Xia Chuyi looked at Grandma Xia with icy eyes.
In Grandma Xia’s eyes, the deep-rooted favorite had always been her eldest grandson, Xia Chengzu, the obedient one. Xia Chengjia, the third grandson, was also liked because he was sweet-tongued.
Only Xia Chengzong, who had been stubborn since childhood, was disliked by Grandma Xia.
As he grew older, he had mixed with the wrong crowd, which made Grandma Xia feel even more ashamed; she felt nothing but disdain whenever she spoke of him.
"So just because second brother was once a gangster, in your eyes, he is capable of all evils?" Xia Chuyi spoke coldly to Grandma Xia, "Without asking for reasons or understanding the circumstances, do you just assume second brother only does bad things and that Xia Chengzu certainly does not?"
"Ha, what a ’family’!" Old grievances and new resentments surged in Xia Chuyi’s heart at that moment.
"With ’family’ like you, I’d rather be a beggar in the streets!"
"At least a beggar won’t be sold out by their own family!"
Xia Chuyi’s words cut like knives! Those present couldn’t help but feel enraged.
For a moment, Grandma Xia and Aunt Xia were overwhelmed by her presence and couldn’t speak.
It just so happened that someone came in to report something at that moment.
The person whispered to Xia Chuyi who nodded and said, "I know now."
After a brief pause, Grandma Xia and Aunt Xia regained their composure.
"Chuyi, are you really so heartless that you want to watch your big brother go to prison?" Aunt Xia cried out in tears.
This was her playing the victim card.
"Going to prison?" Xia Chuyi said coldly.
She scoffed, then added, "Murder is met with death. He might even get shot."
Boom, the word "shot" struck like a bolt from the blue, turning Grandma Xia and Aunt Xia’s faces ashen.
Aunt Xia could no longer care about scheming and genuinely knelt down before Xia Chuyi, crying, "Chuyi, please save your big brother!"
After kneeling to her, she also knelt before Huo Shiqian, "Sir, please, my Chengzu is Chuyi’s blood brother. I beg you to save him, save him!"
Next to her, Grandma Xia, also prepared to kneel like Aunt Xia, was quickly held back by Li Zitao.
Xia Chuyi scoffed again, and stepped forward, standing in front of Huo Shiqian, saying, "You asking him is useless; my partner listens to everything I say!"
She stated it strongly.
Huo Shiqian looked calm and remained silent, seemingly consenting to her words.
Li Zitao: Little sister-in-law is so formidable!
"Since ancient times, murder has been met with death, a righteous decree by heaven and earth," Xia Chuyi spoke slowly, her words sharp as a knife.
Aunt Xia, frightened by her words, fell to the ground, her face pale and ashen.
Then, she got up and struggling, said, "No, no, Chengzu might not be the killer!"
As if trying to convince herself.
Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, is that so? Then let’s wait for the police to clarify things."
Saying this, she turned and pulled Huo Shiqian, leaving the police station.
Aunt Xia and Grandma Xia, concerned about Xia Chengzu’s situation, did not chase after them at that moment.
Maybe, maybe Chengzu hadn’t killed anyone?
Keeping this thought, they decided to stay and wait for the investigation results.
Outside the police station, almost instantly, Xia Chuyi dropped her rage and, turning around, hooked her arm through Huo Shiqian’s, saying, "Brother Shi Qian, don’t be upset about what I just said; I was just blocking my grandma and aunt."
Huo Shiqian glanced at her, "I’m not upset."
His large hand covered the back of her head, pulling her into his embrace.
In such a family, his little lady must have suffered a lot.
