Chapter 1427
1427 He Is Sickly!
Zhou Luo would never come to the Xia family residence again. She also did not want to care about these two little brats of the Xia family anymore. Back then, she had taken in Xia Lu and Xia Yan in order to obtain the Xia family’s assets. Now that the family had split up, she no longer had anything to gain. These two children were no longer of any use to her.
“Xia Guang, either you take care of Xia Lu and Xia Yan yourself, or you let the two of them take on the surname Zhou. From now on, they’ll be my children and have nothing to do with your family! Make your choice!” Zhou Luo said.
“If you like them, then take them with you! I have nothing to say…” Xia Guang said dispiritedly as he sat at the door.
He did not even have a home now, so what was the point of having children? These children had not been brought up by his side since they were young. Even if he kept them with him, they would not be filial to him. He might as well give them to someone else!
“Then from now on, these two children will be called Zhou Lu and Zhou Yan. They’ll have nothing to do with you anymore!” Zhou Luo left after saying that. In this era, it was also a glorious achievement to have two university students in the family. Zhou Lu and Zhou Yan would have a bright future ahead of them.
Xia Xing felt a little sad when he saw Xia Guang like this. In the past, he was so proud of Xia Guang being his father! Now… now, he was like a public enemy! This was all Xia Guang’s own fault and he could not blame anyone else.
“Everyone, don’t be so unhappy! I’ll cook a table full of nice dishes for everyone!” Qiao Mei said to everyone with a smile.
“Sure, I love Qiao Mei’s cooking the most. I’m in for a treat today!” Xia Jun said with a smile as he patted Qiao Mei’s head.
When everyone saw that Xia Jun was not feeling so sad anymore, they felt relieved. The family gathered together happily for a meal, knowing that they would not need to be embarrassed by other people’s issues in the future.
The Shao family did not return to the county city quietly as told. The rest of their family who were still in the guest houses did not know what had happened and kept asking, “What happened to your family? Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Didn’t you say that we would stay here until Shao Yin got married? Where did Shao Yin go?”
“That kid from the Xia family… There’s something wrong with that kid! Shao Yin doesn’t know about it at first, but now that she knows, she insists that the marriage is canceled and has rushed home last night,” Shao Zhuang said as he randomly made up an excuse.
The truth was that they felt too embarrassed and sent Shao Yin back to the county city overnight so that this group of relatives would not be able to dig up any dirt on her. They could not stay in the capital anymore, so they must make sure that they could still stay in the small county city that was their hometown.
“Oh! What a pity. What’s wrong with that kid? Can’t Shao Yin just bear with it?” a relative of the Shao family asked.
Shao Zhuang did not know how to reply. He had only just made up a random reason and did not give any thought to the sickness which Xia Xing supposedly had. He hurriedly looked at Bian Duo, who gave it some thought, and finally said, “He can’t have children!”
“What? He can’t have children?” The Shao family’s relatives looked at Bian Duo in shock. Should this not be something that could only be discovered after a year or two of marriage? How did an innocent maiden like Shao Yin know about this?
“Yesterday, their family spilled the beans after drinking too much. They even asked our Shao Yin to adopt a child in the future. Our Shao Yin is such a good girl. Why should she be a mother to a child who is not related to her by blood! Shao Yin refused to marry him anymore and ran back to the county city in a fit of anger,” Bian Duo said regretfully.
They spoke very loudly when they discussed this matter and everyone else in the guest house could hear it. During this period of time, they had bullied many people around them and told everyone they met that they were the Xia family’s in-laws. They told everyone to behave carefully around them or they would beat them to death!
The news of Xia Xing’s infertility started to spread during the time when the Xia family was dealing with the split in the family . In the future, there would not be any girls from the prominent families who would want to be with Xia Xing. No one else could be blamed for this. Xia Xing was the one who had done something wrong and he had to bear the consequences himself.
After the family finished their meal happily, Xia Wen had to go back to the workplace unit to work overtime. He had been drinking all day yesterday and had to stay home to deal with the family matters today. He was behind on a lot of work, so he had to go back to handle all the paperwork. Otherwise, if the progress of the project slowed down, his subordinates would get reprimanded.
It was supposed to be a rest day today and there should not be anyone at the office except for the security guards. Xia Wen did not expect that there was someone else working overtime apart from him!
