Chapter 314: Chapter 314: How Did Zuzi Hook Up with the Big Shot? Drinking the Poisonous Water in One Gulp
Xi Ruzhu gritted her teeth and continued to plead:
"Dad, my college entrance exam is in two days. You’ve been practicing the violin with me for years, and only through your dedication could I prepare for the Imperial University Music College. As long as I take the exam, I can get accepted and fulfill your wish. Dad, I don’t live for myself; I’m living to not let your efforts go in vain. I’m so afraid..."
Xi Yuanshan was once again touched by her sincere and gentle words.
In a moment of bewilderment, he recalled the time before he was diagnosed with cancer, how harmonious their family life was.
He then thought of Xi Ruzhu’s tender care over the past couple of days, and for a moment, he felt reluctant, a faint sense of protectiveness rising in his heart.
How did it come to this?
He gritted his teeth, looked up at the cold and isolated man on the leather chair, and said, "Why? Why are you forcing us like this? Could it be that you are... Gu Qiusha’s admirer?"
Xi Ruzhu saw Bao Gucheng’s expression change.
She wanted to stop Xi Yuanshan’s suicidal guess, but it was too late.
The man seated at the top said coldly, "Slap him."
Wei Yang stepped forward, fists clenched with a crisp sound. His fist hadn’t yet hit Xi Yuanshan’s face, but Xi Yuanshan already felt his whole body ache: "No, no, I, I’ve already divorced Gu Qiusha, we have nothing to do with each other, don’t hit me..."
Wei Yang snorted coldly, "You owe Miss Gu, her brother has already taught you a lesson. Now our master here is settling another score with you."
The words fell.
Wei Yang swung his fists left and right, delivering ten resounding slaps to Xi Yuanshan as a greeting gift!
Xi Yuanshan’s face immediately swelled up, his speech slurred, his eyes full of terror: "No, it’s not Gu Qiusha, could it be Xi Zuzi..."
He belatedly looked at the inscrutable man on the leather chair.
How did Xi Zuzi get involved with such a high-status and powerful man?
If one were to say Gu Qiusha might have one or two old flings from the capital, how did Xi Zuzi, a rebellious daughter raised for eighteen years in the countryside, hook up with such a big shot?
Xi Yuanshan’s emotions were extremely complex, filled with fear at one moment, and at another, he thought if he didn’t die, he might even become this big shot’s... father-in-law?
"I, I’ve always cherished Zuzi, going through great difficulties to bring her back from the countryside, treating her equally to my other daughters. I can’t die, if I die, Zuzi won’t have a father anymore." Xi Yuanshan found a lifeline for himself.
Seeing Xi Yuanshan’s hundred-and-eighty-degree change of attitude, speaking constantly of his dear daughter Xi Zuzi, Xi Ruzhu’s heart twisted even deeper.
Tears welled up and rolled down from her eyes as she said, "Dad, do you not want me as your daughter, and the eighteen years of cultivation you’ve given me..."
The tearful voice made Bao Gucheng extremely disgusted and displeased: "Stop babbling, make a decision quickly."
Xi Yuanshan immediately became nervous.
He quickly climbed up from the ground, staggered towards the table, grabbed the small cup of "Poison Liquid," and walked towards Xi Ruzhu: "Zhuzhu, just consider it filial piety. Dad hasn’t raised you for eighteen years in vain."
At this moment.
Xi Ruzhu could not describe the taste in her heart.
She only knew that if Gu Qiusha encountered the same situation, she would definitely stand up without hesitation to protect herself.
Gu Qiusha was the type of mother who would rather die herself to protect her children.
Unfortunately, she was no longer worthy of Gu Qiusha’s motherly love!
Xi Ruzhu closed her eyes, let out a bitter laugh: "Fine... give me that cup of Poisonous Water! I’m willing to let Dad live!"
She proactively took the cup and drank it down in one go.
Wei Yang found it quite strange, this little girl was generous enough to give Xi Yuanshan the chance to live?
How was such a generous person capable of framing Xi Rubao and forcing him to jump off a building back then?
