Chapter 417: Suspicion
A moment later, the Chu family's uncle Chu Ciwen and his wife Guan Liu hurried to the teahouse.
They didn't know what had happened, but when they heard Chu Xu's urgent tone and the old man was there, they didn't dare to delay any longer. They immediately put down what they were doing and hurried over.
When they arrived at the private room, they were still breathing heavily, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.
When they saw Mr. Chu, Chu Xu, and a girl they didn't know drinking tea, they didn't look like they were in any hurry.
At Mr. Chu's signal, they slowly sat down.
Before they could catch their breath, Old Master Chu dropped a bomb, shocking them.
Old Master Chu directly asked Chu Xu to tell Chu Ciwen and Guan Liu the whole story.
Chu Xu spoke slowly, but before he finished, he just said that Zhong Nianyao told them that Chu Yixue was a fake, Chu Ciwen and Guan Liu were already very excited and did not give him a chance to continue.
"That's impossible," Guan Liu shook his head in denial. "How could Yi Xue not be our daughter? We did a DNA test. There's no way a DNA result could be wrong."
She didn't want to believe this. Over the years, she'd been suffering psychologically almost daily because of her daughter's disappearance. Now that she'd finally found her daughter, she'd poured almost all the maternal love she'd owed her onto Chu Yixue. But now she was being told that Chu Yixue was a fake. Wasn't everything she'd done all that time a joke?
Chu Ciwen, who was standing by, pursed his lips tightly, looking at Zhong Nianyao sharply with a suspicious tone, "Ms. Zhong, according to my investigation, there seems to be a big conflict between you and Yi Xue!"
As early as when Chu Yixue returned to the Chu family, he had already investigated everything about Chu Yixue, and naturally knew about the grudge between Chu Yixue and Zhong Nianyao. Now that he heard Zhong Nianyao say that Chu Yixue was fake, he naturally had doubts.
"Yes!" Zhong Nianyao nodded and admitted it generously. But what she said next shocked everyone present again. "She and I are now at loggerheads. She and Li Jingming hired someone to kidnap and kill me. That's why I want revenge on her!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Zhong Nianyao, unable to believe what they had just heard. They could never have imagined that Chu Yixue, who seemed so weak, would do such a thing.
"Miss Zhong, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want." Chu Ciwen looked at Zhong Nianyao, his tone full of suspicion, "From the moment we appeared here until now, you have been saying bad things about Yi Xue, and now you are spreading rumors and slandering her."
"Since you said Yi Xue did something like that, then you should present the evidence. We promise not to be biased towards her."
"I think you misunderstood. I was just telling you this matter and why I targeted Chu Yixue."
Zhong Nianyao's reaction was not what everyone expected. Her expression was indifferent, and her tone was also indifferent. "As for that matter, from beginning to end, it was all linked to Li Jingming, so as for evidence, there really is none. To me, evidence is not important. As long as I'm convinced, that's enough."
After hearing these words, everyone present had different feelings.
Mr. Chu knew Zhong Nianyao's abilities, so after hearing her almost arrogant words, he didn't show any big emotions. Chu Xu, on the other hand, looked at Zhong Nianyao with admiration.
Chu Ciwen and Guan Liu were not in such a good mood. They were increasingly suspicious that Zhong Nianyao was talking nonsense here today because of the grudge she had with Chu Yixue. However, although they were suspicious, they still felt uneasy after seeing the old man's performance.
"Ms. Zhong, I don't know how you convinced my father, but I hope you won't interfere in the matter of recognizing my daughter." Chu Ciwen said in a bad tone, "This matter that ruined our family has nothing to do with you."
"Boss!" Old Master Chu, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when he heard Chu Ciwen's impolite words and warned, "Watch your tone when talking to Miss Chu."
Seeing that Mr. Chu had been defending Zhong Nianyao, Chu Ciwen was puzzled, "Father, I——"
He really didn't understand why his father would be so protective of a little girl. However, he was interrupted just as he opened his mouth. The person who interrupted him was none other than Zhong Nianyao.
"Mr. Chu, there's something I think you haven't figured out yet." Zhong Nianyao raised her eyes and looked at Chu Ciwen. "I'm a fortune teller, so I don't know how your DNA results came about, but I can be sure that Chu Yixue has no blood relationship with your Chu family."
"Originally, I didn't intend to tell you this so soon. At least I should wait until we find your real daughter. That would be the biggest blow to Chu Yixue."
"If that's the case, then why did you say it now?" Guan Liu couldn't help but retort, "You made up this story just to retaliate against Yi Xue, right?"
"Then you think I'm too incompetent." Zhong Nianyao's lips curled up into a wicked smile. "If I wanted to kill Chu Yixue, I could definitely do it silently, and you wouldn't be able to find any clues. However, death is too light a punishment for her. What I want to see more is her falling from the highest point in her life, with her head broken and bloodied, and her body shattered."
There was no chill in his tone when he spoke, and there was a smile on his face, but everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill.
They could even sense that Zhong Nian Yao was not just talking, she could really do it.
Trying hard to suppress the chill in his heart, Chu Ciwen looked at Zhong Nianyao, "Then what is your purpose in doing this now?"
"I know that."
Chu Xu, who had been standing by, finally got his chance to speak. He quickly interrupted, "Just now, you guys didn't even listen to me finish my words before you interrupted me so hastily."
"I'm telling you, Miss Zhong hadn't intended to reveal it today. However, she figured out that your biological daughter, my cousin, is seriously ill and in critical condition. We must find her as soon as possible."
