Chapter 1415 Getting Bitten by a Dog
"Did you check properly? Don't get the facts wrong!" Huang Ning asked suspiciously.
"Hmph, even if I'm blind, I can still tell who's from the Xia family and who's from the Shao family!" Xu Kang said angrily.
Even if she did not come and work as a helper in the Xia family, she was still Xu Lan's relative. How could she not be able to recognize Xu Lan's child? What a joke!
"It seems that your Shao family members don't have the kind of sleeping habits that you mentioned. In that case, who took off Shao Xian's clothes? Shao Xian was already drunk at that time. Could it be that he took off his clothes himself? Then that would mean he knew what he was doing at that time!" Xia He said in surprise.
If she made it sound like Shao Xian was still conscious when he went into the room, then it would seem like a sure bet that Shao Xian had designs on Shao Yin. If Shao Xian was drunk and unconscious at that time, then it would be someone else's fault and could not have anything to do with Shao Xian.
"Nonsense! My son was so drunk that he was already in a blur! How could he be conscious enough to do such things!" Huang Ning said.
"Then… it would be Shao Yin who took off his clothes," Xia He said immediately.
The women from the Shao family all started talking at once. Shao Chun spoke up for Shao Yin of course. After all, it would only be beneficial for her if Shao Yin married into the Xia family. As for Huang Ning, she definitely wanted to protect her own son, Shao Xian. Even if their family could not get any benefits in the future, she must at least protect Shao Xian's reputation!
He still had to get married at some point in the future! If it became known that something like this had happened between him and his cousin, no nice girl would want to marry him!
Bian Duo, on the other hand, behaved strangely. She did not speak up to defend Shao Yin at all. Instead, she looked very nervous. It was as if she was worried that she might say the wrong thing if posed with a difficult question.
Did they not say that Bian Duo doted on her daughter the most? Then why was it that she did not seem to care about Shao Yin when Shao Yin was in trouble?
"Shut up, all of you!" Shao Zhuang suddenly barged into the room and pointed at the Xia family members as he shouted, "This is your Xia family's scheme! All of this is part of your plan! We're the ones who fell into your trap!"
Xu Lan frowned and looked at Shao Zhuang who was standing at the door. This was a room full of women arguing with each other and there was no reason for a man to barge in here. Moreover, the men from her family were all drunk. Xia Wen and Xia Xing were in a drunken slumber at the moment and could not be awoken at all.
How could they, being the womenfolk, be the ones to talk to Shao Zhuang about this? If things got physical, they would be at a disadvantage. This matter was no longer something that they could handle. They had to ask the other men of the Xia family to come back and discuss this matter together.
Qiao Mei gave Xia He a gentle pat and asked her to secretly go out to get reinforcements. She would take care of the matters in the house until the actual head of the Xia family got here.
Xia He immediately went to the entrance of the alley to make phone calls to Xia Jun, Xia Mao and Xia Guang. Xia Yao was not in the capital now and his children were all busy with their own matters, so she did not disturb them. This whole issue had nothing to do with the second son's family anyway.
"Alright, let's not argue here. If you want to talk, then let's talk in the front hall," Qiao Mei said.
Everyone arrived at the front hall one after another. Shao Xian was still sleeping and could not be awoken at all, so they let him be. Even if he was awake, what he said might not be the truth. Qiao Mei gave Shao Yin some time to get dressed and look presentable before coming to the front hall. It was inappropriate for her to be so scantily dressed.
The women of the Shao family seemed less desperate than before. The moment Shao Zhuang appeared, all of them suddenly seemed remotivated. It was as if Shao Zhuang could change the fate of their family. That was simply a pipe dream!
"Since you say that the Xia family is responsible for all this, then where is your evidence?" Qiao Mei asked.
Shao Zhuang looked at Qiao Mei mockingly and said, "Does the Xia family even have family rules in place? How dare a small-fry like you talk to me? I'll wait for Old Master Xia to arrive. Otherwise, I won't speak."
Xia He was so angry that she almost went forward to beat him up. Qiao Mei quickly held on to Xia He and said, "Calm down. Why are you so angry?"
"Didn't you hear what he said about you? I really can't take this lying down!" Xia He said.
"I heard him and I can't be bothered to refute him. Do I have to lower my head and bite a dog back when it bites me? Isn't that the behavior of a fool? Just let it be. There's no need to fuss about it," Qiao Mei said calmly.
