"That's absolutely impossible?"
Before Wu Tian could finish speaking, Xia Jian reflexively refuted him, his words filled with disbelief.
The Sun family, that towering tree with deep roots and lush foliage, is not something that can be easily shaken.
Let alone Wu Tian alone, even ten Wu Tians would definitely not be able to do it.
Li Fengjiao then chimed in with a sarcastic tone, "I don't think you've ever been to the Sun family. I advise you to take them and run away before they arrive, as far away as possible, and don't involve the Xia family."
In her view, Wu Tian's words were baseless and completely unbelievable.
Don't say Wu Tian is incapable of destroying the Sun family; if he were to actually go to the Sun family, he's guaranteed not to return alive.
The reason Wu Tian is still safe and sound is simply because the Sun family hasn't had time to look for him yet.
Wu Tian ignored Li Fengjiao's questions, took a step forward, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up like an eagle snatching a chick.
He stared coldly at Li Fengjiao, his voice as icy as a knife, "Whether I went to the Sun family or not is not important, there will naturally be people to testify, but your death is imminent."
These words sent a chill through the air, making everyone shudder and the surrounding air seem to freeze.
Li Fengjiao, held captive in Xia Zhonghai's palm, was as pale as a sheet. In her fear, she could only hoarsely plead for help, "Xia...Xia Zhonghai, save...save me."
Recovering from his shock, Xia Zhonghai shuddered and hurriedly cried out, "Wu... Wu Tian, let her go! What kind of man fights a woman?"
Wu Tian stared at Li Fengjiao with a cold face, like a merciless judge proclaiming: "She betrayed her master and ancestors, was unreasonable and domineering, and even tried to expel her mother-in-law from the family in order to seize power in the Xia family. Such evil deeds are intolerable to heaven and earth, and she deserves to die!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhonghai was in a state of panic and hurriedly said, "Even if... even if she is wrong, it's... it's none of your business."
He knew Wu Tian's capabilities well; if he insisted on taking Li Fengjiao's life, no one here could stop him. He could only rely on the authority of the law to save Li Fengjiao's life.
Wu Tian's voice was as cold as ice, "Xia Xue is my wife, and her grandmother is my grandmother. How is it my place to care if my grandmother is bullied? Speaking of this matter, you deserve to die more than her!"
As he spoke, he reached out with his other hand and grabbed Xia Zhonghai in the same way.
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Xia hurriedly said, "Xiao Tian, don't... don't kill them."
Wu Tian turned around, looked at the old lady with a deep gaze, and said with a puzzled expression, "Grandma, they were so heartless to you, yet you still pleaded for them?"
The old woman sighed repeatedly, each word heavy with sorrow: "There are only children who don't love their mothers, never mothers who don't love their children. No matter how heartless he is to me, he is still flesh of my flesh. How can I bear to part with him?"
After hearing this, Wu Tian threw the two of them aside and said through gritted teeth, "Xia Zhonghai, listen to this, think about it yourself, how much humanity do you have left? Your own mother, yet you want to drive her out of the house. What's the difference between this behavior and that of an animal? Despite what you've done to her, she still cares about you."
Xia Zhonghai huddled on the ground, not daring to raise his head. Although he felt a slight pang of guilt, he had no remorse.
Although this behavior is indeed shameful, he had no choice but to do it in order to protect the Xia family from being implicated and to ensure the Xia family's future glory.
Seeing Xia Zhonghai and Li Fengjiao huddled on the ground like stray dogs, Xia Xue took a deep breath and said firmly, "Grandma, we'd better not stay in such a heartless place. Although I am not very capable, I can still take care of you and make sure you have enough to eat and wear."
She knew Xia Zhonghai and his wife's character well. Even if they were forced by Wu Tian to leave her grandmother behind, they would not only not be filial, but would also verbally abuse her or even physically assault her, plunging her grandmother into endless suffering.
Grandma was just saved from the brink of death by Wu Tian yesterday, and today she was kicked out of the house by this vicious couple. It is clear how wicked these two are.
Xia Xue was extremely anxious, unable to imagine how her grandmother would cope or bear it if a similar situation were to occur again.
If one day Grandma were to meet with misfortune, how could she find peace of mind?
Therefore, she resolutely decided to bring her grandmother with her.
Only in this way can she feel at ease.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Xia sighed deeply, her heart aching: "Xiaoxue, I see your filial piety and it pains me to see it, but it's too much of a burden for you."
Xia Xue gently shook her head, her gaze sharp as she looked directly at the timid Xia Zhonghai. She deliberately raised her voice, "I may not understand grand principles, but filial piety is the foundation of being human. If one is not even filial to one's own elders, what difference is there between one and an animal?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhonghai lowered his head even further. Xia Xue, a woman and a junior, actually possessed such insight and responsibility.
This made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.
But he had no other choice!
He vividly remembered the suppression he suffered at the hands of the Qin family in the past, and now he did not want to be suppressed by the Sun family again.
Moreover, the Sun family is much stronger than the Qin family. If the Sun family suppresses them, the Xia family will be powerless to resist.
Grandma Xia watched as Xia Zhonghai kept his head bowed, without uttering a single word.
She knew that Xia Zhonghai was determined to sever his mother-son relationship with her.
Her heart felt as if it had been completely pierced by the winter wind, leaving only desolation and bleakness.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes gleaming with sorrow, and whispered to Xia Xue, "Xia Xue, it's fortunate that you're here, otherwise this old man would be homeless and have a miserable old age."
Grandma Xia's words were filled with despair and sorrow, bringing tears to the eyes of all who heard them.
However, this still failed to touch Xia Zhonghai's resolute and cold heart.
Seeing this, Xia Xue felt a mix of emotions. She gently helped her grandmother up and softly comforted her, "Grandma, let's go. I'll stay with you from now on."
Just as the two turned to leave, a deep, steady voice suddenly rang out, "Wait!"
Xia Zhonghai suddenly looked up, leaped up, and rushed away with quick, light steps, calling out joyfully, "Miss Jin, you've finally arrived!"
The visitor was none other than Jin Lingyun.
She walked briskly and leisurely.
In fact, she had arrived long ago, but she had been staying in the car and hadn't shown herself.
At this moment, Li Fengjiao was impatient and pointed directly at Wu Tian, crying to Jin Lingyun, "Miss Jin, you must do us justice!"
Immediately, tears streamed down her face as if she had suffered countless injustices. Pointing at Wu Tian, she sobbed, "This guy is incredibly arrogant. He... he bullies the whole family because he's good with his fists, and... and he angered the Sun family."
Her words were filled with endless grievances and pleading, as if Jin Lingyun was her only salvation.
Jin Lingyun narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing the couple. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she leisurely asked, "So, how do you want me to handle this?"
Without hesitation, Li Fengjiao gritted her teeth and said, "Kill him!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Lingyun was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed loudly and then turned to Wu Tian, saying jokingly, "Junior brother, listen to this. This is the reward for your mercy."
