Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 923: Chapter 927: Making a Bet

But the problem was that she had just denied it, and Xie Wenhui had insisted that they didn’t give away Xie Jinfei’s crabapples. If it turned out otherwise, it would prove she lied and she would lose face completely.

“Alright!” Xie Jinfei looked at Xie Wenhui and said, “I just said, if I can’t find anyone to prove the crabapples were taken by your wife, I’ll kneel and apologize to both of you. But what will you do if I find someone who can prove that your wife gave them to her sister?”

Xie Wenhui countered, “What do you say?”

“Easy,” Xie Jinfei chuckled, “Uncle is an elder, I can’t make an elder kneel to me. Let’s do this. If it turns out that your wife really gave them to her sister, you and your wife will have to move out.”

“No way!” Jiao Tao objected first, tugging at Xie Wenhui’s clothes, “Wenhui, our parents are old, we need to stay by their side and take care of them. How can we move out?”

She had tried every trick in the book to hook up with Xie Wenhui and managed to marry into the Xie Family, living in this lavish villa. How could she move out now?

Xie Jinfei looked at her mockingly, “What? Feeling guilty? I said, if those crabapples were given away by you, you must move out. Didn’t you say you didn’t give them away? What’s the rush?”

“Exactly, what’s there to fear?” Xie Wenhui waved his hand grandly, “That’s settled then. If you can’t find a witness to prove that the crabapples were given away by your aunt, Taotao and I will move out!”

He had long been annoyed by Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, and finally catching Xie Jinfei in a fault was a perfect chance to diminish his prestige. How could he let it go?

Jiao Tao kept making desperate gestures at Xie Wenhui, tugging at his clothes trying to stop him, but he didn’t change his mind and insisted on betting with Xie Jinfei.

Jiao Tao felt hopeless and looked at Senior Madame Xie for help.

Senior Madame Xie was happily chatting with Xiao Shumiao, not even considering the argument worth noticing and didn’t give her a single glance.

Jiao Tao was about to break down.

She finally understood why Senior Master Xie, a man of distinction, could produce such a fool as Xie Wenhui; it must be the strong foolish genes of Senior Madame Xie overpowering Senior Master Xie’s sagacity.

Before she could think of a way to stop it, Xie Jinfei had already gone to find a witness.

It was actually very easy to find one.

He had earlier instructed the servants to wash the crabapples, and discovered that less than one-fifth of them were left, prompting him to immediately ask the servants what had happened.

The servants told him that the rest of the crabapples had been taken by Jiao Tao’s sister.

It was said that Jiao Tao’s mother loved crabapples, but they were seldom sold in the market.

Jiao Tao had the servants give some to her sister to take back for their mother to eat.

The servants took about a quarter for Jiao Tao’s sister, but she thought it was too little, so Jiao Tao instructed the servants to take more.

As the master, Jiao Tao was obeyed by the servants who then took half for her sister.

Jiao Tao also had the servants wash some and shared them with her sister, leaving only one-fifth of the crabapples.

For a family like the Xie’s, crabapples weren’t considered anything special; they could get any rare fruit they wanted.

The servants could never have imagined that a few pounds of crabapples could spark a huge battle in the Xie household today.

After being summoned by Xie Jinfei, the trembling servant recounted the entire incident.

Having heard this, Xie Wenhui’s face turned the color of liver, overwhelmed with shame and utterly disgraced.
