"Well, this is someone else's house after all, so it's not convenient for me to keep you for dinner. I've said everything I need to say, so you can go back." Xia Yunxi directly ordered them to leave.

Xia Chenghai's old face was so red. Although he had no power or influence, his net worth was probably not small at this point.

When he goes out to meet friends or other partners, has anyone ever made him feel so embarrassed?

It can be said that Xia Chenghai has never been humiliated like this since he became rich.

Although he was angry, he still had some clarity and knew that this was not his home after all and he could not shout or scream.

Xia Chenghai snorted angrily, stood up and left without even looking at Xia Yunxi.

After Xia Chenghai left, the housekeeper quietly walked out and said to Xia Yunxi respectfully, "Miss Xia, do you need a car for tomorrow's trial? By the way, would you like Aunt Lin to accompany you?"

Xia Yunxi came back to her senses and curled her lips: "No need, housekeeper. I haven't decided whether I want to attend tomorrow or not."

It is foreseeable that tomorrow's battle will be a tough one.

Even though the evidence was provided, would the other party admit it? Furthermore, there was no evidence to support the claim, and the words hadn't come from the person himself. It was clear that Xia Yunxi wasn't confident in the trial.

The housekeeper understood, "Yes, if you need anything tomorrow, you can tell me and I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you, butler." Xia Yunxi expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"It's my job." The housekeeper finished his words in a serious tone, then looked up at Xia Yunxi. "Aunt Lin just announced that dinner is about to start. If Miss Xia is not busy, you can bring the two young masters down. Oh, and Mr.

Xia Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly. Isn't this something servants usually do?

She glanced at the butler. He was indeed a very qualified manager. The expression on his face had not changed in all the time Xia Yunxi had known him. He showed no other expression.

So Xia Yunxi couldn't figure out anything. She nodded unconsciously and went upstairs.

The housekeeper looked at Xia Yunxi's back, and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, so faint that it was almost invisible, and soon disappeared.

After Xia Yunxi disappeared from the second floor, the housekeeper went about his own business.

As soon as I got to the second floor, I could hear the chirping of the two little birds coming from the room from afar. The noise was so loud that it almost broke through the door.

Xia Yunxi shook her head and decided not to provoke them for the time being. She turned around and walked towards the study as if she was familiar with the place.

Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

“Dongdongdong——”

After a while, a low and hoarse voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Xia Yunxi pushed open the door and saw the man sitting in front of the mahogany desk. Even when sitting, his posture was straight, and his deliberately restrained aura did not slow down at all.

Hearing footsteps, he raised his head and looked at Xia Yunxi with cold eyes.

Xia Yunxi walked up to him and thought that Xia Chenghai had actually blocked Li Hanting outside. In fact, Xia Chenghai's intention didn't need to be stated at all, she could see it, and she didn't believe that Li Hanting couldn't see it.

I just saw it and gave her some face.

However, this kind of cognition, no matter how you look at it, has some embarrassing implications.

Xia Yunxi sincerely apologized: "That was because of my father's matter. I didn't know he was causing you trouble."

"I don't find it troublesome." Li Hanting's voice was very flat, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

And this is irrelevant.

"Did he block you outside the community?" Xia Yunxi didn't know what had happened, and how Xia Chenghai came in with Li Hanting, but she still wanted to find out.

Once it happens, it will happen again. She doesn't want such a thing to happen a second time.

"Yes!" Li Hanting nodded.

"Then next time you see him, just ignore him." Xia Yunxi said without thinking.

Li Hanting raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xia Yunxi: "He is your father."

Xia Yunxi was a little confused. What did it mean?

Li Hanting put down the pen in his hand and leaned back. Although his sharp brows were expressionless, he was not as aggressive as usual. "After all, he is your father. No matter what his intentions are, one thing is certain: he is the grandfather of these two children."

Xia Yunxi frowned. What did Li Hanting mean by this? Was he planning on having the two children recognize the Xia family as their marriage?

"You may not understand what I'm saying, but the superficial forms must still be maintained." Li Lihanting gave a rare tactful reminder.

Xia Yunxi wasn't stupid to begin with. She looked at the calm man sitting in his office chair in front of her and said, "You mean to say that you don't want your two children to be... criticized."

After saying the last four words, Xia Yunxi suddenly understood.

Having a child out of wedlock had a certain impact on the prince of the Li Group.

People outside may not necessarily talk about it.

Xia Yunxi had never thought so deeply about it before, but as the times change, such things are almost everywhere.

Some are single mothers raising a child alone, remarrying or getting married for the third time... Because it is common, it does not stand out.

But how could the prince of the Li Group allow such discussions to arise?

Because of her, the two children had already fallen behind. If Bai Fangzhen from the Xia family were to continue talking nonsense... Xia Yunxi couldn't figure out one thing when she thought about it. Would Li Hanting care about what others said? Would he care about other people's opinions?

If he really cared, why would his Li Group develop so rapidly?

Isn't Li Hanting omnipotent?

Although she had some doubts in her mind, they only flashed by for a moment. Xia Yunxi did not delve into it further, but instead talked about another matter with Li Hanting.

"When are you free?"

Li Hanting looked at her with confusion.

"Well, the two kids haven't been out playing with their parents since they were born... so I thought, since it's almost the end of the year, I should take them out to play again."

Li Hanting thought for a moment and said, "It should be done in another week. I'll let you know then."

Xia Yunxi nodded, then told them to go downstairs to eat, and then turned and left the study.

After dinner, even though Xia Chenghai came and made unreasonable demands, Xia Yunxi said that she had not decided whether to attend the trial.

But the necessary preparations still need to be made, and I also need to call Lawyer Ren to ask about tomorrow's situation.

This is a turning point, an opportunity to wash away the stains on oneself.

If even the court cannot give the bad guys the punishment they deserve, Xia Yunxi doesn't know what method he should use to clear his own stain?
