When the old madam came, she heard Madam Li lecturing her most beloved grandson like an elder. Even though the old madam was kind-hearted, she didn't like it.
An outsider had no right to teach Xia Xinhui's child a lesson!
Xia Jinyuan's handsome face turned dark when he saw that the old madam was here. He hurriedly walked over and greeted her, "Grandma, why are you here? I told you that I would handle it."
"You've finished talking to your mother. Now, something else is happening. If I don't appear, you'll be slapped in your own house."
"I won't let anyone hit me. You should…"
Xia Jinyuan wanted to persuade her, but the old madam just looked at him with a smile. Xia Jinyuan knew that he couldn't persuade her.
The old madam walked in without looking sideways. When she reached Madam Xiao, who was still sitting on the ground, she instructed Aunt Fang calmly, "The floor is cold. Help her up."
Aunt Fang nodded lightly. She helped the old madam sit down before bending down to help Madam Xiao up.
Madam Li was proud and arrogant in front of Xia Jinyuan. Although she was afraid of the old madam, she was so angry that her chest hurt. She couldn't care less for a moment and said angrily to the old madam, "Old Madam, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'll make a fuss until everyone knows about it. I'll let everyone know just how the Xia family educates their youths!
"He wantonly insulted his guest and disrespected his elder. Is this the Xia family's teaching?"
A brothel owner? A pimp?
How ridiculous!
This was the first time she, Li Chenglan, had suffered such a huge humiliation in her 60s!
The old madam sat on the armchair in the main hall. Aunt Fang stood at the side and gently fanned her with an old fan. The old madam, who came from a prestigious family, had the elegance of the older generation in her bones. No one dared to cause trouble in front of her.
"Explanation? What explanation do you want me to give you?"
The old madam smiled. Her weathered eyes were gentle and calm as she looked at Madam Li, who was glaring at her angrily. Her old voice came unhurriedly. "Madam Li, you came to our Xia family to cause trouble. Do you want us to give you an explanation for that?
"How about this? Why don't you tell us why we should give you an explanation first? I'll listen first. After listening, I'll see if we should really give you an explanation."
Madam Li looked at the old madam, who was sitting high in the main hall with her eyes slightly lowered. The anger in her heart could not be dispelled. "Old Madam, do you mean that I'm being unreasonable?"
"There are only consequences if there's a precedent. Who's unreasonable and who's reasonable? We have to look at the precedent first. You tell me, and I'll listen. Tell me in detail. Don't pick and choose the details."
As soon as the old madam finished speaking, her voice suddenly turned cold. Unknowingly, her majestic aura assaulted Madam Li's face. She was so shocked that her heart trembled. Even her confidence dissipated.
She seemed to hear a hidden meaning in the old madam's words.
Don't pick and choose the details…
At the thought of this, the anger in Madam Li's heart dissipated a lot. She calmly pondered over the meaning behind the old madam's words.
After calming down, Madam Li knew that she had made a huge mistake.
No matter how domineering she was outside, in front of the older generation, she had to lower her chin. However, she was angered by Xia Jinyuan just now and glared at the old madam… She was wrong.
