After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

She dared to confront her eldest brother, and she also dared to be rude to Han Xiao, just because they were all her blood relatives.

But Mr. Zhou is different.

He is an outsider.

He is also an outsider with an unusual status.

Even Han Sheng was a junior in front of him, not to mention Han Ying who had never really been in charge of the Han family.

Facing Mr. Zhou's questioning, Han Ying broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing her hesitating and trying desperately to explain, Mr. Zhou snorted coldly: "Since you have never cared about the Han family's affairs and you can't decide Han Xiao's marriage, then just say less and go head-to-head with your nephew. What’s in it for you?”

Han Ying opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word. She could only remain silent and sit aside, her face uglier than the bottom of the pot.

Mr. Zhou's face softened a lot and he said to Han Sheng again: "That's it. Han Xiao, please go and communicate with him. I still want to solve it as soon as possible."

"it is good."

After sending Mr. Zhou away, Han Ying finally shouted: "What the hell, Han Sheng, you are too spoiled to your son, so lawless!"

"To shut up!"

Han Sheng couldn't bear it any longer and scolded Han Ying so hard that she could barely react.

"Brother, are you being mean to me?" She couldn't accept it.

"These days, you are very busy jumping up and down. I am too concerned about the relationship between brother and sister to talk to you directly, but you are becoming more and more outrageous! Han Xiao is my son. How to educate and discipline is my own business. , it’s not your turn as an aunt always rushes to the front.”

Han Sheng's words were very straightforward, and Han Ying found them very harsh.

"What do you mean I'm always at the forefront? You can't suppress that kid? Now that it's like this, you're not allowed to ride on top of us and run wild in the future?"

"He got it by his own ability, not what I am used to. You dote on your children. How many of them are as promising as Han Xiao?"

Han Sheng's short sentence left his sister speechless.

He simply caught up and spoke like a barrage: "This is my family's business. Don't talk nonsense in the name of the Han family in the future. Who asked you to summon those people to Fuhai Garden to cause trouble for Han Xiao and Taotao? ? That Mrs. Zhou has no ability to begin with, and is not favored by the Zhou family. You are so close to her, and you almost ruined our big event, do you know? "

"I……"

Han Ying did not expect that she would be half buried in the earth, and one day she would be lectured by her elder brother so that she could not hold her head up.

Xu Zhenhui said coolly at the side: "I don't blame your elder brother for being angry. We just agreed that the Zhou family would take the initiative to seek peace. We don't need to lower our posture. It was Zhou Xi'er who was wrong in the first place."

Han Ying was anxious: "You clearly knew before..."

"I didn't know about it before. I was afraid that Han Xiao would cause trouble and I didn't dare to say anything, so I thought of apologizing in advance to give both parties a step down. Now that Mr. Zhou is here, what else is there to say? They are going to hold an apology banquet. , invite Ah Xiao and Taotao, we elders can’t trample on the younger generation’s face under our feet.”

When it comes to talking, a hundred Han Yings are no match for Xu Zhenhui.

As a sister-in-law, she spoke softly and politely.

Han Ying's face darkened: "So, it's me who is meddling in other people's business?"

"Do you know it yourself?" Han Sheng said impatiently.

"Okay." She laughed angrily, "I'm just worrying. From now on, I won't care. Just watch as Han Xiao replaces you!"

She turned her eyes to Xu Zhenhui and sneered even more, "And you, he has not forgotten what happened back then. After so many years, does he regard you as his biological mother? Hmph, you can weigh it yourself."

Xu Zhenhui's smile sank.

Han Ying turned and left angrily.

The news that the Zhou family was going to hold an apology banquet quickly reached Xia Taozhi's ears.

She originally wanted to visit her father in the hospital, but there were too many things to do. Han Xiao made an appointment for her next Monday, and she could only see her father through video.

Fortunately, the nurse Han Xiao found was very reliable, which made Xia Taozhi feel relieved.

The apology banquet was held at Green Manor.

Two days later, Xia Taozhi came here again with Han Xiao, only to feel that things were different and people were different.

Compared with the last birthday banquet, there were many fewer people at this banquet.

Those who could attend were all close relatives and friends of the Han and Zhou families. Even so, there were still two tables full of people.

The elegant flower hall was full of people, and the windows on three sides facing north and south were wide open. The sun was shining brightly outside, and the breeze was blowing, giving it a beautiful scenery of late spring and early summer.

But such good weather couldn't stop Zhou Xier's gloomy face.

She has been discharged from hospital.

Even if she can't be discharged from the hospital, the Zhou family must let her come forward now.

She walked up to Xia Taozhi with a glass of wine in her hand.

In front of everyone, Zhou Xi'er reluctantly said: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Han... I was too reckless before and hurt you. I'm really sorry. Can you forgive me?"

Xia Taozhi slowly raised his eyes.

It was clearly Zhou Xier and her brother who did it that day, and she was the only one who came out to apologize in the end.

Obviously, Zhou Xi'er was pulled out to be the top one.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Mr. Zhou was full of sincerity.

So he took the initiative to make peace, but did not show up at today's apology banquet, in order to leave the matter to the juniors to resolve on their own.

Being pressured by elders to resolve conflicts is worse than taking the initiative on their own.

It's a pity that Mr. Zhou's intentions may be let down.

Xia Taozhi never expressed his position.

Zhou Xier's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly in mid-air.

Her eyes were full of panic and impatience, and the corners of her mouth were trying to raise to look gentle and courteous.

After taking a deep look at Zhou Xi'er, Xia Taozhi said, "The number of people is wrong, isn't it? Why won't your brother come and apologize?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Xier's expression changed, but a surprise flashed in her eyes.

She reluctantly said: "Mrs. Han, this is all my fault. Please forgive me."

"What you said means that if you apologize, I must forgive you?"

"Of course not. I will compensate you for all my income this year."

Xia Taozhi thought for a while and said what she had wanted to say for a long time but never had the chance to say: "Do you think I am short of money?"

Zhou Xier's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

"Or do you think my husband is short of money?"

Han Xiao stood aside and gave her an appreciative chuckle.

"So, this is the sincerity of the apology given by your Zhou family?" She sneered, "Obviously two people did it together, but you were asked to apologize alone. Why, the young master of the Zhou family is so precious that he can't bear to show up?"

"No, this matter is my fault and has nothing to do with my brother..."

"If this is the attitude of the Zhou family, then I don't think there is any need to continue this apology banquet." Xia Taozhi smiled distantly and politely.

"Honey, let's go home."
