Chapter 931: [931] Framed

Strangers are easy to guard against, family thieves are hard to fend off.

If there are one or two bad relatives around who like to stir up trouble, they can turn a situation that could be handled rationally into a complete mess. Therefore, Li Xuan and her sister hated that bunch of relatives half to death.

Those relatives, however, thought she and her sister were the bad ones, trying to overstep their place and take over as the head of the family from the elders. So whenever there was trouble, they would inevitably go to their house to talk, expecting her parents to resume control. They were actually after their family’s money. When the Wu family needed to come up with money for something, the other relatives wanted them to pay more, and Li Xuan and her sisters would definitely not let their own family be taken advantage of.

Like Xie Wanying’s father who wasn’t very sharp, after being fooled, he privately took her scholarship money to help his own younger brother buy a house. It was the same with Li Xuan’s family; that bunch of relatives also wanted to fool Li Xuan’s not so sharp-witted parents into giving away money for nothing.

Now, that bunch had caught wind of something and rushed to the Xie family, claiming they were there to help Li Xuan and her parents seek justice, but what they were really scheming was obvious.

“Your daughter has been deceived by a friend.”

Upon hearing someone in her house speaking ill of her daughter, Sun Rongfang hurriedly turned around, “My daughter and Li Xuan have been classmates and friends for so many years. How could she possibly deceive her? I took Li Xuan as my goddaughter, for what reason would we deceive her?”

“Before you speak, let my older brother and sister-in-law finish,” said the people who claimed to be Second Uncle and Auntie Wu from across the table.

What did they mean for the older brother and sister-in-law to finish speaking? Wasn’t it always those two who were talking? Li Xuan’s parents hadn’t said a word. Sun Rongfang observed the family and suddenly noticed that the situation in her goddaughter’s family was somewhat similar to her own.

After being rebutted by Sun Rongfang, Second Uncle Wu cleared his throat twice before saying, “My older brother and sister-in-law aren’t as articulate as your family, which is why they asked me to speak for them.”

“You can say anything, but you can’t say my daughter deceives friends,” Sun Rongfang stated sternly to the opposition.

“If your daughter didn’t deceive friends, then why did she have Li Xuan hospitalized but keep it from us without letting us speak about it? What is she trying to do? I heard that there are people specifically deceiving young girls into the hospital, then harvesting their organs, kidneys, livers, and selling them to rich people, pocketing a hefty commission,” Second Aunt Wu ominously detailed the rumors that had been circulating among the people recently.

It was precisely because of such rumors that Li Xuan’s parents, confused after hearing them, were spurred to come over.

“My daughter wants to become a doctor who saves people. How could she possibly be involved in selling organs?” Sun Rongfang was about to be infuriated to death by these people who slandered indiscriminately.

“Who else but doctors could do such a thing? Organ harvesting is something only doctors can do,” Second Aunt Wu pointed out the crux of the matter, as such specialized acts couldn’t be completed without doctors’ cooperation.

“If you say that, you might as well never go to a doctor when you’re sick! After all, in your eyes, doctors are all out to take your kidneys and livers,” Sun Rongfang yelled.

From the other end of the phone, the angry voice of her mother reached her, and Xie Wanying’s brows furrowed tightly. If it weren’t for considering the consequences, she might have just blurted it out. After all, once this matter was out, the Wu family would definitely make a scene at Li Yaxi’s house. This was not what Wu Lixuan wanted to see. After all, it was said that the girl who had accidentally harmed her was going to recover from her illness and start afresh; how could she let this bunch of messy people ruin the good deed?

“Mom, Dad’s back,” Xie Youtian tugged at his mother’s clothes.

Xie Changrong stood at the doorway, having listened in on the conversation inside, and frowned, glancing at his wife.
