Xia Liu mercilessly threw the document of severing the relationship to the ground, his eyes full of disdain and anger. He had already seen through the true face of this nominal foster sister, but unfortunately everyone else in the family was deceived by her disguise. Now, this document can be regarded as a silent annotation of her true face, and he doesn't need to spend more time to reveal it.
"Why are you still standing here? Aren't you always shouting that you want to leave? Get out now!" Xia Liu's voice was filled with undisguised disgust.
Xia Liuli's face was ashen, she laughed in anger, staring at Xia Liu with a torch-like gaze. She had long lost her patience and disguise for this brother who always confronted her. She slowly bent down, picked up the document on the ground, and looked at Xia Liu deeply.
"Sixth brother, you will pay for everything you did to me today." Her voice was low and firm, as if every word contained endless meaning.
After saying that, she turned away resolutely, but at the moment when she was about to step out of the door, she saw Xia Zhuozhuo standing at the door and observing her quietly. She was a breathtakingly beautiful girl. Although she was dressed simply, even rustic, it could not cover up the unique charm she exuded.
Xia Liuli frowned slightly. She had to admit that Xia Zhuozhuo's beauty was aggressive and made people feel uneasy involuntarily. Those eyes looked very much like Mrs. Xia, and Xia Liuli almost guessed Xia Zhuozhuo's identity at the first time.
She walked up to Xia Zhuozhuo, looked her up and down with a critical look, and said with a hint of contempt: "Are you the Xia Zhuozhuo who has been missing for many years?"
Xia Zhuozhuo smiled slightly, and a playful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Are you the ungrateful guy?"
Xia Liuli was furious when she heard it, and she raised her hand to slap Xia Zhuozhuo. However, before her hand fell, it was firmly grasped by Xia Zhuozhuo.
"Hiss——" Xia Liuli gasped in pain and shouted angrily, "Bitch! Let me go!"
Xia Zhuozhuo snorted disdainfully: "Your character is really not good. Get out of here before I get angry."
After that, she let go of Xia Liuli's hand and wiped it on her pants, as if Xia Liuli's hand was covered with something dirty.
Xia Liuli was so angry that she trembled all over. She laughed again in anger: "Okay, you really deserve to be a family. Don't think you can enjoy yourself just because you come back from the countryside. The Xia family is over!"
Xia Zhuozhuo heard this, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "I don't know whether it's over or not. But I know that if you don't get out when I count to three, then you're really over."
Xia Liuli was so angry that she rushed towards Xia Zhuozhuo again, but was stopped by Xia Liu.
"Butler! Drag her out!" Xia Liu's voice was full of unquestionable majesty.
Xia Liuli glared at Xia Liu fiercely, and gritted her teeth and said, "You don't have to chase me away, I will leave by myself! I don't like this family! And, you wait, I, Xia Liuli, will pay you back tenfold or a hundredfold for what happened today!"
After that, she left without looking back.
Xia Liu was about to curse, but suddenly saw Mrs. Xia's body tilted and fell to the side.
"Mom!" Xia Liu was shocked and reached out to help. However, before he touched Mrs. Xia, a dark shadow passed in front of him and held Mrs. Xia steadily.
When Xia Liu saw clearly, he found that it was Xia Zhuozhuo who held Mrs. Xia.
"Little..." Xia Liu just opened his mouth, but didn't know how to address Xia Zhuozhuo.
Xia Zhuozhuo glanced at him and said lightly, "Help her and send her back to the room."
Xia Liu nodded quickly, and together with Xia Zhuozhuo, helped Mrs. Xia back to the room and lay down.
Xia Zhuozhuo took Mrs. Xia's hand and concentrated on taking her pulse. Her eyes were focused and serious, as if she was no longer the cynical girl at this moment, but a real doctor.
The pulse was very disordered, obviously a fainting caused by anger. Moreover, Mrs. Xia's physical condition was worrying. It should be the root of the disease left in her early years, which needed careful conditioning. Otherwise, this body would not be able to withstand several tossings.
Xia Liu was stunned watching from the side. He didn't expect Xia Zhuozhuo to be able to treat illnesses. He walked forward a few steps and asked in confusion: "Xiao Qi, can you treat illnesses?"
Xia Zhuozhuo responded casually: "I learned a little from the barefoot doctor in the village in my early years. Is there an acupuncture box at home? She needs acupuncture now."
The housekeeper couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard that it was the medical skills taught by the barefoot doctor. He reminded her, "I've called an ambulance. It will be here in 20 minutes."
Xia Zhuozhuo said calmly, "In her case, if she goes to the hospital, they can only give her oxygen, and then give her a lot of checkups, and finally prescribe some medicine and send her away. Let me try acupuncture."
Xia Liu thought it made sense, and said immediately, "Go to the physiotherapy room to see if the physiotherapist has left any silver needles."
The physiotherapy room at home was set up because Xia's father had a bad spine for many years. Although the housekeeper was a little hesitant, he couldn't persuade Xia Liu, so he had to go to the physiotherapy room to find something.
Fortunately, although the physiotherapist was dismissed, the things were left behind. The housekeeper quickly took the acupuncture box and handed it to Xia Zhuozhuo.
Xia Zhuozhuo opened the acupuncture box and spread out a pair of silver needles inside. After disinfecting it skillfully, she needled several acupuncture points on Mrs. Xia's body one by one.
However, after the acupuncture, Mrs. Xia still did not react, her eyes were closed, as if she fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, the housekeeper quietly pulled Xia Liu aside. He whispered: "Sixth Master, the one you brought back..."
He pointed in the direction of Xia Zhuozhuo, lowered his voice and continued: "The jade pendant hanging around her neck is the one of the young lady who was lost before. And, look at her eyes, they look exactly like Mrs. Xia when she was young! And..."
"You mean, do you think Xiaoqi will harm Mom?" Xia Liu interrupted the housekeeper, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
The housekeeper hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not... I'm just afraid of a contingency. You also saw that when those needles were inserted, Madam didn't react at all."
Xia Liu was more direct, he walked towards Xia Zhuozhuo. He stood beside Xia Zhuozhuo, looking at Xia Zhuozhuo's focused expression, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Xiaoqi, how long will it take for Mom to wake up?" He asked tentatively.
"Ten minutes." Xia Zhuozhuo said as she fiddled with the silver needle at an acupuncture point with moderate force. Her voice was calm and firm, as if everything was under her control.
"Ten minutes?" Xia Liu repeated in disbelief. He looked at the wall clock and silently calculated the time in his mind.
The housekeeper was very anxious and whispered to Xia Liu: "Sixth Master, you should send your wife to the ambulance first! In case something goes wrong..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps. The sound of an ambulance came from downstairs, and then the door was suddenly kicked open.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the door and saw a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a scar on his right eyebrow bone walked in. He was the fifth young master of the Xia family - Xia Wu.
"Xiao Liu, I heard that mom..." Before Xia Wu finished speaking, he saw Xia Zhuozhuo inserting a thick silver needle into Mrs. Xia's head.
He was furious and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you hurt my mother? You are courting death!"
He then slashed at Xia Zhuozhuo with his palm. However, before his palm touched Xia Zhuozhuo, Xia Zhuozhuo dodged it easily.
Xia Zhuozhuo dodged Xia Wu's attack and explained, "Fifth brother! Don't get me wrong! I am giving my mother acupuncture to save her!"
However, Xia Wu was not willing to listen to her explanation. He determined that Xia Zhuozhuo was an enemy and attacked her with deadly moves. Xia Zhuozhuo dodged Xia Wu's attack and looked for opportunities to continue giving Mrs. Xia acupuncture.
Xia Liu was stunned watching from the side. He did not expect Xia Wu to be so impulsive. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xia Wu's arm, advising, "Fifth brother! Calm down! Xiao Qi is really saving my mother!"
However, Xia Wu had lost his mind at this moment. He broke free from Xia Liu's restraints and continued to attack Xia Zhuozhuo. Xia Zhuozhu dodged the attack while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Mrs. Xia suddenly let out a faint moan. Although the sound was weak, it was like the sound of nature, which made everyone stop.
Xia Zhuozhu took the opportunity to push Xia Wu away and walked quickly to Mrs. Xia. She leaned over and called softly: "Mom! You're awake!"
Mrs. Xia slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes revealed a trace of confusion and fatigue. However, when she saw Xia Zhuozhu, a trace of surprise and kindness flashed in her eyes.
"Xiao Qi... you're back..." Her voice was weak and trembling, as if she had used up all her strength.
Xia Zhuozhu's eyes moistened when she heard this. She held Mrs. Xia's hand tightly and said with a sob: "Yes! Mom! I'm back! I will never leave you again!"
Mrs. Xia smiled with relief when she heard this. She gently patted the back of Xia Zhuozhuo's hand, as if to comfort her.
At this moment, Xia Wu and Xia Liu were also stunned. They looked at the scene in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion and guilt in their hearts. They realized that their previous impulse and misunderstanding almost led to irreversible consequences.
"Xiao Qi... I'm sorry... We blamed you wrongly..." Xia Wu's voice was choked with sobs and apologies.
Xia Zhuo shook his head gently. She said, "It's okay! Fifth brother! Sixth brother! I know you are also worried about mom! As long as mom is okay!"
As she said, she turned her head and looked at the housekeeper and other servants. Her eyes revealed a hint of firmness and majesty: "In the future, I don't want this to happen again! We are a family! We should trust and support each other! Instead of suspicion and attacking each other!"
The housekeeper and other servants bowed their heads when they heard this. They realized their mistakes and were filled with guilt and respect. They knew that from this moment on, the Xia family would have a brand new beginning. And all these changes are due to Xia Zhuozhuo's return.
