After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 169 - : The Cousin’s Angry Rebuttal
Chapter 169 -169: The Cousin’s Angry Rebuttal
Zhao Xiaogui refused to be outdone and jumped out, neck craned, saying, “I’m her support too! Hmph, whoever dares to bully my sister, be it man or woman, mother-in-law or own mother, I’ll beat them all the same!”
“You blockhead!” Grandma Xia was itching with anger at being sabotaged by her own people and cursed Xia Chengzong.
Then, turning to point at Zhao Xiaogui, she said, “You kids, not heeding the words of elders, will suffer for it right before your eyes!”
Zhao Xiaogui certainly didn’t give Grandma Xia any face and snorted, then continued, “I think it’s by listening to you that one suffers right before their eyes! You old woman, don’t think I don’t know what you are scheming!”
“All you’re after is my sister’s booming business, trying to take advantage of her, wanting my sister’s shop?”
“Ptui! Look in a puddle at your own worthiness, does the Xia Family have the gall to demand the shop after treating my sister like that?”
“Got the nerve to start your own business with your own money? Oh wait, that’s wrong, your family is just plain bad through and through. Even if you start a business, the heavens definitely won’t bless it!”
“It’s bound to be loss after loss until you’re ruined!”
“You, you, you… Aiyo, poor old me is being bullied.” Grandma Xia clutched at her chest and intentionally fell onto Aunt Xia, crying and wailing as if her life depended on it.
Xia Chuyi gave Zhao Xiaogui a warning glance from the side; once this kid got going, he was unstoppable, although she admittedly found his rant rather pleasing.
Of course, she still had to put on an act on the surface.
“Oh dear, Xiao Gui really is something! So thoughtless, what is he saying?” Xia Chuyi scolded her cousin, then put on a look of concern and said to Grandma Xia, “Grandma, Xiao Gui is still a child, you as an adult are magnanimous, so you won’t hold it against him, right?”
Having said that, she switched to a look of anger and said to Aunt Xia, “Elder aunt, why can’t you see what’s happening! Can’t you see that grandma is about to faint? Hurry and help her into the car to go home! No, better yet, take her to the hospital. Spend some money, get some shots, maybe she’ll feel better.”
“Huh?” Aunt Xia was utterly confused.
“Elder brother!” Xia Chuyi glanced at Xia Chengzong, “Come on, help. Take grandma to the hospital! What if something terrible happened?”
As soon as the words fell.
“You!” Grandma Xia pointed at her, too angry to speak.
Xia Chengzong’s face had turned so dark it was hard to look at, but he responded and stepped forward to carry the two away.
“I’ll take you back.”
Saying this, he directly ushered the people out.
Before the two realized what was happening, they were already out of the shop.
“Chengzong, what are you doing, let go of Mom!”
“You fool, what are you up to?”
Both of them cursed in a breath, but Xia Chengzong didn’t listen.
It was only when passersby began to point and stare that the two, unable to save face, finally swallowed their words and were reluctantly led away by Xia Chengzong.
“Have to say, Xia Chengzong is actually quite useful!” After the people left and the shop quieted down, Zhao Xiaogui stretched his neck and said.
Useful? Xia Chuyi shook her head.
Useful was an understatement.
When Xia Chengzong acted fierce, even the people of the Xia Family had to be wary of him.
But, he was also emotional and still showed sentiment towards his elders.
It was not until evening that Xia Chengzong returned to the shop, with a darker mood and a glum expression.

“I’m sorry.” As he entered, he apologized to her.
Xia Chuyi knew what he meant and responded lightly, “This matter has nothing to do with you.”
His apology couldn’t represent the people of the Xia Family.
“Let’s not talk about it, elder brother, have you eaten? There’s leftover food in the kitchen.” Xia Chuyi said with an even tone.
Xia Chengzong looked at her, his guilt deepening.
