“It’s the festive season, so I have come to visit Xia Xing. Third Uncle is not at home today?” Xia Wen asked curiously.

“Don’t you know why your third uncle isn’t at home?” Zhou Kui said moodily.

Xia Wen knew very well that Xia Guang was helping Tang Hui to move to a new house! Many northerners had headed to the south to do business and there were many vacant houses around, so it was not difficult to rent one.

Xia Guang took great care not to tell anyone the address of this house and even carried out the move in secret. He was worried that if word got out and Zhou Hua found out about it, she would come looking for trouble again.

Even after Tang Hui moved, she still had to continue teaching at Seventh High. If Zhou Hua went to the school to cause trouble, there was nothing they could do. Xia Guang had even thought about getting Tang Hui another job.

Qiao Mei arrived at Xia Xing’s house with two boxes of bird’s nests. She heard that Shao Yin had not been feeling well lately, so she had specially bought some top-notch bird’s nests for Shao Yin to nourish her body!

“Everyone is here! I’m really sorry to be late. It’s all because of the traffic jam!” Qiao Mei said as she pushed open the door.

“Hmph! You’re not welcome in our house! You should not have come!” Old Madam Zhou said.

Qiao Mei was not affected, but Xia Wen’s expression darkened instantly. However, Old Madam Zhou was still an elder and it was not good for him to talk back to her too directly. He turned to look at Xia Xing, wanting to know how Xia Xing felt about this matter. However, he did not expect Xia Xing to look at Qiao Mei as if she was his enemy!

“Really? Why did I hear that this is the house which Third Uncle gave to Xia Xing? Doesn’t that mean it’s the Xia family’s a.s.set? When did the Zhou family buy it from us? Why haven’t we heard anything about such an important matter?” Qiao Mei asked.

Old Madam Zhou smacked the table and shouted, “This is my grandson’s house! Who do you think you are!”

“Old Madam Zhou, we’re here to celebrate the festive season with my younger cousin, Xia Xing. We’re not here to get reprimanded by your Zhou family.” Xia Wen emphasized the words “my younger cousin”. As for whether Xia Xing was willing to respect this relations.h.i.+p, that was up to Xia Xing.

“I want to ask both of you. Did you send that woman named Tang Hui to my father!” Xia Xing said as he stared at Qiao Mei.

“Send? She’s a living person and not an object. How can I send her to Third Uncle? Besides, even if I send her to him, it’s up to him whether he wants to accept her,” Qiao Mei said.

“So you’re admitting that you’re the culprit!” Xia Xing said.

“I met her for the first time when Third Uncle first brought her home. We have never interacted previously. If you don’t believe me, you can always go and do a check. That person has a good temper and a nice personality. I’ve always been able to get along with people who are polite and civilized,” Qiao Mei said sarcastically.

Everyone present knew what she was driving at. She was just short of saying that the Zhou family members were all boorish and extremely rude people. In particular, Zhou Hua was a real shrew!

When Old Madam Zhou thought about how her two daughters had lost to Qiao Mei, she could not control her anger. She picked up the hot water bottle next to her and threw it at Qiao Mei. As they were very near to each other, Qiao Mei could not dodge in time, so she instinctively s.h.i.+elded her face with her arm. Xia Wen made a swift decision to stand in front of Qiao Mei.

The good thing was that the water in the bottle had already cooled down, so Xia Wen was not scalded. However, the broken pieces from the smashed bottle nicked Xia Wen’s arm and the back of his hand. Blood started dripping from his fingertips onto the floor.

“Eldest Brother!” Qiao Mei exclaimed.

“I’m fine. These are just superficial wounds,” Xia Wen said after taking a look at his arm.

Old Madam Zhou was too old, so they could not do anything to her. Qiao Mei raised her hand and gave Xia Xing a slap, causing his face to swell up instantly. She said furiously, “Do you even see us as your family members! You can still look on so indifferently even when Eldest Brother is being bullied!”

“Qiao Mei, forget it. Let’s go,” Xia Wen said as he looked at Xia Xing in disappointment.

All this while, he had spent so much time and effort on Xia Xing. He was the one who helped Xia Xing to secure his current job and this house. In the past, when Xia Xing’s results were poor, Xia Wen would tutor Xia Xing at night while still attending school in the morning. When Xia Xing was bullied by hooligans, he went and taught those hooligans a lesson. He cared for Xia Xing like how he cared for Xia Zhe. He did not know when Xia Xing had become like this.

Qiao Mei supported Xia Wen and they were about to leave when Zhou Hua suddenly returned. When she saw Qiao Mei, she looked as if she had been possessed by a ghost. She immediately rushed towards Qiao Mei and wanted to pick a fight, so Xia Wen kicked her aside. She had not recovered from her old injuries and this kick made her feel worse. Her face was pale as she fell on the floor and she could not move.

“a.s.sholes! You’re all a.s.sholes! It’s one thing for you people to bully me outside Tang Hui’s house! But now you even bully me at my house! Do you think the Xia family is that powerful in the capital?” Zhou Hua said aggrievedly.
