Chapter 1470 A Dog Biting Someone
Bai Dian was still thinking about how to pick a fight with Li Hua. She did not expect Li Hua to be the one to start the ball rolling.
"Am I talking about you? Why are you getting so angry here? You're really very nosy!" Li Hua said impatiently.
"Let me ask you! Were you the one who tripped me backstage just now!" Bai Dian stood in front of Li Hua and interrogated her.
When Xiao Nan saw that they were arguing, she threw the things in her hand to one side and came to be Bai Dian's back up. With her hands on her hips, she said, "That's right! I saw everything! Don't you dare to deny it!"
"What did you see? What right do you have to slander me? You have to show evidence if you want to say this! If you frame me like this, I'll tell the troupe leader!" Li Hua said.
"If you think you can do it, then go ahead! Let's see who the troupe leader will side with! We usually don't see you when it's time to practice our basic skills. Now that you're not selected to go on stage, you become jealous of us! You actually want to get me in trouble! Other than that, you're also spreading rumors about Senior Xia He! I must rip your tongue out today!" After saying that, Bai Dian rushed forward and started fighting with Li Hua.
Xiao Nan also got involved in the fight. While Song Dan was distracted by the fight, Xia He took the chance to slip away. She got on her bicycle and raced home. Along the way, no matter who called out to her, she did not respond. She just wanted to reach home quickly.
"Qiao Mei! Oh my goodness! Qiao Mei! Come out quickly!" Xia He shouted as she rushed into the courtyard in a panic.
Qiao Mei and Xia Wen hurriedly rushed out of the study. Xia Wen was very agitated and went forward to grab hold of Xia He and took a look at her a few times. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no injuries on Xia He's body.
"Why are you so flustered? Did you get bitten by a dog?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.
"What a guess! When have I ever been afraid of dogs! Of course it's because!" Xia He wanted to complain about Song Dan, but as she calmed down, she realized that Xia Wen was staring at her seriously to hear her out. She immediately forgot about what she wanted to say.
"Say it. Of course it's because of what?" Xia Wen asked anxiously.
Xia He stammered, "Well… it's… that… actually… of course… of course it's because I performed too well! Everyone likes my performance very much! They all praised me! They even wanted to treat me to a meal! It was so difficult for me to get home!"
Xia Wen did not believe Xia He at all. If the audience were to witness her lousy acting skills now, they would not believe that the person who performed on stage just now was Xia He.
"So the two of you are teaming up to hide things from me nowadays. Xia He, so you think you're so capable now. After that you're all grown up, you don't tell me anything anymore. You even start to hide things from me now?" Xia Wen questioned angrily.
When she was young, Xia He liked to tail Xia Wen everywhere and find all kinds of problems for him to solve every day. Even though Xia Mao was Xia He's father, it was Xia Wen who seemed more like Xia He's "father"!
When they were young, Xia Wen was even the one who attended her parent-teacher meeting. It was something that everyone tacitly agreed to.
"It's not like that… I just feel that Eldest Brother is very busy. I'm all grown up now, so I shouldn't trouble you with such a small matter…" Xia He whispered.
Xia Wen stared at Xia He for a long time before sighing deeply and saying, "It's true that I've been too busy with work these past few years and didn't pay attention to you and Xia Zhe at all. It's my fault, not yours. But you have to remember that I'm still your eldest brother. No matter what happens, I'll definitely protect you."
Ever since Xia He got divorced, whenever Xia Wen thought of this matter, he would feel that it was his fault. If he had paid more attention to Xia He at that time, perhaps Xia He's marriage would not have ended in such a manner.
"Eldest Brother, I'm not doing this on purpose…" Xia He said, feeling touched.
"Alright, alright! Are the two of you intending to feed the mosquitoes outside? Quick, come in. I already have two or three mosquito bites!" Qiao Mei pouted and said unhappily.
Xia He immediately stopped feeling so melancholic. How could there be mosquitoes in this weather? Qiao Mei was only teasing them. Xia He hugged the two of them and walked back to the study with them. She told Xia Wen about everything that had happened during this period of time. From time to time, Qiao Mei would add fuel to the fire and spout some nonsense and Xia He did not stop her.
