Chapter 2319: Causing Trouble

“Do your family members still dare to appear in front of us? If they’re not afraid of being chastised by my relatives, they can feel free to come,” Xia Xing said indifferently.

Shao Yin had nothing to say to that. She hugged Xia Hai silently and did not speak. At this moment, Xia Xing was the only one who could make decisions in this family. If she left the Xia family and Xia Xing, she had nothing.

Xia Xing washed Xia Hai’s soiled clothes and cleaned up the mess in the house before going to bed. The next day, he arrived at Qiao Mei’s house at noon to explain the situation.

“I didn’t expect you to come,” Qiao Mei said with a cold expression.

She would never be welcoming to the third son’s family. Ever since she married into the Xia family, this third branch of the Xia family had always been going after her. Time and time again, they had put her, her family members and her children in danger. These people were still alive only because of her respect for Xia Jun. Otherwise… she would have long found a way to send them to their graves!

“I’m not here to talk about the celebration banquet. I’m here to tell you that I’ll find a venue myself. I hope you’ll accept our invite and attend the event,” Xia Xing said calmly.

This came as a surprise to Qiao Mei. She looked at Xia Xing and said, “You… you actually have some pride.”

“I have just come to terms with the facts. I just want to say that if the charges at your mother’s restaurant are lower than other restaurants or if the venue is more suitable for us, I will want to give you the business,” Xia Xing said.

Qiao Mei immediately rejected Xia Xing’s offer and said, “Our restaurant is more upmarket. You’ve been there before. The ingredients are all imported from my farm, so our prices can’t go too low. Even if we only charge you the cost price, we will still be much more expensive than other places. These are facts and not that we are trying to take advantage of you.”

Xia Xing nodded and did not try to make things difficult for Qiao Mei. The two of them chatted for a while and Xia Xing left. Qiao Mei leaned against the door of the main hall and stared at Xia Xing’s departing figure for a long time.

Was this still the Xia Xing she knew? He seemed to have changed into a different person overnight…

Xia Xing handled everything himself, including booking the restaurant, making the guest list and setting up the venue, among other things. He remained busy up to the day of the banquet. He had sent invites to all his family members and all of them turned up, dressed to the nines.

“I certainly never expect Xia Xing to man up this time round. He’s no longer the weakling from before,” Xia Wan said, looking satisfied.

“I’m also very puzzled about what happened recently. Look, Shao Yin hasn’t even said a single word today and it looks like she’s avoiding us,” Xia He said curiously.

Although it was Xia Hai’s one-month-old celebration banquet today, the event was not being held at a place under the Xia family’s charge. Recently, the Xia family had made too many enemies, so it was safer for the other children to stay in the army base.

“Well, maybe it’s because Xia Xing has realized that he needs the Xia family in order to have a good future ahead. After leaving Zhou Hua’s side, he seems to be able to think better,” Qiao Mei said.

“Oh! Speaking of Auntie Zhou, will she be here today? Why do I have an ominous feeling…” Xia He said.

Tang Hui wrapped her coat tighter around herself and said, “It’s not just you. I also feel a little uncomfortable.”

“She will definitely be here. How can she miss such a good show!” Qiao Mei said with a laugh.

Before the banquet even began, Zhou Hua walked into the main hall of the restaurant, wearing tattered clothes. All the Xia family members turned to look at her. It was difficult not to notice Zhou Hua’s attire. She looked like one of those beggars on the streets and she even smelled really bad.

“She really wants to add some color to our day even at the expense of her own image…” Xia Wan said helplessly.

“Didn’t they say that she has turned over a new leaf? Why is she still doing such a thing now?” Xia He asked in shock.

Qiao Mei shrugged to indicate that she did not know anything either. If Zhou Hua knew how to use her brains, Xia Guang would not have divorced her and she would not have to leave the Xia family so disgracefully.

Zhou Hua took a look around and seemed to have found her target when she saw Xia Hai. She shouted loudly, “Oh, my grandson! My grandson! It’s so difficult to find you! So you’re here!”

Shao Yin hurriedly walked forward to hold up Zhou Hua and said, “Mother! Why are you here while dressed like this! What happened to you!”

By now, everyone knew what was going on. Shao Yin and Zhou Hua were working together to put on a big show today.

Xia Jun glanced at Xia Wen and the younger man quickly went to look for the restaurant owner to book an exclusive private room upstairs. He asked Mo Zhu and Xia He to bring the child up to the private room and not to come back downstairs no matter what happened.

“I know that you don’t want me to come and see Xia Hai, but I’m his biological grandmother! I have the right to take a look at him! I have even prepared his one-month-old gift!” Zhou Hua shakily took out a rag from her pocket.
