Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 635: Who Betrayed Whom?

Perhaps evildoers often have smooth sailing, after all, with their vicious hearts, good people can hardly prevail over them.

Therefore, Zhong Daqiao’s endurance was indeed lacking.

He was exhausted and, combined with excessive stimulation, finally fainted away. It was fortunate that the rescue was timely.

Only then did Xue Meirou and Zhong Tianci realize that if something really happened to Zhong Daqiao, the two of them, even if they were joined by Chen Youcai, might not be able to fight against Song Yunuan and Hai Shaoqing.

Even with this realization, there was no possibility for the three of them to return to how things were before.

Zhong Daqiao was very wary of Xue Meirong and Zhong Tianci. After letting them see him in the hospital room, he kicked them out and called in the bodyguard captain.

The bodyguard captain was very loyal to Zhong Daqiao. It was Zhong Daqiao who had spent money to settle his troubles in the past, saving his life and then taking care of his family.

So he had been following Zhong Daqiao up to now.

He arranged the hospital room perfectly and even boosted the security measures.

But Zhong Daqiao waved his hand at him and, in a weakened voice, spoke to the bodyguard captain, "Just keep an eye on Xue Meirou and Zhong Tianci. And... if Chen Youcai comes, make sure to stop him outside. I can’t have the three of them here. As for Song Yunuan and Hai Shaoqing... those two won’t make a move in the dark. They want me alive because they haven’t achieved their goal yet. Haven’t you noticed that all the medicine I’ve used are... not for sale to the public?"

If that’s what Zhong Daqiao said, then the bodyguard captain understood.

He only needed to guard against those three people. As for Song Yunuan and Hai Shaoqing, there was no need to worry because they wouldn’t let go until they saw Zhong Daqiao down and out, penniless, receiving the retribution he deserved.

If they killed him now, in their eyes, that would be letting him off easy.

With this thought, the bodyguard captain relaxed. If Song Yunuan got involved, then his security would be even less of a problem.

Xue Meirou and Zhong Tianci realized they couldn’t enter the hospital room because Zhong Daqiao was guarding against them. freewēbnoveℓ.com

And now, the important thing was that the jewelry and cash were gone.

Zhong Tianci could not find Kai Lin, nor could he find Wang Jiasheng.

He had realized earlier that what Zhong Daqiao said was true.

But now, it was too late. Those two people were definitely under someone else’s control.

So now the only thing he owned was the overseas electronic technology company.

Fortunately, that was in Mr. Chen’s hands.

But every time Zhong Tianci thought of Mr. Chen, he felt uncomfortable, an indescribable feeling.

Facing Mr. Chen was even more distasteful to him than facing Zhong Daqiao.

He didn’t want to know what had really happened back then.

But human hearts are unpredictable, as was evident from Zhong Daqiao, and the same was true for both of them.

So, Zhong Tianci suddenly asked Xue Meirou, "Mommy, are you still in contact with Mr. Chen?"

Xue Meirou’s face changed, but since it was just the two of them in the villa, she nodded quite naturally.

"Everything is normal over there, don’t worry."

Zhong Tianci looked at Xue Meirou with a sneer, "Mommy, can’t you see what’s been happening recently? The human heart is unpredictable, and Mr. Chen is no exception.

Now we have nothing left except for this villa and the electronics technology company, plus a few cards.

"If Chen Youcai wants to take control of the electronics technology company, not transferring a penny to your account nor letting you take over, Mommy, the electronics technology company will really all become Chen Youcai’s."

Xue Meirou paused, but after thinking it over, she assured Zhong Tianci with certainty, "You are his only son, he likes you very much, and taking over is for your benefit; you don’t need to doubt him."

Zhong Tianci sneered with disdain, "Mommy, people change, just look at the situation with our family to know there is nothing unchangeable. I think it’s best for the electronics technology company to be in Mommy’s hands."

He then deliberately emphasized that having control oneself is better than anyone else having it. Only what’s in one’s own hands is the most secure. Otherwise, once Hai Shaoqing truly grows powerful and they have nothing, they will be truly at a dead end.

Xue Meirou’s face darkened, and she did not immediately argue back, because she felt that Zhong Tianci made sense.

Zhong Tianci then pointed at the villa, "This is the Hai family’s villa. Even if we renovated it and expanded it several times over, it’s still on Hai family’s territory. You tell me, could Hai Shaoqing really give up such prime land?

"Don’t forget, real estate in Xiangjiang is continuously on the rise. Is Hai Shaoqing able to swallow this bitter pill? Just by looking at his ruthless demeanor during the press conference, it’s clear he doesn’t care about Zhong Daqiao, his biological father, so, how could he care about the two of us, who are not even related by blood?"

Only then did Xue Meirou start to panic.

If it was as her son said, Chen Youcai was their only way out. If something went wrong with this option, both mother and son would be truly finished.

Then Xue Meirou called Chen Youcai.

She did not expect at all that the call would be answered by a woman, with a very tender voice, "Who is this? Mr. Chen has had too much to drink. He’s resting and said no one should disturb him. If it’s important, please call back tomorrow morning."

The call quality of Dongfang Hong was quite good, and from the phone one could clearly hear several muffled mumbling voices.

After all these years, Xue Meirou could tell right away that it was Chen Youcai.

Xue Meirou’s face underwent a drastic change, her hands trembling, rage surging in her heart, ready to scream furiously, but the other party clicked off, ending the call.

Calls to the phone again only resulted in it being turned off.

Calls to the company also went unanswered.

Zhong Tianci’s face was equally grim.

He kicked the coffee table to the ground fiercely, then put his hands on his hips and accused Xue Meirou, "Look, look, I told you the human heart is unpredictable. Alone in Country X, and with his kind of temperament, how could he possibly withstand loneliness? Why couldn’t he find a woman?

"He’s been overseas often these past years, do you know how many women he’s had? Maybe he’s even fathered illegitimate children. Yet you naïvely went along with my dad’s suggestion to transfer the tech company into Chen Youcai’s name.

"My dad was foolish, too, really took your advice, but I think this is like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone forever."

Then, recalling something, he suddenly laughed at himself sarcastically, jeering, "I made a mistake just now. His children are not illegitimate sons and daughters now. According to the current situation, it’s me who is the illegitimate child, isn’t it?"

Defeated, Xue Meirou sat on the sofa, her hands clasped together, trying hard to calm herself down.

Zhong Tianci kept on talking incessantly beside her ear until she yelled at him to shut up. He stopped talking then, sitting on the other end of the sofa with a livid face.

Several words emerged in Xue Meirou’s mind, which were, it’s over, all over.

Chen Youcai had indeed betrayed her.

Xue Meirou didn’t even dare tell her son that she had informed Chen Youcai about their jewelry and cash disappearing without a trace.

She had also told Chen Youcai to run the electronics company well, as it was now their only asset.
