Li Jin glared at him. “She already did it. Why can’t she let people talk about it?”

When Xia Hai heard this, he looked at Xia Wan and asked, “Wanwan, what’s going on?”

Xia Wan also pretended to be pitiful as her tears fell. “Dad, I didn’t hook up with any man. It’s because the man that Zhu likes confessed to me, but I didn’t accept him. Zhu Li thought that I was stealing her man, so she made someone push me into the water.

“Dad, you might not know that I actually can’t swim. At that time, my cousins Xia Ru and Xia Ye were right beside me, but they didn’t save me. They only took a few glances and ran away.

“I kept struggling in the water, hoping that someone would come and save me. I thought that the two cousins must have left to find someone.

“But no, they just got scared and ran away. They didn’t even think of saving me. If Uncle Liu didn’t save me, I would have been dead.

“Mom saw that I was very sick, so she wanted to ask grandma for an egg. But grandma said that I was a girl and didn’t deserve to eat eggs. She said that I just fell into the water and would be fine in a while.

Xia Wan then wiped her tears and said, “Dad, am I really your biological daughter? Why doesn’t Grandma care about me? Why do I feel that she hopes I might as well just die?”

Xia Hai’s heart ached when he heard this and saw Xia Wan crying so pitifully. He almost cried as well.

“Wanwan, it’s all Dad’s fault. I didn’t protect you well.” Xia Hai stood up and pulled Xia Wan into his arms. After hearing what she had said, he was still afraid.

If Liu Shan hadn’t rushed over to save his child, he would not have been able to see Wanwan today.

Just thinking about it made Xia Hai’s heart ache.

Seeing that Xia Hai was no longer comforting her and was instead protecting Xia Wan, Li Jin became enraged.

Chen Lian saw that Xia Wan was bringing up this matter again and knew that if she did not let it go, it would have a bad impact on Xia Ye’s reputation. She looked at the pitiful Xia Yu and said, “That matter has already passed. Aren’t you fine now? Look at our Xia Yu. He can’t move his entire arm now. He must have broken it. If we go to the doctor, it will cost a lot.”

“How about this, we’re all at fault for what happened today, but Xia Hai, you’ll have to pay for Xia Yu’s medical expenses.”

When Xia Wan heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to give Chen Lian a slap. How could she be so shameless?

It was clearly Xia Yu who came to steal the food. If this were to have happened a few years later, she would’ve been sentenced, but Chen Lian still felt that it was a misdemeanor and a small deal.

On the other hand, now that Xia Yu’s arm was injured, she could ask their family for money?

What a joke. Xia Yu was trying to steal from them now.

Xia Wan peeked her head out from Xia Hai’s embrace and sneered at Chen Lian, “Second Aunt, do you think that you can bully my father as you please because he’s honest?

“I’ve already explained clearly why Xia Yu was injured. If my brother Xia Chen was the one who was injured today, would you pay for his medical treatment?

“Not only do you know how to do it, but you even know how to say that this is just child’s play. How can you take anything seriously?”

Before Chen Lian could say anything, Xia Wan had already finished her sentence.

Chen Lian choked. If Xia Chen were the one who was injured today, she would have done as Xia Wan had said and let the matter go. How could she pay Xia Chen’s medical fees? She should stop dreaming.

However, the situation was different now. The one who was injured was their precious Xia Yu.

Xia Hai’s family had two sons, but their family only had one. They were counting on Xia Yu to support the family in the future, so how could something like that happen to him?

At this moment, Yan Han rushed over and stood beside Xia Wan. He held her hand and said, “Don’t worry, Wanwan. With me here, no one can bully you.”

Then, she glared at Xia Hai as if he was an accomplice.

Xia Hai felt a little aggrieved. He was in a difficult position as well.
