Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 221 - 220: Sorry (Monthly Ticket 1135+)

Xia Fei rushed over as soon as she saw Zhao Xiaolan getting torn apart by Mrs. Zhao and Guan Mingli, and pushed them away, shouting furiously,

"My mom listened to you all too much in the past, and that’s what destroyed our happy home. She listened to you when getting a divorce and then remarried on your advice, ruining the lives of her children. It’s the Zhao family who have sinned. If it weren’t for your ill intentions of wanting to trick my brother and sister into becoming members of the Zhao family, how would things have ended up like this? You spoiled my brother and sister, let them take the Zhao family name, and after they were pregnant, you wanted to throw them out of the Zhao family. This is now your karma."

Xia Fei’s anger was no less than anyone else’s; these were her own siblings, and the Zhao family was her maternal home. Previously, Xia Fei was not close to the Zhao family, but she never disowned them, yet now, Xia Fei truly hated them.

If Guan Mingli had not had children, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan would have continued to be the grandchildren of the Zhao family, but since Guan Mingli did have a child, she desired to push Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan out of the family, naturally causing their dissatisfaction.

Moreover, the woman that Zhao Xiang had taken a liking to was also opposed by the Zhao family, ultimately leading to a breakup, one can only imagine Zhao Xiang’s feelings.

Perhaps if the Zhao family had not supported Zhao Xiaolan’s divorce, things might not have come to this.

Initially, the Zhao family truly loved Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan, both of whom resembled the Zhao family in appearance and personality, which is why they were dearly cherished.

Furthermore, since Zhao Daguo and Guan Mingli had been unable to conceive, they had transferred all their love for children to Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan. Gradually, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan became closer to the Zhao family. Seeing Guan Mingli unable to get pregnant and knowing Zhao Daguo wasn’t in good health, they gave up hope and started contemplating having Zhao Xiang as their own grandson to carry on the Zhao family lineage.

With such intentions, the Zhao family’s kindness towards Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan became selfish, planned abductions, even deliberately causing Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan to misunderstand and become estranged from the Xia family.

They supported Zhao Xiaolan’s divorce from Xia Jianguo and even found her a new match. As soon as Zhao Xiaolan got divorced, they promptly married her off and then registered Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan under the names of Zhao Daguo and Guan Mingli, intending for them to be adopted.

Now everything had turned out this way: Zhao Daguo was dead, Zhao Yan had suffered a miscarriage, and Zhao Xiang was to be executed. Such a tragedy was nothing but the Zhao family’s own doing.

After Xia Fei cursed them out, several elder aunts from the Xia family joined in the tirade against the Zhao family, and the neighborhood committee was still present. However, Liang Wei and Zhao Yan were not there; Zhao Yan was still lying in the hospital.

Now even the neighborhood committee and public opinion were not on the side of the Zhao family. The Zhao family could not outshout them and became deflated after being cursed at.

Mrs. Zhao and Guan Mingli claimed that the Xia family were the bullies, even suggesting it was the Xia family’s fault for making Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan change their last names, thus bringing calamity to their own.

Even the neighborhood committee could not stand by idly and advised the Zhao family to stop pursuing the matter and to go back and prepare for Zhao Daguo’s funeral.

Moreover, with such an incident occurring during the festive season, everyone felt it was an ill omen and harbored strong dislike towards the Zhao family.

In the end, the Zhao family was persuaded to leave, and the Xia family people went back home.

As for Zhao Yan, nobody bothered with her. Zhao Xiaolan seemed to see Xia Fei as a lifeline, constantly following Xia Fei, unwilling to go back.

Xia Fei helplessly said, "Mom, please go back. There’s no point in going to the Zhao family’s place anymore."

Zhao Xiaolan cried, "Xiao Fei, what if I go back and they won’t let me in the door? The news of Xiangzi killing his uncle has spread, and the police came knocking. The Zhao family kicked me out."

"Well, you married into that family; you’re one of them. If you don’t go back, where else can you go?" Xia Fei didn’t really want to deal with Zhao Xiaolan and had walked away directly. Nevertheless, as her mother, seeing Zhao Xiaolan’s pitiful state, Xia Fei could not bear to be too harsh but also absolutely refused to take Zhao Xiaolan back to the Xia family.

"Xiao Fei, how will they sentence your brother? He’s not going to die, is he?" At this point, Zhao Xiaolan was truly frightened.

Xia Fei nodded heavily, "A murder requires execution by shooting."

Zhao Xiaolan’s legs went weak for a moment, and she cried, "Xiao Fei, what should we do? I don’t want your brother to die, Xiao Fei, how can we save him?"

"Mom, there’s no saving him. Uncle is dead, and my brother has to pay with his life." Xia Fei didn’t say anything more and told Zhao Xiaolan, "Mom, go back. I also need to return to Grandma’s house. I’m going to the countryside in a couple of days. Take good care of yourself."

By this time, several elder aunts and younger aunts had left. Xia Jianguo and Zhang Yun were still not far away, but they didn’t come over, and now they couldn’t find the words to speak to Zhao Xiaolan either.

Zhao Xiaolan also knew that she couldn’t go to the Xia Family, and looking towards Xia Jianguo and Zhang Yun in the distance, she said to Xia Fei, "Xiao Fei, Mom really regrets it, Mom feels so regretful, I’m sorry to your dad, I’m sorry to you and your siblings, Mom has no face to say anything more, but Mom wants to tell you, I truly regret it, I was wrong."

Xia Fei’s tears fell just like that, pitter patter, and she choked up, "Mom, it’s too late to say these things now, everything is too late. You live your life well. I’ll come back to see you if I get the chance."

"Xiao Fei, you must take good care of yourself. Mom hopes you cherish your marriage, don’t be foolish like me. My life has been ruined, and so has your brother’s, and your sister..."

Zhao Xiaolan paused there and said, "Your sister is ruined too. I’m going back now, you take care of yourself, Xiao Fei, I’m sorry, I was biased before, I admit my mistake to you, please forgive me."

"Mom, I forgive you." Xia Fei said.

Zhao Xiaolan nodded, "Good, you forgive Mom, Mom is very happy. You go back, Mom will watch you go, don’t keep your dad waiting."

Xia Fei nodded and said to Zhao Xiaolan, "Mom, take good care of yourself, goodbye!"

Zhao Xiaolan called out to the figure of Xia Fei, "Xiao Fei."

"Mom?" Xia Fei turned around again.

Zhao Xiaolan looked in the direction of Xia Jianguo, wanting to say something to Xia Fei, but in the end, she didn’t say it and could only wave her hand, saying goodbye.

Xia Fei nodded and had to turn around to walk away; her parents were divorced, and it was impossible for her to take her mom back to her grandmother’s house, so at this moment, Xia Fei walked towards Xia Jianguo and Zhang Yun.

Zhao Xiaolan kept watching the figure of Xia Fei for a long time until they had all gone before she finally left.

Xia Xiao had finally waited for everyone to come back one after another, and then she had her sisters serve tea and pour water for everyone, and go to heat up the food.

In a while, Xia Fei and Xia Jianguo also returned.

Azati had been anxiously waiting, and seeing Xia Fei return, he breathed a sigh of relief, but Xia Fei’s red and swollen eyes made Azati’s heart ache.

At the Public Security Bureau, Xia Fei hadn’t let Azati accompany her; she didn’t want him to worry about it.

Xia Xiao took a handkerchief soaked in spring water and handed it to Xia Fei, "Sister Xiao Fei, apply this to your eyes."
