Chapter 71 The Problem Lies with the Xia Family



"Not suitable?"

"Why am I not fully qualified? Am I too old? Or am I not qualified?"

Song Jinchen's stubborn temper instantly came out, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of grievance.

Xia Zhibai pointed at him and said, "You are destined to be rich and noble. This is not suitable for you."

When Xia Zhibai first looked at his face, he also felt strange. He was obviously destined to be rich, but he was lacking something in everything he did.

As for why he was successful in business, it was because of his good deeds and the foundation of the Song family.

"Then I can learn some life-saving methods from you, okay?"

"That's not impossible." Xia Zhibai looked at Song Jinchen's aggrieved look and nodded in agreement.

"Of course, whether you can learn it or not depends on your own understanding."

After Xia Zhibai finished speaking, he immediately thought of asking him to do more good deeds so that he could accumulate merits.

In the human world, his body has merits and virtues, which are very beneficial to him.

"By the way, I'm doing some charity work. If you're interested, you can ask my agent Su Yue for advice."

"Okay! Our Song family has always been involved in charity work. I'm good at this. Leave it to me."

Xia Zhibai really didn't expect that her proposal would involve the Song family.

"No, it has to be you, not the Song family." Xia Zhibai shook his head. Only if it is done in his name will the merit be rewarded to him.

Song Jinchen nodded without thinking: "Okay, I'll do it. I won't tell my family."

Mo Nanfeng was a little surprised that Xia Zhibai would teach Song Jinchen to do this, and was a little confused.

Xia Zhibai did not explain, but she knew in her heart that getting along with a virtuous person like Song Jinchen would also be beneficial to her.

After all, if Song Jinchen earned merit, she would also benefit from it because she helped such a meritorious person.

She knows everything about this little calculation!

"By the way, I have an appointment with Yang Sibai tonight, so I won't chat with you guys anymore. I'm going back to catch up on some sleep."

Xia Zhibai thought about meeting Yang Sibai in the evening, so he stood up and said goodbye to them.

"Okay, I'll take you home." This time, Mo Nanfeng didn't look at Song Jinchen. He took Xia Zhibai out without waiting for him to catch up.

Song Jinchen hurried to catch up, but was rejected by Mo Nanfeng: "Achen, I have something to do later, you can ask someone to pick you up yourself."

Song Jinchen blinked repeatedly. He really didn't expect that his good brother would reject him like this.

The person left, leaving only Song Jinchen standing there, unable to react.

Finally, he murmured, "Nanfeng didn't let me get in the car...what happened to him?"

On the way back, Xia Zhibai leaned on the seat and dozed off.

Mo Nanfeng glanced at her sideways: "Are you sleepy?"

He felt a little complicated when he looked at her.

It seemed like he felt a little uncomfortable seeing her so relaxed with Song Jinchen.

Like something is blocked.

Xia Zhibai said "hmm" softly and asked, "Have you settled your family affairs?"

Mo Nanfeng didn't expect her to ask this. He slowly withdrew his gaze from her and whispered, "Not yet, but it will be soon."

The Xu family is now in an isolated position. The eldest and second brothers have already sent people to fight them secretly. There will be news in a few days.

So, he doesn't need to worry too much.

"That's good. Did your return this time arouse any suspicion?"

Xia Zhibai opened his eyes and looked at his still sickly face. He really felt that it was not easy to live a good life in a noble family as he had to be on guard against this and that.

"No, my grandfather thought I was seriously ill. When the Xia family saw me like this, they didn't beat around the bush and directly proposed to cancel the engagement."

At this point, Mo Nanfeng showed a hint of ridicule at the corner of his lips. The one who came this time was the one in power of the Xia family, and he actually dared to take the initiative to cancel the engagement.

Xia Zhibai frowned slightly as she listened. She had secretly calculated for the Xia family and concluded that Father Xia shouldn't be such an impulsive person.

When something is strange, there must be something wrong.

She pondered for a moment and then asked, "Did you find anything unusual?"

The traffic light turned red, and Mo Nanfeng slowly stopped the car. He looked at her face and found that her eyes were somewhat similar to Xia's father's. He felt a little puzzled, but he didn't ask in the end. He whispered:

"Xia Rouxin is fine. Her father, Xia Hongyi, is a bit timid, but he has made up his mind to break off the engagement this time. He is quite courageous."

When he said this, Xia Zhibai immediately understood that the problem was caused by Xia's father.

"Thank you for letting me know."

"Do you think there's something wrong with Xia Hongyi? Even if I'm going to die, it'll be after October of this year, before I turn 30. But I'm only 25. Isn't it a bit unwise for him to break off the engagement so early?"

Although Mo Nanfeng didn't want to get involved in the Xia family's affairs, he couldn't hold back his words when he saw those similar eyes.

Xia Zhibai pursed his lips and heard the car behind him honking. He said to him, "Drive first. If the Xia family is willing to pay me to go and take a look, I'm still happy to earn money."

The implication is that she is not willing to have anything to do with the Xia family.

It is also to tell Mo Nanfeng that she has nothing to do with the Xia family, and you don’t need to look at her if you want to do anything to the Xia family.

Neither of them said it explicitly, but they both knew what was going on.

After sending Xia Zhibai home, the two of them didn't speak again along the way.

When Xia Zhibai returned to Su Yue's residence, he suddenly thought that she should also buy a house so that it would be more convenient to live in.

If anything happens, it won't involve others.

"Sister Su, what are you doing?"

When Xia Zhibai saw several bags in the living room, she squatted on the ground and took out the things in the bags.

"Oh, you're back! I just remembered that when you bought clothes, they were probably all the same styles as you're wearing. But for everyday wear or for dinner with Yang Sibai tonight, it's better to wear something casual."

"So these are the clothes you bought?" Xia Zhibai looked at the clothes on display and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I bought this for you. Because of you, I've received quite a bit of dividends recently. You helped me so much last time. I'm buying you some clothes. You won't look down on me and refuse to accept them, right?"

Su Yue's domineering face now looked innocent, which made Xia Zhibai's scalp tingle.

Ordinary people's emotions are indeed very changeable.

"I don't know what you like, but I bought some skirts and pants. This set is a casual wide T-shirt and casual pants, and this aqua silk long skirt is perfect for dining with a star like Yang Sibai."

Su Yue held the clothes and introduced them, looking at her expectantly, wanting her to give a response.

Xia Zhibai’s previous requirement for clothing was that it should be elegant and decent, and have defensive or offensive power.

But here, they are all ordinary people. If she wants to increase defense and attack, she can draw the formation herself.

But Su Yue wanted her to dress similarly to them. Did she want her to blend in with them?

In the end, she shook her head and kindly refused:

“Sister Su, I don’t treat you as an outsider. You letting me live here is my reward;

The clothes are very beautiful. I remember you have a younger sister who just graduated and started working. These clothes will suit her very well.”
