Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 443: 444: Not a Single Doubt Remains

Chapter 443: Chapter 444: Not a Single Doubt Remains

“I would regret seeing him die?” Senior Master Xiang chuckled scornfully. “You swapped my daughter with your son, and then discarded my daughter. If it weren’t for her destined survival, being adopted by kind people, she wouldn’t even have had the chance to grow up! He’s the son of my enemy, why would I regret his death? Not only do I wish him dead, but I wish him to experience all the pain before a dismal death! I want him to lose everything, to die a disgraceful death!”

“No, no!” Gao Qiaolan shook her head desperately, “He’s your son, he has called you ‘father’ for so many years, you can’t be so heartless, you can’t!”

Senior Master Xiang taunted her: “Didn’t you say he’s not your son? If he’s not your son, why do you care so much?”

“I…I…” Gao Qiaolan stuttered, unable to find a reason.

Truth be told, she was dumbstruck with fear.

All these years, her son had been the heir to the Xiang family, comfortably living his life. How did his true identity suddenly get exposed?

What can she do now?

She swapped her son with the Xiang family’s daughter to give her son a decent life, not to sentence him to death!

Senior Master Xiang had no doubts left.

Xiang Jiechao was indeed this woman’s son!

The son he loved for over forty years turned out to be the chief culprit who swapped his biological daughter!

His eyes turned red with rage as he glared at Gao Qiaolan.

If it weren’t for her unique status, he’d kill this vicious woman himself.

Gao Qiaolan trembled violently under his hateful gaze.

She was just an ordinary housewife.

Back then, to let her son survive, she asked her sister to swap her son with the Xiang family’s daughter. It was the boldest thing she had ever done in her life.

Now the truth is out, her son might die. Her face had gone pale, and she was besides herself with fear.

Looking at Senior Master Xiang, she said with a trembling voice, “Jiechao… despite being my son, he has been raised by you. You’ve raised him for over forty years. Even pets raised for a few years develop affection. How is Jiechao different from a biological son to you after forty years? You…you can’t hurt Jiechao, otherwise, God will strike you down!”

“Don’t you think you’re the one who should get struck by lightning?” Gu Junzhu, standing behind Senior Master Xiang, sneered, “To ensure the survival of your son, you took away someone else’s daughter, and abandoned her without care. If someone as cruel and cold-hearted as you hasn’t been struck by lightning, what is there for others to fear?”

“I…I didn’t mean to!” Gao Qiaolan said in desperate tears, “Jiechao was so small when he was born, we were poor, he wouldn’t have survived if he stayed. I just wanted him to live, and…I exchanged my son for your daughter, girls are less valued, but our Jiechao is a precious boy! If it weren’t for Jiechao, the Xiang family would be without a descendant!”

Gu Junzhu almost couldn’t help but laugh, watching her intently, “So by that logic, my Uncle Xiang ended up benefiting from your deeds?”

“Yes, yes!” Gao Qiaolan nodded furiously, looking at Senior Master Xiang, “Rest assured, I will never reveal this secret to Jiechao in my lifetime. He doesn’t know anything, just treat him as your son! You don’t have a son, the Xiang family can only carry on with a son. Treat Jiechao as the one who was adopted from our family, our Jiechao is so excellent! Handsome and capable, don’t hurt Jiechao, let Jiechao look after you when you’re old! If anything happens to Jiechao, the Xiang family won’t have another chance at a descendant!”
