"It's good for Xia Guang to be back! He should give our family an explanation! So many lives were endangered and there was so much trouble caused by his three sons! You'd better have asked him to come back! See how I'll teach him a lesson when he comes back!" Xia Mao said furiously.
As the eldest brother, he was allowed to discipline his younger brothers. Although Xia Guang did not cause any trouble for Xia Mao's family, his three sons were all very disappointing. Xia Xing's partner almost forced Xia Wen to marry her and now these two remaining beastly creatures even wanted to harm his grandchildren. If he let Xia Guang off, he would be letting down his own family members!
They knew better than anyone else how dangerous it was for Xia Fan and Xia Xing that day. If Qiao Mei had not recognized that the handkerchief belonged to Xia Yan, the two children would probably be nowhere to be found by now. No one would know if they were dead or alive!
"How… how can all of you be so cold-blooded!" Zhou Luo said.
"We're cold-blooded?" Qiao Mei let Zhou Luo look at her for a long time before continuing, "If I'm cold-blooded, you won't even be able to see Xia Yan and Xia Lu alive now. All you see will be their corpses!"
"You! Dirty wh.o.r.e! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Zhou Luo looked crazy as she took out a fruit knife from her pocket and rushed towards Qiao Mei. Luo Yu could not stop her in time, so he pounced on her instead. As they struggled with each other, she slashed his arm with the knife.
Xia Zhe and Xia Wen quickly went forward to hold Zhou Luo down. Xia He immediately went to make a call to Zou Ming. Not long after, Zhou Luo was taken away by the police.
The wound on Luo Yu's arm was not deep and looked like a surface scratch. Xia Mao gave him a week's leave to go home and have a good rest. No matter how minor the injury was, he must take good care of it and could not be too careless. No one knew whether her knife was tainted. Xu Lan even instructed Luo Yu to go to the hospital for a teta.n.u.s shot and to take good care.
"She should be sent to a mental hospital! She's crazy!" Xia He said angrily.
Qiao Mei shook her head and said, "Better to send her to Zou Ming. Let him deal with it in accordance with the law and lock her up."
How could she be allowed to go to such a relaxing place like the mental hospital to enjoy life? She must pay the price for all her evil deeds. It would be best if she was locked away for the rest of her life.
Mo Zhu was not able to sit still in the car. Even after she got home, she was still very worried about the safety of the Xia family members. She wondered if that crazy woman would hurt them.
The Xia family's status was quite special. If that crazy woman hurt anyone in the Xia family, the Xia family could only subdue her, but they could not fight back. Otherwise, someone might make an issue out of it and make it sound like they were out to hurt commoners. They had made too many enemies because of the position they took on many matters, so they had to tread carefully all the time.
"Mo Zhu, you've been pacing in front of me for half an hour. Please sit down and calm yourself down," Liu Shu said.
"I can't… I can't calm down. I'm worried that something will happen to them. Qiao Mei is pregnant, what if she's traumatized by it? I heard from Xia He that Qiao Mei's current pregnancy has been a difficult one. Nothing must happen to Qiao Mei," Mo Zhu said nervously.
Liu Shu, on the other hand, did not think that the girl named Qiao Mei would be affected by any negative emotions. That kid had a determined character and was definitely not the kind of delicate woman who needed protection.
"I'll give the Xia family a call later so that you can feel more a.s.sured," Liu Shu said.
"No! Call them now! Call the Xia family now!" Mo Zhu said agitatedly as she grabbed Liu Shu's hands.
Mo Chou frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Zhu, let go of your mother. You've caused her hands to turn red. Have you forgotten about what I taught you?"
Mo Zhu quickly let go of Liu Shu's hands. She was taught to remain calm no matter what problem she encountered. It was always a mistake to react when feeling panicked. That would only make the situation worse.
"I understand, Father. Let's call them tomorrow. The Xia family is probably still dealing with those matters now," Mo Zhu lowered her head and said dejectedly.
Early the next morning, before Mo Zhu could even make a call to the Xia family, Xia Wen, Xia He and Qiao Mei came for a visit.
"Ding-Dong!"
Mo Chou walked towards the door, wearing an ap.r.o.n and wiping his hands as he said, "Coming, coming! Who is it!"
"Uncle Mo, it's Xia Wen!" Xia Wen shouted.
Mo Chou opened the door and everyone was a little surprised. He had given them the impression that he was the refined and learned type who was engrossed with literary works, so they did not expect him to be the one who did the cooking at home.
