Chapter 47: Why did you fall in love with her?
Xia Yaoyao felt a bitter feeling in her heart, and the envy in her eyes disappeared in an instant.
As long as she gets better, she can find any man she wants. Even if he is not as handsome as Huo Jingchen, she can find one who likes her.
Yes, as long as the Xia family gets better.
Li Yinshuang was choked by Xia Mi, but she still didn't give up and asked about Huo Jingchen directly.
"Xiao Huo, you look young, but I didn't expect you to be so successful. Where are you from?"
Huo Jingchen kept peeling shrimps. "Well, I'm just a young guy with some skills. I'm from the capital."
When she heard that it was the imperial capital, the first thing Li Yinshuang thought of was the countryside of the imperial capital.
Although he has a rural household registration, Xiao Huo is now the battalion commander, so the household registration is no longer a big deal to him.
"The imperial capital is great." Li Yinshuang muttered.
Li Yinshuang also noticed Huo Jingchen's thoughtful care for Xia Mi.
No wonder, she said Xia Mi seemed like a different person, speaking more confidently than before, it turned out that she had someone backing her up.
"Xia Mi calls you mom, but she is not your biological mother after all. And after what happened before, why don't you let her follow me and call you aunt from now on?"
Huo Jingchen turned sideways, picked up a piece of paper next to him, and began to wipe his hands carefully.
Xia Mi couldn't sit still and looked at Huo Jingchen in surprise.
This person is really the anti-Tian Gang.
Li Yinshuang stopped picking up the food, she put away her chopsticks, and stared a hole through Xia Mi with her scorching eyes.
"Isn't it against the rules to let Xia Mi follow you and call out?"
"You two are not related by blood, so strictly speaking, you don't have to follow the rules. But my aunt has raised Xia Mi for twenty years, so I still have to be grateful."
Except for Shi Daqiang, no one else at the table had any appetite.
"I looked at Xia Mi's file. She got the job at the textile factory through a test. Apart from her family background, she was the top candidate for recruitment in all aspects."
Li Yinshuang was puzzled, "Why are you saying this?"
Why does it feel like the Xia family is dragging her down? If they hadn't used their connections, would Xia Mi have been able to study in the textile factory?
Xia Mi had already guessed Huo Jingchen's purpose and was waiting for him to say the next word.
"The quota has now been given to this comrade. Isn't this a form of repayment?"
Huo Jingchen's eyes fell on Xia Yaoyao.
Li Yinshuang had only been on Zhuifeng Island for less than half a day, but she felt like she was going to die.
What kind of perverse logic is this! "If it weren't for mom and the others, Xia Mi wouldn't have had the chance to take the exam. Captain Huo, you're really obsessed with it." Xia Yaoyao said coldly.
"Then this job won't fall on you. I'm used to living in the countryside. You don't think that just anyone can pass the exam, right?"
Xia Mi said in a resounding voice, "Just do as Jingchen said. Anyway, didn't aunt make it clear that she didn't want me to call you mom anymore?"
Li Yinshuang did say this a lot, but they were all said in anger when Xia Mi did something wrong!
Xia Yaoyao finally understood that Xia Mi was determined to draw a clear line between herself and the Xia family.
That won't work.
As Xia Mi stopped talking, Li Yinshuang wanted to refute, but Xia Yaoyao gave her a look, and she held back what she wanted to say. -At night, Li Yinshuang and Xia Yaoyao went back to their room to rest.
Lying on the bed, Li Yinshuang lifted the quilt. The thin cloth slipped away, and the cotton wool inside curled up into a ball.
When she saw the bulging quilt, her vision went dark and she lost her balance and fell on the bed.
Xia Yaoyao closed the window, turned around and saw this scene, and rushed over to help her, "Mom, are you okay?"
"Yaoyao, tell me the truth, why did you have to come to this Wind Chasing Island? Didn't you agree before that you would not contact Xia Mi anymore?"
Li Yinshuang had enjoyed a glorious life for most of her life, and the Xia family had never been as miserable as they are today even when they fell into poverty.
Seeing that her mother was in great pain, Xia Yaoyao's eyes flashed with hesitation, thinking that she would have to stay in Zhuifeng Island for another three days.
If her mother doesn't cooperate, her plan will be difficult to carry out.
Xia Yaoyao was conflicted, but finally she gritted her teeth and whispered into Li Yinshuang's ear.
Li Yinshuang's expression changed a lot. After listening to it, her excited heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Mom, during this time you should try to repair your relationship with Xia Mi. No matter whether she accepts it or not, just do your job. Just be patient during this time for our future."
Li Yinshuang nodded. She didn't expect her daughter to think so far ahead, nor did she expect her determination to help the Xia family be so firm.
Xia Yaoyao looked at the quilt, suppressed her anger, and put on the quilt again. -The next day, Xia Mi was half asleep and felt her lips numb. She opened her eyes and saw Huo Jingchen's face with sleepy eyes.
"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself during this time."
Xia Mi hummed and wanted to turn over and go back to sleep, but suddenly realized what the man said.
She opened her eyes and gradually regained consciousness. "I'll take you there."
"Forget about sending you off. There will be a car to pick you up later. Can you get up and have breakfast with me?" Huo Jingchen's tone was gentle.
Xia Mi blinked and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
"I'll go heat up the porridge, you clean up and come out."
Xia Mi noticed that he was wearing the same uniform he wore at his last wedding today, so it must be a very important meeting.
Just after finishing breakfast, someone knocked on the door, "Captain Huo, the car is here."
Xia Mi looked at the gray sky and said, "Five o'clock, will there be a boat so early?"
"We're going to take the army's boat, and we're required to arrive at 8 o'clock, so we have to go early." Huo Jingchen picked up his luggage, "I'm leaving."
"I'll walk you out of the yard."
Huo Jingchen raised the corners of his lips, walked up to her, held the back of her head, and pressed his soft lips against her plump forehead.
"Wait until I come back."
Xia Mi's face turned red, and she hurriedly looked at the person standing at the door, but there was no one there.
Huo Jingchen let go, picked up the bag and walked towards the jeep without looking back. The street light at the door lengthened the man's figure.
It wasn't until the car started and disappeared that Xia Mi came to her senses.
She turned off the lights and went back to her room, ready to sleep for a while before going to work, since she had already had breakfast.
"Xia Mi, you got up so early?"
Xia Yaoyao heard the sound of the door closing, walked out of the room and noticed the breakfast on the table, then found Xia Mi walking back from the direction of the front door.
Xia Mi's attitude was very cold. "Well, breakfast is in the pot in the kitchen. If you are hungry in the morning, you can heat it up yourself. I have to go to work at 7:30 and will not be home during the day."
"Work. You've only been on the island for a month and you already have a job?"
"I'm very sleepy. I'm going to go back to sleep first." After saying that, Xia Mi yawned and pushed the door open to go in.
Xia Yaoyao saw through the crack in the door that the bed inside was empty.
Seeing Xia Mi closing the door, Xia Yaoyao hurried back to her room after using the toilet.
Li Yinshuang just heard the conversation outside and woke up immediately.
She asked, "Is Xia Mi awake?"
"Well, it seems that her husband is out. She just said that she has to go to work at 7:30 in the morning. Is Captain Huo so powerful that he assigns work to people as soon as he arrives?"
Li Yinshuang snorted in annoyance, "This island is so poor, how can a job be so popular?"
Xia Yaoyao lay down, no longer sleepy, "Mom, how did Captain Huo fall for Xia Mi?"
"Xia Mi is pretty, isn't it easy to be noticed?"
Li Yinshuang's sleepiness lessened as she talked about Xia Mi. "But with his level, it's hard to find someone like him. Will his family agree to this marriage?"
"Go to sleep, and ask around tomorrow."
Xia Yaoyao still couldn't sleep.
