Chapter 402: Chapter 403: Haven’t You Learned to be Smart Yet?
Xia Yangyang stayed in the countryside for two days before heading back.
The New Year was approaching.
The entire city was in a bustling mood.
It was decided to celebrate Chinese New Year’s Eve at the Gu Family’s residence.
The day before Chinese New Year’s Eve, Xia Liangdong invited Xia Yangyang over for a meal.
It was the first time Xia Yangyang had seen Xia Weiwei since Weiwei was released from detention.
When Xia Weiwei saw Xia Yangyang, her eyes were still filled with undisguised resentment.
Even more so than before.
But she had learned to endure.
Upon seeing Xia Yangyang, she didn’t utter a word and retreated to her room.
During dinner, everyone sat at the same table and conversation was sparse. Except for the occasional business chat between Gu Qichen and Xia Liangdong.
If it wasn’t for Xia Liangdong’s insistence, Xia Yangyang wouldn’t have wanted to return.
Xia Yangyang was aware.
This family was now fragmented.
Xia Liangdong did his best to mend the situation.
This time she returned, Xia Liangdong stated that it was for Xia Weiwei to apologize to Xia Yangyang.
But where was Xia Weiwei’s sincerity?
During dinner, Xia Weiwei deliberately spilled wine over Xia Yangyang.
Then she disdainfully said: “Sister, I’m sorry, I was immature, you have to bear with me.”
Xia Liangdong slapped the table hard: “Xia Weiwei, if it weren’t for your sister being lenient, you would be in prison now! What kind of attitude is this? Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?”
Xia Weiwei tossed her chopsticks aside: “Dad, would I have gone to jail if it weren’t for her? My reputation is in shambles now, I can’t get by in the entertainment circle, and I can’t even attend school. All thanks to her! And you claim she’s being lenient, does she want to drive me to the edge to be considered ruthless?”
Xia Yangyang coldly interjected: “Xia Weiwei, if you’re talking about being ruthless, I’m nowhere near you. If you hadn’t done those outrageous things, how would you have ended up where you are now?”
Xia Weiwei hysterically shouted: “Isn’t it all because you took everything from me, Xia Yangyang? You stole everything from me! You made me lose everything, I’m neither a human nor a ghost now. I will never forgive you, I hate you so much, why don’t you just die!”
Liu Ruyan’s palm landed on Xia Weiwei’s face.
Xia Weiwei looked at Liu Ruyan in disbelief: “Mom, even you are hitting me?”
“I want to wake you up! You brought it upon yourself by doing those things, and yet you have the audacity to blame your sister here? If it weren’t for your sister’s and brother-in-law’s magnanimity, you wouldn’t even have the chance to stay here and bark. You still don’t realize your wrongs even now, go to your room and reflect! You’re not allowed to eat until you understand where you went wrong.”
Xia Weiwei had a look of disbelief on her face.
But looking at everyone’s cold faces, she covered her face and went upstairs.
From the beginning until the end, Gu Qichen wore an entirely indifferent expression.
With a remorseful look on her face, Liu Ruyan said, “This child is truly unfathomable. I’ll go talk some sense into her, you all continue eating.”
Once she finished speaking, Liu Ruyan went upstairs.
Xia Weiwei was trashing her room.
She almost broke everything breakable in the room.
Liu Ruyan appeared at the door, her voice cold: “Stupid child, what have I taught you during the day? Keep calm and offer a sincere apology to Xia Yangyang. What the hell were you doing just now? Do you know the consequences of provoking Gu Qichen again? Hasn’t a month in detention taught you to be smarter?”
