Chapter 404: Chapter 402: Defeat Magic with Magic
He thought he had seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as Avril.
The Xia Family naturally believed Xia Wenyan; if he had truly done something, he would definitely admit it. fгeewebnovёl.com
Besides, they were all too clear about what tricks Avril was trying to play.
Initially, when Avril was unaware of their family’s actual circumstances, she even looked down on the three brothers.
Now that she knew, she couldn’t wait to latch onto their connections.
No, she clearly intended to brazenly impose herself on the Xia Family.
Listening to Xia Wenyan’s words, Avril once again threw herself into Wen Qingyu’s arms, putting on a pitiable face, "Auntie, look at Xia Wenyan; he actually denies it, wuu wuu wuu..."
"I acknowledge your mother! If you had any shame at all, you wouldn’t come to my house! Thinking you can force me into marrying you because of the relationship between our families, you’re dreaming! Let me tell you, Avril, I’m into men!"
Xia Wenyan, provoked by Avril, had spoken without a filter, truly shocking the Xia Family members.
Even Avril hadn’t expected that Xia Wenyan would dare to reveal his attraction to men in front of the Xia Family.
Xia Wenjue, Xia Wenqing, and Xia Wenmo, of course, didn’t believe he really liked men.
After all, Xia Wenyan was always irreverent in his actions, and spouting outrageous things was within reason.
Especially facing a woman like Avril, not to mention him, if she pushed him too far, liking men wouldn’t be out of the question.
Wen Qingyu’s brows suddenly furrowed, staring intently at Xia Wenyan, she asked word by word, "Are you really into men, young man?"
Xia Wenyan nodded repeatedly, "Of course! I even have a boyfriend already! You’ve met him before."
If not now, when else would he use his Brother Pei as a shield?

When Lu Zhaozhao arrived at the Xia Family’s place, she walked in on this exact scene.
The Xia Family members were staring at Xia Wenyan, wide-eyed.
"Uh..." Lu Zhaozhao stood awkwardly at the door, mouth agape, "Is this a bad time for me to show up?"
As soon as Xia Wenyan saw Lu Zhaozhao enter, he immediately ran to her, "Zhaozhao, you’re finally here; this woman is driving me to death..."
His tone was exceedingly pitiful as he clung to Lu Zhaozhao’s arm, the very picture of an innocent, persecuted little flower.
The Three Xia Brothers silently watched Xia Wenyan; they wouldn’t even help an old lady if she fell, but they had to hand it to their youngest brother, Lao Si.
Just a moment ago, he was fierce as anything facing Avril, but now that Lu Zhaozhao had arrived, he acted like a wounded little white lotus.
Anyone unaware of the situation would think he was the one who had just been scolded.
Lu Zhaozhao glanced over at Avril, her brows almost knotted in displeasure, "My Lao Si would never marry you, even if you pushed him to his death, it wouldn’t happen."
Avril pinched the palm of her hand but kept up her aggrieved facade, looking at Lu Zhaozhao with a whimper, "But he clearly bullied me..."
Lu Zhaozhao, hearing Avril tell such blatant lies, was utterly infuriated.
"You previously seduced a man over sixty years old, which I saw with my own eyes. And now you want to throw this filth onto my Lao Si’s back? It’s like you’re dreaming in broad daylight!"
With a single sentence, Zhaozhao left everyone from the Xia Family, including Avril, absolutely stunned.
His entire being, shaking with anger, was a result of Lu Zhaozhao’s baseless accusations.
Xia Wenyan was the first to snap out of it, looking at her with mockery, "I really couldn’t tell, Avril, you sure know how to play."
"To be able to pin this on Lao Si is quite fierce," Xia Wenmo sneered lightly, his gaze sizing up Avril as though he was seeing her for the first time today.
Xia Wenjue and Xia Wenqing exchanged glances before Xia Wenqing slowly started to speak, "Avril, I advise you to direct your grievances towards the right person, or else our family can fully sue you for slander."
No sooner had Xia Wenqing finished speaking than Xia Wenjue raised his hand to pat Wen Qingyu, "Mom, I think you should communicate this matter with Avril’s parents. If this really turned into an incident back home..."
As he said this, his gaze lingered on Avril’s stomach for a few seconds, the meaning behind his unsaid words was self-evident.
Now it was Avril’s turn to explode, "Lu Zhaozhao! When have I ever been involved with a man in his sixties? I’ve hardly met you a few times, on what grounds do you defame me like this?"
Lu Zhaozhao shrugged her shoulders, "Is it possible that you simply didn’t see me? After all, you haven’t met my fourth brother recently, yet he could hassle you, so how could I not see that sixty-something-year-old man?"
The members of the Xia Family soon realized what was happening.
Their Zhaozhao was using the same tactics against others as had been used against her.
Defeat magic with magic.
Avril also realized that Lu Zhaozhao was deliberately picking a quarrel with her, and even if she wanted to clear things up, Zhaozhao wouldn’t listen.
She simply turned her gaze directly to Wen Qingyu, "Auntie, you surely wouldn’t want my parents to know about the thing between me and Xia Wenyan, would you?"
Her words clearly carried a threat, and even Wen Qingyu couldn’t help but frown.
To be honest, if it hadn’t been for the fact that her parents were friends with them, she would have kicked this ungrateful woman out the door long ago.
Now she had the nerve to use the situation to threaten her?
Not to mention Xia Wenyan hadn’t done this, even if he had, she would rather have her son castrated than let him marry Avril.
Marry her for what?
To bring herself trouble?
Xia Wenyan gave Avril a cold look, stepped in front of Wen Qingyu, "Didn’t you hear clearly just now? I like men, I won’t possibly marry you, is there something wrong with your brain?"
He had already said this before, and with Pei Huai backing him up as his shield, he had no fears anymore.
Avril was so angry she gritted her teeth, glaring at Xia Wenyan before turning her head back to Wen Qingyu, "Auntie, are you really going to watch your son marry a man?"
Wen Qingyu didn’t speak, just silently looked at Xia Wenyan by her side, as if evaluating him with a skeptical gaze.
"Your partner is Pei Huai?" Wen Qingyu pondered for a moment before asking.
Xia Wenyan, though feeling slightly guilty, still nodded.
Wen Qingyu patted Xia Wenyan’s shoulder, "Not bad, you’ve got a good eye."
Avril stood by, completely shocked. She had thought Wen Qingyu would slap Xia Wenyan, to give him a good wakeup call.
But to let him off so lightly?
Avril’s eyebrows knotted instantly, "Auntie, the two of them together won’t be able to have children. Who will inherit his wealth in the future? I don’t mind him liking men, I can still bear him a child..."
"Stop right there! There’s absolutely no need!" Xia Wenyan didn’t even think before he cut off Avril’s words. "My future wealth? I’ll leave that to Zhaozhao’s kids. As for the Xia Family... I plan to give up my inheritance rights and transfer everything to Zhaozhao. As for me, I guess I’ll just work for her."
