100 years before Divorce - Chapter 207
The living room in Xia Manor seems lively and packed right now. Wen Du Jiao, Wen Rou, Pang Ze Tian, He Jin Nan, Xia Xiang, and even Ji Cun Xi are here today.
Guan Xian did a great job in putting everyone Xia Sha’s hate together.
“Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!” All of them seems to revolt and tried to said something when Xia Sha arrived.
Xia Sha was stunned when she finds them tied to a chair. Not to mention the duck tape is covering their mouth and a movie play on the television.
Wait, Ji Cun Xi?
Guan Xian’s lips twitched when he finds his best friend sit among the ‘conspirator gang.’
“What are you doing here?” Xia Sha raised her eyebrow at Ji Cun Xi as she approached him and untied the rope from his hand.
“I come here to give moral support for Guan Xian. Why do you think I would come here? For you?!” Ji Cun Xi replied fiercely right after Xia Sha remove the duck tape from his mouth.
“Ah…” Xia Sha nodded her head slightly.
Ji Cun Xi harrumphed. He regrets believing Guan Xian needed help in the group chat. Look at his useless best friend trying to hold his laughter. He does not even bother to help him!
“What got into your maid mind? Is this how your house welcomes a guest?” Ji Cun Xi furrowed his eyebrow at Xia Sha. Then he moves his glare at Guan Xian.
“Pfft! Peace out!” Guan Xian pressed his lips to hold his laughter.
Xia Sha: “…”
Xia Sha was speechless. Judging from the way it looks, it must be her father’s order for the main to tied and duck-tape everyone that comes. She hissed and did not bother to explain. Instead, she asked the maid to call his father downstairs.
Xia Sha ignored all the confused and furious gaze that cast upon her. Like an ice princess, she quietly waited for everyone to calm down before asked the maid to open the duck tape on Xia Xiang and He Ji Nan’s mouth.
“We will start this- What should I call this?” Xia Sha tapped her slender fingertips on her chin, trying to think of a suitable name.
“LET ME GO! LET ME GO!” He Jin Nan panicked as he tried to break free. Xia Sha turned to him and snapped her finger.
“I like that idea, First stage of retribution. Letting go of the past by acknowledging mistakes. Let’s look at this,” Xia Sha smiles and changed the channel on the television. There’s an old picture of a young woman appeared.
Xia Sha deliberately walked to Pang Ze Tian and rested her hand on both of her shoulders from behind. She lowered her body and placed her head beside her, “Could you recognize this girl?”
“Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!” Pang Ze Tian tried to rebuke. Xia Sha watches Pang Ze Tian’s eyes bulging red and terror as she glances at Xia Xiang. Xia Sha smiled knowingly and patted Pang Ze Tian’s back.
“Tsk! Young Lady, what did you want from me?! I’ll tell you everything that you want to know. Just let me go!” He Jin Nan confidently shouted.
“HMPH! HMPH!” Pang Ze Tian seems to curse He Jin Nan with her unclear yell and glaring eyes.
Xia Sha turned to He Jin Nan with a kind smile, but one could see constant coldness and violence appear in her eyes. She holds into the remote control and grin at He Jin Nan.
“That’s a great help. Uncle He, could you tell me the story between this picture?”
He Jin Nan arrogantly glances at Pang Ze Tian. He smiles and nods his head.
“Of course I knew. Pang Ze Tian and I grew up together in Dong village before. That woman is Pang Ze Tian’s mother. I heard she used to be someone’s mistress before she moves into our villages. You could guess the rest,” He Jin Nan turned to Pang Ze Tian, showing a mocking smirked at her.
“Nohmpsh!” Pang Ze Tian screamed out frustratedly as she turned in He Jin Nan’s direction like a riled-up wild animal.
“Aunty Pang, do you want to say something? You seem to disagree with Uncle He’s testimony. Then should we find an opinion from a third person? What about Mr. Wen? Do you have something to said?”
“HMPH! HMPH! HMPH!” Pang Ze Tian glared at Wen Du Jiao that seems to compliment the situation.
Both Wen Du Jiao and Xia Sha ignored Pang Ze Tian’s complaints. They stared at each other for a long time before Wen Du Jiao nods his head slowly. He lowered his head when Xia Sha asked the maid to open the duck tape on his mouth.
“Pang Ze Tian is my step sister. We grew up together until her mother tried to poison my mother,” Wen Du Jiao explained in a small volume. He looks ashamed when Wen Rou tried to talk to him.
Xia Sha’s eyes dart back and forth to Wen Du Jiao and Wen Rou. She could not help but laugh as she walked to Wen Rou and open her duck-tape too.
“Surprise! I guess you just found out about this matter too, huh?” Xia Sha taunted Wen Rou in excitement.
“Xia Sha, you bitch! Unreleased me! Don’t act like a coward,” Wen Rou finally could vociferate her frustration.
“Coward? Do you think stealing somebody else’s face is not an act of cowardice? Huh? Do you even know who is the biggest coward in this place?” Xia Sha sneered and turned her back at Wen Rou.
Wen Rou’s face has changed now. Under Zheng Shuang’s request, Xia Sha makes Wen Rou undergo another plastic surgery and returned her old face to her. She did not resemble Zheng Shuang anymore. But Xia Sha still disgusted upon seeing her face.
“Hasn’t you realized that the biggest coward in this place is your father?” Xia Sha insinuated as she glances at Wen Du Jiao, whose face turned pale now.
For the first time, Pang Ze Tian did not let out her unclear screaming. She looked at Wen Du Jiao with the same amount of disgust Xia Sha had for her.
“Bullshit! Why would you blame my father for,”
PLAK!
“Can you shut up? Do you think it’s already your turn to confess your sin?” Xia Sha shouted after she slaps Wen Rou hard.
“Gasp!” Wen Du Jiao’s and Wen Rou’s eyes darkened, but none of them dared to voice a complaint.
“Dad!” Wen Rou called out her dad for help as tears welled up in her eyes. She looks so frustrated and angry because she could not do anything right now.
“Wen Rou, calm down for a moment,” Wen Du Jiao could only relent in this time being. Looking at how calm and collected Xia Sha right now, Wen Du Jiao had known he would not win against her.
She also had them immobilized and under her control. Wen Du Jiao was afraid that Wen Rou could turn black and blue if she keeps trying to revolt. He tried to warn Wen Rou from his gaze, but Wen Rou did not care.
“Xia Sha, if you want to fight, then fight me. Why do you need to bring my dad into this?” Wen Rou bellowed furiously.
“That is the same question I wanted to ask your dad. Why do they need to bring my family into their internal problem? He knew his little daughter is alive, but why did he need another family to shelter his daughter?”
He Jin Nan suddenly let out a burst of satisfying laughter as he looked at Wen Du Jiao’s ashamed face. He turned to Pang Ze Tian with a ridiculing gaze on his face, “Is this the man that knocked you off? Ah, I see.”
One sentence from He Jin Nian is enough to make Wen Rou realized the confusing relationship between her father and Pang Ze Tian. She shook her head in disbelief and turned to Wen Du Jiao. However, before she did, her gaze stops on Xia Xiang in the chair next to her father.
Xia Xiang’s lowered her head the whole time. She said nothing and expressed nothing. She just sat there like an onlooker, uninvolved with this messy situation.
“Dad, that is not true, right? They are lying to us,” Wen Rou’s sound trembling. She probed the question to Wen Du Jiao but kept her gaze locked on Xia Xiang.
The more she observed the little girl, the more resemblance between her and Wen Du Jiao shows. Wen Rou’s nose flares, she finally turned to Wen Du Jiao and looked at him with hatred.
Ji Cun Xi and Guan Xian watched the intense drama quietly on the corner of the room. Slightly messaging his temple, Ji Cun Xi leaned to Guan Xian.
“What Xia Sha is trying to do here? It is so f*cked up,” he murmured.
“Don’t you knew what kind of person Xia Sha is? She likes to play psychological war with people. She is trying to mess up their mind and make them fight each other.. Wait and see, it’s going to be a long chapter,” Guan Xian replied with a proud smile.
