Chapter 1232
1232 Stay Over for a Few Days
“Given that Xiao Xing is a new transferee into his workplace unit, they haven’t discussed the matter of his accommodation with him yet. So he doesn’t have a place to stay yet. Why not let him stay at Xia Zhe’s place? Isn’t Xia He also staying there?” Zhou Luo said.
Xia Jun snorted. These people were really well-informed. Although Zhou Luo did not live in the capital, she knew so much about matters related to the Xia family. It seemed that Zhou Luo might have an informant working for the family. However, it was also possible that the news was simply leaked out by people in the know. After all, it was not a secret that Xia He was staying at Qiao Mei’s house. Anyone who was familiar with any of the Xia family members would know about this arrangement.
“Xia He only moved there so that she could take care of Qiao Mei. She didn’t even go to the art troupe this month and just stayed by Qiao Mei’s side all this while. It almost caused her to lose her job. Besides, Xia He isn’t staying there permanently. Now that Qiao Mei has given birth, she will move out soon. Do you want Xia Xing’s life to revolve around Qiao Mei as well?” Xia Jun questioned.
...“But they have not moved back yet, have they? They’re still staying at Xu Lan’s place! Then what’s wrong with us staying over for a while? Aren’t these youngsters all part of the same family?” Zhou Luo said.
Of course, it would not be a problem to allow someone to stay over for a while. After all, there would be times when one might really need help. Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe were not nasty people and they would definitely help if they could.
However, Zhou Luo clearly had ulterior motives. Today, it was Xia Xing who wanted to move in. What if Xia Yu also wanted to move in after a while? After that, were all of them going to occupy a room each?
Xia Jun wanted them to know that he was not old and senile yet! As long as he was still alive, he would not allow anyone to eye Xia Zhe’s house! That was the last task Wu Min handed to him before she died. No matter who came to cajole him, he would not waver!
“There’s plenty of space at my place. I actually feel quite bored living alone in such a big house. Xia Xing can come and stay with me,” Xia Jun said.
Xia Xing’s face instantly fell and he immediately said, “I don’t want to!”
Zhou Luo glared at Xia Xing. He was already an adult, yet he still acted like a child and showed all his emotions clearly on his face. What an embarrassment!
Since the old house was left behind by Wu Min, all the children of the Xia family should get a share. Why should it be only given to Xia Zhe? Moreover, when Wu Min died, only Xia Mao and his family were by her side. She did not make a will and only conveyed her wishes verbally.
Who knew if that was really what Zhou Min said? What if Xia Mao and the others had made everything about her leaving the house to Xia Zhe?
She would never believe that those were Wu Min’s last words. These children with her were also the Xia family’s grandchildren and no one could snatch away whatever belonged to them!
“That won’t do. Xia Xing will be coming with his girlfriend! It’s not convenient for her to stay at your place,” Zhou Luo said.
“This won’t do and that won’t do. Then you guys can find a solution yourself. Don’t even think about going to Xia Zhe’s place. If I find out that you guys secretly go to talk to Qiao Mei about this, I’ll break your legs!” Xia Jun said sternly.
Xia Lu and Xia Yan trembled in fear and did not even dare to breathe loudly. This whole issue today had nothing to do with the two of them, but they still had to get lectured as well. They felt so aggrieved.
Xia Xing still wanted to continue persuading Xia Jun, but Zhou Luo stopped him with one look. Since this idea did not work, why not change to another one?
“We’ll talk about the issue of the house another day. Our Zhou family can still afford to pay for his accommodation. However, you have to help with the matter of Xia Xing’s wedding. We need to know where we can hold the ceremony. Xia Mao and Xu Lan must at least help us out with this,” Zhou Luo said arrogantly.
After beating around the bush, Zhou Luo’s real intention was to make use of Xia Mao and his family. If it was not about the money, it was about the house. At least she did not do what the Tan family did and tried to target the babies.
Xia Jun could not be bothered to talk to Zhou Luo anymore and just sat there and listened quietly. Zhou Luo even thought that Xia Jun was doing this out of a guilty conscience! She quickly started to present the rest of her idea. She would never let go of anything that she could take advantage of.
The helper could not stand it anymore and secretly went to the study to make a phone call to Xu Lan’s house. She wanted to tell them about what was happening so that they could hurry over to help Xia Jun.
Xia Jun was already not in good health. He had only regained his strength after drinking Qiao Mei’s medicinal wine. Now that Zhou Luo was irritating him, he seemed to look quite ill again. Xia Xing and his two brothers just sat at the side silently. They did not have much feelings for Xia Jun and at most only felt a sense of responsibility towards the Xia family.
