Chapter 108 Jealousy Leads to Competing for Favor
After a long pause, Xia Jianyong said coldly, "You'd better have nothing to do with this miscarriage, or else I'll deal with you!"
With that, Xia Jianyong released Li Rouyue and strode away.
Now that Du Wanying's baby is gone, she is of no use to him.
Just as Li Rouyue said, keeping Du Wanying around would only cause trouble and become a threat, and he needed to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Li Rouyue watched Xia Jianyong leave, her lowered eyes filled with coldness.
She wouldn't let Xia Jianyong find any fault with her. Xia Jianyong was hers before, and he will only be hers in the future. No one can take Xia Jianyong away from her!
Xia Yuhuan, Zhang Chunhua, and Wang Xiaocao, forming a trio of onlookers, squatted near Xia's house for half a day, only seeing Xia Jianyong hurriedly leave, but not hearing any noise coming from inside the house.
"So quiet? They didn't make a scene? What a pity." Zhang Chunhua sighed with regret.
Wang Xiaocao rolled her eyes at her: "Come on, you haven't had enough fun today, and now you're complaining about it? You're such a greedy person."
"Hmph, you dare say you came to the Xia family and didn't hear any commotion or see any excitement? Don't you feel regretful?" Zhang Chunhua glared at her.
These two are not only top-tier gossip enthusiasts, but also a pair of lovers who constantly bicker and argue.
Xia Yuhuan now understood the two women quite well, and seeing that they were about to fight, she quickly said, "Aunties, since there's no more excitement to watch, I'll be leaving now. See you later."
With that, he hurriedly rode his bike home.
She didn't want to be dragged into the argument by the two of them trying to reason with each other.
Back home, she saw Aunt Wang, the new nanny that Chi Shaokang had hired.
"Hello, young mistress. I'm the new nanny. If there's anything I've done wrong, please let me know," Aunt Wang greeted her somewhat awkwardly.
Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "Hello, Aunt Wang. You don't need to call me 'Young Madam,' just call me by my name. Otherwise, if you label me as having capitalist ways, it will cause a lot of trouble."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang quickly replied, "Okay, then Yu...Yu Huan, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Xia Yuhuan: "I'm fine with anything, I'm not picky about food, just make whatever you think is best."
Aunt Wang agreed and went back to the kitchen to get busy.
Xia Yuhuan then made a phone call to Chi Shaokang.
"Hey Dad, are you busy?" Xia Yuhuan asked obediently.
Chi Shaokang was somewhat surprised to receive a call from Xia Yuhuan.
However, she still smiled and said, "It's alright, not too busy. Xiao Huan, what's wrong? Is there something you need me for?"
Xia Yuhuan chuckled: "Actually, I'm looking for Uncle Yan. Could you let Uncle Yan take the call?"
"Okay." Chi Shaokang didn't ask any more questions, and after responding, he called out to Yan Hu to come in and answer the phone.
Yan Hu: "Xiao Huan, did you need something from me?"
"Uncle Yan, did you find out about the person I asked you to inquire about before?" Xia Yuhuan asked.
"You mean someone who knows about Xia Jianyong and Li Rouyue's relationship?" Yan Hu immediately realized.
"Yes."
"We found it a long time ago and convinced the other party. Do you want to use it now?" Yan Hu asked.
"Hmm." Xia Yuhuan vaguely recounted the farce that had happened today.
She didn't know if the military region's phones were being tapped these days, but since she was someone who was going to cause trouble, it wasn't good to be too blatant, so it was better to be a little discreet.
"I was thinking, the show has already started, so we should add some extra fuel to it, otherwise it would be such a waste if the fire didn't get going," Xia Yu said with a smile.
Yan Hu understood immediately. He said, "Okay, leave this to me. I'll make sure it's handled perfectly."
Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and she thanked him with a smile: "Then I'll thank you in advance, Uncle Yan. Thank you for your hard work."
Xia Yuhuan naturally trusted Yan Hu to handle things.
After all, she was a remarkable person; she only said she wanted to publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with Xia Jianyong, and he managed to publish it in all the major newspapers in Beijing, making it widely known.
With such competence, the results far exceeded her expectations. What could she possibly worry about?
"It's not hard work." Yan Hu's expression softened as he listened to Xia Yuhuan's energetic voice.
"I heard from Dean Jiang that you're starting work at the military hospital next week? Are you physically prepared?"
"You haven't fully recovered from your injury yet, and you've been forced to work for so long. Why don't you rest for a while longer?" Yan Hu's voice was full of concern.
Xia Yuhuan: "No need, I'm young and recover quickly. I'm fully recovered now, Uncle Yan, you don't need to worry about me."
After a brief chat, Xia Yuhuan hung up the phone, citing the need not to disturb Yan Hu's work.
On the other side, Yan Hu put down the microphone, seemingly still wanting more.
"Old Yan, when did your relationship with my daughter-in-law become so good? You can chat for so long?" Chi Shaokang asked casually.
His beloved wife called, but they barely exchanged a few words before she chatted with Yan Hu for ages, which made him feel a little resentful.
Yan Hu replied, "Xiao Huan and I have always had a good relationship. Didn't you already know that?"
Chi Shaokang snorted and asked him again, "What did Xiao Huan ask you to do?"
There was no point in hiding it, so Yan Hu recounted what Xia Yuhuan had asked him to do.
Chi Shaokang frowned: "Why didn't Xiao Huan tell me about this?"
Although he ultimately handed it over to Yan Hu, Xia Yuhuan bypassed him and directly asked Yan Hu for help, which immediately made Chi Shaokang feel a sense of crisis.
Could it be that Xiao Huan likes her uncle Yan Hu more than her father-in-law?
Is there something he did wrong that made his daughter-in-law dislike him?
Chi Shaokang, who had always considered himself to have a good relationship with Xia Yuhuan, couldn't help but feel a little anxious about their relationship.
"Perhaps she thinks you're busy and is embarrassed to bother you?" Yan Hu sensed something was amiss and replied cautiously.
"Okay, prepare some gifts that little girls like for me, and I'll take them back to Xiao Huan tonight."
"Xiao Huan has had a tough time. She saw her scumbag father again today, so she must be in a bad mood. We need to comfort her," Chi Shaokang said seriously.
Yan Hu replied blankly, "Yes, sir, I'll go right away."
Here we go again!
The boss was clearly jealous because Xiao Huan had talked to him a few more times, and he was trying to win her favor!
Don't be fooled by the fact that the leader may seem cold and unapproachable on the surface; he may dote on his family members to an extreme degree, without any limits.
He was like this when he doted on his wife, and he's still doing it now that he's doting on his daughter-in-law.
The key issue is that he gets jealous easily and loves to compete for attention.
He's starting to worry about whether Chi Yanzhou will be able to compete with his boss for favor once he wakes up!
That evening, Xia Yu happily brought a pile of gifts.
Everything you could want to eat, drink, and use was readily available.
When Xia Yuhuan received the gift, she was a little stunned and stared blankly at Chi Shaokang.
"Dad, why are you suddenly sending me so many gifts? Has something important happened?"
Chi Shaokang smiled and said, "No, I just heard that you saw that scumbag Xia Jianyong today. I was afraid you would be unhappy, so I bought you some gifts to distract you and help you forget about that scumbag."
Xia Yuhuan was both amused and touched by what she heard.
"Thank you, Dad. Marrying into the Chi family was truly the best decision I ever made in my life," Xia Yuhuan said, her eyes reddening.
“Don’t cry. You should laugh when you’re happy. Your dad was trying to cheer you up, but if you cry, it will only make you unhappy,” Zhang Xianya said with a smile.
“That’s right, that’s right, your mom is right, you should laugh when you’re happy,” Chi Shaokang chimed in.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan burst into laughter through her tears, and the three of them huddled together, creating an incredibly harmonious atmosphere.
After laughing, Xia Yuhuan suddenly asked, "By the way, Dad, have you found all the medicinal herbs needed to treat Yanzhou?"
