Chapter 131 Sang Qi's Considerations
Sang Qi was stunned. He didn't expect Huo Jingchen to refuse so straightforwardly.
"Comrade Sang, I think it's good for us to live without disturbing each other. I live on Zhuifeng Island and can't visit you at any time. Is this niece really important?"
After Xia Mi finished speaking, "Or have you forgotten that you actually already have a niece."
"Xia Mi, I can explain this. Blood is thicker than water. You are my only relative in the world who is related to me by blood. Yaoyao is different from you."
Sangqi looked at Xia Mi seriously, and his words were full of humility.
This made the eyes of several people around who knew Sangqi's identity change slightly when they looked at Xia Mi.
My husband is a battalion commander and his uncle is a secretary.
However, it seems that Xia Mi doesn't want to recognize Secretary Sang. This shocked everyone even more. Someone actually doesn't even want to recognize the secretary?
It is true that those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods.
"If you feel confused or uncomfortable because I adopted Yaoyao as my goddaughter, I can find a way to solve it."
After hearing this, Xia Mi didn't know whether she should sigh at the power of blood ties or sympathize with Xia Yaoyao.
Huo Jingchen silently stood in front of Xia Mi, blocking their line of sight. "Let me interrupt first. It doesn't matter whether you recognize her or not. Secretary Sang, you are describing my wife as so important now."
Huo Jingchen imitated Sang Qi's tone.
"Blood is thicker than water. Your only relative in the world is your only relative. Isn't your only relative worth coming to Wind Chasing Island to take a look at?"
This question hits the nail on the head.
People who don’t know Xia Mi subconsciously put her in a lower position, while Sangqi is the superior.
I think her behavior is ungrateful.
In Huo Jingchen's opinion, Sang Qi was not worthy of Xia Mi's recognition as her uncle. He was unwilling to even come to see her, and there was no sincerity at all.
Now he is still pretending to be saying how important Xia Mi is.
If it weren't for maintaining the image of a soldier, Huo Jingchen would have just wanted to take the people away quickly.
Sanchi couldn't answer.
Xia Mi took a look and the atmosphere at the scene became inexplicably tense. "We have something else to do in the afternoon, so we'll leave first. Goodbye, Comrade Wang."
Wang Chengzhang didn’t know whether he should nod or not, as if whether he nodded or not, the person would leave.
"Secretary Sang, is Comrade Xia your niece?"
Wang Chengzhang was a cadre in a marginal county in Suzhou. His brother-in-law's father worked in the county party committee. That was how he met Sang Qi by chance. He never expected that they would have such a strong connection.
"Yeah." Sangqi looked at the departing figure, feeling bitter.
I had just started working, so how could I have the time to take a long vacation? The more important the position, the more I could not leave. Sang Qi couldn't understand why Huo Jingchen would make things difficult for him.
Come to think of it, it makes sense, considering his father's status.
Xia Mi's status alone is much higher than his, so why bother thinking from his own perspective.
Sangqi figured it out all of a sudden, but he still didn't want to give up.
After leaving Songhe Tower, Xia Jing tactfully did not mention what happened just now and began to ask Xia Mi what her favorite pastries were.
"Let's go for Dingsheng Cake. It has a good meaning and it's not too sweet."
Xia Mi thought about it seriously, "In fact, the scallion lard cake is also delicious, but it feels a bit greasy to me."
There are many pastries in Suzhou. The famous Daoxiangcun was also born in Suzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that there are hundreds of kinds of pastries. It is really difficult for her to choose her favorite one.
After arriving at the store, I was almost dazzled by the pastries in the glass cabinet.
A bright light flashed in Huo Jingchen's eyes. He didn't expect there would be so many types.
Xia Mi and Xia Jing were just reading out the menu. The salesperson's movements were neat and quick, and soon portions of pastries suitable for giving away were assembled and packaged.
Xia Mi bought four copies and spent a total of twenty-three yuan.
Xia Jing bought more, but the variety was limited and she spent thirty yuan.
After buying some pastries, I briefly wandered around the rest of the place before going back to pack my luggage. -Late at night, Sangqi returned home drunk and feeling depressed.
Zhang Xiaoqin knew that Sang Qi had a bad stomach and usually would not drink if he could avoid it, unless he was accompanied by an important leader. But today he was clearly just going to attend a wedding.
"Why do you drink so much?"
Zhang Xiaoqin helped the man into the room, and while asking questions, she left the room and went to the living room to get a basin so that she could catch the vomit when he vomited later.
"I saw Xia Mi today."
Sang Qi's words were unclear, but they still surprised Zhang Xiaoqin.
"Who did you meet?" she asked uncertainly. Her whole body was extremely tense, and even the movement of putting down the basin was much lighter.
Sang Qi opened his eyes and said seriously, "Xia Mi, my eldest sister's biological daughter."
"She and my eldest sister really look alike, they are just like two peas in a pod."
"No wonder you drank so much." Zhang Xiaoqin subconsciously thought that the two had recognized each other and Sang Qi drank so much because he was happy.
"Then Yaoyao, what are you going to do?"
"Why will there definitely be a conflict between the two of them?" Sang Qi didn't understand. Xia Mi also brought up this topic this afternoon.
Zhang Xiaoqin was puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"
Sangqi sat up and recounted what happened today with a melancholy look on his face.
"Since she doesn't want to recognize you, forget it. Besides, what Xia Mi said makes sense. She is on Zhuifeng Island and can't do anything for you in the future. What's the point of recognizing her?"
Sangqi shook his head and asked, "Does the existence of relatives necessarily have value?"
"..." Zhang Xiaoqin couldn't answer, just like Sang Qi at noon.
"Do you think she will stay on Wind Chaser Island forever? Have you forgotten who she married?"
Sang Qi expressed his concerns, "She and Huo Jingchen are not a good match, and the teachers are far away, so there is nothing they can do to stop them."
"If I were here, my status could barely make some people shut up. In this way, Xia Mi would have fewer rumors when she returns to the imperial capital, which would be good for her."
Zhang Xiaoqin snorted coldly, "You are so considerate of others, but they may not appreciate it."
"I was wrong in this matter, no wonder the child hates me." Sangqi spoke for Xia Mi.
Thinking of Xia Yaoyao, Sang Qi really couldn't do it. He just kicked his own niece away when he found her. It was true that the eldest sister had raised Xia Yaoyao wholeheartedly for more than ten years, and the effort and love she had put in was also real.
Thanks to Xia Yaoyao, he learned about the lives his elder sister and her family had lived after he left.
"As for Yaoyao, this matter has nothing to do with her. I will find a way to solve it."
Zhang Xiaoqin picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot water. "Last time we went to the Xia family, they kept silent about Xia Mi's past. I think these two kids may not get along or have had a conflict in the past."
"After all, Xia Mi is an adopted daughter, and Yaoyao is a biological daughter. As soon as the biological daughter came back, the adopted daughter was married to the Wind Chasing Island. It is unacceptable for a normal person, let alone a child who has been raised since childhood."
