Xie Xihe walked towards Uncle Xie Wu step by step. Every time she took a step forward, Uncle Xie Wu took a step back.
His panic grew stronger, but he still stiffened his neck and shouted, "Xie Xihe, what do you want to do?"
"Xie Xi and I are warning you, this is the Xie family. As an adopted daughter of the Xie family, you should respect and worship the legitimate master of the Xie family. Don't think you are still the eldest daughter of the Xie family who was praised by everyone!"
"You eat our food, wear our clothes, use our things, and yet in the end, you still want to bully our people! How can this be justified?!"
"Don't even mention it at home. Even if we say it outside, our Xie family is right!"
"Haha, I know you are a big star now and have a powerful backer, but everything you get is based on the premise that you are the eldest daughter of the Xie family. If you don't have this identity, do you think anyone will pay attention to you!" He pointed at Xie Xihe's nose and shouted.
Xie Xihe finally stopped, just three steps away from Uncle Xie Wu.
She quietly looked at the old fingers in front of her. Her eyes seemed calm, but deep inside them seemed to be surging with molten flames that could erupt at any moment and devour people without leaving even a bone.
The hairs on Fifth Uncle Xie's back stood up, but relying on his seniority and age, he was sure that no matter how angry Xie Xihe was, she wouldn't dare to attack him. He said fearlessly, "What are you looking at? You're just an abandoned girl with unknown origins. It's because our Xie family kindly adopted you that you're where you are today. You... you... you... you kneel down!"
The old man's hair and beard were all white, and his face was covered with wrinkles. He should have looked kind and gentle, but the arrogance and complacency on his face destroyed his appearance, leaving only harshness.
Xie Xihe suddenly chuckled.
It was not the usual casual smile, but a smile filled with teasing, sarcasm, and even deeper arrogance.
Her red lips parted slightly, and she spoke slowly, "Okay, then kneel down."
Uncle Xie Wu and Xie Tingyuan and his daughter felt relieved instantly and couldn't help but straighten their backs.
Xie Tingyuan felt that the anger and embarrassment he had endured over the past six months had dissipated considerably at this moment. He smiled kindly and said, "That's right. We're all family. Why can't we talk things out peacefully? Why make things so tense?"
"Xiao Xi, even though you are just an adopted daughter of our Xie family, you have been surnamed Xie for so many years and have called my father 'Dad' for so many years. Your fifth great-uncle is my father's uncle and an elder. It is only right that you kneel before him."
"Okay, first kowtow to your fifth uncle and admit your fault. After you've admitted your fault, we can sit down and talk it over."
Xie Xihe glanced at him: "Then why are you still standing there?"
Xie Tingyuan was stunned for a moment, his intuition was wrong, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and asked with a vigilant look: "What do you mean?"
Xie Xihe's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted in a low voice: "Xuan San Xuan Qi."
Two figures emerged from the shadows outside the door and walked into the house in a flash. Without Xie Xihe's further instructions, they landed directly behind Uncle Xie Wu and Xie Tingyuan.
The two men's movements were quite consistent. With a kick, a twist and a swing, they forced the two men to kneel in front of Xie Xihe.
Xuan San had a cold face. He glanced at Xie Mingzhu who was standing beside Xie Tingyuan with a look of astonishment on her face, and simply pushed her in front of Xie Xihe.
Xuan Qi followed suit and pushed the middle-aged man who was following Uncle Xie Wu over.
With a dull "thump", Xie Mingzhu's knee hit the marble floor heavily. It was not until the pain reached her brain that she came to her senses belatedly. Her pretty little face turned purple in an instant.
She tried to resist, but was kicked to the ground as soon as she moved.
A foot landed on her shoulder, pinning her to the ground. Xie Mingzhu tried to look up, but only saw a pair of eyes filled with coldness.
Xie Mingzhu recognized it immediately. Those were...Xie Xihe's eyes.
Xie Mingzhu's body suddenly stiffened. In an instant, humiliation, fear, panic, hatred...all kinds of emotions surged into her heart, so strong that she could no longer maintain her calm on the surface.
Staring at her intently.
Xie Xihe put one foot on Xie Mingzhu's shoulder and leaned over to look at her: "You have nothing to do all day long, just staring at me?"
"Your father and grandmother have learned their lesson, why can't you learn your lesson?"
Xie Mingzhu's eyes were filled with hatred, and countless questions and curses were swirling in her stomach, but her face was pressed firmly to the ground, and she couldn't even utter a word.
Xie Xihe turned his head while stepping on Xie Mingzhu's shoulder, his eyes landing on the frightened Fifth Uncle Xie. He sneered, "Others just fooled you around a bit and you're the first to take action. You're already old, but your brain is as stupid as a pig's."
"Pigs are smarter than you."
Uncle Xie's face flushed instantly, and he pointed at Xie Xihe with a trembling finger: "You...you..."
With a "crack", Xie Xihe broke his finger and said coldly: "Just talk, don't point your chicken claws at me."
Uncle Xie Wu screamed "Ah Wu" and his eyelids turned white with anger and pain.
Xie Xihe was completely unmoved.
At this moment, another old man who had been sitting upright on the sofa since Xie Xihe and his group entered the room finally stood up.
He didn't look at Xie Xihe, but at Xie Bowen who had just recovered from taking the medicine.
He asked in a calm voice, "Bowen, you are the head of the Xie family. As members of the family, we should support your decisions. But this time you have really gone too far. For the sake of the Xie family, we elders have no choice but to stand up and say a few words."
He glanced in the direction of Xie Xihe, his eyes deep: "Let your daughter release the person first, and then everyone can sit down and talk it out."
"Regardless of her status, since her last name is Xie, she is a descendant of the Xie family. How can we ask an elder to kneel before a younger one?"
"I won't comment on your family's affairs, but she can't bear Lao Wu's kneeling!"
The person who spoke was the second uncle of the Xie family, who was also the oldest and most senior elder still alive in the Xie family.
Second Uncle Xie is different from Fifth Uncle Xie. He is Xie Bowen's biological second uncle. He is much closer to him both in terms of blood relationship and emotion. Xie Bowen has always respected this second uncle.
If it were something else, Xie Bowen would have given him some face, but at this moment, facing the other party's resounding conclusion, Xie Bowen just stood up slowly with a sullen face.
"Why is she not worthy of Fifth Uncle kneeling?"
"Don't even mention being the fifth uncle. Even if it's me, her adoptive father, kneeling down, Xie Xihe is worthy of it!"
"She deserves everyone in the Xie family to kneel down to her!"
After he finished speaking, he actually pulled Xie Yi and knelt down in the direction of Xie Xihe. He changed his previous weak expression and said loudly: "The head of the 6721395th branch, Xie Bowen, pays homage to the eldest lady of our family!"
