Chapter 159: Owe No One
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As Xing Shu spoke, she changed the display on the big screen. “As for Xing
Linlin—because of her poor grades—the Xing family kept hiring tutors for her. They even forced me to learn Taekwondo for her personal safety. So, why should I apologize to Xing Linlin? Although Xing Linlin hasn’t held the title of the daughter of the Xing family all these years, the Xing family bought her luxury cars, branded clothes, and jewelry worth millions. When did I ever say anything?”
Xing Shu even had a smile on her face as she said these words and did not feel aggrieved at all. However, it was because of this that everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. If that was really the case, had Xing Shu really been treated as the daughter of the Xing family? Previously, Xing Shu was the daughter of the Xing family and Xing Linlin was just adopted of sorts. Why were the two of them treated so differently?
There was a brief silence, but there were many people after all and different voices sounded. “Xing Shu, you make it sound easy. How can you not owe the
Xing family? If you’re not from the Xing family, why would you be engaged to Cheng Xingyang? All these years, you’ve relied on the Cheng family to obtain a lot of resources. It’s not good to deny everything so easily.”
Wu Minxia finally came back to her senses when she heard this. She was stunned by Xing Shu l s actions just now. She did not know how to refute, but someone reminded her. She looked at Xing Shu with red eyes. “Xing Shu, I know you have resentment…”
Unfortunately, Xing Shu ignored her and looked at the person who spoke. “I used the Cheng family to obtain resources and find connections? Then let me ask this: who are my friends here? Who are my resources?”
The rhetorical questions made the person who spoke speechless. Many of the people here were seeing Xing Shu for the first time, let alone having anything to do with her resources.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the corners of Xing Shu l s mouth twitched. “As for the business resources you’re talking about, the deals I’ve handled in Cheng Corporation Group for the past three years have earned more than 100 million yuan. The Cheng family has also helped the Xing family’s business a lot because of this. The Xing family has invested less than two million yuan in me, but what did they receive in return?
Everyone present was a businessman, so they naturally knew how disproportionate this investment was. Or rather, how profitable it was. Therefore, it was ridiculous to say that Xing Shu owed the Xing family. In that case, why did the Xing family put on an aggrieved attitude? The Xing family would definitely make a profit if they took back 10 million yuan in cash and business support for an investment of less than two million yuan!
“In summary, I don’t owe anyone from the Xing family. I’ve already returned them 10 million yuan. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Xing family. As for what Madam Wu Minxia said about treating me as a daughter, I’m really sorry but I don’t have the fortune to enjoy it. Please find someone else.” Xing Shu put down the microphone directly. She was frank and unrestrained.
There was complete silence. Everyone knew what Xing Shu’ s words meant—she had completely cut ties with the Xing family without any hesitation.
Wu Minxia gritted her teeth and wished she could strangle Xing Shu to death. “How can you say that?!” She clutched her chest in pain and looked like she was about to faint. “All these years, I’ve raised you like my biological daughter and you want to leave just like that? Xing Shu, you’re really heartless!”
Xing Linlin patted Wu Minxia’s back. She bit her lip and said in a low voice, “Mom, don’t be angry. Xing Shu just took things too hard for a moment. She suddenly found out that she’s not a member of the Xing family and can’t accept it.”
Wu Minxia waved her hand. “Does she look like she can’t accept it? Forget it, forget it. Don’t make a fool of ourselves in front of the guests. Let’s not talk about this for now.”
Xing Linlin was also panicking. Xing Shu l s move was too ruthless. She had to think of a way to counter it. Suddenly, Xing Linlin said, “Xing Shu, what are you trying to do? Not only did you make the director of the welfare home so angry that he was hospitalized, but you also want Mom to be hospitalized?” She mentioned the welfare home again. As long as this was mentioned, everyone would think of the donations. Xing Shu could not refute this.
Xing Shu stopped in her tracks and the corners of her lips curled up. “Xing Linlin, you still have the cheek to mention the welfare home. Don’t you know who caused the director to be hospitalized? He i s still recuperating in the hospital. You dragged him in because you want to talk about the donations, right? Why beat around the bush?”
Xing Linlin’s face turned pale. Under Xing Shu’s gaze, she could not help but cower..
