Chapter 41 Xia Yuhuan transforms into a master con artist, scaring her scumbag father and his family to death.

"Is that rebellious daughter back?" Xia Jianyong, who was in the study, heard the commotion and immediately came out to ask.

“It should be. Old Xia, please have a seat. I’ll go out and take a look,” Li Rouyue said hurriedly.

“No need, let’s go together,” Xia Jianyong said immediately.

He just wanted to find out the specifics as soon as possible.

Afterwards, the family of three went out together to check the situation.

Aunt Liu had already opened the gate, and the car was parked in the yard. Xia Yuhuan got out of the car, carrying a slab of pork, some eggs, and two cans of food.

Upon seeing this, Xia Jianyong's face immediately darkened.

He hadn't expected Xia Yuhuan to return with such a shabby gift.

This made him feel like he'd been slapped in the face.

When he was chatting with Li Rouyue before, he said that the Chi family was a respectable family and would definitely not skimp on the return gift. This slap in the face is just too painful.

"Xia Yuhuan, you..." Xia Jianyong was about to speak when he saw Yan Hu sticking his head out of the driver's side window.

Xia Jianyong's words caught in his throat, and he looked at Yan Hu with surprise in his eyes.

Why would Yan Hu personally bring Xia Yuhuan here?

He is Chi Shaokang's personal bodyguard!

"Hello, Staff Officer Xia," Yan Hu greeted him.

"Hey, Comrade Yan, hello. Why did you have to personally bring Yu Huan here? This is too much trouble for you," Xia Jianyong said with a smile.

Yan Hu is Chi Shaokang's most trusted confidant. If one can get along well with him, there will only be benefits and no drawbacks.

"Of course, no trouble at all," Yan Hu replied.

He then said, "My boss had something urgent to attend to today and needed Xiao Huan's help, so he asked Xiao Huan to go over there, which is why the time for my homecoming was delayed."

"On the way back to Xiao Huan, she was worried that you would have been kept waiting at home for too long. She didn't want to go back home to get something, so she went out and bought some things to bring back. She hopes that Staff Officer Xia won't think the gifts are too light."

Yan Hu spoke calmly, but his words clearly showed that he was protecting Xia Yuhuan.

Although Xia Jianyong didn't know what help Xia Yuhuan could give Chi Shaokang, nor whether Yan Hu's words were true or false, he could only listen to what Yan Hu said.

So he quickly smiled and said, "Of course we won't mind. As long as Yu Huan can come back, whatever she mentions is her wish, how could we possibly mind?"

"Comrade Yan, would you like to come inside for a cup of tea, and we can sit down and chat for a bit?"

"I'll let it go this time. My boss is waiting for me. I'll definitely come next time," Yan Hu said.

He then said to Xia Yuhuan, "Xiao Huan, remember to call the leader's office when you get home and tell him that he specifically instructed you to do so."

"Okay, I understand, Uncle Yan," Xia Yuhuan replied obediently.

She knew that Yan Hu, with his cold and aloof nature, was willing to stop and say so much because he was worried about her and afraid that she would be made difficult by Xia Jianyong, so he was specifically there to support her.

Although she didn't need it, and she had a way to deal with whatever the Xia family's reaction was, the care and love of her elders always touched her heart and warmed her soul.

Therefore, he treated Yan Hu very well.

Yan Hu drove away.

Xia Jianyong's smile faded, and his disdainful gaze swept over the things Xia Yuhuan was carrying, but because of what Yan Hu had said earlier, he didn't say anything more.

"Alright, give the things to Aunt Liu, you can come in and talk to her now."

Xia Yuhuan remained indifferent to such cold treatment and casually handed the items to Aunt Liu.

If it weren't for the fact that it would be inappropriate to go to the door empty-handed, she wouldn't even want to buy pork or eggs.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Liu. I'd like to have braised pork for lunch. Could you please make it for me? I'm really craving your braised pork; it's so delicious," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.

She didn't want to leave all the meat she bought for the Xia family; she wanted to eat her fill before going home.

Aunt Liu felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, and for a moment she didn't even know what to say.

Xia Zhuyu, who was standing to the side, chuckled upon hearing this.

"I've never seen a sister bring gifts like this before. She just brought them over, hasn't even entered the house yet, and is already saying she wants to cook and eat the meat she brought. Does the Chi family lack food from you? It seems that you're not doing so well in the Chi family either."

Xia Yuhuan looked up at her, a forced smile on her face: "What, this courtyard doesn't belong to the Xia family? Then how about I talk to the management office and have them redraw the boundaries of the Xia family's land?"

Xia Zhuyu glared at her: "You know perfectly well that's not what I meant! You..."

"Enough, get in here, both of you." Xia Jianyong stopped at the gate, turned to look at the two men, and scolded them.

Xia Yuhuan shrugged indifferently, but Xia Zhuyu glared at her angrily.

It was Li Rouyue who pulled her hand, which calmed her down and prevented her from exploding.

The group went into the living room and sat down.

"What did your father-in-law call you for today? How can you help him?" Xia Jianyong asked anxiously as soon as Xia Yuhuan sat down.

Xia Yuhuan blinked: "It's nothing, just a small matter. Uncle Yan was exaggerating."

Xia Jianyong frowned upon hearing this. "What exactly is it?"

Judging from his expression, he was clearly determined to get to the bottom of things and wouldn't give up until he found out.

Xia Yuhuan rolled her eyes, looking troubled, and said, "Actually, this matter is related to our family."

"Is it related to our family?" Xia Jianyong's eyes showed a moment of confusion.

Xia Yuhuan started making things up: "My father-in-law said that you and your precious pig drugged Chi Zhenghao, wanting her to give him to someone, to force him to marry her?"

Xia Jianyong: "!!!"

Xia Zhuyu: "!!!"

Both father and daughter were extremely shocked.

They were caught off guard when Xia Yuhuan suddenly brought this up, and they were all a little flustered.

Li Rouyue reacted faster.

She quickly replied, "No, that's not true. How could we possibly do such a thing?"

"Chi Zhenghao's use of aphrodisiacs was an accident. Zhuzhu only chased after him because she saw that he seemed to be in a bad state."

"She originally wanted to save Chi Zhenghao, but she was knocked unconscious herself. When she woke up, Chi Zhenghao was gone."

Anyway, no one caught Xia Jianyong drugging the drug. According to Xia Zhuyu, Chi Zhenghao was completely still at the time and was clearly unconscious. So, what exactly happened is up to them to decide!

"Is that so? How come it's different from the version I heard from my father-in-law?" Xia Yuhuan frowned, looking suspicious.

Seeing the pale, grim faces of the group as they racked their brains for excuses, Xia Yuhuan was secretly laughing.

Xia Jianyong, being the one who had done wrong, was more guilty than Li Rouyue. He hurriedly asked, "What did your father-in-law say? Since the Chi family believes we drugged him, how do they plan to handle this?"

“My father-in-law said that Chi Yanzhou is currently in a coma and may not wake up. Chi Zhenghao is the only heir of the Chi family in this generation, and he is extremely important.”

"Since someone dared to lay a hand on him, the Chi family will definitely investigate to the end." Xia Yuhuan blurted out, making up a story on the spot.

You little punks, I'll scare you to death!

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, the three members of the Xia family looked even more unpleasant.
