But before the slap fell, Xue Jue suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Xue Yanjing’s wrist.
“Everything that happened today is your own fault.”
Xue Jue’s eyes were extremely cold, and the corners of his mouth were always curved with a hint of mockery. He stared at Xue Yanjing’s pale face for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Do you think I didn’t know that you were helping that illegitimate child to rise to power? It’s a pity that the things raised outside can never see the light of day, and all they can do are sneaky things. The board of directors has been resenting you for more than a day or two.”
Xue Yanjing’s wrists felt so painful on being pinched, as he stared at Xue Jue in horror, while he opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word. The oppressive aura emanating from Xue Jue’s body made it difficult for him to even breathe.
“My mother has a weak character and came from a poor family. She married into your Xue family with passion and worked like a cow and horse. But her lack of bottom line is not an excuse for you to do more. Since you have the courage to bring back your mistress and illegitimate child, you must be responsible and prepare for the consequences.”
Xue Jue spoke in a gentle tone, but every word was like a hammer, hitting Xue Yanjing’s head hard, causing his head to bleed.
At this time, Butler Zhang came over quietly: “Sir, what should we do with her?”
Without a trace.
He glanced indifferently at Sun Fei, who was sitting on the sofa with a dull face, waved his hand casually and said: “Let her stay and arrange a job for her.”
Butler Zhang understood instantly and nodded: “Okay.”
Before leaving, Xue Jue looked deeply at Xue Yanjing, who was still in a daze, and said calmly: “My marriage to a man and having children will not affect the reputation of the Xue family, but you taking advantage of my leaving home to bring back your mistress and illegitimate child and letting them be on an equal footing with the first wife and son. These things have long become the laughing stock of other people after dinner, and you just don’t know it.”
Xue Yanjing was startled when he heard this, and then pursed his lips tightly, with a rare trace of humiliation and regret in his expression.
In the more than half a year since Xue Jue was away from home, it would be no exaggeration to say that the Xue family had undergone earth-shaking changes.
As soon as Sun Fei was brought back to the Xue family by Xue Yanjing, she began to covet Weng Yuxiang’s position as the hostess. She often turned a deaf ear to Xue Yanjing. Over time, Xue Yanjing also started turning a blind eye to what Sun Fei did.
So Sun Fei drove away the servants at home time and time again and arranged for her relatives to come over to work. Her relatives were a bunch of lazy people. They worked hard in front of Xue Yanjing but secretly passed all the work to other servants.
Among them was a middle-aged woman in her thirties who was Sun Fei’s cousin. She had the most active mind and had a lot of clever ideas. She even encouraged Sun Fei to occupy Xue Jue’s bedroom and study room and relied on Sun Fei’s attention to dominate the Xue family.
Today, Sun Fei and Xue Hao fell into trouble together with Xue Yanjing. The relatives brought by Sun Fei were all trembling with fear, fearing that Xue Jue’s anger would reach them.
Only Sun Fei’s cousin saw that the momentum was not right, so she hurried back to her room to pack her luggage and was prepared to run away.
However, when she pushed open the door with her heavy suitcase, Butler Zhang and five or six servants were already standing outside, blocking the door tightly.
Butler Zhang glanced at the suitcase behind her lightly, and said with a smile: “Xiao Liu, where are you going in a hurry? You didn’t even say a word to us.”
Liu Hui was frightened. She was stunned and looked as frightened as if she had seen the devil. She staggered back two steps, but accidentally kicked the suitcase behind her, and then fell to the ground.
“Zhang, Butler Zhang…” Liu Hui, who had a guilty conscience, was a bit slurred in her speech. She tried to quibble, “I, I just suddenly remembered that there was something urgent at home and I had to go back quickly.”
Butler Zhang said, “It’s not urgent, let’s check your suitcase first, if there is nothing wrong, you can leave.”
After that, Butler Zhang waved to the servants behind him.
Several servants understood and immediately stepped forward to pull Liu Hui’s suitcase, ready to open and inspect it on the spot.
Liu Hui panicked when she saw this. She crawled over and hugged her suitcase with both hands and feet. She was so anxious that she almost cried: “It contains all my personal belongings. You can’t touch my things casually!”
Butler Zhang looked at Liu Hui with disdain, and then sneered: “In the past two months, the old madam has lost a lot of clothes and jewelry. Everyone living in the Xue family is a suspect. Since you are leaving, of course the inspection will start from you.”
Liu Hui collapsed and said, “I didn’t take anything, you are framing me with nothing!”
“We will know if you have taken it just by looking at it.” Butler Zhang’s voice became deeper and deeper, and he raised his chin at the servants.
Without saying a word, the servants forced Liu Hui away from the suitcase, then put down the suitcase and opened it to check. After a while, they found Weng Yuxiang’s missing clothes and jewelry among the pile of clothes.
The evidence was overwhelming, and Liu Hui, who had been denying it until she was hoarse just now, suddenly felt like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost.
Sun Fei’s relatives were more or less all unclean, and Liu Hui was the greediest of the group. More than half of Weng Yuxiang’s lost things had gone into her pocket.
After checking Liu Hui’s suitcase, Butler Zhang asked two servants to take Liu Hui to the living room to wait, and then went on to check other people’s rooms.
It was not until an hour later that Butler Zhang finally checked everyone and found out seven thieves who had stolen the family’s property. Without exception, they were all relatives of Sun Fei.
When Weng Yuxiang saw the objects placed on the coffee table, she couldn’t help but show a surprised expression. She stepped forward to count them and looked up at Xue Jue: “They are all things lost from home.”
Xue Jue sat on the sofa with a cold expression, his slender legs crossed, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea in his hand, as he raised his eyes slightly and said: “Call the police.”
