Chapter 103 Changing a disadvantage is not something that can be done overnight.
Perhaps because Xia Yuhuan never received love from her biological parents in either of her lives, she is not attached to the so-called blood ties.
On the contrary, because she was treated sincerely by relatives who were not related by blood in both of her lives and received the most genuine kinship, she firmly believed that it was possible to have genuine kinship even without blood ties.
Therefore, she could not understand Aunt Zhao's choices and actions.
In her view, although Aunt Zhao's biological son was related to her by blood, their relationship was not close and they did not necessarily have a deep affection for each other.
Chi Yanzhou was a child she had raised since he was a child. She knew him inside and out, just like her own child. They were more like true family.
But Aunt Zhao hurt Chi Yanzhou for the sake of so-called blood ties, which is simply a sign of being mentally deficient.
Aunt Zhao was stunned by Xia Yuhuan's questioning, staring blankly at her, unable to react.
The color drained from her face without her even realizing it.
Seeing this, Chi Shaokang sighed and waved his hand, "Old Yan, take her back for questioning and try to find out who's behind this."
Yan Hu responded with a "yes" and stepped forward to lead Aunt Zhao away.
Aunt Zhao looked numb when she was taken away.
She took a few steps, then stopped, turned to look at Chi Shaokang and the others, as if she wanted to say something to them.
However, she ultimately said nothing; all the complex emotions in her heart turned into a soft "I'm sorry."
Xia Yuhuan clearly saw the tears rolling down Aunt Zhao's face.
She looked at it without feeling any sympathy.
Everyone has to pay the price for their choices. Since Aunt Zhao made her choice a long time ago, she deserves her current fate.
After Aunt Zhao was taken away, the hall fell silent, and the atmosphere was not good.
"Boss, I've completed my mission and will be returning to the team now," Wei Ziyi said proactively.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work these past few days, Xiao Wei. Once you return to the team, I'll give your leader a good talk about your performance and ask him to reward you," Chi Shaokang said to Wei Ziyi.
Wei Ziyi smiled and said, "Thank you for your recognition, leader. It's all what I should do. I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now."
With that, Wei Ziyi saluted them and turned to leave.
"Ziyi, let me see you off," Xia Yuhuan called out hurriedly.
Chi Shaokang nodded to her: "Then Xiao Huan will represent our family to see Xiao Wei off."
When Xia Yu saw Wei Ziyi off, he expressed his admiration for her.
"Ziyi, I only thought you were strong before, I never expected you to be such an excellent female soldier."
"The key is that your acting skills are really good. During this time at home, I didn't see anything wrong with you. You just looked like an ordinary person."
Xia Yuhuan made no attempt to hide her liking and admiration for Wei Ziyi, immediately showering her with praise.
This world has always been male-dominated. Even though the slogan "Women hold up half the sky" has been around for a long time, women still face discrimination in all walks of life and in all fields. This is a situation that has not been completely changed in later generations, let alone in this era.
The proportion of outstanding women who can stand at the level of power is extremely low.
Xia Yuhuan is proud to be a woman, but she also understands that it is unrealistic to change the disadvantaged situation of women by relying on her own strength.
Only when the number of outstanding women in high positions increases will women's status improve and their treatment become better.
Therefore, Xia Yuhuan genuinely likes, respects, and admires Wei Ziyi, such an outstanding girl.
She sincerely hopes that every capable and virtuous girl can attain a high position.
On the contrary, Wei Ziyi was a little embarrassed by the praise.
She smiled shyly before saying, "We've received training and have good mental fortitude, so it's not easy for us to give ourselves away."
Xia Yuhuan agreed upon hearing this.
It's important to understand that many soldiers or police officers who go undercover have to deal with the enemy in their own dens, which requires extremely strong psychological qualities.
If you lack the mental fortitude to keep up, you'll easily slip up, which means certain death.
"Anyway, you're incredibly amazing." Xia Yuhuan praised her with a smile, "I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again, so I'll just wish you success in your career, and that everything goes smoothly for you."
Wei Ziyi laughed along when she heard this.
Although she entered the Chi family during this period ostensibly to carry out a mission, her interactions with Xia Yuhuan were genuine, and she truly liked Xia Yuhuan.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ziyi said, "If you don't mind, we can be friends in the future. When I get back to work, can I write to you when I have time?"
Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
She immediately replied happily, "Of course! You know my home address and phone number, so you can just send the letter here."
"If I leave later and change my address, I will let you know."
Wei Ziyi was puzzled by Xia Yuhuan's words. She had already married into the Chi family, so why did she want to leave?
However, she quickly thought that life is so long, and perhaps Xia Yuhuan would have to stay somewhere else temporarily, so it was normal for her to leave temporarily. She smiled and nodded.
She took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Xia Yuhuan.
"This is my unit's address and phone number. You can contact me if you need anything."
This was prepared by Wei Ziyi in advance.
However, she was afraid that Xia Yuhuan would no longer want to associate with her after finding out that she was a soldier, so she didn't dare to give it to him.
After all, her family thought it was strange that a girl like her was a soldier, and not just an arts and entertainment soldier, but a combat soldier; they thought she was a tomboy.
Few girls could get along with her; they all thought she was vulgar and a tomboy.
"Okay, I accept it. I will definitely write to you often and keep in touch. Let's try to be friends for life," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
Wei Ziyi smiled and nodded in agreement.
After seeing Wei Ziyi off, Xia Yuhuan returned to her room.
At this moment, Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya had composed themselves.
Upon seeing her return, Zhang Xianya forced a smile and spoke to Xia Yuhuan.
"You must have been scared today. Luckily, your dad listened to you and made arrangements in advance, otherwise Yanzhou would have been in danger today."
"It was my father's foresight and foresight that protected Chi Yanzhou. It's not my doing," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
Zhang Xianya said, "It's good that everyone is alright. We never expected that Aunt Zhao, who had been with the Chi family for decades and whom we regarded as family, would harm Yanzhou."
As someone who believes that feelings can be built through interaction, Xia Yuhuan naturally understood the blow Zhang Xianya and the others had suffered. Upon hearing this, she gently held Zhang Xianya's hand and comforted her softly.
"Mom, it's all in the past now, don't be too upset."
Chi Shaokang, who was standing to the side, said, "I have to go back to the military region. Xiaoya, you should take a day off and rest at home. Let Xiaohuan keep you company."
Zhang Xianya was about to nod, but then, as if she had thought of something, she gently shook her head.
"No, I can't rest at home, I still have to go back to work."
