“She’s married? Then how can she cheat my brother of his feelings! She clearly said that she wanted to marry my brother! She said she wanted to be with him forever! How can she lie to us!” Cao Kuan roared.
When did this happen? Could this person be one ofXia He’s crazy fans? Qiao Mei would never believe that Xia He cheated on her husband. Xia He was not that kind of person.
The neighbors all stuck their heads out of their houses. Even passers-by stopped a distance away, waiting to see what was going on at Qiao Mei’s house.
“Did you get it wrong? Are you sure it’s our family?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Is there a Xia He from another Xia family? That big star from the art troupe! Isn’t she from your family? It can’t be wrong! I’ve already asked around! It’s definitely your family! Don’t even think about denying it!” Cao Kuan said firmly.
Xia Wen patted Qiao Mei’s shoulder as he came up from behind her. He said to Cao Kuan in a gentle tone, “Is your younger brother also in the bus that was caught in the avalanche on the highlands?”
“Yes! How do you know? My brother’s name is Cao Zhai! Ask Xia He to come out! We should clarify it face to face!” Cao Kuan said.
Qiao Mei pursed her lips in disdain. These two brothers had weird names. Kuan meant wide and Zhai meant narrow. Cao Kuan’s figure was quite round, which suited his name. She wondered what this Cao Zhai looked like and if he looked like how he was named.
Xia Wen remembered seeing Cao Zhai’s name on the rescue list, but everything happened too quickly at that time and he did not notice anything else. He was only focused on saving Xia He and could not remember what that person looked like.
Ever since Xia He became famous, Cao Zhai gave up his comfortable life in Hu City, took all his money and came to the capital alone. He did not miss any of her performances and even spent a lot of money to give her many gifts. In order to woo her, he even specially bought a big house in the neighborhood opposite the art troupe’s studio.
He was originally worried that if Xia He was not from a good family, his parents would object to them getting married. He definitely did not expect Xia He to have come from a prominent family and to be such a good match for the Cao family. When he found out, he was so excited that he almost asked the Cao family to get the wedding venue ready for him.
When he heard that Xia He was going to the highlands for a community performance, he signed up to be a volunteer. None of them would have expected to encounter an avalanche on the way there and that everyone would be trapped in the bus. Cao Zhai felt that this was their divine fate. Although they were not born on the same day, they could die on the exact same day!
At some point in time, Cao Zhai was about to lose consciousness. Xia He, who was next to him, called out his name and found a thick layer of clothes to cover him while encouraging him to hang on. Whatever she said then was probably the cause of the misunderstanding.
“Come in first. My younger sister is still sleeping. We can talk after she wakes up,” Xia Wen said.
“Sure, I’ll go in and wait! I want to see if you’re lying!” After saying that, Cao Kuan walked in with his subordinates. He also wanted to see if the Xia family was as influential as other people’s exaggerated descriptions and if they were really a good match for his family.
“This house is not too bad. Is this where your entire Xia family lives?” Cao Kuan looked around and asked.
“This is my sister-in-law’s house. It has nothing to do with the Xia family,” Xia Wen said factually.
Cao Kuan’s eyes widened as he questioned, “Isn’t this the Xia family’s old residence? How did it become your sister-in-law’s house? Even if it’s your sister-in-law’s house, you can’t say that it has nothing to do with the Xia family.”
“The Cao family is so resourceful. Didn’t you investigate these things clearly?” Xia Wen questioned.
Cao Kuan stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Indeed, he had not investigated this matter properly. He only wanted to stand up for his younger brother and help him get married quickly. Everything he knew about the Xia family was from what Cao Zhai told him and he did not do a thorough investigation.
“Don’t just stand at the door. Let’s go in and talk,” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at the main hall.
The big group entered the main hall in a grand manner. Cao Kuan did not seem to see Xu Lan and swaggered towards the master seat next to her without even greeting her.
“Ask your younger sister to come out now. Let’s discuss this matter properly. We can’t just waste time like this. Our Cao family is very busy and has many things to deal with!” Cao Kuan said arrogantly..
