1330 Throwing The Evidence In His Face
It was not strange that Xia Ji was Xia Mengyan’s father, but the second report made everyone dumbfounded.
Xia Lan and Xia Mengyan were confirmed to be mother and daughter.
The two paternity test reports were stamped with the seals of several appraisers. Most importantly, the tests came from the most authoritative organization—the Medical Association.
Everyone looked at Xia Ji and Xia Lan in shock.
Xia Ji’s face was pale. His mind buzzed as if something had exploded in his ears.
Xia Cheng, who had always been calm, also changed his expression. Xia Lan shouted agitatedly, “No! This isn’t true. This is slander!”
Xia Mengyan was stunned on the spot. Her body was as cold as a corpse, and her heart seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow. She could not help but tremble as tears welled up in her eyes.
Xia Lan seemed to have gone mad as she rushed over to tear up the reports. “This is fake! Gu Zheng is so rich. It’s very easy for him to fake a paternity test report! He must’ve faked it!”
Qiao Xi glanced at Xia Lan with disdain. She had long known that Xia Lan would say such things. As long as Gu Zheng took out evidence, Xia Lan would say that Gu Zheng was relying on his wealth and power to forge evidence, so the evidence he brought out was invalid.
Gu Zheng chuckled. “Looks like you’re very experienced, Madam Xia! You actually know that the report is fake without even looking.”
Xia Lan was already in a state of collapse and did not understand what Gu Zheng meant. She thought that he had admitted that the paternity test report was fake, but the rest of the Xia family understood. Gu Zheng knew that Xia Lan had forged Qiao Xi’s paternity test back then and pretended to be Qiao Xi’s mother. Hence, Gu Zheng would not let the person who forged the paternity test report for her off, much less the Xia family.
Xia Cheng forced himself to calm down. “President Gu, Lan’er did something stupid in a moment of confusion back then, but it was all for Xi Xi! She knew that Xi Xi doesn’t have parents, so she wanted to give her a warm home. You have to understand a mother’s heart.”
The servants could not help but reveal disdainful expressions. Xia Cheng probably did not believe it himself, but he still said indifferently, “Lan’er did forge a paternity test to prove that Qiao Xi was her daughter. Since our Xia family could easily do it, I believe you could also forge a paternity test, right?”
Everyone gasped. How did Xia Cheng have the cheek to say that?
“In that case, if I can’t produce any other evidence, you won’t admit it.” Gu Zheng’s tone was indifferent.
Xia Cheng’s expression suddenly changed as he had a bad feeling.
Then, Song Shijing took a few steps forward. “Chairman Xia, our president means that it’s better for you to admit it yourself than for us to throw the evidence in your face. However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shijing handed the documents to Xia Cheng. “This is the time Madam Xia Lan was pregnant and gave birth. Back then, after Madam Xia Lan gave birth, her daughter went missing while Mr. Xia Ji suddenly had another daughter.”
Xia Ji immediately defended himself. “My wife and Lan’er got pregnant at the same time. It’s just that they didn’t say anything at that time.”
Song Shijing glanced at him and smiled disdainfully. “After Madam Xia got pregnant, she suddenly disappeared for a period of time. Then, news of her pregnancy spread. She gave birth to another child, but this time, it was a fake pregnancy. Her goal was to confuse others about Xia Mengyan’s time of birth. Didn’t Madam Xia do all that just to cover up this big secret?”
Xia Ji flew into a rage. “Nonsense! This is all a guess. How can it be considered evidence?”
Song Shijing said, “It’s indeed a guess, but Mr. Xia, my guess is based on the clues. Won’t your actions arouse suspicion?”
Xia Ji broke down and shouted, “Are you crazy?! Lan’er and I are biological siblings. How could we have a child together? If you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll call the police!”
At this moment, when Ai Sumei saw that her son was being bullied, she did not care about her image anymore. She sat on the floor and wailed like a shrew in the market. “Oh my! My poor child! He’s actually being slandered like this! Can the president of Gu Corporation ruin the reputations of others like this? Aren’t you forcing my stepson and Lan’er to their deaths? The siblings are indeed close, but it’s definitely not what you say…”
Xia Mengyan, who was at the side, also cried and said, “Xi Xi, I don’t mind how you treat me, but you can’t slander my father and aunt! The Xia family is already in such a difficult situation. Are you really going to force us to their deaths?”
