1235 We Are a Family

“Why? Is Auntie Zhou’s intention for our family to take care of everything?” Xia Wen asked.

That was exactly Zhou Luo’s intentions. Since the Xia family’s eldest son and his own family had received so many things from Xia Jun and Wu Min, what was wrong with asking them to fork out some money?

Furthermore, she had helped to bring up three grandsons of the Xia family. Xia Lu and Xia Yan were two very promising young men. They might even be able to come out with inventions for the country. When that time came, they would be more capable than anyone else in the Xia family!

How could the Xia family not thank her for her efforts? If Xia Mao’s family did not even want to help them with something as minor as wedding expenses, then when Xia Jun died, this eldest son’s family would end up taking over everything in the Xia family!

Zhou Luo definitely could not let this happen. She must fight for the three children!

There was a reason why she insisted on bringing up these three children all this while and refused to hand them back to the Xia family. They were her “hostages”! Only then would the Xia family be respectful to the Zhou family and nothing bad would ever happen to them. She naturally must hold on to something so useful.

Although Zhou Luo did take good care of the children wholeheartedly, her intentions were not pure at all.

“There’s only the banquet to pay for. How much money can it cost? We’re all family and it’s so tacky to talk about money. Xiao Wen, what you just said is so hurtful to everyone,” Zhou Luo said as she looked at Xia Wen sadly.

“You are talking about two different matters. Our family can indeed help Xia Xing and my future cousin-in-law to find a suitable restaurant in the capital, or we can also find someone to organize the ceremony. After all, Xia Xing is still the child of Third Uncle and Third Aunt-in-law, so it’s up to them to decide,” Xia Wen said tactfully.

The meaning between the lines was that Zhou Luo was being a busybody. Since Xia Xing’s parents were still around, it was not her place to come to the Xia family to make demands.

Sitting opposite Xia Wen, Zhou Luo was almost bursting with anger. However, given that she was the one asking for help, she had to control her emotions and not let Xia Wen succeed in his plan.

Xia Jun relaxed when he saw that Xia Wen was able to subdue Zhou Luo. After that, he began to observe Shao Yin. This girl was a little strange. It was not because of her looks and personality, but because her eyes had never left Xia Wen the entire time she was here. He wondered if Xia Wen had noticed this.

“My younger sister is busy, so she has asked me to handle these things for her. The Xia family is rich and powerful. Are you really going to quibble about this bit of money? At most, all of you are exempted from giving Xia Xing red packets when he gets married,” Zhou Luo said righteously, as if Xia Wen and the others had taken advantage of her.

Did she mean that the Xia family’s eldest son had to pay for the booking of the hotel and the reception for the wedding, as well as for everything else? That would cost more than 5,000 dollars!

It was an amount of money that would take an ordinary person more than a year to save up!

Comparatively, how much money would they need to fork out for the red packets? Zhou Luo was really scheming. She wanted to collect the wedding gifts for free while the Xia family’s eldest son paid for all the expenses.

Xia Mao’s family was not made up of fools! They did not owe Xia Guang’s family anything. Instead, it was Xia Guang’s family who owed a favor to Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei, and a huge favor at that!

“Our family is not that capable. At most, we can help Xia Xing with the hotel booking. You guys will have to handle the rest yourselves,” Xia Wen said firmly.

“Xiao Wen, you’re really too humble. Aren’t you a high-ranking official now? Isn’t there anyone who wants to curry favor with you?” Zhou Luo asked.

“Auntie Zhou, you flatter me. I’m n.o.body there, just an employee. There’s only so much our family can do. We really can’t help with anything else. We still have to take care of two newborn babies! We really don’t have any excess money,” Xia Wen said.

“We can hold the wedding at your sister-in-law’s house. Firstly, it will save money and secondly, it will be much more convenient. What do you think?” Zhou Luo repeated her request. Xia Jun had disagreed with this idea earlier, but it was Xia Wen negotiating now. If Xia Wen agreed, Xia Jun would not be able to reject the idea.

“That’s not possible. My sister-in-law’s house is definitely out of the question, even if the couple agree. They have two young children at home now. They’re the future of our Xia family. Auntie Zhou, will you take responsibility if anything happens to them?” Xia Wen said.

“Why should I take responsibility? Besides, it’s just two children. What can happen to them?” Zhou Luo said nonchalantly. She did not understand why these two children were so precious and warranted such care.
