Chapter 26 - The Almighty Daughter Strikes Back, Mysterious Lair Appears in the Family

Xia Huaiwu remained silent this time, but stared at Ning Suixiang with confusion in his eyes. Ning Suixiang responded with a cold look. "Why don't you continue to ask? Why do I hit you?" Xia Huaiwu lowered his head silently: "I am your son. Whether you want to hit or scold me, you don't need a reason. I should bear it all." Xia Zhuozhuo, who was standing at the door, raised one eyebrow slightly and evaluated in his heart. Although this fool is stupid, he still has a trace of filial piety. If not, he might have been hopeless. Ning Suixiang heard Xia Zhuozhuo's voice and her anger subsided a little. "I hit you because Zhuozhuo is your sister. You call her 'Xia Zhuozhuo' as if she is an outsider who has nothing to do with us." Xia Huaiwu finally couldn't hold back and refuted. "I...I shouldn't call her that, I admit that's wrong. But I'm talking about other things, and those are also facts..." Ning Suixiang stared at Xia Huaiwu and asked in a deep tone: "Did you see all these things you said? Did you really see how she squandered the family money and how she deceived the elders?" Xia Huaiwu opened his mouth, and his voice was obviously lacking in confidence. On the one hand, he sneaked out during his self-reflection; on the other hand, he did not witness those things with his own eyes. He coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment: "I...I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard it from Liuli." Ning Suixiang's face turned gloomy in an instant. "Did Liuli tell you all this?" "Yes, you also know the relationship between Liuli and Du Haoran. She just came out of Du's house at that time, so what she said is absolutely credible." Ning Suixiang was not led astray by Xia Huaiwu's words. "In other words, you didn't see the things you said with your own eyes?" Xia Huaiwu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Ning Suixiang closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "In that case, I was right to slap you twice just now." "Things that you haven't seen with your own eyes may not be true." "Besides, there are many things in this world that may not be true even if you have seen them with your own eyes." "I have saved you from danger many times. You should use your brain when you speak and act. You have practiced so much kung fu. I think you might as well calm down and read more books. In the future, you should not go to the ancient martial arts hall." Xia Huaiwu was anxious when he heard this. Just then, Xia Zhuozhuo stepped into the living room. "Mom." Ning Suixiang's face eased a little when she saw her. She almost went forward and asked her, "Are you okay?" Xia Zhuozhuo shook her head. "It's okay. I have already dealt with the matter. They will not come to mention the house again in the future." Ning Suixiang was very surprised. "You handled it by yourself?" Xia Zhuozhuo said "hmm" and said vaguely: "These people just work for a friend of mine. With my classmate's intervention, the matter was resolved smoothly." Xia Huaiwu asked doubtfully: "What friends? You just came to Shanghai, how can you know friends? They are not some bad people, right?" Ning Suixiang glared at Xia Huaiwu fiercely, and he was too scared to say anything. She retracted her gaze and looked at Xia Zhuozhuo and asked: "Have you asked your friends? Has our house really become a foreclosed house?" Xia Zhuozhuo said: "My friend doesn't know the specific situation, but he promised me that he will find out what happened tomorrow." Xia Huaiwu muttered in his heart: What else is there to check? Isn't the matter set in stone? Didn't Xia Zhuozhuo just annoy the Du family and went out to apologize just now, so the Du family let her go? Ning Suixiang nodded and prepared to change the subject: "Fortunately, you solved such a big problem. In the future, we have to..." "I understand." Xia Zhuozhuo just responded, and the video doorbell at the door suddenly rang, and a middle-aged man's voice came out. "Hello, is anyone home? I'm from the Du family. Mr. Du sent me to deliver something." Hearing this, Xia Huaiwu jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Mom! The Du family is here again! I said Liuli couldn't be wrong, right? She really offended the Du family!" Ning Suixiang gave Xia Huaiwu a look, signaling him to open the door to greet them. Xia Huaiwu took a few steps forward and stopped Xia Liu who wanted to open the door. "You can't go! They just wanted a house, who knows what they want now?" "Xia Huaiwu, stand aside!" Ning Suixiang said, and Xia Huaiwu didn't dare to stop her even if he was anxious, so he could only step aside. But his eyes kept glancing at Xia Zhuozhuo, and his meaning was very clear: Look at what you have done! Xia Zhuozhuo ignored him and only said to Ning Suixiang: "Mom, please believe me, I am not bluffing. I went to the Du family, really went to..." Xia Huaiwu interrupted her immediately: "Mom, did you hear that? She really went to the Du family!" Ning Suixiang's ears were buzzing because of Xia Huaiwu's loud voice. She pressed her ears, and the eardrums were not so painful. "What is the situation? When they come in, I will naturally know. Now, shut up." Xia Huaiwu pursed his lips and stopped talking. Xia Liu also took the opportunity to walk out the door. Ning Suixiang gently held Xia Zhuozhuo's hand. Regardless of whether what Xia Zhuozhuo said was true or false, even if Xia Zhuozhuo really made a mistake, she, as a mother, must protect her child. Xia Zhuozhuo gave Ning Suixiang a soothing look. The Du family came here to cause trouble. Seeing the mother and daughter standing hand in hand, Xia Huaiwu felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, he hoped that Ning Suixiang could see Xia Zhuozhuo's true face and clear himself up; on the other hand, he didn't want the Du family to come to make trouble. After all, she was his blood sister, and he didn't want her to get into trouble. Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, footsteps sounded at the door. It seemed that more than one person came. Even Ning Suixiang, who was so calm, became a little nervous at this moment. She was not afraid of anything happening, but she was afraid that she could not protect Xia Zhuozhuo. "Mrs. Xia..." The voice sounded, and the four people, including the housekeeper, looked up at the same time. Xia Liu led the middle-aged man who had just appeared on the video doorbell in. Behind the two of them, there were four burly bodyguards in suits and leather shoes. Each of them was holding gift boxes of various sizes. Ning Suixiang looked surprised and met the middle-aged man's gaze and asked, "Hello, what are these..." The man was Du Zhengguo's personal assistant. After introducing himself, he bowed to Ning Suixiang and Xia Zhuozhuo. "Mrs. Xia, Miss Xia, I came to give a thank-you gift according to our master's instructions." Ning Suixiang was stunned when she heard this. Thank-you gift? Could it be that the Du family came to thank Xia Zhuozhuo? What on earth is going on? Xia Huaiwu was also stunned. He widened his eyes and looked at this scene with disbelief. Could it be that... Xia Zhuozhuo did not annoy the Du family? Instead, he helped the Du family? Xia Zhuozhuo looked at the gifts brought by the Du family assistant, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that all this was because she helped the Du family solve that difficult problem. Ning Suixiang came back to her senses and politely invited the Du family assistants and bodyguards to come in and sit down. The assistant of the Du family declined her kindness, saying that she was just following orders and would go back to report after delivering the gift. Ning Suixiang did not force it, but thanked him again and again. The assistant of the Du family smiled and said that you are welcome, then turned and left. After the people of the Du family left, Ning Suixiang turned to look at Xia Zhuozhuo and Xia Huaiwu. "Zhuozhuo, what is going on?" Xia Zhuozhuo briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter. It turned out that she went to the Du family to help the Du family solve a medical problem. The Du family was grateful and sent someone to send a thank-you gift. Ning Suixiang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. She looked at Xia Zhuozhuo with relief and pride in her eyes. "Zhuozhuo, you have really grown up. Mom used to worry that you would suffer outside, but now it seems that I was worrying too much." Xia Huaiwu also echoed: "Yes, sister, you are really amazing." Although Xia Huaiwu is usually a little confused and selfish, at this moment, he is still really proud and happy for Xia Zhuozhuo. Xia Zhuozhuo looked at her mother and brother, her heart was full of warmth and touching. She knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges she would encounter in the future, as long as her family was by her side, she would be able to move forward courageously. And this visit from the Du family also made the Xia family more united and strong. They believe that as long as everyone works together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and welcome a better future. Ning Suixiang vaguely understood the ins and outs of the matter. Xia Zhuozhuo does have good medical skills, and she has a deep understanding of this. Just as she was about to speak, she was preempted by Chong Huaiwu on the side: "What thank-you gift? Your old Mr. Du was not... "
