Chapter 922 -926: Furious
“You, you’re talking nonsense!” Xie Wenhui’s face flushed with shame, “When did I ever give your begonia away? Don’t falsely accuse me.”
“Oh?” Xie Jinfei raised an eyebrow, “Want to confront the issue? Surely someone among the household staff saw when your wife took my begonias. Shall I call someone to ask?”
“Let’s confront it then!” Xie Wenhui bellowed, “I didn’t take them, end of story! What will you do, Xie Jinfei, if no witnesses can be found?”
“I’ll kowtow in apology to you and your wife, and I’ll buy a truckload of begonias for the two of you!” Xie Jinfei retorted with a raised eyebrow, “But what will you do if a servant can prove that it was your wife who took my begonias?”
“I…”
“Enough, stop arguing!” Xie Wenhui had just said “I” when he was cut off by Senior Master Xie.
Senior Master Xie was almost fainting with anger, his face ashen as he said, “Aren’t you ashamed? Arguing over a few begonias like this, aren’t you afraid of becoming the laughingstock of others if word gets out? This matter ends here. It’s not to be mentioned again!”
Only four words occupied Senior Master Xie’s mind right now: “Family’s unfortunate disgrace.”
It was his lack of guidance that caused such chaos in the family.
In front of Gu Junzhu, his son and grandson were fighting over a few begonias, and he felt as if he had lost all his dignity, wishing he could just burrow into the ground and hide.

“Uncle Xie, don’t feel embarrassed,” Gu Junzhu smirked with a curl at the corner of his lips, speaking leisurely, “The issue with the begonias is trivial, but character is significant. Right and wrong must be clarified. Whoever took the begonias, took those that Xiao Fei had prepared for my father. I, too, would like to know who took away the token of regard meant for my father.”
Seeing Gu Junzhu support him, Xie Jinfei felt even more confident and glared at Xie Wenhui, saying, “Uncle, tell me, if I find a witness that proves the begonias were given by your wife to her sister, what will you do?”
“Let it go, Wenhui,” Jiao Tao stopped Xie Wenhui before he could speak, smiling at Xie Jinfei and saying, “Actually, I don’t have to eat begonias either, other fruits would be just fine. Beibei and Young Master Gu have come from afar, how improper it would be for us to argue in front of them? Beibei, what else do you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it for you.”
Jiao Tao looked warmly and affectionately at Ye Xingbei as she smiled.
She had figured out that Xie Jinfei was protective of his sister.
By being kind to Ye Xingbei, she was certain she could please Xie Jinfei.
Then Xie Jinfei might let go of the issue with the begonias.
“How can we just let it go?” Xie Wenhui spoke furiously, “You’re pregnant, and when you ate a few begonias he gave you attitude, even slandering you for stealing his begonias. He clearly doesn’t respect you as his aunt. We can’t just let this go!”
Jiao Tao kept tugging on his clothes, trying to stop him, but Xie Wenhui simply wouldn’t back down.
Jiao Tao’s face was turning green with anger, inwardly cursing Xie Wenhui as a fool.
Indeed, the begonias had been given away to her sister, and even Senior Master Xie had realized this, providing them an opportunity to step down gracefully. But this fool, Xie Wenhui, just couldn’t see it and insisted on bickering with Xie Jinfei.
No wonder, as a son of the Xie Family, he could let his own nephew snatch away the inheritance. Truly pig-headed!
She had ordered the servants to give the begonias to her sister, to show off the status of Madame Xie, and it could all be traced back if investigated.
Where would she put her face if it came out later?
In fact, it wasn’t even a big deal—just a few pounds of begonias, not some precious commodity. If she had admitted it right from the start with generosity, it would have only made Xie Jinfei look petty.
