1842 My Choice (4)
Xue Zhelang’s heart went up and then down as he listened to the lawyer’s words, and finally, it seemed to stop moving.
The right of inheritance had actually fallen to Xue Pingze?!
He was still planning to get the inheritance, but what he wanted fell into Xue Pingze’s hands?!
“By what right?!” Xue Zhelang’s face was grim and he couldn’t help but stand up and ask loudly.
“On what grounds will everything be given to him?! I am not convinced!”
All the anger and disobedience surged in Xue Zhelang’s heart, making his eyes red. He felt ready to explode.
Although he had gotten a little something, compared to what Xue Pingze had, it was a drop in the bucket!
Looking at him so angry, the patriarch gave him a deep look, his eyes complicated and bizarre.
“Zhelang,” the patriarch said indifferently. “What do you disagree with my decision?”
“I am not convinced!” Xue Zhelang shook his head. “I am obviously more capable than him. Why him and not me?!”
“Because-”
“Because he’s the one I chose.”
Before the patriarch’s words could be spoken, they were interrupted by a female voice.
Xue Zhelang’s anger also froze, staring incredulously at the woman who had spoken out.
“You!” He widened his eyes in disbelief and just looked at Xia Xibei. “What did you say?!”
“Because he’s the one I chose,” Xia Xibei turned up the corner of her mouth and repeated.
She just stood in front of everyone with her head up, her posture elegant and perfect, but when she said the big words, it was as scary as a bomb.
Everyone was a little confused. What did she mean Xue Pingze was the one she chose?
In fact, there were quite a few people who were confused.
Wasn’t today the Xue family meeting? Why would a strange woman appear here?
Oh no, it was not too strange. After all, quite a few people had seen her on TV or online.
Although they were not fully aware of what scandal she had now, wasn’t she just a starlet?
It was one thing for her to stand next to the patriarch, and everyone looked at her as the patriarch’s mistress.
However, why was she speaking?
What was even scarier was why the patriarch didn’t criticize her?!
“None of your business! This is the Xue family, it’s not your place to talk!” Xue Zhelang looked at her with hostility in his eyes.
“Shut up!”
The patriarch’s face was grim, but he was talking to Xue Zhelang.
“Dr. Qi.” The patriarch looked at Xia Xibei with respectful eyes and a slightly lowered head, “Don’t be angry, I will discipline him properly.”
Dr. Qi? Her?
The patriarch’s address to Xia Xibei, as well as his attitude, shocked everyone.
Xia Xibei was actually a doctor?
Then when they thought about the patriarch’s recovery, everyone was stunned.
This couldn’t be!
How old was she? How could she have such skills?
Did she use some exotic medicine for the patriarch’s recovery?
Everyone’s mind was in turmoil, but they didn’t dare to speak up.
“Dr. Qi is the great savior who saved me. Without her, I would not have gotten better.” The patriarch looked at everyone with a warning in his eyes. “So show her some respect!”
The patriarch’s admission caused everyone to gasp.
It was true?!
“Impossible!” Xue Zhelang’s eyes panicked as he immediately shook his head and denied it. “She’s just a little celebrity, how could she have such a skill! Dad, you should not be deceived!”
“Deceived?” Xia Xibei snorted. “How can I lie to him? Lie to him that he doesn’t have the disease?”
As soon as those words came out, Xue Zhelang’s anger froze.
Yes, this was cancer. How could Xia Xibei lie about it?
It wasn’t like it was something that could be lied about!
