After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1374 Go and Look For Your Father

Chapter 1374 Go and Look For Your Father

Xia Xing did not know what else he could do. He knew that the Shao family liked to appear important, but he was a n.o.body in the capital now. If he went to pick up the Shao family on his own, they would definitely mock him.

Xia Wen definitely would not help him out. He had no choice but to go and beg Xia Jun for help.

At this moment, Xia Jun was drinking tea and playing chess at home. It was so rare for him to have some free time to relax. The last time when he played chess with Qiao Qiang at Qiao Mei's house, he had lost to Qiao Qiang for three to four days in a row. He was determined to brush up on his chess skills and strive to defeat Qiao Qiang the next time. He was not going to lose to Qiao Qiang for the rest of his life.

"Grandfather…" Xia Xing said as he walked up to Xia Jun in a cautious manner.

"Xiao Xing, you're here! Quick! It's so rare for you to come to my place. Sit down and play a game of chess with me!" Xia Jun said happily. He quickly picked up all the chess pieces on the chessboard and rearranged them one by one, preparing to start a new game with Xia Xing.

Xia Xing did not even notice the joy on Xia Jun's face. He was only focused on his own trivial matters. Xia Xing lowered his head and whispered to Xia Jun, "Grandfather… I'm here today because I need help with an urgent matter. I hope you can help me. I don't think I have time to play chess."

Xia Jun's hands paused for a moment as he stopped picking up the chess pieces and the curl of his lips slowly disappeared. It seemed that he was overthinking it when he thought that Xia Xing had specially come to visit him… Forget it, he did not need it anyway.

"Tell me," Xia Jun asked calmly.

"Shao Yin's maternal family is here, but I don't know where they can stay. I want to ask Grandfather if you have any suggestions…" Xia Xing said tactfully.

"Since they're in town, then ask your father to go and pick them up. Host them well. The house which Xiao Wen rented for you should be big enough to house them," Xia Jun said.

"There are more people than expected… There's not enough room at my place…" Xia Xing scratched the tip of his nose and said embarra.s.sedly.

"Then some of them can stay here. I still have so many empty rooms here," Xia Jun said as he pointed at the guest rooms upstairs.

Xia Xing looked troubled and said, "I'm afraid… I'm afraid it's still not enough…"

When Xia Jun heard what Xia Xing said, he frowned and looked at Xia Xing. If his big villa was not big enough to house them, then exactly how many people were here? Could there be more people than his second son's entire family?

"Hurry up and tell me how many people there are! Stop dilly-dallying!" Xia Jun said angrily.

"Brother Wen called me just now. There are about 30 people, but we still don't know the exact number. Anyway… it can only be more and not less. They're all waiting at the police post now," Xia Xing replied truthfully.

Xia Jun looked at Xia Xing and laughed coldly. He thought that Xia Xing had suddenly come to visit him out of filial piety, but it turned out that he was here only because he was eyeing Qiao Mei's house.

If there were so many people, there would not be enough rooms even if they booked up two entire guest houses. The only viable option would be one of Qiao Mei's new houses.

Since Xia Xing only came to inform him after these people had already arrived, that meant Xia Xing was practically forcing him to ask Qiao Mei for help. So long as he was the one asking, Qiao Mei would agree to anything. She would not even hesitate to give him that house as a gift.

However, this kind of trickery did not work on him and threats did not scare him either. He had seen all kinds of things in his long life, yet this young kid dared to scheme against him.

No way!

"Since this is an issue related to your wedding, you should go and look for your father. Why do you come and look for me? Since those people are already here, you should host them well. There are so many guest houses in the capital. Call them up one by one and see which one has s.p.a.ce to house all of them," Xia Jun said calmly.

"If we ask them to stay in the guest houses, then what about our Xia family's reputation?" Xia Xing asked.

"When you chose Shao Yin back then, the Xia family had no say in it. When they made things difficult for the Xia family, you never spoke up and asked them to stop. Now that you have problems, you're suddenly concerned about the Xia family's reputation?" Xia Jun questioned.

"Grandfather…" Before Xia Xing could speak further, Xia Jun continued," Do you still have time to talk to me about this? Weren't you very anxious just now? Go and ask the butler to arrange for a bus to pick up the Shao family members. Xia Wen and the others have been very busy recently. If you have any problems, go and look for your father. Is your father just a piece of decoration?"

Seeing that Xia Jun was unwilling to help, Xia Xing turned around and left without even saying anything. Xia Jun looked at the chessboard in front of him and shook his head as he said, "I've lost… I've completely lost…"
