Old Lady Xia cried and cursed, and Xia Hao's roar suddenly exploded beside her ear like a clap of thunder.
"Don't you dare insult my parents!"
Like thunder from a clear sky, Xia Hao's voice was full of vigor, startling Old Lady Xia into forgetting her wailing and looking at her second grandson with a fearsome expression.
"Grandma, I acknowledge and respect you for raising my dad, which is why I address you as Grandma. But my parents have worked tirelessly their whole lives; you have no right to insult them." Xia Hao strode furiously to Old Lady Xia and looked down at her as he spoke.
For a fleeting moment, Old Lady Xia felt a twinge of fear. This wasn't the same Xia Hao they'd always bullied, the weak and useless person they knew. The threatening air about him even made Old Lady Xia shiver.
After a moment of stunned silence, Xia Laoda was the first to snap back to reality.
