Chapter 50 Waiting to Kneel on the Washboard
Xia Yaoyao changed the subject, "Xia Mi, today my mother and I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, stewed carrot and pork ribs soup, and cooked a table of dishes you like."
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
"You took leave from the factory just to come and cook for me. Isn't this a bit of a waste of time?"
Xia Mi sat at the dining table, looking at the table full of dishes, and her uneasiness deepened.
Li Yinshuang smiled flatteringly, "Xia Mi, it was only after you left that Yaoyao and I realized that we were indeed a bit harsh on you before. It was indeed our fault to call you to Zhuifeng Island."
As she spoke, Li Yinshuang picked up a piece of pork ribs for her.
"Fortunately, you are lucky to have met Captain Huo. This can be considered a kind of fate by chance. Now that I see that you are doing well, I am relieved."
Xia Mi frowned uncomfortably, as if she was acting with someone else, especially when she saw Li Yinshuang's exaggerated acting skills.
"As you can see, I'm living a good life, better than before. It would be even better without your disturbance. Now your arrival has caused trouble to my life."
This unknown danger is like walking on a tightrope. She has to be careful with every step, as she might fall if she is not careful.
"My child, I know that your father and I were wrong before and ignored your feelings, so I brought Yaoyao here to apologize to you."
Xia Mi raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them, judging the truth of what she said based on their reactions.
"I'm sorry, Xia Mi, my appearance was too sudden and I forgot to consider your feelings." Xia Yaoyao's attitude was so sincere that nothing could be said.
It's weird, I can't tell what's weird about it.
According to Li Yinshuang's understanding of Xia Mi, Xia Mi should have been deeply moved by now, but unexpectedly, Xia Mi had a blank expression on her face.
When the core changes, a person's character will naturally change. Besides, Xia Mi has read this book, and every decision made by the heroine must have a purpose.
But she has become cannon fodder, what use can she have? Looking at the abnormal behavior of the two, Xia Mi brainstormed without showing any emotion.
"Auntie, Comrade Xia, I have something to say to you. If you do something wrong, you should apologize immediately. This is something that even children know. You have delayed your apology until now. You have no sincerity at all."
Huo Jinying's tone was relaxed and she put down her chopsticks.
"Or has something changed your view of your sister-in-law and made you realize her importance?"
This statement is to the point.
Xia Mi looked at the two of them, "Yeah, I'm curious too."
"How could I be that kind of person?" Li Yinshuang said with wide eyes, aggrieved.
Xia Yaoyao suppressed her anger and looked at Huo Jinying with an irritated look, "Comrade Huo, this is our family affair. We realized our mistake after calming down. Isn't it enough to apologize now? Please don't sow discord."
"Sowing discord? If I'm not mistaken, you two are rivals, one is my biological daughter, and the other is my adopted daughter."
Huo Jinying asked Xia Mi in surprise, "You don't really want to forgive her, do you?"
Xia Mi shook her head, "No..."
Xia Yaoyao's back teeth were almost broken. How could Xia Mi have the nerve to say no?
She had suffered a lot at Xia Mi's hands when she returned home, and now she really wanted to climb to the sky just by being given a ladder? Logically speaking, Xia Mi should be the one to apologize! "Comrade Huo, this matter has nothing to do with you, you are not qualified to make a decision for Xia Mi." Xia Yaoyao hated this Cheng Yaojin who showed up halfway.
Did the Huo family’s children grow up drinking poison?
Each one of them is more shameless and vicious than the other.
Xia Yaoyao exhaled the foul air and retreated to advance.
"The purpose of my mom and I coming here this time is very simple. We really just want to see if you are doing well. If you don't like us being here, mom and I will leave tomorrow."
Since her rebirth, everything has been going well for her, except for Xia Mi's matter.
Huo Jinying continued to ask, "But I just arrived, are you going to leave? Then who will play with me?"
"Comrade Huo, we are here to see Xia Mi, not to play with you." Li Yinshuang's face twitched with anger.
How could there be such a shameless person in the world!
"Well, when are you leaving tomorrow? Huo Jingchen specially asked me to prepare a gift for you. I wanted to wait until you left to give it to you, but I didn't expect to give it away so soon. It's such a special gift, and I'm a little reluctant to give it away."
Huo Jinying put down her chopsticks and sighed.
"If you can't bear to part with it, just keep it. We don't want it either." Xia Yaoyao retorted.
"This was specially made for you. I can't keep it for myself."
The mother and daughter were so angry that they were speechless. As soon as they wanted to talk to Xia Mi alone, Huo Jinying jumped out to interrupt. - South City State Guesthouse.
Huo Jingchen and Jiang Weidong arrived in Nancheng in the early morning. After leaving the train station, people from the research institute sent a car to pick them up. It was already late at night when they arrived at the research institute.
"Many leaders will be attending the conference this time, so be careful with your words."
Jiang Weidong warned Huo Jingchen with concern.
"I know. Don't you know me? I speak nicely." Huo Jingchen raised the corners of his lips, very confident.
The car stopped at the entrance of the guesthouse and Jiang Weidong got out first.
"Don't be so careless. What will it look like to the other troops?"
Huo Jingchen followed behind him, "Don't worry, I am the most mature and steady person. I think before I speak, and I make a draft in my mind and recite it repeatedly before speaking."
"I'm speaking seriously to you."
Jiang Weidong had a dark complexion to begin with, and late at night, his face was droopy and as dark as ink.
"I've followed you out so many times, don't you have this little trust in me, Lao Jiang?" Huo Jingchen smiled and was calm. He took the initiative to take his certificate to check in.
There are people who are at the same time as them.
The man was tall and dressed in a formal black Mao suit. There was a secretary-like person beside him carrying the luggage.
Huo Jingchen was standing at the back. The man noticed someone behind him and glanced back.
With just one glance, Huo Jingchen remembered the man's appearance. At first glance, he thought he saw a middle-aged version of Xia Mi, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned.
Sanzi saw that the person behind him was wearing a navy uniform, and judging from the rank on his collar, he was at the battalion level, and the person next to him had a higher rank.
Sangqi took the initiative to talk, "Comrade, are you here to attend the conference?"
When he looked again, the person in front of him had nothing to do with Xia Mi. Although they looked similar, their facial features and looks were different.
"Yeah, you too?" Huo Jingchen continued.
Sanchi shook his head, "I'm not, I'm just here to do something."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guesthouse staff handed over the ID and key. Sangqi took them and said, "I've done it. It's your turn now."
The person next to Sang Qi took the luggage, and he took the keys and ID and left to make room for Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen handed the certificate to the staff and looked in the direction where Sang Qi left.
After checking in, he thanked her, took the key, and asked Jiang Weidong, "Old Jiang, do you think that person just now looks a bit like Xia Mi?"
"Is there something wrong with your eyes or is your brain stupid from staying up all night? In your eyes, Xia Mi is just a tall and strong man in his forties?"
I had been sitting on the train for a whole day and my whole body was sore. Now I had to listen to Huo Jingchen asking such idiotic questions.
Jiang Weidong felt annoyed.
"Just wait, kid. I will tell your sister-in-law about this when I get back. Wait till you kneel on the washboard."
There is one last level in PK, please don't keep posting~
