"I also saw her pinching red marks onto her own body, threatening my dad that if he didn't submit to her, she would publicly claim that he raped her!"
As soon as Xia Zhi said this, an uproar erupted all around.
The Civil Affairs Bureau staff, who were originally working, all gathered around to watch the drama unfold.
My goodness!
How could there be such an intolerable, venomous woman in this world?
Even if Xia Zhi's father was an adopted son, he was still her older brother. How could she completely disregard all sense of shame, decency, and moral ethics?
To think that such a piece of trash was actually a famous female entrepreneur in Ye City, a deeply respected and filial daughter!
Bah!
They really wanted to spit on her.
Seeing the change in everyone's expressions as they looked at her, a flash of panic crossed Xia Qiuzhi's eyes, and her breathing grew a bit heavier.
She never expected that Xia Zhi's memories from when she was four years old could actually be restored.
That little slut, she had truly underestimated her!
"Zhizhi, what good does slandering your aunt do for you? Are you trying to inherit all of the Xia family's assets in the future?"
As soon as Xia Qiuzhi spoke, Old Madam Xia glared at Xia Zhi with uncontrollable fury.
"Our Xia family has actually raised an ungrateful wretch! When you fell down the stairs at four years old, it was your aunt who took you to the hospital. She took care of you day and night for two evenings, and later devoted herself entirely to handling your father's funeral. It's bad enough that you're not grateful, but you actually turn around and bite the hand that fed you!"
Thinking of her father's tragic death, Xia Zhi's eyes blurred with tears, her long eyelashes trembling violently.
"My dad refused to be seduced by her and was slandered by her instead. He was so angry that he had a heart attack. He took his medicine out of the drawer, but his fingers were trembling so much that he couldn't hold it steadily, and the medicine fell to the floor."
"I wanted to go in and pick up the medicine for my dad, but Xia Qiuzhi kicked it away and held me tightly. I couldn't break free. I could only watch helplessly as my dad collapsed on the floor and slowly stopped breathing."
"Not only that, but Xia Qiuzhi was afraid I would tell someone about this, so she pushed me down the stairs. I passed out on the spot. When I woke up later, I couldn't remember how my dad died."
"That year, she must have found someone to hypnotize me and seal away that memory. She is not my aunt; she is a venomous viper!"
All the onlookers watching the drama were infuriated to the extreme.
"A woman's heart can be the most poisonous of all. Xia Qiuzhi is terrifying!"
"The good die young, while the wicked live for a thousand years!"
"People like her will go down to the eighteenth level of hell when they die!"
Xia Qiuzhi's hands and feet went cold, and her back was drenched in sweat. Forcing down her inner panic, she said with red eyes, "Xia Zhi, are you just relying on the Si family's backing to make things up and slander your aunt? You say I killed your father, but do you have any evidence?"
At this point, Xia Qiuzhi quickly calmed down.
Right, Xia Zhi had absolutely no evidence.
After Xia Zhi's father died back then, the forensic doctor had even performed an autopsy.
He died purely from a heart attack.
Did Xia Zhi have any evidence that she was the one who kicked the medicine bottle away?
She was only four years old at the time. Even in front of a judge, they couldn't convict her based solely on her one-sided story!
Xia Qiuzhi immediately became emboldened and fearless.
"Mom, I think Xia Zhi is trying to pin a crime on me so that you'll be left without any descendants!"
Old Madam Xia only had one daughter, Xia Qiuzhi, and usually treated her as preciously as her own eyeballs.
With Xia Zhi slandering her like this, the anger in Old Madam Xia's chest instantly skyrocketed to its peak.
She opened the thermos cup in her hand and viciously threw the boiling hot tea inside right at Xia Zhi's face.
Seeing this, Si Luochen quickly stepped in front of Xia Zhi to shield her.
The boiling hot tea from the thermos splashed all over Si Luochen.
"Little Beggar, are you alright?" Xia Zhi asked nervously.
Si Luochen was wearing thick clothes, so he wasn't burned.
He shook his head, then picked up the kitchen knife from the ground and cast a cold, dark glare at Old Madam Xia.
Old Madam Xia stiffened her neck. "What, do you dare to chop me up? The person you are protecting right now is a jinx. Both of her parents were cursed to death by her!"
Wen Yan looked at Old Madam Xia, who looked as if she wished she could tear Xia Zhi into a million pieces, and a cold sneer tugged at the corners of her lips.
[This damned old woman is truly stupid to the extreme. Does she even know that her biological daughter is actually—]
Just as Wen Yan was enjoying the gossip in her drama-watching system, she was suddenly attracted by another juicy piece of news.
[Hahaha, interesting, so interesting. Something this explosive, I have to expose it.]
The hearts of the Si family members were sent on a roller coaster ride by Wen Yan.
Especially Old Master Si.
What was this about the damned old woman's biological daughter?
Could it be that Xia Qiuzhi, whom that old hag Xia treated like the apple of her eye, wasn't her biological child?
Eldest granddaughter-in-law, hurry up and expose it!
Si Moyan, Si Jingyi, Si Yanli, Si Luochen, and Si Youyou were all staring at Wen Yan as well.
Wen Yan's attention wasn't on them.
She took out her phone and sent out a few messages.
Right after that, she contacted Reporter Wang.
Upon receiving Wen Yan's message and learning that there was more massive drama involving a wealthy family, Reporter Wang immediately drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau and laid in ambush in an inconspicuous spot outside.
Old Madam Xia stood by Xia Qiuzhi's side, fiercely defending her. "Our Qiuzhi has done countless charitable deeds over the years. She donates tens of millions every year. She has funded over a dozen Hope Primary Schools, and even the library next to your Civil Affairs Bureau was donated by our Qiuzhi."
As soon as Old Madam Xia said this, a staff member immediately stepped forward and said:
"President Xia has indeed done a lot of charity work. She couldn't possibly do something like that to her own older brother."
"Xia Zhi was only four years old back then. What kind of memory could a four-year-old have? Making such baseless claims, she probably just wants to embezzle all of the Xia family's property, so she's using this to slander and spread rumors about her aunt!"
"At such a young age, her intentions are truly malicious!"
Xia Zhi's face turned pale and then green. She kept shaking her head. "I'm not lying..."
However, apart from the Si family, no one else believed her anymore.
After all, she had no substantial evidence.
A cold and malicious smile curled the corners of Xia Qiuzhi's mouth.
"Zhizhi, Aunt won't hold your slander against you. If you are still willing to get your marriage certificate with Zhou Xuyan today, our Xia family will still acknowledge you. If you are not willing, then you don't ever need to return to the Xia family again."
Xia Zhi rolled up her sleeves, exposing countless cigarette burn marks and scratches from knives and forks on her slender, snow-white arms.
"Making me marry a man who bullied me, what are your real intentions?"
Wen Yan stepped forward. "Moreover, this very morning at Old Madam Xia's banquet, this man rolled in the sheets with Xia Zhi's aunt and uncle separately!"
"After the media exposed it, I saved the videos. Add me if you want me to share them!"
The drama-watching crowd immediately pulled out their phones. "I need you to share them. Hurry, hurry, I want to add you."
Wen Yan pulled the onlookers into a small group chat and then sent the videos.
"This shatters my worldview! It burns my eyes!"
"Seeing these videos, I am doubting this aunt's motives again."
"Perhaps Xia Zhi's father really was killed by her back then."
Seeing the tide turn so quickly, Xia Qiuzhi glared at Wen Yan in humiliated fury.
