Cui Ziqi did not go home all night.
The system did not provide any notification that Cui Ziqi had turned evil and harmed Zheng Minghuai.
Xia Wan, however, did not sleep well all night.
The next morning, she had just closed her eyes when the doorbell rang, striking her eardrums like a piercing sound wave.
Xia Wan's morning grumpiness suddenly surfaced.
She opened the door and looked at Xia Zhizhi outside with an unfriendly gaze. "It's only seven o'clock."
She gritted her teeth and reminded him, afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would be unable to resist biting Xia Zhizhi to death.
Xia Zhizhi showed no remorse. "Sister, Dad wants us to go over early this morning. Hurry up and get ready. Minghuai and I will be waiting for you downstairs."
When did Zheng Minghuai return?
"Sister, it's good that you care about Cui Shao, don't focus your attention on other people's men."
Xia Wan was rarely speechless.
While washing up in her room, Xia Wan sent a message to Cui Ziqi saying that she was going back to the Xia family home and that he should call her in advance if he was coming back.
Cui Ziqi has read the message but is not replying.
Xia Wan reluctantly put down her phone.
...
The Xia family.
As soon as the three entered, Xia Huaidong greeted Zheng Minghuai first, and then kindly pulled Xia Zhizhi aside to ask her a few questions.
The family of three was enjoying a happy time together, making Xia Wan, standing to the side, look like an outsider.
Of course, she is indeed an outsider.
Xia Huaidong didn't greet her, so she sat down on the sofa to the side, lazily crossed her legs, and watched the family's happy scene with great interest.
Xia Huaidong's face darkened when he saw Xia Wan sit down like a lord.
"You come back and don't even greet people? Where's your manners?"
“My surname is Xia. I’ve lived in this villa for over twenty years. Where do you think my manners are?”
Before Xia Huaidong could say anything more, Xia Wan spoke up impatiently.
"Don't give me that airs, just say what you need to say."
Xia Huaidong's face darkened even more, and his hair seemed to stand on end in anger.
Xia Zhizhi frowned and looked at Xia Wan, "Sister, apologize to Dad!"
Her voice was cold and hard, carrying an invisible sense of oppression.
Xia Wan raised an eyebrow. Had the innocent little flower finally shown some backbone?
Unfortunately, she won't apologize.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Don't contact me again unless it's absolutely necessary. I have nothing to do with you guys."
She got up to leave.
Xia Zhizhi's expression turned very unpleasant, and a hint of humiliation flashed across her face.
From childhood to adulthood, Xia Wan has always been arrogant and domineering. Even now, with someone else holding her incriminating evidence, she remains aloof and refuses to even apologize.
The more I look at it, the more annoying it becomes!
"Stop!" Xia Zhizhi walked up to Xia Wan and warned in a low voice, "Sister, aren't you afraid I'll confess to Young Master Cui?"
Xia Wan's smile remained unchanged: "Do you really think I came to the Xia family because you threatened me?"
She was completely indifferent, saying, "If you want to say it, then go ahead and say it."
Xia Zhizhi had never met anyone more shameless than Xia Wan. Seeing Xia Wan's nonchalant attitude, she bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
The two spoke in low voices, and neither Xia Huaidong nor Zheng Minghuai heard them.
Xia Zhizhi was seen bowing her head in front of Xia Wan, while Xia Wan looked arrogant and haughty.
Zheng Minghuai subconsciously thought that Xia Wan was bullying Xia Zhizhi again.
With a stern face, he stepped forward and pulled Xia Zhizhi behind him, staring at Xia Wan with hostility.
"Zhizhi is my fiancée now. If you want to bully her, you'd better think twice about your position."
Xia Wan's gaze swept across his face indifferently, as if passing through thin air.
His warnings, or rather, his character, were completely ignored.
Zheng Minghuai's handsome face was incredibly gloomy, his gaze almost surging as he tried to find even a hint of regret on Xia Wan's face, but all his efforts were in vain.
"Xia Wan!"
"Spit it out! I don't have time to waste on you!"
Xia Wan was already simmering with anger, and being deliberately made things difficult time time and time again had made her lose patience.
Seeing that she was angry, Zheng Minghuai felt inexplicably better.
He knew that this woman wouldn't be so calm after seeing how much he protected Xia Zhizhi.
Xia Huaidong stepped forward to reprimand Xia Wan, but was stopped by Zheng Minghuai.
He stood in front of Xia Wan with his hands in his pockets, his tall and upright figure blending into the lavishly decorated living room, making him appear even more aristocratic.
Do you know Sanmen Wharf?
So that's what it was about.
"I don't know," she said nonchalantly.
Zheng Minghuai carefully observed Xia Wan's expression, and seeing that she seemed genuinely unaware, he began to explain.
"The person in charge of Sanmen Wharf is Cui Ziqi, but now, a batch of prohibited items has been found at Sanmen Wharf."
Xia Wan frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
Zheng Minghuai saw a hint of worry flash in her eyes and felt inexplicably annoyed.
“The police have intervened. Cui Ziqi, as the legal person responsible for Sanmen Wharf, has been taken away for questioning. If you continue to be with him, you will definitely be implicated.”
Xia Wan lowered her eyes, looking very worried, but her heart was very calm.
The person in charge of Sanmen Wharf now is not Cui Ziqi.
If Cui Ziqi really went to the police station voluntarily, perhaps he has other plans. It's better for her not to let Zheng Minghuai see through her scheme.
She looked up, her eyes already glistening with tears, as if she were truly at a loss because of worry for Cui Ziqi.
She glared at Zheng Minghuai fiercely, said nothing, and turned to run towards the door.
"Xia Wan!"
Zheng Minghuai chased after her and grabbed her wrist.
"where did you go?"
The moment Zheng Minghuai touched her, Xia Wan's eyes filled with disgust. "Let go of me!"
