My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 256: Are You Really My Daughter?

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Are You Really My Daughter?

He had seen plenty of family secrets among the wealthy, and issues like those of the Qiao Family were nothing new to him.

The severing of ties was the least of it, at least it hadn’t escalated to someone losing their life.

Looking at the swollen face of Mrs. Shen, tsk, that was the kind of savage blow only an enemy could deliver.

Qiao Zhenbin’s face darkened even more upon hearing this, and his breathing became rapid and short.

With Lawyer Song present, even if there was a lawsuit, he wouldn’t stand a chance at winning; instead, he’d become the laughingstock of the entire city.

"Husband, what do we do now?"

Wang Wen certainly didn’t want the news of her having been a mistress to come out. Reputation was everything among the elite. Now that Qiao Xi was no longer of any use, why keep the relationship and not sever ties?

"Are you really my daughter?" Qiao Zhenbin looked at Qiao Xi with a somewhat bewildered gaze, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

This was not a daughter, but a debt collector from hell!

Qiao Zhenbin truly regretted it all.

Qiao Xi’s smile was tinged with a hint of sarcasm, "I actually hope I’m not."

"I can sign this," Qiao Zhenbin gritted his teeth, "but I have a condition."

Shen Dang’s peach-blossom eyes revealed a hint of icy intent, "President Qiao, get this straight, the power is in our hands, you have no right to negotiate terms with us."

Shen Dang sat there, exuding the powerful aura of a formidable boss, intimidating enough to unsettle people.

He sneered, "Either sign now or see you in court. We have all the time in the world to spend, as long as you can afford it."

Qiao Zhenbin felt a momentary numbness on his scalp.

Not to mention he didn’t want to waste the money or time—wouldn’t it be better to use that time to find partners to start a company?

And he had no chance of winning against Lawyer Song.

Since Qiao Xi was of no help to him anymore and wouldn’t be again, and since she was of no use, he decided to act as if he had no such daughter!

Qiao Zhenbin was someone who knew how to weigh the situation. After making a comparison, he ultimately signed the document bearing the humiliation and burden.

As for Qiao Xi’s household registration transfer and related issues, Lawyer Song would also help get it sorted.

Qiao Nan felt it was good that Qiao Xi had severed ties; from now on, she would be the young lady of the Qiao Family, and Qiao Xi would be nothing!

Qiao Nan tilted her chin up, looking down at Qiao Xi with arrogance, "Qiao Xi, you haven’t apologized to me yet!"

Qiao Xi found her demeanor amusing and couldn’t help but laugh.

Qiao Nan exploded, "What are you laughing at?"

Qiao Xi’s laughter made her shoulders tremble lightly, "You see, you’re not pretty, yet you have such pretty thoughts."

"You..." Unable to argue, Qiao Nan instantly burst into tears, sitting on the sofa and sobbing uncontrollably.

"Enough, stop talking!" Wang Wen pulled Qiao Nan and glanced at Shen Dang; the big Buddha was right there, how could she dare to speak up?

Qiao Xi glanced at her disdainfully, unapologetically stating, "Lacking the strength you get eliminated and can’t handle the stress—faint and end up in the hospital, whose fault is that? Qiao Nan, is there something wrong with your brain, expecting me to apologize to you? Did you hallucinate from a fall last night? Only if you had ten years of cerebral thrombosis could you say something about me apologizing."

"You—" Qiao Nan, unable to retort, cried tears that flew out, and she sat on the sofa crying loud sobs.

"Stop the noise!"

Qiao Zhenbin’s head throbbed with pain as he coldly stared at Qiao Xi: "Leave now! I do not have a daughter like you!"

"I was naturally going to leave." Qiao Xi stood up, took a paper bag from her purse, pulled out a photo with a smirk on her face, "Before I go, I have a parting gift for you, the last thing I, as your daughter, can do for you. I think you have the right to know the truth."

Wang Wen eyed the photo-like object in her hand, her eyelids twitching, "What is that?"

Qiao Xi gazed at her with profound meaning, not saying a word, but laid a stack of photos onto the coffee table.

Qiao Zhenbin looked down at them, his pupils dilated, and a surge of blood rushed to his head, making him dizzy and disoriented.

Wang Wen’s face turned pale with fear, her hands frantically trying to gather the photos and prevent Qiao Zhenbin from seeing them.

With all his might, Qiao Zhenbin pushed her aside, sending Wang Wen crashing to the ground, stars in her eyes.

Qiao Zhenbin’s eyes gleamed with a cold and furious light, his face turned dark with anger as he picked up and examined each photo.

"What is this?" Qiao Zhenbin’s gaze filled with mad hatred and coldness: "Wang Wen, how dare you betray me!"

Qiao Zhenbin’s fury erupted and he directed all the rage he felt from Qiao Xi onto Wang Wen, launching into a barrage of punches and kicks.

Qiao Nan watched in shock, not understanding how things had turned so quickly; she screamed and tried to intervene, but a crazed Qiao Zhenbin shoved her, causing Qiao Nan’s head to hit the coffee table, and she fainted once again.

While this farce was unfolding, Qiao Xi had already left the Qiao home with Shen Dang.

"Lawyer Song, could you make a trip for me? I’d like to invite you for lunch if you’re free at noon."

Outside, the sun was shining bright and Qiao Xi lightly smiled with curved lips; the sun’s rays made her look radiant.

After leaving the Qiao Family, Qiao Xi felt a sense of relief.

It was as if she had shed the shackles that were binding her, experiencing a rebirth.

She thought, her mother in heaven would surely approve of her doing this.

Her mother would want her daughter to always be happy.

Lawyer Song quietly glanced at Shen Dang, a man whose emotions were never on display, inscrutable; he didn’t want to intrude, "I have urgent matters at my law firm, so I’ll be off. I’ll take care of Mrs. Shen’s matters as quickly as possible."

Qiao Xi expressed her thanks, "Thank you."

Lawyer Song nodded, "Mrs. Shen, you’re too kind. I am simply honoring a request."

Lawyer Song got into his car and drove off.

Qiao Xi slightly raised her delicate brows, her eyes showing a touch of surprise, "I didn’t expect you’d be able to bring in Lawyer Song."

Without Lawyer Song, this matter might not have been so easily resolved.

Shen Dang casually remarked, "I have investments in his law firm."

Boss Shen was well-connected and had a wide social network; this was no difficult task for him.

Qiao Xi: "..."

This man certainly had many ways to make money.

Shen Dang curled his lip, opened the car door, and nodded his chin, signaling for Qiao Xi to get in, "I’ll take you out to eat, to celebrate a bit."

Qiao Xi got into the car, and once Shen Dang was in, she looked at him intently as he buckled his seatbelt methodically, and laughed, "Boss Shen, you’ve been a big help to me today, so my treat."

Shen Dang glanced at her, his eyebrows raising slightly, "I already had Tan Garden reserve a private room."

Qiao Xi spoke without hesitation, "I can afford Tan Garden, too!"

Qiao Xi was very happy today; money meant nothing to her.

No amount of money could buy the happiness she felt today.

"Teacher Qiao is generous, then let’s go," Shen Dang said as he started the engine, and the car sped away.

They arrived at Tan Garden.

But as soon as they entered, they ran into Qu Jiashu and Tang Honghe, who were also there for a meal.

Quite the coincidence, isn’t it?

"You guys..."
