Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 345 - 343: She’s Not the Third Party, You Are
If she had known that her mother was fine, she would never have come to the Chu Family, and even if she did, she would have left and returned to her mother’s side!
Xuan Yu, to prevent her mother from finding her, had locked her mother in the Asylum for four whole years!
A normal person, imprisoned in a small room in the Asylum without any reason for four years—what dark days those must have been.
Jiayi trembled all over.
Just then, the man in sunglasses hesitated, "While investigating Ms. Xia’s whereabouts, we also came across another matter."
Jiayi’s clenched fists trembled slightly. Although nervous, she had seen too many dirty and ugly things to be shocked by anything else and quietly awaited the rest.
Xuan Yu had a premonition about what the detective was going to say, and with a shiver, she raised her arm to make a dismissing gesture and said with a severe tone, "This is the Chu Family, not a place where anyone can come in to investigate this and point fingers at that, someone, see the guest out—"
Chu Yanhan, already brimming with barely contained anger, could no longer hold back and shouted, "This is the Chu Family, and I have the final say! Shut your mouth!"
All these years and Yanhan had never spoken to her like this before, which instantly overwhelmed Xuan Yu, and she slumped onto the couch, her face deathly pale.
"Please continue," Chu Yanhan gestured with his hand.
The man in sunglasses, with the command from the master of the Chu Family, didn’t hold back any longer, "There was also something wrong with Ms. Xia’s car accident four years ago."
Jiayi’s heart clenched.
"According to the investigation, the driver who hit Ms. Xia had a criminal record and frequently went in and out of prison. Just one month before the accident, this driver had met with a lady from S Country."
Chu Yanhan’s fists creaked with the force of his grip; his eagle-like eyes ablaze with fury, he glared at Xuan Yu.
That gaze was ready to devour Xuan Yu alive!
Now everything was clear—
Four years ago, Xuan Yu wanted to bring Jiayi back to China to serve as a stand-in bride for her own daughter, but Xia Tingxuan had always refused.
To gain custody of Jiayi and bring her back successfully, Xuan Yu had gone so far as to bribe the driver to kill Xia Tingxuan!
A high society lady of S Country had actually hired a hitman to commit murder.
But little did she know that Xia Tingxuan was tough to kill and hadn’t died.
Xuan Yu simply took advantage of Xia Tingxuan’s coma, colluded with the doctor, injected her with a large dose of anesthetic and sedatives to keep her comatose for a short period, and then deceived Jiayi by saying that Xia Tingxuan would be vegetative for the rest of her life and would need a huge amount of medical funds. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
In the end, Xuan Yu got her way, coaxing the teenage girl to follow her and secretly sending Xia Tingxuan to a remote Asylum.
Under these circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Xuan Yu to permit a reunion between Jiayi and her mother. Over the years, at most she allowed Jiayi to glance at distant views captured by remote cameras on a tablet.
But how could Jiayi know that her mother, lying in bed, was not receiving the best care in an elegantly environmented hospital but suffering in solitary confinement in an Asylum?
Jiayi finally understood why her mother was pale without a trace of blood and why her eyes sometimes looked vacant—it was the result of many years locked away in a confinement room in the Asylum, away from the sunlight.
For Xia Tingxuan, seeing her daughter and taking her daughter back was all that mattered; nothing else was of concern.
At this moment, there was no hatred in her heart, only the joy of reunion with her daughter, and she pat her daughter’s hand, "Jiayi, we are going back right away."
Years of confinement had even deteriorated her linguistic abilities, making it a struggle to utter a few short phrases.
Jiayi’s nose tingled with a sourness, and she couldn’t hold back anymore. She slid down to hug her mother’s waist and refused to let go again.
Jiayi’s sobbing ignited a volcano of rage within Chu Yanhan.
"Yanhan... I..." Xuan Yu stared at her husband, dumbfounded.
This matter was supposed to be a tight secret...
The asylum was notoriously secretive, with very rigorous confidentiality measures. She had never imagined that one day, Xia Tingxuan would be dug up and brazenly brought to the Chu Family to expose her.
On Chu Yanhan’s face, Xuan Yu saw deep disgust.
The respect and guilt he had shown her over the years crumbled to dust.
At this moment, Chu Yanhan felt nothing but revulsion and hatred for Xuan Yu, as well as fear of sharing a bed with this deceitful woman for twenty years.
Chu Yanhan didn’t look at Xuan Yu again. "Call the police."
Xuan Yu gasped in disbelief and threw herself at him. "Call the police? Yanhan, have you lost your mind?"
She knew he was angry but had not expected him to be so resolute!
Chu Yanhan grabbed her wrist with a grip as cold as millennia-old ice. "You’re the one who’s insane! I thought you were just selfish, but now you’re guilty of attempted murder! You venomous woman!"
Xuan Yu was in despair.
It was only now that she realized she had always underestimated Chu Yanhan’s feelings for Xia Tingxuan.
Apparently, the love between a man and a woman could not be simply seized.
After sharing a bed for twenty years, in the end, this man’s heart was still tied to Xia Tingxuan.
He could give her respect, tolerate her, but when it came to harming Xia Tingxuan, there was zero tolerance; not even a little bit was permissible.
When he learned that Xia Tingxuan was still alive and didn’t aggressively pursue her whereabouts, it wasn’t because he stopped loving Tingxuan, but because he feared his jealousy might hurt her...
Ha.
Perhaps more than twenty years ago at that banquet, when she fell in love at first sight with this handsome man and tried to cozy up to him, and he coldly told her, "Sorry, Miss, I already have a fiancée", she should have understood that in this man’s heart, someone had already taken root, irreversibly so.
Xuan Yu fell silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into hysterical laughter:
"Call the police? Do you know who I am? I am Mrs. Chu, my father-in-law is a senior diplomat. You go to the police now, tell them that I hired somebody years ago to get rid of your mistress and have kept her confined for years? I’m not afraid of going to jail, but what about you, are you prepared to lose face?"
The word "mistress" tightened Chu Yanhan’s brows, and his fingers tightened, causing Xuan Yu sharp pain:
"She’s not a mistress, never has been, and she’s not a third party, seductress. I have been with her since we were children, never separated for a day. After leaving the orphanage, we got engaged. To reassure her the night before I returned to S Country, we sneaked off to get a marriage certificate. When I got back to the Chu Family, the old man wanted me to marry you, and then you got pregnant. I had no chance to explain and had to marry you in S Country. Now you understand, your husband actually already has a wife in China! If there has to be a third party, it’s not Tingxuan, it’s you! Do you understand? It’s you—"
These words, dropped at the scene, were undoubtedly a thunderclap.
Apart from Xia Tingxuan, whose expression flickered slightly before returning to calm indifference, everyone present, including the old servants of the Chu Family, was stunned.
Everyone knew that in any country, if the first marriage isn’t annulled, the second marriage is bigamous, and legally invalid!
Which means that the rightful legal wife should be Miss Jiayi’s mother, while Xuan Yu turned out to be the one without any legitimate status!
