Chapter 1228 - Xia Yehua’s Marriage (23)

That last remark was meant for Li Mao.

He was speechless.

Looking at the Senior Madam helplessly, he started, “Mom—”

“Don’t you call me Mom! If we don’t get this sorted today, I won’t leave. Not only did you kill my daughter, you’re going to kill me as well.”

Senior Madam Zhang sat on the sofa, heaving and patting her chest in fury after saying this.

Zhang Yuan’s sister-in-law hurried over to her and held her, patting the old lady’s back, trying to sooth her.

The Senior Madam looked up at Xia Yehua and continued, “If you don’t come clean and tell me how my daughter died, you can dream about getting married. Otherwise, you will go ahead with it over my cold and lifeless body!”

The more she spoke, the more agitated she got. She was heaving visibly.

Everyone was at a loss for words.

Shen Zihao frowned but didn’t dare to get into a fight with a sickly old lady.

The old lady waited to calm down a little and then started to lament with reddened eyes, “My poor, pitiful daughter, you died for no good reason. How do you expect your Mom to go on? I already said at the time, don’t marry this Li Mao, his heart was elsewhere, but you were silly. Were you very sad before you died? Were you furious? Especially at this tr*mp Xia Yehua...”

In tears, the Senior Madam stood up and tottered over to Xia Yehua, raising her hand to slap her. “Tr*mp! I will avenge my daughter today!”

Xia Yehua stood there still, while the people around desperately rushed forward as that hand came down and was about to make contact.

Then...

Bam. The slap hit her.

The room fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at Li Mao. Usually gentle, the man was now frowning as he exclaimed anxiously, “Mom, how could you hit her?”

The Senior Madam was an elder after all and had little strength. The slap hadn’t come down too hard.

But that action was enough to anger everyone in Xia Yehua’s family.

They all stood up, stepping forward in fury.

How many of them were Shen family members and how many were Zhang family members?

Of course, the members of the Zhang family started to panic.

The Senior Madam pointed at the advancing Shen Zihao and others, saying, “What are you trying to do?”

Shen Zihao replied icily, “Old lady, we, the Shen family, do not welcome you. Please get out!”

How dared she hit Xia Yehua and furthermore, right there in the Shen Villa? This old lady was crazy for sure.

Zhang Yuan’s elder brother stepped forward quickly and said, “Don’t be rash, my mother is old and does not take threats. Also, I think this matter has to be resolved. Otherwise, like Mom says, we won’t leave!”

Zhang Yuan’s sister-in-law agreed, “That’s right, there has to be justice, things have to be cleared out to have peace and harmony. If you use force, we’ll call the police.”

After they said, Li Mao stepped forward and said, “Brother, Sister-in-law, Zhang Yuan and I were married many years and I never begged you for any help. But today, I, Li Mao, beg of you! Please leave for now. Don’t cause trouble here, is that alright?”

“Beg?! Li Mao you must be eaten by a guilty conscience! You think we will just let it go because you begged us?!”
