Chapter 347: Chapter 345: Do You Have Any Morals at All?!
He absolutely couldn’t let down his affluent patron’s "feeding".
Exchanging favors was only right!
"Fourth Brother... I never expected to meet you here." Xia Wenjin, upon seeing Xia Wenyan, stared at him with an aggrieved expression, as if everyone else present was invisible. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Xia Wenyan coldly glanced at her and sneered, "You didn’t expect to see me here? Do you think the official announcement on the official Weibo is for show, or did you not look at the contract when you came? Please, there’s a limit to playing the pity card."
His words instantly made Xia Wenjin’s face stiffen, and the other guests also gave Xia Wenjin another look.
They knew somewhat about the issues between Xia Wenyan and Xia Wenjin.
They had come to this show because they were aiming for its popularity to piggyback on its heat.
At such a time, there were essentially two sides to take, either standing with Xia Wenjin to defend the weak against the strong or standing with Xia Wenyan to abuse power with the support of others.
No matter which side they chose, they could gain attention; this was why their agents were so desperate to get them a spot on the show.
However, though bullying with power could make one notorious, it was still negative fame, not as admirable as defending the weak.
But the controversy of negative fame was greater, so they hesitated somewhat.
Meng Xixi was the first to stand up, walk to Xia Wenjin’s side, and firmly grasped her arm, glaring at Xia Wenyan, "Xia Wenyan, aren’t you going too far? Jin is just a girl who said a single sentence, and you lash out at her like that? Don’t you have any gentlemanly conduct?"
Xia Wenyan glanced at Meng Xixi with cool disdain, "I’m not a gentleman. Why do I need gentlemanly conduct?"
Meng Xixi was left speechless by Xia Wenyan’s retort.
Seeing Meng Xixi rush in first, the other performers secretly gritted their teeth; such a good opportunity had been wasted.
It was their fault for being one step too slow, but fortunately, Meng Xixi’s support wasn’t successful, so the others also started to chatter and back her up.
Guo Qi spoke loudly, "Xia Wenyan, remember we’re still filming a show here. Please restrain yourself a bit, if not for me, then for the sake of face."
Xia Wenyan suddenly laughed, "Give you face? Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re Red-Haired Shanks, and everyone needs to give you face?"
"Xia Wenyan, picking on whoever you see is too much! Can’t you discuss things properly? Is this how you treat your fans?!" Li Xue clenched her fists, looking indignant.
Standing hand in hand with her, Li Mei nodded in agreement, "Exactly, even if you are the Xia Family Group’s young master, you should still be reasonable, right?"
Xia Wenyan just stood there with hands on hips, "All of you pass judgment without knowing what happened, moral kidnapping me; am I not allowed to retort? So what if I’m the Xia Family Group’s young master? Is being wealthy a crime?"
[Moon Thoughts: Hahaha, way to go, my Yanyan! A good comeback! Being rich isn’t a crime, but I’m jealous, lemons on the lemon tree, below it you and me!]
[YY Means More: Tsk tsk... Xia Wenyan is indeed arrogant. It’s pathetic to think of what kind of life Xia Wenjin had with the Xia Family, it brings tears to my eyes (Ĭ^Ĭ)]
[Thunder My Baby: If the person above is sick, go get a number and seek treatment. She lived with the Xia Family with clothing, food, shelter, and transportation that an average person can’t earn in a lifetime; and still, she’s mistreated? Someone wake them up!]
[Mango Puddinger: I’m peeing yellow; I’ll go first! Damn, I hate self-righteous people the most! Even the Leshan Giant Buddha would have to give up his seat for you!]
[I Went Green: Ahhh!!! I hate it when people rush to judge without knowing the facts! The green tea bitch around my ex was just like that! Ptooey! Death to all green tea bitches!]
[Words to the Moon: The person above, you’re off topic... but seeing your name, emmm, condolences.]
...
Pei Huai stood by Xia Wenyan’s side, watching him ready to take on an army with words, and raised his hand to rub Xia Wenyan’s head, "Don’t be so angry, some people have had a mean streak for more than just a day or two."
Xia Wenyan nodded, about to regain his composure, when he heard Xia Wenjin’s pitiful voice ring out again, "Big brother, I really had no other choice but to spill the beans, if it weren’t for you all..."
Though she didn’t finish her sentence, the unspoken implications set everyone’s imaginations running wild.
Meng Xixi, Guo Qi, Li Xue, and Li Mei standing by Xia Wenjin’s side were even more agitated.
"The Xia Family has gone too far, and now that you’re on the show, you don’t know when to draw the line!"
"Jin is already pitiful enough, and you still want to utterly destroy her, is there no justice left in this world?"
"Justice lies in the heart of the people; Heaven watches what we do!"
"To bully someone, even on a show, is there no one to regulate this?"
...
The voices of the four people, all speaking at once, almost filled the entire live broadcast.
[Ice Cream Doesn’t Carry the Surname Li: Oh my god, does anyone remember this is a wilderness survival show? Would the Broadcasting Authority really not step in after seeing this?]
[Lele’s Vita: Fight! Fight! I love watching this kind of bloody drama and the ripping arguments, haha...]
[Heart Throbbing Yanyan: What the heck?! Are those people sick or what? How can a single sentence imply so much?]
[Melody is the Cutest: Listening to Xia Wenjin, it sounds like there’s a big scandal with the Xia Family. Where is my translator? Bring the juicy details to me!]
...
Listening to the incessant babble from the other side, Xia Wenyan snorted coldly, "Since you all side with Xia Wenjin, then I might as well go to the police. Let the police thoroughly investigate whether our family has been abusing Xia Wenjin, or if Xia Wenjin has been playing us for fools these years!"
At the mention of "calling the police," visible panic flashed across Xia Wenjin’s face.
She had done quite a few unsavory things abroad, and if those were dug up now, her reputation would be completely ruined.
Xia Wenjin quickly spoke up to stop him, "Big brother, I don’t want to fall out with you all like this, after all... after all, for the past 20 years, we were a family..."
Xia Wenyan scoffed coldly, "Who’s family are you? You know very well the things you’ve done in the past, we just don’t want to shake them out one by one. If you continue to be so ungrateful, I won’t mind telling everyone."
"Xia Wenyan! Do you have no morals at all?! How dare you threaten Jin?!" Meng Xixi almost immediately shrieked, looking very protective of Xia Wenjin.
She lifted her chin, staring at him and said sentence by sentence, "How can you, a grown man, have the nerve to say such things?!"
"Of course, it’s because I’m immoral, so I dare to say it," Xia Wenyan responded with an air of a pig not fearing the boiling water, rolling his eyes, "What do I need morals for now? To keep them for you to hold me hostage? When you all were bullying with the majority, did you ever touch your conscience and check if you had any morals?"
