Xia He's arrival put Chen Lian's heart at ease.
"Our son was beaten up by Xia Chen," she said hurriedly. "Now Xia Wan's like a crazy person. She's even banging her head against the wall. She wants to embarrass the entire Xia family."
As she spoke, she looked at Li Jin as if she was protesting her injustice. "Sigh. I really pity our mother. She's already so old, but she still has a troublesome granddaughter. These children are just playing around. How did it get to this extent? If word gets out, how will others look at the Xia family?"
"It seems that the girls raised by the Xia family are all shrewd and show no respect to their elders. She would say ten words when the elders say one."
Hearing Chen Lian's words, Li Jin felt that she was right.
She went up to Xia Hai and lectured him, "Look at the good daughter you've raised. How dare she disobey me, her elder? I can't control her now, can I?"
