Before Li Fengyun could retort, Xia Chenxing took out her phone and played the audio recording she had recorded at the Xia residence. The audio was very clear, and the Li family heard their conversation clearly. They all understood now that Xia Chenxing was indeed the victim in this matter. After playing the recording, Xia Chenxing slowly put away her phone and looked at Li Fengyun’s gloomy face with a sharp gaze. “Uncle, can my words be trusted now? Do you have any questions?”

Li Fengyun was instantly furious. He glared fiercely at Xia Chenxing, but he could not retort. However, his wife, Fang Min, was a tactful person. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right, she quickly came out to smooth things over and said, “Chenxing, you’ve really suffered. I didn’t expect the Xia family to do such a thing to frame their own family. They’re really heartless!”

Fang Min seemed to really feel wronged for Xia Chenxing. She pulled Xia Chenxing’s hand and said with a pained expression, “Old Madam, the Xia family can’t be forgiven for this matter. Chenxing is now a member of our Li family and can’t be bullied by them. You must seek justice for Chenxing and let the Xia family suffer a little. Otherwise, they will think that they can trample on our Li family!”

Xia Chenxing said nothing, waiting to see what would happen next.

Old Madam Li said, “We really have to make the Xia family suffer a little. I can’t even bear to reprimand our Li family’s granddaughter-in-law. How dare they frame her like this? In that case, I’ll leave this matter to you. I can rest assured.”

Fang Min smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, Old Madam. I’ll definitely get things done.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Madam Li swept her gaze across everyone and said in a rather dignified manner, “Today, everyone is here. There’s something I have to make clear in front of everyone. Chenxing is my most beloved granddaughter-in-law. If anyone bullies her in the future, don’t blame me for disregarding our relationship!”

Hearing this, the Li family was so shocked that they were speechless. They did not expect the old madam to be so protective of her granddaughter-in-law.

After the matter was explained, there was no need for the elders of the Li family to stay. They all said goodbye to the old madam.

Xia Chenxing helped Old Madam Li walk around the courtyard. She said with a smile, “Grandmother, if you spoil me like this, I’ll be spoiled.”

Old Madam Li reached out and poked Xia Chenxing’s face. “Little girl, it’s good that you know!”

“Hehe, of course I know that Grandmother dotes on me. Grandmother is the best!” With that, Xia Chenxing leaned her head on the old madam’s shoulder. The old madam was not related to her by blood, so how could she protect her? On the other hand, the Xia family’s relatives did not treat her as family at all and had harmed her time and time again. It was precisely because of this that she had to protect Old Madam Li well and not let her be harmed in any way. She would not let anyone who wanted to harm the Li family off.

Old Madam Li was delighted by Xia Chenxing’s words, but when she thought of how the Xia family could harm Xia Chenxing like this, she said worriedly, “Chenxing, although the Xia family is your family, they’re so heartless as to harm you. They don’t treat you as family at all. Don’t plead for them this time. I’ll definitely teach them a lesson!”

“Grandmother, do I look silly?” Xia Chenxing replied with a smile, but her expression quickly darkened as she continued, “Don’t worry, Grandmother. I’ve already planned it. I’ll definitely teach them a lesson this time!”

Old Madam Li asked in surprise, “You’ve already planned everything?”

Xia Chenxing smiled slyly and said, “That’s right, Grandmother. Everything has been planned. All that’s left is Grandmother’s move!”

Old Madam Li pretended to be angry and said, “You brat, you actually included Grandma!”

“No, Grandma, this means that the two of us have a tacit understanding!” Xia Chenxing stuck out her tongue and said mischievously.

… .

On the Xia family’s side, the entire family was in a mess. They called Xia Chenxing like crazy.

Xia Chenxing didn’t turn off her phone or answer their calls. She just watched them call her over and over again. The thought of Xia Zhiguang’s exasperated expression made her feel good.

Just as Xia Chenxing had expected, Xia Zhiguang walked back and forth in the living room while talking on the phone, cursing from time to time. Zhuang Meiyu didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing Xia Zhiguang throw the phone on the sofa again, she asked tentatively, “Zhiguang, has Xia Chenxing picked up the phone yet?”

“Don’t mention that unfilial daughter to me!” Xia Zhiguang was so angry that he fainted. Even his breathing quickened. After a while, he cursed, “This unfilial daughter. The next time I see her, I’ll break her legs!”
