Chapter 29

Unexpectedly, not only did Shu Xia seem perfectly fine, but she also appeared to have gained an indescribable air about her compared to before.

The manager and those present could not make sense of the situation before them.

It looked like they knew each other?

Shu Xia ignored them and looked at the manager: "I am her daughter. I now suspect that these two are deliberately making things difficult for and framing my mother. If you won't call the police, then I will call them now."

"Let's not call the police yet. Do you all know each other? Is there some misunderstanding here? Let's all sit down and clear up the misunderstanding first. If we call the police, it will only make things more troublesome and harder to resolve, don't you think?"

The manager reacted quickly, immediately trying to persuade them with kind words.

Chen Xiuyue's expression was ugly as she stared at Shu Xia and asked, "Don't you know who your real mother is? You want to call the police and make things difficult for your own mother for her sake? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become increasingly unruly and devoid of upbringing!"

"Blood relations change nothing; the grace of raising is greater than the grace of birth. When you were talking about me, did you ever think about how Lin Miao is acting in defiance of filial piety? She can even frame her own biological mother; what difference is there between her and a murderer?" Shu Xia retorted with a cold laugh.

"What did you say? How can she compare to Mother? Shu Xia, are you trying to sow discord between Mother and me?" Lin Miao was terrified to hear this, not expecting Shu Xia to be so bold.

It was impossible for her to acknowledge Jiang Ye!

In a fit of rage, she stomped toward Shu Xia in her high heels.

She raised her hand, intending to strike.

"Xia Xia!" Jiang Ye exclaimed.

Shu Xia grabbed Lin Miao's hand, performed a clean, reverse-hand maneuver, and pinned Lin Miao directly to the ground.

At the same time, she pressed her knee against Lin Miao's abdomen, making it impossible for Lin Miao to move at all.

She could only kick her legs in resistance.

There was no trace left of a refined young lady.

Her legs were kicking so much that one could see the color of the panties she was wearing underneath.

"Shu Xia, let me go!"

This scene happened so fast that it took people a moment to react, and by the time they did, they saw Shu Xia slapping Lin Miao across the face several times.

Lin Miao's head was left buzzing from the blows.

"Ah! Shu Xia, I'm not finished with you, I'm going to call the police, you actually hit me!" Lin Miao cried out, wondering why her whole body was aching along with her face.

Chen Xiuyue reacted and stepped forward, intending to push Shu Xia away.

Jiang Ye blocked Chen Xiuyue, "The two juniors are fighting; we elders shouldn't interfere."

She had been anxious just a moment ago, forgetting that Xia Xia never suffered any losses back when she was in the countryside.

Later, after starting high school, she had strictly forbidden Xia Xia from easily getting into fights with classmates, and Xia Xia had obediently stopped doing so.

She didn't know who Xia Xia had learned from when she was little; those hit by Xia Xia would howl in pain, yet when adults checked, they couldn't find any injuries on the children.

Later, she heard from her eldest son that Xia Xia knew the body's acupoints and would strike those points when hitting people.

In the eyes of others, the way Lin Miao was crying and screaming looked very affected.

But in Jiang Ye's eyes, it was very normal.

Just then, a cold, bone-chilling question suddenly came from the doorway, "What is going on here?"

The people in the office looked toward the door.

When Lin Miao saw the man at the door, she was so shocked and embarrassed that she wanted to cover her face.

Shu Xia, however, was somewhat surprised: Qiao Muting?

Why was he here?
