After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 291: Informing the Elders

Chang Luhui seemingly spoke casually, but he was actually seeking her opinion, to keep or to release?

Xia Chuyi thought for a moment before asking him, "Director Chang, who are you planning to notify?"

"Who else but her husband He Qing?" Chang Luhui said. "According to Xia Lan, He Qing is no longer in the military and hasn’t returned to his hometown, he’s hiding in the Provincial City."

"Hey, why do you think she would come to you for trouble?"

After stuffing a bite of marinated meat into his mouth, Chang Luhui deliberately played coy.

Once he had swallowed, he continued, "Turns out this grandson He Qing kept things tightly under wraps, even his parents had no clue! He even wrote home asking to pull some strings and for his family to send him a sum of money."

"Xia Lan also took the money to find him in Provincial City, only then did she learn about his discharge from the military, and meeting He Qing, she finally understood everything."

Chang Luhui shook his head, seemingly finding He Qing quite unbelievable.

Xia Chuyi nodded, thinking to herself: It must have been because she listened to her advice that Xia Lan found the excuse to go to Provincial City to see him.

She didn’t speak, just listened as Chang Luhui continued, "She asked He Qing why he was discharged, and how could that grandson admit his own faults? Naturally, he shifted the blame onto you."

"Xia Lan felt indignant, and that’s why she came to trouble you."

Having finished, Chang Luhui glanced at Xia Chengzong, then at Xia Chuyi, "Your family, really, it’s only you two who are normal." freewёbnoνel.com

Xia Chengzong’s hand paused for a moment, but he didn’t argue.

Neither did Xia Chuyi, as she quite agreed with Chang Luhui’s words.

After some thought, Xia Chuyi said to him, "Director Chang, I think since Provincial City is far from here, notifying He Qing might not make him able to come right away."

"I suggest you notify Xia Lan’s in-laws."

"Let them come to vouch for him, that will surely speed things up."

"Notify her in-laws?" Chang Luhui blinked.

Was that to release them?

Xia Chu’s smile remained as she said, "Director Chang, don’t think too much, I just feel that whether it’s He Qing or Xia Lan, whatever they have done or encountered outside, the family should know about it!"

"Otherwise, the family would worry a lot!"

"Cough, cough!" Chang Luhui choked, saying, "Uh, yes, yes."

He knew it, Huo Commander’s daughter-in-law, where could she be so "kind"? Letting the mother-in-law know the misconduct of the daughter-in-law, could that end well?

Truly sly!

"Alright, notify the elders to come, teach her a lesson, so she won’t just casually come out and cause trouble in the future," Chang Luhui said sternly.

Xia Chuyi nodded, "Director Chang is right!"

Chang Luhui quickly finished his marinated meat, stood up, and was about to leave.

"Wait, Director Chang! I’ll go to the Police Station with you!" Xia Chuyi suddenly called out to him, "After all, Xia Lan caused trouble here, and as the involved party, I should also check the situation."

She said this with utmost seriousness.

Chang Luhui rubbed his head, "Alright then."

He thought Xia Chuyi wanted to go enjoy the spectacle.

Xia Chengzong glanced at his younger sister: Was she not going to study?

"Brother, I’m off to the Police Station with Director Chang! You take care of the shop," she said.

Since her expression was too serious, Xia Chengzong couldn’t help but say, "Um, go and come back early."

Before he even finished his sentence, Xia Chuyi had already dashed out of the door—leaving before Chang Luhui. She turned back and called, "Director Chang, let’s go!"

Xia Chengzong stopped his task at hand: Why did his sister seem so eager to escape?
