“Well, it turns out that I’ve been raising someone else’s trash for 18 years!” Once they were in the room, Xia Dengfeng insisted that Xia Zhiwan was not his biological child and slapped her hatefully.
Madame Xia, who followed upstairs to plead, was also knocked onto the floor. “Is it you? Did you cheat on me?!”
Madame Xia knelt and pleaded, “I didn’t, I really didn’t! If you don’t believe it, we can get a paternity test!”
Every minute and every second of waiting was torture to Xia Zhiwan. If she was not the Xia family’s daughter, she must be the greatest joke of all time.
The moment the paternity test report was out, Xia Zhiwan let out a breath of relief and sank onto the ground. It was written that Xia Zhiwan was Xia Dengfeng’s biological child.
Xia Dengfeng’s expression started becoming complex. “You’re really my child… But why don’t you have the ability?”
For hundreds of years, the Xia family had relied on this ability to find jewels in countless ordinary-looking stones. Thus, they could buy them at low prices and sell them at high prices. That was how they dominated the industry!
Every leader of the Xia family had become a guest of honor in countless political and business situations because of this ability. This was a major driving force behind their huge profits!
However, Xia Zhiwan could not awaken the ability during the coming of age ceremony!
Xia Dengfeng knew very well that his ability was rapidly getting weaker. At this stage, he was mainly making judgments based on his experience instead of his intuition.
At this point, the Xia family might lose their long domination in the jewelry industry. Their rivals might even come together to suppress them!
He definitely could not let that happen!
“Father, maybe my ability will awaken a little later, or… Even if I don’t have the ability, I’ll continue to study hard… ” Xia Zhiwan wept and pleaded with her father to not give up on her.
Xia Dengfeng had a dejected expression. He shook his head, sighed, and left.
Naturally, countless people were following the Xia family’s news.
Everyone knew Xia Dengfeng’s worries and became ambitious. At this moment, the Xia family’s situation was very worrying as their successor turned out to be trash. If they did not take advantage to take over the jewelry industry, what were they waiting for?
Xia Zhiwan, who was still flattered by others a few days ago, had become the main focus for gossip. Even the Xia family’s ordinary employees were looking down at her and mocking her in their hearts.
Soon, they were going to get taken advantage of, so Master Xia was busy dealing with various matters.
Xia Zhiwan had followed her father to the company. “Dad, what can I do to make up for the company’s losses?”
“Get lost! You don’t need to do anything. Just don’t interrupt me.”
Her father, who once loved her deeply, had only complete disgust in his eyes toward her.
Xia Zhiwan went back home from the company in tears. She thought in her heart, ‘As long as He Tianhao is there, I won’t be afraid.”
It was as if He Tianhao had heard her call. He arrived at her house almost the same time as she did!
However, who knew that he came to break the marriage? He even said, “I don’t want to marry trash.”
Xia Zhiwan looked at He Tianhao in disbelief. “But… Haven’t you been pursuing me for a long time? Didn’t you say that you’ll love me forever?”
“I only loved you because you could awaken the ability and become the Xia family’s successor. However, now you’re just junk that can’t become the Xia family’s successor. So what use do you have for me?”
“From the beginning, could it be that you only wanted to marry me because of my family’s company?”
“Yes, it was never true love, so just give up.”
Xia Zhiwan was shaking. “No, this can’t be true… You said that you didn’t just love me because of my family’s wealth. Did you forget that you’ve given me a ring?”
He Tianhao immediately changed his demeanor. He frowned impatiently and reached out his hand to take back the wedding ring he had previously given her. “What I love is the Xia family’s true daughter with the secret bloodline ability, not trash like you. So, stop bothering me.”
Xia Zhiwan wanted to touch him, but He Tianhao avoided her as if he was avoiding some poisonous creature. He then pushed her onto the ground. “Paparazzi have been surrounding your house to take pictures, so don’t come any closer. I don’t want people to misunderstand!”
Seeing his back without any trace of longing for her, Xia Zhiwan sat on the ground and looked at her empty ring finger. She suddenly forced a bitter laugh, which was followed by loud, painful cries. She looked like a lunatic as she cried and laughed simultaneously. Her past glory was nowhere to be seen.
Was a person’s worth determined by whether or not they possess special abilities? Were people without any special abilities not deserved to be loved?
Xia Zhiwan hated that she was powerless, but she also wished that someone could understand her helplessness and pain at that moment.
