Wang Kun continued to stare at Qiao Mei as if she was his prey! Qiao Mei could not help but say, “Elder Cousin-in-law, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”

“No, no!” Wang Kun said in a panic.

Xia Bai gave Wang Kun a hard kick. He already had a roving eye back in the northwest and he was always surrounded by women. She did not expect him to be up to his old tricks even in the capital! He actually dared to have designs on a Xia family member!

“Cousin-in-law, don’t misunderstand. Your elder cousin-in-law’s eyesight isn’t very good and he has crossed eyes. It’s more strenuous for him to look at people and that’s why he keeps staring at you,” Xia Bai explained.

Wang Kun immediately covered his eyes and said, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Xu Lan was not a fool and knew that Xia Bai and Wang Kun were just making things up. There were clearly no issues with Wang Kun’s eyes! However, for the sake of harmony in the family, Xu Lan endured it and said, “Is that so? Have you gone for treatment?”

“The doctor said that it’s a genetic defect and there’s no way to treat it,” Xia Bai said.

“Then Elder Cousin-in-law, you have to be more mindful in the future. Don’t stare at other people in this manner. We’re a family and can easily clear up the misunderstanding. However, it might not be so easy outside,” Qiao Mei said.

“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll remember that!” Wang Kun said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“Got it,” Wang Kun said.

Qiao Mei and Xia You stood by the window and looked out into the garden outside. Xia You’s expression was one of impatience and she looked like she wanted to chase Xia Zheng’s family out immediately!

“Cousin-in-law, I don’t feel like being here anymore. Look at them!” Xia You said unhappily.

“Who made you so angry?” Qiao Mei asked with a laugh.

“Second Granduncle, Uncle and Aunt are fine, but look at how arrogant Eldest Cousin and Eldest Cousin-in-law are! Moreover, that Eldest Cousin-in-law keeps staring at you so lustfully. He’s definitely not a good person!” Xia You said.

“Second Granduncle has been a sore point for Grandfather for so many years. We have to be nice to his family members. Even if there’s any issue, so long as they come and provoke us, let’s not hold it against them,” Qiao Mei reminded her.

“How can it be that just because of all those events in the past, our family has to take a backseat to their family for the rest of our lives!” Xia You said indignantly.

“That’s not true. Favors will eventually be repaid one day. How do you know that their family won’t need our help?” Qiao Mei said.

“But I just can’t take this lying down!” Xia You said through gritted teeth.

“I’m just glad that Xia He isn’t around now. If the two of you work together, you can probably shake up the entire Xia family!” Qiao Mei said as she shook her head helplessly.

“I’m not as impulsive as Cousin Xia He! Don’t tarnish our reputations!” Xia You said gleefully.
