Chapter 198 Who put us on fire?
Xia Bowen sent the man away with a wry smile on his face.
After returning, he sat down on the sofa without saying a word.
Xia Ming, who followed behind, also had a bad look on his face.
Xia Bowen looked at Xia Ming with a bad look, rubbed his forehead, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Ming said: "Dad, are we being put on fire?"
Xia Bowen asked back: "Who put us on fire?"
Xia Ming remained silent.
"You are also a department leader and have participated in major decisions. Tell me with an impartial mindset, who put us in trouble?" 窨
Xia Ming stood at the door, clenching his hands tightly: "I know you hate my mother now."
"Shouldn't I hate her?"
Xia Bowen's voice was a little cold.
"It's been until now, and she still has no repentance. Not only has she not taken any action, but she hates me.
I really don't understand, why does your mother hate me?
At the beginning, I didn't hide anything from her. After getting married, I did what she said.
For so many years, I didn't give a penny of support to those three children.
窨You are also a father, you should know that this matter is condemned by thousands of people.
I don't care, I am indifferent, I just pretend that there are no three children in the world.
If your mother had a little humanity, you would not fall into such a dilemma today.
Xia Ming, do you know that Xia Xindong's body is full of scars from being whipped?
Shangguan Heng, your good uncle, is more cruel than your mother. Why does he treat my children like that?
Tell me, how have I let down the Shangguan family?
I don't ask for gratitude from the Shangguan family, I don't ask for any return from them, but Shangguan Heng gave me a big gift instead.
窨You also know why your uncle and I had a falling out.
That medicine was clearly developed by Xia Xindong, but he didn't mention it at all. He made me beg him humbly.
I bowed my head for you!
I have been devoted to the Shangguan family, but this is how he repays me?
Xia Ming, you may still be thinking that your uncle has his own secrets, but I tell you, once I think of his ugly face, I wish he would never redeem himself! "
Xia Bowen's expression was cold. Did he think that this was the end?
Not for Xia Xindong, but for the past when I was fooled. Shangguan Heng, I will not let you go!
Xia Ming's face was pale.
There was hatred in his eyes.
If the uncle had treated Xia Xindong well and raised him well, even if the matter was exposed today, there would be room for change.
He was a good person, excellent and outstanding. Even if the mother did something wrong, it would be forgiven.
However, the uncle treated Xia Xindong like a dog.
How could the father not hate him?
Even he was resentful in his heart. "Xia Ming
, you still can't look at this matter from an impartial standpoint. I'm very disappointed in you. With this mentality, you still want to transfer to the judicial department. I'm worried that your butt is crooked."
Xia Ming's face flushed: "Dad, how can you think of me like this?"
"Shouldn't I think so? Is the victim guilty in your eyes? Do
you want Xia Xindong to disappear completely? Are you also thinking about revenge on Song Yunuan?"
Xia Ming said harshly: "We will not do anything illegal."
Xia Bowen sneered: "Where have Xia Liying and Xia Zhi been these two days? Are they really taking care of your mother in the hospital?"
"Xia Ming, you are the eldest brother, but I am their father. No matter what they do, I am responsible. But if you know and don't report it, Xia Ming, you will fall into an abyss of no return."
窨Xia Ming tried to defend himself, even though he knew his words were useless: "Dad, everyone has selfish motives. From a selfish point of view, my mother did it for us. If we blame her, what will happen to us?"
"So you can't tell right from wrong?"
Xia Bowen calmed himself down and said to Xia Ming: "And don't you see clearly that this is no longer just my business.
If I really did something, Gong Yunbin and the others would deal with me first.
You, Xia Ming, are no exception. You have been excellent since you were a child and have hardly suffered any setbacks. I have protected you very well.
Suddenly, something like this happened and you were unbalanced. I understand.
At this time, you did not abandon your mother, and I am actually very relieved.
窨" At least it proves that you are a filial son, and your mother has not worked hard for you all her life in vain."
"What about you, father?"
"Xia Ming, you have to know that Xia Xindong is also my son. Even if we don't recognize each other, he is my blood and my descendant, and no one can change this."
"So you want to sacrifice my mother completely?" Xia Ming asked uncomfortably.
"Do you know why I have protected you and the Shangguan family for the past 30 years, and why you have come to this point safely and smoothly?"
Xia Ming looked at Xia Bowen without saying a word.
In fact, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it. "
It's because I always keep my original intention in the face of right and wrong."
Xia Bowen stood up, his voice full of impatience: "I'm going to the hospital, you think about it carefully, don't let me down."
Then he said: "Shangguan Wan is not suitable to stay in Beidu any longer, I have already handled all the procedures for her, and will leave for Hong Kong tomorrow."
Xia Bowen walked in front of Xia Ming, looked at the face that was somewhat similar to Shangguan Heng, closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them.
"Xia Ming, you are responsible for sending Shangguan Wan out, don't interfere with other things."
Xia Ming fell silent.
Shangguan Wan is his cousin, and they don't really have much affection for each other, but Xiaowan came here to avoid marriage. 窨
If she goes back, she will definitely marry into the family.
Especially in this situation now.
To send Xia Xindong back, the three families have gone through countless fierce disputes.
Xia Xindong is a cash cow, their hope for longevity.
Shangguan Heng must be in a very difficult
situation now. If Shangguan Wan goes back, she can only marry into the Zhong family.
Xia Ming doesn't care much. 窨
Their family is in a mess now, so they don't have time to take care of Shangguan Wan.
Unexpectedly, there was a bang on the stairs.
Xia Bowen turned around and saw Shangguan Wan, with a panicked look on her face, running down from upstairs in a hurry.
She ran to Xia Bowen, suddenly knelt down, her face pale: "Uncle, please don't send me back to Hong Kong. If I go back, I can only marry into the Zhong family. You don't know how scary that lunatic in the Zhong family is. He has killed several people. If I marry into his family, I will only die.
Let me stay here for a while, until my father can figure out a solution. Please, uncle, please don't send me away.
I know what my father did is very abominable, but I don't know it. I really don't know anything. It has nothing to do with me."
