The Shao family's financial situation had only improved in recent years. In the past, they used to be the poorest family in the village and even had a leaky roof! Every springtime, during the rainy season, it was a very uncomfortable time for the entire family and the children would fall sick often. Under such circumstances, only a few of them managed to survive through the years.
The good thing about Shao Zhuang was that he was hardworking and he managed to improve the living situation for his own family. His family was small and he only had two daughters, one biological and one adopted.
If not for the fact that Xia Xing was kind enough to buy them a house in the county city, they would not be enjoying such a comfortable life now. However, they took him for granted after taking advantage of him. In fact, Xia Xing would have been better off feeding a group of dogs! The dogs would be more loyal than this bunch of leeches from the Shao family.
"There's no need to say so much. Our Xia family will never be related to a family like yours. If you keep your mouth shut and return to your hometown, we can pretend that nothing has happened between the two families. If you don't agree, then a few of you will have to stay behind in the police station in the capital," Xia Jun said.
"Oh right! I'm sure you have already conveniently forgotten what you've done. When you go to the police station, I'll bring my eldest brother's liquor glass there as well and ask the professionals to run tests and see what kind of substances they can find. Even though he had used the same glass to hold several drinks, I'm sure they can still find traces of the drug on the side of the glass. They can also check the fingerprints on the glass to find out who the real culprit is," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Qiao Mei did not say all this just to scare the Shao family. She really intended to go and get the glass examined for evidence. Earlier, she had already arranged for someone to retrieve the aphrodisiac packaging from the toilet and put it into a sealed bag, and had even asked the person to use tongs to pick it up! She was worried that the Shao family members would deny everything and refuse to admit that they were the ones who did it.
When Xia Jun and Xia Mao were on the way, they were not informed about the incident of the Shao family drugging Xia Wen. Xia Mao hurriedly stood up and wanted to go to the backyard to take a look at Xia Wen. He turned to take a look at Qiao Mei and she shook her head gently. Xia Mao knew that since Qiao Mei could pull him back from the gates of hell, she would also be able to give Xia Wen an antidote.
"Beasts! You even want to harm my grandson! Are you tired of living! Xia Mao! Arrange for someone to send them to the police station now!" Xia Jun smacked the table and said angrily.
Xia Wen was the grandson he doted on the most. He might not have been this angry if Xia Xing was the one who was drugged. After all, Xia Xing had never spent much time with him all these years. He had not even seen Xia Xing more than 20 times in his life and did not have much feelings for Xia Xing at all. It did not really matter to him whether this grandson existed or not.
Shao Zhuang hurriedly knelt in front of Xia Jun and said, "Uncle Xia, please let my family and my daughter off. We were just muddle-headed for a moment! Please forgive us. We won't dare to do it again!"
Xia Jun shook his head resignedly. If the Shao family had readily admitted their mistake earlier, Xia Jun might have been willing to give them a way out. The Xia family would just forget about everything they had given to the Shao family in the past. However, these people made it such that there was no need for him to feel sorry for them!
"Stop it. There's no point begging me here while trying to put on an act. I won't malign your family for no reason. I won't take to heart anything that has nothing to do with this issue. But I won't let go of anyone who harms my grandson, Xia Wen! Not one!" Xia Jun said.
Shao Zhuang still struggled to find something to say, but he no longer had anything that he could use against the Xia family. At this moment, it was only the Xia family who had control over them. The women from the Shao family could not withstand such a scary situation anymore and they all collapsed to the ground while covering their mouths tightly, afraid that Xia Jun would arrange for someone to kill them all!
This thought had indeed crossed Xia Jun's mind. However, the current era was different from a few decades ago. If it was 50 years earlier, Xia Jun would definitely slaughter this room full of black-hearted bastards with his own hands!
Qiao Mei looked towards the door. When she told everyone to come to the main hall to talk, she had also asked Shao Yin to come along. Why was she not here after so long? Could it be that she was creating more trouble in the backyard?
"I must get married today! None of you can stop me!" Shao Yin walked in smugly through the door. She did not even bother to wear her clothes properly. Xia Jun and Xia Mao lowered their heads to avoid looking at such a slutty woman.
"Your Shao family can even do such a thing! Our Xia family can't accept you! If you know what's good for you, then you should just get lost! Don't stay around and be an eyesore!" Xu Lan said angrily.nOve/lb-In
"You won't be able to chase me away! Besides, I still have to marry Xia Xing! He must be responsible for me given that he has already touched me!" Shao Yin said.
