Xai despised Sara-- Oscar's wife. He saw her as seducing his brother in order to climb the social ladder and leave behind her life spent impoverished. Distrusting her motives, he did everything in his power to convince his brother to break them apart. He was.. of course, unsuccessful in these attempts and the two married without his approval, but there was a time they had desperately sought his blessing.
He never attempted to hide his disdain for her, and on an occasion wherein she touched him without thinking, he didn't hesitate to slap her to the floor. It's very likely Rachel participated in this shunning herself, though to a lesser degree.
