Chapter 23 Threat: Watch out or I'll scatter your mother's ashes!

Xia Yuhuan was stunned as she watched Xia Zhuyu burst into tears in one second and then sob uncontrollably in the next.

No, aren't these tears coming a little too quickly?

Given that Xia Zhuyu grew up pampered by Xia Jianyong and Li Rouyue and had everything she wanted, she shouldn't need to act out her tears so easily.

However, she then realized that Xia Zhuyu's delicate and innocent appearance was very popular among men.

In the original book, Xia Zhuyu also captured the hearts of many men with her innocent and naive appearance, making them her devoted followers and her tools.

And isn't that why Chi Jung-ho was moved to tears by her crying?

He hurriedly handed her a tissue to wipe her tears, comforting her, "Xia, don't cry. Let's talk this out. Crying won't solve anything."

Xia Zhuyu sobbed and wiped away her tears, saying, "Thank you, Brother Hao. I just felt that my sister didn't like me and always ostracized me at home. I felt really wronged and couldn't hold back for a moment."

Her tears fell in a steady stream, and she sobbed uncontrollably, looking incredibly pitiful.

But her speech was clear and articulate, and you couldn't tell she was crying at all.

Chi Zhenghao said, "Although what she said just now was a bit inappropriate, she didn't ostracize you. Aren't you being too sensitive?"

Xia Yuhuan almost burst out laughing when she heard this.

Wait, is Chi Zhenghao an enemy or an ally? Why is he speaking with such a sarcastic tone?

Seeing Xia Zhuyu freeze, looking completely bewildered and incredulous, Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

That laughter was undeniably mocking.

Hearing her laughter, Xia Jianyong turned around and glared at her angrily, "Your sister was bullied to tears by you, and you still have the nerve to laugh? You shouldn't have come back; you only come back to cause trouble!"

Xia Yuhuan finally managed to stop laughing and pouted, "Didn't you hear what my cousin said? I didn't ostracize your precious pig. She cried for no reason, okay?"

Chi Zhenghao realized that his words had caused trouble, and his already cold expression turned even colder.

Li Rouyue quickly pulled Xia Zhuyu to her side and coaxed her gently.

We can't let her continue to embarrass herself like this.

If this continues to be so embarrassing, the marriage may fall through.

Xia Zhuyu realized that her tearful attack and sob story were useless against Chi Zhenghao, so she quickly stopped crying and tried to please him in other ways.

Xia Yuhuan observed how they interacted and finally began to understand their dynamics.

It was at this moment that Xia Jianyong spoke up: "Nephew, I think you and my Zhuzhu get along quite well. Have you two considered taking things further? What do you think about your marriage? When would be a good time to start planning it?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan immediately understood that this was the solution that the family of three had come up with.

They arranged for Xia Zhuyu to get married so that she could avoid being sent to the countryside.

After all, there is indeed such a policy in place.

Upon hearing Xia Jianyong's words, Chi Zhenghao immediately put down his chopsticks, looked at him, and spoke with a serious expression.

"Uncle Xia, I do have some feelings for Xia, but marriage is a major life event that parents should decide. I need to go back and discuss this with my family."

Xia Jianyong nodded in agreement: "That's right, my dear nephew is right. Marriage is indeed a major event that should be discussed with the elders in the family."

"Then see when your parents are free, and arrange a time for both sets of parents to meet so they can discuss your marriage."

Chi Zhenghao glanced at Xia Zhuyu and replied with an "okay".

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhuyu was immediately delighted, and her gaze toward Xia Yuhuan was full of provocation.

Hmph, once she marries Chi Zhenghao, she'll make Xia Yuhuan pay.

That bitch! She made her lose face in front of Chi Zhenghao so much today, she won't let her get away with it!

Xia Yuhuan scoffed, "Hey Lao Xia, is your precious pig too eager to get married, or do you just not like her? This is such an important matter as marriage, you don't even talk to her parents, you go straight to the person in question. Is that the proper procedure? Tsk tsk..."

That tsk-tsk sound was full of mockery, causing Xia Jianyong's blood pressure to spike immediately.

"Xia Yuhuan, shut up and go eat your food. Stop nagging," Xia Jianyong snapped.

He can't bear to hear this wretched girl utter a single word.

She started off by being sarcastic and confrontational, and he was worried that she would drive him away.

Xia Yuhuan pouted, looked at Chi Zhenghao, raised her eyebrows and said, "My dear cousin, don't say I didn't warn you, your good pig is up to no good by dating you at this time."

Upon hearing this, Chi Zhenghao frowned slightly and looked at Xia Yuhuan: "What do you mean by that?"

"Oh? You didn't know?" Xia Yuhuan looked surprised.

The other three, seeing this, knew things were going badly.

Xia Zhuyu, who was the least composed, stood up and shouted, "Xia Yuhuan, shut up! Don't talk nonsense and slander me in front of Brother Hao!"

As she spoke, she looked pitifully at Chi Zhenghao: "Brother Hao, don't listen to my sister's nonsense. She just can't stand that I married someone better than him, so she deliberately talks badly about me and tries to trip me up."

"Brother Hao, let's ignore her. I'll take you away now so you don't have to listen to her nonsense and get your ears dirty."

As Xia Zhuyu spoke, she disregarded everything else and hurriedly went forward to pull Chi Zhenghao.

Xia Jianyong, who was standing nearby, quickly got up and pulled Xia Yuhuan along.

"Xia Yuhuan, shut up! If you dare to ruin my plans and mess this up, I'll scatter your mother's ashes to the wind, you believe me!"

Xia Jianyong's threatening voice was very low, and Xia Zhuyu was talking and pulling at Chi Zhenghao, so Chi Zhenghao didn't hear what he said at all.

Xia Yuhuan shuddered upon hearing this, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Her pupils contracted, and her gaze toward Xia Jianyong carried a hint of disbelief.

Xia Yuhuan never expected Xia Jianyong to be so disgusting, using her own mother's ashes to threaten her.

No wonder he's a scumbag who can abandon his own daughter, plot to kill his wife, and steal her inheritance to support his mistress.

She had never seen anyone more disgusting than Xia Jianyong!

The pain and soreness in her heart felt like it was about to explode, and Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but raise her hand to her chest.

So, was it Xia Jianyong's words that went too far and triggered the original owner's emotional outburst? Otherwise, why would she feel like her heart was breaking?

Seeing Xia Yuhuan frozen in disbelief, Xia Jianyong breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly reached out to cover Xia Yuhuan's mouth, trying to drag her away.

We can't let her say anything more outrageous. If she keeps talking nonsense, this marriage might really be in trouble.

Xia Yuhuan reacted at the most crucial moment and prevented Xia Jianyong from covering her mouth.

She quickly stepped back, her pretty face, which had previously been nonchalant and casual, now filled with icy coldness.

With reddened eyes, Xia Yuhuan stared intently at Xia Jianyong and sneered, "Xia Jianyong, you're really something, threatening me with scattering my mother's ashes to prevent me from telling the truth."

When Xia Jianyong saw her shouting so loudly that Chi Zhenghao could hear her, acting as if she didn't care about anything, his mind started buzzing.
