Chapter 171 Lao Deng, who are you trying to scare?
If it was simply about Xiao Zian being beaten, Xiao Zhengqing could have just asked directly, but the old fox never said a word, which made her feel a little uneasy.
Chu He took a deep breath. She hadn't married Xiao Cheng yet, so she wasn't a member of the Xiao family and had nothing to be afraid of.
"Uncle, what's the matter that brought me here?"
After hearing the little girl speak, Xiao Zhengqing put down the teacup and looked at Chu He seriously.
"Yeah. Xiao He, you're a smart kid too. How could you not know why I asked you to come here? It can't be just for tea and a chat, right?"
"You might as well say it."
Xiao Zhengqing tapped the table lightly with his fingers, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"You are half a member of the Xiao family. You should also call our Zi'an "big brother". We are all family, so why should we always pick on him?"
Chu He snorted inwardly, "How unreasonable! He's already old, yet he's so shameless."
It was clearly Xiao Zian who caused trouble for her, but now she is the one who is wrong.
"Uncle, did you misunderstand? Xiao Zian and I are not familiar with each other at all. You should ask him why he always picks on me?"
Chu He's tone was a bit harsh. She had originally intended to explain herself properly, but after hearing what Xiao Zhengqing said, she felt really aggrieved.
The old man didn't mention a single word about his lecherous son.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengqing frowned slightly, his face looking a little ugly.
It seemed that he didn't expect that this girl would be so disrespectful to him.
After a moment's silence, he spoke, "Well, my son, I understand. Perhaps he was a little offensive to you before. It's natural for young people to act impulsively when they see a beautiful girl. But you are Ah Cheng's fiancée now, and you will be the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family in the future. It would be bad if you disturbed the family peace before you even entered the house."
Chu He was so angry that she almost laughed at Xiao Zhengqing's words. He was really good at confusing right and wrong and putting the blame on others.
He thought this was a palace drama in a deep mansion, and he threatened her, "Who are you trying to scare, old man?"
Thinking about the last time he came to the Xiao family's old house, Xiao Zhengqing wanted to execute Xiao Cheng on the spot. It seems that this matter is not so easy to get over.
"Uncle, you can't talk to me about family peace. Xiao Cheng and I haven't got a marriage certificate. Xiao Cheng has so many women outside. It's not certain whether I can be your Xiao family's daughter-in-law! So, if you want a peaceful family, you should take care of your son first."
After all, he was half a member of the second house, so he naturally couldn't let the second young master Xiao lose face.
Thinking of this, Chu He felt secretly much happier.
Xiao Zhengqing obviously didn't expect Chu He to refute him so directly, and his face turned blue with anger.
He snorted coldly and swept the teacup on the table away.
The teacup filled with hot water first hit Chu He's arm and then fell to the ground.
With a crisp "click" sound, porcelain pieces shattered all over the floor, and hot water splashed directly onto Chu He's arm.
Unfortunately, she was wearing a chiffon shirt today. The fabric was thin and the hot water easily penetrated her skin, turning it red in an instant. She gasped in pain and almost cried out.
She bit her lower lip, enduring the burning sensation in her arm, and met Xiao Zhengqing's eyes coldly.
Xiao Zhengqing put away his disguise and looked stern.
"Speaking disrespectfully to your elders is how your Chu family taught you the rules! Don't think that just because Xiao Cheng is backing you up, you can disrespect your elders and do whatever you want in the Xiao family."
