Chapter 307: 208 Recognizing Relatives (3) Even with the Warmest Smile, One Dares to Kill with a Knife

Xie Jing’s grandfather intervened personally, so naturally, Xie Jing did not dare to act rashly.

“Grandpa…” He clenched his fists tightly, his gaze fixed on Shen Zhixian, his eyes fierce, harboring deep hatred toward Shen Zhixian, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, after all these years, you should clearly know what I have been like in the Xie Family.”

“Splurging money, taking company funds, supporting women, and using the Xie Family’s name to swindle outside…”

Shen Zhixian listed them one by one.

“What the hell are you talking about!”

Many people present knew about Xie Jing’s issues, but having them pointed out publicly was a different matter altogether.

“If you think I am wrong, you can sue me, bring evidence to refute me, and confront me in court.” Shen Zhixian spoke only the truth and was naturally not afraid of confrontation, “I’m just afraid…”

“You don’t dare!”

“You…” Xie Jing trembled in anger, his teeth chattering.

But with Xie Jing’s grandfather standing between them, even though the atmosphere was tense and confrontational, no one dared to act impulsively.

“Zhixian, you mentioned having evidence, let me take a look at it.” Xie Jing’s grandfather stroked his cane, his back slightly hunched from age, but his eyes were still exceptionally sharp.

“Please wait a moment,” Shen Zhixian said hurriedly as she left the stage.

“Grandpa, do you really believe what she said? She is just…” Xie Jing did not finish his sentence as the old man shot him a cold glance.

“Since you claim to be innocent, what are you afraid she might bring out?”

It was a resounding statement, beautifully put!

Tang Wan could only sigh in admiration. Old ginger indeed was hotter than young, with one sentence Xie Jing was left speechless.

“What’s the matter? Are you scared? If you have skeletons in your closet we can discuss this privately, but afterwards, I won’t be able to ensure justice for you.”

Xie Jing’s grandfather said lightly while stroking his cane, yet effectively pushing Xie Jing into the spotlight.

He gritted his teeth, “I’m not afraid, I’m worried she might fabricate evidence to slander me.”

“I am old but not blind; do you also worry that I might favor her?” Xie Jing’s grandfather raised an eyebrow, glancing at him, “I can still distinguish whether the evidence is real or fake.”

His tone was light, but his words carried weight.

“Grandpa, that’s not what I meant!” Xie Jing dared not argue.

In just a minute or two, Shen Zhixian returned, holding a kraft paper bag in her hands, climbed the stage, opened it, and when she reached Xie Jing’s grandfather, handed him several documents.

The old man passed her his cane and started to inspect the documents seriously.

Xie Jing tensed up entirely, his eyes darting to the documents, unable to make out a single word, while some people in the audience even stood up excitedly, hoping to catch a glimpse.

Everyone was curious about what was in those documents!

Xie Jing’s heart was in his throat, feeling as if a blade was at his neck, shaky and nervous, as if any minor movement could lead him to utter ruin!

Jiang Yanting suddenly remembered that Jiang Jinsang had once entrusted him with an item for Shen Zhixian, also in a kraft paper bag… this couldn’t be…

His gaze suddenly shot toward Jiang Jinsang.

Jiang Jinsang, as if sensing something, also looked at him and flashed him a smile.

Jiang Yanting sneered: You little rascal, doing such things behind my back!

He was not someone who liked to meddle in others’ affairs, even though Shen Zhixian was special to him, he probably couldn’t care less about meddling with the Xie Family. The most likely reason being that Xie Jing had offended him.

And he was merely making use of others to achieve his purpose!

Making use of his sister-in-law? You really have the guts.

Feeling the threatening glare from his elder brother, Jiang Jinsang was not at all frightened, his smile even more relaxed.

In any case…

Ever since they were young, even if Jiang Yanting was furious enough to hop around, he’d never dare harm him.

With his frail health, any slight touch and Jiang Jinsang could “play the victim,” feign death, a tried and true tactic.

During this time, Xie Jing’s grandfather continued to peruse the documents on stage. With poor eyesight due to age, he read very slowly, making the audience somewhat anxious.

Xie Jing felt as if he was being roasted over a fierce fire, both anxious and irritated.

“Grandpa?” Xie Duo had already come up on the stage, glanced at the documents and then at Xie Jing, and obediently stood aside.

Xie Jing’s grandfather earnestly read through the documents from start to end. The key contents had been marked with a highlighter, clear and easy to understand. After reading the documents, he looked at Shen Zhixian, “Is there only one copy of these documents?”

“No, there are backups.”noveldrama

He nodded, then passed the documents to Xie Jing, “Have a look and give me a reasonable explanation.”

With trembling hands, Xie Jing took the documents and slowly flipped through them.
