100 years before Divorce
The reason why the government's defeat is such a big deal for the Xia Corporation is that the government has a lot of say in Xia Corporation. It partly because the government sees Xia Corporation as a profitable company they (the government) provide them the seat to dominate the market.
There is a lot of hidden agreement she did not know. However, one thing her grandfather once said to Xia Sha is that the government is one of the reasons why Xia Corporation is still standing tall.
The sudden change in the government put Xia Corporation in ambiguous standing.
Just like what Xia Sha has expected, the next morning, her father holds an impromptu meeting with the board of directors. Xia Sha attended as one of the shareholders of Xia Corporations.
The meeting is ten hours long, from morning to evening. It drained a lot of emotion and energy from Xia Sha. She is tired, but when her grandfather called everyone to gather in the old Xia Manor, she still needs to carry on.
In the big house with the classic colonial theme, the whole Xia family has arrived and taken their seat in the big dining room. It looks like a family reunion minus the festive atmosphere and smiles on each face.
Grandfather Xia sits on the head chair, while on the first row, her father and grandmother are sitting across each other. Pang Ze Tian takes a seat beside Xia Qi Feng, while across from her, Xia Sha's mother sipping her tea elegantly, paying no attention to Pang Ze Tian's scornful looks at all.
Xia Sha blood boils that instant second. How dare they let her Pang Ze Tian sat at the same table with her mother?
"What is this, a sudden reunion?" Xia Sha makes herself visible to everyone in the silent dining room. She takes a seat beside her mother after greeting grandfather Xia and grandmother Xia.
"Xia Sha, you've come." Shen Xia Fei warmly hugs her.
"Have you eaten?" Grandmother Xia looks at Xia Sha with a worried look because of how pale she looks right now.
"I've eaten, but I'm not hungry," Xia Sha answers curtly.
It's not that Xia Sha did not love her grandmother, but her grandmother is the old fashion type despite her working in the company. She didn't want to talk too much to her grandmother because...
"What did I tell you before. A woman shouldn't be working so hard. You should have to take care of your body and face. Working more on improving cooking skills," Her grandmother sighs.
Well, that is why.
Xia Sha rolled her eyes and avoided looking at her grandma.
Instead, she vents her unhappiness at Pang Ze Tian. "Grandmother, do you meant I should look up to Aunty Pang. She does nothing all day in the manor. Should I be like her?"
"Hah, like her? I don't even know her. Who are you talking about?" Her grandmother answer with a visible frown on her face. "I'm talking about you, Xia Sha. You are my granddaughter who never even listens to me once."
"My mother went to work." Xia Xiang tried to defend her mother.
"Oh, you mean the saloon that keeps losing every month?" Xia Sha replies nonchalantly but adding more fuel to their bickering.
"Xia Sha, don't talk like that to your sister," Xia Qi Feng warned.
"Oh, I don't realize my mother pregnant again after me." She smirked at her father.
"Xia Sha, that is not the way to talk to your father! where are your manner?" Grandmother Xia scold her.
"Lost in the kitchen." Xia Sha said, raising her eyebrow indifferently. Her grandmother gasp.
"That is enough, all of you." Grandfather looks at grandmother with a warning look as soon as he sees she is about to scold Xia Sha again. Xia Sha's grandmother scoff as she averted her un-kind gaze to somewhere else.
Shen Xia Fei pours the warm tea into her used to be mother-in-law's cup as she gently chimed in. "Carrier woman is everywhere right now. But your grandmother is right. Xia Sha, you shouldn't overwork yourself that you skip eating for work."
Shen Xia Fei's calm demeanor make grandmother Xia felt better. She took a deep breath and regained back her composure. Indeed, her ex-daughter-in-law could always make her heart light.
She did not know why doesn't Xia Sha got this trait for her ex-daughter-in-law. She chooses to act like her son, who always makes her angry.
The only person who is not happy when she saw the interaction between Shen Xia Fei and Xia Sha's grandmother is Pang Ze Tian. She secretly scoffed and roll her eyes.
Bad luck, she has been discovered by Xia Sha, who got more agitated because she is not in a good mood.
Pang Ze Tian froze on her seats. "I-, I..."
"Xia Sha, stop making trouble." Xia Qi Feng helped his wife out when he realized she had done another stupid thing. It's not that he dotes on Pang Ze Tian, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his ex-wife.
"Oh, I thought that must be what you wanted since you bought this slut on the same table with my mother." Xia Sha said with a fake, clown smile to her frowning father.
"Xia Sha, that is enough." Shen Xi Fei murmured bellow the table.
"No. I won't be silent watching you get disrespected like this." Xia Sha did not bother to lower her voice and glared at her father openly.
"Xia Sha, is this how a daughter from Xia Family act? Should I send you back to the etiquette class? Disrespect? You asked people to respect your mother when you show no respect for your father at all?" Her grandmother said in a disbelief tone.
No matter how she hates her son for acting so stupid, she didn't want Xia Sha to disrespect her son like this. In front of everyone, especially his ex-wife.
"Grandmother, If you want to send me back to etiquette class, you should go back to elementary school. This is the twenty-one century, everybody has the right to say whatever they wanted."
"XIA SHA!" Xia Qi Feng and Shen Xia Fei scold her at the same time.
"ENOUGH!" Grandfather Xia hit the wooden table, silencing everyone on the table. Xia Sha's chest rose and fall so quickly as she looks away from everyone.
Throwing a rough exhale, she stood up and wanted to excuse herself.
"Where are you going?" Her grandfather asked her with a still angry tone.
"I'm going to the restroom." Xia Sha scoffed, refuse to look at anyone at all as she walks away without her grandfather's permission. However, just three steps away from her seat, she heard other people chattering from outside the dining room.
Moving her sight to the open arch and found a familiar figure there. But that person is not alone. He brings a group of elders with him. Realizing what this dinner is about, Xia Sha throws a sharp glance at her grandfather.
"Oh! Xia Sha! You are here. Do you still remember me?" A voice rang past Xia Sha's ear. The bald man behind the familiar figure smiling brightly at Xia Sha.
Xia Sha forced a smile and turned her body towards that man. "Of course I do, grandpa Xiao." She walks back to her seat behind her mother calmly, letting the Xiao family fills the rest empty chair on the big dining table.
"Oldman, how are you doing?" Grandfather Xiao is smiling warmly at Grandfather Xia.
"I'm good, more than good now that I could see you again." Grandfather Xia is welcoming them warmly.
"Well, you can see me more often now that we are going to be a family." Grandfather Xiao easefully said as he glances at the familiar figure that takes a seat next to Xia Sha.
Xia Sha surpasses her urges to flip this table back as she sees her grandfather smiling so happily. "Ah yeah, who knew we have that kind of fate."
"Oh, I thought the two of you could control fate now." Xia Sha said sarcastically while glancing at Xiao Zhan beside her. His tongue was extremely sour, as sour as her face right now.
Grandfather Xia's face darkened when he heard Xia Sha's remark. He shot her another warning looks, which she gladly reciprocate with a defiant gaze.
"Hahaha, Xia Sha has a good sense of humor now. I remember how shy and timid she was back in the days. Eh, I remember Xia Sha extremely likes karaoke in the past. Do you still like singing now?" Father Xiao said with a friendly smile. But underneath those flatterings words, he wanted to remind Xia Sha past relationship with Xiao Zhan before.
"Right, Xiao Zhan even turn his drum studio into a karaoke room for Xia Sha. Ah, They are the sweetest couple in my eyes." Mother Xiao, who usually did not get along with father Xiao has actually helped her ex-husband this time.
Xia Sha shot a cold glance at the man beside her. "Well, Xiao Zhan help me answer the question. You are my best friend, you knew me better than I knew myself."
She makes sure everyone at this table felt uncomfortable.
Xiao Zhan look at her calmly as she heard him answer, "Yes, you still love karaoke."
Xia Sha shows a kind smiles to him, which looks more terrifying than her angry glare. "Well, no. I hate karaoke almost as I hate my past. I leave all the bad stuff and did not plan to pick it up again. Same goes as people.. Once it walks away, I would never let them enter again."
