Capítulo 1118: Chapter 1119: Xia Xing’s Protection
Looking at Huo Yishan, who was being restrained by the bodyguards, Xia Xing suddenly spoke up.
As soone who was nearing the end of her days, how could she stand by and watch the daughter-in-law she acknowledged in her heart being bullied and humiliated by Ruan Qiuting!
In the Li Family, Xia Xing rarely got involved in these matters. Her sudden intervention left both the matron of the Li Family and Li Xiangyang montarily stunned, and they turned to fix their gazes on her face.
“Xing, what did you say?” the matron of the Li Family asked incredulously. Did this daughter-in-law want the bodyguards to release that Huo Yishan?
“I told you to let her go, didn’t you hear ?” The one in charge is the one in charge, even if she usually doesn’t assert her authority, Xia Xing’s gaze was particularly sharp at this mont. After exchanging glances, the bodyguards saw that neither the matron of the Li Family nor Li Xiangyang spoke up, so they quickly released Huo Yishan one by one.
Ruan Qiuting also turned incredulously; even now, does she still want to protect this Huo Yishan in front of everyone?
She was the one who called these people here, and doing so would put her in a very awkward position, wouldn’t it?
“Auntie, that Huo Yishan just—”
“Did she hit anyone?” Before Ruan Qiuting could finish, Xia Xing’s face darkened, and she looked at her and countered.
Ruan Qiuting paused, speechless.
“Also, when did our family’s bodyguards beco yours to command?”
Xia Xing’s unusual behavior left both the Li Family and the Ruan Family deeply shocked.
Today was supposed to be Li Yuan and Ruan Qiuting’s engagent party. After today, Qiuting would be her daughter-in-law. Why is she instead helping an outsider against Qiuting?
“I say, sister-in-law, did you make a mistake? Shouldn’t you be siding with the eldest daughter of the Ruan Family?” At this point, the second lady of the Li Family couldn’t help but speak up.
Even Li Xiangyang couldn’t help but tug at his wife, whispering, “Xing, what’s going on with you?”
Xia Xing turned her head to look at her husband, “What’s going on with ? All I saw was that when our son was lying in the hospital, it was Yishan who stayed with him day and night for eight days. What did Ruan Qiuting do? When I was hit by a shelf, not only did she not help hold it up, she actually stepped back and watched as the shelf fell on !”
The sudden revelation left both the Li and Ruan families in utter disbelief!
Ruan Qiuting turned pale at these words.
Why, why would she bring up the shelf incident at this ti? Was it really just to protect Huo Yishan? Or was she thinking of calling off the engagent?
Nearby, Huo Yishan was also surprised, slowly turning her head to look at Xia Xing.
What did she an when she said that during the shelf incident, Ruan Qiuting didn’t help and actually stepped back?
“Xing, what are you saying?” Li Xiangyang looked at his wife, montarily unable to process.
Xia Xing was about to speak when Ruan Qiuting suddenly put on an extrely aggrieved expression and looked at Xia Xing, “Auntie, what are you saying? When did I ever do such a thing? You’re really, really going to pin such a cri on just to protect Huo Yishan?”
Her pitiful manner really seed like Xia Xing was protecting Huo Yishan by saying this.
However, this extrely aggrieved display only made Xia Xing understand more clearly and see through her as a duplicitous woman.
Such pretentiousness and deviousness would surely spell trouble if she really married her son and beca the future mistress of the Li Family!
“I’m pinning a cri on you?” Xia Xing calmly replied, looking at Ruan Qiuting.
