Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 222 - 221: The Young Woman and Brother Yang Are a Good Match

Regarding the Zhao family’s situation, no one knew what to say. After returning, they discussed the situation at the police station a bit, and everyone fell silent.

In the middle of the night, Shitou said, "Xiaoxiao, Zhao Xiaolan is outside."

Xia Xiao paused. Zhao Xiaolan was outside. What was she doing out there?

At this time, Xia Xiao dared not leave. This was a night when the family would be unable to sleep well. It would be strange to find anyone who could rest easy after such an incident. freeweɓnovel-cøm

But why had Zhao Xiaolan come over, and more to the point, what was she doing outside the Xia family’s house so late at night? Xia Xiao quietly got up, preparing to go outside, when she heard Li Wenjuan say, "Younger sister, why are you getting up?"

Xia Xiao replied, "Mom, I’m going to the bathroom. You go back to sleep and don’t wake Dad."

"Turn on the light and watch your step," Li Wenjuan still whispered a reminder in a low voice.

Xia Xiao acknowledged and left the room. Soon she went out from the space and indeed saw Zhao Xiaolan standing in a shadowy place not far from the Xia family’s house.

Xia Xiao really got a fright. It was the middle of the night, and even though Zhao Xiaolan was not disheveled, seeing someone standing in the dark, their figure blurred, was honestly quite terrifying.

It was now one or two o’clock in the morning, and Xia Xiao did not know what Zhao Xiaolan intended to do. However, after standing for a while, Zhao Xiaolan walked away.

Xia Xiao watched Zhao Xiaolan’s retreating back and said, "Why do I feel like she’s acting strange?"

Shitou said, "She has regrets."

"There’s no antidote for regret in this world. She’s already married." And with the way things had gone for Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan, the Xia family really hated Zhao Xiaolan now. Even if Xia Jianguo was willing to accept Zhao Xiaolan back, the rest of the Xia family was not, especially since Xia Jianguo was now married.

Xia Xiao didn’t stay outside long, fearing that Li Wenjuan would come looking for her if she didn’t return soon. So, she went back to sleep too.

Little did she expect that the next morning when Xia Xiao woke up and had just finished preparing breakfast, while the sun hadn’t even risen yet, the police came knocking again.

At this time, both Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia had not yet awakened, and today, everyone in the Xia family got up later. So, when the police arrived, Xia Xiao woke up Xia Weiguo and Li Wenjuan.

Xia Weiguo and Li Wenjuan then woke up Xia Baoguo and Xia Jianguo, careful not to disturb the elders.

Before long, everyone learned the news. Zhao Xiaolan was dead.

The Xia family’s reaction aside, Xia Xiao was extremely shocked. She had just seen Zhao Xiaolan the night before and now Zhao Xiaolan was dead.

She had stood outside the Xia family’s house for a while, then returned. Passing by the Zhao family’s place, she had lingered outside their home for a while and then went back.

When dawn broke and the household ventured outside, they discovered Zhao Xiaolan’s body.

It was said that the family was terribly frightened. They had refused to let Zhao Xiaolan in the door, but they had never imagined that she would die, and worse still, die right at their doorstep. This made them feel even more unfortunate.

But no matter what, Zhao Xiaolan was married into their family, and it was no longer about the Xia family or the Zhao family’s affairs.

Xia Fei was utterly devastated, regretting not having spoken nicely to her mother the day before.

At the Liangs, Zhao Yan had been discharged from the hospital and returned home the previous afternoon. Upon hearing of Zhao Xiaolan’s death, she showed no reaction.

On the Zhao family’s side, they were all furious with Zhao Xiaolan. Upon hearing of her death, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were utterly indifferent, with Guan Mingli flatly saying, "She deserved to die a long time ago."

Given what had happened with the Zhao family, Yang He felt even more that they should not stay in the city. The events of that night still cast a shadow over his heart.

At this time, guests had arrived at Yang He’s home, namely Sun Yuhua’s elder brother, Sun Yuqi, who had not returned to the Yue family with his wife after New Year’s Day but had instead gone to Yang He’s house.

"Brother Yang, the other day at the hospital, I bumped into a young woman. She was quite beautiful and seems quite suited for you," Sun Yuqi stated.

Upon hearing Sun Yuqi’s words, Yang He countered, "Why do you always seem to be playing matchmaker for me?"

Sun Yuqi gave a sheepish smile, "Brother Yang, you’re still young, and your wife is no longer with us. It’s nice to have someone close to keep you company and to look after the niece and nephew."

Continuing, Sun Yuqi added, "Besides, with what happened to my sister, I feel like I owe you. I thought the young woman I saw in the hospital would be perfect for you, definitely no worse than my sister."

"Oh, is she your wife’s colleague?" Yang He inquired.

"No, but I made sure to check. She’s the niece of Xia Baoguo, an editor from the ** newspaper."

In fact, Sun Yuqi had been quite taken aback when he saw Xia Xiao in the hospital, but he hadn’t really thought about pairing her with Yang He. However, after going back home and hearing from Sun Mu about Sun Yuhua’s letter and that she had married, Sun Yuqi was enraged.

Yang He had not remarried to this date, and Sun Yuqi felt that Yang He was still hung up on his sister. Now that his sister was married, Sun Yuqi feared that Yang He would be angry, and thus, thought of the Xia Xiao he had met at the hospital and even went back to do some investigating.

After finding out all the details, he couldn’t wait and rushed to Yang He’s home to discuss the matter.

Yang He’s gaze turned sharp, "Surname Xia?"

As soon as Sun Yuqi finished, Yang He’s face fell, "You don’t need to put your mind on such matters. Don’t speak of this again in the future. You’re to put that thought to rest. Don’t mess with anyone surnamed Xia."
