Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Encountered Obstruction 6_1

"Lanzi, I..." Xia Jiehao despondently ruffled his hair, just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Mrs. Xia.

"You don’t need to explain," Mrs. Xia closed her eyes briefly, then reopened them, sighing deeply and looking utterly exhausted, "You don’t need to explain, I understand your difficulties. Go back, I won’t take my anger out on you for this."

"Eh!" The more understanding she was, the heavier the guilt weighed on Xia Jiehao. He placed his hands on her shoulders, insisting, "Lanzi, don’t take it to heart, I will definitely teach Shufang a lesson and make her come to apologize to you in person."

"No, I can’t bear it," Mrs. Xia quickly waved her hands, indicating she didn’t need that.

She was already thankful enough that Xia Shufang would stop causing her trouble.

"Alright, you better go back. I’m taking Bao’er and leaving this place of trouble," Mrs. Xia shook off his hand, leading Xia Ningxing away from the contentious spot.

After they left, Xia Jiehao, no longer able to contain his frustration, stormed back into the house and pointed at her, "Xia Shufang, have you had enough trouble now? Now that they’ve left and you’ve gotten your way, put the damn knife down."

"Brother... I, I just think that woman, as a divorced woman, is simply not worthy of you; my best friend, she..." Only then did Xia Shufang willingly put down the knife, her eyes brimming with a triumphant smile.

How could Lin Lan, a divorced woman, be worthy of her handsome, dashing, and wealthy big brother!

"Shut up."

Xia Jiehao cut off her words, extremely annoyed.

If it were anyone else spouting nonsense, he would’ve beaten them to the hospital by now, but this was his own little sister, pampered since childhood. What could he do!

"Father, Mother, please talk to Brother. If he really marries Lin Lan, your daughter will just... I won’t live anymore!" Seeing she couldn’t persuade him, Xia Shufang could only turn to her parents, crying and pleading for help.

"Shufang, don’t cry first." The Father and Mother of the Xia Family favored their youngest daughter the most, and now they could only soothe her, giving Xia Jiehao a look, "Haozi, maybe you should postpone your marriage to Lin Lan."

"Impossible!"

Xia Jiehao rejected the idea without a second thought.

"Then I’ll just not eat and starve myself to death for you to see!" Xia Shufang started to make a scene again.

...

Xia Ningxing and Mrs. Xia silently made their way back home.

The five brothers who had been anxiously waiting outside for news looked puzzled as they saw the upset expressions on their faces.

Immediately after, the brothers cautiously inquired, "Mom, sis, what happened to you?"

"What’s going on?" Lu Tingli, hearing the commotion next door, also came out, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the mother and daughter.

Wasn’t it meant to be a discussion about the marriage? Why do they look so unhappy?

Mrs. Xia said nothing, holding back the embarrassment she’d faced, her eyes red as she went straight into the house.

Now everyone could only turn their gaze to Xia Ningxing.

"Lu, and my brothers, you don’t know, Xia’s younger sister was too much to bear!" Xia Ningxing ran to his side, pouting her lips as if she bore the gravest grievances, huffily recounting the events that had just transpired.

Upon hearing this, the brothers clenched their fists in anger, "That’s too much."

"Exactly, what sister meddles in her brother’s marriage!"

"A bad woman!"

"Daring to look down on our mom, how despicable!"

Compared to the brothers’ rage, Lu Tingli looked contemplative, seizing the key point, "You mean, your future step-dad’s sister wants her best friend to marry him?"

"That’s right!" Xia Ningxing nodded.
