Xia Bingqing returned home.
In the living room, Xia Wenping and Li Shujuan were seated, both with very serious expressions.
Seeing them, Xia Bingqing couldn't help but freeze, "Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"
Li Shujuan said sternly, "Sit down!"
Xia Bingqing sat on the sofa, confused.
"What's going on?"
Xia Wenping remained silent, his face taut.
Li Shujuan began, "Mom needs to talk to you about Chen Fan!"
So that's it.
"What's there to talk about Chen Fan?"
"Don't speak, listen to me..." Li Shujuan interrupted Xia Bingqing and continued, "Chen Fan, no matter how you look at him, is a country bumpkin. He doesn't deserve to be our family's son-in-law!"
"You should understand what I mean!"
"Mom hopes you will break up with Chen Fan immediately!"
"Do you know that such a good-for-nothing will only hold you back?"
These words came like a machine gun.
They caught Xia Bingqing completely off guard.
She was stunned.
If it were at the beginning, she would have believed Li Shujuan's words without question!
But after getting to know him during this period, she discovered that Chen Fan was not a simple person!
She also gradually understood her grandfather's intentions.
"Mom..."
"Don't speak, listen to me!" Li Shujuan continued, "Your grandfather looked down on our family from the start. In his eyes, your father was like an outsider. Do you know why? It's because that old man felt your father wasn't like him, so he treated him with disdain, which made his personality become what it is now—weak and incompetent, becoming a laughingstock of the entire Xia family... Now your grandfather still wants to suppress you, and Mom absolutely will not agree. You don't need to have any worries about him!"
"I will explain it to him clearly!"
"Now, Mom just wants to know your thoughts!"
Xia Wenping couldn't speak, only sighing.
Xia Bingqing hadn't expected Li Shujuan to say such things. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mom... some things are not as they appear to us. I have confidence in Chen Fan!"
Hearing this, Li Shujuan's expression changed instantly, "Xia Bingqing, how can you have confidence in a country bumpkin? Chen Fan has no money, no power, nothing. He's just trash!"
"How can you have confidence in trash?"
What Li Shujuan was saying now was exceptionally unpleasant.
"I command you, get rid of him!"
Xia Bingqing was speechless. She tried her best not to get angry with Li Shujuan, "Mom, I hope you won't say such things anymore! I have absolute confidence in Chen Fan. Also, whether I can defeat Xia Wentao has a lot to do with Chen Fan. You shouldn't interfere in our affairs!"
"Xia Bingqing, Chen Fan is just a country bumpkin, what can he do for you? Can you stop being so naive? Don't harbor illusions about a country bumpkin?" Li Shujuan was anxious, so angry she beat her chest and stamped her feet. Had all her efforts today been like playing the lute to a cow?
"You... are you trying to anger me to death?"
Xia Bingqing didn't want to listen to Li Shujuan's nagging anymore. She said, "Dad, Mom, I know what I'm doing regarding Chen Fan, you don't need to worry about it!"
"Also, this time, I am confident I can defeat Xia Wentao!"
"You..."
Li Shujuan was so angry she couldn't speak, trembling, and stomped her foot fiercely.
"You come back here!"
Xia Wentao sighed, "Why don't we... just listen to Bingqing?"
"Listen to what? What do you understand?" Li Shujuan gave Xia Wenping no face, letting out a roar of a lioness, scolding Xia Wenping profusely.
