Thinking about the day when the truth would be revealed, and the enormous wealth would drift away from him, having absolutely no connection with him, made him shiver and his heart ache as if it were bleeding.
The title of the heir to the Xiang Family would belong to a stranger with no connection to him, and the thought sent a chill down his spine, breaking his heart.
No.
Never!
The Xiang Family was his; he would not surrender it to anyone!
A malicious glint flashed through his eyes as he stared at Xu Yanlai, growling, “Since you swapped me with the Xiang Family and gave up on me years ago, why have you come looking for me now?”
He would rather remain ignorant of this secret for life, and forever believe that he was the legitimate heir of the Xiang Family!
“Brother, Mom didn’t abandon you back then!” Tears welled up in Xu Yanlai’s eyes as she looked at Xiang Jiechao and said earnestly: “Everyone knows that a child is a mother’s heart, how could Mom bear to give you up?
The truth is, you were born prematurely and only weighed about three pounds. Our family was impoverished back then. If Mom had taken you home, she wouldn’t have been able to keep you alive.
Mom didn’t want to stand by and watch you die, so she switched you with the Xiang Family’s daughter.
It was a considerable risk for Mom to do this back then.
Brother, think about it, the Xiang Family is very influential. If they had found out that Mom had swapped you for their daughter, they would certainly not have spared her!
All these years, Mom has been at peace seeing you live a comfortable life in the Xiang Family.
Mom had me contact you because she learned about Xiao Zi’s trouble.
Xiao Zi is Mom’s own granddaughter. Learning that she has been put in jail was more painful than cutting off a piece of her own flesh!”
Xu Yanlai wiped away her tears, “Brother, Mom traded you to the Xiang Family at the time to save your life! And wasn’t it because Mom had swapped you with the Xiang Family that you were able to lead such a good life all these years?
You are the only heir to the Xiang Family, and so many people envy and jealous of you! All of this was given to you by Mom. Brother, you must not forget Mom’s kindness to you!”
Xiang Jiechao was holding back his anger, his face paled, “For my good? If it was for my good, she should have taken this secret to her grave. Why did she tell you?”
Xiang Jiechao had seen it early on, this Xu Yanlai who claimed to be his biological sister, was no good at all.
Claiming to get to know him for the sake of her daughter, Xiang Bingzhi.
What lies!
Her daughter was sent to jail by Gu Junzhu, his influential father couldn’t even do anything about Gu Junzhu, how could the insignificant Xu Family be of any help?
Sounding sweet, she merely wanted to latch onto him for personal benefits!
Xu Yanlai looked at Xiang Jiechao with a hurt expression: “Brother, we are siblings with the same parents, flesh and blood relations. How could I bear to let you live your whole life in ignorance, not knowing who your birth parents are?”
“Enough!” Xiang Jiechao banged the table fiercely, “Xu Yanlai, why are you looking for me? Speak straight, don’t beat around the bush, I won’t fall for your tricks!”
She can’t bear to let him live in blindness, not knowing who his biological parents are?
He’s in his forties now and has always taken Xiang Xiongyi to be his biological father.
He’d rather live his entire life knowing only that Xiang Xiongyi is his biological father and remain ignorant of his true identity.
The lowly Xu Family didn’t even deserve to clean his shoes, let alone want him to acknowledge them as his birth parents?
