Chapter 156

The Truth Behind the Car Accident

Xu Chuxue no longer had time to think about why Xu Wantang had chosen to give up.

All she knew was that this was a golden opportunity for her to rise to power.

Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Cen Shichuan with deep affection.

"Third Young Master, I understand that you must be concerned about Wan Tang's sister, so you want to take all the blame to ensure that Wan Tang can keep her status as the Third Young Master's wife of the Cen family. But since Wan Tang has someone she likes, why not just let her live a peaceful life?"

With Xu Wantang's past reputation so bad, and now trapped in the Cen family for the past year, what good man could she possibly find?

At most, they are people who work for the Cen family.

He might just be the driver.

Could it really be Cen Yuan? Cen Yuan isn't stupid.

Cen Shichuan didn't even look at Xu Chuxue; his eyes were fixed on Xu Wantang.

Just as he was about to step forward, his gaze fell upon Old Master Cen below the stage.

Looking into those warning eyes, he knew this was the best possible outcome for him.

Cen Shichuan clenched his fists unwillingly and nodded forcefully: "Yes, Xina is right. Since Wan Tang has already found her beloved, I won't force her. That would be doing right by Chu Xue. But... I want to know who your beloved is?"

"Yes, Wan Tang, some men only know how to use sweet talk. You must not be foolish. Tell me and the Third Young Master and I will give you some advice."

Xu Chuxue deliberately picked up the conversation, wanting to put pressure on the man behind Xu Wantang.

Now that she has secured her place in the Cen family through her child, she must trample Xu Wantang underfoot.

Xu Wantang didn't want to announce her relationship with Cen Yuan at this time, making it seem like she was deliberately comparing herself to Cen Shichuan.

Cen Yuan is much better than Cen Shichuan.

"Let's do it later. After all, this is the Ji family home, and we're not the main characters here."

Cen Shichuan pressed on, "Is he not presentable enough? I thought he loved you so much, but it turns out he's nothing special."

Xu Chuxue also said, "Wantang, we can't settle for anything just because we can't have the best."

Xu Wantang frowned, about to retort, when her hand was tightly grasped.

"It's me, what's the problem?"

"..."

There was silence all around.

Cen Yuan led Xu Wantang forward, and said calmly, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No, impossible! How could you possibly choose Xu Wantang? Her reputation..."

"Where's the evidence? I mean concrete evidence. If it's just photos, it only proves that she liked Cen Shichuan, but it doesn't prove that she would hire someone to kill her own sister for Cen Shichuan, right, Xina? Oh, asking you is useless, you should ask... the Xu family."

Cen Yuan looked at the three members of the Xu family who were hiding in the crowd.

Feeling ashamed, Mr. Xu took two steps back.

Zheng Yuzhu blurted out, "Xu Wantang is my daughter, I know her personality. Second Young Master, don't be fooled by her. She has always liked to compete with my sister since she was a child. She only harbors such resentment because she sees that Third Young Master likes my sister."

"What are you arguing about? Give me a list," Cen Yuan retorted.

Zheng Yuzhu was stunned: "In short, she just liked to steal her sister's things. Her sister is dead now, which is the best proof."

"Dead?" Cen Yuan's voice was deep and carried an undeniable air of authority.

Zheng Yuzhu's expression froze for a moment before she answered in a slightly weaker voice, "Yes, he's dead."

"That is quite interesting." Cen Yuan glanced at Xu Wantang.

It seems to indicate that the real show is about to begin.

Before Xu Wantang could react, Lin Yue walked in with a woman.

The woman pounced on Zheng Yuzhu as soon as she saw her.

"It's you! You're the one who killed my husband!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I don't know you at all!" Zheng Yuzhu dodged.

The woman shouted, "I am the wife of the driver who died in the car accident. I was at my parents' home in another city at the time, so you didn't see me. But when you were looking for my husband, he was careful and recorded a video and immediately sent it to me. He said it was our life-saving charm. But what I got was news of my husband's death. I was afraid that you would come after me, so I had to leave Beijing first."

Upon hearing the video, Zheng Yuzhu seemed to realize something and turned to run away, but was blocked by Ji Yan's men.

"Mrs. Xu, what's the rush? We've seen so many shows today, one more won't make a difference."

The words were spoken.

The large screen started playing a video, in which Xu Chuxue and Zheng Yuzhu stood in front of the driver.

"Everything is ready. Just crash as I say."

"Miss Xu, that won't do. I can hit you from the side of the passenger seat. What if something happens to you if I hit you directly?" The driver was a little scared and shook his head repeatedly.

"I told you, just crash into the spot I told you to, I won't get hurt." Xu Chuxue was no longer gentle as usual, and even looked somewhat repulsive.

Before the driver could say anything more, Zheng Yuzhu handed him another wad of cash.

"Just do as I say, and we'll take care of the rest."

"I see."

The driver touched the thick wad of cash and agreed.

Just as the driver went to pour water, Zheng Yuzhu moved closer to Xu Chuxue.

"First Snow, I actually think the driver is right. What if something really bad happened to you?"

"Mom, the doctor said that this child is deformed because I had whitening injections. The Cen family only agreed to let me into the family because of this child. If they find out that the child is deformed, the Third Young Master and the Cen family will be unhappy. It's better to take this opportunity to shift the blame to Xu Wantang. As long as we insist that she is jealous of me, she will never be able to clear her name for the rest of her life."

"Okay, then you need to be careful too."

The video ends here.

The driver's wife said, "He only discovered the video had more content at night. He was afraid something bad would happen, but he said the person who contacted him was a very powerful man. If he backed out at the last minute, his whole family would be in trouble, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead. But he never expected..."

She cried as she pointed to the Xu family members who were preparing to flee.

Ji Yan clapped his hands: "It seems that God has finally opened his eyes. Xu Chuxue plotted against Xu Wantang, but in the end, she also got herself caught in the crossfire. However, Mrs. Xu, you... have broken the law. Xu Chuxue died because of your plan, and Xu Wantang's reputation has been ruined as a result."

"No, no..."

Zheng Yuzhu subconsciously looked at Xu Chuxue, wanting her to step forward and help.

Xu Chuxue is now Xina, and she finally managed to clear her name. How could she possibly want to be tainted by such a stigma?

Anyway, Xu Chuxue is already dead; she is the pregnant Xina.

Even if Xu Chuxue is at fault, her child is now Cen Shichuan's lifeline.

She looked at Cen Shichuan with a troubled expression.

Cen Shichuan has just acknowledged Xina and her unborn child; something must not happen now.

"I didn't know Chu Xue was this kind of person, but she's already dead, and I don't want to pursue it any further. Mrs. Xu also seems to have been forced into this situation."

"Yes, I was forced by Chu Xue. She deceived the Third Young Master in private. We dared not provoke her and could only cooperate with her. You can see in the video that I was also trying to persuade her."

Zheng Yuzhu is opportunistic; the daughter she always protected can also become the most vicious daughter.

Xu Chuxue's face froze, sensing that something was amiss.

When she wasn't paying attention, she slipped, screamed, and fell to the ground.
