Chapter 78 The scumbag father was so angry he vomited blood.
Zhao Desheng teased, "Old Xia, I told you, I didn't know how long your father-daughter relationship with Xia would last, and it turns out it came true."
"What bad thing did you do to Xia that made her so determined to sever ties with you?"
Xia Jianyong said coldly, "She's my own daughter, what bad things could I possibly do to her?"
"She's just holding a grudge against me for not taking good care of her and losing her. Now that she's married into the Chi family, she thinks she's found a backer and is determined to sever ties with me."
"Ha, this fool! Doesn't she even realize that without me, she wouldn't have been able to marry into the Chi family? She's utterly clueless!"
Zhao Desheng shook his head with a smile: "You can't say for sure. Xia was able to save my mother from danger back then, which shows that she has extraordinary medical skills and must be very capable. Maybe she will live a better life after leaving you?"
Xia Jianyong became the focus of his workplace because of the newspaper article severing ties with his family.
I argued with Zhao Desheng but lost again.
In particular, Zhao Desheng's last words, that Xia Yuhuan would be better off without him and the Xia family, became like a curse, tightly binding him and making him feel like his head was about to explode.
He couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer, so he asked for leave and went home to rest.
He never expected that even after returning home, he couldn't escape the fate of hearing Xia Yuhuan's name. It really made him furious!
Consequently, they also felt some dissatisfaction towards Li Rouyue, the person who mentioned Xia Yuhuan.
Li Rouyue didn't notice Xia Jianyong's emotional change at this moment, and was secretly pleased to pave the way for Xia Zhuyu.
"Old Xia, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health."
"If you ask me, Xia Yuhuan is too willful and goes too far. She's just as annoying as her dead mother."
"If you ask me, my Zhuzhu is the best. She's never as unreasonable as her and makes you so angry."
Xia Jianyong had just failed to be promoted to chief of staff, so Li Rouyue didn't dare to ask him to help bring Xia Zhuyu back.
But she didn't give up on whispering sweet nothings in Xia Jianyong's ear from time to time.
Right now, with Xia Yuhuan in such a state of utter anger towards Xia Jianyong, it's the perfect time to bring up Xia Zhuyu!
People are most afraid of comparison; once comparisons are made, there will be distinctions between good and bad.
If Xia Yuhuan isn't good, then doesn't that just make her Zhuzhu seem better?
Under normal circumstances, Li Rouyue's move would indeed be effective.
But right now, it's a special time.
Xia Jianyong had just failed to get promoted and then severed ties with Xia Yuhuan, completely losing his means to climb up the Chi family. Now, the matter of severing ties had been announced to the world, causing him to lose face. He was at his lowest point and most frustrated.
But Li Rouyue brought up Xia Zhuyu again.
To Xia Jianyong, Xia Zhuyu is no longer a precious daughter, but a jinx, a cursed wretch.
After all, his period of bad luck was directly or indirectly related to Xia Zhuyu.
Mentioning Xia Zhuyu at this time is like a bombshell being dropped in front of him.
Xia Jianyong immediately lost his temper and stood up abruptly.
Li Rouyue was leaning against him, patting him on the back to help him breathe.
Because of his sudden action, Li Rouyue lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Ah..." Li Rouyue cried out in pain.
Xia Jianyong acted as if he hadn't heard her and shouted angrily at her: "How dare you mention her? If it weren't for her, would I be in this situation now? It's all her bad luck that ruined my good fortune."
"Don't mention her in front of me anymore. I get annoyed just hearing her name."
Xia Jianyong said this and then turned and left.
Li Rouyue was in excruciating pain in her tailbone, tears still streaming down her face, ready to play the victim. But Xia Jianyong just walked away like that, and she couldn't help but shed genuine tears.
It hurts, and it makes me angry.
She and Xia Jianyong have been together for so many years, and because she is gentle, considerate, and knows how to coax him, she has never been neglected by him.
This is the first time in history that I've been so ruthlessly abandoned like this.
This made Li Rouyue both angry and somewhat panicked.
It seems that Xia Jianyong has lost his patience and become irritable due to recent setbacks. She needs to find a way to cheer him up.
Li Rouyue knew very well how to use her own advantages to please Xia Jianyong, and she also knew very well how to use Xia Jianyong's inherent bad habits to overcome him.
Li Rouyue went through her thoughts on how to deal with Xia Jianyong, and only after she had a clear understanding of the situation did she feel at ease.
She tried to stand up, but felt excruciating pain in her tailbone.
Li Rouyue immediately dared not move again.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, come and help me up!" Li Rouyue shouted hurriedly.
Aunt Liu, who was cooking in the kitchen, rushed out to help Li Rouyue when she heard this.
Perhaps he accidentally touched Li Rouyue somewhere and hurt her, because Li Rouyue immediately lost her temper.
"Are you useless? How come you can't do anything right? Get out of here, I'll sit here for a while." Li Rouyue sat on the sofa and cursed loudly.
Aunt Liu didn't dare to say a word after being scolded. She silently responded and turned back to the kitchen to continue her work.
Looking at the dishes prepared on the table, Aunt Liu was furious.
She had worked diligently in the Xia family for over a decade and had never suffered such injustice before.
Feeling resentful, she spat a few times into the plate of food. The thought that Li Rouyue would have to eat the food she had spat on made her feel a little better.
Li Rouyue was naturally unaware of Aunt Liu's underhanded tactics. If she had known, she probably would have vomited up her dinner from the night before.
Meanwhile, Xia Jianyong also had nowhere to go after leaving home.
He ran to the old house in the alley.
Xia Jianyong had a habit: when he was in a bad mood, he would go and look at the gold, silver and precious jewelry he had secretly hidden away.
Look at them, touch them, and count them; even the biggest unhappiness can dissipate.
After all, these things originally belonged to the Xu family, not to him.
It was something he had painstakingly planned and then obtained.
He was naturally happy to see the empire he had conquered and hidden away.
But this time when Xia Jianyong went to the old house, he didn't feel happy at all; he felt like the sky had fallen.
As he pushed open the door to the old house, Xia Jianyong carefully observed his surroundings to see if anyone was paying attention to him.
Seeing that no one was around, he closed the door with a sense of relief.
However, when he turned around and saw the yard riddled with holes, he was completely stunned.
His pupils constricted, and he ran in disbelief to look at the holes that had been dug out.
Seeing that it was empty, he still stubbornly reached out to rummage around.
Of course, they didn't manage to get anything.
Xia Jianyong was completely stunned.
"Gone? How could it be gone? Who did this? Who did this?" Xia Jianyong roared in disbelief.
Fearing that the noise would be too loud and be heard by the neighbors, Xia Jianyong could only bite down hard on the roar that was about to come out.
When Xia Jianyong confirmed that he hadn't been left with anything hidden underground in the yard, he felt as if his heart was bleeding.
He had gone to great lengths to hide these things, and no one had discovered them. Who on earth discovered his secret and secretly dug them up?
Xia Jianyong glanced at the color of the soil he had dug out and confirmed that it had been dug recently, which made him even angrier.
Suddenly, he remembered the treasures hidden in the house, and his whole body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of horror.
"No way, those things won't be a problem, will they?" Xia Jianyong murmured.
He didn't dare delay and hurriedly went inside to check the situation.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
When Xia Yuhuan was digging, he was like a mouse, leaving not a single grain of rice behind. So, naturally, Xia Jianyong found nothing.
After discovering that everything he had hidden there had been robbed, Xia Jianyong couldn't take it anymore and was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.
Before he lost consciousness, he had only one thought in his mind: the bastard who stole his things had better not be caught by him. If he did, he would make sure the other party suffered a terrible death!
At the Chi family home, Xia Yuhuan was resting on the sofa after finishing her meal when she sneezed twice in a row.
"Achoo, achoo..."
