Xia Wentao, like discarding trash, poured out a torrent of words.
Upon hearing Xia Wentao’s account, Xia Taishan’s old face registered unprecedented shock.
He knew about the terrifying reputation of the Yang family from the provincial capital!
“You… are you telling the truth?”
Xia Taishan asked.
“At this hour, would I joke about the safety of the Xia family?”
Xia Wentao felt a pang of annoyance. Was he still protecting them at this point?
“If it’s true, then the matter is rather troublesome!”
Xia Taishan’s expression turned grim.
“Dad, you know how powerful the Yang family is, don't you?”
“They can crush us like ants with ease!”
Xia Wentao shuddered with fear at this thought.
After all, they had provoked a behemoth this time!
“Young Master Yang wants us to get rid of Chen Fan!”
“If Chen Fan doesn’t die, then all of us in the Xia family will perish!”
Xia Wentao was not exaggerating; he spoke the truth.
Xia Taishan’s heart trembled, his lips twitching. “Give me Young Master Yang’s contact information!”
“Alright…”
Soon, Xia Taishan dialed Yang Qing’s number. He forced a smile onto his old face and said, “Young Master Yang, I am Xia Taishan, the elder of the Xia family…”
Yang Qing said coldly, “I don’t care who you are, I only want the final result!”
“Chen Fan must die!”
“If Chen Fan doesn’t die, then your fifty-plus Xia family members will be buried with him!”
He delivered the stern warning and hung up.
Xia Taishan stood frozen, speechless for a long time. After a while, he finally said, “We’ve… we’ve caused trouble, real trouble!”
“Quick, call Chen Fan and Bingqing back!”
Xia Wentao nodded, and as he turned, his gaze was veiled. He wished they would die immediately. Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity?
A wicked grin spread across his face!
Using the entire strength of the Xia family to deal with those two would be a simple matter!
He then dialed Xia Bingqing’s number, his voice laced with malice. “Xia Bingqing, do you know your country bumpkin fiancé has caused trouble? I’m telling you, he offended Young Master Yang from the provincial capital, and now Yang is explicitly demanding his life. What do you think we should do about this! Also, Grandpa wants you two to come back immediately!”
These words struck Xia Bingqing’s mind like a sudden storm.
She froze on the spot, her mind buzzing.
Wasn’t Sister Hong the one leading the charge with Young Master Yang?
How could Chen Fan be blamed?
Nevertheless, she called Chen Fan, and they returned to the Xia family together.
By this time, all members of the Xia family had gathered. Their gazes were unfriendly, like sharp knives stabbing at Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing.
In the Xia family, they had become the target of universal condemnation!
They were now objects of “public execution”!
Xia Wenping and his wife had also not expected things to escalate to this point!
Their faces were grim!
Li Shujuan said angrily, “Xia Bingqing, you were acting up before, aren’t you going to stop now?”
“You’ve disappointed me greatly!”
Before Xia Bingqing could speak, the other members of the Xia family erupted as if they had swallowed gunpowder.
“Xia Bingqing, your cheap fiancé offended Young Master Yang. What do you think should be done about it?”
“Young Master Yang said he wants that dog’s life, by name!”
“Xia Bingqing, you truly are a jinx! If it weren’t for you, how could the Xia family have offended Young Master Yang!”
“Harbinger of doom, you wicked woman, wicked woman…”
“How could the Xia family be burdened with someone as useless as you!”
Xia Bingqing and Chen Fan became the objects of shame and attack.
