Chapter 306: 207 Recognizing Relatives (2) Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, stepping on him to climb up the ladder_3

“Why stop him? Let him come up. With so many people here, surely he doesn’t intend to commit violence in public, to attack me, does he?” Shen Zhixian chuckled, seemingly fearless.

After Xie Jing reached the stage, he adjusted his suit, which had become wrinkled from the scuffle, and looked up at Shen Zhixian with a smile. “Shen Zhixian, what did you mean by what you just said?”

His gaze momentarily swept over Old Xie who had stepped aside, who hadn’t stopped him—a tacit approval of his actions. This emboldened Xie Jing even more.

“Indeed, I admit to deliberately agitating the employees, but you should also consider whether you’re worthy!”

“How has the Xie Family treated you? You’re well aware of that. They gave you a status, introduced you so grandly, and were sincerely good to you. The moment their backs were turned, you stabbed them in the back. Do you have a conscience?”

Shen Zhixian laughed lightly. “I’m heartless? I simply took back what I deserved. Is that wrong?”

“So you say, you’re unworthy of carrying the Xie name! Everything I do is for the Xie Family, for the company!”

Audience members below the stage were dumbstruck!

They had known that this family reunion banquet might not go smoothly, but they hadn’t expected it to turn into a public confrontation right from the start.

Shen Zhixian seemed indifferent to his accusations, responding with a composed smile. “Xie Jing, you keep saying everything is for the Xie Family, for the company?”

“As righteous as you sound, let me ask you, why did you have someone leak my scandal online—calling me an illegitimate daughter, smearing my name!”

“This matter even implicated the Xie Family’s reputation. If you’re doing it for the Xie Family, why drag the entire family down in order to attack me?”

“Don’t find such noble excuses for your own selfishness!”

Online scandal?

Xie Jing had someone leak it? The crowd below immediately erupted into speculation.

“You’re talking nonsense!” Xie Jing didn’t expect her to suddenly bring this up, and he exploded with anger.

“Feeling guilty?” Shen Zhixian laughed, completely unflustered.

“Who’s feeling guilty? Shen Zhixian, I’m telling you, evidence is required for these matters. If you can produce evidence, do so. Otherwise, this is slander and defamation, and I will sue you for libel!”

“I’m slandering you?” Shen Zhixian seemed to hear a ridiculous joke.

“Besides smearing me and the Xie Family’s reputation outside, inside the company, you’ve been forming cliques for personal gain, cozying up with the backbone of various departments, interacting closely with them—what’s all this for?”

“Don’t tell me it’s just because you get along?”

“Getting along so well that you bribe them? Who’s truly harming Xie Corp—is it me, or is it you, harboring ill-intentions, seizing power in the chaos, trying to topple the entire Xie Family!”

Shen Zhixian’s words were forceful, every sentence carrying the weight of a ‘Heart Execution.’

Xie Jing, who had initially thought about how to explain the online revelation, was caught off guard by her sudden shift in attack, firing a shot in another direction—he couldn’t regain his composure!

He felt as though his entire life was about to be exposed!

Furious beyond measure!

“Shen Zhixian, quit spouting nonsense here! When have I ever formed cliques? If you can, bring out the evidence!” Xie Jing was anxious.

Leaking scandals online could somehow be explained, but forming factions within the company was something all organizations, especially large corporations, avoided at all costs. Even if it weren’t for the sake of usurping the company, resigning could lead to the loss of key personnel!

No one could tolerate that.

And Shen Zhixian’s accusations were even more severe—the seizure of power, the overthrow of the Xie Family!

Any of these allegations were enough for a ‘Heart Execution,’ enough to end Xie Jing’s life.

“Rest assured, I dare to accuse you publicly because I have evidence in hand. You say I have no conscience? What about you? Your reputation outside over the years is there for everyone to see. Have you brought benefits to the Xie Family?”

“You owe your today’s status all to what the Xie Family has given you. Without the Xie Family, I can still support myself.”

“What about you? You’re so confident—why don’t you leave the Xie Family and make your own way without them, instead of clinging to them like a festering parasite, feasting on their flesh and sucking their blood!”

“That’s why I say…” Shen Zhixian sneered, with a trace of chill in her eyes, “Xie Jing…”

“You’re utterly unworthy of being a man!”

Shen Zhixian appeared dignified, hardly one to be so outspoken and aggressive. Suddenly behaving in such a manner shocked the audience into silence.

This new daughter of the Shen Family…

Was not to be trifled with!

In truth, Shen Zhixian herself wasn’t usually like this, but deep down she knew that Xie Jing, if left unchecked within the Xie Family, posed a great threat to both her and Taotao.

A mother’s resolve was strong; she was determined to crush Xie Jing.

“Shen Zhixian, I dare you to say that again!” Xie Jing suddenly rushed over intending to hit her!

Xie Family members surged towards the stage, and Jiang Yanting immediately sprang up from his seat, but Jiang Zhenhuan coolly grabbed his arm, “Sit down!”

Jiang Yanting’s eyes flickered, fixed on Xie Jing with a ferocious glare.

“Sit down!” Jiang Zhenhuan furrowed his brow.

Jiang Yanting had no choice but to sit down!

And just as Xie Jing was about to lay his hand on Shen Zhixian, everyone holding their breath, a cane swooped in from one side, blocking between the two, and directly pressed against Xie Jing’s clenched fist!

“What are you doing? I’m still standing here; I’m not dead yet!” Old Xie suddenly spoke up.noveldrama

“Grandfather—” Xie Jing was still afraid of him.

“Want to fight? Come on, try hitting her in front of me!”

“Grandfather, she’s spouting nonsense! Everything she said is a fabrication; please don’t believe her. I just couldn’t stand her trying to divide the Xie Family, so I took some action. The truth isn’t at all like what she said!” Xie Jing was becoming increasingly desperate as he defended himself.

“I’m asking you if you’re going to hit her!” Old Xie didn’t care what he had said earlier!

“I’m not!” Where would Xie Jing dare admit that at this moment, he wished he could kill Shen Zhixian!

“Then put your hand down!”

The old man’s voice boomed like a bell, resounding with authority!

Tang Wan sat in the audience, chin resting on one hand, watching as events unfolded one after another. She was sharp-witted, seeing right through Shen Zhixian’s intentions, and those among the audience who had some insight also understood what was happening.

Xie Jing wanted to use the crowd to oppose her, but Shen Zhixian…

Intended to use him as a warning to others, to climb over him to a higher position!
