Chapter 47 Her scumbag father hates her but can't kill her.
Before leaving, Xia Zhuyu whispered in Xia Yuhuan's ear, "You think you've won by sending me away? You think you can rest easy now?"
"This is just the beginning. I haven't lost, and you haven't won!"
"If you don't believe me, we'll see."
Xia Zhuyu spoke with such certainty, as if she had everything under control.
Xia Yuhuan was momentarily stunned by her.
While she was lost in thought, she heard Xia Jianyong's soft exclamation.
It turned out that Li Rouyue couldn't handle the shock and fainted.
Xia Jianyong held Li Rouyue in his arms, calling her name softly with a look of heartache on his face.
"Rouyue, how are you, Rouyue?"
Xia Yuhuan heard the noise and looked over.
To be honest, the way the two of them looked at each other, one dizzy and the other anxiously calling out, was actually quite pleasing to the eye at first glance.
Although Xia Jianyong is a scumbag, he has good looks. Even though he's an old lecher, his face is still quite attractive.
With a height of over 1.7 meters and a well-maintained figure, I don't know if she has abs, but she doesn't have a big belly, so she looks quite pleasing to the eye.
Li Rouyue, this shameless mistress, did not forget to manage her figure after successfully taking over. She still appeared slender and slim, with a curvy figure.
Putting everything else aside, her age, figure, and face alone are enough to outshine over 90% of women her age.
No wonder she was able to rise to power as a mistress; she must have some skill.
As if sensing her gaze, Xia Jianyong suddenly looked up at her, his disdain and disgust undisguised.
"You've seen the show, now you can get out of here," Xia Jianyong said, picking up Li Rouyue and carrying her inside, ignoring Xia Yuhuan.
Where she couldn't see, Xia Jianyong's eyes were filled with gloom.
This is a crucial moment in his competition for the position of chief of staff. He also needs to curry favor with the Chi family and use their influence to achieve his goals. Therefore, although he dislikes Xia Yuhuan intensely, he cannot afford to fall out with her at this time.
Once he becomes chief of staff, he will make Xia Yuhuan know exactly what the price is for angering him!
Xia Yuhuan blinked gently.
This easy-going Xia Jianyong is almost unlike himself.
He clearly hated her to death, yet he seemed to be afraid of something, and dared not say anything harsh to her.
What exactly is this guy up to?
Xia Yuhuan couldn't understand it, so she didn't go in to ask.
There's no need to dwell on things that are destined to remain unanswered.
Xia Yuhuan then returned home.
She had arranged to meet Jiang Zhicheng at the military hospital with Chi Shaokang later, and Yan Hu would pick her up.
Xia Yuhuan had just returned home when the phone rang.
Aunt Zhao answered the phone and then called out to Xia Yuhuan, "Young Madam, it's a call for you."
Xia Yuhuan was somewhat surprised: "Looking for me?"
She has no friends in this world, let alone friends she can afford to call.
The only people who could call the Chi family to find her are either Chi Shaokang or Zhang Xianya.
Sure enough, when I answered the phone, it was Yan Hu.
"Xia, the leader has to go to an emergency meeting, so I can't pick you up. I'll arrange for someone from the drivers' team to come and get you," Yan Hu said.
Xia Yuhuan glanced at the time and, seeing that it was still early, said, "No need, Uncle Yan, I can just ride my bike over myself. Anyway, the compound isn't too far from the military region, so it'll save me the trouble of picking you up and dropping you off."
These days, everyone walks to get around, so the fact that she can ride a bicycle already puts her ahead of many others.
"Okay, then ride slowly and be careful on the road. When you get to the military region, give them your leader's name, and I'll let the sentry know in a bit."
“You’ve been to the military hospital before. When you get there, just say that your superiors told you to go see Vice President Jiang Zhicheng. Someone will take you to Vice President Jiang’s office,” Yan Hu said.
“Okay, I understand, Uncle Yan,” Xia Yuhuan replied.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yuhuan went upstairs and told Chi Yanzhou that she was going out.
"I'm going out now, to the military hospital."
“When I went to the military hospital to help save people, Vice President Jiang Zhicheng took a liking to my medical skills and wanted to recruit me into the hospital. I went to talk to him and if it was a good fit, I started working there.”
"Although we've never had a serious conversation, I think I've gotten into the habit of letting you know when I leave or come home."
"Habit is a terrible thing."
Xia Yuhuan muttered something before getting up and leaving.
Hearing her words, Chi Yanzhou could only silently wish Xia Yuhuan all the best.
It's good that she can go to work; it's better than staying at home with him, a vegetable who can't move.
Chi Yanzhou felt somewhat dejected as he thought about his current state.
She was so outstanding; if it weren't for that marriage contract, if her parents hadn't insisted on him marrying a woman to bring him good luck, she would never have married him, and they would never have crossed paths.
But now, in the course of their time together, he has developed feelings for her and is infatuated with her.
Sometimes even Chi Yanzhou himself finds it unbelievable.
After all, he had never met her, and all his understanding of her came from their interactions without her knowledge, based on his highly subjective perceptions.
Perhaps this is what the ancients meant when they said, "Love arises without knowing its origin, and deepens with each passing moment."
Or perhaps, this is their unique destiny?
Xia Yuhuan had no idea how complicated Chi Yanzhou's thoughts were.
Before she left home, she told Aunt Zhao.
"Aunt Zhao, I have to go out for a bit. Today is the day Dr. Wang is coming to examine Chi Yanzhou. Please stay home and wait for Dr. Wang to arrive."
"Okay, I understand. Be careful on your way out," Aunt Zhao quickly replied.
Xia Yuhuan then rode her bicycle away from the Chi family.
Riding a bicycle on the road, it was late spring and early summer. The high temperatures of summer had not yet arrived. The breeze was gentle and brought a soft and comfortable feeling to my body.
Xia Yuhuan was in a good mood.
Although the economy took off, technology developed rapidly, and cities were filled with high-rise buildings, making people's lives much more convenient, such development also brought many problems.
Putting aside everything else, the continuous rise in global temperatures, turning four seasons into two, is a very direct pain point.
The temperatures in later generations were either scorching hot or freezing cold, and the tactile sensations of spring and autumn were weakened, which once made her doubt the existence of these two seasons.
It wasn't until she traveled back to the 1970s that she truly felt the distinctness of spring.
To get to the military region, you have to go to the outskirts. Once Xia Yuhuan left the city, the road became much less pleasant, and the bumpy ride forced her to pay close attention to the road conditions.
After walking a while longer, she saw an old woman lying on the road.
Xia Yuhuan subconsciously slowed down the car.
Around the person who fell to the ground, a basket and some vegetables lay scattered.
It looks like she tripped and fell on her way home after buying groceries and fainted.
Xia Yuhuan put her feet on the ground and frowned as she looked at the person who had fallen not far away.
She glanced again at the tall weeds that lined both sides of the road.
