Zuo Cheng stood guard at the door.
As Xia Wan left, Zuo Cheng turned around and greeted her.
"sister in law."
"Zuo Cheng, take me to see Cui Jiyang."
Cui Ziqi's biological father.
She has to go and pay her a visit.
Zuo Cheng frowned in embarrassment. "Sister-in-law, you should tell Brother Qi."
Without Cui Ziqi's orders, he dared not take Xia Wan to see Cui Jiyang on his own.
“He’s asleep and won’t get up anytime soon. If you’re not going to take me, just tell me where Cui Jiyang is and I’ll go find him myself.”
Xia Wan stood with her hands behind her back, looking completely indifferent.
"Asleep?" Zuo Cheng exclaimed in shock. "What did you do to Brother Qi?"
At this critical juncture, Cui Ziqi is unlikely to be asleep.
Unless Xia Wan did something to him.
He tried to enter, but Xia Wan stopped him.
"Don't worry, I just gave him some sleeping pills so he can get a good night's sleep."
"Or do you really want him to go on stage with such a serious injury?"
Zuo Cheng stood frozen in place, looking at the woman in front of him for the first time.
How did you know?
The Cui family did a very good job of keeping the underground boxing match a secret.
Cui Ziqi deliberately didn't take Xia Wan on the cruise ship because he didn't want her to get involved in these matters.
But this woman not only came up herself, she also knew about the underground boxing match.
Who exactly is she?
Zuo Cheng's gaze shifted from doubt to wariness.
"How I know this is none of your concern. Just have a few skilled brothers guard Cui Ziqi's door and make sure no one takes him away or disturbs him."
"Then, tell me where Cui Jiyang is."
Xia Wan's clear, glassy eyes were free of any impurities, giving her an air of utmost sincerity.
Zuo Cheng considered for a long time before asking.
"what are you up to?"
"Of course we'll tell him that Cui Ziqi is too injured to go on stage, and ask him to find someone else."
Will he agree?
"Of course not, that's why I went to negotiate with him."
Zuo Cheng remained silent for a long time.
Xia Wan didn't urge him. She stood quietly to the side, a smile on her lips, looking confident and determined.
Zuo Cheng finally relented.
"Okay, I'll take you to him. I hope you really want to help Brother Qi."
Not for any other reason than the injuries on Cui Ziqi's body.
If Cui Ziqi were to fight in underground boxing matches with those injuries, he would surely risk most of his life on stage tonight.
Although Zuo Cheng didn't completely trust Xia Wan, he was willing to take a gamble.
Xia Wan nodded.
Zuo Cheng was extremely loyal to Cui Ziqi. Although the book does not describe in detail how the two met, Zuo Cheng ultimately gave his life for Cui Ziqi.
This is enough to show that Zuo Cheng is one of Cui Ziqi's few relatives in this world.
Since she is Cui Ziqi's family, she will help her in the future.
At least when she left, there were enough people who loved Cui Ziqi by her side.
Let's go.
She walked ahead, and Zuo Cheng glanced at the doorway before following her.
As the current head of the Cui family, Cui Jiyang holds an undeniable position both within the family and in upper-class circles.
The piercing horn blared for a long time.
The ship set sail steadily.
Zuo Cheng led Xia Wan to Cui Jiyang, who was talking to someone on the deck.
He was dressed in a well-fitting black suit and had his hair styled. Although his face showed signs of aging, judging from his overall features, he must have been a handsome man in his youth.
At this moment, Cui Jiyang was speaking with a dignified demeanor to another well-dressed middle-aged man.
As the two approached, they could hear the middle-aged man praising Cui Jiyang.
"Mr. Cui is truly learned and virtuous. No wonder even a mere illegitimate child can receive your favor in the Cui family. Compared to you, I am ashamed of myself."
Cui Jiyang lowered his eyes and gave a helpless chuckle.
"What illegitimate children? They are all my children."
When Zuo Cheng, who was in the know, heard Cui Jiyang's hypocritical words, a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Xia Wan was even more direct, bursting out laughing.
"Mr. Cui, were you born with two mouths? One that speaks human language, and the other that speaks ghost language?"
Zuo Cheng gasped, but couldn't help giving Xia Wan a thumbs up in his heart!
Cui Jiyang frowned and turned his head.
Xia Wanzheng had already walked to their table.
The sea breeze, carrying a light dampness, caressed her clear cheeks, causing her white skirt to sway in the wind. Sunlight streamed down from above, casting a golden outline on her figure.
Zuo Cheng stood next to Xia Wan and nodded emotionlessly to Cui Jiyang as a greeting.
"Little girl, who are you?"
Cui Jiyang looked at Xia Wan, his voice still calm and steady.
He seemed not to have taken Xia Wan's words to heart.
Xia Wan didn't answer him, but turned to the middle-aged man next to her, "Uncle, may I have a word with Mr. Cui alone?"
The middle-aged man paused for a second, then hurriedly stood up, bid farewell to Cui Jiyang, and turned to leave.
Xia Wan then pulled over another chair and sat down opposite Cui Jiyang without any hesitation.
"Mr. Cui, let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Wan, and I am Cui Ziqi's future wife."
She smiled.
Cui Jiyang frowned.
"Xia Wan? You're Xia Huaidong's daughter?"
Looking across the entire Lincheng, the only prominent family with the surname Xia is the marginal family of Xia Huaidong.
Xia Wan shook her head, "It's not like that now. I've severed my father-son relationship with him."
"After all, if a father does not love his son, the son will also be unfilial."
Cui Jiyang, who was being questioned again, had a slight change in expression.
But forcing himself to maintain good manners, he said calmly, "Miss Xia, is there anything I can help you with?"
