Chapter 1375 Receiving The Shao Family



The butler had quickly arranged for someone to inform Xia Guang. At this moment, the father-and-son duo was on a private bus headed for the police post. Along the way, the two of them did not speak at all, as if they were total strangers. The two of them did not even bother to fake a closeness like what the Shao family did.

When they arrived at the police post, Xia Xing quickly got out of the car and said to the police officer standing guard at the door, "Hello, comrade. My name is Xia Xing. I'm here to pick up the people from the Shao family. They're my family members."

"You're finally here! The people inside have been waiting for a long time. Quickly come in with me. I'll bring you to see them," the police officer said.

The police officer brought Xia Xing and Xia Guang to the meeting area. He really wanted the Xia family members to quickly take all the Shao family members away from here. Otherwise, the ceiling of the police post might collapse from the noise made by all these people. It had been so noisy over the past few hours that he felt dizzy.

"Here they are. Remember to pick them up at the train station next time. Don't leave them stranded at the train station. Among them, there are elderly people and also young children! Can you bear the responsibility if they get lost?" the police officer said sternly.

"Yes, I'll remember that. There definitely won't be a next time. WeI've really caused you trouble this time," Xia Xing said apologetically to the police officer.

Shao Zhuang immediately caught sight of Xia Xing. Although the two of them had only met once, he remembered Xia Xing very well.

"Look! This is my son-in-law, Xia Xing!" Shao Zhuang walked forward enthusiastically and put his arm around Xia Xing's shoulder, as if the two of them were as close as father and son.

"Oh my! You're really as good-looking as what Elder Brother said! The two of you look like father and son! Perhaps it's fate that brings you together!" Shao Chun said excitedly.

Xia Guang frowned slightly. Xia Xing's real father was standing here, but she said that Xia Xing looked like Shao Zhuang. Was she trying to humiliate him?

These people from the Shao family were indeed a real piece of work.

"Why are you here so late and make us wait at the police post for so long? We even think that we need to spend the night at the police post!" Shao Xian complained.

Xia Guang coughed lightly and said, "I'm Xia Xing's father. It's indeed the Xia family's fault for not taking better care of you. We did not get any news that you were coming and did not make any preparations. We seek your understanding in this."

Shao Tu looked at Shao Zhuang in confusion and asked, "Elder Brother... didn't you say that you had already informed the Xia family?"

"That's right! I had informed you. Didn't you receive my message?" Shao Zhuang asked forcefully.

Xia Xing could tell at a glance that the situation today was caused by the Shao family acting on their own accord again. Shao Yin was exactly like Shao Zhuang and they behaved in almost the same way.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll find a place for you to stay first. Shao Yin doesn't know that you're here. After we settle your accommodation, I'll bring her to see you. If she hears about this, she'll definitely be overjoyed," Xia Xing said.

Shao Tu immediately said to Xia Xing, "There's no need to go through so much trouble! There's no need to look for a place to stay! Elder Brother says that we can stay at your house and that it's a very big house! We've never seen a big house before. You must show us around today!"

"That's right, that's right!" Shao Chun echoed.

From the moment Xia Guang entered the police post, he had a displeased expression on his face. Although he was not as capable as Xia Yao and Xia Mao, he was still a pampered young master brought up in the Xia family. When he was born, the Xia family was already rising to prominence. He did not have to go through any tough times as they were already considered a rich family in the capital by then.

He had expected the Zhou family to find Xia Xing a wife from a good family and he certainly did not expect the family to be like this. He wondered how Zhou Hua had educated their children throughout all these years.

Xia Xing had no choice but to bring the entire group to a few different guest houses first and find a random reason for them to stay there. He was kept very busy and it was not until midnight before he could drag his exhausted body home.

Shao Yin had an unhappy expression on her face as she said, "Why are you back so late? Where did you go?"

"I was held up by something. I'm going to wash up and go to bed," Xia Xing said moodily.

"What exactly do you mean by this! You don't even want to tell me anything now! We're about to get married and you're treating me like this! Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Auntie Zhou about this?" Shao Yin threatened.
