Although Xia Zhiyi didn't say it very clearly, Fu Chi knew what she was talking about in her sudden remark.
Outsiders may only have a vague understanding of the relationship between Xia Zhiyi and the Song family, but Fu Chi, due to his connections, could easily find out about it.
In particular, after the Song family came to Xia Zhiyi, they were investigated when they returned home. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the Song family naturally suspected Xia Zhiyi first.
Their suspicions were not wrong; Xia Zhiyi did indeed call the police, causing the Song family a great deal of trouble.
As for the Song family now being on the verge of bankruptcy and in complete chaos, it is partly due to Xia Zhiyi, but also partly due to the Song family's own reasons.
But if we really look into it, it did start with Xia Zhiyi's incident.
However, the Song family was unaware of these matters at the time. Coincidentally, Xia Zhiyi on a variety show and suddenly began to stand out in front of others. Naturally, the Song family were very unhappy to see how glamorous Xia Zhiyi was on the show and Xia Zhiyi caused her some trouble.
However, Xia Zhiyi sensed this trouble.
Then Xia Zhiyi turned around and exposed the secret that the Song family had wanted to keep hidden for a lifetime.
Even though it wasn't his doing on the surface, his presence was felt everywhere.
However, very few people knew about this; perhaps only Xu Chen, besides Li Jing, had any suspicions.
Even if a few people know that Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhiyi are related to the Song family by blood, they would not associate the Song family's current miserable situation with them. The reason is quite simple: for so many years, the Xia family siblings have had no connection with the Song family whatsoever.
After some of the criminal records of the Song family members were exposed, the Xia family siblings and the Song family became blatant enemies.
Before this, the Xia family siblings were just ordinary people, and both were even students. Under normal circumstances, they had neither the means nor the ability to obtain the Song family's secret information or find someone to expose it.
Many people still believe that this incident was caused by someone who was at odds with the Song family, who took advantage of the chaos within the Song family Song family to deliver a fatal blow.
And this person is someone that everyone is eyeing among the groups that are currently dividing up the interests of the Song Group.
What does this have to do with Xia Zhiyi?
Maybe. After all, if the Song family hadn't fallen, Xia Zhiyi, the grandson of Old Master Song, might have been able to get a share of the Song family fortune.
Even if it's not a lot, given the size of the Song family, it's still a fortune that Ordinary Person might have to work their whole life to earn.
But now that the Song family is finished, Xia Zhiyi has nothing. Instead, she should be thankful that their blood relationship is currently only rumored and has not been confirmed. She has never had any contact with the Song family in the past eighteen years, otherwise she would have been implicated and investigated as well.
This matter shouldn't have had anything to do with Fu Chi.
At most, the Song family will fall, Fu Chi, from a businessman's perspective, will get involved and get a share of the profits.
Hangu Group didn't just stand by and watch the show, but it also didn't act like those others and rush in. Instead, it seized the opportunity to take over a portion of the market that had been temporarily vacated due to the Song family's situation.
But Xia Zhiyi suddenly said this because he discovered that Fu Chi, whether because of him or for other reasons, had arranged for someone to increase the punishment for the Song family.
Fu Chi: "I thought this would make you happy."
Xia Zhiyi smiled, a smile devoid of emotion, even tinged with coldness, but it wasn't directed at Fu Chi.
He said, "I'm already happy that you're willing to help me, but the Song family... the Song family has many enemies, and even if you don't help, there are plenty of people who don't want them to have a good time."
"On the contrary, if possible, I think it would be a bit of a waste for you to take action against the Song family."
In other words, he felt that Fu Chi had used dirty tricks in dealing with the Song family.
No need.
Moreover, Fu Chi's move this time was actually very covert. If Xia Zhiyi hadn't been so good at gathering information and paid close attention to Fu Chi's affairs, she probably wouldn't have noticed it either.
But no matter how well hidden, there will always be traces.
Fu Chi didn't do anything bad, but he deliberately kept a low profile to avoid getting involved with the Song family because of him and Xia Zhiyi. This might actually cause some people with ulterior motives to have wild thoughts, and who knows what kind of rumors might be spread in the end.
That's why Xia Zhiyi said she didn't want Fu Chi to get his hands dirty.
The things that have been exposed about the Song family are really dirty.
The methods of business competition are dirty, and the ways in which things are handled behind the scenes are also dirty.
The lives of those men in the Song family were certainly decadent and extravagant, but... to engage in that kind of activity with several people simultaneously—aren't they some kind of brain-degenerated beast? That kind of thing is really disgusting.
In every respect.
Xia Zhiyi tugged at his index finger. "Don't worry about it, okay?"
Fu Chi: "... Okay."
Two weeks later, Xia Zhiyi received the final verdict for the Song family —the maximum sentence was life imprisonment, and the minimum was one year. Surprisingly, only one girl in junior high school had no criminal record. It could be said that the entire family was caught in one fell swoop.
When Xia Zhiyi saw the girl's information, she fell silent.
Xia Zhen Song family.
Xia Zhiyi already knew this, but he didn't think there was any need to go back to the Song family, which was outwardly glamorous but inwardly rotten. He'd rather have his sister there.
Now, seeing the little girl who was exactly the same age as Xia Zhen, and noticing her delicate face that didn't quite resemble the Song family, he suddenly realized—oh, so Xia Zhen was holding the script of the real and fake heiress.
However, the real and fake heiress were not switched at birth. Rather, after Xia Zhen went missing as a child, the Song family searched for a while but couldn't find her. In a fit of madness, they stopped searching and simply adopted a little girl of the same age from an orphanage to pass off as their original child.
Xia Zhiyi: I don't really understand you Song family.
However, considering that his mother left the Song family decades ago and that the family really didn't contact her at all, it doesn't seem so hard to understand.
Then, upon closer inspection, the little girl was wearing a marriage contract, which made her position and significance clear— the Song family needed a girl to fulfill the marriage contract, but since the original little girl had gone missing and they couldn't find her, they simply adopted one. Anyway, she was still young, and once she grew up, she would still be a member of the Song family.
How ridiculous!
How cold-hearted!
How disgusting!
Xia Zhen... The original Song Zhen, in the end, became so hysterical. No one would believe it wasn't influenced by the messy Song family.
Fortunately, in this life, Xia Zhen will always be Xia Zhen.
She will grow up brightly, happily, and healthily. She will not be used as a pawn, will not be hysterical, and will not be... controlled by the plot to become a despicable villain.
