Chapter 175 Internal Strife in the Xu Family



Xu Mo himself was also not feeling well. Due to the intensity of the fire, his face was covered in soot, and he also suffered minor burns on his skin.

"Thankfully, the fire was brought under control, otherwise the entire villa would have been destroyed!"

Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief. When he noticed the injuries on his body, he also felt a surge of resentment towards Xu Feng. He was clearly a dying man, yet he was being tortured in every way!

This solidified Xu Mo's resolve to carry out his evil revenge plan!

...

Xu Family Villa.

Everyone noticed the thick smoke coming from the villa across the street, and the family members quickly went downstairs to the living room to discuss the matter.

Xu Anguo, sitting on the sofa, asked first, "What exactly happened to Xu Mo's villa? How did it suddenly catch fire?"

After looking around, Su Yun asked, "Does anyone know the cause of this?"

Xu Feng shook his head: "Although I hate my brother, I would never do something so flawed."

After noticing everyone's gaze, the second sister, Xu Ruyan, immediately explained, "I didn't do it."

Third Sister Xu Qingxue spread her hands: "It wasn't me who did it, was it you? Fourth Sister?"

Fourth sister Xu Mengting denied it: "I didn't!"

Fifth Sister Xu Wenwan pouted: "I have no money, no connections, and I rely entirely on my family for support. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Anguo said, "So, the fire at Xu Mo's villa has nothing to do with any of you?"

Everyone remained silent, clearly unwilling to answer the question.

Su Yun calmly said, "I know you are dissatisfied with Xu Mo, but I also advise you to be clear-headed and not do anything to harm the Xu family at this crucial time!"

Xu Feng then spoke up, "Mom and Dad, I actually ordered Butler Li to secretly install a surveillance camera not long ago. It's pointed at the villa where my brother lives. If you're worried, we can take a look at the footage recorded by the surveillance camera to confirm what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Xu Anguo praised, "Xiao Feng is so clever. It seems you had already guessed that this would happen today?"

Su Yun smiled slightly, then turned to the four sisters and scolded them, "You should all learn from Xiao Feng! Instead, all you do is eat, drink, and have fun all day long!"

The four sisters remained silent. As for the so-called eating, drinking and having fun, they considered it a joke. If anyone in the family knew how to eat, drink and have fun the most, it would be Su Yun and Xu Anguo!

Su Yun frequented mahjong parlors, often losing millions of yuan. She also occasionally bought expensive cosmetics or got beauty treatments like hyaluronic acid injections...

Xu Anguo wasn't much better off; he was constantly soaking his feet or washing his hair. Several times he was even taken to the police station, and if his family hadn't paid for his bail, he might have been detained for several more days...

Of course, these are only one side of the story. Who knows what they did behind the scenes, or how they did it?

Butler Li brought the computer to the living room and played the surveillance footage. Suddenly, everyone knew how Xu Mo's villa caught fire.

Xu Anguo wondered, "Xu Mo is throwing his phone and smashing his computer. Could he be suffering from a mental illness?"

Su Yun shrugged: "Ever since he cut ties with us, he seems to have become a bit mentally unstable. But who cares? So what if he goes crazy? I can cure him!"

After pondering for a while, Xu Feng began to recall the previous question: Are there any reborn people in this world? Probably not! Then why was his brother so sure that he wouldn't live much longer?

The four sisters realized the problem from their parents' words. If their parents could treat their own son, Xu Mo, this way, what about their feelings towards them? Had their hearts undergone a complete change?

After all, the four sisters had lost their ability to earn money since Xu Mo left. Staying at home would only keep draining the family's wealth. From a profit perspective, they were no longer of any value to the family.

Xu Anguo may have noticed the four sisters' dejection, which made him decide on something they had discussed earlier. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and started puffing away, ignoring everyone's attitude.

Both Xu Feng and the four sisters felt uncomfortable after inhaling secondhand smoke.

Second sister Xu Ruyan advised, "Dad, could you please stop smoking in the living room? It's affecting many of us."

Third sister Xu Qingxue turned her head away in disgust: "Dad, do you know how harmful secondhand smoke is to the human body? Especially to the family!"

Fourth Sister Xu Mengting: "Can you please stop being so annoying?"

Fifth Sister Xu Wenwan remained silent. She was clear-headed and believed that she was a parasite living in this family, and that she had only survived to this day thanks to the support of her family. She felt that she had no right to comment on Xu Anguo's smoking in public.

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow, vaguely sensing that something was wrong with Xu Anguo's condition. However, he once again played the role of a son or daughter, got up and sat down next to Xu Anguo, taking the cigarette from his mouth: "Dad, smoking is bad for your health. You should smoke less in the future!"

Xu Anguo was stunned; he seemed not to have expected Xu Feng to make such a move.

Seeing this, Su Yun stared coldly at the four sisters, then pointed at them and scolded, "People say that daughters are their fathers' little cotton-padded jackets, but look at yourselves, you don't even try to stop your father from smoking! Where is your behavior as daughters?"

The four sisters were quite dissatisfied with this.

Second sister Xu Ruyan sneered repeatedly: "Mom, what are you saying? Dad wants to smoke, do we girls have the right to advise him? Anyway, it's you who thinks we did wrong, that we didn't persuade him to quit smoking in time, but what about you? As his wife, did you ever advise him to quit smoking?"

Third sister Xu Qingxue clapped her hands and cheered: "Second sister is right, Mom. If you wanted to persuade Dad to quit smoking, he should have quit long ago! Now you're standing on the moral high ground accusing us of not being worthy of being children? What's the point?"

Fourth sister Xu Mengting has always been rebellious and would never dare to talk back to her parents normally, but now that her second and third sisters have taken the lead, as sisters, she naturally has to stand on their side: "Mom, are you sick?"

Fifth Sister Xu Wenwan didn't want to offend either side, so she chose to keep quiet and remain silent.

Xu Feng realized that things were getting increasingly strange, and that his mother seemed to be deliberately stirring up trouble. She must have her reasons. So, what agreement did his parents reach, and what were they going to announce?

"Mom and Dad, sisters, if there's anything wrong, why don't we sit down and talk it over? Why make the atmosphere so awkward?"

Su Yun slammed her hand on the table and stood up, shouting in front of everyone, "This matter cannot be discussed today."
