Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After hearing the whole story, Xia Ru became angrier.
Her marriage with Lu Lin had failed, and now her family was in prison. How could Xia Wan be so smug?
She rushed out to look for Xia Wan.
The two bodyguards quickly stopped her. “Miss Xia, where are you going?”
Xia Ru glared at them. “My family is in prison. I’ll go and settle the score with the culprit, alright? What right do you have to stop me?”
The security guard spoke in a business-like manner. “Our instructions are to escort you home. Please enter the house now so that we can report back.”
Xia Ru was so angry that she twitched and scolded, “Why are you guys so rigid? Why do you insist on sending me home just because Mrs. Lu asked you to? I’m already at my doorstep, but I can’t be left alone?”
The security guard was expressionless, but he still refused. “Yes.”
Xia Ru was furious, but there was nothing she could do about these two people. Hence, she could only remove the key from the haystack beside her and open the door. Only after confirming that she had entered the house did the two bodyguards leave.
After they left, Xia Ru immediately stormed into the town.
She went straight to Xia Wan’s stall. It was already noon. Xia Wan and the others had sold most of their stock and were about to go for lunch.
With hands on her hips, Xia Ru barricaded Xia Wan’s stall.
“Xia Wan, you’re so cruel! You’re even willing to send your own grandmother to prison. What kind of granddaughter are you? Aren’t you afraid of the retribution you’ll receive for being so unfilial?”
Xia Ru deliberately shouted at the top of her voice to attract the attention of the people around her.
Xia Wan was folding her clothes, but when she saw Xia Ru’s stance, she put her clothes down and stood in front of Xia Ru to confront her.
Xia Wan snorted coldly. “Oh, you’re back. Why? You were rushing to marry a rich young master from a big city, but he didn’t take a fancy to you. Are you here to find trouble with me?”
She wasn’t about to be led astray by Xia Ru and be labeled as unfilial. She would then go on to label her as a seductress.
Being unfilial was bad in this era, but being a seductress was even more despicable.
When the people who were shopping saw that there was a commotion there, they stopped in their tracks and whispered something. Their gazes occasionally landed on Xia Wan and Xia Ru.
Xia Ru did not have a high tolerance like Xia Wan. Her face was a little red as she anxiously explained, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. I didn’t go looking for man at all.
“On the other hand, I only went out for two days, and she actually sent her biological grandmother and uncle to prison. She used the money she earned from selling clothes to live in a big house. Xia Wan, how can you be so cruel?
Grandma was so good to you and paid for your studies. Is this how you repay Grandma now?”
“Everyone, come and take a look. Such a heartless person is unfit to do business here!”
Xia Ru shouted, trying her best to encourage the people around her to help he condemn Xia Wan.
A nosy lady saw happened to see what happened and was quick to criticize Xia Wan. “Child, how can you treat your relatives like this? They are the ones who raised you. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?
“That’s right. I’ve come here many times to buy clothes before. I didn’t expect this young lady to choose such beautiful clothes, but her personality is actuall like this. She even treats her own family so cruelly, let alone others.”
“That’s right. Tell us the truth. Is there a problem with the quality of the clothes you sold us?”
“I have to hurry up and tell my friends to return the clothes I bought from her.”
The surrounding crowd believed Xia Ru’s words and thought Xia Wan was heartless. They were now all clamoring to return the clothes they bought from Xia Wan’s stall.
Xia Chen and Xia Feng were very anxious when they saw everyone attacking them.
Xia Chen shouted, “Hey! Don’t talk about my sister like that. Our clothes were carefully selected and are of far better quality than those sold in other stalls. Moreover, there’s a secret behind this. You don’t know what we’ve been through at all. How can you talk about my sister like that?”
Xia Feng also stood in front of Xia Wan. “My sister is not that kind of person. Don’t believe Xia Ru. She deliberately said bad things about my sister. It was clearly Grandma and the others who did something overboard. It’s completely not my sister’s fault..”
