Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Fierce Deities and Evil Spirits
This ti, the Xia Family who ca to town were Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia, Xia i, and Xia Chengjia.
Just one look at this lineup, and you knew what was going on.
Chuyi hadn’t even approached when she heard Aunt Xia’s loud voice shouting at the entrance, “What happened, who is the damned bastard that smashed the Old Xia Family’s store?”
Look at that, in Aunt Xia’s mouth, the store was already property of the Old Xia Family.
“Chengzong, tell Mom, how big is the loss in the store? Are the repair costs for the doors, windows, and furniture expensive? If it’s expensive, we should talk to Chuyi’s uncle and have her uncle arrange for repairs.”
The “Old Xia Family’s” store, and they want her uncle to do the repairs. They really don’t want to be subtle about their desires.
Chuyi crossed her arms and just stopped in her tracks, standing behind the Xia Family, waiting to see what sort of tricks they would pull.
All she saw was Aunt Xia, clutching her chest, her tone more anguished as if her husband had just died, indignantly cursing, “You thieving scumbags hacking at heads, smashing soone’s store—there will be retribution!”
She was the very image of a righteous avenger.
Hearing this, Chuyi’s eyes curved into crescents, her lips curling in a cold smile.
She still hadn’t moved.
Chengzong’s face was a sickly pale green, clenching his fists, holding back from arguing with his mother—after all, she was his mother.
“Second son, not to criticize you, but you’re really not cut out for work in the store. Look at the people you used to hang out with—all a ssy swarm of no-good delinquents. Seeing the store doing good business, of course they can’t resist the temptation, I’m telling you…” The speaker was Xia i.
Xia i’s visit this ti was obviously targeted at getting a job in the store, so she imdiately pushed the bla onto Chengzong.
“Shut your mouth!” Xia Chengzong was no longer polite to Xia i, roaring with a darkened face.
“You!” Xia i stomped her foot and went to pull on Aunt Xia’s arm, “Mom, look at the second son, all gangster temper! I just say a couple of words, and he’s like so beast ready to eat people!”
“With the kind of people he hangs out with, could there be any good ones? Not to ntion targeting the store because it’s doing good business, but also because there’s only Xia Chu, a stupid girl, in the store, they would…”
Chengzong, furious, stepped forward and pointed at Xia i, “You just try and say one more word!”
Had they forgotten that he was from the Jianghu?
Xia i imdiately hid behind Aunt Xia and didn’t dare to speak anymore, but she glared at him fiercely.
How treacherous! Showing kindness to that girl from the second branch, and not caring about his own elder sister!
Aunt Xia might be biased, but after all, they were her children. She quickly interjected, “Enough, enough, we are all family. Siblings should give way to each other, especially you, Chengzong. Da i is a girl; you should be more considerate of her.”
Uncle Xia also hurriedly said, “Alright, enough of these pointless argunts. Second son, let’s just speak plainly. Today, we’ve co to take over the store.”
“Indeed, we promised her a share of the Xia Family, but until she’s married, everything she has still belongs to the Old Xia Family.”
So playing nice didn’t work, they reverted to playing hard.
Chengzong’s eyes were blazing with anger, “This is Chuyi’s store!”
He was full of hostility, obviously determined to stand by Chuyi’s side.
Uncle Xia was infuriated by his own son, “You!”
“Anyway, didn’t my sister say I have a gangster’s temper? Fine, today I am indeed a gangster!”
Xia Chengzong ruthlessly flung out, “If anyone dares to step one foot into the store, even if it’s my own parents, I won’t hesitate to lay hands on them!”
After all, he’s still a gangster, a hoodlum, a thug, born to deny kinship, right!
