Chapter 997 Ending Chapter 17
Xiao's old house.
In the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Xiao sat on her knees on the futon, clasped her hands together, and chanted with her head slightly lowered.
The old lady has white hair and a curvy figure. A string of black Buddhist beads hangs from her skinny wrist, and she looks pious.
outside.
Mr. Xiao was pacing back and forth in place, his face full of anxiety.
Several times he tried to rush in regardless, but was stopped by the housekeeper.
"I really have something urgent to find my mother. Could you please go in and let me know?"
The housekeeper nodded slightly and said quietly, "No one is allowed to disturb the old lady when she is worshiping the Buddha. This has been a rule for many years. Please be patient."
Mr. Xiao looked at the watch on his wrist, his expression becoming more and more anxious.
At this moment, the cell phone in the palm of his hand suddenly rang.
When he lowered his head, he saw that it was his subordinate who had beaten him.
He quickly swiped the answer button, "How's it going? Did you find anything?"
A respectful report came from the receiver, "Mr. Hui, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou have indeed been to a mental hospital.
They also met Ms. Bai and learned from the hospital that she suffered from hereditary heart disease. "
After Xiao Cheng heard this, he staggered back a few steps.
He knew that what happened back then could no longer be hidden.
Although it was not his fault, he was the one who provoked that woman Bai Yan, and he had to bear the main responsibility for what happened.
Now that Zhou Gu and his wife have found the white cigarette butt, it won't be long before his sister and brother-in-law know about the girl-swap.
If it is not handled properly, the entire Xiao family may be completely destroyed.
Thinking of his resolute and iron-blooded brother-in-law, he felt chills all over his body.
No, he couldn't sit back and wait for death, he had to find a way to proactively resolve this disaster.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly hung up the phone and knelt on the floor with a plop.
"Mother, the Xiao family is about to end, do you still have the heart to worship Buddha there?"
There was a crackling sound in the room.
The housekeeper rushed in and saw that the prayer beads in the old lady's hand were broken and black beads rolled all over the floor.
She was horrified, vaguely feeling that this was a prelude to disaster.
"Old lady, your hand is not injured, right?" she asked while picking up the beads.
Mrs. Xiao looked up at the Buddha statue enshrined in the niche and sighed softly.
What is supposed to come will eventually come, and you can't avoid it.
"Stop picking it up and help me up."
The housekeeper stopped what he was doing, put the beads he picked up on the table, and then bent down to lift the old lady up.
Doorway.
When Mr. Xiao saw his mother coming out, he knelt down and moved in front of her, raised his head and said:
"Mom, we can no longer hide what happened back then. My sister will soon know the truth. What should we do?"
The old lady looked at him coldly and said word by word: "What else can I do? Come to the door in person to atone for my sins and beg your brother-in-law for leniency."
"No." Mr. Xiao objected directly without thinking, "Brother-in-law will kill me if he knows the truth."
"That's what you deserve." The old lady shouted in a loud voice.
Don’t you deserve it?
She told him not to mess with the unscrupulous women outside, but he refused to listen.
The results of it?
The entire Xiao family has been in fear for decades for causing such a huge disaster.
"If you still want to hide it now, don't blame your brother-in-law for shooting you.
If he gets angry, don't talk about me. Even your sister can't persuade him. You should think about it yourself. "
Xiao Cheng cried sadly, "I am about to succeed the Minister of Commerce. If I offend him at this time, my future will be completely ruined."
The old lady raised her crutch and slapped him hard on the back.
"Is power or life more important? Do you think he won't be able to find out if you don't say anything?
This Kyoto and this country of China are all under his control. How long do you think you can keep this secret?
So what if he succeeds?The day he learns the truth, you will have to step down.
Rather than being forcibly dragged down by him and risking his life in the end, it is better to confess now.
You have been confused for decades. At this age, don’t you still know how to choose? "
The conversation left Mr. Xiao speechless.
But he still didn't give up.
"I only found out about the transfer of two children back then. How can you blame me?"
The old lady stared at him, as if she hated the iron.
"You idiot, your woman did this, so how can I not blame you?
If she didn't transfer the two children, would your sister's daughter be kidnapped by the kidnappers?
Do you know that the child died at the hands of the kidnappers, which was indirectly caused by you? "
Xiao Cheng was choked and speechless.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao hurried over from a distance.
Seeing her husband kneeling on the ground and her mother-in-law with a gloomy old face, she felt confused.
"Mother, Xiao Cheng, what are you doing?"
The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law who was kept in the dark and sighed again.
"You go back first. We, mother and son, have something to discuss."
Seeing that her mother-in-law was silent, Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything more and changed the subject:
"Sister and brother-in-law are here. They are in the living room. Brother-in-law looks very bad, as if he is suppressing anger. He asks to see Xiao Cheng."
Xiao Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was shaking all over and looked up at his mother in horror.
The only one who can restrain his brother-in-law now is this old lady.
After all, she was Lu Ting's mother-in-law, so Lu Ting would not use a knife or a gun in front of her.
The old lady received his look for help and shouted: "It's already this time, what use do you think I have?
Lu Ting has always been calm in dealing with things. If there is no conclusive evidence, he will never come to the door in person.
Now that he is here, it proves that he already knows the whole story. Don't make any crooked ideas, just kneel down and repent. "
After saying that, she walked towards the main house on crutches.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xiao Cheng had no choice but to follow him. As he walked, he was still thinking about how to clear up the relationship.
However, he knew very well the temperament of his powerful brother-in-law. With this incident, his future might be completely ruined.
In the meeting room.
Mother Lu leaned weakly on the sofa.
After a lot of tossing, almost all the energy was drained from her body.
Father Lu poured a glass of warm water and put it to her mouth, then said softly, "Drink some water first."
Mother Lu lowered her head in cooperation and licked her lips a few times, then reached out and clasped her husband's wrist bone.
"Control your temper and don't kill anyone."
Father Lu handed the water glass to his son, raised his hand and rubbed his wife's head, "I am sensible."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of crutches hitting the ground outside.
It's the old lady here!
It seems that Xiao Cheng already knew that a disaster was coming, and deliberately used his old mother as a shield.
Lu Ting couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Even if the king of heaven comes today, it won't work.
If the Xiao family doesn't give him a reasonable explanation, he will let the family disappear completely from the political arena.
"Lu Ting, Wanwan, you are here."
The old lady still looked amiable, with no trace of panic on her face.
Lu Ting slowly stood up and called her 'Mother'.
Xiao Wan, on the other hand, didn't even look at her biological mother.
When Xiao Cheng walked in timidly, she instantly became excited.
