Madam Xia quickly got up from her seat for fear that anything wrong might happen. "I'll go and take a look."
"I'll go with you." Ou Yangqian was worried when she realized that her daughter was alone with a mentally ill patient. She placed the napkin on the table and smiled. The reason she gave was insincere. "Yuan'er wanted to take a look upstairs. I'm intrigued after she had put it that way."
However…
They heard Madam Xia's screams when they went upstairs.
"What's wrong?" Both Li Wenyan and Xia Zhengguo got up from their seats immediately.
The entire villa was soon filled with Li Yuan'er's cries.
Li Wenyan's facial expression shifted a little. He went upstairs first.
When he followed the cries and came to the bedroom, what he saw was a mess.
Madam Xia was holding tightly to a youth whose hair was messy and had on him a ferocious facial expression. He wore nothing on the upper part of his body and he had unzipped his pants halfway. His black boxer was seen.
On the bed…
Ou Yangqian had wrapped the blanket around Li Yuan'er and she was now hugging Li Yuan'er tightly.
Li Yuan'er's slip dress was torn and she was trembling vigorously.
"It's fine…" Ou Yangqian's eyes became swollen. She whispered in her daughter's ears and consoled her softly, "Mom is here. Don't be scared."
Xia Zhengguo and the servants came soon after.
It was too late for the servants to leave when they had witnessed the entire scene.
Especially…
Xia Lang's bodily response.
Surely, they would know what had happened in the bedroom as long as they were not fools.
"It's Tang Li…" Li Yuan'er screamed aloud. "She locked me up inside the bedroom. She did it…"
Tang Li reached the bedroom just in time to hear Li Yuan'er's complaints.
"She has locked the door. I couldn't get out." Li Yuan'er cried vigorously. The tears flowed down her cheeks and her eyeliners were smudged. "I wanted to shout for help but I couldn't…"
"It's fine now."
Ou Yangqian's hugged her in her embrace. She continued to console her, "Mom and Dad are here. It's fine."
Li Wenyan stood by the bed and he did not know what to do.
It was too sudden and they had even forgotten to dismiss the servants.
Xia Zhengguo walked up to his wife. "What happened?"
His facial expression worsened.
The two families had gathered that day to talk over their arranged marriage. Now, they had not even managed to make a decision when another daughter from the Li family had created a mess with his son.
Even if they had not slept together, it would still be the same if the rumors were spread.
The others would not care about the arranged marriage. They would just gossip about the fact that the young master from the Xia family had slept with the younger sister of his future bride. It would surely be a great mess and they would become a laughing stock to the public.
Moreover, it had happened in the Xia family.
Xia Zhengguo and his wife had never spoken about their son's illness.
They were selfish when it came to their son. Clearly, they sided with their son.
To them, Xia Lang was just a quiet son with a bad temper. So, they had never planned to bring up his son's mental illness even though they planned to arrange a marriage with the Li family.
If their son was mentally healthy, surely they would never have wanted an illegitimate daughter as his wife.
They believed that Xia Lang would become better after he was married and had become a father.
A man who had become a father would surely know how to control himself.
But…
Their dinner had turned out to be a mess.
Madam Xia was consoling his son too. She did not want her son to throw a tantrum again in front of the Li family. She could only explain softy, "When we pushed open the door, it was a mess. Langlang was on top of Yuan'er…"
