nAfter hanging up the call, Xia Xibei stood up from the sofa and did some stretching.
n
n
nShe sure knew she wasn’t the biological child of the Xia family, however, neither was she interested in looking for her own biological parents.
n
n
nAll the ties she shared with them had been severed from the time they decided to sell her to Dong Shulan back then.
n
n
nHaving lived two lifetimes, Xia Xibei had learnt a lesson: it is best to rely on yourself, because mountains against which you lean, collapse; and people upon whom you depend, vanish.
n
n
nHence, in this lifetime, she would march to the top all by herself!
n
n
nXia Shahai came over early the next morning, with a dark, overcast look on his face, as if a thunderstorm was approaching.
n
n
nHe had never thought of being threatened by a little girl! And that little girl was even his own daughter!
n
n
nAs he kept his eyes on Xia Xibei who was sitting on the sofa, he subconsciously dashed over, raised his hand high, and slammed it down on her!
n
n
n“Ahh!”
n
n
nXia Xibei clasped her cheek and fell backward onto the sofa.
n
n
n“Godda*n little girl, how dare you ask money from me?!”
n
n
nXia Shahai furiously berated as he held back the urge to give another slap.
n
n
n“Ahh!”
n
n
nHowever, he let out an agonized scream the next moment and staggered a few steps back, collapsing into another narrow sofa.
n
n
nHe clutched at his own belly and stared at Xia Xibei in disbelief. “How dare you fight me back?!”
n
n
n“Mister Xia, you have forgotten something.” Xia Xibei stood up and dropped the hand that was covering her cheek. There wasn’t the slightest mark on her face.
n
n
nShe was looking down at him from above, with an indifferent look in her eyes. “If I had the courage to call you and ask for money, I sure enough wasn’t afraid that you’d raise a hand to me.”
n
n
nShe went on, “If you remain adamant, I have no choice but to hand the evidence over to the police. I’d like to know, the manager of a traded company who had abandoned his own child and even beat up his abandoned daughter… I suppose the reporters would be intrigued to know about such incidents.”
n
n
n“What… what do you mean?”
n
n
nXia Shahai looked at her in apprehension.
n
n
nXia Xibei responded by getting hold of her phone from the side and clicking the start of the video that was just recorded. She turned the screen to him.
n
n
nAs he watched his own ferocious self and the slap he gave, Xia Shahai’s face turned ashen.
n
n
nHe was tricked!
n
n
nBesides, the phone held in Xia Xibei’s hand was the new product of a well-known brand, which cost at least 5,000 yuan!
n
n
nFrom where did she get the money?!
n
n
nThat wasn’t the point, of course; the point was, Xia Xibei had gotten the whole incident recorded. If it were made public, it would be a big shame on him!
n
n
n“Give me your phone!”
n
n
nXia Shahai stood up and darted toward her. However, he was kicked back onto the sofa midway.
n
n
nHe stared at Xia Xibei in total disbelief. Since when had she acquired such intrepid power?
n
n
nA malicious smile appeared on Xia Xibei’s gorgeous face. “Mister Xia, do you still think I’m still the little girl who let herself be bullied and never fought back?”
n
n
nXia Shahai wanted a son, but she was a daughter, so it was a norm for her to get scolded and beaten.
n
n
nXia Shahai couldn’t help but shudder, Xia Xibei’s reaction was terrifying!
n
n
n“Aren’t you afraid that I will reveal what happened to you to the public?!” Xia Shahai shouted, seeming stern but weak inside.
n
n
n“Just do it,” Xia Xibei shrugged. “But whose words do you think are more convincing? If I upload this video, and go to the reporters and the police to lodge a tearful complaint… I suppose you can imagine the outcome. All I’m asking for right now are the 200,000 yuan that I deserve and this tiny house, is that too much?”
n
n
nAs he watched Xia Xibei speaking the intimidating words with a calm look on her face, Xia Shahai felt his blood run cold.
n
n
nHe thought… Xia Xibei must have been possessed!
n
n
nHowever, even if that was true, he had no other way out!
n
n
nEventually, he gritted his teeth. “Alright, I’ll give it to you!”
n
n
nXia Xibei finally beamed cheerfully. “That’s the right way. That way, we don’t have to waste any time.”
