“If you have time, you should read more. Even if the baby is not born yet, you can still do a paternity test. It’ll just cost more money. When I was studying in Country M, I went to visit one of the leading laboratories in this field, so I roughly know what it’s about. Let’s go to Country M to do the test now,” Qiao Mei said.
“Nonsense! You must be lying to us!” Xu Ju shouted as she pointed at Qiao Mei.
“It’s very easy to verify if I’m lying or not. As for you, if you’re lying, then we’ll have to hold you accountable for slander and tarnishing our reputation! These are all jailable offenses. In the past few years, many women have brought their children to the Xia family to try and slander us while insisting that those children belong to the Xia family. I think this issue needs to be brought to the attention of the military and the government,” Qiao Mei said.
Previously, Xia Xing had been threatened by Shao Yin and Xia Zhe had almost been plotted against by He Mei. Now, it was Xia Wen’s turn. How could there be so many children fathered by the men from the Xia family?
Shi Rui and Xu Ju started to panic. Before they came, the two women had already given a lot of money to the front desk staff and security officers of Wendong Hotel so that these people would say what they were told to say. When they were asked, they would blame everything on Xia Wen.
Since Xu Ju was Xu Lan’s elder sister, she remembered Xia Xing’s incident like it just happened yesterday. She was the one who told Shi Rui about using this method. As long as the baby was not born yet, no one would be able to know for sure whose child it was. As long as Shi Ru could make use of the baby to marry into the Xia family, she could worry about the rest later.
“So be it! I’m not afraid!” Shi Rui said with a guilty conscience.
“Alright, then let’s sign the agreement. We’ll go to the police station to make a report and ask them to send someone with us. If you’re really pregnant with the Xia family’s child, then I’ll apologize to you and give you 200,000 dollars as compensation. At the same time, Xia Wen will marry you. However, if you are lying to us, what awaits you is jail time and you also have to compensate us for the mental stress you put us through,” Qiao Mei said.
Xu Ju and Shi Rui really panicked by now. They did not expect Qiao Mei to come up with something like this and were now caught between a rock and a hard place. If they agreed to go with Qiao Mei to Country M to do the test, their lie would definitely be exposed. If they refused to go to Country M, then the Xia family would doubt the authenticity of their claim and the subsequent rumors would also be very unpleasant.
“I don’t want to talk to juniors like you! I’m going to look for your mother!” After saying that, Xu Ju helped Shi Rui up and the two of them quickly left Xia Wen’s office.
Xia He chased away those other colleagues who were watching the commotion and closed the door so that they could sort out the matter.
“Eldest Brother, Aunt says that Eldest Sister-in-law will likely give birth in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. But I need to tell you that Uncle Mo seems a little angry,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Wen.
“I know that Father has been very annoyed with me recently. There are many misunderstandings between the two of us. I’ll handle this matter well. I’m sorry to have made you worried,” Xia Wen said.
“We’re a family, so there’s no need to be so polite. Let’s take the chance to discuss this since we have time now. I’m guessing that when I called you from Hu City the last time, it was Shi Rui who was in your office,” Qiao Mei said with certainty.
“Yes. That was the day she was referring to when she said she had run out looking disheveled. She rushed into my office and said some inappropriate things to me. I only reprimanded her a little and she suddenly took off her clothes. I rushed out of the office immediately and ignored her but I’m not sure what happened after that,” Xia Wen said.
Xia He said angrily, “How can this woman be so shameless! Doesn’t Eldest Aunt care about our mother’s feelings at all? If they kick up a fuss at our house, our mother will definitely be very sad.”
“Let’s take it one step at a time. The most important thing now is for Eldest Sister-in-law to give birth.” Qiao Mei thought for a moment and said in a panic, “Oh no! What if they go to the hospital!”
The three of them rushed to the hospital in their cars. Fortunately, Xu Ju did not have this idea today. However, no one knew what sort of nasty things the two women could do in the next few days.
Qiao Mei went to look for Yao Nian and asked him to help her investigate who Shi Rui had been in contact with recently. Shi Rui was really pregnant and Qiao Mei had already seen the medical report. However, she was more interested to know who the father of the baby was.
How could Shi Rui have slept with a man and become pregnant in such a short period of time? Could it be that Shi Rui was really willing to do anything in order to marry into the Xia family?
