Chapter 153: Daughter Has Gold Under Her Knees
The sky was cold and high, and the sun was sinking in the west. The customers in the coffee shop are leaving one after another. There was only one table of guests, and the interest was high, and there was no sign of being ready to leave at all.
Mrs. Xue, Park Shiyi, and Haruko spent a long time in Xia Xue's coffee shop, but they still didn't seem to have fun. Perhaps, their interest is not in coffee, but in Xia Xue's other purpose.
Mrs. Xue leaned peacefully on her seat, staring at Xia Xue with arrogant and mean eyes, but she didn't say a word. The old man's eyes were full of contempt and disdain, and the sight that fell on Xia Xue seemed to be full of thorns.
Xia Xue stood straight in front of the table, trying her best to maintain a smiling face, which had become stiff at this time.
Park Shiyi took Mrs. Xue's hand several times, saying that it was getting late and it was time to go back. But the stubborn old lady angrily shook off her daughter-in-law's hand and glared at her daughter-in-law fiercely. was so frightened that Park Shiyi no longer dared to do anything. On the contrary, it was Haruko, who looked at Xia Xue with relish, with a gloating expression on her face.
The store manager sent away the guests in the store, and when he saw Xia Xue still standing awkwardly in front of Mrs. Xue, he couldn't help but feel anxious for Xia Xue. She thought for a while, walked towards Xia Xue, and whispered, Sister Xia, can I trouble you to come to the front desk? Xia Xue glanced at the store manager, immediately understood in her heart, and said, Okay.
Xia Xue and the store manager respectively said "I'm missing" to the guests at the table, and then turned around and walked towards the front desk. Xia Xue almost just turned around, and Old Lady Xue shouted loudly behind her, Xia Xue, are you scared when you see me? Or, do you feel that you have done something wrong and have no face to come to see me?
Xia Xue had been suppressing the resentment in her heart before, not wanting to offend Mrs. Xue. At this moment, hearing Mrs. Xue's ugly words, coupled with her hoarse tone, Xia Xue felt the blood all over her body surging up to her head. Xia Xue smiled, turned around slowly, took elegant steps, looked directly at Mrs. Xue's gaze unhurriedly, and walked in front of her.
Xia Xue secretly wondered in her heart. Mrs. Xue, do you think I'm really afraid of you? If it weren't for your advanced age, if it weren't for the fact that you were Xiaozhi's grandmother, why would I be afraid of you? Xia Xue looked at Mrs. Xue's eyes, her strength grew, she was a little less polite, and she had more of her true colors.
Mrs. Xue's brows furrowed, and she glared at Xia Xue's gaze, which was even more awe-inspiring. She snorted coldly a few times, and said proudly to Xia Xue, why, now that you have opened a small shop, do you feel that your worth has increased? Do you still remember back then, when Xue Han didn't want you anymore, you knelt in front of the gate of our Xue family all night? The rain that night was really heavy, and it didn't stop all night! After speaking, Mrs. Xue laughed out loud.
Mrs. Xue, it's okay not to mention this matter. At this time, she actually poked the sore spot in Xia Xue's heart with a word, and Xia Xue really couldn't be silent anymore. Xia Xue clasped her hands in front of her, and there was no anger on her face, but she smiled leisurely. Old lady, although you are in the last years of your life, you don't look like your days are numbered. As the old saying goes, people will grow old, and their words are good. But your words are still as bitter as ever. What you said is right, I knelt down to your Xue family back then. However, do you think that if I kneel once, I will kneel again for the rest of my life? I, Xia Xue, have already stood up in front of your Xue family! You're shrewd, you can't really fail to see it, do you? Perhaps, you old man, just pretend not to see!
Mrs. Xue's face turned red in an instant, and her eyes showed a fierce light. She trembled her fingers, pointed to Xia Xue's face, and said, no matter how you jump, you are still the slut who was kicked off by my son! You rely on your own good looks and flirt with men all day long, but it's a pity that which man would really want a woman like you? I advise you to respect yourself and save some face for yourself. Also, please stay away from our Xue family! Don't hook up with all the good guys!
Xia Xue's face was crimson, but she couldn't see that she was half annoyed, she pursed her lips and smiled again. Mrs. Xue, no matter how much I don't grow, it won't be your turn to bother. However, you are really admirable for your son. Let's just talk about your youngest son Xue Han, he is your most precious son, and you actually disciplined him in prison. Hehe, I don't know, I think the Xue family doesn't have the ability to bail out their son. If you know, you will praise your son for teaching your son, but you just want your son to go in and be tempered! Fortunately, you always looked down on me back then, otherwise where would I be blessed by misfortune today? No matter how unbearable I am, I definitely don't want to be a labor prisoner and be a widow outside.
After Xia Xue finished speaking, she smiled at Mrs. Xue and asked. Mrs. Xue, I don't know if you were full just now? If you don't have enough to eat, I'll send someone to buy you two catties of stove bags. Could it be that your house doesn't even listen to the cook? If you want to eat a stove bun, you have to come to me and ask for it. I'm not afraid of trouble, though. As long as you are not afraid of passers-by recognizing you and losing the identity of the Xue family, you can come to my place to drink coffee to find a stove bag.
Xia Xue's words, as soon as she finished speaking, she only heard Old Lady Xue slap her palm on the table. She stood up suddenly, stretched out her sharp index finger, and poked the tip of Xia Xue's nose fiercely. Xia Xue hurriedly dodged back, but she didn't speak, just grinned, and looked at Mrs. Xue with a calm face and smiled. This time, Mrs. Xue was even more angry, she shouted angrily, Xia Xue, you don't want to be a man, our Xue family still wants to be a man! Please don't approach Xiaoji again in the future! You're twenty years older than Xiaozhi, how can you be embarrassed?
Xia Xue Yanran said, Mrs. Xue, please calm your anger, you are angry. If you have three longs and two shorts, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for the day when Xue Han is released from prison. As for Koji, I won't explain anything to you, because I really can't find a reason to explain. Didn't you just say that I flirted with men? That's what I'm capable of. It's just that no matter how much I flirt, I don't have to report it to you, right? Instead of trying to persuade me, you might as well go back and persuade Xiaozhi to stay away from me. Tell me, is this the reason?
Mrs. Xue has been majestic all her life, but today in front of Xia Xue, she couldn't get a little cheap. She tried to overwhelm Xia Xue with her aggressive momentum several times, but Xia Xue was no longer what it used to be, how could she be bullied by her again. After all, it was Mrs. Xue who was too rude, and she was really too deceitful. Otherwise, Xia Xue is not the kind of mean person.
Pu Shiyi hugged Mrs. Xue tightly and helped her smooth her chest. Old Lady Xue was so angry that her eyes were red, and she couldn't wait to step forward and tear Xia Xue to pieces. In the end, Xia Xue bowed to Mrs. Xue, quietly said "I'm out of company", and left resolutely.
Xia Xue had just walked away a few steps when she heard Haruko diligently persuading Mrs. Xue from behind. Grandma Xue, don't be angry, in fact, Aunt Xue is also quite good. Otherwise, Xiaozhi wouldn't be able to get a marriage certificate with her!
"Haruko, shut up for me!" As soon as Haruko's words fell, Park Shiyi categorically shouted and asked her not to say any more.
When Mrs. Xue heard Qingzi's words, she was choked unconsciously, and she didn't speak for a long time. After a long pause, she stared at a pair of red eyes and asked Park Shiyi, is what Haruko said true? Xiaozhi and Xia Xue, have they really gotten married?
Park Shiyi hurriedly shook her hand and said that there was no such thing at all, it was Haruko who said nonsense. After speaking, Park Shiyi hurriedly signaled Haruko with her elbow and asked her to comfort Mrs. Xue quickly. But Haruko pouted and didn't speak for a long time.
Xia Xue walked to the front desk and said to the store manager, The account of this table is on my head, and there is no need to settle it. Store manager, let's send off customers! After Xia Xue finished speaking, she walked into the room behind the front desk.
As soon as Xia Xue entered the house, she was like cotton, slumped on the ground, and tears flowed down. Just now, Xia Xue had been barely supporting herself, so she was not overwhelmed by Mrs. Xue's arrogance. At this moment, she was like a deflated balloon, deflated and fragile, and she no longer had any strength.
The store manager sent the customers away and returned to the rest room, where he saw Xia Xue kneeling on the ground alone, crying silently and weakly. The store manager hurriedly walked over and helped Xia Xue to the sofa, his eyes filled with tears of sympathy. For so many years, the store manager has never seen Xia Xue so fragile and helpless.
Xia Xue held the store manager's hand, lowered her head in pain, and muttered to herself, what happened to me just now? Why do you have to go toe-to-toe with an old man in his last years? No matter how much she did in the past, but now that she is old, why should I be as juicy as her? When did I become such a jerk, even I can't forgive myself now!
The store manager brought Xia Xue a glass of water. Xia Xue took the cup, took a few sips, was stunned for a while, and walked out silently.
The store manager followed Xia Xue uneasily, and kept seeing her get into the car, and told her over and over again that she should drive slowly! I really didn't think it worked, so I left the car on the side of the road and called my family.
Xia Xue looked ahead blankly and did not respond to the store manager's words. Mechanically started the car and slowly drove away from the store manager's sight.
When the store manager returned to the house, he especially wanted to call Xiaozhi and tell him Xia Xue's current condition. However, the store manager, when he thought of the scene that happened in the store in the afternoon, did not dare to rush into many things, for fear of adding unnecessary trouble to Xia Xue.
Xia Xue came home in a daze, told the nanny that she had no appetite, and went upstairs stiffly. She didn't even have the strength to change her clothes, she only felt a tingling pain in her heart, and sometimes it seemed like she was twisted, and it hurt her to death. She hurriedly straightened her body, no longer curled up in the painful area, and slowly got better.
Why, that Mrs. Xue can always seriously injure herself easily? She seems to always know, where is Xia Xue's weakness? Xia Xue always seems to be humble in front of her, what is this for?
Is it true that there is gold under the daughter's knees? Don't fall to your knees easily. Otherwise, it will be difficult to straighten your knees when you kneel inadvertently!
Xia Xue was in a daze and received a call from Park Shiyi. I only heard her shouting on the phone, Mrs. Xue is about to die! Xia Xue, think about how to explain to Xiaozhi first, right?
