Chapter 2319: Causing Trouble

“Do your family members still dare to appear in front of us? If they’re not afraid of being chastised by my relatives, they can feel free to come,” Xia Xing said indifferently.
Shao Yin had nothing to say to that. She hugged Xia Hai silently and did not speak. At this moment, Xia Xing was the only one who could make decisions in this family. If she left the Xia family and Xia Xing, she had nothing.
Xia Xing washed Xia Hai’s soiled clothes and cleaned up the mess in the house before going to bed. The next day, he arrived at Qiao Mei’s house at noon to explain the situation.
“I didn’t expect you to come,” Qiao Mei said with a cold expression.
She would never be welcoming to the third son’s family. Ever since she married into the Xia family, this third branch of the Xia family had always been going after her. Time and time again, they had put her, her family members and her children in danger. These people were still alive only because of her respect for Xia Jun. Otherwise... she would have long found a way to send them to their graves!
“I’m not here to talk about the celebration banquet. I’m here to tell you that I’ll find a venue myself. I hope you’ll accept our invite and attend the event,” Xia Xing said calmly.
This came as a surprise to Qiao Mei. She looked at Xia Xing and said, “You... you actually have some pride.”
“I have just come to terms with the facts. I just want to say that if the charges at your mother’s restaurant are lower than other restaurants or if the venue is more suitable for us, I will want to give you the business,” Xia Xing said.
“She will definitely be here. How can she miss such a good show!” Qiao Mei said with a laugh.
Before the banquet even began, Zhou Hua walked into the main hall of the restaurant, wearing tattered clothes. All the Xia family members turned to look at her. It was difficult not to notice Zhou Hua’s attire. She looked like one of those beggars on the streets and she even smelled really bad.
“She really wants to add some color to our day even at the expense of her own image...” Xia Wan said helplessly.
“Didn’t they say that she has turned over a new leaf? Why is she still doing such a thing now?” Xia He asked in shock.
Qiao Mei shrugged to indicate that she did not know anything either. If Zhou Hua knew how to use her brains, Xia Guang would not have divorced her and she would not have to leave the Xia family so disgracefully.
Zhou Hua took a look around and seemed to have found her target when she saw Xia Hai. She shouted loudly, “Oh, my grandson! My grandson! It’s so difficult to find you! So you’re here!”
Shao Yin hurriedly walked forward to hold up Zhou Hua and said, “Mother! Why are you here while dressed like this! What happened to you!”
By now, everyone knew what was going on. Shao Yin and Zhou Hua were working together to put on a big show today.
Xia Jun glanced at Xia Wen and the younger man quickly went to look for the restaurant owner to book an exclusive private room upstairs. He asked Mo Zhu and Xia He to bring the child up to the private room and not to come back downstairs no matter what happened.
“I know that you don’t want me to come and see Xia Hai, but I’m his biological grandmother! I have the right to take a look at him! I have even prepared his one-month-old gift!” Zhou Hua shakily took out a rag from her pocket.
