Chapter 1019 - 1039: Where Is the Thing Hidden?
"Yes, at the beginning, you indeed forced the old man with your life just to marry me, almost severing ties."
Xia Zhennan sneered, "That only proves I’m charming!
But through all these years, Du Fengjun, do you know how I’ve been?
I’ve constantly yielded, constantly tried to please you and the old man, yet I still couldn’t gain his trust!
He investigated me behind my back and never transferred real power of the company to me!
For so many years, I’ve endured, and now that he’s dead, I can finally breathe freely; it’s like I’ve finally reached the end! Hahaha!"
Xia Zhennan gritted his teeth while speaking, his expression twisted as he laughed loudly.
Mrs. Xia was completely stunned; she took a step back, leaning on Li Ren beside her, looking at him in disbelief.
"Back then, my dad was right! You were nothing but an ungrateful wolf! Who gave you everything? Turns out, you’ve been plotting all along, right from the start, it was all for our Du family’s wealth!"
Xia Zhennan reached out his hand and hooked her chin.
"Why? Do you think I would treat you like this if it wasn’t for the money? From head to toe, besides your spoiled princess attitude, what else is attractive about you? For years, I’ve labored like a horse for the Du Family, now all I have is what I deserve! It seems you’ve never really respected me!"
"You... how can you say that... you..." Mrs. Xia clutched her chest, suddenly unable to catch her breath, and fainted.
"Madam! Madam!" Li Ren shouted loudly.
With a cold sneer in his eyes, Xia Zhennan turned, glancing at the lawyer in the corner.
"Let’s go. I can’t stand staying in this ominous place for another second!"
"Okay!"

The next day, after finishing Mr. Du’s funeral, Mrs. Xia called Qi Yue.
Qi Yue didn’t expect Mrs. Xia to contact her at this time.
Seeing Mrs. Xia’s worn-out look, she felt really distressed.
However, she couldn’t call Xiaonuan.
Because she didn’t have Xiaonuan’s number and didn’t dare contact the Crown Prince.
She could only comfort Mrs. Xia, telling her to grieve moderately and avoid harming her health, as Xiaonuan would be heartbroken.
Mrs. Xia dressed in a black coat, looked at her, a shadow of something passing through her eyes.
"I understand, thank you, Miss Qi Yue," Mrs. Xia said politely.
Qi Yue nodded.
At this moment, Mrs. Xia handed her a stack of documents from her bag.
Qi Yue was slightly stunned, looking at Mrs. Xia, "Mrs. Xia, what’s this?"
"This is for Xiaonuan. Miss Qi Yue, please give this to her when she returns. For now, don’t tell anyone except Xiaonuan about this matter."
Qi Yue nodded, but curiously asked, "Mrs. Xia, why don’t you give it to Xiaonuan directly when she returns?"
Mrs. Xia’s eyes flashed with a hidden meaning.
"I’ve been quite busy lately, and I don’t know when I will see her again. So leaving this with you makes me feel at ease."
Qi Yue nodded.
Her gaze drifted to the contract atop.
In black and white, it was a share transfer agreement.
Qi Yue didn’t understand these things, but felt it might be related to Mr. Xia’s death. Nevertheless, she didn’t think too much.
After Mrs. Xia left, she thought for a moment and looked around.
This thing should be very important.
She looked around again, unable to find a very secure place in the house for now.
