Chapter 70 Threatening the Scumbag Father, Holding Him Completely in His Hands
Xia Jianyong clearly acted like a rogue, leaving Xia Yuhuan speechless.
Xia Yuhuan countered, "I did promise to help you settle things with Chi Zhenghao's revenge against you, but you haven't come looking for me. Besides, wasn't Chi Zhenghao on a mission? Has he come back?"
Xia Jianyong felt even more frustrated when he saw that she seemed to know nothing.
Chi Zhenghao returned yesterday, and the first thing he did upon his return was to deal with him, causing him a lot of trouble and making him extremely anxious.
In fact, even if he hadn't lost the election, he would have come to see Xia Yuhuan today anyway.
But now that he has lost the election, he naturally wants to take this opportunity to erase the matter from his mind.
Just as Xia Jianyong was about to renege on the contract, Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up and she raised her hand to wave at something in the distance.
"Chi Zhenghao, you're here just in time! Come over here, I need to talk to you," Xia Yuhuan called out.
Xia Jianyong turned his head and saw that it really was Chi Zhenghao.
His heart skipped a beat. What a coincidence!
Chi Zhenghao stepped forward, his icy gaze sweeping over Xia Jianyong.
The pain subsided slightly when it landed on Xia Yuhuan.
"What's wrong? Did he bully you?" Chi Zhenghao asked.
Chi Zhenghao knew that Xia Yuhuan was in a bad situation in the Xia family and that Xia Jianyong treated her badly, so he asked about it as soon as he opened his mouth.
"No, I need to talk to you about something," Xia Yuhuan immediately shook her head and said.
"Didn't you owe me a favor before? Now I want you to fulfill the first condition."
“Okay, go ahead,” Chi Zhenghao replied immediately.
“Didn’t Lao Xia scheme against you before? I heard he’s been causing him trouble these past few days. My first condition is that you let this go and stop holding a grudge against him,” Xia Yuhuan demanded directly.
Upon hearing this, Chi Zhenghao's expression immediately turned cold: "Are you expecting me to suffer this in silence?"
As he spoke, his suspicious gaze fell on the two of them: "You two wouldn't have conspired to drug me, would you?"
The purpose was to make him grateful to Xia Yuhuan so that they could take advantage of him.
Xia Yuhuan rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "If I wanted to set you up, why go through all this trouble? I could just let you and Xia Zhuyu get together, let her marry you, and you would become the Xia family's son-in-law. Wouldn't that be better than what we're doing now?"
"Chi Zhenghao, are you out of your mind?!" Xia Yuhuan scolded him irritably.
Chi Jung-ho was a little embarrassed by the scolding.
"Or are you going back on your word and saying this on purpose?" Xia Yuhuan looked at her warily.
"You're talking nonsense. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I will never go back on my promise. I promise you!" Chi Zhenghao said coldly.
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Jianyong and said coldly, "You're lucky this time, someone pleaded for you. But if you fall into my hands again, I won't let you off so easily!"
After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Xia Yuhuan: If there really is another chance to deal with Xia Jianyong, she won't plead for him again, will she?
She couldn't possibly use all three conditions on Xia Jianyong, could she?
Xia Jianyong, who was standing to the side, awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "No...no, it won't happen again."
Xia Yuhuan was satisfied upon hearing this and waved to Chi Zhenghao: "Alright, you can go inside and wait. I have something to say to Lao Xia, so don't just stand here."
Xia Yuhuan took the concept of "use and discard" to the extreme.
Chi Zhenghao was indignant. He snorted coldly, turned around, and strode away.
After he left, Xia Yuhuan looked at Xia Jianyong and said, "Well, I've taken care of Chi Zhenghao's report for you. As for Xia Zhuyu, I didn't let her get into any trouble. Now you have nothing to say, right?"
The promotion was Xia Jianyong's own business; he failed on his own, so it can't be blamed on her.
Xia Jianyong smirked: "Yu Huan, I am still your biological father. Are you really willing to sever ties with me?"
Since he couldn't deny the written agreement, Xia Jianyong had no choice but to try another way, attempting to rekindle the father-daughter bond between Xia Yuhuan and her father.
Xia Yuhuan wasn't buying it at all. She looked at him coldly and said in an icy voice, "Xia Jianyong, do you want to back out?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Jianyong did not immediately respond.
He really wanted to back out!
At this moment, he even regretted that he had come up with some kind of contract and made her sign it in order to prevent Xia Yuhuan from having second thoughts.
If it's just a verbal agreement, he can go back on his word.
Nowadays, even going back on your word when it's written in black and white has become troublesome.
"Heh..." Xia Yuhuan chuckled lightly and said with a cold laugh, "Xia Jianyong, even if you don't fully understand my personality, you should know that I am not a pushover."
"Since we've already made a written agreement, it's settled. If you want to break the agreement, you'll have to see if you can afford the consequences!"
Xia Jianyong was shocked and furious upon hearing this, glaring at Xia Yuhuan: "Are you threatening me?"
"That's right, I'm threatening you!" Xia Yuhuan said calmly.
“I am now the daughter-in-law of the Chi family and am well loved by my parents-in-law. Otherwise, my father-in-law would not have temporarily suspended the investigation into Xia Zhuyu because of my words. He didn’t even ask me for the reason.”
"My father-in-law spoils me so much, do you think he would agree if I said I wanted to do something to you that wouldn't be morally wrong?"
"You've just failed to get a promotion, and you must be under pressure to maintain your job stability. You don't want to create another problem that will leave you overwhelmed, right?"
Xia Yuhuan's eyes were indifferent, and she spoke softly and slowly, yet she brought immense pressure to Xia Jianyong.
Xia Jianyong knew in his heart that he had no choice from the moment Xia Yuhuan married into the Chi family and gained the approval and affection of Chi Shaokang and the others.
Xia Yuhuan is no longer the country bumpkin he initially brought back, forced to marry in his place, and had no choice but to agree!
"Fine, break off the relationship then. You'll regret it later!" Xia Jianyong angrily threw down these words and strode away.
Since he had already failed, he didn't want to dwell on it any longer and wanted to find a way to finish what he was doing.
Xia Yuhuan watched Xia Jianyong leave, feeling quite pleased.
She turned and went inside, just in time to see Chi Zhenghao coming downstairs.
"You went to see your brother?" Xia Yuhuan asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes," Chi Zhenghao replied, frowning. "Didn't you say you could save my brother? Why is he still unconscious? There's no improvement at all?"
“He’s been in a vegetative state for so long, how can he wake up in a short time?” Xia Yuhuan retorted.
"And when did I say I could cure him? I just said I'd try, don't talk nonsense."
Xia Yuhuan looked at her with an expression that said, "Don't wrong me."
Chi Zhenghao was puzzled upon hearing this: Could it be that he remembered wrong? Didn't she say that she could cure Chi Yanzhou?
Xia Yuhuan didn't want to get entangled with him any further, so she added, "By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with, but it's not one of the three conditions."
