Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xi’s face was filled with helplessness. “Moreover, I wasn’t fooling around! It’s clearly Old Madam Xia who wants to throw me to the suburbs first. Why can’t I throw her to the suburbs now? She made a mistake but I’m supposed to let it slide just because she casually apologized? I know you can’t bear to see Old Madam Xia suffer, so I won’t make things difficult for you. Old Madam Xia, just stay in the Xia family. We’ll leave now and never visit again!
“Ah Zheng, tell the butler that no one from the Xia family is to visit Longwan Residential in the future. I don’t want to have any more contact with the Xia family!”
Gu Zheng replied, “Alright, Longwan Residential is your home. You can refuse to meet whoever. I promise I won’t let you see the Xia family again.
“Old Master Xia, since Xi Xi has said so, I won’t hold Old Madam Xia responsible anymore. As for how you deal with her, it has nothing to do with us.”
Xia Cheng’s heart constricted.
No, no!
Qiao Xi was the antidote for the entire family. The antidote in her body had already taken effect. The people from the Medical a.s.sociation said that only those who were related to the Xia family by blood could take the antidote and detoxify the poison in the Xia family. She was the hope of the entire Xia family. She could not leave just like that.
If Qiao Xi cut off all contact with the Xia family and never met the Xia family again, how could they obtain Qiao Xi’s blood? No matter what, they had to keep Qiao Xi. They could not miss a good opportunity because of a small matter.
Xia Cheng was silent for a moment. His face was livid as he said helplessly, “Then send Sumei to the suburbs for a while. Let her calm down and wait for Xi Xi to forget about this matter before bringing her back.”
Old Madam Xia’s expression instantly stiffened as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Xia Cheng in disbelief. She and Xia Cheng had been husband and wife for so many years. Now, for Qiao Xi’s sake, he wanted to send her to the suburbs to live?
At the thought of this, Old Madam Xia felt her chest tighten. Her vision darkened as she fell to the floor.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. She couldn’t take it anymore? But this was just the beginning. The Xia family would absolutely not have a good time in the future!
Seeing that Ai Sumei had fainted, Xia Cheng’s face turned livid. He suppressed his anger and said, “Xi Xi, Sumei has already been punished. You can stay in the Xia family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xi leaned weakly in Gu Zheng’s arms and said with an aggrieved expression, “But I’m still a little afraid. Ah Zheng, bring me home first.”
At this point, Qiao Xi hurriedly covered her mouth. “Oh! I can’t act cute with Ah Zheng! Otherwise, Miss Xia will say that I’m pretending to be weak. I’m clearly suffering here, but I can’t complain to my husband. I might never be as strong as Miss Xia. It’s all my fault for being a weak and timid girl!”
Xia Mengyan’s face alternated between red and white. She knew that Qiao Xi was secretly mocking her, but she was unable to retort. She did not want to provoke Qiao Xi at this critical moment, lest she got implicated as well.
She lowered her head and gritted her teeth. Her voice was dry. “Xi Xi, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.”
Qiao Xi nodded, and her tone was gentle yet carried a trace of ridicule. “I forgive you, Miss Xia, but I can’t say the same if there’s a next time! Although I have a good temper and don’t want to bicker with you, my husband has a very bad temper. He’s very scary!”
Hearing Qiao Xi mention Gu Zheng, Xia Mengyan was angered to the point her entire body trembled. Why was she Gu Zheng’s wife? She could rightfully enjoy Gu Zheng’s protection, but Qiao Xi, this b*tch, was simply pretending. Gu Zheng was utterly unable to discern that he had been deceived by Qiao Xi’s weak appearance.
Xia Mengyan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Her nails pierced through her skin and dug into her palms.
“Old Master Xia, as Miss Xia’s grandfather, you should discipline her more in the future. I won’t bicker with her, but if she offends others in the future, they won’t be as easy to talk to as I am.” Qiao Xi looked at Xia Cheng and advised him with a smile.
Xia Cheng hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth. “Mengyan, it’s inevitable that your grandmother will be lonely if she goes to the suburbs alone. Go stay with her for a while.”
Xia Mengyan was infuriated. She glared fiercely at Qiao Xi and took a deep breath. “Alright.”
Qiao Xi smiled proudly. “Goodbye!”
Suddenly, a police siren sounded outside the window. Everyone in the Xia family trembled. Qiao Xi chuckled and said, “Everyone, don’t be afraid. They’re not here to capture you. They’re here to take Butler Liu away. After all, he maliciously damaged my mother’s belongings. I have to hold him responsible. Old Master Xia, you won’t mind, right?”
