Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Watching a Joke?
âAh, Sister Lan, since you were already with He Qing, why didnât you say so earlier?â Xia Chuyi shifted her eyes suspiciously, âSister Lan, if you had spoken earlier, Grandma and the others wouldnât have had other thoughts!â
âAlas, it was because you didnât speak up earlier that this led toâŠâ She deliberately glanced at the people present.
Todayâs drama, wasnât it all started because of a marriage issue? If we had known earlier about Xia Lan and He Qing, this play wouldnât have even started.
SoâŠ
Xia Chuyi sighed heavily, and said seriously, âSister Lan, arenât you just intentionally enjoying Sister Meiâs embarrassment?â
Her words successfully shifted the blame onto Xia Mei.
...
Upon hearing this, Xia Mei flew into a rage.
âXia Lan, you bitch!â Xia Mei lunged forward, grabbed Xia Lanâs clothes, and raised her hand to slap her.
âWhat are you doing?â Xia Meiâs raised hand was caught by Xia Lan.
âCalling me a bitch? What about you! Plotting so desperately to steal your sisterâs marital opportunity, arenât you a bitch too?â Xia Lan threw Xia Meiâs hand away, said forcefully.
The two of them went back and forth, tearing at each other.
âYou are the bitch!â
âYou shameless thing!â
âOkay, okay, stop fighting!â Aunt Xia finally realized what was happening and stepped forward to break up the fight.
Although she said this, her actions were biased.
Aunt Xia restrained Xia Lanâs hands, allowing Xia Mei to hit her.
Ultimately, under the intentional or unintentional âassistanceâ of Aunt Xia, Xia Mei managed to slap Xia Lan several times.
Satisfied at last, Xia Mei let go, and only then did Aunt Xia act like she was having a hard time separating them, standing between the two.
âWe are all family, two sisters, canât we talk nicely?â She said earnestly, her tone heavy with care.
At this moment, Grandma Xia also stepped in.
âBang, bang,â she slammed her hand on the table angrily, with a furious face: âWhat are you doing, making such a commotion right before my eyes? Where do you place me, an old lady?â
This was also partiality, she spoke only after the fight had ended.
Checking over the two that were fighting, Xia Meiâs hair was a bit disheveled and her clothes a bit untidy, but she had no marks on her face.
And Xia Lan, with her hair in a disarray and her face red, with tears brimming in her eyes.
âGrandma, donât blame me, I didnât mean to⊠I was just so upset⊠I, I can apologize to Sister MeiâŠâ Xia Lan began sobbing.
Because of Xia Lanâs usually soft and weak image, coupled with her present disheveled and pitiful state, she looked even more sympathetic than usual, especially standing beside the domineering and arrogant Xia Mei, immediately turning into a pitiable figure.
It made everyone completely forget her frenzied behavior earlier.
It turned out to be a plan to gain sympathy!
Xia Chuyi understood at that moment.
No wonder, given Xia Lanâs capability, despite such a serious tangle, Xia Mei had not a single mark on her.
Once any injuries appeared on her face, Grandma Xia couldnât excessively favor her, and Mrs. He, having seen this scene, would probably hold an even worse opinion of Xia Mei.
Xia Chuyi curled her lips into a smile, then promptly stood before everyone.
âYes, Grandma, you believe in Sister Lan, donât you? She really spoke without thinking!â
Xia Chuyi unexpectedly spoke well of Xia Lan, which nobody had anticipated, and at that moment, everyone looked at her.
Xia Chuyi cocked her head to the side and said earnestly, âGrandma, think about it, Sister Lan said the person who tries to steal the sisterâs marriage opportunity is a bitch, doesnât that mean she inadvertently cursed herself too?â
