Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Xia Shufang Protects the Shortcomings_1

Mrs. Xia crawled over to Ningxing, crying. Tears and anger mixed as she exclaimed, "You silly girl, why would you attempt suicide?"

"If you were gone, how would your father and I go on living!"

"Xia Shufang, you are incredibly selfish! If you want to die, go ahead, but did you ever consider your father and me!" Old Mr. Xia clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes filled with indescribable heartache.

"Father, Mother, your daughter has been unfilial. I’ve let you down. I was just too heartbroken to accept that my best friend and boyfriend...," Xia Shufang sobbed as she threw herself into her elderly parents’ embrace.

In fact, the moment she hung herself, she regretted it—deeply so.

But it was too late then.

Thankfully, in the end, it turned out to be not too late.

"But now, I understand that suicide is an act of cowardice; it only delights enemies and causes pain to loved ones. From now on, I will be strong and never do such a foolish thing again," Xia Shufang assured them, wiping away her tears.

Finally, Father and Mother Xia could rest easy, and Mrs. Xia held onto her, sharing many heartfelt words.

"Mother, I do understand my mistake. Please don’t scold me anymore. Let’s instead discuss my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding arrangements," Xia Shufang, her ears sore from the reprimanding, quickly changed the subject.

Mrs. Xia and Xia Jiehao blushed upon hearing this, their gazes shifting nervously around.

Yet their cheeks were filled with a content smile.

Eventually, the wedding was set for the warm month of June, providing a chance to wear a bridal gown and enough time for preparation.

Originally, Mrs. Xia wanted just a simple ceremony, but Xia Jiehao wouldn’t hear of it—he insisted on having everything just as grand as a first wedding.

When the neighbors heard the Xia family was marrying off their son to a divorcee, they scoffed.

"Have the Xias gone mad? With such a catch as your son, why not marry a fresh maiden rather than a divorcee?"

"Exactly, have you lost your minds?"

"And I heard that this divorced woman comes with six kids in tow!"

"My dear lord, six kids... you’re going to let all of them into the household?"

"I hear they’re all coming into the home."

"The Xias have really gone mad to agree to raise someone else’s many children."

Hearing this, Father and Mother Xia were fuming, their faces turning crimson. "It’s none of your business. Whoever my son wants to marry, he will marry!"

They were never good with words and could never argue against these people.

At that moment, Xia Shufang walked up with Mrs. Xia and Ningxing.

They were out buying things to decorate the newlyweds’ room.

Xia Shufang, her anger apparent, strode forward, put her hands on her waist, and glared at the gossiping crowd. "Shut up, all of you! Do you have any idea how good my sister-in-law is? What’s wrong with being a divorcee? Do you think we’re still living in a feudal dynasty?"

After spending some time together, Xia Shufang realized that Mrs. Xia was nothing like the woman she had imagined. She was soft and gentle, yet also strong and wise.

If it weren’t for her constant guidance, she might still be trapped in the heartbreak of her betrayal.

She had long since come to regard her as her own family. Now, seeing her family insulted, she couldn’t stand idly by.

"As for my sister-in-law’s children, do you have any idea how outstanding they are? All six kids rank in the top ten in their grades, especially my little niece here, who always scores full marks. She’s been the number one in her grade every year, piling up awards and destined to become a champion!"

Xia Shufang hugged Ningxing proudly, her chin held high as though Ningxing were her own daughter.

Ningxing: "..."

It seemed her new aunt had really changed a lot.
