Xia Yunlou cried out, âNo matter how muddle-headed I am, I wonât do such a thing! Sheâs my biological daughter, after all! I just thought that since she grew up in the countryside and had no one to discipline her, it wouldnât be strange if she accidentally got pregnant and got an abortion, soââ
âShut up! Youâre still talking! I donât care why you did it, but Xi Xi is our daughter. You canât do anything to harm her. Iâll send Xu Anran away now to prevent any more trouble!â
âXu Zhi!â Xia Yunlou shouted, âNo! Anran has stayed with us for so long. Where are you going to send her? If outsiders know that Anran has been chased out of the house, sheâll definitely be mocked. How can she continue living?!â
âWho asked her to go against Xi Xi time and time again? She brought this upon herself!â
Xu Zhi was furious. âDo you know how much impact the incident today could have had on Xi Xi?! If everyone had fallen for the act, what wouldâve happened then?â
Xia Yunlou panicked. âSo what? Qiao Xiâs reputation isnât good anyway. It doesnât matter even if she gets into one more scandal. Moreover, with the Xu family and President Gu around, who can say anythingââ
Smack!
Before she could finish, Xu Zhi raised his hand and slapped her.
âXia Yunlou! Let me warn you, Qiao Xi is the eldest daughter of the Xu family. Xu Anran is just an adopted daughter. If I find out that you dare to frame Xi Xi again, Iâll divorce you!â
Xia Yunlou was not to be outdone. âYou want to divorce me? If it werenât for our Xia family, would the Xu family be where they are today? Besides, Iâm Xi Xiâs mother. Would I harm her? Everything I do is for her own good!â
Xu Zhiâs face was full of ridicule. âXia Yunlou, weâve lived together for so many years. I still donât understand your thoughts. You know very well why you did all of this!â
Even if Xia Yunlou didnât like Qiao Xi, she was still her own daughter, after all. Why did she have to be ruthless to Qiao Xi every single time?
Xu Zhiâs eyes were full of disdain as he said word by word, âItâs because Xi Xi was raised by her. Xi Xi looks like her, and her personality is also similar to her. Seeing Xi Xi is like seeing her when she was young! Youâre jealous of her because the position of Madam Xu should have been Xia Yunqiuâs!â
âAhâ!!â Xia Yunlou screamed like a madman, âShut up!â

Xia Yunlou felt like she was about to explode!
Why?! Why did that woman have to be above her in every aspect? She had clearly been dead for so long, yet she was still haunting her like a ghost. No one could forget her!
Xu Zhiâs words completely angered her. Xia Yunlou roared crazily. âItâs all her fault! Itâs all her fault! Sheâs the eldest daughter of the Xia family! Sheâs my motherâs favorite daughter! Even you treat her as Madam Xu in your heart! Worst of all, my daughter looks so similar to her. How can I not hate her?!
âShe deserved to die! She should have disappeared completely. Why is she disturbing my life again?!â
Xu Zhiâs face was gloomy. âYou b*tch! How dare you say such things?! You were the one who stole your sisterâs engagement back then. You were the one who stole what originally belonged to her. What right do you have to hate her?
âXi Xi was raised by Yunqiu herself, so whatâs so strange about her being similar to her? Moreover, Xi Xi isnât like Yunqiu but like your and Yunqiuâs mother, Old Madam Yin. Yunlou, how could you be so ignorant?!â
Just because she hated her biological sister, she wanted to destroy her biological daughter who resembled her sister?
Xu Zhi thought of those big shots behind Qiao Xi and instantly felt a chill down his spine.
Now, he only hoped that Xi Xi would not take issue with the Xu family. No matter what, they were related by blood. If she insisted on taking revenge, how could the Xu family endure it?
He had thought that his daughter was just a wild girl from the countryside. He didnât expect her to have such powerful backers. Any one of them could make Li City tremble.
Xu Zhiâs eyes were cold. It seemed that he must obtain Qiao Xiâs forgiveness.
âYunlou, apologize to Xi Xi immediately. You and Xu Anran must make Xi Xi forgive the Xu family. Otherwiseâ¦â
He took a deep breath and said, âOtherwise, weâll divorce!â
Xia Yunlou suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Divorce?
Although the two of them had not been happy in all these years, they were still kind to each other. Now, he wanted to divorce her for that b*tch?
