No wonder He Ning had such a strange expression on his face at that time and even said those words when he spoke about the mastermind. As the saying went, it was really the hardest to guard against a thief from within the family.
But why would Zhou Hua do such a thing? Why was she seeking revenge on
Qiao Mei? Also, how did Zhou Hua have the ability to do something like this?
Ever since Zhou Hua divorced Xia Guang, she had been in a state of depression, but she was still able to carry on with her life. However, when she found out that Xia Xings marriage was annulled and that people in the capital were saying that Xia Xing was impotent, she went berserk and blamed Qiao Mei for everything. For a period of time, she even wanted to hang herself.
After that, when she found out that Xia Lu and Xia Yan had been caught by Xia Mao and sent to prison, she went even more crazy. Her parents were really worried about her safety and were afraid that she would die at home, so they sent her to Xia Guang.
Although the couple was already divorced, they were still once husband and wife and had previously committed their devotion to each other. Therefore,
Xia Guang took on the task of taking care of Zhou Hua. Under his care, Zhou
Hua seemed to have gotten better, so no one expected such a thing to happen.
Xia Jun had already asked someone to bring the couple in. However, there was a difference in the way they were brought back. Xia Guang was invited in, while Zhou Hua was tied up and carried in. Their treatment was completely different.
“Father! Why are you doing this to Zhou Hua! What’s happening! Can’t we talk things out nicely?” Xia Guang asked anxiously.
Qiao Mei watched in shock as Xia Jun’s subordinates carried Zhou Hua into the house. Even pigs going to the slaughterhouse were not tied up like this. Zhou Hua was trussed up with thick cotton cloth strips, so that her skin was not harmed at all. It would not be good if Zhou Hua accused the Xia family of hurting her. Xia Jun had learned all these little tricks from Xia Xiu.
“Let go of me! What right do you have to capture me for no reason! Can the Xia family do whatever you want in the capital! Is there no law in this country!” Zhou Hua knelt on the ground and struggled as she shouted.
Xia Jun said coldly, “You’d better explain yourself clearly after what you did. You better know why we captured you today.”
“l… What am I supposed to know! I don’t know! It’s your Xia family who owes me a debt! How are you going to repay me! My two sons have already been sent to jail by you! What else do you want! Are you going to send me to jail as well!” Zhou Hua knelt on the ground and roared, her eyes bloodshot.
It was not that appropriate for outsiders to hear what they were going to talk about next. Xia Jun waved his hand and asked all his subordinates to leave. This matter was a disgrace to the Xia family and it would be really embarrassing for others to hear it.
“Father, let go of her! It’s not easy for the two of us to get to where we are now. My three sons have either gone to jail or become ordinary people. Are you still going to separate the two of us?” Xia Guang said as he squatted beside
Zhou Hua.
Xia Jun stared at Xia Guang in disdain. How could his son be such a good-for-nothing? Xia Guang could not even tell that his partner was evil and villainous. In the past, he had really doted on Xia Guang too much. Otherwise, such a good son would not have turned out like this.
“Isn’t it good to be an ordinary person? Do you want Xia Xing to be a criminal like his two younger brothers? Do you know what kind of marriage partner your wife found for Xia Xing! Do you know how much Qiao Mei has helped you! How much mess she cleaned up for your family! How dare you come here and question me! Question the Xia family! Question Qiao Mei!” Xia Jun pointed at Xia Guang and scolded him.
Xu Lan really could not take it anymore. She pointed at Xia Guang and reprimanded him, “Third Brother, let’s not talk about how much your eldest brother has helped you in secret for so many years. Let’s just talk about how your son’s fiancée wants to drug my Xia Wen and sleep with him! This matter was prevented from happening only because of our Qiao Mei and she did not tell anyone about it. Don’t we think that we have given your family enough respect?”
“Is… is this true? I don’t even know about it! How can this be… This is completely different from what I was told!” Xia Guang said as he looked at Xu Lan in shock.
“You don’t know? There are still many things you don’t know! That pair of sons of yours wanted to kill my grandson and granddaughter! Yet, Qiao Mei didn’t seek to take their lives and she’s kind enough to just send them to jail to reflect on their actions for a few years. What more do you want from Qiao Mei! How much more do you want our family to do! What exactly does the eldest son’s family owe you!” Xu Lan said as she cried..
