(Era Setting, Marriage Substitution, First Marriage Then Love, Ruthless Against Villains) After a car accident, Xia Yuhuan wakes up and realizes she has transmigrated into a novel set in the 1970s....
Chapter 79 Chi Shaokang's expression was grave: Something's happened.
Zhang Xianya, who was standing nearby, asked with concern, "Xiao Huan, why do you keep sneezing? Do you have a cold?"
Xia Yuhuan raised her hand and rubbed her nose; the itchy, sneezing sensation was gone.
"No, it's probably just that my nose was sensitive recently."
Zhang Xianya said, "How about I ask Aunt Zhao to make you some ginger and brown sugar water to prevent you from catching a cold?"
Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "No need. I know my own body. If I'm really uncomfortable, I'll take precautions."
"That's good," Zhang Xianya replied.
She talked with Xia Yuhuan for a while, then rushed off to work.
Zhang Xianya went to work, while Xia Yuhuan went upstairs for a nap. When she woke up, she heard Wei Ziyi and Aunt Zhao talking.
"If you ask me, Xia Jianyong just got his comeuppance. Otherwise, why would he suddenly fall ill?" Wei Ziyi's voice was full of schadenfreude.
"Shh, Xiao Wei, don't say things like that. No matter how bad Xia Jianyong is, he's still the young mistress's father. If the young mistress hears you talking about him like that, she'll be unhappy," Aunt Zhao whispered.
"Moreover, the idea of being punished is an old feudal idea, and it will cause trouble if others hear it."
Wei Ziyi said, "Aunt Zhao, you've forgotten again. Sister Yuhuan said that we should call her by her name, not 'Young Madam,' so that people won't say our family is acting like capitalists."
"Furthermore, I don't think Yu Huan would be unhappy or upset to hear that her father got his comeuppance. If she really cared about her biological father, she wouldn't have severed ties with him and even published a statement in the newspaper."
"However, you are right. Saying things like 'retribution' is indeed a feudal idea and should not be said. I will remember that."
Before Aunt Zhao could speak, she heard a crisp clapping sound.
She and Wei Ziyi turned around at the same time and saw Xia Yuhuan standing at the top of the stairs clapping.
Xia Yu walked towards the two with a smile: "Ziyi is right, I will not be sad for Xia Jianyong."
“Although he is my father, we are no longer related. He doesn’t even have the title of my scumbag father anymore. How could I be sad for him?”
Wei Ziyi stared at Xia Yuhuan with sparkling eyes: "Wow, Sister Yuhuan, you are really amazing. You are not bound by family ties at all. I admire you so much."
Xia Yuhuan waved her hand at Wei Ziyi: "No, no, no, you're wrong. It's not that I won't be bound by family ties, it's that I won't be kidnapped by trashy family ties."
If it's a good family relationship like the Chi family's, she would willingly be bound to them.
"Anyway, I really admire Sister Yu Huan," Wei Ziyi said with a grin.
Aunt Zhao, standing to the side, seemed somewhat helpless. She said, "Yu Huan, don't blame Aunt Zhao for being long-winded. Although you and Xia Jianyong have severed ties, he is still your biological father. It's one thing for you to act like this at home, but you should restrain yourself when you're out in public."
"Otherwise, if people see it, they will inevitably think you are cold-hearted and heartless, which is not a good reputation."
"I don't care about those things." Xia Yu said cheerfully, "Those who truly care about me naturally know what kind of person I am and can feel at ease associating with me."
"For those who don't like me or don't care about me, even if my reputation is good, it's still bad to them. There's no difference between a good reputation and a bad reputation."
"Why should I do things I don't want to do just because of what other people think?"
Aunt Zhao frowned, looking somewhat unhappy, after Xia Yuhuan refuted her.
She then said helplessly, "Maybe it's because I'm too old to understand the thoughts of you young people."
"But no matter what, I don't think it's a bad thing to be careful."
"Aunt Zhao is right, I understand." Xia Yuhuan replied with a smile, then looked at Wei Ziyi and asked her, "Xiaoyi, tell me quickly what happened with Xia Jianyong getting his comeuppance?"
Xia Yuhuan seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
Seeing her curiosity, Wei Ziyi carelessly shared her thoughts.
"I heard it from someone outside. Apparently, the matter of Sister Yu Huan severing ties with him in the newspaper has blown up. Many well-known newspapers have given it space to be published. Xia Jianyong felt ashamed and vomited blood in a fit of anger."
"Spitting blood in a fit of anger? That can't be right?" Xia Yuhuan frowned.
Xia Jianyong is a shameless man who is good at enduring. She can believe that he can be angered to the point of vomiting blood.
There must be other reasons behind this!
However, she didn't expect that when she simply asked Yan Hu to help her find a newspaper to publish the news of severing ties, he actually published it in several well-known newspapers at the same time. Now that it has become a public scandal, it's really going to be a headache for Xia Jianyong.
Xia Yuhuan then asked Wei Ziyi, "How do outsiders know he was so angry he vomited blood? Did someone see it with their own eyes?"
Wei Ziyi shook her head upon hearing this: "No, that's not true. I just heard that someone saw Xia Jianyong with blood on his chest, his face pale, riding his bicycle back to the compound. He went to see a doctor not long after he got back. That's just my guess."
Xia Yuhuan thought it was a guess and found it somewhat unreliable.
However, with bloodstains on his chest and a deathly pale face, he did indeed look quite pitiful.
Xia Yuhuan asked a few more detailed questions.
Wei Ziyi racked her brains and told Xia Yuhuan everything she knew until she couldn't get any more information from her, at which point Xia Yuhuan finally gave up.
Based on the direction Xia Jianyong returned from, Xia Yuhuan felt that it was more likely that Xia Jianyong went to the old house in the alley, found that the old house had been emptied, and was so angry that he vomited blood.
Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this.
If Xia Jianyong was so angry that he vomited blood because of this, all she could say was that the boomerang, though late, arrived.
When she emptied her scumbag father's hidden treasures, she wondered if he would vomit blood when he found out. Now that he actually did, it just turned out to be true.
Xia Yuhuan was in a good mood all afternoon because of Xia Jianyong's anger that caused him to vomit blood.
This good mood lasted until Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya returned in the evening.
Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but gossip about this with Zhang Xianya.
Zhang Xianya burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Serves him right! He treated you badly, serves him right for being so angry!"
Hearing the mother and daughter laughing and talking, Chi Shaokang asked curiously, "What good thing happened? You two are laughing so happily. Tell me so I can share in the joy."
Xia Yuhuan felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.
It seems inappropriate to maliciously gloat over one's own father's misfortune.
Zhang Xianya, who was standing to the side, said, "It's nothing. I just heard that Xia Jianyong was so angry that he vomited blood today because of the news that the letter severing ties with his wife was published in the newspaper. I just found it funny."
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang raised an eyebrow: "He was so angry he vomited blood? I heard he took leave, but I didn't hear he vomited blood. Vomiting blood happened after he returned to the compound?"
Zhang Xianya nodded with a smile.
Xia Yuhuan carefully observed Chi Shaokang's expression from the side. Seeing that he did not seem displeased, she felt a little relieved.
It's good that Chi Shaokang didn't have any issues with her because of this.
She relaxed and chatted with the two of them.
After dinner, the three decided to go for a walk to digest their food.
But before they could even step out the door, the phone in the living room rang.
Chi Shaokang answered the phone.
His relaxed expression immediately darkened after he answered the phone, and his face visibly turned ugly.
Xia Yuhuan and Zhang Xianya exchanged a glance, and a message simultaneously appeared in their eyes: Something's happened.
