After the breakup, the abstinent president got married and had three babies

After hearing this, the butler turned his gaze to Lin Cai and nodded slightly, expressing his agreement. "That's right, Xia Jiye did plan this. He first targeted the Xia family and intended to harm them."

"Then they targeted the Ou family, attempting to weaken their power. Finally, they turned their attention to the Leng family, intending to defeat them one by one."

Hearing this, Lin Cai couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically: "This Xia Jiye is really arrogant!"

"He's treating us like fools. I think he might as well go to bed right away. Maybe he can realize his unrealistic fantasies in his dreams."

Lin Cai looked at Old Man Xia with a determined look and said firmly, "Grandpa, please rest assured. In less than three days, I will bring that mother and son to justice and send them to prison."

Now all the evidence has been collected, especially this time they actually dared to poison people. Lin Cai will never let them go easily. He will make sure they never get away with it and spend the rest of their lives in prison.

"In fact, as early as when I first followed my father's instructions to launch the investigation, I had already found a lawyer in advance. What I lacked at that time was just the key evidence." Lin Cai turned to look at him and explained the whole ins and outs of the incident in detail.

Grandpa Xia was relieved to hear him say that. He took out a list of names and continued, "These are the people Xia Jiye supported behind the scenes with that mother and son. Some of them have passed away, but two are still alive."

"It was their cover-up and connivance that allowed this matter to be concealed until now. Therefore, they are accomplices, just like the mother and son."

"Those people were so cruel as to threaten me with Xia Lin's life, forcing me to let go of that matter. I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't take revenge. Sooner or later, they will pay me back double!"

Mr. Xia has been competitive throughout his life, but deep down, he only cares about his wife and son.

Unfortunately, fate played a trick on him and his wife passed away early. When faced with threats, he had no choice but to harden his heart and let his son go away.

Since then, the father and son have not seen each other for more than 20 years, and even if they want to see each other, they have to be cautious and sneaky.

"Why did they take that mother and son in? Could they really not just leave them alone?" Lin Cai asked suspiciously. After all, according to common sense, Grandpa Xia's status at the time was much higher than those people.

Master Xia sighed deeply and said slowly, "This involves a debt of gratitude. We all started our business together from scratch, and Xia Jiye's father once saved my life."

"As for the Lin family, it was because they owed something to Xia Jiye's father, and Xia Jiye's father had something on their hands, so they had no choice but to protect them."

Hearing this, Lin Cai couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of astonishment. It was obvious that he had never expected that there was such a complicated story hidden behind it.

However, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart, and continued to ask: "If that's the case, then why must you take the responsibility of taking care of them, instead of those people from the Lin family?"

Lin Cai looked at the bloodless, paper-white face of the person in front of him, and a feeling of worry and concern welled up in his heart.

He quickly turned to the housekeeper and anxiously ordered, "Grandpa Housekeeper, please ask the kitchen to prepare some porridge. If you want plain porridge, just tell them that's what I want to drink."

Then, he added anxiously, "You have to personally oversee this matter. Otherwise, I really can't rest assured if you let someone else do it. After all, this is food for Grandpa!"

After saying that, Lin Cai looked at the housekeeper expectantly.

Upon hearing this, the butler quickly agreed and turned away to arrange the relevant matters.

At this time, Old Man Xia, who was sitting next to him, recalled the past events. His eyes gradually became moist, and his eyes revealed endless sadness and regret.

He muttered to himself, "Alas...it's all my fault. I was just too conceited back then!"

"When Xia Jiye and his mother came to me for refuge, they had ill intentions from the very beginning, attempting to seize our entire Xia family fortune."

"However, at that time, I thought I could see through their inner thoughts and was convinced that I was fully capable of controlling the situation."

"So, initially I planned to arrange for them to live outside and assign someone to look after them."

"But who could have imagined that the woman named Zhou Min would be so cruel and ruthless! She actually instructed her own son to feign illness time and time again to delay time."

"So, a whole month passed, and I finally managed to get everything sorted out. Just as I was about to have them move out of the Xia family, I suddenly received a notice that I needed to go on an urgent business trip."

"It was at this critical moment that Zhou Min's vicious mother and son seized the opportunity and cruelly pushed Rou'er off the building, causing her to die on the spot..." At this point, Grandpa Xia was already in tears and heartbroken.

"It's because my family background is much better than those of the Lin family, Wang family and other families, and I have a great reputation, so they finally chose me as their target." Grandpa Xia's eyes were full of self-mockery and sarcasm.

"It's absolutely ridiculous! Can you imagine? The so-called life-saving grace turned out to be an elaborate murder plot."

"Xia Jiye's father was not the one who saved my life. On the contrary, he was a villain who wanted to take my life."

"It was just luck that I managed to avoid the disaster with my own cleverness, but at the same time, he cleverly created an illusion, making us all mistakenly believe that he saved my life."

At this point, Mr. Xia's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was obvious that this memory brought him great shock and pain.

"Xia Jiye's father died in prison six months ago. And all these years, out of a trace of kindness, I have been secretly sending people to take care of him."

"That's why, when his belongings were handed to me, I woke up from my dream and finally saw clearly that all this was his deliberate calculation." Old Master Xia took a deep breath and tried to calm his turbulent emotions.

"He knows too many of the Lin family's secrets. Naturally, the Lin family couldn't allow a hidden danger like him to exist in the world."

"There are only two paths before him: one is to become more powerful than the Lin family and completely break free from their control; the other is to find a solid and reliable backer."

"And in the end, he turned his eyes to me and regarded me as his life-saving straw." At this time, Mr. Xia's face was full of deep fatigue and helplessness.

"Take a look at these!" Old Master Xia waved his hand sharply, pointing to a pile of documents on the table. "All of this contains irrefutable evidence of tax evasion by those companies."

"These evidences were originally in the hands of Xia Jiye's father, but now they are all in my hands."

"Not only that, I have never relaxed my surveillance on them over the years, just waiting for the right time to uproot them and make them pay the price for their crimes!"

After saying this, Old Master Xia clenched his fists tightly, his eyes firm and resolute.

"Don't these people usually value their reputation above all else? Fine, if that's the case, then I will bring ruin upon them, leaving them infamous for eternity, and making them the object of eternal hatred and scorn by future generations!"

Lin Cai suddenly felt that Xia Jiye's viciousness was inherited from his father, and he didn't care about the lives of others for his own benefit.

Lin Cai carefully picked up the bowl of porridge filled with poison, as if holding a bomb about to explode, hurriedly brought it back home, and handed it to Mu Shen, instructing him to take it for inspection immediately.

On the other hand, Zhou Mufan finally followed his mother's request and sent Xu Lan back to the Xu family before returning.

Although he was extremely reluctant, facing his mother who threatened to commit suicide, he really didn't dare to act recklessly or cause trouble anymore.

At this moment, he simply thought that the reason his mother was so determined to force him was simply because she cared particularly about the unborn child in Xia Meihui's belly.

So, Zhou Mufan had no choice but to obey and accompanied his mother and pregnant Xia Meihui to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

However, what was surprising was that during the entire process of waiting for the examination, there was not a single trace of joy of becoming a father on Zhou Mufan's handsome face.

Compared with the happy and expectant fathers around him, he seemed particularly out of place, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Xia Meihui didn't seem to care much about Zhou Mufan's indifferent attitude. After all, from the very beginning, all she wanted was to be able to break free from the cage-like constraints of the Xia family.

Xia Meihui recalled what she heard her parents say when she returned to her parents' home yesterday. They were actually still trying to murder Master Xia and others!

However, Xia Meihui knew very well that Old Man Xia was not someone who could be easily defeated or defeated.

What's more, she knew very well that the unfortunate experience that happened to Old Lady Xia was actually entirely planned and caused by her grandmother and father.

Now, only Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Lin can provide some help, but these two old men are very old and their abilities are no longer as strong as before.

Her idea was simple. Before her reputation was completely ruined, she wanted to marry someone from a decent family, not too wealthy but with leverage over them. She didn't ask for great wealth, but at least she could have enough food and clothing.

When she was with Zhou Mufan, she had several backups, but Madam Leng gave her a handle on Madam Zhou, so she chose to establish a relationship with Zhou Mufan.

But I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that Zhou Mufan’s ex-girlfriend turned out to be Xia Ruoan, the real lady of the Xia family.
