Chapter 378 - 377: I Have Evidence (2)
Xia Zhengxiong’s hand secretly clenched into a fist, cold sweat unconsciously seeping from his forehead.The guarantee contract.
Indeed... he had signed such a guarantee contract with Mr. Xia in the past.
How could Xia Xiyan know about it in such detail?
Seeing Xiyan remain silent, Yang Shurong was exceedingly pleased with herself. "What’s the matter? Asking you to produce evidence has left you speechless, hasn’t it? Weren’t you acting so bold just now?"
Xia Shiyi supported her mother as she observed Xiyan’s slightly pursed red lips, her heart filled with Schadenfreude.
She turned her head to look at Ou Jue. "Young Master Ou, you saw that, didn’t you? Xia Xiyan is utterly full of nonsense. She’s always been incredibly cunning. Girls like her love to pretend to be pitiful and say some lies to win sympathy. You mustn’t let her deceive you!"
Ou Jue’s sharply defined face remained utterly calm, his tone light and casual. "So what? I’m willing to be deceived by her, even for a lifetime."
Xia Shiyi was rendered speechless, choking on her words, with an expression of utter defeat.
Xiyan’s red lips parted slightly, her voice measured and deliberate, "I have evidence."
Pfft, still pretending?
Yang Shurong’s face was full of disdain. "Then bring it out! If you have the ability, prove what you’re saying. Otherwise, get out quickly! I’ll say it again, this is a society governed by law. Don’t think that just because Young Master Ou is supporting you, you can act with impunity!"
What kind of evidence could Xia Xiyan possibly have?
The only person directly connected to the events from over a decade ago was her mother — the half-dead, vegetative woman.
Don’t tell me a vegetative woman can jump out and testify?
That would be downright ridiculous!
But just then, a figure entered the room, supported by several people. Her voice was weak, yet carried an undeniable authority. "You want evidence, right? I am the evidence!"
Everyone turned their heads—
A well-dressed middle-aged woman was being escorted in by An Ran and Chi Cheng.
She was dressed elegantly, her hair completely pulled back into a bun. Although her complexion was somewhat pale, her dignified and graceful manner added a touch of noble air to her presence.
Even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, revealing the passage of time, could not erase the sense of allure that hinted at the stunning beauty she must have possessed in her youth.
On closer inspection, her features bore an uncanny resemblance to Xiyan’s.
Xia Zhengxiong was completely stunned.
It’s... Xiyan’s mother, Xia Zhiyun!
"Ah—"
Yang Shurong, realizing what had happened, collapsed onto the ground, her entire body trembling. She stared at Xia Zhiyun in disbelief. "Y-you, where did you come from? Are you human, or are you a ghost?!"
Xia Zhiyun had unmistakably been a vegetative patient.
She was supposed to never wake up again!
Then who is the woman standing before them now?!!
