Chapter 2278: Pledge Everlasting Love

The two of them walked towards Zhou Hua hand in hand, leaving Qiao Mei behind. This was the first time she had seen a woman controlling a man’s heart so stealthy. What an expert!
All the guests did not dare to act rashly. It was uncomfortable to be caught within the Xia family’s drama. Although the Xia family had done well in the past few years and life was getting better and better for them, more than half of the Xia family members had gotten divorced and then remarried. So what if they seemed to be doing well on the surface, who knew what kind of life they were living behind the scenes?
Xia Jun sat in the main hall with a cold expression. He did not expect this vicious woman, Zhou Hua, to dare to come and cause trouble! It seemed that he had been too nice!
“What are you doing here!” Xia Guang said sternly.
“I’m here to see what a heartless person like you is up to! Have you forgotten how you pledge everlasting love between us? Have you forgotten what you promised me back then!”
Zhou Hua said a lot of things about the past while Xia Guang stood there silently. Zhou Hua originally wanted to provoke Tang Hui so that Tang Hui would fight with her. This way, Tang Hui’s perfect image in Xia Guang’s heart would be completely destroyed.
Unexpectedly, Tang Hui remained unmoved and even watched everything with a smile on her face. Zhou Hua’s jealous heart completely exploded and she began to say inappropriate things. “Do you still remember? You say that you like my body the most and that I have a very good figure that no other woman has! Can she even satisfy you?”
Xia Guang blushed and scolded angrily, “You’re so shameless! When did I say such things!”
“Don’t try to deny! We even have three children together! It’s not easy for me to bring up three children alone! Yet you divorce me once you come back! You’re inhuman!” Zhou Hua said aggrievedly.
The commotion outside became louder and louder. Xia Jun waved his hand and said, “Go and chase Zhou Hua away and ask Xia Guang to come back inside! Doesn’t he feel any shame! Is he going to let so many guests wait for him? He can afford to embarrass himself, but I can’t!”
“How do we do that? Let’s get Zou Ming to come and deal with it,” Xia He said helplessly.
“I’ve already informed Zou Ming. He’s probably waiting for Zhou Hua to make a move first. There’s nothing he can do if Zhou Hua is just crying. After all, she isn’t even shouting inside the courtyard,” Qiao Mei said.
Xia He looked at Qiao Mei in shock and asked, “How do you know that Zhou Hua will definitely come today!”
“Of course I don’t know! I only took precautions,” Qiao Mei said.
Every blade of grass and every tree in the vicinity was under Qiao Mei’s control. She knew very well who was coming and going in the vicinity. She actually felt a little guilty to say that she did not know anything.
“Go to the kitchen and take a look. It’s already time for the banquet to start. We can’t let all the guests wait indefinitely,” Qiao Mei said as she tugged at the corner of Xia He’s top.
Xia He nodded and left the main hall. Qiao Mei smiled. The real show was about to start. Xia Guang’s wedding was really very lively. Not only was there drama in the front yard, but the backyard was going to see even greater drama.
“Grandfather, Third Uncle knows his limits. He’ll be back soon,” Xia Wen said.
Xia He went to the kitchen. Everyone there was waiting for the host to indicate the start of the banquet. The ingredients used today were all fresh and live ingredients. If they slaughtered the livestock too early, it would not taste as good. They intended to serve the dishes as they cooked. Anyway, there were not many tables and there was enough time to do it this way.
“What’s happening outside? It’s already time and they haven’t even given the speech,” Li Gui said.
“You don’t say. My third uncle’s ex-wife has come to cause trouble. Let’s get ready to serve the dishes. We’ll eat first then do the speech later,” Xia He said.
“Everyone, let’s start!” Li Gui said as she waved her hands.
Xia He observed the people in the surroundings and suddenly realized that there was a woman wearing a headscarf and a mask sneaking around in the corner. She had never seen this person before and did not hear that Li Gui’s restaurant had recruited new staff. Moreover, this person’s figure was starting to look more and more familiar…
“Auntie Li, is that person a new employee?” Xia He asked as she pointed at the woman in the corner.
Li Gui did not have much of an impression of this person. There were too many things to do today and there were many people around, so she could not recall anything immediately. While she was still hesitating, Xia He went forward and held the woman’s shoulder as she asked, “The weather is so hot today, why are you covered up so tightly?”
“I… I have a rash on my face! It’s not nice to look at,” the woman stammered.
Xia He found the woman’s voice to be very familiar. She pulled off the woman’s mask confidently and said, “It’s been a long time, Tan Jing. I didn’t expect to meet you here in such a manner. It’s… such a surprise.”
“How can you tell that it’s me?” Tan Jing asked.
“I’m the principal dancer in the art troupe. One can change one’s appearance and makeup, but it’s more difficult for one to change one’s figure and walking posture,” Xia He explained.
Tan Jing had no intention of leaving this place alive. She had nothing left, so it was not a big deal to fight to the death.
