CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 489: SISTERS REUNITE

Xia Xiao’s family was shocked; they left without even entering the door—it was so sudden that even Weilin didn’t know how they left.

Yuhua glared at Zhonghong resentfully, "You did this on purpose."

"Haha," Zhonghong started laughing, "Yes, I did it on purpose. What about it, are you angry, furious?"

"You’ve gone too far," Yuhua said, her eyes red with fury, absolutely loathing Zhonghong.

"I’ve gone too far? What about yourself? You had a perfectly good family, but you just had to entangle with my dad and insisted on being my stepmother. Yuhua, you disgust me."

Zhonghong had felt indifferent toward Yuhua before, but since Yuhua became her stepmother, her feelings had turned into extreme aversion toward a woman who occupied her mother’s place, especially because it was Yuhua.

Zhonghong, after saying this, immediately took her child back to their room; Yuhua couldn’t handle it and rushed back to her room to throw herself onto the bed and wept violently.

Today, Zhonghong had fully exposed Yuhua and harshly trampled her dignity in front of the Gao family.

At that moment, Yuhua dared not look at Jiazhi’s expression, but she saw her daughter’s shock and deep pain that tormented her heart.

Everything was wrong, so wrong.

Yuhua cried uncontrollably; what could she do? She was getting older, and if she left Yang He, where could she go?

Returning to the Gao family was impossible, going back to her parent’s home even less likely. Yuhua was utterly devastated.

"Grandma, you haven’t washed your clothes yet." At this moment, Zhongguo’s son knocked on Yuhua’s room door.

Yuhua paused, then, after a moment, gathered herself and went back out to continue washing clothes, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

The departing Gao family members didn’t know what to say; everyone was silent for a while. Even knowing that Zhonghong had done it deliberately, what could be done?

Toward Yuhua, they didn’t want to say anything anymore.

"Big brother, don’t think too much. Find me a new sister-in-law," Jiaxing could only say this.

Jiazhi really had no such thoughts now; he just wanted to focus on raising his daughter well in the future.

Seeing Yuhua today, Jiazhi just sighed softly, unlike the others. He also knew about Zhonghong’s father’s background. If this was what Yuhua wanted, he had nothing to say.

Indeed, Jiaxing and Xia Xiao had both guessed that Yuhua might have married Yang He. Knowing Zhonghong’s motives, they went with the flow at the time, wanting to let the family see Yuhua, who was already married.

But that call of "grandma" still shocked both Jiaxing and Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao felt deeply emotional inside; today, the most embarrassed person was Yuhua. And with Zhonghong, such a hostile stepdaughter, Yuhua’s days in the Yang family were probably not going to be easy.

"Grandpa, Grandma, big sister, brother-in-law, we are here." A long call came early in the morning as Xia Xiao was already preparing breakfast in the kitchen and went out to greet them as she heard.

The older couple from the Xia family had gone out for morning exercises early, and Jiaxing was already in the yard teaching Feiyang and Feiyue martial arts, while Feiyi, Feiteng, and Spirit were still asleep.

Xia Xiao came out to greet them and saw Xia Jing, Xia Hong, Xia Lin, and even Xia Hua had come.

"Why so early?" Xia Xiao asked with a smiling face, "Where are mom and dad and big brother and sister-in-law?"

"I was eager to see my elder sister, so mom, dad, and my elder brother and sister-in-law will come a bit later," Xia Hong said as she came over to hug Xia Xiao.

Among the Xia sisters, only Xia Hong was unmarried. It was heard that she previously dated someone from the Capital, but for some unknown reason, they broke up.

After getting back to the city, Xia Hong never mentioned that person again.

Xia Fei, on the other hand, didn’t return. She and Azati both attended a university in Region X and chose to stay there.

Xia Wen and her husband did manage to return and studied at the same school as Gao Jiazhi with excellent results; Xia Wei and Xia Kang also both got into university.

It could be said that the Xia Family’s children, except for Xia Jianguo’s son, Xia Xin, who was still young, and Xia Hua, who had just taken the college entrance examination in June and was waiting for the results, had all been accepted into universities, shocking the local community.

Nowadays, wherever Xia Weiguo and Li Wenjuan went, people familiar with them greeted them warmly. Everyone thought highly of how Xia Weiguo and Li Wenjuan had raised so many college students.

Xia Rong was also attending university and had given up his job, after all, graduates were assigned jobs after university.

The children of the Xia Family were fortunate and had caught a good time; a whole nest of university students was quite eye-catching.

Only Wu Manni hadn’t been admitted. She felt somewhat disappointed as everyone else had gotten in, but she had missed by just a few points, which was a pity.

This year, Wu Manni had planned to try again but unexpectedly got pregnant before the exam, and due to a moment of carelessness, almost lost the baby and gave up.

Xia Xiao was unaware of these details, so when the sisters went to the kitchen to help, Xia Xiao exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the news, "How come I didn’t hear about it?"

"Mom didn’t want to bother you with this while you were busy. Why worry you unnecessarily?" Xia Jing said.

"How is my sister-in-law doing now, and the baby?" Xia Xiao was worried.

"She’s doing well, three months along and stable now," Xia Lin said.

Xia Xiao sighed in relief, glad that all was well; however, she could not help but think that opening a clothing factory and store, and involving her mom and sister-in-law, might now be inappropriate.

Now that her sister-in-law was pregnant again, her mom would definitely be busier, and with that thought, Xia Xiao temporarily put aside those plans.

"Xiao Hong, have you met anyone suitable at school?" Xia Xiao asked Xia Hong.

"Sister, you better persuade her quickly, mom and dad are so anxious." Xia Jing said.

Xia Lin also nodded, "Yeah, there are lots of people who want to introduce someone, but our third sister doesn’t like anyone. She even avoids coming home during the holidays, staying away instead."

"I’m not interested," Xia Hong said.

Xia Xiao looked at Xia Hong, wondering if heartbreak was the cause. But Xia Hong was now twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and continuing to wait might not find her the luck that Yang Xuehua had in meeting Yu Shijie.

"Xiao Hong, we are closest sisters; if there is anything on your mind, you need to share it so we can help solve it together," Xia Xiao still wanted to know what exactly had happened between Xia Hong and her partner, why they had split, and why Xia Hong avoided mentioning it.

"Eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, it’s really nothing much. If it didn’t work out, we split. It’s not as complicated as you think," Xia Hong shook her head, feeling somewhat bitter.

"If you don’t want to talk about it, then never mind," Xia Jing was annoyed. She had asked Xia Fei, but even Xia Fei didn’t know the details of Xia Hong’s breakup.

"It’s actually nothing significant. Just before the college exam, his family wanted him back home. We were already having conflicts then. We broke up and got back together three times. He stayed for me and even talked about attending a university in City S with me, but he ended up going to Capital University instead."
