287: Chapter 287: The Scheming Bitch!

In the hospital room.

Wu Jie walked in, and Xu Xinyi immediately stood up.

“Why are you here?”

“Just curious,” Wu Jie replied.

He peeked at Xu Changshan lying on the hospital bed, motionless.

Clad with a breathing mask and wrapped in multiple bandages.

The heart rate, blood pressure, and other data all looked normal; it seemed he wouldn’t die after all.

“Following your advice, after moving my dad to this hospital, a few days of treatment have already cured his stomach and bone pains!”

“His external injuries are also healing gradually.

I thought he could be discharged in a couple of days, but then someone poisoned him, almost costing him his life!”

“But even if his life was spared, what of it?

He has been in a deep coma, never waking up; he might end up a vegetable!”

Xu Xinyi said with a low voice, standing to the side.

Wu Jie nodded slightly and curiously asked, “Why are you here alone?

What about your stepmother?

If she’s not coming, then bodyguards, lawyers, relatives, and such, someone should be here with you, right?”

“I chased them all away!”

Xu Xinyi spoke through gritted teeth: “With Mu En poisoning us from the outside to steal our turf, and internal disunity over dividing the inheritance, we’re facing troubles both inside and out.

So I told them all to get lost; it’s more peaceful to keep watch by myself.”

A few days apart, and Xu Xinyi seemed to have matured a lot after the ordeal.

Her past capriciousness and arrogance were because she had Xu Changshan’s support.

But now that Xu Changshan had become incapacitated, with everyone busy fighting over their interests, who would still treat her as the prized daughter?

The Xu Family of Tianyuan, ruined!

Wu Jie was less than twenty thousand energy points from completing his mission.

He had thought he’d make a killing this time, but then there was this father and daughter…

One in a coma, the other in despair.

“Without ruthlessness, one can’t stand firm!”

Wu Jie offered some sincere advice: “If you want good days ahead, you must toughen up and fight for the inheritance.

Otherwise, with no skills of your own, do you want to starve to death on the streets?”

Xu Xinyi shrugged her shoulders and laughed: “It doesn’t matter!

Before my dad was poisoned, he’d already authorized Lawyer Wang to secretly transfer overseas accounts, stocks, properties, and the like to me.

They’re all fighting over just the family industry.”

“Crap!”

Wu Jie sneered, “Turns out you’re already a wealthy woman!”

Xu Xinyi gave a sly smile:

“That’s why I have to play the role of the dutiful daughter!

If I were to fight for the inheritance, I’d be branded undutiful and give others leverage against me.”

“By staying by my father’s side, showing filial piety without fighting, they’ll have to leave me something.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense, either emotionally or rationally!”

Wu Jie gave a thumbs up.

“Cunning and deviously clever!”

Xu Xinyi smiled faintly, “What’s cunning?

I’m more curious, didn’t my dad put a bounty of ten million gold coins on your head?

You must have encountered assassination attempts these past days, right?”

Wu Jie snorted, “Your Aunt Xu Juan, didn’t she arrange someone to poison me?

She even led international assassins to me!”

“The fact that you are still alive now is quite an achievement!” Xu Xinyi laughed: “But don’t worry, once the inheritance is divided, I’ll cancel the hit immediately.

I don’t want to spend so much money to have you killed when we have no grudge.

That would be too unreasonable!”

Wu Jie forced a smile: “You’re not even fulfilling your father’s dying wish?”

“What dying wish?

I’m not superstitious.

People are dead, how would he know if his wishes are fulfilled or not?”

“Besides, even if I were superstitious, he has committed so many evils in his life, he’s bound for hell after death anyway, why should I add to the wickedness?”

Xu Xinyi stated firmly, with a rather haughty tone.

Such remarks made Wu Jie’s moral compass shatter, feeling as if his ‘integrity was in pieces on the floor.’

“Damn impressive!” Wu Jie clicked his tongue in admiration: “If you quietly took out your dad, for the good of the people, I’d respect you even more!”

Xu Xinyi’s eyebrows raised, seemingly tempted.

She stepped forward and whispered:

“Do you have any good ideas?

It has to be untraceable, I don’t want to be accused of murdering my own father!”

Wu Jie asked, “Do you have a villa?”

“Of course!

But why the sudden question?” Xu Xinyi was quite puzzled.

Wu Jie sneered, “Us country folks, when we work the fields, use paraquat to weed.

It’s neat and harmless—just that humans and animals can’t ingest it, or else there’s no saving them.

If your villa has some weeds that can’t be gotten rid of, you might want to consider it!”

Xu Xinyi was startled but quickly understood.

“If you don’t remove the roots when you cut the grass, the spring breeze will just bring it back to life!

My family’s villa has too many weeds, it’s time to take good care of them!”

A wicked smile, filled with a heart-palpitating malice.

In comparison to Xu Changshan, Xu Xinyi really was ‘the student surpassing the master’!

After a hasty farewell, Wu Jie left the hospital ward, getting away from the scheming bitch!

He hadn’t gone very far when Tang Xiao quickly followed.

“Why did you stay in there so long?

How is he?”

“He won’t die, but he’s close to death!” Wu Jie glanced sideways, “Why do I feel that women, when they become ruthless, are actually scarier than men?”

“That’s why the ancients said, ‘the hearts of women are most poisonous’!” Tang Xiao replied with a playful laugh.

Wu Jie rolled his eyes.

That statement really hit the nail on the head!

“What’s that look for?

Are you still mad at me for misspeaking?” Tang Xiao pouted and said, “Actually, I wasn’t really letting the cat out of the bag, was I?

I didn’t say your medical skills were excellent, that you could even heal my old injuries!”

Wu Jie retorted, “But it’s still dangerous!

Weren’t you the Special Forces King before?

How can your sense of confidentiality be so poor?”

“I simply wanted to see if you could help with Kong Heng’s injuries!

But you?

You almost caused a huge problem!”

“What problem?

I merely spoke the truth; are they going to take revenge for that?”

Wu Jie snorted coldly,

“If it really comes down to a clash, I’m not afraid of them.

I haven’t done or said anything wrong.

If it really blows up, it will be their downfall, not mine!”

“But what about you?

I feel like you’re always siding with the Kong Family, afraid of offending Kong Hailin, and you show quite a bit of reverence towards them.

Where’s your arrogant CEO demeanor?”

Tang Xiao sighed,

“I’m not biased towards the Kong Family, nor do I revere them; it’s just respect.

They are elders and have a deep relationship with the Tang Family.

Moreover, when I was seriously injured and trapped, it was Sir Kong who ordered my rescue at all costs.”

“If it wasn’t for the timely support, the bombing disruption, the quick air transport to Liuli City…

Pang Juan and I would have lost our lives long ago.

That’s why I agreed to his request, to bring you to spar with Kong Heng; I didn’t expect it to turn out like this!”

Wu Jie smiled faintly.

“Alright!

Let’s put an end to this matter; neither of us should blame the other!”

Tang Xiao quickly asked, “Can you actually save Kong Heng?

I don’t ask you to save him, I’m just curious!”

“Save my ass!

Do you think I’m a god?”

“But you were able to cure me, and my old injury was a world-class medical problem!”

“But you’re my wife; no matter the cost, I wanted to cure you.

But him?

He’s barely worth a fart!”

After dropping that line, Wu Jie walked several steps away, then suddenly turned back to see Tang Xiao standing there, stunned.

“Let’s go!

It’s time to head back to the hotel and get ready for the evening party!”

Tang Xiao stared blankly at Wu Jie and cursed,

“I’ve never heard anyone talk about love like you do; it’s truly chilling!”

“Haha!

Touched, aren’t you?

Feel like crying, huh?

Come on, get into big brother’s arms!”

Wu Jie spread his arms wide, with a teasing smile on his face.

“Get lost!!”

Tang Xiao shouted angrily and quickly walked to the Mercedes-Benz.

Once inside the car, without another word, Wu Jie took Tang Xiao’s hand.

“What are you doing?” Tang Xiao immediately broke free, asking warily.

Wu Jie said with a smile, “I was thinking, what kind of care must a woman take to have hands like yours?”

“Are you talking about Bai Fengling?” Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow and laughed, “What, just because you talked business, you fell for her?”

“Jealous?”

“Get lost!

I’m so pissed, stay away from me!”

Tang Xiao yanked her hand back forcefully and moved to the side.

Just as Wu Jie was about to lean in, his phone suddenly rang; it was Xu Feng calling.

“Mr.

Wu, where are you?

I’ll be at the hotel shortly; let’s find a place to sit and have a chat, huh?”

“Chat my ass!

Mu En could kill you anytime, and you want to drag me into your funeral?”
