Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Xu Xingluo Finds Out About His Origins
 

Xu Xingluo saw his serious expression and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Xu Guangyao took out a yellowed agreement from the safe and handed it to her, “Take a look, this is what I mentioned to you before.”

Xu Xingluo stared at the pages, flipping through them eagerly.

“Notarized?” her eyes lit up.

“Yes.”

A hidden smile appeared on the corners of Xu Guangyao’s mouth, “If you want to marry Huo Xingzhou, I can make it happen for you. If Huo Jiancheng had produced this document earlier, you would have married into their family already.”

Xu Xingluo snorted dismissively and scoffed, “He’s a hypocrite. If he had brought this out earlier to make me marry Brother Xingzhou and cheer him up, we would have gotten our marriage certificate already. Why wait until now?”

She bore a grudge against Huo Jiancheng as well.

Xu Guangyao said with a smile, “It’s not too late. Tianyuan Group has an important collaboration with the Zhong Family in the Imperial Capital. This is our best opportunity.”

“Mm, thank you, Dad!”

Xu Xingluo held the document, kissing it repeatedly, as if it were Huo Xingzhou himself.

“There’s one more thing.”

Xu Guangyao hesitated as he looked at her, “Your second uncle’s health must never recover!”

“Why?”

“Xingluo, do you trust me?” Xu Guangyao asked.

“Of course, I trust Dad. But what does this have to do with my uncle?” Xu Xingluo had no familial affection for Liu Zongyun and trusted Xu Guangyao even more.

At this point.

Xu Guangyao knew he could no longer keep her in the dark, or else how could she align with him.

“I’ll take you somewhere, keep quiet about it.”

“Okay.”

Xu Guangyao took her to hail a cab at the company’s entrance and switched cabs along the way.

They finally stopped at Biyuan Residential Area.

“Dad, why did you bring me here?”

“Don’t talk.”

Xu Guangyao pressed the elevator button, and the access card took them to the 16th floor.

Before them was a tightly shut door, lavishly decorated.

Xu Xingluo stared at the door, and a wave of nervousness suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart. Following her instincts, she said, “Dad, I don’t want to go anymore, I want to go downstairs.”

Intuition told her that behind this door was something she didn’t want to face.

Xu Guangyao grabbed her hand, “You must go.”

He rang the doorbell.

Quick footsteps came from inside, and as the door opened, fragrant air wafted out, and a graceful woman threw herself into Xu Guangyao’s arms, “Husband, I’ve missed you so much.”

Xu Guangyao patted her buttocks and said, “Look who I brought!”

“Xingluo!”

The woman looked at Xu Xingluo, her eyes reddening with excitement.

Xu Xingluo stepped back twice, looking at them incredulously, “Dad, are you seeing another woman! Does Mom know? How could you do this?”

Liu Huimin and Xu Guangyao were regarded as a model couple in Haicheng, and Xu Xingluo had never imagined her father would have an affair.

Shen Shiyun felt deeply wronged hearing herself being referred to as “the other woman.”

“Xingluo, I am your mother!”

Xu Guangyao had said that if he ever brought Xu Xingluo here, it would mean it was time to reveal her true origins to her.

“My mom is Liu Huimin, you shameless wretch, what nonsense are you spouting!”

Xu Xingluo became emotionally agitated and turned to run away.

Xu Guangyao quickly grabbed her hand, dragging her inside the room and locking the door.

Xu Xingluo slammed her fists against the door, her whole body engulfed in a panic. She had a premonition that what Xu Guangyao was about to say would overturn her life, and she didn’t want to hear it!

“Xingluo!”

“Xu Xingluo, calm yourself down! Once you walk out that door, you lose all ties to wealth and glory!”

Xu Xingluo stopped what she was doing and stared blankly at Xu Guangyao.

Xu Guangyao said sternly, “Come here, sit down.”

“Xingluo, come.” Shen Shiyun coaxed her, trying to pull her along, but Xu Xingluo shook her off aggressively.

“Don’t touch me.”

She sat down on the sofa in a huff.

Xu Guangyao softened his tone and said, “I didn’t want to tell you this originally. But now, I can no longer hide it from you.”

“This is Shen Shiyun, your biological mother.”

He introduced her, and Shen Shiyun looked at Xu Xingluo with affection.

Xu Xingluo was not moved at all, her heart filled with resentment, “Nonsense! My mother is Liu Huimin of the Liu Family. How could this woman dressed like a flamboyant fox be my mother?”

She glared at Shen Shiyun with hatred, unwilling to accept the truth.

Slap!

Xu Guangyao slapped her across the face.

“Dad, you hit me?” Xu Xingluo covered her cheek, looking at him in disbelief.

Throughout her life, Xu Guangyao had never even raised his voice at her.

“Xu Xingluo, we don’t have time for you to be willful. Even if you don’t acknowledge her, it won’t change the truth.” Xu Guangyao took a deep breath and spilled everything.

“Back then, Shiyun and Liu Huimin gave birth on the same day, and I swapped you with that child. But Liu Zongyun saw it, and while he hurried to tell the Liu Family the truth, he was hit by a truck driver I bribed and became comatose.”

“Over the years, because your blood type is the same as mine and you also resemble me somewhat, no one suspected your identity.”

Xu Xingluo muttered, “But now my second uncle has woken up… No wonder he was so agitated when he saw me; it wasn’t because he liked me, but because he hated me!”

She felt as if the sky had fallen!

She was actually the daughter of a mistress!

“This can’t be true…” she said, as if her soul had departed her body.

All of it was a lie!

She was the esteemed and cherished pearl, how could she be the daughter of a mistress hidden in the shadows?

“Dad, you’re lying to me, right?”

Xu Guangyao said mercilessly, “You are indeed my and Shiyun’s biological daughter, who has lived over twenty years of luxury that was switched at birth.”

Xu Xingluo covered her face and cried in despair!

Xu Guangyao continued slowly, “Xingluo, now is not the time to cry. If Liu Zongyun fully recovers, both our father and daughter will be doomed! So, we absolutely cannot let him speak!”

A vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

“What should we do then?”

Xu Xingluo was only good at causing small troubles and doing disgusting things. With her intelligence, she couldn’t come up with a perfect plan.

“We make sure he never speaks again! I’ve consulted a doctor; people in comas have very low immunity and most die from viral infections. I will find a way; when the time comes, I’ll need your cooperation.”

This was the quietest way, leaving no evidence to find.

Xu Xingluo sobbed and her mind grew active. With red eyes, she asked, “What happened to the other child? Could she threaten my position?”

Even with such a drastic change, she quickly regained composure to look after her own interests.

Xu Guangyao sneered. They were cold-hearted and ruthless, just alike at the core — definitely his daughter.

“Back then, I instructed the truck driver to take her and dispose of her; she’s dead.”

“Did you see it with your own eyes, Dad?”

“He sent me a photo, of a dead infant.”

Xu Xingluo always felt uneasy, her eyelids twitched. She did not want to overlook any possibility, “Dad, are you sure he didn’t deceive you? Can you still find that truck driver?”

Xu Guangyao laughed scornfully, “Country folk see the money and get greedy; he took five hundred thousand and ran off to Southeast Asia.”

The truck had insurance, so even after he had hit Liu Zongyun and left him in that state, he did not go to prison.

Shen Shiyun looked at them with a content smile on her face, “We three are finally reunited as a family.”
