Chapter 901: Chapter 901: Obtaining a Confession by Trickery

Xia Wealth’s complexion changed drastically; if he were to publicly admit his wrongdoings to the media, his reputation would be utterly ruined. How could he ever do such a thing?

Ye Xingguang waited for a while but did not hear Xia Wealth’s confession. She scoffed, “Is this what you call willing to make amends for Xia Qiongqiong, your willingness to do anything for Xia Qiongqiong? It’s just empty talk, right?”

After she finished speaking, she said to Ye Junqing, “Ah Qing, let’s go.”

“Mhm.”

Xiao Yun had already arrived with his bodyguards, protecting the two of them thoroughly.

Wang Zimei wanted to get close to Ye Xingguang, but Xiao Yun did not give her the chance.

Seeing that the pair were about to leave, Wang Zimei was unwilling to give up: “Wealth, what should we do?”

They indeed had not treated their daughter well, so it was within their expectations that their daughter would refuse to recognize them. Therefore, they had to try even harder to mend the relationship with their daughter. Now that the media had reported on their daughter’s identity, she was another national treasure; this national treasure couldn’t belong to someone else, it had to be theirs. It seemed that without showing some sincerity, they wouldn’t be able to move this young lady.

Xia Wealth said, “Qiongqiong, Daddy will show you with real actions that he truly regrets. Give Daddy a chance.”

Ye Xingguang stopped in her tracks and looked at Xia Wealth, “Then show me your real actions, let me know that you truly regret and genuinely have the parental love a parent should have for their child.”

Ye Xingguang did not believe that Xia Wealth would confess his misdeeds to the media, so she didn’t expect it, simply saying, “I just need you to answer three questions in front of the journalists.”

“First, when you initially decided to have another daughter, was it because Xia Yanyan had chronic granulocytic leukemia and you were afraid that her illness would affect her status as a national treasure? So you concealed her condition and secretly had Xia Qiongqiong to donate bone marrow to her?”

A crowd of journalists surged forward, pointing their microphones at Xia Wealth, eager to hear his response.

Xia Wealth, wanting to smooth things over with Ye Xingguang, was forced to answer this question. His face was a portrait of pain: “Yes, but we did it to save our daughter. Please understand our desperate parental love; we are just parents trying to save our child.”

This was a question the public could actually understand, so it wasn’t hard for Xia Wealth to answer.

Ye Xingguang didn’t plan to ask sharp questions from the start, “Fine, I understand you. After Xia Qiongqiong was born, she didn’t meet your expectations in looks and you were unwilling to reveal her existence. But you needed her to donate bone marrow to Xia Yanyan. Is it true that after donating bone marrow, her health began to deteriorate, yet you refused to care for her, refused to take her to the hospital for treatment, and just allowed her condition to worsen into a serious illness?”

Xia Wealth did not want to answer this question. He looked for a reasonable explanation, but Ye Xingguang had already started to walk away.

“It’s true!” Xia Wealth said anxiously, “Your health deteriorated after the bone marrow donation, but we didn’t know it would be like this at the time. The doctors all promoted that donating bone marrow doesn’t impact health, we didn’t expect such serious after-effects–leading you to become more and more ill…”

Heh, so they don’t admit their neglect worsened her illness, only attributing her condition to after-effects?

Ye Xingguang suppressed her anger, scoffing, “The third question–when Xia Qiongqiong was critically ill, Xia Yanyan, ignoring Xia Qiongqiong’s severe condition, dragged her to the deck, challenging her to a race by jumping into the sea for a swim. But when she jumped, didn’t Xia Yanyan not jump at all? Then, did you three just take the boat and leave, abandoning her in the vast ocean?”
