Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Rescuing Big Brother 2_1 Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Rescuing Big Brother 2_1 Mrs. Xia didn’t expect him to dare talk back to her. She was so outraged that she couldn’t even grasp the aning of his words before exploding, pointing at him, “Have you rebelled against heaven, you, not even listening to your own mother’s words!”
“Mom, stop scolding first,” Ningxing sensed sothing was amiss and imdiately turned to her elder brother, pressing for answers, “Big brother, what do you an she’s your lifesaver? What in the world is going on?”
As she spoke, everyone started to sense that sothing was off, they all looked at him with confusion, waiting for his explanation.
Indeed.
How on earth had a lifesaver suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
Had sothing happened?
Jiehao moved his lips, his face crumpling as he held his forehead. He didn’t want to disclose the matter, but it was clear that if he didn’t explain, his family would never agree to him marrying Liu Ying.
So…
He could only speak in a low, pained voice, revealing the ordeal, “I encountered a thug, and then Liu Ying saved … Otherwise, I would have lost my life.”
The Xia family, upon hearing this, were imdiately stricken with shock, fear, and relief.
“How could this happen!” Mrs. Xia staggered a bit.
Even though she was hard on her son, she had never anticipated he would actually be in trouble, so the news genuinely terrified her.
Ningxing and the others quickly steadied her, preventing her from falling down in an undignified heap.
“So now you understand why I have to marry Liu Ying?” the elder brother said, his eyes red.
Liu Ying was wiping away tears with her sleeve, too ashad to look up, sobbing as though her heart would break.
But Ningxing still felt there was sothing peculiar about the whole situation, that it was not as straightforward as it seed.
Yet, for the mont, she couldn’t untangle the truth of it.
Xia Jiehao, the head of the household, stepped forward and sighed, “Since this has happened, we do need to take responsibility for the young lady.”
“Of course we need to take responsibility!” Mrs. Xia had cald down by now, realizing that since the girl had risked her reputation to save her son, she was indeed their family’s great benefactor.
In both emotion and reason, their family had a duty to assu responsibility.
Mrs. Xia’s face transford from one of disdain to a warm smile. She lifted her eyes to gaze at Liu Ying once more, stepping forward to take her hand:
“Young lady, I’m truly sorry, I didn’t realize the situation was like this. Since you are my son’s lifesaver, from now on, we are family.”
If Liu Ying had saved her son by any other ans, she might have compensated her with money.
But Liu Ying had used her chastity.
There was no other way.
Seeing that she had finally been accepted, Liu Ying was overjoyed inside, but on the surface, she looked up with tearful eyes, gratefully embracing Mrs. Xia, “Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Auntie…”
Her sobs were intense.
Mrs. Xia’s heart was a turmoil of emotions as she sighed, “Good child, don’t cry, it’s noon already. Let’s go eat, and don’t be sad.”
With that, Mrs. Xia led her into the house.
Liu Ying never expected things to go so smoothly. As she walked into the villa, the corners of her lips twitched almost imperceptibly upward.
She thought to herself, the intelligence of the wealthy is nothing special after all!
Still, they were being played by a girl from the countryside.
At the dining table, everyone’s food tasted like wax.
With such an incident, who could feel like eating?
Liu Ying, however, seed to have a good appetite, devouring her food as if she had never tasted anything so fine before.
After Big Brother hastily finished eating, Ningxing also put down her utensils and pulled him aside, “Big brother, co to the room with for a bit.”
