1326: You Only Have One Chance. What Do You Choose?

You Only Have One Chance. What Do You Choose?

Xu Zhi was terrified and uneasy. His hands trembled as he picked up the cup.2

Gu Zheng slowly looked up. Song Shijing immediately understood and reminded him, "President Xu, why don't you read the news online first? Maybe you'll change your mind."

Xu Zhi hesitated for a few seconds and took Song Shijing's phone in fear. He was stunned when he saw the explosive news and public opinion online.

"President Xu, you're a smart person. You should know very well what will happen to the Xia family. We can make the Xia family suffer eternal damnation. However, our young madam wants to prove her identity. If you agree, it'll be considered as our president owing you a favor. He definitely won't make things difficult for you in the future."

"Uhh…"

"President Xu, what's there to hesitate about?" Song Shijing's voice turned cold as he placed the paternity test report in front of Xu Zhi. "Look carefully. This is the paternity test report of the Medical Association. You should know how authoritative the Medical Association is. As long as you testify, the matter will naturally be settled. The Xia family won't be able to defend themselves."

"But I…" Xu Zhi was still hesitant.

"I know that you still care about your relationship with your wife as you two have been together for more than 20 years. You can't bear to see Xia Lan consigned to eternal damnation. But look at her. Is she still the same woman you have in your heart? Her name is Xia Lan now, not Xia Yunlou. Why do you have to cut off your escape route for her?"

Song Shijing continued to persuade him. "It's every man for himself. President Xu, do you want to offend our president for Xia Lan, or do you want to live a safe life from now on? You only have one chance. It all depends on your choice."

"If you insist on protecting Xia Lan, we won't force you. You'll just follow the Xia family to eternal damnation!"

Hearing Song Shijing's words, Xu Zhi could not help but tremble. He stared at his phone and saw that the internet was filled with curses. Xia Lan was shouting and cursing like a shrew. Some even scolded him for being blind. How did he marry a woman like Xia Lan back then?

Was he really going to lose everything in the Xu family for such an unbearable woman?

Although he did not like Qiao Xi, he was a normal person and had some sympathy. When he heard about all the evil things Xia Lan had done to Qiao Xi, he could not be indifferent.

…

The Xia family.

After Xu Zhi finished speaking, everyone looked at the door. When the Xia family saw Xu Zhi, their expressions changed drastically.

He took a deep breath, and Gu Zheng's words still echoed in his mind. He could not be consigned to eternal damnation with the Xia family. He had already kept this secret for Xia Lan for more than 20 years. They could be considered husband and wife, but he could not make mistakes again and again for Xia Lan.

When Xia Lan saw Xu Zhi, her body could not help but tremble. Her eyes were filled with horror. "Why are you here?"

Xu Zhi walked in front of her and questioned, "Yunlou, do you really want Xi Xi to go to Y Nation and marry into the Brook family?"

"Don't call me Yunlou. I'm called Xia Lan now! I'm her mother. Is it wrong for me to marry her off? Xu Zhi! I have nothing to do with you anymore. Don't even think about the two billion dollars! Don't even think about it!"

Xu Zhi's eyes were filled with disappointment. Xia Lan actually thought that he came to the Xia family to fight for the two billion yuan. He was not capable, but he would never betray his daughter for glory.

Xia Lan rushed over and pointed at Qiao Xi's nose as she roared furiously. "Let me tell you, no matter who comes today, you have to marry Young Master Tan!"

Qiao Xi paid no attention to her.

Xu Zhi was already unable to restrain his anger. Just as the netizens had said, was he blind back then? Why did he marry such an unbearable woman? Why did he think that Xia Lan could replace Xia Yunqiu?

At this moment, he was already unable to suppress the flames of rage in his heart. He only felt something surge out from his heart. "Xia Lan, you're not worthy to decide on Qiao Xi's marriage!"

Xia Lan did not expect that Xu Zhi would actually stand up for Qiao Xi. Her face was ferocious, and her eyes were bloodshot like an angry beast. "I'm not worthy, but are you? We're already divorced. Qiao Xi has nothing to do with you. We've already accepted the Brook family's betrothal gifts. If we don't marry Qiao Xi off, they won't let us off. Qiao Xi is my daughter. Why can't she suffer for me?"

Xu Zhi's heart was filled with desolation. He looked at the woman in front of him and felt that she was extremely unfamiliar. "Xia Lan, you're the one who accepted the betrothal gifts, so why does Xi Xi have to marry into their family? Why does she have to suffer for you? Look at all the things you've done to her."

The netizens in the live broadcast were about to explode from anger.

[Is Xia Lan crazy?! She has never treated Qiao Xi well, yet she wants Qiao Xi to sacrifice herself for her. She's just hoping to take all the benefits for herself. How can she be so shameless?! Everyone knows that marrying Tan Yu means death. She's sending her daughter to her death!]
