Quickly Wear The Face Of The Devil

FOD Chap 14.14

Xue Rui gritted his teeth and ran through his options in his mind for a while, then his distorted expression unexpectedly started relaxing. Huang Yi was more talented than his daughter, and he was now a world-class treasure pianist that the country was focusing on promoting. If he shared of his eastern wind, he could catch up to the major ships, reaching a higher level in society. And if he could climb higher than that temperamental Xue Yan, his life would become more stable. On the other hand, if the boy died, he'd be left with a talentless daughter, and if the secret of the competition substitution was revealed, he would not only lose all benefits, he'd also have to find ways to clean up the aftermath.

Huang Yi was so famous, who knew how many people were watching him from the dark, cleaning up the aftermath would be very difficult, and if the truth about his death was found out, Xue Jia would be finished.

The more Xue Rui reasoned it out, the more he recognized the advantages of keeping Huang Yi alive. If he was alive, he could win over Xue Yan, stabilize his position in the clan, and also pull the boy's strings from behind the scenes to build bridges for Xue Jia, contending for glory and interests. There was simply hundreds of benefits without any disadvantages. But if he died, it'd cause all kinds of troubles, and the troubles were all beyond his ability to clean up. Xue Jia would inevitably suffer great damage, and who knew when it would ever be healed.

Xue Rui tapped the steering wheel, finally reaching a decision. As for his daughter's heart transplant, for now, they could only keep looking. It'd be perfect if they could find another one for her, but if they couldn't, it wasn't the end of the world. They'd raised her for sixteen years, fulfilling all her wants and needs, never ill-treating her.

To put it bluntly, Xue Rui was an unscrupulous, heartless businessman. He was very good at judging the situation and taking stock. As long as it didn't hinder his interests, he could be a kindhearted and refined man, but once it conflicted with his interests, he was more ruthless than Xue Yan, not even willing to spare his own family. He didn't even acknowledge his clearly troubled and dazed son, he just quickly drove home and called Xue Li Dani into his study to discuss. Xue Li Dani was naturally very reluctant to give up the opportunity to save her daughter's life, leading to a big quarrel. However, she was forced by the pressures of reality, and had no choice but to compromise. Xue Yan already knew their plans, if they really went ahead and touched Huang Yi, he would certainly dig out all their hearts.

The man had more than a dozen brothers all together, except for the 9th oldest who'd never mistreated him, all the others were either dead, incapacitated, or missing, yet no one could find out the causes behind these misfortunes. But the whole clan unofficially knew that this was Xue Yan's handwriting, the man was relentless.

Xue Li Dani left the study to ask her son for help persuading Xue Rui, but didn't expect to find him sitting dazedly on his bed. As soon as she finished weeping out her grievances, he slowly opened, "Mom, you want to save Jing Yi? Okay, I can give you my heart, please spare Xiao Yi." He got up and walked into the kitchen, searching for a paring knife to stab into his chest, if Xue Li Dani hadn't stopped him in time, he really would've pierced his heart.

Xue Li Dani was terrified, she didn't dare mention anything about the heart transplant to him again. She gently coaxed him back to his room to sleep, but Xue Zi Xuan couldn't fall asleep, he just stared at the ceiling all night, his eyes bloodshot the next day.

Xue Jing Yi noticed her family's abnormal attitudes the next morning. Her mother fawned over her with extra diligence, her father was very perfunctory, and her brother bluntly refused to look at her, leaving as soon as he heard her walking downstairs. She felt very aggrieved, her recently well-behaved heart once again squeezing in pain. Fortunately, her attention was diverted when Xue Li Dani called her over to take her to her physical exam.
