Chapter 9: Who Doesn’t Know How To Act Pitiful?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wasn’t this what Chen Lian was best at?
Xia Ye’s grades were better than Xia Wan’s, so Chen Lian often told Li Jin how promising her two children were. It was also because Xia Ye had helped Li Jin gain a reputation, and she had also buttered her up very well, so Li Jin had always been biased toward her family.
But now, Xia Wan actually used her usual tactic to make herself look pitiful and call Xia Yu the culprit.
“Wanwan, you can’t just say that. How did it become our Xia Yu bullying you? He has always been an honest person! How could he do something like that!”
Xia Wan’s emotions were at their peak, and she cried naturally. Her tears continued to flow, and Xia Chen’s heart ached for her. He wanted to kick Xia Yu again.
Xia Wan continued, “Second Aunt, I was very weak after I fell into the river. There was no food at home, so I went to go to the mountains to see if there was anything to eat. But there’s nothing on the mountains now, so I only brought back some wild grass.
“But as soon as I returned to my room, I saw a man. I was so scared that I thought there was a thief and that someone had come to steal my things.
“However, when I saw that it was Xia Yu, I asked him what he was doing there. In the end, he said that I was sick, so there had to be good food around. He wanted to take my food away because he wanted to eat more.
“But Second Aunt, I’m still unwell. I’m feeling very uncomfortable. I didn’t get any food, yet he came here to snatch it from me. Second Aunt, what did I do to offend you? It’s fine that no one thought about treating my illness, but now, do I not even deserve food?”
Xia Wan’s questioning made Chen Lian lose face.
She understood Xia Yu and knew that Xia Wan was telling the truth. However, she could not admit that it was Xia Yu’s fault in front of everyone.
She immediately smiled and said, “Wanwan, this is probably a misunderstanding. Your brother is still growing, so he eats a lot. Didn’t Yan Han ask for eggs from me today? He must have thought you had extra eggs, so he came to ask.”
“Second Aunt, don’t you know if Grandma even gave me any eggs?” Xia Wan sneered.
Xia Wan then looked at Li Jin. “Grandma, did you give me any eggs?”
Li Jin’s expression became a little unnatural. Of course, she hadn’t given her any eggs. It was just falling into the water, and it wasn’t a big deal. Why did she need to eat eggs? Just drinking some warm water would do the trick.
However, Xia Wan’s attitude made Li Jin very unhappy. She questioned her in front of so many juniors, making her lose face as an elder.
“I already said that I don’t have any extra eggs. It’s not like I don’t want to give you any. I also don’t have anywhere else I could get those for you,” Li Jin said impatiently, but she admitted that she didn’t give Xia Wan any eggs.
Xia Wan looked at Xia Yu. “You heard that, right? Grandma didn’t give me any eggs at all. This is your fault. If you didn’t come to my place to look for food, I wouldn’t have thought that there was a thief. As for the fight with my brother, you were the one who started it.
“You did something wrong, yet you still hit me. You got injured because you were too weak and couldn’t win.
“Just because you’re injured, does that mean my brother is in the wrong? Alright, then I’ll bang my head against the wall right now, so the public will know that you forced me to do this!”
As she spoke, Xia Wan really did hit her head against the wall. Xia Chen reacted quickly and immediately pulled Xia Wan back. His face was full of love. “Wanwan, don’t be afraid. I’m here. No one can bully you!”
Chen Lian and Li Jin were dumbfounded.
They had only said a few words to her. How did she end up hitting the wall?
If something really happened to Xia Wan today, their family’s reputation would be completely ruined.
Li Jin, too, was a little scared. She felt that Xia Wan had changed since she was rescued.
In the past, Xia Wan would, at most, throw a tantrum in front of Xia Hai and Yan Han. Now, she dared to rebuke her in front of so many, and even threatened her with death.
However, she was really afraid. Xia Wan had become too ruthless now.
At that moment, the voices of three people could be heard from outside the door. The three men from the Xia family had returned.
“Mother, why are you all in our room? What are you talking about?” Xia Wan’s father, Xia Hai, asked with a smile. He had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
When he entered the house, he realized that his two children were standing together, and Xia Wan was still crying.
“Wanwan, what’s going on?”
Chen Lian’s husband, Xia He, was also standing beside her. Seeing Xia Yu’s miserable state, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with Xia Yu? Who did this?”
