Chapter 573: Chapter 566: Her Hatred (Part 10)
The Xia family exchanged glances at each other at this moment, seeing Bai Yiranâs posture, they had no intention of offering an explanation, instead, it seemed more like she was here to demand one from them.
After being driven out of the family matriarchâs mourning hall by Bai Yiran, Father Xia and Mrs. Xia went home to ask Xia Lian what had happened. Initially, Xia Lian refused to speak, but after being pressured she finally revealed the matter.
It turned out, there was a direct cause involving Xia Lian and the death of the matriarch.
The Xia family immediately sensed trouble; with such a situation occurring, how could Cheng Gang possibly want to continue living a good life with Xia Lian?
Seeing Bai Yiranâs cold demeanor towards the Xia family during the funeral, they suspected she wouldnât be kind to the Xia family in the future either. What if she decided to take back the house given to their son?
Father Xia and Mrs. Xia thought about these things and couldnât sleep a wink for nights. Finally, they decided itâs best to strike first!
However, they never anticipated that in such an event, Cheng Gang would call Bai Yiran over, was he no longer concerned about his uncleâs reputation?
Father Xia looked at Bai Yiran with a contemptuous expression and said, "You are a girl of the Bai Family, you have the surname Bai! You have no business with the Cheng Family affairs!"
As soon as he said this, the Xia family members chimed in agreement.
"Thatâs right! Besides, youâre married off, since when does a married niece meddle in her maternal uncleâs affairs?"
"Exactly, just a young girl! Speaking out of turn!"
Among the relatives brought over by Father Xia and Mrs. Xia, there were those who knew who Bai Yiran was, but also those who didnât.
However, at this point, it didnât matter if they knew or not, they just needed to support the actions of Father Xia and Mrs. Xia. After all, if there are benefits, everyone shares, and if thereâs trouble, Father Xia and Mrs. Xia bear it.
Bai Yiran swept her gaze coldly over those people, "Alright then, since you say the Cheng Family affairs are none of my business, then return that house my husband gave to your son."
Father Xia and Mrs. Xia froze, their mouths twitching a few times.
The Xia familyâs relatives all turned to look at Father Xia and Mrs. Xia, so it was Bai Yiran who gave Xia Lianâs brother the house! They had boastfully claimed that Xia Lianâs brother bought the house with his own money!
Seeing his brags being exposed in public, Father Xiaâs face turned red, but he stubbornly said, "You gave it to us willingly! How can you ask for it back now!"
Bai Yiran shook her head, "Thatâs wrong, the reason my husband gave you the house back then was completely out of respect for my aunt, Xia Lian, at the time! Ultimately, we were relatives back then, but today you said, the Cheng Family affairs are none of my concern. Since thatâs the case, there was no need for me, a Bai, to give a house to the Old Xia Family because thereâs no relation anymore~"
Bai Yiranâs words made Xia Lianâs parentsâ faces turn from blue to white, struggling to speak,
Xia Lianâs brother glared at Bai Yiran, thinking the house given to him could never be taken back! "What a joke! The house is already transferred to my name, that means itâs mine! You still want it back? No way!"
Bai Yiran sneered, looking at Xia Lianâs brother with a glint in her eyes, "Who says once itâs transferred in your name, the house must be yours? Do you believe I have ways to take the house back?"
Hearing this, Xia Lianâs brother was flustered, feeling as though Bai Yiran might seize the big house any second. He had married his wife thanks to this house, with a wife and child now, if they lost the house wouldnât that mean...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, directly charging at Bai Yiran, "You stinking womanâ"
"Ahâ" Before Xia Lianâs brother could get near Bai Yiran, he was already pinned to the ground by Li Sha, who was beside her, his arm twisted behind his back, crying out in pain.
"Bai Yiran! What are you doing! Let go of my son!" Father Xia and Mrs. Xia cried out as they saw their son suffering.
Bai Yiran sat on the sofa unmoved, finally setting her gaze on Xia Lian, who was silently weeping in the back, her eyes flickered with complex emotions, then she spoke, "After all, this is a matter between my uncle and aunt! The Xia family ignoring all decency by bringing this to my uncleâs company has already prepared for a fallout between the two families! Now, I offer you two options: one is for everyone to sit down and talk calmly, and everything would be fine to discuss! The other is for you to continue this ruckus! I canât guarantee what the consequences might be then!"
With Bai Yiranâs words, Li Sha exerted pressure, pain immediately surged through Xia Lianâs brother, and the reception room was filled with his screams.
