Chapter 167: Truth
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Xiao Sa narrowed his eyes and exchanged a glance with Xiao Jing. It seemed that Rourou’s suspicion was not wrong at all. Perhaps all of this was a conspiracy that had started decades ago! Although they didn’t know how it began, there were obviously two uncovered conspiracies—Lin Ru being stolen away forty years ago and Xiao Jinning and Xiao Rou being swapped over twenty years ago.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing unconsciously took out his cellphone and dialed Tang Xi’s number. Tang Xi had just taken a shower when she received the phone call. She held the phone and went to the balcony to answer. “Jing, did you arrive there?”
Xiao Jing grunted in response and while looking at Lin Jiao, he said, “But Lin Jiao seemed to have offended someone and was beaten up. How should we deal with this?”
Tang Xi raised an eyebrow. She had guessed Lin Jiao might offend others, but she didn’t expect her to end up being beaten at this time. She raised her eyebrows as she sat on the chair in the balcony, looked up at the pitch-black sky and said solemnly, “It doesn’t matter. Just bring her to me alive. I only want to ask her some questions. Never mind the rest.”
She didn’t want her brother to offend anyone just for bringing this Lin Jiao to her.
Xiao Jing had seen Xiao Sa looking at him and knew he wanted to listen to the phone call as well, so he turned on the speakerphone, following which every word Xiao Rou said was heard by everyone present.
When Mei Aiyuan heard Tang Xi’s words, she almost decided to go to City A with Xiao Jing and meet Xiao Rou. She wanted to see what kind of person Xiao Rou was really like. She truly liked the way she treated her enemies—never showing any mercy to them!
When Lin Jiao heard Tang Xi’s words, she immediately struggled up and screamed, ignoring the pain on her face. “Xiao Rou, little b*tch, get your mom to answer the phone. Get my mother to answer the phone! Hurry up!”
Hearing Lin Jiao’s scream, Tang Xi held the phone away from her ears in disgust and replied coldly, “Who do you think you are? Why should I do as you ask?”
On this side, when Xiao Jing heard Tang Xi’s words, he looked up at Mei Aiyuan, who nodded and turned to order Ah Da to clear the site, following which she turned to look at the three ladies who were listening in astonishment and said with a smile, “Excuse me, ladies. The debt you owe me today will be canceled. We have a small matter to deal with right now, so please go back. Let’s continue tomorrow.”
The three ladies had heard many secrets today. They knew if they continued to stay here, they might be killed to keep their mouth shut, so when Mei Aiyuan asked them to leave, they picked up their bags and left the casino in a hurry.
Because of what happened in the casino today, the other gamblers were no longer in the mood for gambling, so when Ah Da asked them to leave, they left quickly.
Xiao Sa took a look at the people he brought with him, raised his eyebrows and said, “Go tell those people to keep their mouth shut about what they saw here today.”
As soon as he finished, the group of men in suits and ties immediately dispersed.
Seeing those people disperse in such an orderly manner, Mei Aiyuan looked at her own bouncers and sighed. Their men were in black suits and her bouncers were in blacks suit too, but why did their men look so professional while hers were like a bunch of gangsters?
After the crowd was cleared away, Xiao Jing turned on the speakerphone again, and Tang Xi’s words came from the phone again. “Lin Jiao, I’d like to remind you—’Bitch’ should be used for people like you, as we aren’t qualified for this kind of word.”
Xiao Jing took a look at Mei Aiyuan and said into the phone, “Here is Mrs. Chen. She’s the one who Lin Jiao offended. She said Lin Jiao spilled the beans just now and seemed to be very familiar with the place where you had been living since childhood. It was probably her who swapped you and Xiao Jinning.”
Mei Aiyuan looked at Xiao Jing in surprise. She didn’t expect that Xiao Jing would tell Xiao Rou this information without any warning, as if he thought Xiao Rou wouldn’t care about it!
Xiao Jing knew that the present Xiao Rou was not the real Xiao Rou. She did all this just to avenge the real Xiao Rou, which was why he would tell her all the things about Xiao Rou and let her deal with them.
Tang Xi kept silent for quite a while before she said, “It’s just as I guessed. My mom isn’t Tao Yan’s daughter, which explains why Tao Yan would have treated her like that. After Lin Jiao gave birth to her own child, they swapped me with that child and made her the beloved daughter of the Xiao Family in my place. For all those years, she had been enjoying the life of a princess in the Xiao Family...” She paused and coldly finished, “But it has been twenty-three years and all this must come to an end!”
Lin Jiao was so shocked by her words that she was speechless. How could Xiao Rou, a girl who grew up in a poor countryside, know about these things?!
Mei Aiyuan, however, covered her mouth with her hands when she heard this. No wonder Lin Jiao’s parents seemed to strangely favor her over her sister. She had been wondering why. It turned out that the famous President Lin was actually not her parents’ daughter!
“Nonsense! You’re talking nonsense!” Lin Jiao growled. “Xiao Rou, you’re bullshitting. Lin Ru is my mother’s daughter, but my mother doesn’t like her, so she lived like a slave! You and Jinning were mixed up because you were unlucky. It has nothing to do with me or Jinning!”
“Really?” Tang Xi sneered. “Can a paternity test be faked? Lin Jiao, I’ve warned you not to mess with me, but your family members just didn’t take my words seriously. Your mother pushed my mom down the stairs and you called my mom to ask for money. Do you really think she’s easy to bully?”
Lin Jiao didn’t feel guilty at hearing that Lin Ru was pushed downstairs by Tao Yan. She laughed with glee instead. “Haha, that just serves her right! That’s her retribution for abandoning Jinning for you, b*tch!”
When Tang Xi heard Lin Jiao’s words, her face immediately turned cold and she said in a cold voice, “Oh, really? Then let’s see what retribution you’ll get. See? You and your family are getting retribution on the same day.”
Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn’t speak. He pulled up a chair and sat down. Seeing Lin Jiao’s ferocious face, he curled his lips and put his cellphone on the table.
A gleam of curiosity flickered across Mei Aiyuan’s eyes. What retribution? She looked at Lin Jiao. Was she referring to Lin Jiao being beaten up by her?
What Tang Xi spoke next proved that Mei Aiyuan had underestimated Lin Jiao’s family members. Tang Xi said, “Do you know that Xiao Jinning was arrested today for attempted murder and intentional injury? Do you know why? Because the last time she admitted that she stepped on my artery and almost killed me. I had to stay in the hospital for a month because of what she did. And today she bribed someone to put broken glass fragments at the set where I was shooting a TV commercial and got me injured. This is the crime of intentional injury, so she was arrested. You know that in City A, without the support of the Liu Family and the Xiao Family, Xiao Jinning is nothing, so it’s easy for me to have her arrested. This is Xiao Jinning’s retribution.
“By the way, your parents, who have been protecting you, were also arrested for attempted murder,” Tang Xi sneered. “Who else can protect you now?”
