Chapter 1507: Chapter 1507: But You’re My Mom
"What face does Su Zining have to go there, anyway? Everything is clear now, and the birthday celebration shouldn’t be tainted by this kind of situation. Going up there is absolutely disgraceful, utterly shameless."
Everyone was gossiping, and at this moment, the face of the elderly Mr. Xiao on stage was particularly grim.
He initially thought Su Zining would have the decency to save him some face, but he didn’t expect Su Zining to be so shamelessly determined to cling to wealth, abandoning all else. Even though he had staff there to block it, Su Zining still charged up. Now, it’s not just a matter of the Xiao Family, but also a slap in the face of the Xu Family. Does Su Zining have no fear of death?
This affair was supposed to be settled, but what is Su Zining still struggling with?
The elderly Mr. Xiao’s face was especially unsightly, and with noticeable anger, he said, "Su Zining, what are you doing here now? I explicitly said today is the engagement ceremony for my grandson and granddaughter, and I don’t want anyone disturbing it. Although this engagement may appear humble, I assure you that important figures are here to witness, making the ceremony grand despite its simplicity."
With those words from the elderly Mr. Xiao, everyone began to look forward to it, though they found Su Zining a sore sight.
At this moment, Su Zining felt distressed but unwilling to give up the happiness within reach. This was the moment he had been waiting for. If he couldn’t turn the situation around now, it would all be over.
"Mr. Xiao, perhaps there’s been a misunderstanding. I am the rightful one, so why are you letting him go up? During your birthday banquet, you already made your decision. What do you mean by this now?"
Su Zining questioned, leaving everyone speechless. Clearly, during the old man’s birthday banquet, the matter was discreetly hidden, not fully announced. Why does he have to cling so stubbornly, showing such a lack of grace?
If Su Zining were to decisively let go now, perhaps Mr. Xiao, taking pity on the misunderstanding, might grant him a way out. However, Su Zining seemed determined to hit a dead end, and if that’s the case, no one could save him.
The elderly Mr. Xiao let out a cold laugh, previously finding this young man promising, but now seeing him as stubbornly unreasonable and having done that to his granddaughter. Concerned about his granddaughter’s reputation, Mr. Xiao had not made an announcement.
"What is it that you want to say now?"
"I never made any definitive decision. I said if Xu Ke could find evidence to prove his identity, then we would determine who the destined one is. Xu Ke has now found his mother, but what about you? What do you have now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zining panicked because he knew Wang Cuixia was the real one, but he was unwilling to give up today, so he looked at the woman in the crowd.
"No, I’ve also brought my mother today. His mother is the fake one; my mother is real. I’ll invite her onto the stage now for everyone to see. The Xiao Family can’t bully people just because Xu Ke is connected to the Xu Group, abandoning your past promises. That’s too unfair."
As Su Zining spoke, the woman broke free from the guards and got on stage, her face painted in colors, clearly having faced prejudice here.
This woman was extremely fearful, knowing the Xu elder from the capital was not to be provoked, and she quickly regretted coming. However, now caught in a difficult situation, there was no way out.
Seeing the woman on stage, Su Zining breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn’t paid her extra, she might have run off halfway. For now, stabilizing the situation was the priority, and other problems could be solved later. He wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.
"Mom, please speak!"
Upon hearing Su Zining call her ’Mom,’ the woman shuddered, getting goosebumps all over, but then forced a smile, unable to look at the Xu elder in the audience, staring at the floor instead, trembling all over.
"I gave birth to him back then, and you promised our families would unite, yet now you’ve made it like this. Isn’t my son worth anything? He’s worked very hard for this."
The woman said, and Su Zining knew if she spoke more, it might expose his act, so he looked at Mr. Xiao. "Mr. Xiao, I understand I’m not as capable as Xu Ke, but give me time to prove myself. If you really abandon me just to connect with the Xu Group, maybe the young lady will have trouble too. You said the destined one can’t be changed, so can you retract your previous words?"
Mr. Xiao was about to curse, finding this person’s unscrupulousness intolerable, and what was this—almost cursing his granddaughters by saying ’destined one.’ Clearly, Xu Ke is the one.
Seeing this, Wang Cuixia couldn’t hold back anymore, pushing aside the staff and getting on stage. When Su Zining saw Wang Cuixia, he avoided her eyes. When Wang Cuixia gave him this opportunity before, Su Zining was immensely grateful, but now seeing her again, he almost couldn’t face her.
"I gave you a chance back then, and now you dare use this chance against my son. Let me make it clear; I am the mother of the destined one. As for this woman, didn’t you pay her?"
Wang Cuixia spoke, assessing the trembling woman, and couldn’t help but say, "You’ve seen the current situation; some people can’t get involved in it. So, you’d better leave. If you insist on staying, I don’t know how much money you’ll earn, but there will be consequences for this affair."
Upon hearing these words, the woman who had been paid trembled, suddenly kneeling before Wang Cuixia, "Please, have mercy and let me go. I am indeed a fake; he hired me. I don’t want to earn this money anymore; I just want to live a decent life. I’ll return the 100,000 yuan to you later if that’s okay."
Wang Cuixia helped the woman up, surprisingly quick to admit, as she was indeed frightened, hastily confessing. Yet, Su Zining hadn’t expected Wang Cuixia to make him waste his 100,000 yuan with just a few words.
This couldn’t be allowed, so he tightly grabbed the hired woman.
"You absolutely can’t leave. You’re my mom, how can you leave?"
