Chapter 119: Those Who Scheme Against Me Shall Meet a Grim Fate!

Xiao Xuezhen stood there, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, listening with a dark, unchanging expression.

Especially since Grandpa had mentioned Zaozao...

Xiao Xuezhen sneered bitterly to himself. It was precisely because of Zaozao that he had always been so lenient and caring toward Chi Wanwan. And it was that very leniency and care that had led to this great disaster.

He pressed his thin lips together, said nothing in response to his grandfather’s words, turned, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Grandpa Xiao watched his cold retreating figure, anger rising uncontrollably within him. He called out his name, but Xiao Xuezhen ignored him completely and walked away.

As Xiao Xuezhen opened the ward door, Chi Wanwan, who had been eavesdropping outside, was startled by his sudden appearance and her face turned pale.

“Xue... Xuezhen... why are you out...?” Chi Wanwan said guiltily, immediately putting on a pitiful, wronged expression.

Xiao Xuezhen glanced at her, a cold smile curling his thin lips. His narrowed black eyes revealed a chilling, intimidating coldness.

Then, right in front of her, he took out the paternity test report from earlier, waved it before her eyes, and sneered, “A personal DNA test? Chi Wanwan, you’re really clever. You think that by bribing the doctor to produce such a thing, you can force me to comply?”

Hearing this, Chi Wanwan trembled involuntarily, stepping back.

She forced a strained smile, then sulkily said, “Xuezhen, what are you talking about... bribing the doctor... I... I didn’t... The child in my womb is yours...”

Her voice gradually lowered as she spoke.

The guilt was evident.

Xiao Xuezhen listened, a mocking smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth. “Is that so? My child? Do you think I wouldn’t know whether I touched you that night? If it’s really my child, fine. I’ll call my private doctor over. Do you dare to do the paternity test in front of Grandpa?”

Chi Wanwan was shaken to her core.

She hadn’t expected him to make such a demand.

She had thought that since Grandpa Xiao was hospitalized here, bribing a doctor in this hospital would suffice. But if he called his exclusive private doctor, then she...

Her lips turned pale in an instant, her small body trembling slightly.

Still, she forced a strong front and said, “What do I have to fear? Xuezhen, go ahead and call him. As long as you bring the doctor, I dare to do the paternity test again. But don’t forget, if things get this big, Shi Runrun will also find out that I’m carrying your child...”

She deliberately paused there.

Sure enough, the next moment, a bone-chilling coldness flashed in Xiao Xuezhen’s narrowed eyes.

He stared at her for a long moment, then curled his lips into a cold smile and clapped his hands. “Waiting for me here, huh? Fine, Chi Wanwan, I admit I underestimated you before. If you want to play this game, I’ll see it through to the end. But let me warn you, any man who dares to scheme against me Xiao Xuezhen never ends well!”

“I won’t hold back anymore. By then, I won’t show you any mercy for Zaozao’s sake! And if Grandpa finds out you’re carrying an illegitimate child and not the Xiao family’s heir, the first person he’ll want to kill is you!”

With that, he shoved her aside roughly, brushed past her, and headed toward the elevator.

He didn’t even want to look at her again.

Even a single glance was enough to make him feel utterly disgusted.

“Xuezhen... Xuezhen...” Chi Wanwan called his name, watching his retreating back, but he entered the elevator without a word and didn’t respond.

Chi Wanwan clutched her aching chest, collapsing onto the ground.

This man had been the one she loved for so many years.

He had always been attached to his sister, keeping her memory in his heart. Later, after marrying Shi Runrun, he showered her with affection—but why was he so cruel and indifferent to her?

Chi Wanwan felt unbearable resentment.

Her heart ached deeply...

Her beautiful eyes brimmed with tears again, filled with hatred and desolation.

Though this move might force him to relent, Chi Wanwan knew she might never win his heart in this lifetime...

But even so, as long as she could have him for herself and drive away every other woman around him, she would be satisfied.

...

After leaving the hospital, Xiao Xuezhen drove straight to the hotel from last time.

Since Zaozao’s memorial day, so many things had happened—all because of the mistakes he had made.

The hotel manager recognized him and welcomed him inside.

Xiao Xuezhen explained his purpose, and the manager immediately led him to the presidential suite they had used before.

Entering the room, Xiao Xuezhen went to the bedroom where he and Chi Wanwan had nearly crossed the line, scrutinizing every detail.

The angles of Chi Wanwan’s photos suggested hidden cameras had been secretly installed. So where was the surveillance device hidden?

Xiao Xuezhen pursed his lips and examined the room carefully. The hotel manager said, “Mr. Xiao, our hotel is a luxury establishment in Jing City. There’s no way there would be any cameras inside the rooms. Perhaps you’re mistaken.”

Xiao Xuezhen said nothing, turned around, and his eyes suddenly caught a small hole above the headboard.

If one wasn’t looking closely, it would be nearly invisible.

...

After obtaining and reviewing the surveillance footage, Xiao Xuezhen’s face darkened.

Just as he had suspected, he hadn’t touched Chi Wanwan.

Though he had been heavily intoxicated that night, at the critical moment when Chi Wanwan tried to unzip his pants, he had stopped her in time.

Xiao Xuezhen saved the footage proving his innocence to his phone, then left the hotel.

Outside, the night was deep.

He took out his phone and wanted to call Shi Runrun to see if she was asleep, but after tapping the screen, he realized the phone had died and shut down.

Resigned, he pocketed the phone and walked toward a car parked by the roadside.

As he walked, his handsome face grew increasingly grave.

He was not unaware of Chi Wanwan’s feelings for him.

When he was eighteen, back when he had been with Zaozao, he had already sensed it.

But love must be mutual, and since he did not love her, he had never responded.

He never expected that his cold indifference back then would drive her to such madness, making her willing to find another man and conceive a child—all to set this trap for him...

Xiao Xuezhen wondered what there was about him that made her go to such lengths.

He didn’t know whether to think Chi Wanwan was hateful or pitiful...
