Xu Li couldn't hold back and rushed towards Xia Wenping and Li Shujuan.
Her eyes were red, her movements wild, as if she wanted to devour them.
Indeed, at this moment, Xu Li wished she could tear Xia Wenping and Li Shujuan to shreds.
Her rage had consumed her reason.
Xia Wentao's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Though he hadn't moved, his murderous intent was unconcealed.
Xia Taishan, unable to maintain his composure any longer, roared, "Enough, stop!"
"I am not dead yet!"
This shout stunned Xu Li.
Yes, as long as Xia Taishan was alive, he would forever be the patriarch of the Xia family.
No matter how small or large a matter in the Xia family, it revolved around him.
Xu Li, with red eyes and a trembling voice, said, "Old Master, since you say so, then I, Xu Li, demand justice today. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Xia Taishan fell silent, then nodded.
A short while later, Xia Bingqing and Chen Fan arrived... As the saying goes, enemies meeting makes their eyes red with hatred. Xia Wentao and Xu Li nearly lunged forward.
"Grandfather..." Xia Bingqing deliberately ignored Xia Wentao and his wife.
Xia Taishan didn't say much and nodded.
As for Chen Fan, he remained relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
Xia Taishan's gaze fell upon Chen Fan, and he sighed in his heart. This fellow was truly a troublemaker!
However, he still asked, "Chen Fan, did you beat Minghao?"
Chen Fan replied, "I did!"
As soon as he said this, Xia Wentao and Xu Li's eyes turned red, wishing they could tear Chen Fan apart on the spot.
Xia Bingxue also chimed in, "Grandfather, why are you being so verbose? I already showed you the video just now. The evidence is conclusive, it was him. Administer family punishment directly!"
"That's right, family punishment!"
All the Xia family members who depended on Xia Wentao's family spoke up.
Soon, Chen Fan became the target of everyone's arrows, the object of the Xia family's denunciation.
"Old Master, he has already admitted it himself. Please deal with him quickly!"
"Yes, don't hesitate!"
"If he dares to hit young master Minghao today, he will attack you all tomorrow. He is too arrogant!"
The living room instantly became incredibly noisy, like a marketplace.
Xia Taishan could no longer bear it. He raised his hand and smashed his teacup to the ground. With a clatter, the sound of shattering glass stunned everyone present.
"What are you all shouting about? I am not dead yet!"
"Don't I have the judgment myself?"
He stood up.
His gaze swept across everyone present with deep intensity.
Seeing the old master's great anger, the Xia family members dared not speak further.
"Grandfather, you just recovered. Please do not get angry..."
Xia Bingqing said with concern.
"Hmph... Crocodile tears, false sympathy!" Xia Bingxue sneered from the side.
"You..." Xia Bingqing was angered, wishing she could rush over and slap Xia Bingxue a few times. How could her mouth be so venomous?
Xia Taishan paid no attention to their bickering and asked again, "Chen Fan, why did you beat Minghao?"
Chen Fan replied, "Old Master, everything boils down to reason. Xia Minghao was the one who acted shamelessly first. Someone failed to discipline their son, and I was merely helping to discipline him!"
This statement insulted both Xia Wentao and his wife.
The couple, already furious, became even more incensed upon hearing Chen Fan's words. In unison, they exclaimed, "Chen Fan, you country bumpkin! If the Old Master wasn't backing you, we could kill you in minutes!"
"Old Master, at this point, are you still going to protect him?"
Xia Wentao and Xu Li roared furiously, shifting their attack towards Xia Taishan.
"Please give us an answer immediately!"
Seeing the attitude of Xia Wentao and his wife, Xia Taishan's old face stretched long, and his gaze darkened. "In the Xia family, who has the final say?"
