Chapter 37 Trouble Arises on the Way Back Home

"Should it be?" Xia Zhuyu hesitated, unsure.

"You're not even sure, what nonsense are you spouting? You really are a useless piece of trash! How did I end up raising such a piece of trash?" Xia Jian was so brave he was practically dying of anger, and he started cursing.

Xia Zhuyu's eyes filled with tears as she was scolded, and she looked at Xia Jianyong with a wronged expression.

Normally, Xia Jianyong would have felt sorry for her and comforted her if he saw her looking like that.

But right now, he's got a lot of lawsuits on his head, so he can't afford to feel any heartache; in fact, he finds it all bad luck.

"Cry, cry, all you do is cry. What else can you do besides cry? You're useless, you're not even as good as Xia Yuhuan," Xia Jianyong said irritably.

Xia Zhuyu was furious upon hearing this and couldn't help but want to retort.

Seeing that Xia Jianyong was really angry, Li Rouyue quickly pulled Xia Zhuyu aside: "Okay, shut up, don't say anything."

She moved closer to Xia Jianyong, patted his back to help him catch his breath, and then changed the subject, saying, "To be honest, we have to blame Xia Yuhuan for this. If she hadn't told us the truth, we wouldn't be in such a passive position, and we wouldn't have rushed into taking action against Chi Zhenghao. Now we've made a mistake."

"Don't mention that rebellious daughter to me, it makes me angry." Xia Jianyong felt a throbbing in his temples and became even angrier when he heard Xia Yuhuan's name.

Don't be fooled by his earlier statement that Xia Zhuyu is utterly worthless and even inferior to Xia Yuhuan.

At least he doesn't get a headache when he talks about Xia Zhuyu, but when he talks about Xia Yuhuan, his brain feels like it's going to explode.

He felt that Xia Yuhuan was born to bring him bad luck, and nothing good ever came of it whenever he was around her.

They had originally planned to use her marriage to the Chi family, hoping to benefit from her influence and have the Chi family help the Xia family.

So far, he hasn't received any help, which has only made him quite angry.

"Tomorrow is the day she returns home after three days, I wonder what she'll bring back." Li Rouyue paused and then said, "You're at a crucial moment for your promotion right now, do you think you could take this opportunity to talk to the Chi family and ask them to put in a good word for you?"

Xia Jianyong said in a low voice, "Now that Zhao Desheng has stopped making moves because of Xia Yuhuan's life-saving grace to his mother, he has essentially given up competing for the position of chief of staff. As a result, my chances of winning are already quite high."

“Of course, if the Chi family can lend a hand, then this position will definitely be mine, I can’t escape it,” Xia Jianyong said in a deep voice.

As Xia Zhuyu watched her parents' discussion shift to Xia Yuhuan, a surge of anger welled up inside her, engulfing her like a wildfire, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

If she really can't avoid being sent to the countryside, she will definitely not let Xia Yuhuan get away with it!

Xia Zhuyu thought to herself, and seeing that the two of them weren't paying attention to her, she quietly got up and left.

She went to find Gangzi.

Gangzi and the others had already left, but seeing that no one was pursuing the matter of Xia Yuhuan being blocked and intercepted, she called them back.

"Didn't we say we wouldn't see each other recently? Why are you here?" Gangzi asked in a low voice, somewhat surprised to see Xia Zhuyu.

Xia Zhuyu said in a low voice, "Of course I have something to ask you. Find a way to kidnap Xia Yuhuan, and then have someone rape her. I want to completely ruin her!"

As she said this, Xia Zhuyu's eyes were filled with gloom and ruthlessness.

The last time she asked Gangzi to ambush Xia Yuhuan, she mainly wanted Gangzi and his men to help her snatch the jade pendant back, beat Xia Yuhuan up, and teach her a lesson.

But this time, all she wanted was to crush Xia Yuhuan into dust.

Now, she can't bear to see Xia Yuhuan doing well; she only wants Xia Yuhuan to lose everything and be despised by everyone!

...

Xia Yuhuan was unaware that Xia Zhuyu had been driven mad by her successive defeats and was contemplating taking a desperate gamble to harm her.

She had a good, restful sleep.

The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, she picked up the three items she had chosen the day before and prepared to go to the Xia family's house.

Although she had already returned to her parents' home before the third day after her wedding.

But this sense of ritual is still necessary.

Most importantly, there's going to be a good show when we go back to the Xia family today.

How could someone who loves joining in the fun not go?

But before she could even leave the house, she was stopped by Yan Hu, who rushed over with a serious expression.

"Xia, I need your help with something urgent. Please come with me first."

Xia Yuhuan was startled when she saw his appearance.

"Is my dad alright?" Xia Yuhuan asked instinctively.

Zhang Xianya, standing to the side, also looked at Yan Hu with a solemn expression.

After all, Yan Hu was Chi Shaokang's chief bodyguard and the person who protected him closely. Yan Hu's appearance really made them feel uneasy.

I'm afraid something has happened to Chi Shaokang.

"Don't worry, the leader is fine. The one who got into trouble is someone else. He is a key talent among the younger generation, just like Yan Zhou. He is also a comrade-in-arms and close friend of Yan Zhou, with whom he has a life-or-death bond."

"The military hospital says his condition is very serious and they can't handle it, so the leadership is thinking of sending you to try and see if there's any way to save him."

Xia Yuhuan replied without hesitation, "Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll prepare something."

Then, she hurried upstairs and came down with a small bag in no time.

Her bag was full of pills she had made over the past few days using medicinal herbs mixed with spiritual spring water, with various effects.

Although the limited availability of medicinal herbs prevents the production of any particularly high-quality products, the use of spiritual spring water doubles the effectiveness of the pills, elevating their overall quality.

Xia Yuhuan happened to have made some hemostatic pills, qi-tonifying pills, and heart-protecting pills. Although she wasn't sure if she would need them, it was always good to have some on hand.

In addition, she also kept a bottle of spiritual spring water in her bag, just in case.

"Alright, let's go," Xia Yuhuan said to Yan Hu.

Yan Hu agreed and reached out to help Xia Yuhuan with her bag, but Xia Yuhuan refused, and he didn't insist.

The two got into the car, which sped towards the military hospital.

On the way, Xia Yuhuan asked Yan Hu about the specific details of the injured person.

Yan Hu frowned and said, "All I know right now is that he can't stop the bleeding; I don't know any other specifics."

Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly upon hearing this and did not ask any further questions.

As the car drove out of the compound, someone happened to turn around and see Xia Yuhuan through the car window, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The Xia family, consisting of three people, was still waiting for Xia Yuhuan to return to her parents' home.

"We live in the same compound, just a few steps away. Sister, you're being too demanding. It's already this late and you're still not back," Xia Zhuyu pouted, full of complaints.

Xia Jianyong glanced at her sideways upon hearing this.

"It's only a little past eight o'clock, it's still early, what's the rush?" Li Rouyue warned Xia Zhuyu.

Because of Chi Zhenghao's matter, Xia Jianyong now dislikes Xia Zhuyu very much, and Li Rouyue does not want Xia Zhuyu to anger Xia Jianyong and get punished.

Xia Zhuyu was holding her breath, staring down at the ground with resentment in her eyes.

Damn Xia Yuhuan, why doesn't she just die?

Does she really think that marrying into the Chi family will make her superior? She actually expects their whole family to wait for her here!

"The young lady might not be back so soon."

Upon hearing this, the three of them turned to look at Aunt Liu, the nanny who had just spoken.

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Jianyong asked, frowning.
