Chapter 89: Vent anger
Xu Si propped her chin up. "You get some rest and wait for me to go to the Wen Family. I’ll definitely avenge you."
But Wen Jiaojiao shook her head. "I want to take revenge myself."
No one took the matter of chopping someone seriously.
Wen Jiaojiao laid out her plan. "Tomorrow is my grandfather’s funeral. I’ll be discharged from the hospital, bring the recording pen and the police back with me, and have my second brother repeat the story of poisoning our grandfather. I’ve already had someone find the indirect evidence. If he dares to say it, we can confirm the case, and I dare to send him to prison. No matter how much money it takes, I’ll make sure he rots in jail. The family inheritance must be mine."
Heirs of powerful families all receive specialized training. Ambition to seize the family fortune isn’t considered taboo; it’s not shameful. In fact, failing to secure the inheritance is what’s truly embarrassing. Unless an heir can establish their own successful venture, growing it large and strong, they will become a subject of pity and ridicule in the public’s eye.
Xu Si blinked, watching Wen Jiaojiao regain her energy, and laughed out loud, "Good. I look forward to seeing that."
Wen Jiaojiao’s eyebrows arched. "But my third brother is a bit tricky. Asi, how long will you stay on Hong Kong Island? You’re not leaving, are you? Help me."
Xu Si nodded as a matter of course, tapping Wen Jiaojiao’s full forehead with her fingertip. "Of course, I’ll help you. I promised you before that I would watch you become the decision-maker of the Wen Family."
The friendship between the two hadn’t been built overnight. It was as rich and layered as a cream pastry, inseparable. They had promised each other to watch one another climb to greater heights and more distant horizons.
「That night.」
After repeatedly confirming Wen Jiaojiao was fine, Xu Si was finally urged by Wen Jiaojiao to return to Xu Mansion.
Butler Ge was in tears. He wasn’t oblivious to the danger. After Xu Si had received the note and disappeared for a month, he had been genuinely afraid that the sole heir of the Xu Family would lose her life.
