CHAPTER 745: CHAPTER 745 DESPERATELY BLAMING ONESELF

"I’ve always known about the friction between Mom and ... the elder aunt," Xia Chengzong said.

"The root cause of what happened today is entirely my fault," Xia Chengzong’s tone was particularly frustrated as he ran his fingers through his hair. "If I hadn’t gone to the Capital City and stayed in Ling County, she ... that is the elder aunt, definitely wouldn’t have laid a hand on Mom!"

Hearing her brother’s self-blame, Xia Chuyi quickly spoke, "Brother, I understand what you mean, but this really isn’t your fault!"

Xia Chuyi said earnestly, "Brother, when you talk about the root cause, are you talking about the adoption?"

"If that is the case, then tracing back to the origins, the one who really made the mistake, was me." Xia Chuyi looked at Xia Chengzong and said solemnly, "Initially, it was me who suggested your adoption. If there was a mistake, I am the one at fault."

"No, it’s not your fault!" Upon hearing Xia Chuyi taking responsibility, Xia Chengzong quickly said, "It’s my problem, I didn’t handle things well!"

Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "Brother, if this isn’t my fault, then it isn’t yours either."

Xia Chengzong, hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, immediately wanted to speak.

"Brother, let me finish first!" Xia Chuyi raised her voice slightly and spoke very sternly, "The issues between the elders didn’t accumulate in just a day or two."

"Yes, perhaps we younger ones didn’t handle it appropriately, but regretting now is useless since it has already happened."

"With things having been settled, we should rather keep our eyes on the future."

"And fortunately, things are not severe, and it’s not irreparable," Xia Chuyi reassured Xia Chengzong.

With her words reaching this point, Xia Chengzong couldn’t reiterate his fault anymore, and could only say to himself, "I’m sorry."

Seeing Xia Chengzong like this, Xia Chuyi knew he was still distressed and quietly shook her head.

"Come on, Brother, let’s go back to Heshan Village and see how elder aunt is doing," Xia Chuyi said helplessly.

By the time they reached Heshan Village, the Xia Family.

Before they fully entered the yard, they heard arguing coming from the main house.

"You always say I sit around doing nothing at home, that I’m a failure? What about you? You crippled that widow from the second son’s family and cost the family a lot of money..."

"How does it matter if I hit someone, if I hit that widow? She took away my son, so what if I hit her once?"

"You..."

Clearly, the loud arguments inside were between Uncle Xia and the elder aunt.

Xia Chuyi glanced at Xia Chengzong next to her.

At that moment, Xia Chengzong’s face was ashen, and he remained silent.

Xia Chuyi quietly shook her head, not saying much, just accompanying Xia Chengzong as they stood quite a long time at the gate of the Xia family’s yard.

After a while, Aunt Xia and the elder aunt finished their quarrel, and they saw Uncle Xia come out from the house, still cursing.

Uncle Xia had just stepped outside when he saw Xia Chuyi and the two of them.

"You?" Seeing the two, Uncle Xia’s first reaction was surprise.

Then quickly remembering something, he shouted, "You two little beasts, what are you doing here?"

"Have you not had your fill of laughter?" Uncle Xia said sarcastically.

Hearing Uncle Xia’s remarks, Xia Chuyi and Xia Chengzong both slightly frowned.
