Chapter 1263: Recognition (20)
Because Huang Ying was holding on to Eric’s neck, it became difficult for him to breathe, and his face turned red.
Eric pushed Huang Ying away, and in order to save and disa.s.sociate himself, he scolded Huang Ying harshly, “You crazy woman. It was you and Xu Cheng who had ulterior motives by trying to cover up the truth of the past and trying to change the heir! Look at what kind of person your daughter Xu Cheng is. She’s just an old and shameful woman. No matter how she disguises herself, she can’t become an elegant and sophisticated heiress like the young madam of the Ruan family, Ling Tianya. It’s impossible for her to pretend to be the daughter of the Chairman!”
“Who do you think you’re calling an old and shameful woman!” Upon hearing Eric’s words, Xu Cheng immediately broke down and went crazy. She opened her mouth crazily to bite the two guards who were holding her. In pain, the guards’ hands let go of her. Xu Cheng seized the opportunity to escape from their grasp. She rushed towards Eric and raised her hand to give Eric a slap on the face.
“You were the one who took the initiative to pursue me back then. You approached me and said that after I became Layna’s successor, you would propose to me. In the future, you would help me manage the company and I only needed to be a wealthy stay-at-home wife. You coaxed me with sweet words back then. Now you’re saying that I’m an old and shameful woman, were you lying back then?!” Xu Cheng had completely lost it. Lina not acknowledging her and even exposing her in public already disgraced her. Now, Eric was also saying the same thing about her. How could the prideful Xu Cheng endure all this.
Faced with Xu Cheng’s accusations, Eric’s eyes turned vicious. He really wished that he could kill Xu Cheng and Huang Ying, just like how he killed the private detective who reported the news back then.
“Miss Xu, please don’t lie anymore! I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I never said what you said either. I’m just Chairwoman Li’s a.s.sistant. I was also deceived by you and your daughter. You two dug your own graves, and it had nothing to do with me. Please don’t drag me into the water!”
Eric wiped himself clean of the matter. In any case, in the entire incident, other than killing the private detective, he had been plotting for Xu Cheng and Huang Ying behind the scenes. In front of Lina, he had always maintained the image of a reliable and dutiful a.s.sistant. Eric firmly believed that as long as he insisted that it had nothing to do with this matter, no one could do anything to him.
In any case, Xu Cheng and Huang Ying had long offended the Ruan family. Huang Ying had dark history with the Ruan family. Even if all the dirty water had been poured on them, no one would believe them.
Obviously, at this moment, Huang Ying and Xu Cheng also understood Eric’s intention to save himself and sacrifice them.
How could Huang Ying be willing to let him have his way? However, she didn’t have any substantial evidence to testify against Eric with. The more Huang Ying thought about it, the angrier she became. If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have offended the Ruan family to the point of no turning back. They wouldn’t have been chased out by Madam Ruan for being too arrogant and therefore become homeless. At this moment, Huang Ying really wanted to die together with Eric.
Thus, as Huang Ying thought about it, she really took action. She directly ran to the buffet not far away, picked up a b.u.t.ter knife, and stabbed at Eric.
“If you don’t want us to live, then you shouldn’t think about living either! Go to h.e.l.l! ”
Eric quickly dodged her. Huang Ying was like a crazy b.i.t.c.h barking crazily.
