Chapter 99: The vegetable was so anxious it wanted to speak.
After Xia Yuhuan and Xia Jianyong parted ways, she returned home and immediately called Sun Xiangqian at the hospital.
Sun Xiangqian was still in his office when he answered the phone.
"Hello, this is Sun Xiangqian. Who is this?"
When Xia Yuhuan heard Sun Xiangqian's voice, she thought of how Xia Jianyong had spread rumors about her and Sun Xiangqian to smear her, and she felt sorry for him.
Sun Xiangqian was a gentle, refined, calm, and upright person, the kind of person who could be admired from afar but not touched. Now, however, he had been tainted by her, which made her feel really bad.
Xia Yuhuan asked softly, "Uncle-Master, are you alright in the hospital? Have you heard any bad rumors?"
"Bad rumors? No, what are you referring to?" Sun Xiangqian asked, puzzled.
Xia Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
It seems Xia Jianyong is afraid of things going wrong, so the hospital hasn't taken any action yet.
If that's the case, then there's no need to tell him this troubling matter. After all, she's already resolved things on her end, and besides, it would only make Sun Xiangqian feel disgusted as well.
Xia Yuhuan then said, "It's nothing, I just heard some unpleasant rumors, but they've all been resolved."
"I just told a few people in our compound that you are my senior brother, and I was worried that someone else might come looking for you under my name and bother you, so I told you."
Sun Xiangqian could naturally sense the reservation in Xia Yuhuan's words, but he didn't care. He believed that Xia Yuhuan had no bad intentions.
Since she's not saying anything, she must feel there's no need to.
After getting to know Xia Yuhuan, he found that he liked this junior apprentice.
Especially after the misunderstanding with Xia Yuhuan caused by Xia Jianyong, he felt even more guilty and forgiving towards Xia Yuhuan.
“I’ve already told you. I’m your senior brother, and this isn’t some shameful secret that needs to be kept hidden.”
"Don't worry, I won't be so easily manipulated. If someone tries to contact me using your name, I'll call you beforehand to confirm," Sun Xiangqian said gently.
If he hadn't been too hasty this time, and hadn't easily believed Xia Jianyong because Xia Jianyong spoke of Xia Yuhuan so fluently and seemed so familiar with her, he wouldn't have been deceived and taken advantage of.
"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer, Master. I don't have anything else to do, so I'll hang up now." Xia Yuhuan said, and hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Xia Yuhuan made another phone call to Chi Shaokang's office.
After waiting for a long time without anyone answering, Xia Yuhuan had no choice but to hang up.
She glanced at the time and figured that Chi Shaokang should have already left work, which was why no one was answering the phone in the office.
She gave up on making the call, thinking it would be fine to wait until Chi Shaokang returned before continuing.
Sure enough, Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya returned together shortly afterward.
However, Chi Shaokang happened to be free today, so he specially went to pick up Zhang Xianya after get off work.
Xia Yuhuan watched the two of them enter the room, chatting and laughing. Although they were already of advanced age, the love between them still flowed naturally and had not been diminished by time or the trivialities of life.
With such loving parents and growing up in such a loving family, Chi Yanzhou would surely be an excellent person.
Xia Yuhuan suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the days after Chi Yanzhou woke up.
"Dad, Mom, you're back!" Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
"You're back. Why are you here so early today? Aren't you busy?" Zhang Xianya asked her.
"It's alright, the teacher is busy and not too busy right now," Xia Yuhuan replied, then turned to Chi Shaokang and said, "Dad, I have something I want to tell you."
Chi Shaokang was surprised when he heard this, but since Xia Yuhuan brought it up so seriously, it must be something important. So Chi Shaokang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go to the study to talk."
The two entered the study together, and Xia Yuhuan told her about her recent meeting with Xia Jianyong, during which Xia Jianyong subtly inquired about Chi Shaokang's whereabouts.
"Dad, did the person behind him find out he was being investigated, so they came after him? Will that affect the investigation? What if Xia Jianyong decides to run away?" Xia Yuhuan asked.
Xia Yuhuan was very worried about this.
She had personally promised the original owner that she would help her take revenge and bring Xia Jianyong to justice, so naturally she didn't want anything to go wrong.
Chi Shaokang frowned upon hearing this, but his expression didn't seem too surprised, clearly indicating that he already knew about it.
"Don't worry, I know that people involved in the case back then are looking for Xia Jianyong. I've already made arrangements to keep a close eye on them, so there won't be any problems."
"It seems we've really hit a nerve, they're so desperate they've resorted to contacting you through Xia Jianyong to gather information." Chi Shaokang chuckled lightly, his expression relaxed, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Xia Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Chi Shaokang say that.
Thankfully, everything is under Chi Shaokang's control.
However, as long as things haven't settled down, there's always the possibility of change, so Xia Yuhuan asked with some concern, "When does Dad decide to close the net?"
"That depends on when the fish bites. You can't rush this. The more you rush, the more likely you are to make a mistake."
"Anyway, don't worry, someone's keeping an eye on this, he won't get away with it," Chi Shaokang said gently.
Hearing this, Xia Yuhuan could only nod gently: "Okay, then thank you for your trouble, Dad."
"Silly child, what hardship have I endured? It's you who's doing well."
Xia Yuhuan looked up and met Chi Shaokang's gentle yet concerned gaze, and her heart warmed.
When she first transmigrated into the book and learned that she was a cannon fodder female supporting character who was destined to die young, she felt a little emotional. She thought that she might be cursed, otherwise how could she have transmigrated into a book and become a pitiful little girl who was unloved by her father and mother?
But now, facing Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya, she really couldn't bring herself to have such thoughts again.
Having a pair of parents-in-law who truly treat her well after marriage is a rare and fortunate thing, how can it not be considered lucky?
Xia Yuhuan smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, Dad. I'm fine, super fine. Don't worry. Although I have an unbreakable blood relationship with Xia Jianyong, I don't care about him at all."
"Those I don't care about can't hurt me."
"That's good. Let's go eat." Chi Shaokang walked steadily towards the door with his hands behind his back.
Xia Yuhuan quickly followed and asked Chi Shaokang, "Dad, can you drink alcohol? I made some medicinal wine earlier, it's ready to drink, would you like to try some?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang asked curiously, "You can even make medicinal wine? Is there anything you can't do?"
His wife is a skilled doctor, intelligent, and has a good personality. In his eyes, she is already an extremely outstanding and perfect person. He never expected that she could bring him such a different kind of surprise.
"Making medicinal wine is simple, nothing special," Xia Yuhuan said.
"It's simple in some ways, but difficult in others. There's a skill involved in making this medicinal wine. I happen to have some free time today, so I'll have a small drink. Let me try your medicinal wine," Chi Shaokang said with a smile.
Xia Yuhuan immediately agreed and then ran upstairs.
She did indeed make medicinal wine, but she did so in her spatial dimension using spiritual spring water.
To avoid giving herself away, Xia Yuhuan took the wine out of her spatial storage and placed two jars in the corner of the room.
Then, she carried the wine jar downstairs.
Poor Chi Yanzhou, who was completely ignored by her from beginning to end, was still eagerly waiting for her to come over and talk to him.
Hearing her footsteps enter the room, turn around, and then leave again, Chi Yanzhou, lying on the bed, was so anxious that he wanted to speak.
