Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 215 - 214 Harmonious and Joyful Reunion

"""Several sisters had already brought the dumplings to the table, and even Xia Hua was actively and diligently washing dishes. Xia Jing mentioned that Xia Hua never used to take the initiative to wash dishes before, but since she saw Gao Jiaxing washing them, she had started to help out around the house too. Hearing this, Xia Xiao couldn’t help but smile warmly.

Seeing the enthusiasm and eagerness of her younger siblings, the smile on Xia Xiao’s face deepened several shades. She loved this harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Azati and Xia Fei quickly joined in, and everyone started the meal. It was Azati’s first visit, so he received a warm welcome from Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia.

Xia Wei leaned close to Xia Xiao and whispered, "Look at how biased Grandpa is. He didn’t have this attitude when Jiaxing brother-in-law came."

Xia Xiao looked at the smile on Old Man Xia’s face and couldn’t help but chuckle, replying to Xia Wei, "It’s different. Sister Xiao Fei and brother-in-law are already married." Since Azati was already married to Xia Fei, the Xia family certainly wouldn’t make things difficult for him, otherwise, they would be causing trouble for Xia Fei.

While Gao Jiaxing was her partner, they were not yet together, so naturally, the Xia family’s attitude wouldn’t be the same as toward Azati.

Xia Wei nodded, and Xia Xiao put a dumpling into her bowl, saying, "Eat up, we’ll bring some food to your mom later. You’ll have to take care of her at the hospital in a while."

Xia Wei nodded emphatically, thanked Sister Xiaoxiao, and then began to eat the dumpling Xia Xiao had given her.

"Sis, don’t forget about me," Xia Jing hurriedly proffered her bowl, and Xia Xiao also placed a dumpling in it, then served one to each of her younger siblings, not forgetting Grandpa and Grandma.

"Delicious, Sis, I made this one." Xia Jing recognized the dumpling she had made, having made a special mark on it when she packed it.

Xia Wei laughed, "If it weren’t for Sister Xiao Fei and Sister Xiaoxiao seasoning the filling, would you be able to make it taste good? But I think the ones I made are pretty good too."

"Yeah, let’s eat dumplings again on New Year’s Eve," said Xia Jing.

Mrs. Xia nodded, "Alright, let’s make dumplings on New Year’s Eve."

Xia Hua cheered first, "I love dumplings the most."

For a time, the Xia family’s courtyard was filled with joy and harmony, and even Xia Xiao ate several more, until she was completely stuffed.

After eating their fill, Xia Xiao, Xia Wei, Xia Fei, and Azati set off for the hospital.

Xia Xiao took two portions of dumplings, one for Wang Jinying and one for Li Wenjuan. Originally, they were meant for her mother to eat when she came back, but considering her mother had been at the hospital for so long and must be hungry, Xia Xiao decided to prepare a portion for Li Wenjuan as well.

On the way there, they all walked, and to get to the hospital, they would need to pass by the Zhao family’s place. Xia Xiao considered whether to take Xia Fei and Azati on a detour to avoid the Zhao family, but Xia Fei was already leading the way at the front.

Xia Xiao didn’t really want Xia Fei to run into the Zhao family, nor did she want Xia Fei to encounter Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan, worrying that Xia Fei might be taken advantage of or Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan might harbor malicious intentions.

However, they didn’t see anyone from the Zhao family when they passed by their house. Once they were far enough away, Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear a voice call out, "Xia Fei?"

Everyone paused, and Xia Xiao saw Mrs. Zhao coming over, calling out to Xia Fei, "Xia Fei, you’re back."

"Grandma," Xia Fei still greeted her.

Xia Xiao and Xia Wei both remained silent. If it had been another old lady, they might have politely called out a greeting, but the Xia family and the Zhao family had long burned their bridges, so Xia Xiao and Xia Wei remained quiet.

"When did you come back? You didn’t even drop by your grandma’s house for a visit. Your brother and sister always talk about you."

At these words, Xia Xiao inwardly sneered. As if that were true.

"I just got back," said Xia Fei. frёeωebɳovel.com

Mrs. Zhao added, "Come to the house for a visit; your grandma hasn’t seen you in a long time."

"No, Grandma, I have other things to do," Xia Fei shook her head.

Only then did Mrs. Zhao notice Xia Fei’s closeness with Azati, and she asked, "Who’s this? Your beau?"

"He’s my husband, Azati, from the Ha Clan."

As soon as Xia Fei’s words fell, Mrs. Zhao’s face changed immediately, "How could you marry someone from an alien clan, from those isolated mountain ravines? What good can come from there? How could you just marry so carelessly?"

"Grandma, I didn’t marry carelessly. Azati and I have a very good relationship," said Xia Fei.

Seeing that Xia Fei looked unhappy, Mrs. Zhao then softened her tone, "Grandma is just afraid of you being taken advantage of. Marrying so far away, if you’re bullied, we wouldn’t even know."

"Azati won’t bully me," Xia Fei shook her head, ready to leave.

But Mrs. Zhao said, "You haven’t visited your grandmother’s home in a long time. Come over and sit for a while. I know you blame your grandmother for not helping you stay in the city back then..."

"Grandma, I don’t blame you. I have things to do, so I won’t come over. Let’s go," Xia Fei didn’t want to say more. She said she didn’t blame her, but how could her heart not harbor blame, even resentment?

Then Xia Xiao and Xia Wei followed Xia Fei and Azati away, and no one bothered to attend to Mrs. Zhao anymore. Having walked a distance, Xia Xiao looked back and caught Mrs. Zhao’s resentful gaze.

Xia Xiao was truly startled. If it weren’t for the nutrients derived from her environment, she might not have been able to see so discerningly; after all, they had walked quite a distance.

But now, it seemed that Mrs. Zhao truly harbored hatred for the Xia family.

Xia Xiao began to feel uneasy. The Zhao family was like a ticking time bomb, a latent menace. What should she do?

She couldn’t murder, but what about framing or causing trouble? Making the Zhao family leave this place?

These thoughts incessantly filled Xia Xiao’s mind.

Upon reaching the hospital, Wang Jinying and Li Wenjuan were chatting. Seeing Xia Xiao and the others coming, their faces brightened with smiles.

"Xiao Fei, you’re back." Li Wenjuan and Wang Jinying both spoke.

"Yes, I just arrived this morning," Xia Fei said, then called out, "Second Aunt, Little Aunt."

"Who’s this?" Li Wenjuan looked over at Azati.

"He’s my husband, Azati, from the Ha Clan," Xia Fei introduced and then introduced Azati.

With a shy greeting, Azati said, "Hello, Second Aunt, Little Aunt!"

"Hello! Hello!" Wang Jinying and Li Wenjuan both responded.

"Second Aunt, Mom, today Sister Xiao Fei, Xiao Wei, and I made dumplings together. Try some," Xia Xiao placed the lunchbox on the table, handing one portion to Wang Jinying and one to Li Wenjuan.

"Mom, let me feed you," suggested Xia Wei.

Wang Jinying shook her head, "No need. I can eat by myself. Chat with your sisters."

Xia Fei gave Xia Xiao a knowing look and Xia Xiao said, "Second Aunt, Mom, you go ahead and eat. Sister Xiao Fei and I will walk around the hospital."

Xia Fei wanted to have a health check without the family knowing, and Xia Xiao cooperated with her, keeping it a secret. They would wait to see the results before discussing.

In a short while, Xia Xiao accompanied Xia Fei and Azati for the check-up, waiting outside. Deep down, she still hoped that Xia Fei would be fine. Without children between spouses, even the strongest of bonds could be scrutinized.
