Chapter 621: 609

"The Song family is a relative of ours, and that’s our mother’s family. If anything happens to the Song family, do you want her to die?" Xia Qing says righteously to Xia Xi

Xia Xi shakes her head, still rejecting Xia Qing’s statement.

"Brother, look at her. The Song family is our maternal family, and you know how much our mother values them. If the Song family really falls, our mother might try to commit suicide when the time comes." Xia Qing can’t help but feel irritated at the thought of the ensuing chaos, and the prospects of the Song family seeking help here.

As for the Song family, she’s actually not that close to them. She knows that her maternal grandparents value sons more than daughters and look down on her. Only because of her mother’s love and her status as the daughter of the Xia family does she not get bullied like Xia Yue and Xia Xi.

"Xixi, is the Song family really beyond saving? Will people die?" Xia Yu asks Xia Xi.

"It depends on the situation. In the best case scenario, no one will die, the family might go bankrupt at most, and then lead a life barely scraping by, never rising again, no matter what they do."

"The worst case scenario, people will die, depending on the roles the Song family members play in this matter."

"Of course, if they’re lucky and I’m still in Kyoto, I might be able to save their lives. But I can’t guarantee they’ll come out of it unscathed. If I’m not there, then it’s up to their luck," Xia Xi said.

"Then you should stay in Kyoto from now on." Xia Qing said.

"You must be joking. I have so much work to do, I don’t have that much time to stay in Kyoto." Xia Xi responded with a roll of her eyes.

"I knew it. You’re just talking nonsense, scaring people." Xia Qing points at her in anger and leaves.

"Finally, she left." Xia Xi watched her walk upstairs and sigh in relief, worried that she would continue her tirade and demand she protects the Song family.

"Xixi, were you telling the truth earlier? You weren’t just trying to scare us?" Xia Yu asks gently.

"Of course it’s true. Why would I scare you? It’s precisely because I knew that they’re in for trouble that I restrained myself. Otherwise, the words Song Yaotian said today would be enough for me to fracture his whole body," Xia Xi said, a cold glint in her eyes, speaking her true dislike for Song Yaotian.

"Brother, I remember that our family has several projects in collaboration with the Song family. Should we start preparing to cut ties, or find new partners? If the Song family really faces a crisis, we won’t be impacted too much, right?" Xia Yue asks Xia Yu.

"Indeed. We’d better prepare for the worst. If something happens to the Song family, it would significantly impact our company," Xia Yu nods.

"Take this, in case there’s an accident. These few, give it to Xia Qing, and our parents. All of you carry the essence of the Song family.

If things really go south, you might get implicated as well. I might not always be around, so it’s better to be prepared." Xia Xi took out four jade gourds from her pocket and handed them to Xia Yu.

"Okay, thank you Xixi." Xia Yu gratefully accepts them.

"Don’t tell them I gave these, or they definitely won’t accept them." Xia Xi reminded him.

"I know." Xia Yu is well aware of the attitudes of Xia Qing and their parents.

At dinner, Song Qin didn’t come downstairs to eat, instead, she had her meal brought to her room.

Xia Linyao, Xia Linjun, and the rest didn’t return home until very late.

The next day, everyone who had gatherings to attend went out early, even Song Qin who had fainted from anger the previous day left early.

Only Xia Yue was at ease, not having to attend any banquets or feasts.

Xia Xi couldn’t be bothered to go either, she stayed home with Xia Yue to keep the elderly company.
