The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

It felt as if her blood had turned ice-cold…

Hai Xiaotang didn’t understand why she was so terrified, but she couldn’t control the fear at the bottom of her heart.

She even thought of running away, not wanting to hear anything.

But there she stood still, mechanically asking: “Why?”

Dongfang Yu also mechanically responded, “Because the Dongfang Family was falsely accused, charged with treason! The vast Dongfang Family was destroyed overnight! My grandmother, along with my father’s younger brother and sister, unable to bear the humiliation in prison, took their own lives. Just as the Dongfang Family was on the brink of total destruction, your grandfather stepped forward and saved my grandfather and my father. He even helped them clear their names, allowing the Dongfang Family to rise again.”

Hai Xiaotang looked surprised, “You mean, my grandfather saved them?”

“Yes!” Dongfang Yu said emotionlessly, “This is a great favor, so my grandfather made a will during his lifetime. The descendants of the Dongfang Family should marry the daughters of the Hai Family, and share in their future prosperity. If they do not abide by the will, they would have to give half of their family wealth to the Hai Family.”

Hai Xiaotang was shocked for a moment.

She had only known about the first part of the will, and did not know about the part where they had to give up half of their property.

No wonder when she initially wanted a divorce, her uncle and aunt insisted that Dongfang Yu had to give up half of the property.

Hai Xiaotang seemed to think of something, suddenly brightens up “So, my grandfather was taken away, and there won’t be any trouble, just a simple investigation, right?”

“Over the years, we never gave up on looking for the person who framed the Dongfang Family. However, over the past several years, we finally found a clue.” Dongfang Yu responded with an irrelevant answer, plunging Hai Xiaotang instantly into hell.

“That is, it has to do with your grandfather!”

“…” Hai Xiaotang stepped back in shock, “What did you say?!”

Dongfang Yu was emotionless, “It’s related to him. He confessed it himself last night.”

“Impossible—” Hai Xiaotang suddenly objected with great agitation, “How could it be related to my grandfather, my grandfather is not that kind of person, you talk nonsense!”

“Dongfang Yu, you must have made a mistake, it absolutely has nothing to do with my grandfather! If there was a relation, why would he save you? You really made a mistake!”

“I wish it had nothing to do with him!” Dongfang Yu’s jaw tensed, “But he confessed! Hai Xiaotang, he confessed!”

“…” Hai Xiaotang couldn’t believe her eyes, everything suddenly became clear!

The world inside her heart collapsed in an instant.

No, it felt like the whole world had collapsed…

Hai Xiaotang’s blood ran cold, her tears unconsciously trickling down.

“So… this is all your scheme, right?” She asked, trembling while staring at him, “You, you are the one who framed me, right?”

Dongfang Yu pursed his lips, choosing to stay silent instead of confirming.

Hai Xiaotang felt a sharp pain in her heart, so intense she almost fainted.

“You deliberately framed me, in order to force my grandfather to confess, right?”

“…” Dongfang Yu still did not respond.

Hai Xiaotang, swaying slightly, asked again, babbling, “So everything was false, you were just acting… everything was just to frame me, to pressure my grandfather into telling the truth, it was all a conspiracy… fake, all fake, right?”

“…”

“Is it?!” She suddenly roared out.
