“Xia Chun, you really have some cheek to come back here begging. You, the educated young lady of the Xia family, have become the mistress of the Gu family. Where should we, the Xia family, place our dignity?” Xia Fen angrily questioned.
It had not been long since the incident occurred, and many people were already asking about Xia Chun. Xia Fen was truly disturbed by it all.
Xia Nan, looking at his disgraced daughter, was filled with regret and self-blame. He pounded his chest and lamented, “Blame me, it’s all my fault as a father for spoiling you so much. I’ve raised such a shameless daughter. I regret it! ”
Beside him, Bai Yu sobbed uncontrollably. Her once smart and adorable daughter had fallen from grace to such depths, forsaking her family’s reputation to become someone’s mistress.
“For the past three years, people in Beijing have been talking about how the Gu family’s mistress has forced the legitimate wife into a convent. I could never have imagined that the shameless woman was raised by me, Bai Yu!” Bai Yu shook her head in remorse.
Xia Chun knew she was in the wrong, and she could bear the insults, but Jiang Xue was her daughter, and she could not give up on her.
Kneeling in front of her parents, Xia Chun clung to their clothes and pleaded, “As long as you help me save Xue, I’m willing to die for my sins! Mom, Dad, please, she’s all I have left. Please help me!”
Xia Nan could not stand it any longer and slapped Xia Chun, saying, ‘You audacious brat! Are you actually threatening two old folks like us, with one foot in the grave, with your life?”
Xia Chun’s ears were ringing from the slap.
Xia Fen furiously chimed in, “Do you think you can save her just by asking? The four great families of Beijing, Shen, Lu, Guan, and Gu are all applying pressure. Jiang Xue must pay the price. Do you think our Xia family can save her? You guys just had to offend Shen Xi, of all people. Do you have any brains left?”
Xia Fen was utterly impressed by her sister, and even that troublemaker Jiang
Xue.
With tears in her eyes, Xia Chun said, “I didn’t mean to. It’s Shen Xi who has always had it out for our Xue. Xue is innocent.”
Xia Fen burst into laughter at her sister’s words. “Innocent? With all the evidence against her? If only she had behaved herself after her plastic surgery, if only she hadn’t been so arrogant, bullying those assistants. Had she not instigated her fans to attack Shen Xi and Lu Lin, none of these things would have happened. Shen Xi wouldn’t have dug up her past, and you wouldn’t have been manipulated! ”
Xia Fen clearly understood the whole situation.
Jiang Xue had been safe for three years because of the Gu family’s protection. As long as she did not provoke Shen Xi, none of this would have happened.
Shen Xi was no ordinary person. She was the darling of the Shen and Lu families and the sweetheart of Young Master Guan. Even the young master of the Gu family held her in high esteem.
With such a background, even if Jiang Xue had become Gu An’s daughter, she still would not be a match for Shen Xi.
But Jiang Xue had to provoke her. Was she not asking for trouble?
Xia Chun did not want to hear these criticisms. All she wanted now was for someone to help her save her daughter.
Right or wrong was of no importance to her. Her daughter’s safety was all that mattered.
Turning to Xia Fen, Xia Chun knelt in front of her, holding onto her younger sister’s leg. She begged, “Sister, can you help me? Please use your connections and ensure Xue’s safe release. If you can save Xue, I’ll be your slave for life.”
Xia Fen firmly pulled her leg away and coldly said, “l can’t do it.”
Xia Chun shifted her gaze to her parents, only to find Xia Nan and Bai Yu turning away, unwilling to deal with her.
With a “huff,” Xia Chun stood up and hurled bitter words at her unhelpful family. “What kind of family is this? When I’m in trouble, you’re just like you were four years ago, refusing to help. Fine! If that’s how it is, I don’t need your hypocrisy! ‘
With those words, Xia Chun left her utterly useless family.
The solitary figure disappeared into the night.
Shen Xi had just returned home, and Lu Shan and Shen Yan approached her anxiously to ask about the situation. They had already seen the live broadcast footage.
“Mom, Dad, don’t worry. I’m fine. This time, Jiang Xue won’t escape legal consequences,” Shen Xi assured them.
However, her gaze lingered on her parents, fearing they might be heartbroken. After all, they had raised her for eighteen years..
