After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 238 - 2038 are you mad at me?

"I finally know why Chuyi wants to cut ties with the family," Xia Chengzong spoke mockingly to his own mother.

"Ha, because the family doesn’t treat us like human beings!"

Xia Chengzong became cruel, his eyes bloodshot as he said, "Aren’t you the ones who despise me for being a thug?"

"Aren’t you the ones who called me an unfilial beast?"

"Fine, starting today, I, Xia Chengzong, will truly show you what it means to have no kin!"

With that, he forcefully threw Grandma Xia to the ground, causing her to cry out in pain, "Ouch."

Then Xia Chengzong stood up straight, his aura menacing, and told Aunt Xia, "Anyone who annoys me again, I won’t show mercy!"

His demeanor completely terrified Aunt Xia.

"You..." Aunt Xia didn’t know what to say, only feeling very upset.

She looked around with a wronged expression, too scared to look at her son.

As she glanced, she finally noticed Xia Chuyi standing at the door, brightening up as if she had grabbed a lifeline.

"Chuyi, Chuyi! Aunt begs you, please save your brother, will you?" She rushed towards Xia Chuyi, but her son restrained her just as she moved.

"Don’t bother Chuyi!" Xia Chengzong snapped irritably while he held onto her.

In this family, only Chuyi had truly been good to him. From now on, he had only one true relative, his sister!

Aunt Xia was startled by her son’s shout and turned around.

She had been yelled at by Xia Chengzong loudly before, but it was the first time his eyes were completely void of affection.

Tears quickly streamed down Aunt Xia’s face.

"Cheng... Chengzong, are you blaming mom?" she cried out sorrowfully, "You’re blaming mom, aren’t you? But I did it for the good of you and your brother!" freewebnσvel.cѳm

"For the sake of this family!"

Aunt Xia sobbed even more grievously, "How can you not understand?"

For a moment, Grandma Xia sat on the ground crying out in pain, while Aunt Xia stood wiping her tears and complaining of injustice.

Sadly, Xia Chengzong had become heartless; he watched the two cry and shout, unmoved.

This spectacle made Xia Chuyi’s feelings incredibly complicated.

Grandma Xia and Aunt Xia hadn’t treated her well; it was fair to say they had never been close.

Yet, her second brother and Xia Chengzu were both from the main family, but the treatment they received was still unequal.

Thus, biased hearts breed biased actions, and yet one remains oblivious.

She felt indignant on behalf of Xia Chengzong.

Beside her, Uncle Liberation Army had already stepped forward, his face stern, and protected her assertively.

Xia Chuyi felt a warmth in her heart—there was still some warmth and affection in this cold world.

Look, her second brother, her Uncle Liberation Army, were both protecting her.

She gently tugged Huo Shiqian’s hand.

"Brother Shi Qian, let me handle this."

Huo Shiqian turned, looked at her, pursed his lips, but did not budge.

She tugged at him again and said, "I’m not a clinging vine, I can handle it."

Her eyes were immensely steadfast and calm.

Huo Shiqian sternly made way, his eyes gripping her for a long time before finally stepping aside without a word.

Clearly, he was still worried.

But he respected her.

Xia Chuyi gave him a slight smile, "Thank you, Brother Shi Qian."

Then, dropping her smile, she walked towards Aunt Xia and Grandma Xia.

"Do you want me to help Xia Chengzu? I can," Xia Chuyi’s cold and resonant voice rang out.
