Chapter 893 - It Was Comforting (1/2)
Whether it was as Chen Xiu or Bai Xiu, this was Xiu's very first time to step a foot inside the Xin Family house. And just like any big clan, this manor was certainly a grand one. Since tonight the family members had gathered around for dinner, one could see the hustle and bustle in this cold manor.
However, that had nothing to do with her. She was here with a purpose. And if it wasn't for that, she'd have never even wanted to take a step inside this manor.
*SLAM!*
The big wooden door was pushed open with a slam making everyone inside the hall jump a little in surprise. Soon, two rows of bodyguards came to stand on each side in a row before Xiu walked through space between them.
Looking at how everyone was staring at her, Xiu smiled widely, ”Oh, did I startle you? My bad! I'm sorry.” And then she sashayed over as if she was the owner of this place. ”Oh my, no one even waited for me over dinner. This is so not fair.”
Xiu looked like she was grieving over the fact that no one really waited for her over dinner. The people inside were so shocked by her presence that they had forgotten what to say at this point. Suddenly, Mother Xin stood up and pointed a finger at her, ”What the hell are you doing here? And who let you come inside? Is our Xin Family a place where someone like you can come and go as you please?”
”If Xin Family can be cheap enough to let someone like you in the door, why can't I come as well?” retorted Xiu making Mother Xin's eyes widen in rage. Xiu paid no attention to her mood as she went on, ”After all, I have a blood of the Xin family in my veins. What about you?” She took a pause as her eyes carefully looked at every single person present at this dinner and she snorted, ”Or is it that since you have managed to insert so many Chi family members into this family that you've started thinking that this no longer the Xin Family?”
”You!” Mother Xin, Chi Fan pointed her finger at Xiu in anger. She took a calming breath and went on, ”I should not even waste my emotions on someone like you. People who grow up on streets have no manners.”
”Ah! No wonder you don't have any,” said Xiu like it was the most obvious thing. ”You finally solved a mystery for me. I can finally understand how you became so trashy.”
”Is this how you're supposed to talk to your elders?!”
Xiu rolled her eyes at her, ”It's been a long time since it's been announced that I'm Xin Zemin's one and only daughter. How come I didn't see an elder like you coming to check up on my condition?”
Mother Xin yelled a lot but none of that manage to get to Xiu. In fact, Xiu even yawned at how boring it was arguing with an old lady who had half her foot into the grave. And who knew, perhaps after tonight, she might end up in the grave as a whole?
Xiu chose the most conspicuous seat and sat down like the Queen of this place looking down at everyone. Her eyes again looked at everyone until it settled on a certain someone. She offered him a big smile as she asked, ”Does it feel good to put your gun on someone else's shoulder and fire?”
That person's eyes flickered slightly but he didn't show any other change, making Xiu tut at him.
”I don't care what your relationship with Zemin is, you roll out of here for me!” roared Mother Xin. ”Isn't there someone outside? Come here and take this person out of here!”
”Will you shut up?” Xiu stared at her with a hard gaze stunning Mother Xin to her place in an instant. ”I'm really curious how come a woman like you actually gave birth to two amazing sons? Are you sure you're their mother? Because I have doubts! Big doubts!”
”What nonsense! I am their mother!”
Xiu sighed out, ”Who knows? Everything is possible in this family. If the father can be fake, then the mother can be a fake copy as well.” She looked back at 'Father Xin' as she questioned, ”Right? Grandfather?” She covered her mouth as if she did a mistake and corrected herself, ”Oh sorry, sorry! I think I should say, Granduncle.”
The subtle change in Father Xin's face became obvious now. Or perhaps, Xiu was too focused on him so she could see it more clearly. However, it certainly made her want to snort.
”Have you lost your mind?” Mother Xin looked at Xiu strangely. ”Or are you blind? Seeing what you did at the wedding, I was certain that you're a mentally challenged person. But now, you're even turning out to be blind as well?”
”Well, it's all our genes fault,” retorted Xiu. ”If my grandmother is blind and senile, I must have inherited something from her.”
”What did you just say?”
