Seeing Xiang Jiechao’s fierce expression, Xu Yanlai shrank back, a hint of displeasure flashing across her eyes.
Seeing that Xiang Jiechao wasn’t moved by the fact that she was his biological sister, Xu Yanlai straightened up, wiping the sorrowful look off her face. She raised her lips with a hint of scorn, “Xiang Jiechao, why are you yelling at me? Don’t you understand yet? Your fate is in my hands!”
Xu Yanlai looked at him and sneered, “If you cooperate with me in the future, we’ll be intimate siblings, and I’ll naturally keep your secret. But if you dare to show me the attitude you just showed, well…”
She chuckled sarcastically and said disdainfully, “I am the daughter of the Xu family, and you are the son of the Xu family. We are siblings. You have no advantage over me! If you dare to disrespect me, I will expose you to Xiang Xiongyi!”
“I’ll make it known to Xiang Xiongyi that his precious son is not his flesh and blood. You are nothing but an imposter with not a drop of the Xiang family’s blood in your veins!”
“How dare you!” Xiang Jiechao slammed the table and stood up, his gaze fierce and his expression terrifying.
Xu Yanlai remained calm, sneering at him, “Yes, you’re right. I dare! I know you, the Xiang Family heir, hold power and might be capable of silencing me permanently. But, Xiang Jiechao, let me tell you…”
She leaned forward and smirked, “Before I came here, I handed a voice recorder to a well-known lawyer and told him that if I were to die suddenly, let him expose the contents of the recorder!”
She also stood up, facing the livid Xiang Jiechao, “Xiang Jiechao, I’m wary of you. Don’t try to silence me!
If I die, the news that you’re not Xiang Xiongyi’s son will be spread far and wide. By then, you will have nowhere to be buried! That boy named Lingyue, will take your place!”
“You…you…” Xiang Jiechao was so angry his face was ashen white, trembling all over, “Xu Yanlai, what do you want?”
“What else can I want?” Xu Yanlai said, “I want money! And, I want you to help the Jiang family out!”
“Are you crazy?” Xiang Jiechao retorted angrily, “The Xiang family is still under my father’s control. If I give you a large amount of money for no reason, my father’s intelligence would soon uncover our relationship. By then, you, me, and all members of the Xu family will be doomed!”
“Fine, I’m in no rush,” greed was evident in Xu Yanlai’s eyes, “Xiang Jiechao, I want you to sign an agreement with me. Once you have inherited the Xiang family’s property, we’ll split it evenly!
Xiang Jiechao, you’re a smart man, you should understand that only if our interests are intertwined, will I stake everything to protect your secret!”
“Xu Yanlai, have you gone mad?” Xiang Jiechao widened his eyes, unable to believe Xu Yanlai’s greed.
His father held a high position.
His maternal grandparents were once imperial merchants, running their business generation after generation, leaving behind a huge fortune.
His mother was the only daughter of his grandparents, so after her death, he would inherit all their substantial businesses.
Although he had been temporarily handing over the company to a professional manager because his father wanted him to pursue politics, it was not related to him for now.
But recently, because of his daughter’s matters, he was taken in for investigation.
Although his father intervened and used his connections to get him released, his job could no longer be preserved.
In fact, he was never interested in that bit of work. If it weren’t for his father’s reluctance to let him do business, he would have taken over his grandmother’s industry a long time ago.
Wouldn’t it be much more glamorous to be the president of such a huge multinational corporation than to be a minor official?
