一夜情

After the incident, Zhao Chuchu became even more famous in Guangqing Province.

Xia Chenglan and Zhang Qun were injured, while Madam Zhangli had a stroke and had been bedridden ever since.

Even if the Zhang clan wanted to seek revenge on Zhao Chuchu, they didn’t have the courage to do so.

This was exactly what Xia Chengzhu wanted.

Xia Chenglan could no longer disturb him anymore. She couldn’t bother him every day trying to fight him for the Xia clan’s inheritance.

Xie Chenglan couldn’t do anything.

Ever since she returned from the Yuan clan that day, every single night, she felt like there was someone standing in front of her bed when she slept. One night, when she woke up, she saw Xia Xiaoxiao standing beside her bed, asking her why she sold her away and caused her to end up in Lengshui Village.

Xia Chenglan screamed and woke up, only to realize that she was dreaming.

Zhang Qun was jolted awake. He was feeling rather agitated, and he spoke to Xia Chenglan in a rather irritated tone.

“What are you doing? Why are you acting so suspicious all the time? Are you trying to scare me to death or something?”

“Hubby, I saw Xia Xiaoxiao just now. She came back to find me.”

Xia Chenglan hugged Zhang Qun. She was terrified.

“She is standing right beside our bed.”

“What, Xia Xiaoxiao? Can you stop scaring yourself? What if we wake the others up? They’re going to mock us tomorrow!”

“No, no. Xia Xiaoxiao is standing right in front of our bed. Hubby, can you open the mosquito net to take a look, please?”

“Okay, okay, fine. Watch me.”

Zhang Qun suddenly pulled the mosquito net away. There was nothing there.

Just as he was about to speak, Xia Chenglan suddenly pushed Zhang Qun away.

She cowered in a corner of the bed and said, “Don’t come here. Don’t come here. Xia Xiaoxiao, you shouldn’t have lived in this world. I just did what I should have done. Go look for the others for revenge!”

“Are you insane?” Zhang Qun was getting quite angry at this point. There was no one else here. Xia Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be seen.

“It has nothing to do with me…”

Xia Chenglan screamed and wailed.

Zhang Qun didn’t know what to say.

Everyone in the Xia clan was woken up.

But instead of coming over immediately, they waited until Xia Chengzhu woke up before following him to Xia Chenglan’s room.

Xia Chenglan kept waving her hands around as though she was trying to chase something away. She kept mumbling something that no one else could understand.

“Enough! Xia Chenglan, are you done with this nonsense? I can’t believe you would go to such lengths to snatch our things. Are you pretending to be insane now? Do you still remember who you are? If you think that there’s a ghost here, get out and go back to the Zhang clan!”

Xia Chengzhu’s voice was stern and loud as he yelled at her.

Perhaps it was because she heard Xie Chengzhu, Xia Chenglan’s sanity started to return to her slowly.

As she looked at the people who had gathered in her room, she realized what she had just done.

Although she was afraid, Xia Chenglan would never show weakness in front of Xia Chengzhu. She said, “What are all of you doing here? Xia Chengzhu, I am your elder sister. It’s only right for the Xia clan to be handed down to me. I can’t believe you would go to such lengths to chase me away!

“But I’ll tell you. There’s no way for you to chase me out! The Xia clan doesn’t belong to you. Old Mr. Xia owed this to me. It’s only right for me to get my compensation. Xia Chengzhu, don’t come here and act all high and mighty. I’ll do anything if you piss me off. Don’t regret it when that happens!”

Zhang Qun was trying his best to hide his presence.

When the siblings of the Xia clan quarreled, he had never intervened. He was happy as long as he could live off his wife.

Xia Chengzhu laughed, then he looked at Xia Chenglan pitifully. “It’s not your fault that you grew up in the poor countryside, but you shouldn’t come out here and make a fool of yourself. What do you mean Zhao Chuchu is your daughter? Aren’t you afraid that her real mother might come and haunt you at night?

“Oh, right, I remember now. You were yelling her name and telling her not to come near you. Are you scared? That’s right. You have neither the luck nor the ability to give birth to a child like Zhao Chuchu. If you can’t wake up from your dream, I can ask someone to wake you up with some urine so you can stop living in a fantasy.”

Xia Chengzhu’s words triggered Xia Chenglan’s deepest insecurities and anger.

Xia Chenglan lost her cool. She charged forward and gave Xia Chengzhu two slaps.

Xia Chengzhu couldn’t react in time. He only realized he had been attacked when he felt a numbness on his cheeks. He stared at Xia Chenglan viciously and said, “How dare you hit me?”

His expression and tone made Xia Chenglan feel uncomfortably scared.

She backed off instinctively.

Xia Chengzhu walked closer and closer to her.

“Who do you think you are? This is the Xia clan. Bitch, how dare you hit me?”

Xia Chengzhu slapped Xia Chenglan with every sentence. He slapped her so hard that her face became lopsided.

Xia Chenglan couldn’t believe it. She screamed hysterically, “Xia Chengzhu, how dare you hit me? I’m going to kill you!”

Then, Xia Chenglan pounced forward as if she was fighting for her life. She grabbed Xia Chengzhu’s hair and started scratching his face.

The two siblings became hateful enemies and fought each other.

They had been unhappy with each other for a long time. Now that the conflict had started, no one could stop them.

It became a brawl in the end.

Xia Chenglan’s hair was a complete mess, while Xia Chengzhu’s clothes were torn. Both of their faces were bruised and swollen.

Actually, Xia Chengzhu was in a worse state than Xia Chenglan.

He had been abusing his own body by partying and fooling around over the past few decades. How could his physical fitness possibly compare to Xia Chenglan who often worked on the farms?

In the end, Xia Chenglan basically pinned him down on the ground and changed the fight into a one-sided beating.

If the rest of the people from the Xia clan didn’t pull Xia Chenglan away, Xia Chengzhu might have been beaten to death by Xia Chenglan.

The Xia clan was in a complete mess.

Xia Chengzhu ordered his servants to throw all of the Zhang clan’s belongings out and chased out all members of the Zhang clan.

Everyone from the Zhang clan cried and yelled as though it was the end of the world.

It was easy to live in luxury after living in poverty, but doing the reverse was extremely difficult.

They had gotten used to life in the Xia clan, where every meal was exquisite and there were servants to tend to their every need. There was no way that they could go back to live the life they did before.

But they were no match for the Xia clan’s servants. They were chased out of the Xia clan in the middle of the night and became homeless.

Xia Chenglan pointed at Xia Chengzhu’s nose and yelled, “You immoral prick. You have no heart, no principles, and no loyalty! Dad passed away only a short while ago. How can you treat me like this? Xia Chengzhu, you deserve to die! You heartless maniac, evil imbecile, you wait here. I’ll go report you tomorrow!”

“Go, then. If you don’t go, you’re a coward! Xia Chenglan, I’ve been putting up with your nonsense for a long time. You’re a shameless bitch who ran away with some outsider. You don’t deserve to return to the Xia clan. If dad knew about it, he would have agreed with what I’m doing. You should be a good little wife in the Zhang clan. Don’t return to the Xia clan and bring shame to this family!”

“You bastard piece of shit, how dare you?”

“Haha.”

Xia Chengzhu sneered, then he waved his arm and signaled at the servants to close the doors.

Bang!

The main gates of the Xia clan were closed.

Xia Chenglan’s eyes widened. She screamed, “Xie Chengzhu, get out here now!” She went forward and banged on the door continuously.

Under the instruction of Xia Chengzhu, no one in the Xia clan answered Xia Chenglan.

The night breeze of early spring was freezing.

The entire Zhang clan shivered in the cold wind.

Xia Chenglan became the target of the entire Zhang clan. Other than Zhang

Qun, everyone was blaming her and scolded her, including her own children.
