After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1224 At Loggerheads

Shao Yin hid in a corner and kept quiet. Xia Xing was so excited to see his two younger brothers that he left her on her own. That was nothing she could do except to get some food and eat by herself in the corner. No one paid any attention to her since Xia Xing did not formally introduce her.

She did not expect to bump into a man like Xia Wen in this place. He looked so refined and elegant, like a young master from a novel who had come to life. Shao Yin’s eyes sparkled and she looked like she wanted to pounce on him immediately.

“Your child must be very blessed too! You must be a very good father! How old is your child this year?” Shao Yin walked to Xia Wen’s side and asked anxiously.

The people standing around felt a little awkward and the smiles on everyone’s faces froze. Zhou Luo snorted coldly at one side. People who did not know how to read the situation would always do things which embarrassed themselves.

Xia Wen did not show any emotions. The corners of his mouth remained curled up, as if he did not take anything which Shao Yin said to heart.

“I’m divorced,” Xia Wen said in a gentle manner. With that, he carried Xia Xing back into the room.

Only then did Shao Yin realize that she had said something wrong. She just thought that every man here was either married or attached. Moreover, before she came, Xia Xing had told her that his eldest uncle’s three children were all married. He had never mentioned anything about any of them being divorced. She had thought that Xia Wen’s wife was not here because she was preoccupied.

“I didn’t do it on purpose…” Shao Yin whispered.

“It’s fine. This is something that we don’t even know about. Your eldest uncle and eldest aunt-in-law won’t blame you. Xiao Wen probably doesn’t want to make a big fuss about it as well. It’s not like anyone can blame our Shao Yin for this,” Zhou Luo said as she looked at Xu Lan. On the surface, it seemed like she was helping Shao Yin and giving her a way out, but in reality, she was using Shao Yin as a needle to poke at the Xia family’s eldest son.

Her purpose for being here today was to avenge her younger sister, Zhou Hua. Although her younger sister did not take care of the children after giving birth to them, she had been loyal to the Xia family. Xia Guang was posted out of town for so many years, but she never thought of leaving him. She waited for Xia Guang for so many years and also gave him three sons, in turn contributing to the extension of the Xia family’s bloodline, so she had already done well!

Did they still expect Zhou Hua to wait on this big family like Liu Fen? It was none of their Zhou family’s business if Liu Fen was willing to degrade herself this way, but if the Xia family wanted her younger sister to wait on the Xia family as well, they could dream on!

“What are you saying? You’re still young and don’t know anything about what’s going on. We won’t blame you. It’s probably because your elders haven’t made it clear to you. It’s not your fault,” Xu Lan said gently to Shao Yin as she pretended to hold her hand affectionately.

Shao Yin did not know how to read between the lines and thought that Xu Lan had really forgiven her! She was so touched that she almost cried. Zhou Luo rolled her eyes helplessly and turned her head away.

At this moment, Xia Xing was still chatting with his two younger brothers. Xia Lu and Xia Yan were promising youngsters who had both gained admission into the same university, one of the top few in the country. Their future prospects would definitely be bright.

The two of them had always lived in Zhou Luo’s house and had been brought up by Zhou Luo since they were young. Xia Xing had at least stayed with Zhou Hua for a period of time, but Xia Lu and Xia Yan were entirely brought up by the Zhou family.

In the past, Xia Jun had intended to bring these two children back so that they could grow up in the Xia family, but the Zhou family had refused to let them go. Moreover, Zhou Hua kept a tight grip over the three children. Even if she could not be the one to bring them up, she would not allow the Xia family to do it. Therefore, the Xia family’s attitude towards Zhou Luo was also quite nuanced. Xia Jun had previously instructed that as long as Zhou Luo needed help, the Xia family should help her without any hesitation.

Zhou Luo had found out a long time ago that she was infertile, but her current husband treated her very well. Her husband was a nice man and did not care about the matter of children at all. They had been very loving all these years, so Zhou Luo had long treated these three children as her own biological children.

Over the years, she had spent a lot of money and effort on these three children and had never asked the Xia family for help. Even when Zhou Luo was so poor that she could not afford to eat, she still managed to find a way to take care of the three children.

The three children also worked hard and did well. Each one was more hardworking and diligent than the last. They were even a hundred times more outstanding than the two sons from the Xia family’s second son! Zhou Luo’s neighbors all said that she was blessed with good fortune. The three children not only gave in to Zhou Hua all the time, they were also very obedient and always did whatever she said.

Xia You secretly tugged at the corner of Xia Wan’s clothes and said, “Elder Sister, look at how silly that girl is. Where did Brother Xing find such a person?”
