Chapter 288: We Can’t Let That Bastard Live in This World Anymore

Translator: 549690339

Xiang Jiechao, fearful that Gu Junzhu would notice something unusual, mustered all his strength to control himself, not daring to glance at Lingyue again.

Fear rose from the depths of his soul, causing his entire body to tremble.

He resented Xu Yanlai for revealing the family secret to him.

If it hadn’t have been for Xu Yanlai, who divulged a long-hidden secret, he would still be unaware that he wasn’t his father’s biological son.

Nor would he know that Lingyue was the illegitimate child born from his father’s legitimate daughter.

He had initially been able to face Ye Xingbei and Lingyue boldly, portraying a perfect gentleman.

But now that he fears his father discovering Lingyue’s background, he lost his composure, becoming the subject of Gu Junzhu’s mockery, and harshly rejected by his father.

He refused to let things end like this.

If he left now, what if his father uncovered the secret about Lingyue’s origins?

He had no wish to become the son of the Xu Family or to lose his status as the heir to the Xiang Family!

His face turned deathly pale, looking as if his feet were nailed to the ground, unable to move.

Nearly everyone aware of Senior Master Xiang knew that Xiang Jiechao was his most beloved child.

It was the first time that Shao Bingyi had seen Senior Master Xiang reprimand her uncle since she was young.

She felt a secret, guilty joy inside.

Xiang Bingzhi was in jail.

Jii Haomiao was detained.

Only she and Jii Yanmiao were left in the third generation of the Xiang Family.

Jii Yanmiao was a fool, no match for her.

As long as she behaved well, perhaps the title of the Xiang Family heir could fall to her.

She suppressed the joy in her heart, feigning worry, she approached Xiang Jiechao and mildly pushed him, “Uncle, maybe you should leave first. I’ll take care of grandfather. If you upset him too much, you’ll end up regretting it.” “You, too, get out!” Senior Master Xiang suddenly looked up, his eagle-like eyes fixed on her, “Both of you, leave together!”

Feeling embarrassed as her secret joy retreated like a receding tide, a disgruntled Shao Bingyi exclaimed, “Grandfather!”

Senior Master Xiang, catching his breath from anger, instructed the security officer, “Escort both of them off the premises. Without my permission, don’t let them back!”

Senior Master Xiang’s security officers were professional, well-trained, and obeyed orders without question.

They didn’t care who they were dealing with; as long as Senior Master Xiang gave the word, even if the sky were to fall, they would carry out the order unconditionally.

The deputy security officer signaled, and immediately, four security officers approached Xiang Jiechao and Shao Bingyi and respectfully said: “Young Master, Miss, please.”

Shao Bingyi stamped her foot and ran off with resentment.

Helplessly, Xiang Jiechao had to comply and leave with the security officers.

Despite the mild temperature at the foot of the mountain, his body felt like it was encased in frost, leaving him shivering from the cold.

If the heavens were just and kept his secret safe, he was determined to find a way to eliminate Lingyue.

The illegitimate child could not be allowed to live any longer.

As long as the child existed, there was a chance his true identity could be discovered.

Only when the illegitimate child was dead could he remain as Senior Master Xiang’s rightful son for life…

Under the watchful eyes of the security officers, Xiang Jiechao and Shao Bingyi got in the car and left.

The car quickly disappeared from view, Senior Master Xiang who had been sitting straight-backed suddenly seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing. Dr. Lo was shocked, exclaiming, “Senior Master Xiang!”

He quickly went to check on him.
