on a business trip, but he didn't know that he had actually been sent away by someone arranged by Qi Yasheng.
There was no other way; Qi Zhao, that idiot, was like a door god, completely loyal to Xia Tianxiu. Without getting rid of him, it was really difficult to make a move.
Seeing her younger brother and Su Ruyi lead a strange old woman past, Qi Yaqin immediately understood—it was all done!
Qi Yasheng introduced her to the matchmaker: "This is my sister, and also the biological mother of the girl you're going to sell! The person you're identifying is in the courtyard; you'll see her when you go in!"
The matchmaker nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, I know—I'll definitely look closely!"
Qi Yaqin unlocked the lock on the courtyard.
Several people filed in.
Summer Xiu, who had just brought out a ladder, froze when she saw everyone, especially the matchmaker.
The ladder they were carrying also fell to the ground instantly.
The matchmaker's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Tianxiu, and she pointed at her, shouting, "It's her! It's her! It's definitely her!!!"
Xia Tianxiu's face turned extremely pale, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Qi Yasheng, standing to the side, asked again to confirm: "Is this the person who gave you 300 yuan to marry Zhang Ruyi off to Inner Mongolia?"
The matchmaker nodded hurriedly: "Yes! It's her! I, this old woman, never mistake one person for another, it's this girl!"
The matchmaker was secretly delighted—Xia Tianxiu had actually given her 400 yuan! This person had given her at least 100, so wouldn't that 100 yuan end up in her pocket?
Besides, she didn't even do anything related to human trafficking; she made a clean profit!
Qi Yasheng turned to the matchmaker and said, "Alright. Aunt Wang, you can go back now. Let's leave it at that. I don't want to hear you mention this from anyone else, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I definitely won't say a word. I would rather die than utter a single word." With that, the matchmaker slipped away as fast as she could.
At this moment, Qi Yaqin looked at Xia Tianxiu with eyes blazing with anger.
She walked over, grabbed Xia Tianxiu by the collar with both hands, and lifted her off the ground:
Why did you lie to me?
Why are you treating me like a fool?
Why are you so vicious?
You actually want to sell my own daughter to Inner Mongolia, which is more than 1,000 miles away?
Who exactly are you?
No! You're not human, you're a devil!
Qi Yasheng added from the side, "Even the devil would be humbled."
Su Ruyi: "Indeed."
Xia Tianxiu's mind went blank when she realized that the whole thing had been exposed. Her gaze passed through the group and landed on Su Ruyi behind them.
Su Ruyi looked at her expressionlessly, but Xia Tianxiu sensed that Su Ruyi seemed to have smiled slightly.
Xia Tianxiu's heart skipped a beat.
Since arriving in Beijing, that feeling of unease had struck her precisely once again.
She was always worried—would Su Ruyi have also experienced the same thing as her?
They also received enlightenment from their previous life!
Otherwise, why?
What can explain this?
Why is Su Ruyi so successful in this life?
She came to Beijing in the summer to rely on the Qi family's connections, so why is Su Ruyi here too?
What makes Su Ruyi so special?
Moreover, whether Su Ruyi did it intentionally or unintentionally, she was going against her!
Why would Su Ruyi appear on such a special occasion?
But right now, what she needs to worry about isn't that, but how to get through this.
Thinking of this, Xia Tianxiu blinked, and large tears welled up in her eyes: "Mom, what are you saying? I don't understand. Who was that person just now? I've never seen her before."
Seeing her feign ignorance, Qi Yaqin became even more enraged: "How can there be such a wicked person as you in this world? What exactly is your relationship with my nanny from back then? Are you her daughter? After all these years, you still want to stab me in the back!"
As Xia Tianxiu was being held by Qi Yaqin, she gradually found it difficult to breathe, and she was completely unable to answer the questions in front of her.
So she tried desperately to pry Qi Yaqin's hands off.
But those hands were like iron hoops, tightening their grip on her neck.
Finally, Xia Tianxiu rolled her eyes and fainted.
Seeing that someone was about to die, Qi Yasheng quickly pried and pulled her sister's hand off Xia Tianxiu's neck.
Xia Tianxiu had fainted, and Qi Yasheng helped her lie down on the ground.
Qi Yasheng, however, did not indulge her at all.
He rushed into the house, grabbed a glass of water, and splashed it on her face.
Summer Xiu woke up immediately.
She discovered that her face, hair, and the front of her clothes were all wet.
Looking at Qi Yaqin, who was still holding the water cup, she decided to continue playing dumb, so she cried, "What happened, Mom? Even if you want me to die, can't you let me die knowing why?"
Qi Yaqin said coldly, "What else do you have to say for yourself? You colluded with that matchmaker to marry my real daughter off to Inner Mongolia. This has been exposed! What else do you have to say for yourself?"
Xia Tianxiu lowered her head, her eyes darting around rapidly. After a long while, she raised her head and said, "Mom, I really don't know the person from earlier. Mom, why am I not your daughter anymore? Who told you I'm not your daughter anymore?"
Qi Yaqin, being rather dim-witted, blurted out, pointing at Su Ruyi, "It's her! It's Doctor Su! Your grandfather appeared to her in a dream, saying that our real daughter isn't you, that you're a liar! You think you can deny the truth about the dream?"
"A dream?" Xia Tianxiu slowly stood up, pointing at Su Ruyi suspiciously. "How could Grandpa appear in a dream to an outsider? If Grandpa really did appear in a dream, why didn't he appear in your dream, Mom? Why didn't he appear in your dream, Uncle? Why didn't he appear in your dream, Uncle? Mom, don't you think this is absurd?"
Qi Yaqin's gaze became unfocused after hearing what she said, and she turned to look at Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi looked at her expressionlessly: "Caught red-handed, there's nothing more to say, right?"
Xia Tianxiu glanced at Su Ruyi, then at Qi Yasheng, and suddenly gave a bitter smile:
“I know you all hate me, you all despise me! I’m unsophisticated, I’ve embarrassed you all! I’m also stubborn, I was only thinking about getting justice for my grandfather! That made my mother resentful! This uncle of mine…”
She pointed at Qi Yasheng, "She's never liked me. And this Dr. Su, she's my sworn enemy. Mom, can't you see? These two are working together to set me up. I don't even know that old lady from earlier! And I have no intention of marrying your biological daughter off anywhere! Where she marries is none of my business!"
Listening to Xia Tianxiu's nonsensical ramblings, Qi Yaqin became even more confused.
