Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 219 - 218: Zhao Family Tragedy (1105+ Monthly Tickets)

By the time Yang He finished brandishing his dagger, sweating profusely as he walked over to his desk, he intended to stab down onto the characters he had just written, wishing to show he was not scared. However, he was startled by a large "Zhao" character.

Clang, the dagger slipped out of Yang He’s grip and fell, the handle hitting his foot. Fortunately, it wasn’t the blade that struck his foot, or he would have been injured.

Yang He was taken aback, no longer caring about the pain in his foot, his gaze fixed in shock on the characters on the desk surface. These were not written by him, and even if they were, they would not look like this. It was his ink and his brush, but not his handwriting.

At this point, Yang He became terrified and trembled.

"Don’t mess with the Xia family, don’t provoke anyone surnamed Xia."

"Zhao," violence, an omen of violence.

Just these words were enough to make Yang He’s imagination run wild, completely preventing him from sleeping, and even his heart couldn’t find peace.

Xia Xiao no longer visited the Zhao family, still hoping that Yang He would help her drive the Zhao family out of the city. As for how Yang He would deal with the Zhao family, Xia Xiao didn’t care anymore.

After returning to the Xia family, Xia Xiao slept soundly, but that night Yang He, Liang Wei, and Zhao Yan were all living in fear.

At that moment, the issues between the Xia family and the Zhao family were dug up again, and Yang He’s gaze at Liang Wei was filled with deep, malicious intent. It turned out that his own people had sabotaged everything.

"Brother Yangyang, what happened between the Zhao family and the Xia family?" Liang Wei hastily asked.

Yang He said, "Don’t mess with the Xia family’s people. Anyone who does will have to answer to me, Yang He. As for the Zhao family, I hope not to see anyone from the Zhao family in this city. I also hope these words die with you."

As soon as Liang Wei returned, he immediately called Zhao Yan and Zhao Xiang over and demanded they change their surname back to Xia. But for Zhao Yan and Zhao Xiang, reverting to the Xia surname was not so easy.

Not to mention how the Zhao family would react, it was another matter whether the Xia family would even agree.

"If they don’t agree, you go beg until the Xia family is willing. Otherwise, neither of you stays in this city."

Liang Wei’s harsh words scared Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan, "Liang Wei, what happened?"

"If only I knew," Liang Wei said, exasperatedly running his hands through his hair. He hadn’t recovered from last night’s fright and had suffered another blow this morning, having been sternly reprimanded by Yang He.

"In any case, either revert to the Xia surname, or leave the city."

Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan then returned to the Zhao family. Without even asking anyone from the Zhao family, Zhao Xiang took the family’s household registration and left. When the Zhao family heard that Zhao Xiang wanted to change back to the Xia surname, they were furious.

An argument broke out immediately. Zhao Yan added, "Who knows which Zhao offended whom, now people want to drive all those surnamed Zhao out of the city."

"Offended whom? It’s the Xia family we’ve offended," Guan Mingli also shouted angrily. At that moment, the Zhao family could no longer stay calm; like a fire lit, several from the Zhao family exploded in anger.

Mr. Zhao was also furiously regretful, never imagining he would raise such ungrateful children as Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan. So, watching Zhao Daguo fighting with Zhao Xiang, Mr. Zhao joined the fight against Zhao Xiang.

Beaten by Mr. Zhao and Uncle Zhao, Zhao Xiang’s anger was uncontainable. He lashed out in retaliation, but no matter how young and strong he was, he couldn’t overcome two people. Zhao Xiang had no martial arts training or skills.

But Zhao Xiang had a dagger on his person, and in the heat of the moment, he drew his own dagger and thrust it forward, stabbing right into Zhao Daguo’s abdomen.

"Da Guo," Mrs. Zhao cried out piercingly.

Zhao Xiang, terrified, dropped the dagger and staggered a few steps backward.

Mr. Zhao was shocked too, pointing at Zhao Xiang and saying, "You’ve committed patricide."

Zhao Xiang was startled as well, but spat out in disdain, "How is he my father? I’m not his son."

Guan Mingli and Zhao Yan were fighting fiercely, but when they saw Zhao Daguo stabbed in the abdomen by Zhao Xiang, they both let out harrowing screams, "Da Guo."

Guan Mingli then pushed Zhao Yan forward violently, rushing towards Zhao Daguo.

After being shoved by Guan Mingli, Zhao Yan’s fall was brutal. She cried out in agony as blood began to flow from her thigh.

"Take him to the hospital, I didn’t kill anyone," Zhao Xiang said anxiously. He had not intended to kill Zhao Daguo, but seeing how much blood he was losing, Zhao Xiang was also frightened. He wanted to take Zhao Daguo to the hospital, but Zhao’s parents wouldn’t let him touch Daguo.

"I didn’t kill anyone, if you don’t take him to the hospital and he dies, it’s not on me," Zhao Xiang declared again.

"I’ll kill you," suddenly, Zhao Daguo swayed, pulling out the dagger with a ferocious look and thrust it towards Zhao Xiang with the last of his strength. Zhao Xiang dodged swiftly, and Zhao Daguo collapsed on the ground, his blood pooling around him.

On New Year’s Eve, the tragedy at the Zhao family reached the Xia family by the afternoon.

The people of the Xia family were shocked. Mrs. Xia, her face trembling, said, "What did you say, Xiangzi killed someone? He killed his uncle?"

Xia Baoguo nodded. Mrs. Xia was barely able to stand, so Xia Xiao quickly supported her, looking towards Xia Baoguo.

Xia Baoguo then said, "The neighbors discovered the incident, and our newspaper’s staff rushed over as well. The residents’ committee and the police reached the scene immediately."

"Zhao Xiang stabbed Zhao Daguo in the stomach, and Daguo did not survive. Zhao Yan was beaten by Guan Mingli into miscarriage," Xia Baoguo frowned and continued, "It’s said, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan went back to the Zhao family to revert to the Xia surname, which infuriated the Zhao family and led to the tragedy."

"What has this to do with our Xia family? Did they ask us about changing back to the Xia surname?" Xia Weiguo spoke up, then turned to Xia Jianguo, "Brother, do you know what’s happening? Did you approve of Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan changing back to the Xia surname?"
