Chapter 2287: Are You an Abusive Partner?



Xia He nodded politely. She turned around and muttered softly to Qiao Mei, "Is there

something wrong with this person? Just now, she was still staring at us fiercely. What's going on now?"

"She's probably trying to get close to you," Qiao Mei said.

Before the Xu family members left the house, Xu Tian had instructed Liu Xiao to be more polite to Qiao Mei. Otherwise, he would beat her up until she was paralyzed! He would make her lie in bed for the rest of her life!

"I heard that you even went overseas for a period of time. You're really amazing. Are you used to life overseas? What's it like compared to life here?" Liu Xiao asked curiously.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Before coming here, Xu Ba had probably told the Xu family all the information about the Xia family. It should not be difficult for them to find out about this.

"It's not too bad. I just try my best to make a living overseas," Xia He said.

"How can that be! It's already very impressive to be able to go overseas!" Liu Xiao continued with the flattery.

Xia He shook her head and said, "It's not as safe as the capital. There are small gangs which will go around causing trouble. Once it gets dark, we don't dare to go out for fear of getting into trouble."

Before Liu Xiao could say anything else, Xu Cai looked at Xia He in disbelief and asked, "Is that true? I thought people always say that it's very nice overseas?"

Li Gui could not help but say, "Stop hitting yourself!"

Liu Xiao did not dare to stop. What Li Gui said did not count. She could only stop when Qiao Mei said so. Otherwise, she would receive even worse abuse and beating at home.

Qiao Mei observed Liu Xiao carefully. She had less strength in her left hand compared with her right hand. It did not seem like she was doing it on purpose, more like her left hand was injured.

She quietly gathered her energy into a thread and slowly let it approach Liu Xiao. The moment it touched Liu Xiao, Qiao Mei understood why Liu Xiao was so afraid of Xu Tian and Old Madam Xu.

"Alright, you can stop," Qiao Mei said.

"Yes... Thank you for forgiving me... Thank you..." Liu Xiao said weakly.

Qiao Mei looked at Xu Tian, then turned to look at Xu Ba and asked, "Do you have any bad habits?"

"Our Xu Ba definitely doesn't have any! He doesn't smoke, drink or gamble!" Old Madam Xu quickly spoke up.

"Oh~ Then do you hit women?" When Qiao Mei said this, she looked at Liu Xiao. Xu Tian and Old Madam Xu immediately understood what she meant. How did Qiao Mei know that Liu Xiao had been beaten up?

Xu Ba immediately said, "Of course not! I've never hit anyone!"

Xu Hang and Xu Cai did not show any reaction, so it seemed that what Xu Ba said was true. After all, these two children could not hide anything that they were thinking and were not as sneaky as Xu Chun.
