Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Scapegoat

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qiao Baishun had an affair with a mistress and even had a child in the end.

The mistress had taken the initiative to provoke his wife, but not only did Qiao Baishun not end their relationship, he even started to beat up his wife, who was questioning him.

“You dare to say that none of this has happened?” Joanna screamed at the top of her lungs.

“Do you dare to swear that everything I said is false?”

Qiao Baishun was sweating profusely.

He was no longer as angry as before.

“Yao Lin, you shameless bitch!”

“When you seduced my father, you were only the same age as me, but your heart was more poisonous than a snake!”

“In order to live a life of luxury and gain without working, you seduced him even when you knew that my father had a wife and children.”

“Without your instigation and evil intentions, my father might not have killed my mother.”

“After you got pregnant, you often went to my mother to show off. My mother fell in a daze, and her nerves were weak because of you.”

“You’ve kept complaining and framing my mother for beating and scolding you.”

“You even twisted the truth and said that Mother wanted to find someone to get rid of the child in your stomach, further sowing discord between Father and Mother.”

“In the end, it led to an irreversible tragedy.”

Zhou Kexin was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this the love drama between concubines and wives in novels?

Chen Yu moved a chair over and placed it behind him before sitting down unhurriedly.

More than ten years ago, Joanna’s mother fell down the stairs and died in the hospital because of her injuries.

This was the cause of death that was made public.

The actual cause of death was that she was pushed from behind.

The murderer was none other than Qiao Baishun.

When he was in his thirties, Qiao Baishun married a wife who was ten years younger than him.

His wife was weak and sickly, and it was not until she was in her forties that she became pregnant.

She was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to Joanna.

Qiao Baishun had the mindset of the older generation and was highly biased towards boys.

He felt that the Qiao family’s huge assets must be inherited by a male.

His wife was not in good health. After giving birth to Joanna, she could not give birth to a second one.

He wanted to divorce and remarry, but he was afraid that his wife’s family would interfere.

A few years later, Qiao Baishun was invited to give a speech at a university.

It was also at that time that he met Yao Lin.

Still in her third year of university, Yao Lin pretended to admire Qiao Baishun and deliberately approached him.

It wasn’t difficult for Qiao Baishun to see through Yao Lin’s intentions, and he had sex with her, successfully grooming Yao Lin.

Not long after, Yao Lin became pregnant.

The ultrasound results showed that it was a boy.

“Fake, it’s all fake!!!”

Qiao Baishun rudely interrupted his daughter’s accusation and refuted, “I admit to having an affair in marriage.”

“But I didn’t kill your mother.”

“No matter how vicious I am, I can’t kill my wife.”

“Your mother knows that I cheated on you and has a deep grudge against me.”

“She died in an accident and can’t take revenge on me, so she wants you to take revenge on her behalf.”

“She deliberately distorted the truth to make you think that I’m the murderer.”

“I have indeed been lacking in love and care for you all these years, but I’m your biological father, after all. I can lie to anyone, but I won’t lie to you.”

At this point, Qiao Baishun stretched out his hands with an amiable expression.

“Good girl, throw away the glass and come to Father.”

“As long as you do that, I’ll pretend that what happened just now never happened.”

“You are still my good daughter. In the future, you and your brother will split all my assets equally.”

“Mother wouldn’t lie to me!” Joanna retorted. “The only one who would lie to me is you, you murderer!”

“Hubby, that stupid girl is possessed. She doesn’t even believe her father’s words. Instead, she believes the words of a dead woman; she’s beyond redemption.”

Yao Lin persuaded in exasperation.

“She doesn’t believe you. Don’t waste your breath here.”

“She’s just like her mother. They’re both vicious. When I was pregnant…”

“Shut up!”

Qiao Baishun glared fiercely at Yao Lin.

“Mr. Chen, I’m sorry to make a fool of myself,” Qiao Baishun forced a smile and said.

“My daughter has been possessed by a ghost for too long, and her mind is not clear. Everything she says is nonsense.”

“Please take action now and send this female ghost back to the underworld.”

Chen Yu snapped his fingers.

The glass shard in Joanna’s hand flew out, hitting the wall and shattering into pieces.

Chen Yu extended his finger and pointed at the air.

A golden light enveloped the female ghost.

“Mother, don’t leave me!”

Joanna charged at the female ghost without a care.

At the same time, the female ghost disappeared quickly.

“I’ll remember Mr. Chen’s great kindness. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I’ll do my best to help.”

“As for the 100 million I promised you, I’ll arrange for someone to transfer it tomorrow.”

“It’s getting late. I’ll send someone to send the two of you back.”

Qiao Baishun called the butler over and told him to prepare the car.

He would send Chen Yu and Zhou Kexin back to the city.

“Mr. Qiao, why are you in such a hurry to let me go? Aren’t you afraid that you and your wife will lose your lives after I leave?” Chen Yu asked, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Qiao Baishun and Yao Lin’s expressions changed drastically.

The two looked at each other, and the same thought appeared.

Chen Yu actually didn’t send the female ghost away.

The ghost of his deceased wife seemed to have disappeared, but she was still here.

“Dr. Chen, you can’t go back on your word!”

“I’ve already promised to give you the money tomorrow. Why won’t you send the ghost away?”

Qiao Baishun asked unhappily.

Yao Lin seemed to have thought of something and whispered into Qiao Baishun’s ear.

Qiao Baishun frowned, his tone becoming stiff.

“Name your price. How much will it take to completely resolve this matter?”

“You’ve misunderstood my meaning,” Chen Yu said coolly. “When I said that your life is in danger, I meant that in another way.”

“For example…”

Chen Yu looked at Joanna with a meaningful gaze.

Following his gaze, Qiao Baishun and his wife looked at Joanna, kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.

“Joanna, do you really hate me that much?”

“Would you kill your father because of a ghost’s nonsense?”

Qiao Baishun asked heartbrokenly.

Joanna slowly stood up from the ground. She wiped her tears and said, “Although I hate you, you are still my father. I never wanted to kill you.”

“Mr. Chen, you have nothing else to do here. Please leave.”

“In a while, I plan to have a good talk with my father.”

Joanna said as she dismissed Chen Yu.

“You two, father and daughter, are really of the same lineage,” Chen Yu said calmly.

“Both of you can’t wait for me to leave.”

“Your father asked me to leave to save his face and prevent more scandals from being leaked.”

“As for you, you want me to be the scapegoat.”

“Your family’s remuneration is really not that easy to earn.”

“If I leave now, I’m afraid I’ll be sent to the police station tomorrow.”

“Other than me, I’m afraid there’s also her.”

“Once you put the blame on us, even if we have ten mouths, we might not be able to explain it clearly.”

Chen Yu looked at Zhou Kexin, who was currently eating a melon.

“Why would we be in the police station?”

Zhou Kexin asked in a daze..
