266 Pa.s.sing off the Fake as the Real
Xia Chun looked around and continued in a low voice when she saw no one, “Aren’t we still short of money? Why don’t we bribe the doctors in the hospital and put the child on Xiang Cheng’s head? First use this child to settle the marriage issue between Xue and Xiang Cheng. Then find a time to secretly make her suffer an accidental miscarriage. Wouldn’t that make it so that no one would know? No one will know that this child is not Xiang Cheng’s.”
Jiang Lun knew that the Xiang family wasn’t that easy to fool, but Xia Chun’s words could indeed solve the immediate problem. Perhaps he could even extort more money from the Xiang family.
Jiang Lun pondered for a moment and nodded. “I still have some money. I’ll go get the bribe ready in a while. You should think about how to make Xue abort the child. It’s best if it’s caused by the Xiang family so that we won’t be blamed.”
Xia Chun looked at Jiang Lun and nodded with a serious expression.
After the two of them left, a person appeared around the corner. It was Su Ni, who had come to the hospital to visit her sick mother.
Ever since Su Ni and Jiang Xue fell out, Su Ni’s home life wasn’t good at all. The family blamed the Su family’s decline on Su Ni’s provocation of Jiang Xue.
Su Ni knew that her family was the first to fall because she had offended Shen Xi. However, Jiang Xue was the one who destroyed the Su family later on. Jiang Xue had brazenly given Liu Cheng’s family some of her family’s projects via the Xiang family. These had been their remaining sources of income.
Moreover, Jiang Xue had hinted at Liu Cheng to get others to bully and isolate her. So, Su Ni both feared and hated Jiang Xue.
Su Ni had tried to go against her own will to grovel and try to please Jiang Xue, but Jiang Xue was vengeful and humiliated her each time.
That was why Su Ni had been avoiding Jiang Xue.
Su Yue didn’t expect the Jiang family to go bankrupt one day. She also didn’t expect that she would hear such shocking news while coming to visit her stricken mother. Jiang Xue had actually cheated on Xiang Cheng and wanted him to be the father to someone else’s child.
When Xia Chun returned to Jiang Xue’s ward, she changed her att.i.tude and said to Jiang Xue, “Xue, Mom and Dad were muddleheaded earlier. We won’t abort the child. You’re right, as long as the child is born, you can have as many millions as you want.”
When Jiang Xue heard Xia Chun’s words, although she was still somewhat on guard, she wasn’t as wary of Xia Chun as before. “Mom, Dad, it’s good that you’ve thought it through. Don’t be so muddleheaded in future.”
Xia Chun forced a smile and nodded at Jiang Xue.
When Xiang Tian came over with w.a.n.g Yue, he only saw Xiang Cheng pacing at the entrance of the hospital.
Xiang Cheng called out in softly, feeling guilty, “Dad.”
Xiang Tian looked at his disappointing son and gave him a tight slap. He scolded in a low voice, “How did I bring a stupid son like you into this world! I’ve finally settled the matter between you and Jiang Xue. Why did you provoke her again? With such publicity, can’t you just stay away from Jiang Xue?”
Xiang Cheng mumbled in dissatisfaction. He was the dignified successor of the Xiang family, why should he be afraid of Jiang Xue, the daughter of a bankrupt family?
“Later on, you’d better stand aside obediently and let your father settle this,” w.a.n.g Yue also said helplessly.
Xiang Tian took w.a.n.g Yue and Xiang Cheng to Jiang Xue’s ward, thinking that he could settle the matter with some money.
“President Xiang, some things can’t be resolved with just this little bit of money,” Jiang Lun said leisurely as he sat on a chair in the ward.
“What do you mean by that?” Xiang Tian looked at Jiang Lun with a frown, wondering if Jiang Lun was going to go back on his word.
Xia Chun looked worried as she said to Mr. and Mrs. Xiang in a strange tone, “Xue is pregnant, and it’s Xiang Cheng’s. How do we resolve this?”
“What?” The three members of the Xiang family looked at Jiang Xue in shock.
When she met the eyes of the Xiang family, Jiang Xue immediately looked down at her belly shyly. Her white hands gently rubbed her barely-visible pregnant belly.
Xiang Cheng felt that the situation was too unbelievable and said in disbelief, “That’s impossible, right? Jiang Xue and I only did it once. It can’t be such a coincidence, right?”
Xiang Tian ruthlessly slapped Xiang Cheng and shouted,”You b******!”
w.a.n.g Yue immediately held her son who had almost been beaten to the ground. She was also furious. They had been about to shake off the Jiang family, but now that this incident had happened, she was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to get rid of them.
“Brother Cheng?” Jiang Xue exclaimed worriedly and immediately wanted to get out of bed to help him.
