Chapter 411 Two Choices
Old Master Xia looked his whimsical granddaughter up and down, and said sternly with disdain, "You? Let's not talk about whether Tianyu likes you or not. Let's just talk about why the Xiao family would go against the Zhou family, who are also top-tier and powerful, just for a trouble-making woman?
Do you think you deserve such a thing? The Xiao family thinks you are worthy of such a thing. Self-confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is arrogance! "
"Grandpa, although Li Guo'er is the granddaughter of the Zhou family, she comes from the countryside after all. I don't believe the Xiao family won't despise her! As long as our Xia family is willing to follow the Xiao family's lead, the Xiao family will definitely agree to our marriage!"
Xia Youyou spoke confidently with a colorful face. She didn't believe that the Xiao family was willing to lose the surrender of a first-class family.
Old Master Xia was so angry that he laughed. This was truly her good granddaughter. For her own selfish desires, she dragged the entire Xia family to work like slaves for others.
Even if his family goes downhill, it is still a first-class family. How could it be reduced to the point of being someone else's younger brother?
Not to mention whether they can gain benefits from it, they will definitely be made a laughing stock by all the noble families in the imperial capital, okay?
"Heh~ Li Guoer is indeed from the countryside, but she has the country as her backing! What do you have? And the Xiao family despises you? The Xiao family must have burned incense for eight lifetimes to get such a future daughter-in-law, okay? Do you know how many people in the imperial capital envy her? She would give up the Golden Phoenix for a mere Xia family? What are you thinking?"
He was so envious that his eyes almost turned red, okay? Why didn't Yun Nuo have the same luck as the kid from the Xiao family?
"Impossible. How could Li Guoer have the country as her backer? Is it because of her beauty? That's all she is good at!" Xia Youyou couldn't believe what her grandfather said and started talking nonsense.
What is Li Guoer's merit and ability? She is just beautiful and has some medical skills, what else can she do?
"You are still deceiving yourself at this point? How can you get the country's support without making any contribution? Brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't have it!" Xia Yunnuo rolled his eyes and looked at her with disgust and sneered.
What's wrong? Is it so hard to accept that others are better than you? Is it only by constantly slandering others that you can find comfort?
Xia Youyou's expression didn't change at all despite her cousin's ridicule. Instead, she shamelessly said, "Since you admire her so much, then go after her. Marry her home, and no one will compete with me for Brother Yu! This is something that benefits both you and me!"
"Are you still shameless? Do you like to steal other people's things? And you encourage me to do the same as you? Aren't you a cheapskate?" Xia Yunnuo cursed angrily. She had never seen such a shameless person.
How could a man like him, who already had a fiancée, covet such a beautiful woman?
Even if he didn't have a fiancée, he wouldn't snatch a woman from his brother! Is this something a human being would do?
He admitted that he had been attracted to such a dazzling woman, but he had kept it in his heart and never expressed it.
“Yun Nuo, just speak, how can you scold your sister like that?”
Xia Jingyan was very dissatisfied with her nephew scolding her daughter, and she scolded him to protect her son.
"I scolded her because she deserved it! She has brought shame to the Xia family! I shouldn't have called her back then!" Xia Yunnuo said in a cold voice with a gloomy face, and there was a hint of gritted hatred in his words.
I also began to feel cold towards my aunt. Why didn't I realize before that she was so unable to distinguish right from wrong?
"You...you...how can you be so vicious? Don't you want your sister to be happy at all?" Xia Jingyan shouted angrily, pointing and shaking her finger.
How can this nephew be so heartless and have no sympathy at all? Youyou is his relative!
Didn't she even think about what made Xia Youyou worthy of others' sympathy?
Old Master Xia interrupted their conversation. Up to now, the mother and daughter had not shown any remorse, so there was no point in talking to them any further.
He also saw through the hearts of his daughter and granddaughter. They only cared about themselves and didn't care about the life and death of their family at all.
My heart is chilled. Since you are so heartless and ungrateful, don't blame the old man for being cruel.
"Alright, I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense. I'm giving you two choices. First, you and your daughter must accept the family rules together. From now on, you must accept all arrangements made by the family, including marriage. Second, you must be removed from the family. From now on, everything you do will have nothing to do with the Xia family! Choose one for yourself!"
Hearing these two choices, Xia Jingyan was stunned, her heart suddenly sank, and she begged bitterly: "Dad, how can you be so cruel? We are your family! Can't you be lenient with us?"
She didn't want to choose either of these two options. The lightest family punishment was 20 lashes, not to mention that Youyou would not even have the freedom to marry in the future. She also couldn't accept being expelled from the family.
Without waiting for Grandpa Xia to say anything, Xia Youyou was the first to quit.
She yelled, "What kind of society are we living in now? What gives you the right to use family law? This is illegal! I won't accept it! You still want to control my marriage? Don't even think about it!"
Are you kidding me? In this day and age, there's still this family rule? Isn't this just old-fashioned feudalism?
"What have I done wrong in educating my useless descendants? If you can't accept it, get out of the Xia family!" Old Master Xia said sternly.
Although there hasn't been any family discipline in decades, it doesn't mean that there isn't any in his family.
For descendants like Xia Youyou, family rules must be used to deter them, so that they don't become ignorant of their own limitations and cause trouble everywhere.
"Just get out of here! Do you think I care about your Xia family?" Xia Youyou raised her ugly face and said proudly, "Mom, let's go! You have such a big studio. Our good days are ahead of us. We won't be restricted by the Xia family anymore!"
She can live a good life without relying on the Xia family. Old man Xia is dreaming if he wants to control her and her daughter to contribute to the family.
Old Master Xia looked at Xia Jingyan steadily and asked in a cold voice, "Do you have the same idea as her?"
"Dad, isn't it you who forced us to do this? You could have given me a lighter punishment, but you insisted on making it so severe. Then don't blame us for leaving the Xia family!" Xia Jingyan threatened with red eyes.
She still couldn't believe that her father, who had always loved her, would give up on her.
"Heh~ Not only do you use up all the family's resources without even thinking about how to repay them, you're also stirring up trouble everywhere and dragging the family down with you. What use do I have for you ungrateful wolves? Since you've made your decision, I support your choice. You can leave now!"
Old Master Xia frowned, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and spoke in a tone as cold as freezing rain.
It's not that he is cruel. With Xia Youyou's ability to cause trouble and her refusal to accept her family's discipline, they will be dragged down to death by her sooner or later. He can't risk his entire family on such a gamble!
"Okay! Then I have nothing to do with the Xia family from now on!"
After saying that, Xia Jingyan took Xia Youyou and turned away.
