C28 A Snobbish Family

"Dad, don't do this." Seeing that her father's attitude was so bad, Xia Wennuan wanted to stop him, "Dad, he is my friend. Please don't treat him like this."

"Wennuan, don't be ungrateful. Don't let a rich man go. If you want this kind of poor person, I really don't know what you think." Tao Lihua walked over and didn't even look at Mo Shaoqing's car. She just pointed at Mo Shaoqing and said, "This kind of man who doesn't have a few notes on him, what's the use of coming here?"

Tao Lihua's words were filled with sharp bitterness. Xia Wennuan could only bear with her for her father's sake.

However, Tao Lihua still said arrogantly, "Any random beggar on the road is better than him!"

Although Tao Lihua did not like Xia Wennuan and even hated her, she really did not wish for Xia Wennuan to be with this second-hand Xia Li man in front of her.

She also did not wish for her to marry a poor person because if that was the case, it meant that after Xia Wennuan got married, she did not have money to give to her maternal family and also could not help her biological daughter Xia Siying.

If it was not because she was good-looking and hoped that she would marry a rich person, Tao Lihua would have chased Xia Wennuan away a long time ago. Even if she did not drive her away, she would still be tortured to death. Xia Wennuan had such a good skin. Even if she forced her way in, she still had to give the stronghold to a rich man or something. Only then would it be enough!

Xia Siying continued to speak in a cold tone, "Grandma, look, this car is so broken. It actually drove downstairs. Those who do not know would think that our family has poor relatives."

"Wennuan, a woman needs to look into the long term. How can you like poor people?" Grandma sneered.

Xia Wennuan endured the dissatisfaction in her heart.

She knew that this family valued money more than anything else. Her father wanted to chase Mo Shaoqing away because he did not have money and did not drive well.

"Yes, with your condition, you can totally marry a rich person. Although this man is good-looking, he has a shabby aura all over his body. There is no future for you to follow him. Think about it. What was the purpose of a woman's life? To have a good family, to have a husband who can earn money for himself." Xia Siying's aunt heard her mother's words and also began to support.

Her words were filled with all kinds of guns and sticks, and she was belittling Mo Shaoqing everywhere.

"Punk, get lost. Xia Wennuan already has an owner. Even if she marries this old man, he won't marry you!" Tao Lihua spat.

"Auntie, that's enough!" Finally, Xia Wennuan started to retort, "Don't call me a pauper, a pauper. If you want to marry this old man, you can marry him yourself!"

"You... How can you say that about me?"

The usually docile Xia Wennuan actually started to contradict her. This made Tao Lihua a little disbelieving, "Everything I do is for your own good. You actually want me to marry this old man?"

"Heavens! How can there be such a vicious woman. I am really blind. I have raised you for so many years! Xia Tingsheng, look at your daughter. She wants to marry me to the old man in front of you. You don't care? I won't live! I, Tao Lihua, have never been insulted like this in my entire life!"

Xia Wennuan's resistance made Tao Lihua's face lose all its luster. She simply started to act shamelessly and throw a tantrum. All kinds of criticisms were directed at Xia Wennuan, saying that she was not a human and that she still wanted to live.

"Xia Wennuan, my mother has at least made food for you for more than ten years. You have washed clothes for more than ten years, you have no conscience!" Xia Siying saw her mother being scolded and immediately became angry. "Dad, if you don't care about it today, I will go to hell with my mother!"

"Oh my God, Big Sister, your life is really tough. There's such an ingrate in the family, and you even want to find a good wife for her!" His aunt raised her voice to defend Tao Lihua's injustice, "You are just too kind. If it was me, I would not be bothered with her!"

Amidst the denouncement of the relatives, Xia Tingsheng's expression was uglier than a ghost's.

Seeing his son-in-law protecting Xia Wennuan, his grandmother walked forward, "Lihua, come back with me to my mother's house today. It is good that you do not stay in this kind of uncultured family. Divorce with Xia Tingsheng tomorrow. You and Siying, come over to my place to stay!"

"Apologize." Xia Tingsheng's face darkened. He pointed at Xia Wennuan and said, "Apologize to your aunt immediately."

"Dad, I'm not the one who should apologize. It's them, right?" Xia Wennuan's stubborn face refused to apologize. "I won't apologize! It was all them just now... Ah!"

"Pa -"

Before Xia Siying could react, Xia Tingsheng angrily slapped her.

No one expected Xia Tingsheng to suddenly attack.

This slap not only landed on Xia Wennuan's face, but also on Mo Shaoqing's heart. He quickly held Xia Wennuan, who was dizzy from the slap, and called out, "Wennuan!"

However, this action completely angered Xia Tingsheng. He pointed at Xia Wennuan and gave her the final ultimatum. "You drive this wild man away. If you don't drive him away, you can forget about entering this house!"

Xia Wennuan covered her face that had been slapped until it was numb, and revealed a sad and beautiful smile. She looked at her father sadly. "Dad, are you still the father I know? Are you still the father who pulled me along when we were young and brought me out to play? How did you become like this? How can you not tell right from wrong!? "

Xia Wennuan was very sad and her angry eyes could not help but shed tears.

"No matter what, you are not allowed to be with this wild man anymore!" Xia Tingsheng was furious.

"He is not a wild man. His name is Mo Shaoqing. He is my friend!" Xia Wennuan cried and shouted, "I forbid you to say that to him!"

When she saw Xia Wennuan standing in front of her, protecting him like a hen protecting a chicken, Mo Shaoqing's heart felt soft. His gaze was gentle and painful as he looked at Xia Wennuan's side profile. He couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

This little girl, who he had always thought was as weak as a rabbit, was actually protecting him by his side. For him, she actually dared to say harsh words to his father.

However, he had to admit that her appearance was really beautiful, so cute, and would also cause people to feel endless love for her.

"Let's go." Mo Shaoqing looked at Xia Wennuan, who was on the verge of collapse, with a heartache. He pulled her along and left.

Xia Tingsheng held Mo Shaoqing's hand, which was about to open the door, and asked, "Where do you want to take my daughter?"

"Let go." Mo Shaoqing quickly pulled his hand back and glanced at Xia Tingsheng with disgust. His extremely cold voice carried a strong sense of danger. "This has nothing to do with you."

Xia Tingsheng was so scared that he let go of his hand. By the time he reacted, Mo Shaoqing's car was already far away.

In the end, Xia Tingsheng could only roar at the butt of Mo Shaoqing's car unwillingly. "Don't come back after you leave! Don't come back if you have the ability!"

There was such a big commotion in the neighborhood that many residents who were watching TV after dinner were arguing.

The neighbors stood on the balcony and pointed at the big family downstairs.

A pair of neighbors who knew about it even started to chat. "Xia Tingsheng has really committed a sin. His elder daughter is already 27 years old. She just doesn't want people to have boyfriends and insisted on finding rich people to marry!"

"That's right. I have never seen such a snobbish family. This Xia Tingsheng is a beast. He hopes that his daughter will marry a rich man and commit a sin!" Another neighbor nodded in agreement.

"I think the one who committed the most sins is Xia Tingsheng's wife. She has a greedy and vain face, and she even carries her chin to look at people every day. She's not a good person!"

...

Although the Xia family did not hear this conversation, they saw that many people had walked out because of their noise and were planning to see what was going on.

Xia Tingsheng also felt embarrassed and hurriedly urged his family to hurry home.

The Xia family's relatives looked at each other and treated it as a joke.

The happiest person was none other than Xia Siying. She could not wait to chase Xia Wennuan away so that she would not get angry at her at home every day. When she went out, she would even hinder her making friends.

Xia Wennuan sat in Mo Shaoqing's car and cried sadly. She did not ask where Mo Shaoqing was going to take her. She just covered her face and kept crying.

Mo Shaoqing drove the car to a river and pulled Xia Wennuan, who was about to stop crying, out of the car. "Don't cry."

"Wuuu... Wuuu..." Xia Wennuan also knew that crying was not good, especially in front of Mo Shaoqing. But she could not help but feel uncomfortable.

Although she knew her father's goal all along, as well as his stepmother's incitement, she had never felt so sad and sad like today.

"Be good, don't cry." Lightly pulling Xia Wennuan into his arms, Mo Shaoqing felt his heart ache as he caressed her face that had been slapped.

He knew why Xia Wennuan was like this, because even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as him had never met a snobbish family like her.

He also finally understood why Xia Wennuan did not let him send her to the door when she sent her back earlier.

Those snobbish relatives were too scary. This was a huge disaster for Xia Wennuan.

"Sorry..." Leaning against Mo Shaoqing's chest, Xia Wennuan sobbed and shouted, "I'm sorry, Shaoqing, I'm sorry..."

"Silly, you didn't let me down. I should have let you down. If it wasn't for me today, you wouldn't have been beaten by your father."

Mo Shaoqing caressed Xia Wennuan's hair and continued gently, "You don't have to apologize to me."

"No, it was not your fault. It was me!" Xia Wennuan sobbed silently, "I shouldn't have asked you to send me back. I even made you laugh at by my family."

When she thought of what had happened just now, Xia Wennuan felt very guilty in her heart.

Mo Shaoqing shouldn't have received such treatment. He didn't do anything.

"Alright, you have finished apologizing. Can you stop crying now? I don't want to see you cry, and I don't want you to cry because of me." Although it felt good to be protected, Mo Shaoqing still couldn't bear to let Xia Wennuan blame him like this. " If you don't cry, I will forgive you."

"Thank you." Xia Wennuan bit her lips and looked at Mo Shaoqing with blurry tears. Under his comforting voice, she gradually stopped crying. "Thank you. You don't blame me."

"I also thank you. Thank you for protecting me." Mo Shaoqing raised the corner of his mouth and reached out to wipe the tears off Xia Wennuan's face. "So we are even, okay?"

"Okay." Xia Wennuan looked at Mo Shaoqing's gentle and handsome face and nodded blankly.

The two of them just stood by the car like this for a long time. Mo Shaoqing kept hugging Xia Wennuan as if he was reluctant to let go. He cherished and protected her.
