Chapter 298 Being Targeted While Shopping at the Mall
"You've been watching too many movies," Xia Xiong Hui bluntly exposed his daughter's embarrassment.
Xia Yue increasingly felt that her father was really hiding something from her.
She suddenly remembered that when she was very young, an uncle dressed in black would occasionally come to visit her father.
Although the man was mysterious, his eyes held a righteous air, and he seemed like a good person.
When he discovers she's eavesdropping, he'll give her a piece of candy and smile as he asks her to keep the secret.
"Dad, are you...?"
"No, don't overthink it." Xia Xiong Hui interrupted Xia Yue, his face stern as he quickly threatened, "Give me the Y3 solution immediately once it's ready, or don't blame me for disregarding our father-daughter relationship!"
Xia Xiong Hui appeared calm, but his palms were sweating and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
He didn't want to do this, but he had no choice.
Looking at her father's expression, Xia Yue's suspicions were further confirmed.
The father's true identity is definitely questionable.
However, since he was unwilling to talk about it, Xia Yue did not force him.
He only said one word, "Okay."
Xia Xiong Hui was finally relieved to receive an affirmative answer.
He got up, walked to the window in the study, opened it, and estimated the distance he would have to jump.
This is the second floor, which shouldn't be a problem for someone who is agile.
"Aren't you going through the main entrance?" Xia Yue asked.
"With your grandmother like that, if I go downstairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk," Xia Xiong Hui explained helplessly.
Xia Yue had no choice but to let him leave.
Not long after, Madam Xia brought some snacks to the study.
The old lady was somewhat disappointed when she didn't see her son.
"Where is your father?" Old Madam Xia asked.
He said he had something to do and left first.
"this……"
"If he wants to leave, let him leave. You can't keep someone who wants to leave." Xia Yue was very open-minded about this.
The old lady sighed softly, looking disappointed. "Our family has finally reunited, and he won't even eat a meal. He wasn't like this before; he would listen to whatever I said."
Now he's like a robot, devoid of emotion.
Xia Yue lowered her head slightly, agreeing with the old lady's point of view.
She remembers that when she was little, her father cared about her a lot and often told her fairy tales.
After he disappeared, no news came back, so she mistakenly thought he had died long ago.
How could someone suddenly become so heartless, abandoning their elderly parents and young children?
Was he hypnotized, or did he take the wrong medication?
Xia Yue vaguely felt that she had touched upon the truth.
But it's like a tangled mess that she can't untangle for the time being.
At this moment, Madam Xia said, "From this point of view, you and your father are actually very similar. Your personality has also changed a lot since you came back."
Although he was still very good to his friends and family, it was a different story with Qin Yeting.
He was hypnotized and manipulated by his mother back then, so why can't you forgive him?
Xia Yue was able to remain rational when talking about her father.
When he mentioned himself, he clearly became flustered.
She herself couldn't understand why her feelings for Qin Yeting had suddenly disappeared.
"Grandma, stop talking about this. You should take your medicine today so your leg will heal faster."
As for me, I still need to go treat my master, so I'll take my leave first.
Xia Yue made an excuse to leave.
Grandma Xia sighed softly. She only hoped that her granddaughter could be happy, healthy, and safe.
Perhaps it's time for her to step in and help ease the tension between her granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
Madam Xia narrowed her eyes slightly and began to think seriously.
-
One day.
After Xia Yue finished her master's daily treatment, she came to the garden for some fresh air and realized that she hadn't been out for a long time.
It's already autumn, the sun is shining, and it's neither too hot nor too cold—perfect for going out for a walk.
Pregnant women also need to exercise regularly.
It just so happens that her clothing size needs to be changed; she could buy some maternity clothes, or even baby clothes.
Shopping alone is boring.
Xia Yue called Bai Yan, but unfortunately Bai Yan was recently "occupied" by Mo Xiao and had almost no free time.
Every time Xia Yue spoke more than a few words to Bai Yan, she would be threatened by Mo Xiao.
Sometimes, Xia Yue even began to suspect that this wasn't the Xia family home, but rather Mo Xiao's pirate ship.
Otherwise, how could this person dare to be so arrogant!
With no other option, Xia Yue had to go shopping by herself.
However, for safety reasons, she brought six bodyguards to protect her secretly.
Qin Yeting has informants in the Xia family, and the biggest informant is Old Madam Xia.
The old lady told Qin Yeting that Xia Yue was going out, urging him to seize the opportunity to rekindle their old relationship.
However, Qin Yeting has been quite busy lately, spending most of his time at the Qin Group and only returning to the Xia family in the evenings.
However, upon hearing Madam Xia's words, he immediately put aside the 5 billion yuan cooperation, postponed the meeting, and went to find his wife!
At this moment, Xia Yue was strolling around the mall and bought some affordable everyday clothes.
Although she is not short of money, she grew up in the mountains and does not like to buy expensive luxury clothes.
She felt that as long as the clothes were comfortable, there was no need to buy top-tier brands.
However, it was precisely because the bags she was carrying contained only inexpensive items that Xia Yue faced discrimination after browsing the high-end goods section.
She took a fancy to a white silk dress; the dress was loose-fitting and suitable as maternity wear.
But before her hand could even touch the skirt, a harsh voice reminded her...
"Please don't touch these clothes, sir. They're very expensive. You can't afford to pay for them if you get them dirty."
