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.
