Chapter 442: Chapter 443: When Enemies Meet
Senior Master Xiang sat at Lingyue’s bedside, keeping him company silently until the news came from Gu Chi that Xu Yanlai’s mother, Gao Qiaolan, had been brought to the basement of the Gu family’s villa.
Senior Master Xiang instructed his trusted aide, “Take good care of Xiao Yue for me.”
His aide bowed to accept the order.
He would watch this Young Master vigilantly.
In the past, when Senior Master Xiang didn’t know that this child was his own grandson, he had deemed the child greatly valuable, intending to groom him as the Xiang family’s successor’s right-hand man, to look after the Xiang family once he grew up and gained the capacity to do so.
Now, this child has become Senior Master Xiang’s own grandson. Given the importance he places on this child, this child will undoubtedly be the next Family Head of the Xiang family.
There is no doubt at all!
Ye Xingbei also stayed in the ward to accompany Lingyue and Xiao Shu.
Gu Junzhu had brought Senior Master Xiang to his villa.
Pushing open the basement door, following a long staircase down, Senior Master Xiang finally saw Xu Yanlai’s mother, Gao Qiaolan.
Gao Qiaolan, with her hands tied behind her back, was huddled in a corner.
Upon seeing Senior Master Xiang and Gu Junzhu, she shrank back in fear, “Who are you? What do you want? Don’t mess around, my son-in-law is the richest man in Jiang City, and the chief of the police is his friend, you, you…”
She wanted to utter a threatening remark, but wasn’t brave enough to do it.
Be it Senior Master Xiang or Gu Junzhu; they were different from the people she usually met.
Their authority and stature gave off an indescribable pressure, making breathing a laborious exercise for her.
Senior Master Xiang squatted down in front of her, “My name is Xiang Xiongyi, and I was under the impression that you knew me.”
Recognizing Senior Master Xiang’s face, Gao Qiaolan’s pupils contracted abruptly, her face turned white, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
She recognized him.
How could she not?
She was just too scared, and did not get to see his face clearly.
She had seen this old man countless times on the television news.
She knew, this old man was a big official.
She had sent her son to serve in this big official’s house.
But now…how could she be tied in front of this big official?
Could it be, could it be the truth was out?
Looking at Senior Master Xiang’s eyes in horror, it was as if she was looking at the very King of Death himself.
Seeing Gao Qiaolan’s reactions, Senior Master Xiang was absolutely sure that it was her who had swapped his daughter.
His heart bled with hatred.
He wanted to condemn this woman, but he didn’t utter a sound, even after opening his mouth.
No language on this earth could be enough to express his loathing for this woman.
He stood up, looking down at Gao Qiaolan coldly, “Xiang Jiechao is your son, correct?”
“No, no, no!” Gao Qiaolan shook her head frantically, “He is not my son, he is your son, your son!”
Senior Master Xiang sneered, “The son you made me foster for so many years, do you think you can still deceive me now? Do you know what your son has done? He had my grandson kidnapped and wanted to kill him, he has committed the crime of intentional murder, he doesn’t have long to live, don’t you want to hear him call you ‘Mother’? ”
Gao Qiaolan’s eyes widened to their fullest, “No, no! It’s not possible! You’re lying to me, he’s your son, you’ve raised him for over forty years, how could you let him die? You’re lying to me, you’re lying to me!”
