Just as this was happening, a black sedan drove up from a distance and slowly stopped behind the MPV.
Zhang Cheng got out of the car with a smile on his face, but he was taken aback when he saw the tense scene unfolding before him.
“What’s going on here?” Zhang Cheng asked earnestly.
He had expected to see a happy family reunion, but the situation before him seemed… quite different from what he had imagined.
Chen MO quickly pulled Zhang Cheng aside. “Brother Cheng, why did you bring Xia Wan’s uncle and aunt here as well?”
“They insisted on coming!” Zhang Cheng said, somewhat surprised. “Originally, as Jiang Lu instructed, we only found Xia Wan’s parents. Later, her parents mentioned that their brother and sister-in-law were also captured by Jiang Lu, so I had someone pry information from him and found the whereabouts of this couple. ”
“That kid really did a number, arranging Xia Wan’s parents to stay in a small house near the forest, well-fed and cared for.”
“But that couple was locked in an abandoned factory, with rats and cockroaches running everywhere, it was really…”
Although Chen MO somewhat understood the source of Xia Jiang and his wife’s irate behavior from Zhang Cheng’s words, it seemed like now was not the time for sympathy.
“At that time, the couple said they had nowhere to go because of their daughter and son-in-law, and Xia Wan’s parents, out of kindness, let them get in the car,” Zhang Cheng continued, observing the situation in front of him.
“I didn’t expect them to be calm in the car, but once they got home, they started fighting!”
While Zhang Cheng and Chen MO were talking, Song Yan had already screamed and charged forward, determined to fight Xia Wan’s family to the death. Yan Han didn’t want his children to get hurt and stepped forward to stop Song
Yan.
Xia Jiang, caught by Xia Hai, felt his dignity threatened and slapped Xia Hai in retaliation.
This slap completely angered Xia Hails three children.
Xia Chen pushed Xia Jiang to the ground.
Xia Feng also stepped forward and grabbed Song Yan’s clawing hands.
Even though Xia Jiang and his wife were at a disadvantage, they never stopped their verbal abuse.
They cursed loudly, accusing Xia Hai’s family of being ungrateful.
Xia Wan approached them with a cold look in her eyes, and with a swift motion, they both collapsed to the ground, silent.
Xia Hai was initially startled, but after seeing Xia Wan’s unchanged expression and checking the couple’s breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Cheng was taken aback and was about to check on them but was stopped by Chen MO, “Brother Cheng, don’t worry, these two are fine.”
Seeing Chen Mo’s nonchalant demeanor, Zhang Cheng felt uneasy.
Xia Wan then approached Zhang Cheng, “Brother Cheng, thank you for rescuing my parents. ”
Zhang Cheng awkwardly retracted his surprised expression, forced a smile, and said, “No need to thank me! We had an agreement, naturally, I had to fulfill it. ”
“Regardless, it’s thanks to your help that they returned safely.”
“However, we have guests at home today, so it’s inconvenient to entertain you. In a couple of days, Chen MO and I will invite you to a meal, please do us the honor!”
Zhang Cheng, understanding the hint, replied, “Your parents just came back, they should rest well!”
“I won’t disturb you further! I’ll take my leave!” Saying so, Zhang Cheng signaled his people and left.
Chen MO looked at Xia Jiang and his wife, then asked Xia Wan in a low voice,
“Do they need me to take care of them?”
Xia Wan shook her head, “Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
With Xia Wan’s assurance, Chen MO left without further comment.
After moving Xia Jiang and his wife inside, the family’s initial excitement dissipated.
“Wanwan, they are still your uncle and aunt, you shouldn’t…” Xia Hai tried to advise Xia Wan, but he knew Xia Jiang and his wife had gone too far this time and struggled to find the right words.
Xia Wan smiled reassuringly at Xia Hai, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry, although they don’t cherish family ties, I’m not a heartless person.” “I’ll arrange for someone to take good care of them.”
“As for Xia Ru, I have other plans.”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Xia Hai and Yan Han exchanged glances, choosing not to say more.
After a difficult reunion, although Xia Hai and Yan Han hadn’t suffered much these days, being away from home had inevitably tired them..
