Slap!

Liu Zongyun landed the final slap on Xu Xingluo’s face, leaving her cheek swollen and red.

Xu Xingluo covered her face, sobbing and looking dreadful.

Liu Huimin quickly ran forward to shield Xu Xingluo and Xu Guangyao, “Second Brother, have you gone mad? Why are you suddenly hitting people? Xingluo, how are you? Does it hurt?”

She was heartbroken.

“Yeah, why are you hitting her?”

“Could Liu Zongyun have become insane after lying down for over twenty years? I think there’s something wrong with his brain.”

“Something’s not right. Look at Old Mrs. Liu and President Liu, they aren’t stopping him! Why do I find what Liu Zongyun just said very strange? What does he mean by that? And just now, President Huo…”

Liu Qiushuang and Liu Zongquan indeed did not intervene.

They had already faintly sensed something and let the situation unfold.

Sun Weimeng didn’t know when he had moved next to Qiao Xi and said, “Is there an inside story? Tell me first, it’s really killing me!”

Qiao Xi shook her head; she didn’t know either.

Initially, she thought Mr. Huo’s way of retaliating and settling accounts was to expose Xu Guangyao’s affair with a mistress outside. The birthday banquet would certainly be very lively, especially since the mistress was pregnant.

How could the Liu family allow such a scandal to exist?

The birthday banquet would surely be a mess.

That would serve Xu Xingluo and Xu Guangyao a harsh lesson.

But now Mr. Huo had done nothing, instead saying that it wasn’t his turn to settle the accounts. Looking at Liu Zongyun’s attitude, he indeed seemed ready to settle accounts, but Qiao Xi had not received any prior notification.

“Old Chen, move the sofa over here,” Huo Xingzhou commanded indifferently, “and close the doors to the banquet hall as well. It’s time to beat the dog in a manger. To prevent some from thinking of running away.”

“Alright.”

Old Chen moved a single sofa to the side, selected some delightful pastries on a plate, and finally poured a cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, placing it on the side table, “Young Madam, please sit.”

Qiao Xi felt a bit overwhelmed.

Huo Xingzhou pressed her shoulders down to sit, “This drama will last all night, sit down and watch.”

Wearing high heels all evening had tired her feet, and she hadn’t had much to eat.

Qiao Xi sat in a specially designated seat with an excellent view. No guests inconsiderate enough to block her view stood in front of her—she could see Xu Xingluo’s tears clearly.

Sun Weimeng fumed silently and dragged a stool over to sit beside her, “You definitely have insider information that you’re not sharing with me, but I’m sitting too! Old Chen, get me some sunflower seeds.”

“Sure thing, Young Master Sun,” Old Chen was usually easygoing.

They enjoyed themselves as onlookers.

But the situation was not so pleasant for Xu Guangyao and Xu Xingluo.

With tears and pleading, Xu Guangyao knelt before Liu Zongyun, “Second Brother, I know I was wrong; I was bewitched. Can’t we discuss this at home? Huimin is not well; she can’t handle the shock! And Old Mrs. Liu is getting on in years…”

“Hypocrite!”

Liu Zongyun lifted his leg and kicked him.

Realizing he couldn’t avoid the inevitable, with a furious look in his eyes, Xu Guangyao charged at Liu Zongyun, “I told you to shut up! Why did you have to wake up!”

“Bodyguards!”

Liu Zongquan shouted sharply.

Bodyguards from all around forcefully pinned Xu Guangyao to the floor; his face rubbed against the carpet, unable to move.

Liu Zongquan took charge and spoke, “Second Brother, just speak your mind! Today we really want to hear what you have to say; since you’ve come this far, you must have suffered greatly!”

Old Mrs. Liu cried with tears streaming down her face, “Zongyun, speak up! I’m strong enough to take it!”

They had all begun to grasp the gravity of the situation.

“You can’t!”

Xu Xingluo was crying and creating a scene, completely losing her composed facade as a refined lady.

Almost throwing a tantrum, she screamed, “You can’t say it! Mom, don’t let him speak anymore! If you do, I’ll die, I’ll do it right now!”

“`

She grabbed a fruit knife from the long table in a frenzy and pressed it against her wrist.

It pierced the skin.

Blood spread.

“Mom, I really will die! Make him shut up!” Xu Xingluo knew that at this moment she could only use her life to threaten Liu Huimin, who looked at her pale and panicked.

“Xingluo, don’t do anything foolish! Put down the knife, Mommy is scared!”

Liu Huimin covered her lips and cried loudly, “Big Brother, can we talk about this at home? Xingluo is a piece of flesh from my own body, don’t press her! Even if she has committed a grave error, I also…”

She tugged at Liu Zongyun’s clothes, pleading, “Big Brother, Xingluo has severe psychological issues. Don’t provoke her, I beg you…”

She didn’t want to know any truth!

She just wanted to maintain the peace!

The sight of the blood flowing out of Xu Xingluo’s body terrified her.

Liu Zongyun’s eyes lowered, hiding the pain within. He pried Liu Huimin’s fingers apart one by one, his voice calm but clearly trembling, “Huimin, she is not your daughter.”

Whoosh!

What?

Everyone present doubted their ears.

Liu Huimin’s expression was dazed, her mind blank, “Big Brother, what are you talking about? Have you become muddled from lying down for so many years? How could she not be my daughter? She and Guangyao look so alike, and I raised her with my own hands.”

She thought Liu Zongyun was joking, but tears started flowing from the corners of her eyes.

“Xu Xingluo is not your daughter,” Liu Zongyun said again.

This time, his voice was firmer and clearer, allowing every person to hear clearly.

Xu Xingluo, holding the fruit knife, slumped and half-knelt on the ground.

It’s over.

Everything is over!

“Impossible!” Liu Huimin sobbed in denial.

Liu Zongyun looked at her with pity.

His body was taut, forcibly suppressing the tumultuous hatred in his heart. He closed his eyes and slowly said, “Twenty-two years ago, on the day you prematurely gave birth. The Liu Family rushed to get the news and was not prepared, I was the first to arrive at the hospital.”

“By the time I got there, you had already given birth. I went to see the baby in the nursery, but on my way back, I accidentally caught Xu Guangyao plotting with a woman.”

His gaze swept across the hall’s guests like an eagle’s, finally focusing on a corner.

A woman.

A woman in lavish clothing, clutching her bag, shivering and trying to sneak away.

The crowd turned their eyes to Shen Shiyun.

Shen Shiyun was crying helplessly but was eventually brought before Liu Zongyun by a bodyguard.

“Xiaoshen?” Liu Huimin looked at her with a tear-stained face.

“Madam, I…”

Shen Shiyun knew today was a bad day, and that they couldn’t escape.

All her schemes had come to nothing.

“Xiaoshen, what did you and Guangyao do?” Liu Huimin’s lips were bloodless, trembling as she spoke.

Even the most foolish would have realized something by now.

“Madam, I… I am…” Shen Shiyun’s voice trembled.

Liu Zongyun ruthlessly pierced the last veil, his voice as if it were chafed by rough sand, “On the day you prematurely gave birth, Shen Shiyun and Xu Guangyao’s daughter was also born.”

“They conspired to switch the babies, replacing our Liu Family’s true pearl with their own daughter.”

“And Xu Xingluo is the daughter of the mistress!”

The truth rang out startlingly clear!
