Witnessing Xia Jianlin being so easily dismissed by his sister with just a few words, Xia Tao's eyes widened in astonishment.
After regaining his senses, he couldn't help but look at his younger sister with even more admiration and worship.
"Old Xia, I always feel like there are quite a few eyes watching you. Before we came to Beijing, we never imagined there were other people hiding behind us. We were only focused on dealing with Guo Guanghua's gang, who could have predicted that there would be such a well-informed informant who slipped through the net!"
Xia Wan frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt as she stared at her father, her mind racing as she tried to figure out who could be spying on her from the shadows.
However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she still couldn't figure out the identity and purpose of that mysterious person.
Xia Wan couldn't help but shake her head slightly and sighed inwardly, "Sigh, it's really puzzling, who on earth is so concerned about our father?"
At this moment, Xia's father appeared quite calm. He smiled slightly and comforted her, "Daughter, don't worry, eating is the most important thing. I reckon you'll be discharged in a few days. Let's just be extra careful during this time."
It's probably just that some people don't want him to return to the Xia family in the capital; as for whether they have other sinister intentions, it's hard to say.
Moreover, even if he were to return to that so-called family, it was still uncertain whether his biological father would genuinely accept him.
When Xia Jianlin was welcomed back to the Xia family as a relative, a bitter feeling welled up in Xia's father's heart.
It seems that even if they go back, they probably won't receive much attention or care.
If that's the case, why bother fighting tooth and nail with a complete stranger here? It's utterly pointless.
Thinking of this, Xia's father smiled freely, turned to his daughter and said, "Alright, girl, don't look so gloomy. Quickly put out the food you brought back, and let's enjoy a good meal together."
Xia Wan listened to her father's words and nodded obediently. Then she shrugged and deftly opened the lunchbox she was carrying. She carefully took out the fragrant food and placed it neatly on the cabinet next to the hospital bed.
Eating first is a feasible option, and then we can check it out later.
It's worth noting that since the system was upgraded, its query function has become much more convenient.
Now, she only needs to deduct points once to enjoy 24-hour inquiry service, and she currently has quite a few points.
After all, she has never slacked off during this period of time and has been working tirelessly!
At this moment, Xia Tao frowned slightly and asked with a worried expression, "Dad, do you think Xia Jianlin might send a letter to our Huaihua Brigade?"
Clearly, he was very worried about this matter.
However, Xia Jianguo seemed not to hear him at all, his hand still holding the food didn't stop for a moment, and he just replied nonchalantly, "Send the letter if you want, do you think your third uncle doesn't hate him?"
The "third uncle" he was referring to was naturally Xia Jiandang.
Back then, because of the favoritism shown by Old Man Xia and others, I'm afraid that Xia Jiandang now feels nothing but resentment towards Xia Jianlin, and can hardly find any other feelings for him!
Hearing this, Xia Wan nodded, seemingly lost in thought, and said softly, "That's true. It's true that Xia Jiandang harbors resentment towards Xia Jianlin, but if Xia Jianlin were to reveal all those things without reservation, it might really cause us a lot of trouble."
Xia Tao's brows remained furrowed, and the worry on his face deepened. He then hurriedly said, "In that case, should we inform Uncle San beforehand so that he can be prepared and avoid being caught off guard?"
Xia Jianguo shook his head slightly, a disdainful smile on his face, and mocked, "Ignore him. Shen Jianlin is getting more and more foolish! He can't cause any trouble at all!"
Back then, Shen Jianlin only managed to get by by showing off his cleverness and flattering the Xia couple.
But now that he's been brought to the city, in the eyes of those shrewd people, he's nothing more than a ridiculous clown, just adding to the amusement!
After the meal, Xia Wan did not rush back to the guesthouse.
Taking advantage of her position in the hospital, she secretly conducted a thorough investigation into Xia Jianlin and Guo Guanghua, even delving into her father's family background.
After a thorough investigation, Xia Wan was surprised to discover that the thug who was responsible for passing messages to Xia Jianlin had absolutely no connection with Guo Guanghua.
Only then did Xia Wan realize that Old Master Xia had long known that Xia Jianlin was an imposter, and that he was also fully aware of Old Xia's trip to Beijing for medical treatment.
The reason Xia Jianlin learned about Xia Jianguo's situation in the hospital was because his third daughter, Xia Shuhua, overheard him talking to someone in his study.
Therefore, Xia Shuhua spared no expense to bribe the thug and instructed him to spread the news of Xia Jianguo's hospitalization to Xia Jianlin!
After learning the truth, Xia Wan fell into deep thought. She stared silently at the documents in her hand, sighing to herself: I never imagined that my father's family of origin was so complicated...
However, the identity of Grandpa Xia's third daughter is quite special. It turns out that she is not Grandpa Xia's biological daughter, but an orphan left behind by the person who saved his life.
Although this adopted daughter has no blood relation to the Xia family, she has been carefully cared for and loved by Old Master Xia for many years.
As for Mr. Xia's other two biological daughters, Xia Shuyu and Xia Shuqin, after some investigation, it was found that they have not shown any ill intentions or improper attempts.
This allowed the Xia family to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, since harmony and stability within the family are of paramount importance to a large family.
Meanwhile, let's turn our attention to Guo Guanghua. Ever since he angered Old Master Xia, he's been in deep trouble, suffering relentless suppression from the old master. Guo Guanghua is currently overwhelmed with his own problems and has no time to bother them.
Thinking of this, Xia Wan couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.
Recalling how much effort she had put into dealing with those people from Yongmao County, Xia Wan couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
Who would have thought that in this dramatic world of the novel, even those characters who never appear from beginning to end would have such intricate storylines and unexpected plot developments hidden behind them!
