Chapter 1523 I Am the Shrew

"All of you work in managerial positions. Why should Xia Lu and Xia Yan be lowly workers! They're also members of the Xia family. Why are they being treated differently!" Zhou Luo said as she lay panting on the ground.

"Do they have any special skills? Do you want me to say out loud how the two of them got their results? The rest of us are older and have worked for so many years. Is there a problem with us being in managerial positions? These two kids have only just graduated and already want to be managers. Then why don't you use your own money to start a company!" Xia You said furiously.

Zhou Luo had never seen Xia You behave like this before. Usually, Xia You would tolerate everything thrown at her. Looking at the way she behaved now, it would not be an exaggeration to call her a shrew. However, Lu Huai really liked this side of Xia You. What she was doing was protecting the people she cared about in her own way.

"Let me tell you! You'd better get lost! Otherwise, I'll get someone to drag you out! Disappear from our sight immediately and don't let us see you again!" Xia You said as she pointed at the main door.

Zhou Luo wept as she ran out. Xia You looked on with satisfaction at Zhou Luo's departing figure. When she turned around, she saw Xia Zhe, Qiao Mei and Lu Huai standing behind her, giving her a row of thumbs up.

"What are you laughing at! There's no need to idolize me," Xia You said laughingly.

Xia You did not know how to explain it. Was she supposed to tell Xia He that the shrew was her? That did not sound too good...

Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe covered their mouths and did not dare to laugh out loud. In the end, everyone looked at Lu Huai, who said resignedly, "Auntie Zhou came in the afternoon and went home after Xia You taught her a lesson. The neighbors probably misunderstood the whole situation."

Xia He reached out and pinched Xia You's forearm and then her bicep, saying, "Tsk, how long has it been since you last exercised? You've lost more than half your muscles. With those teeny arms and legs, how much damage can one punch do to her?"

"Don't look down on me! I exercise often! There must be a bruise on her stomach right now! As if I can really give her a hard punch? What if she dies? Then I'll have to compensate her!" Xia You said with heartache.

"Fine, fine, fine. I've wronged you. Come and sit down to eat." Xia He pulled Xia You to sit at the dining table. Ever since the Xia family split up, they seemed to get along even better. Perhaps it was Qiao Mei's arrival that had finally brought some warmth to the family.

The following days were peaceful. Xia You and Lu Huai were busy with buying the piece of land next to Qiao Mei's factory to build a parking lot, while Xia He and Deng Fan went about their own work respectively.

Zhao Fei bought a small place in the capital. It was similar to the apartment that Xia Wen used to live in. There was only one bedroom and a small living room. The kitchen and toilet were shared with other occupants, but he was already very glad to have a place to call his own.

Recently, Qian'e and Zhao Fei had been working together on the popcorn business. The sales had continued to increase and they were doing quite well. After leaving that cumbersome family, Zhao Fei was in much better shape than before and was able to work even more efficiently.
