2813 You’re Unwelcome
Since Madam Li was already here, Xia Jinyuan naturally wouldn’t chase her out. But he didn’t want Madam Li to gossip about the Xia family again.
He wouldn’t argue with Madam Xiao either. There was no need for that. They could just talk things out. Moreover, there was Madam Li, who had always been concerned about the Xia family’s matters. He wouldn’t let her laugh at him.
Madam Li didn’t expect to be sent away. Her face turned cold.
She said with a faint smile, “Ah Yuan, I’m your mother’s good friend, after all. I’m also her only good friend in the capital city. I know everything about your mother. Do you still need to send me away?”
“It’s your business that you know everything about my mother, and it’s my business that I don’t want you to hear our conversation.” Xia Jinyuan smiled faintly. His calm facial expression had the innate n.o.bility of the Xia family. “Please take a seat and wait for us.”
“Shuman, this son of yours is really amazing. Go ahead. I’ll wait here. Call me if anything happens. If you have the time, teach him well. It’s not a good thing to be too arrogant.”
The meaning behind her words was extremely unpleasant. Call her if anything happened?
Did she think that the Xia family’s residence was a tiger’s den that would eat people?
Xia Jinyuan didn’t want to argue with her. He just glanced at her and left the main hall.
“Chenglan, take a seat first. I’ll talk to Ah Yuan for a while.” Madam Xiao didn’t answer her. After she finished speaking gently, she followed her son.
Although her son was not close to her, she would definitely still side with her son.
Behind her, Madam Li was so angry that she grabbed the small bag in her hand tightly. Her eyes were cold.
To think that she disregarded the weather and accompanied Xiao Shuman, but she was no match for a son who didn’t know her well and didn’t even acknowledge her!
At this moment, Madam Xiao only had eyes for her son. She didn’t care about her friend’s feelings anymore. She followed him from the main hall to the guest living room. She stopped Xia Jinyuan from pouring water for her and said softly, “Ah Yuan, sit down. I’m not thirsty.”
She wasn’t thirsty. However, since she was a guest, Xia Jinyuan had to serve her a drink. He poured a gla.s.s of lemon water that the old madam would drink every day and placed it on the coffee table. When he sat down, his tall and big body suddenly exuded a cold aura.
Looking at Madam Xiao, who had taken good care of herself and didn’t even have a strand of white hair on her head, Xia Jinyuan looked at her as if she was a stranger. Without any warmth, he said, “Madam Xiao, I reminded you a long time ago that you shouldn’t disturb the two elders.
“The old man has worked hard his entire life. Now that he can finally relax and do his own things, we don’t even dare to let the old man worry. Why are you doing it?”
“No, Ah Yuan, I don’t wish to disturb the two elders’ peace.” Madam Xiao smiled bitterly in the face of her son’s accusation. “Your father reminded me last time too. I know that I can’t disturb the two elders unless I have to.
Unless she had to? What reason did she have, then?
Xia Jinyuan laughed softly. He leaned against the sofa lazily and smiled. “You always need other people to fulfill your wish. It was like this in the past, and it’s still the same now. You always need our Xia family to fulfill you, but when will you fulfill the Xia family?
“You didn’t wish to disturb them, but you still did it.
“That’s true. After all, my grandparents are not related to you. With your personality, you won’t take it to heart. What’s important to you is your own comfort and contentment. You were like this in the past, and I didn’t expect you to still be like this even though you’re almost 56 or 57 years old.”
