Chapter 7 Leaving the Xia Family
"Lan'er, it's only been a few days, and you already miss me so much? You even tried to get me into bed in broad daylight." The man's voice was deep and rough.
The voice that responded to this was Madam Xia's seductive voice, "The old woman's informant isn't here today, so of course I have to call you."
"Tsk tsk, she's still my mom, so be polite."
"Why are you being so polite? You're just an adopted son. She doesn't even want to leave you any shares. If I hadn't been quick-witted, I would have had Jingjing coaxing her all these years."
"All of the Xia family's assets will end up benefiting that brat Xia Yue."
"Lan'er, you're so good to me, I'm going to reward you properly!"
"..."
An ambiguous sound came from inside the house.
Xia Yue's body stiffened, her expression one of shock.
She never expected that she would end up with Madam Xia—no, she should be called Liu Meilan now!
The man having an affair with Liu Meilan was actually her uncle, Xia Xiong.
Although Xia Xiong was an adopted son of the Xia family and was not favored by his grandmother, he was still his father's nominal elder brother and had a family.
He actually did this with Liu Meilan!
Xia Yue felt nauseous.
It was even more disgusting than when Xia Jingjing and Cui Hao betrayed her together.
Xia Yue desperately wanted to rush in and confront the despicable couple, asking them where they had placed her father.
But in the end, she held back, secretly recorded the sound, and climbed over the balcony to leave.
Back in my room, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
At dinner time, Xia Yue didn't want to go downstairs to see Liu Meilan, so she asked the maid to bring her food to her room.
As a result, they waited for a long time, but dinner still didn't arrive.
She had no choice but to go to the restaurant by herself.
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, they heard Liu Meilan cursing, "Does that brat have no hands or feet? If you ever bring her food upstairs again, you can all get out of here!"
She wondered why dinner hadn't arrived yet; it turned out Liu Meilan was behind it all.
Xia Yue stepped forward and said coldly, "Liu Meilan, they are paid by the Xia family, not you. You have no right to fire them!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Meilan immediately turned around and glared at Xia Yue!
She hadn't expected Xia Yue to become so audacious, daring to call her by her name directly!
She raised her voice and shouted, "You brat, don't think that just because you're going to marry Young Master Qin, you'll become a phoenix on a branch of a tree."
You will always be a member of the Xia family. I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. You must listen to me!
In the past, Xia Yue would have given in to Liu Meilan out of consideration for their blood relation.
But today, she only glanced at Liu Meilan sideways and said resolutely and coldly, "I would rather I wasn't born to you."
After saying that, she went to the dining table to eat.
The servants were all taken aback when they heard this.
The young lady is usually very tolerant of the madam, and no matter how the madam scolds her, she will not talk back.
How dare you speak to Madam like that today? Has the sun risen in the west?
Liu Meilan felt that her authority was gradually losing its effectiveness on Xia Yue, and she was really losing control of this "daughter".
Does she already know the truth?
No, that's impossible. The old woman dislikes this girl too and wouldn't say such things to her!
Liu Meilan clenched her fists, thinking about her next steps. This brat still had a lot of value to her.
Therefore, Liu Meilan had to change her strategy, putting on the appearance of a loving mother and speaking in a low voice.
"Yueyue, Mommy is doing this for your own good. I don't want the maid to bring you food because I want to help you become independent."
"If you do the same when you go to the Qin family, people will say we have no manners."
Xia Yue found the words "tutor" hilarious.
"From childhood to adulthood, you've only ever treated Xia Jingjing like your precious daughter, giving her all the best food and toys. What have you ever taught me? Do you even deserve to be my daughter?"
Xia Yue grew increasingly indifferent as she spoke.
Liu Meilan had little patience, and her expression changed again, but she held back.
Just then, Liu Meilan's phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was her daughter, Xia Jingjing, calling, so she answered immediately.
After listening to Xia Jingjing's description on the other end of the phone, Liu Meilan was so angry that she picked up a porcelain bowl and smashed it at Xia Yue!
Fortunately, Xia Yue reacted quickly and dodged immediately.
But Liu Meilan pounced on her and slapped her across the face!
Xia Yue reached out to stop her!
Liu Meilan missed and cursed viciously, "You brat! How dare you bully Jingjing and make her fall and be hospitalized? Why don't you just die?"
Liu Meilan had just been putting on a loving mother's act, but now that she heard Xia Jingjing was injured and hospitalized, and that Xia Yue was the culprit behind it all, she immediately turned hostile.
Xia Yue was already used to Liu Meilan's change of attitude.
She didn't take it seriously.
But Liu Meilan continued to curse, "You jinx! You killed my husband and now you've caused my daughter to be hospitalized! Get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue gave a sarcastic smile, "I am now Qin Shao's betrothed. Are you sure you want me to leave? Aren't you afraid the Xia family will be unable to explain themselves?"
Liu Meilan instantly regained consciousness.
The Qin family was a lucrative target, and she didn't want the cooked duck to fly away, so she had no choice but to suppress her anger.
After glaring fiercely at Xia Yue, Liu Meilan found a driver and drove to the hospital.
Xia Yue ate her meal calmly, and went back to her room after finishing.
Too much happened today; she needs a rest.
But in the middle of the night, Xia Yue suddenly felt something on the bed.
It's very icy and slippery.
Like...
snake! ! !
grass
Xia Yue cursed inwardly, then immediately jumped out of bed and turned on the room light.
She discovered snakes not only on the bed, but also on the vanity mirror and the carpet!
