After closing the door, the friendly smile on Guan Zherui's face slowly disappeared.
She rolled her eyes and said to Xia Jianing who walked into the living room with a little dissatisfaction: "Jia Ning, you are so grown up, why are you still running away from home? Do you know how angry your father is? Although I am not your biological mother, I still have to say something to you, you are too ignorant!"
After that, she looked Xia Jianing up and down again, and seeing that she was dirty all over, she said with some displeasure: "How did you get so dirty? Although your father has a monthly water fee subsidy from the government, he can't afford to be so wasteful."
"Your brother is still young and needs to take a bath every day. The water consumption and expenses at home are high. Even if you can't help the family, don't add to the burden!"
In the past, Xia Jianing would have had a big fight with Guan Zherui, but now Xia Jianing had no energy to deal with her.
After having a near-death experience at the Long Island Hotel, Xia Jianing finally returned home. She felt as if she had just dreamed. She just wanted to lie down quietly alone for a while.
Xia Jianing walked back to her room without saying a word, locked the door, and lay down on the floor. In the most familiar and safest environment, she could finally close her eyes with peace of mind.

After sending Xia Jianing off, seeing that it was getting late, Xia Shige and the other two hurriedly drove home.
On the way back, Xia Huiyin sighed: "I didn't expect that such a big change would happen to their family in such a short period of time. The last time I saw Wu Min was when she went to the hot weather. I didn't expect that she would leave like this..."
In the face of natural disasters, human life is too fragile. Xia Huiyin knows that many people lose their lives every day for various reasons, but now that such a thing has happened to someone she knows, she still feels uncomfortable.
Xia Guocheng continued, "Yes, come to think of it, the last time we saw Wu Min was in July or August, right? From the time she left until now, it has only been an hour at most. It takes Xia Guokang ten months for his new wife to have a child. So, it seems that he married a new wife right after Wu Min died..."
Xia Guokang was able to sit in his current position, more or less thanks to the connections of Wu Min's father.
But unexpectedly, Xia Guokang remarried so quickly just after Wu Min's death. It is very likely that the two of them had an affair when Wu Min was still alive!
Thinking of this, Xia Guocheng's face darkened, and he looked down upon Xia Guokang even more.
Xia Huiyin remembered that Guan Zherui had just said that Xia Guokang accompanied his son to the hospital, and she couldn't help but frown.
If their son got any serious illness, Guan Zherui, as a mother, would definitely not feel at ease leaving him at home and would definitely go to the hospital with him.
Since Guan Zherui did not go to the hospital with the child, it means that the child’s illness is not serious and should be just a minor illness.
This is the second natural disaster. The prices in private hospitals are sky-high. Even a minor illness is rushed to the hospital, which shows how much Xia Guokang dotes on his youngest son.
Recalling Guan Zherui's attitude towards Xia Jianing just now, Xia Huiyin sighed and said, "Ah, they say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. I didn't expect that Xia Guokang didn't go to pick up Jianing after such a thing happened. I saw the attitude of Xia Guokang's new wife when she spoke to Jianing just now. Jianing's situation will not be very good in the future..."
Xia Guocheng also nodded, expressing his deep agreement.
He thought, Xia Guokang could rush to marry a new wife when Wu Min's body was still lying in the ground, so how could he possibly care about Xia Jianing's feelings?
Although they felt a little sorry for Xia Jianing, they also knew that everyone has their own destiny. They never cared about Xia Guokang's family affairs, and they could not help Xia Jianing with her affairs.
In addition, it is a time of natural disasters now, and they don't want to meddle in other people's affairs.
Xia Shige lay sideways in the back seat, squinting his eyes and listening to the conversation between his mother and uncle in a daze, without saying a word.
She had spent the entire afternoon in a tense and exciting atmosphere. Now that she was out of danger, the quiet and harmonious atmosphere in the car made her feel drowsy. She could hardly hold on and felt her eyelids were fighting.
Just when she was half asleep and half awake, a familiar reminder sound suddenly came from her mind -
[The peach blossom value increases by 20, and the peach blossom value is now 42. ]
Xia Shige was startled and suddenly opened his eyes!
After not moving for a long time, my peach blossom value suddenly increased by 20 points!
Xia Shige suppressed his excitement! He kept thinking: Why did the peach blossom value increase this time?
Did Qi help the police deal with Zhao Huifeng's group for himself? Or did Qi rescue Xia Jianing for himself?
Xia Shige wasn't sure, but she felt more and more that her adventure at Long Island Hotel was useless!
Not only did she get two pistols and solve the problem of Zhao Huifeng, her enemy from her previous life, but she also increased her peach blossom value!
It’s like killing three birds with one stone!
Xia Shige was so happy that she wasn't even sleepy anymore. She decided to eat an extra bowl of rice at dinner!

At the same time, in a dark alley behind the Hanhai Hotel.
