Chapter 42 - 037: You Are Not a Child of the Yi Family! (Seeking subscriptions)
Xi Meichen, with tears streaming down her face, looked at Yi Luowa chokingly and said, "Your father has just been buried, and you brought outsiders here to stir up trouble. Are you even human?"
Looking at Xi Meichen's crocodile tears flowing nonstop, Yi Luowa suddenly had the urge to laugh. She curled her lips slightly and chuckled, "I'm causing trouble? Who was it that, even before her husband's body was cold, ran off to seize her brother-in-law's assets?"
"Yi Luowa, get out!" Yi Lingfei stood beside her mother, stomping her feet and shouting, "You're not welcome here!"
Xi Meichen pulled her daughter back, signaling her to calm down, then wiped her tears and spoke to Yi Luowa, "You have already voluntarily forfeited your shares, so you have no right even to listen to today's shareholders' meeting. Please leave!"
"I forfeited my shares?" Yi Luowa looked at Xi Meichen with amusement. "Are you sure?"
Yi Lingfei glared at her fiercely, pulled a document from her mother's bag, and slammed it onto the table. "You signed your name on it yourself. See for yourself!"
Yi Luowa glanced at the document and smiled faintly.
Director Li walked slowly over to Yi Luowa, speaking in a sincere tone, "You must be the eldest daughter of the Yi family who's rarely been at home, right? Child, your father is gone, and overnight, your mother has aged like this. Can you truly bear to treat her this way? Listen to your uncle: since you've already forfeited, stop causing a scene. It's pointless. After all, it's written clearly in black and white. Even if this goes to court, you won't gain a thing."
Yi Luowa glanced at him before turning her icy gaze to Xi Meichen. "When you forced me to sign that declaration back then, didn't you look closely at the name written on it?"
Xi Meichen froze, hurriedly picking up the declaration document.
How careless she had been! Yi Luowa's handwriting was a bit messy, but after carefully examining it, she realized that the name Yi Luowa had signed was actually Yi Kewowa.
Seeing Xi Meichen's face change through several shades, like a palette, Yi Luowa said coldly, "Do I now have the right to participate in this shareholders' meeting?"
Xi Meichen put the declaration down and stared directly at Yi Luowa, who was sitting in her wheelchair. "You cursed my husband, my father-in-law, and my brother-in-law to death. And now you come here to make trouble? I won't let you have your way!"
"The cause of their deaths will be thoroughly investigated!" Mi Chenshuo looked coldly at Xi Meichen. "Until the truth has been determined, don't pin such accusations on Yi Luowa. I've never seen a mother as cruel as you—you wouldn't even let your daughter attend her father's funeral and forced her to sign a statement like that. How much do you hate your own child?"
Several board members cast suspicious glances at Xi Meichen.
Xi Meichen glared at Mi Chenshuo with her neck stiff. "Young Master Mi, this is my family's business. You came here with this girl to stir up trouble at the Yi Corporation—does your father and your uncle know about this?"
"Zuoyuan Group is run by the two of us now," Tong Aino said calmly, sitting down as she pulled Yi Luowa's wheelchair closer and rested her hand on its armrest, looking at Xi Meichen with a light smile. "Mr. Yi Weiyang was almost assassinated two nights ago. He was afraid his niece might also be targeted, so he asked the two of us brothers to come protect Yi Luowa."
"You may continue with the meeting. We brothers won't interfere," Mi Chenshuo also said with a smile, sitting down on the other side of Yi Luowa.
The sight of the three—two handsome men and a beautiful woman—sitting together was a visual treat, but the smiles on their faces were utterly piercing!
Xi Meichen's ominous gaze fell on Yi Luowa's face. "Since you're forcing me into a corner, I might as well tell you a truth."
Yi Luowa stared at her intently, curious about whatever scheme she was plotting now.
Tong Airui, seated at his computer, turned up the volume, indicating that something was about to happen.
Xi Meichen sneered as she pulled a DNA test report from her bag and slammed it on the table. "You're not even a child of the Yi family!"
Yi Luowa's mind buzzed with a deafening noise as her body swayed violently. She wasn't a member of the Yi family? Then whose child was she?
Two large hands grabbed Yi Luowa's arms almost simultaneously. Uncle Li firmly held her shoulders as Tong Airui's calm voice reached her ears, "Steady yourself! You should be glad you're not her daughter."
Yi Luowa steadied herself, glancing at the two large hands still holding her arms. Mi Chenshuo and Tong Aino exchanged a glance and quickly released their grip.
Yi Luowa raised her eyes to Xi Meichen. "I'm not a Yi family child. Then whose child am I?"
"You're an abandoned orphan! Your biological parents probably foresaw that you were a 'sweeping star,' so they didn't want you! Haha... boohoo..." Xi Meichen laughed manically before collapsing into tears.
Yi Shaoqing supported his mother, "Mom, then where is my real sister?"
Xi Meichen, with tears streaming down her face, looked at her son and said, "Your real sister went missing after she was born. We went crazy trying to find her, but we couldn't. Your grandfather had hoped for this child for so many years. So your father and I decided to bring this sweeping star into the family to avoid upsetting him. But if I'd known how cursed she'd be, I wouldn't have brought her into our home even if I'd been beaten to death."
"Bastard! My mom has already explained everything so clearly, and you're still not getting out!" Watching the dazed Yi Luowa, Yi Lingfei felt immensely vindicated. Yi Luowa wasn't a Yi family member, which meant that everything in the family would belong to her and that useless Yi Shaoqing! Haha, heaven is on my side!
Yi Shaoqing looked at Yi Luowa with an extremely complicated expression. "You should leave; don't stay here to humiliate yourself."
Yi Luowa curled her lips and said softly, "No wonder you had me sign that declaration severing mother-daughter ties. This is what you've been waiting for."
"I knew you wouldn't play nice. The Yi family's wealth will never fall into your hands!" Xi Meichen said viciously. "You all can leave now!"
Sitting at his computer, Tong Airui cracked his knuckles slightly and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Li, step in."
Tong Aino exchanged a glance with Uncle Li.
Uncle Li patted Yi Luowa lightly on the shoulder and then strode towards Xi Meichen, handing her a document. "Xi Meichen, this is from our Second Young Master. He asked me to give it to you. Take a look before you decide whether we should leave."
Yi Luowa turned her head to look at Mi Chenshuo and softly asked, "Did you already know what she just said?"
Mi Chenshuo shook his head. "This is the unforeseen event that Airui predicted."
"Stay calm! I'll help you get to the bottom of this!" Tong Airui's voice came to Yi Luowa's ear.
Yi Luowa nodded. She didn't believe what Xi Meichen had claimed!
"This isn't true!" A desperate wail came from across the room.
Everyone turned to look.
Xi Meichen clutched the document with trembling hands, her face ashen. With a thud, she collapsed onto the chair.
