Only after she had some free time did Xia Anyan have a chance to properly look around the room.
You wouldn't know unless you looked closely. After seeing it, Xia Anyan realized just how many ingenious touches were in this room.
If she hadn't looked closely, she probably wouldn't have noticed that the floorboards were pieced together. Inside, there was a wooden box containing banknotes and some valuable jewelry.
Most of them were taken from her by Xia Anhua before.
Then look at the few green plants by the bed.
There was a thin layer of soil covering it, and then there were several small iron boxes.
There was a savings book inside, containing a total of 13,000 yuan.
Oh!
Over the years, the original owner's total savings never exceeded ten thousand yuan, but she, on the other hand, received over a thousand yuan in allowance every month and still managed to save up so much money.
That damn Xia Zhengyuan!
After searching this place, Xia Anyan went to Xia Zhengyuan and Zhou Xiuning's room.
Their room appeared to be empty, but after everything was moved out, they discovered that, apart from the floor and flowerpots, there was a hole in the wall containing countless calligraphy and paintings by famous people, as well as a large gold brick.
This gold brick must weigh at least ten kilograms; I have no idea how those two bastards got it.
Take it all! Don't leave them anything!
Pooh!
"Mom, when are we leaving? I can't take it anymore, I want Xia Anyan dead!" Xia Anhua's vicious voice rang out.
She tried to lower her voice, but Xia Anyan had excellent hearing.
She stood on the second-floor railing and overheard the entire scheme being plotted by the mother and daughter downstairs.
“My dear daughter, just bear with it a little longer. Your father has already asked someone to buy tickets. But as you know, the situation is not good lately, there are many people who want to buy tickets, and they are not easy to get.”
"Also, all our family's assets need to be gathered up and taken with us. We can't leave them behind and let that little bitch benefit from them. Now, your father has made the arrangements, and everything will be finished tomorrow. After loading them onto the ship, we won't need to guard against her anymore, and she'll be useless!"
Zhou Xiuning's voice was colder, and her expression more ferocious.
She had already thought through all her plans, but she had overlooked Xia Anyan.
She narrowed her eyes, an idea forming in her mind.
But now, there are more important things to do.
...
There was a fire in the kitchen, I don't know how it started.
Xia Zhengyuan dismissed all the servants in the house, and apart from the mother and her two children, there was no one else in the house.
The house was full of wood, which burned very quickly. Zhou Xiuning and Xia Anhua were horrified when they saw this.
"Ah—fire!"
They wanted to go upstairs to get their things, at least their money and tickets, and absolutely not let them be burned.
But the fire seemed to have eyes, and it started burning right in the middle of the stairs.
"Don't go to the painting studio. Let's leave first."
Zhou Xiuning pulled her daughter and walked outside.
Xia Anhua was very reluctant to part with her things: "Mom, all my things are in my room, so many of my jewelry and clothes!"
"Your dad has transferred all the assets away. If the family's belongings are gone, that's fine. Your life is more important, so hurry up and leave!"
At this moment, Zhou Xiuning had no time to care about Xia Anyan's life or death.
If that bitch can die in this fire, then she's lucky!
As soon as the person left, Xia Anyan came out from around the corner, her eyes filled with disdain: "Coward!"
After she finished cursing, she waved her hand and took everything away from the living room, even the floorboards, which she forcefully moved into the space.
Apart from this empty shell of a house, everything here, without exception, became her property.
"Miss, are you inside?" Driver Lao Li's voice rang out from the doorway.
Xia Anyan paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on her lips.
This Uncle Li is actually a nice person.
In the book, his ending wasn't good; he was killed by Xia Anhua.
She got into trouble with a thug, and Uncle Li was hacked to death with an axe while trying to protect her.
In this family, Old Li is probably the only one who cares about her.
After smearing some ash on her face and messing up her hair, Xia Anyan started running outside, crying as she ran.
"Dad, sob sob sob, I don't want to die, I promise I'll be good and go to the countryside obediently, I promise I won't make you angry again, please don't let me die here, please don't..."
Outside the door, a large crowd of onlookers had already gathered.
Everyone wanted to help put out the fire, but Xia Anyan's words shocked them all.
Watching plays is human nature, regardless of gender.
What Xia Anyan said gave everyone some food for thought.
Zhou Xiuning and Xia Anhua's faces darkened upon hearing this.
"Sister, how could you say such a thing? Mom and I called you for a long time, but you didn't respond. We thought you had gone out. We didn't mean to not call you!"
"Also, Dad wants you to go to the countryside to protect you and doesn't want you to get hurt, but you actually think Dad wants to harm you. If Dad knew, how heartbroken he would be?"
Xia Anhua spoke while crying, which made many people feel extremely sorry for her.
Yes, everyone knows the eldest daughter of the Xia family.
Normally, he is arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women.
Looking at the entire Xia family, there is no one who can control her.
Maybe she started this fire!
"Xiaoyan, I'm glad you're alright. I know you're not happy with the arrangements your father and I made. If you really don't want to go to the countryside, then our family can stay together."
"Don't worry, if one day our family is sent to the countryside, I will definitely take good care of you and never let you suffer any grievances!" Zhou Xiuning also stepped forward to put on an act.
This mother and daughter, in order to salvage their reputations through acting, have completely abandoned their houses.
Under everyone's gaze, she lowered her head: "Whatever Aunt Zhou and my sister say goes. After all, in your eyes, I'm used to being domineering, and everything I say is a lie. Heh, I don't care anymore."
“I’ve already given you the job, and I’ve already submitted my name for the rural assignment. Now my house has been burned down, and all my belongings are still inside. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. Just consider this as me looking for trouble.”
After Xia Anyan finished speaking, she staggered out.
As she walked away, the neighbors hesitated.
I'm torn between believing and not believing.
Old Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Madam, I'll go check on Miss first, otherwise I won't be able to explain when the master comes back."
The only car that remained in the house was also taken away by Lao Li.
Zhou Xiuning and Xia Anhua stood in front of the burned-down Western-style building, completely dumbfounded.
no……
The most important thing now is to get them to a safe place, isn't it?
What does it matter if Xia Anyan lives or dies? She's going to die sooner or later anyway!
