Chapter 1814: Keeping the Child but Not the Mother
The Shao family obviously did not want this kind of resolution. They had come to become in-laws of the Xia family. Xia Guang and Xia Xing were nothing if they left the Xia family. The Shao family’s efforts would be in vain if there were no riches waiting for them at the end of this ruckus.
“No way! Your family has to give our family an explanation today! No one can take a step out of this door! Where are you trying to send us! We will still talk to you nicely here, but if we go out, there’s no telling what we might say!’ Shao Zhuang pointed at Xia Jun and shouted agitatedly.
Xia He immediately stood up and scolded him loudly, “Show some respect to my grandfather! Otherwise, I’ll get the guards to chase all of you out! Our Xia family has already split up! This is my family’s territory! Don’t even try to threaten us!”
“Father! You can’t leave me to my own devices! I’m also your son! How can you give up on me?” Xia Guang asked sadly.
“Why do I have to clean up the mess caused by your son? Just because you’re a useless father, do you intend to drag down my other sons? Will you only stop when you drag down my other grandchildren?” Xia Jun said as he looked at Xia Guang angrily.
“Father! You can’t be so heartless! I’m your biological son! For my mother’s sake! Please save me! My mother definitely won’t want to see me like this!” Xia Guang shouted agitatedly.
Xia Jun choked up when he heard the mention of Wu Min. If Wu Min saw Xia Guang now, he wondered if she would blame him for not taking good care of their son.
Xia Mao and Xia Yao looked at Xia Guang furiously. How could he have the cheek to mention their mother? Back then, Wu Min doted on Xia Guang the most. It was also because of Xia Guang that Wu Niin fell sick and passed away so early.
“Alright… I’ll help you, but this will be the last time. From now on, you’ll have nothing to do with the Xia family and don’t come back during the festive seasons,” Xia Jun said resignedly. He turned to look at Shao Zhuang and asked, “Just tell us what your family wants. Don’t beat around the bush with
LIS! „
“What we want is very simple. Buy a matrimonial home for our Shao Yin and let the two children get married with a lavish banquet!” Shao Zhuang said.
Qiao Mei looked at Shao Zhuang in surprise. She did not expect the Shao family to have so few requests this time. It seemed that they also felt guilty and knew that there was an issue with this child.
The Shao family was smart enough this time round. As long as Shao Yin got married to Xia Xing, she was set for life. After that, what could Xia Xing deny her in the future? The Shao family was just the second Tan family.
“Is that all you want?” Qiao Mei questioned.
“That’s right, that’s all. We want the entire city to know that Shao Yin has married Xia Xing!” Shao Zhuang said through gritted teeth.
Qiao Mei nodded in understanding. She turned to look at Xia Xing and asked,
“What do you think? After all, it’s your marriage. You can voice your opinion.” Xia Xing looked at the other Xia family members helplessly and then at the child in Shao Yin’s arms. The confused look in his eyes gradually cleared up and he said firmly, “l don’t want to marry you! I will never marry you! Your family can give up on this thought!’
Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Xia Xing was not totally hopeless yet. Xia Jun also saw Xia Xing in a different light. He had originally wanted to make the decision to let Shao Yin marry Xia Xing. Anyway, Xia Guangs family was already in a mess, so he might as well throw one more thing into the chaos and let his disappointing son suffer a bit more.
However, the person getting married was Xia Xing, not Xia Guang. He still could not bear to lay his hands on this grandson of his. He did not expect Xia Xing to have the backbone to stand up to the Shao family.
“What did you say! This is your son! You don’t want your son?” Shao Yin looked at Xia Xing in disbelief.
Xia Xing retorted, “l just don’t want to marry you, but I’m not saying that I don’t want this child. Marrying you and wanting this child are two different things.”
“What do you mean? You want to keep the child but not the mother? How do you expect my daughter to face the world in the future! My daughter was an innocent girl when she met you. How do you expect her to get married now! ” Shao Zhuang roared furiously.
“That’s something for your family to think about. Either you leave the child behind and we won’t see each other again, or you go back to where you came from! Don’t go around saying that you are related to my family in the future!”
Xia Xing said firmly..
