Mr Gu’s First Doting Marriage
Chapter 1141 - Chapter 1141 Chapter 1145 Scapegoat

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1145: Scapegoat Chapter 1141: Chapter 1145: Scapegoat Xi Zijun sat in front of a quiet floor-to-ceiling window.

The table still held a laptop.

She was a busy person, still handling official business in her free time.

Xi Zijun still wore a sharp black suit.

But she used to have shoulder-length hair, which she had now cut short.

She looked even more brisk and neat.

Her makeup was in deep, cold tones, which made her look powerful at a glance.

Xia Yangyang suddenly thought of the first time she met Xi Zijun a few years ago.

The scene seemed just the same as now.

She sat there alone, working on her laptop, looking calm and capable, exuding an air of elitism.

Xia Yangyang had always admired such people.

She had always wanted to become such a person.

But during those years abroad,

Xia Yangyang had become very independent.

However, compared to someone like Xi Zijun, she still fell far short.

Upon reflection, she realized she could never be the person Xi Zijun was,

preferring instead the warmth of reality.

Xia Yangyang walked in and approached her.

Seeing Xia Yangyang approaching, Xi Zijun politely stood up and greeted her, “Miss Xia, very punctual.”

Xia Yangyang smiled, “Every time, you’re earlier than me.”

“What would Miss Xia like to drink?”

Xi Zijun passed the menu over.

Xia Yangyang didn’t order coffee but casually ordered a glass of orange juice.

Xia Yangyang said, “Miss Xi, let’s get straight to the point. Why did you call me here today, and what do you mean by ‘new evidence’?”

Xi Zijun began, “I know you despise my father, wishing him an eternal lack of peace; I feel the same, I hate him too. I absolutely cannot understand why he preferred living off others rather than striving himself. He spent half his life fluttering among women, betraying my mother and destroying my illusions of marriage. Yet, he is ultimately my father, and as his daughter, I cannot watch him grow old and die surrounded by high walls with no sunlight.”

Xia Yangyang managed to keep her composure, “Mr. Xi has committed crimes and deserves the corresponding punishment. Even as his child, you should not challenge the legal boundaries for your own benefit. There’s an old saying in China that the ‘net of heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through.’ Bad deeds deserve punishment; that’s the order in my inner world.”

Xia Yangyang’s words were loaded, and Xi Zijun could clearly understand.

Originally, because Xi Jiaxin had hired someone to murder her father and was sentenced to six years in prison,

Xi Jiaxin had not been jailed long, when Xi Zijun found someone to exonerate him and release him.

At that time, Xi Zijun had said similar things, stating everyone had their standpoint and capabilities.

Xia Yangyang was actually mocking that incident.

Back then, Xia Yangyang also said she would ensure Xi Jiaxin returned to prison.

Unexpectedly, it ended up happening in such a way.

Xi Zijun said, “My father committed crimes, but he should not suffer for others, nor should he be a scapegoat, letting the real criminal escape. Miss Xia, you are a journalist, always seeking the truth. Don’t you want to find out the reality of that botched drug trafficking case?”

Xia Yangyang furrowed her brows.

This matter did strike a chord with Xia Yangyang.

Indeed, that mishandled drug trafficking case had always been like a thorn in Xia Yangyang’s heart.

Every time she thought about it, it felt like a fishbone in her throat, a thorn in her side.
