w.a.n.g Kun continued to stare at Qiao Mei as if she was his prey! Qiao Mei could not help but say, “Elder Cousin-in-law, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”

“No, no!” w.a.n.g Kun said in a panic.

Xia Bai gave w.a.n.g Kun a hard kick. He already had a roving eye back in the northwest and he was always surrounded by women. She did not expect him to be up to his old tricks even in the capital! He actually dared to have designs on a Xia family member!

“Cousin-in-law, don’t misunderstand. Your elder cousin-in-law’s eyesight isn’t very good and he has crossed eyes. It’s more strenuous for him to look at people and that’s why he keeps staring at you,” Xia Bai explained.

w.a.n.g Kun immediately covered his eyes and said, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Xu Lan was not a fool and knew that Xia Bai and w.a.n.g Kun were just making things up. There were clearly no issues with w.a.n.g Kun’s eyes! However, for the sake of harmony in the family, Xu Lan endured it and said, “Is that so? Have you gone for treatment?”

“The doctor said that it’s a genetic defect and there’s no way to treat it,” Xia Bai said.

“Then Elder Cousin-in-law, you have to be more mindful in the future. Don’t stare at other people in this manner. We’re a family and can easily clear up the misunderstanding. However, it might not be so easy outside,” Qiao Mei said.

“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll remember that!” w.a.n.g Kun said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

An Xin and Xu Lan sat in the living room and chatted about the family. The two of them had not met before and there were many changes in the family, so they naturally had to get to know each other better.

Xia Bai pulled w.a.n.g Kun aside and whispered, “Are you crazy! Why are you staring at that woman! That’s Xia Zhe’s wife! Don’t cause trouble for me!”

“I don’t mean anything!” w.a.n.g Kun stammered.

“Nonsense! Do you think I don’t know you well! Our two families are close relatives and we still need to count on Elder Granduncle’s family to help us in the capital in the future. If you offend them, I won’t let you off!” Xia Bai said.

“Who can I offend? As if I’m that capable!” w.a.n.g Kun said.

They stopped arguing after a while. Xia Bai looked at Qiao Mei and Xia You, who were standing by the window in the distance, and said softly, “Do you still remember what I told you back in the northwest? Xia Wen only takes care of the matters outside the house. Most of the family matters are decided by Qiao Mei. She is the main reason why everyone in Elder Grandfather’s family is a high achiever in their respective fields.”

“We have no relations.h.i.+p with them. Will they help me?” w.a.n.g Kun asked.

“What do you mean by no relations.h.i.+p! Our two families are relatives! Grandfather and Elder Granduncle are blood relations! Moreover, Elder Granduncle still owes our family a favor from back then!” Xia Bai said.

It was not really a favor per se. Xia Jun had joined the army at a very young age and it was Xia Zheng who took care of their parents. Xia Jun did not manage to take care of his parents at all before they pa.s.sed.

As their parents were sick and bedridden, Xia Zheng never had the chance to go out and explore the world. Hence, Xia Jun had always felt that if not for him, Xia Zheng would definitely be living a better life than he had now.

“Let’s go and talk to Qiao Mei later! You must remember what I told you! Don’t make any mistakes!” Xia Bai warned.

“Got it,” w.a.n.g Kun said.

Qiao Mei and Xia You stood by the window and looked out into the garden outside. Xia You’s expression was one of impatience and she looked like she wanted to chase Xia Zheng’s family out immediately!

“Cousin-in-law, I don’t feel like being here anymore. Look at them!” Xia You said unhappily.

“Who made you so angry?” Qiao Mei asked with a laugh.

“Second Granduncle, Uncle and Aunt are fine, but look at how arrogant Eldest Cousin and Eldest Cousin-in-law are! Moreover, that Eldest Cousin-in-law keeps staring at you so l.u.s.tfully. He’s definitely not a good person!” Xia You said.

“Second Granduncle has been a sore point for Grandfather for so many years. We have to be nice to his family members. Even if there’s any issue, so long as they come and provoke us, let’s not hold it against them,” Qiao Mei reminded her.

“How can it be that just because of all those events in the past, our family has to take a backseat to their family for the rest of our lives!” Xia You said indignantly.

“That’s not true. Favors will eventually be repaid one day. How do you know that their family won’t need our help?” Qiao Mei said.

“But I just can’t take this lying down!” Xia You said through gritted teeth.

“I’m just glad that Xia He isn’t around now. If the two of you work together, you can probably shake up the entire Xia family!” Qiao Mei said as she shook her head helplessly.

“I’m not as impulsive as Cousin Xia He! Don’t tarnish our reputations!” Xia You said gleefully.
