Chapter 300: Born to be incompatible with her
Xia Qingzhang asked Xia Zhengming what to do. Xia Zhengming thought for a moment and said, "I'll go apologize to the Gu family, especially the little girl named Xiao Si. Let's try to keep things calm and avoid causing any big trouble."
Given his status, he went there in person to apologize, which showed his sincerity.
Xia Qingzhang sighed, "This is the only way."
Xia Zhengming sat there in silence for a while, then said, "What I'm worried about now is that Xia Yuan has made friends with someone and things are getting even more complicated."
Xia Qingzhang's brow furrowed into knots; he was afraid too! The Xia family had no connections with the police. How had Xia Yuan gotten the police to shut down their store? Whose connections had she leveraged?
"She will definitely come home today, let's ask her." Xia Zhengming said.
Their family was always cautious and low-key, and they had never imagined that Xia Yuan would do something so oppressive. They had been too indulgent with her before.
"After this incident, we must discipline her properly." Xia Zhengming said, "You and my mother have been too indulgent with her. Even Xia Ying and Xia Yi know that people like us try to be low-key, but she is always showing off, pretending to be the best in public, wanting everyone to say she is the best."
Xia Qingzhang regrets it now.
Xia Yuan was born during the height of the war. He was working underground, while his wife was in the army, doing logistics. After Xia Yuan was born, his wife was unable to raise her, so she had to leave her with a fellow villager.
Later, after the war was won, she was brought back. Life in the countryside was not very good. When Xia Yuan was brought back, she looked pale and thin, and she seemed very unfamiliar with her family.
Therefore, the whole family felt a little guilty about her. They gave her all the good things in the house and tried to follow her lead in everything. However, they didn't expect that they had raised her in a wrong way.
After discussing things, the father and son returned home. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Xia Yuan and Shao Yunhan crying. Shao Yunhan was still crying and complaining, "Why did she mention me in the newspaper? Why should I compare with her? Grandma, please ask the newspaper to withdraw this article and kick their family out of Kyoto. Wuuwuwu... My classmates are all laughing at me."
Old Mrs. Xia looked at the mother and daughter crying, not knowing what was going on, so she asked, "What's going on?"
"That sticky rice dumpling said in the newspaper that she was going to take the college entrance examination and wanted to compete with me to see who got the higher score. She did it on purpose. Wuuuuu..." Shao Yunhan said crying.
Old Lady Xia understood what was going on. She said, "Let her say what she wants to say. Just don't compete with her."
"That would be so embarrassing for me!" Shao Yunhan cried.
"Why does that little author named Sticky Rice Dumplings insist on competing with you?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
Shao Yunhan stopped talking. Even if she looked down on "Sticky Bean Bun" and even if she felt that her background was better than "Sticky Bean Bun" and she should be superior to her, she also knew that what Xia Yuan had done before was wrong.
At this time, Xia Zhengming and Xia Qingzhang came in with bad looks on their faces. Neither of them looked at the crying Shao Yunhan, but looked at Xia Yuan.
Xia Qingzhang looked at Xia Yuan deeply for a while, causing her to shrink back into the sofa, and then he said, "Xia Yuan, come with me to the study."
Xia Yuan knew that her father would definitely scold her if the matter was exposed, so she prepared herself mentally and stood up and followed Xia Zhengming into the study. Seeing this, Old Lady Xia also stood up and followed him in, but as soon as she entered, she saw Xia Qingzhang raise his hand and slap Xia Yuan hard in the face.
He was really angry. He had worked diligently for so many years. It cannot be said that his whole heart was for this country and its people, but he had never thought of abusing his power for personal gain or oppressing the people. He even had strict requirements for his family members.
The whole family is strict with themselves, and no one expected her to do such a thing.
Xia Yuan had never been hit since she was a child, let alone slapped in the face. Even if this incident was exposed, she was not particularly afraid. She was the daughter of the Xia family, and her father and brother would clean up after her no matter what.
But she never expected that after her father found out about what happened, he slapped her without saying a word. The slap was so strong that her head was buzzing and her face was burning with pain. She covered her face with her hands, looked at Xia Qingzhang with tears in her eyes and said, "Dad, is it a big deal? Why are you like this?"
Xia Qingzhang was so angry that his heart ached. He pointed at Xia Yuan with a trembling finger and said, "What's the big deal? This is not a big deal? What is a big deal in your eyes? Murder and arson?"
"Why am I doing this?" Xia Yuan said, stiffening her neck. "It's because you treat Lulu and Hanhan differently from Xia Ying and Xia Yi. If they were the same as Xia Ying and Xia Yi, would I have to go to such great lengths to do all this?"
"What do you mean by differential treatment?" Xia Qingzhang held onto the desk with one hand to prevent his trembling body from falling. Seeing this, Xia Zhengming hurried over to help him sit down, then looked at Xia Yuan and said:
"You are so heartless. You have not seen the kindness your family has shown you over the years. This time you did something so outrageous, not only did you not admit your mistake, but you also pushed the responsibility onto us. Do we owe you anything?"
Xia Yuan covered her face, pursed her lips and said nothing, but from her stubborn expression, it was clear that she still didn't think she was wrong. Xia Zhengming was completely disappointed.
Old Mrs. Xia was completely confused. She looked at Xia Zhengming and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Xia Zhengming walked over and helped her sit down, then told her the whole story again, and finally said: "Now Ye Chi is here, Zhang Zijun is making a fuss outside, and someone has reported her."
After hearing what he said, Old Lady Xia was also trembling with anger. She held her chest and took several deep breaths before she said, "What are Ye Chi and Zhang Zijun doing?"
Xia Zhengming poured her a glass of water and said, "That little author called Sticky Bean Curd seems to have two older sisters, who are engaged to Ye Chi and Zhang Zijun respectively."
Old Lady Xia was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Yuan with an expression that said, "I've never seen anyone as stupid as you." Xia Yuan was also confused. She knew that Gu Erhui was Zhang Zijun's girlfriend, but she had no idea that Ye Chi was also the future son-in-law of the Gu family.
Thinking of this, she felt hatred and jealousy. She once thought about Ye Chi dating her eldest daughter, but her family said it was not possible. She then fell in love with Zhang Zijun, but she didn't know when Zhang Zijun got engaged.
The two "sons-in-law" she liked were snatched away by the daughters of the Gu family. Gu Siqing also always suppressed her youngest daughter in every way. The Gu family was naturally incompatible with her.
"Let's not talk about anything else for now." Xia Qingzhang had recovered a little. He looked at Xia Yuan and asked, "How do you have connections with the police station?"
