Yan Han’s words caused Xia Chen to stiffen, followed by a dry chuckle to dispel the tension.
“It’s not about discouraging you from helping others. I just want you to prioritize your safety,” Yan Han spoke softly, her voice filled with a mother’s deep concern.
Xia Wan gently patted Yan Han’s hand, reassuring her. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m not one to act rashly.”
“That’s good. I trust you,” Yan Han replied, her face breaking into a warm smile.
Xia Hai, observing his wife and children, sighed contentedly. “It’s wonderful to have the family together like this.”
“All thanks to Wanwan.”
“Dad, it’s not all my doing. Brother earned this opportunity himself!” Xia Wan modestly declined the praise.
“Without Wanwan’s encouragement, I wouldn’t have even thought of attending the reception. You deserve thanks,” Xia Chen said as he returned to his seat, raising his cup to Xia Wan. ‘Wanwan, this toast is for you.”
Caught off guard by Xia Chen’s gesture, Xia Wan hurriedly picked up her glass and sipped her juice.
Meanwhile, Xia Feng’s playful complaints about being left out drew laughter from the family.
Xia Wan thought the turmoil had settled with her parents’ return and Xia Chen’s successful task completion. But then Xia He and Chen Lian arrived, disrupting the family meal.
“Xia Wan, come out!” Xia He’s loud voice echoed from afar.
As Xia Hai rose to greet them, Yan Han gripped his arm, her frown betraying her concern. “Where are you going?”
Xia Hai, wordless, sat back down, a look of resignation on his face.
The family, barely recovering from recent upheavals, braced themselves for more trouble.
Xia Wan stood up, followed closely by Xia Chen and Xia Feng, ready to face whatever was coming.
They confronted Xia He at the door, with Xia Chen and Xia Feng blocking her way.
“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, what brings you here today?” Xia Chen inquired.
Chen Lian, hands on hips, pointed accusingly at Xia Wan. “I need to speak to that Xia Wan!”
Xia Chen’s expression hardened. “Second Aunt, speaking so disrespectfully doesn’t suit your elder status.”
“Xia Chen, as your elder, step aside!” Chen Lian snapped back, her anger rising.
“Move, or I’ll have to deal with you too!”
“Second Aunt, our families have had little contact since the split. What’s the reason for your visit?” Xia Chen stood firm, his tone growing chillier.
“Xia Wan! It’s bad enough you harmed Xia Ru, and now you’re targeting our Xia Ye? Have you no conscience?” Chen Lian’s voice was shrill, carrying down the street.
“Second Aunt, I don’t understand. When did I harm Xia Ye?” Xia Wan stepped forward, meeting the accusation with a cool demeanor. “I wish Xia Ye would stop seeing me as a rival. It doesn’t do her any good.”
At that moment, Xia Hai and Yan Han joined them.
“Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, let’s discuss this calmly. Baseless accusations only harm our family’s harmony,” Xia Hai said, sounding weary.
“Second Sister-in-law, I can’t believe Wanwan would harm Xia Ye. Please verify the facts before accusing her,” Yan Han spoke firmly, determined to defend her daughter against Chen Lian’s groundless claims..
