Chapter 69 The Scumbag Father Wants to Break the Contract
"What about me?" Zhao Desheng raised an eyebrow, looking like he was saying, "What can you do to me?"
Xia Jianyong was even angrier.
He knew that arguing with Zhao Desheng here was pointless.
So they turned around and left.
Zhao Desheng frowned upon seeing this.
He thought for a moment, then went back to his office and made a phone call to the Chi family.
The phone rang at the Chi family residence, and Wei Ziyi answered it.
Wei Ziyi called out, "Young Madam, there's a phone call for you."
"Okay, thank you, I'm coming." Xia Yuhuan was brewing medicine in the kitchen when she heard this and hurriedly came out of the kitchen.
She answered the phone, somewhat surprised: "Uncle Zhao?"
Xia Yuhuan really didn't expect that the person calling would be Zhao Desheng.
The next moment, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Then congratulations, Uncle Zhao! This is truly a joyous occasion."
"Oh? It's alright, just let him come to me. I can handle it, don't worry."
"Okay, thank you for reminding me."
Xia Yuhuan said a few words briefly and then hung up the phone.
Zhao Desheng called her specifically to warn her, mainly because he was afraid that Xia Jianyong would make things difficult for her.
However, Xia Yuhuan was not afraid.
If Xia Jianyong fails to be selected, he will definitely be unable to resist coming to cause trouble for her.
In a war of words, Xia Jianyong couldn't beat her.
Xia Jianyong dared not take action.
Especially today, Yan Hu is still inside the house.
Xia Yuhuan glanced at Yan Hu, who was sitting calmly on the sofa reading the newspaper, and said with a grin, "Uncle Yan, you knew the results would be out today, and you were afraid that Xia Jianyong would come to cause me trouble, so you came here to protect me, right?"
Yan Hu glanced at her, not denying it, but said, "Don't talk nonsense. I just happened to be on vacation and came to see you."
Xia Yu smiled and didn't press the matter further.
Sure enough, Xia Jianyong arrived not long after.
"Xia Yuhuan, get out here right now! You promised me, you..."
Before Xia Jianyong could finish speaking, a tall figure stood up from the sofa.
Yan Hu's icy gaze fell on Xia Jianyong: "Xia Jianyong, this is the Chi family, not your Xia family. Don't act like this here."
Yan Hu was of a higher rank than Xia Jianyong, and was also more skilled. His imposing aura was terrifying, and he completely suppressed Xia Jianyong.
Xia Jianyong's lips twitched, his face contorted with rage.
"Why isn't Comrade Yan with Chief Chi? Is he at the Chi family's house?" Xia Jianyong barely managed to control himself and asked in a friendly manner.
Yan Hu said calmly, "I came here on business, which is none of your concern."
Xia Yuhuan came out of the kitchen, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Old Xia, why are you here at this hour? Did the results come out? Can I announce them now?"
Xia Jianyong was even angrier when he saw Xia Yuhuan's elated expression.
No matter what, he is still her biological father. Is she so eager to sever ties with him?
“Let’s talk alone.” Xia Jianyong glanced at Yan Hu and said in a deep voice.
Xia Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
He appeared extremely cooperative.
Xia Jianyong could not detect the slightest bit of guilt in her.
Could it be that the selection process really has nothing to do with her?
Xia Yuhuan led Xia Jianyong to the courtyard to talk.
Anyway, since Yan Hu is at the Chi family's house, even if he's not in front of Xia Jianyong, Xia Jianyong wouldn't dare to make a move. It doesn't matter where he talks.
"Xia Yuhuan, did you do this? Did you tamper with it?" With only the two of them around, Xia Jianyong couldn't wait to question them.
"What do you mean I did it? What did I do? What tricks did I play?" Xia Yuhuan looked completely bewildered.
Seeing her like this, Xia Jianyong couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that he had really misunderstood her?
"Don't pretend with me. If you hadn't said something to Zhao Desheng, how could he have suddenly changed his mind and secretly manipulated things to compete with me for the position of chief of staff?" Xia Jianyong questioned.
Xia Yuhuan blinked slightly upon hearing this, then smiled: "So, you lost the election and are taking it out on me?"
"What do you mean I'm here to vent my anger on you? You were the one who interfered and caused me to not be selected, so can't I come and cause you trouble?" Xia Jianyong glared at her.
Xia Yuhuan chuckled and said, "What does it have to do with me that you weren't selected?"
“Since I promised you I wouldn’t interfere in your competition with Zhao Desheng, I won’t go back on my word. I haven’t even left the house these past few days, how could I possibly do anything underhanded?”
Xia Jianyong was speechless for a moment upon hearing this.
He was worried that things might change, so he did have someone keep an eye on Xia Yuhuan for a few days. Xia Yuhuan did not go out and had no contact with Zhao Desheng.
So, did he really misunderstand her?
Xia Jianyong was hesitating when he saw Xia Yuhuan purse her lips and say with a smile, "If you ask me, you deserve it."
"Xia Yuhuan!" Xia Jianyong couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
He was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes were fierce.
Failing to get promoted was already a huge blow to Xia Jianyong, and he couldn't accept it in the first place. Now, being mocked to his face by Xia Yuhuan was something he simply couldn't tolerate.
Xia Yuhuan wasn't afraid of his murderous aura at all, and calmly said, "Back when we hadn't signed the severance letter and contract, I reminded you to investigate Zhao Desheng to prevent him from doing anything behind the scenes. You didn't pay attention at the time, so who's to blame?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Jianyong's anger faltered.
He remembered; Xia Yuhuan had indeed said that back then.
However, he was confident that he knew Zhao Desheng very well and was certain that Zhao Desheng would back down because of Xia Yuhuan's life-saving grace to his mother. But to his surprise, Zhao Desheng did not do what he expected at all.
Zhao Desheng's decision to separate him from Xia Yuhuan was something he hadn't expected.
Xia Yuhuan didn't give Xia Jianyong a chance to speak, coldly saying, "I've already warned you that people's hearts are the most unpredictable things. I told you to be careful, but you didn't listen to me. What can I do?"
Xia Jianyong felt a lump in his throat, and his face turned bright red.
I'm so angry!
"Anyway, I don't care. We've already signed the contract, so don't even think about going back on your word. Now that your election is over, it means I can tell everyone that we've broken off our relationship," Xia Yuhuan added.
Xia Jianyong's expression changed, and he immediately said, "No, I don't agree!"
Xia Yuhuan narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, and said in a sinister tone, "What, you want to back out now? Don't forget, we signed a contract in black and white. You want to back out? No way!"
Xia Jianyong, however, was not intimidated at all and said, "Even if you didn't tamper with the election, you didn't do what you promised to do to help me deal with the Chi Zhenghao family's revenge. Since you broke your promise first, don't blame me for breaking the contract later."
Now that he has failed to get promoted, he naturally doesn't want to let Xia Yuhuan go so easily.
As long as their father-daughter relationship is maintained, he refuses to believe that he can't find a way to gain an advantage or benefit from her!
