83 Chapter 83

"Xia Weisheng!"

The guy mentioned looked at his back and quickly glanced at Meixiu before running towards where the voice yelled.

"Xue, this woman tried to beat me up!"

Xia Xue is Xia Weisheng's cousin. She is known as Master Xia, considering she teaches karate to kids and those who want to learn the martial arts.

Xia Xue has been participating in martial arts competitions and has won countless awards in her six years of competing.

And now, with her family's background, she has managed to establish a successful martial arts studio to teach and train more.

Xia Xue went towards Weisheng, looking at her cousin up and down before looking towards the front and seeing a woman. Her eyebrows raise in question.

"That's just a woman."

Weisheng groans and grabs the woman's arm, dragging her in front of Meixiu, which causes the taller woman to be confused.

"Mr. Weisheng, I've already bought the stone, and you don't have any right to grab it from me."

"What stone is it anyway?"

Xue asks, her head looking at Weisheng as Meixiu couldn't help but scratch her head in the process.

"That's not the problem here! She tried to beat me up and even wants me to loosen up this bracelet!"

Weisheng went up and raised his right hand, showing Xue the bracelet. The woman couldn't help but raise her hand and block her nose.

"That stinks; get that away from me!"

Meixiu's attention went towards Xue, her eyebrows raising as her eyes piqued interest in the latter.

Xue looks at the woman in front, still not knowing her name, and raises her eyebrow, seeing that the latter is looking at her.

"Is there a problem?"

"She's trying to provoke you!"

Weisheng replied, glancing for a while at the woman in front before walking behind Xue.

The cousin crossed her arms on her chest, stepping closer to the taller woman and looking at her up and down.

"Xia Xue, Xia Weisheng."

Before the girl could say anything to Meixiu, a voice called from behind Meixiu. The latter didn't look at the voice and waited until it went towards where the cousins were.

"Dad, that woman tried to provoke me!"

"Yes, Uncle! She even beat me up!"

The man looked at the two guards behind Weisheng before furrowing his eyebrows.

"If you beat someone up again without any reason, I'll be cutting your allowance for a week."

The man slowly went and looked at the woman in front of the two, his eyes widening, seeing an unexpected person in front.

"Ms. Song!"

He quickly recognized the normal clothing she was wearing, his head almost touching the ground as he bowed so deeply.

The two cousins looked at each other in confusion. Weisheng couldn't help but feel a little upset at how his uncle bowed so deeply at the woman.

"Dad!"

"Uncle!"

"You two! Bow down!"

The two cousins had to bow down. Xue snickers in the process, causing Zhaohui to glare at her.

"Ms. Song, did these two cause you any trouble?"

The people around them mumble to each other. What did the Master of Xia call this rubbish daughter-in-law of the Zheng?

Is he out of his mind?

Probably, Meixiu has been scamming the Master of Xia for him to respect her this much.

Or could it be that Meixiu blackmailed him?

"Either way, Meixiu probably manages to catch him."

"Yeah, I can't believe he's that dumb."

Zhaohui heard what the people around him said towards the woman in front of him. He couldn't help the fist and was about to confront them when Meixiu cleared her throat.

"Don't mind them; they didn't do anything."

Zhaohui nodded and bowed his head. He quickly went beside Meixiu before he whispered.

"Ms. Song, would you like to eat lunch? An apology lunch date that my daughter and nephew caused."

Meixiu looks at him before she shakes her head. She smiles as she bows down a little, acknowledging the invitation she received.

"I appreciate your invitation, but unfortunately, my wife will be eating at home, so I'll be preparing her a dish."

Zhaohui smiles and nods. He quickly detaches from Meixiu's side and bows down yet again.

"What a lovely interaction. Let me invite you next time."

"I'll make time for that."

Meixiu looks back at the two cousins, who are both still bowing down, before turning her attention towards the older man.

"Tell him to loosen the bracelet; I can see that it has been causing problems."

Zhaohui widens his eyes, looking between Meixiu and Weisheng, before he goes towards his nephew and grabs him.

He dragged her towards Meixiu before grabbing the right arm of the guy to present the jade bracelet.

"Is this causing us trouble?"

"Yeah, little accidents."

"Liar! You've been seeing the news and trying to scam Uncle!"

Weisheng couldn't help but express his thoughts. He doesn't want to see his family members suffer because it's hard.

Weisheng has been scammed multiple times. Being addicted to becoming a master of antiques, he wanted to prove to himself that he could already tell the real one.

But then, great wishes come with great suffering.

Multiple con artists have been reaching out to him, and his family has a great reward for those who are willing to sell them their antiques.

Zhaohui's eyes shook in the process; he quickly pushed Weisheng away from Meixiu, and his head bowed a little.

"I apologize for what he caused you; are you sure about what you're saying?"

Meixiu's eyebrows furrow, as if asking the man if he's serious with his question. The silence caught up with Zhaohui; he quickly panicked and looked for an answer.

"It doesn't seem like-"

"I know that bracelet will cause much more than him getting hospitalized for almost a week."

Her statement causes Zhaohui to sigh in relief, but at the same time, he panics upon hearing what she says.

Weisheng's accidents have been on the news, and in the most recent one, he was hospitalized for almost a week.

It was not public when he got out because Zhaohui couldn't bring more damage to their company.

His eyes glanced up from Meixiu before he nodded and walked towards his nephew.

"Lose that bracelet; I don't want to see you wearing it."

Zhaohui said angrily. Weisheng scoffs and removes the bracelet from his wrist. He quickly put the bracelet in his pocket.

"Make sure to throw it away inside a jar full of salt."

Meixiu bid her goodbye with advice on what to do to remove bad luck and drove away, riding her scooter.

-

"Mom, can you please stop?"

"Xiaohui, I'm saving our lives! Your garbage wife is probably beaten to death, and we'll be next!"

Upon finishing her statement, the door opened, with Meixiu came inside the house with ingredients in her hands.

The taller woman widens her eyes and quickly goes towards the kitchen.

"Baby, you should have told me you'd be home early, so I went back early."

She said this as she washed the vegetables she bought. Xiaohui looks at Xiaowen, her eyes furrowing as the older woman has her mouth agape.

"She doesn't seem beaten up."
