"What's up?"
Xia Yunxi only replied once, and Xia Chenghai's tone suddenly became very bad. "What's your attitude? Don't you know what's going on outside?"
Xia Yunxi didn't want to be too involved with Xia Chenghai. Their father-daughter relationship had been severed five years ago.
She herself still held out hope for that blood connection, which was why she was pushed into the abyss by them again and again without mercy.
But not anymore.
"I remember I seemed to have said that we would not contact each other anymore."
"Xia Yunxi, no matter what, I am your father." Whenever Xia Chenghai spoke to Xia Yunxi, his head felt buzzing.
"Do you think so?" Xia Yunxi asked in a very light tone without any emotion.
"You," Xia Chenghai was choked.
She was probably taking a deep breath over there, and after a long while she spoke again: "What have the rumors outside become? Haven't you seen? And now you're still angry with me, Yunxi? How did I raise you to be like this? Shameless and shameless."
At that moment, Xia Yunxi suddenly wanted to hang up the phone. She didn't think that she and Xia Chenghai had anything else to say.
Xia Yunxi would never forget that they were her family, yet they did everything to her, kidnapping, drugging, and sending her to someone else's bed... Xia Yunxi took a deep breath: "Mr. Xia, you and I have severed our father-daughter relationship. Please don't call me again. No matter what rumors spread outside, don't worry, they won't reach you, Mr. Xia."
"Xia Yunxi, so what even if we cut off our relationship? You still have the blood of my Xia family in you. You can't deny that you were raised by me, Xia Chenghai." The voice on the phone was almost yelling.
"So what do you want?"
"You are in the Li family now, right? Go find Li Hanting and ask him to help you suppress the public opinion. Also, after all, you gave birth to the prince of the Li family. Ask him to give you a legitimate status. Now that the child is born, you must marry into the Li family."
Xia Yunxi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at the bleak and gloomy weather outside, a sarcastic smile slowly rising from the corner of her mouth.
"You need to look at your current situation clearly. Those two children have been adopted by the Li family? What about you? You have raised the children to this age, what have you gained? Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work, Yunxi, you are not alone. Whether you recognize me as your father or not, I am still your father. Our Xia family is also your backing. You should have a good talk with President Li. Now that the children are born, you have to do what needs to be done." Xia Chenghai persuaded earnestly. In order to say these words to Xia Yunxi, he did not sleep much the whole night before.
After thinking about it all night, according to the current situation, although there are overwhelming rumors outside, as long as the Li family and Li Hanting are there, those public opinions really can't do anything to Xia Yunxi.
Not to mention the impact on people like them.
Seeing that it didn't affect his own interests, Xia Chenghai began to plan other things. Who would dislike his extensive network of contacts? Who would dislike the fact that he had a big tree to lean on for shade? With the help of such a large enterprise, Xia Chenghai felt that he could not only make the company better, but also earn more this year.
No one would feel bad about money.
So even though Xia Yunxi was so angry that he was jumping up and down, Xia Chenghai still tried his best to control his emotions, calm himself down and persuade her step by step.
"What?"
Even though he was trying to comfort himself, Xia Chenghai couldn't control his temper when he heard the cold female voice on the phone. "What are you going to do? What are you going to do? You slept with someone for nothing and you don't have to take responsibility? I'm telling you, Yun Xi, the opportunity is right in front of you. You must take down Li Hanting for me. Do you know how much that boy's family is worth? Do you know how much property he has under his name?"
"Yunxi, Daddy is doing this for your own good. If you can enter the Li family, not only will you have endless wealth to enjoy, but your family members will also benefit from it. You know that Daddy's company has not been doing well in recent years. I tell you, as long as the Li Group helps, Daddy will definitely be able to make a name for himself in Jiangcheng."
"Is this your purpose?" After saying so much, all the words he said were nothing more than asking her to get close to the Li family so that Xia Chenghai could gain benefits for himself.
"Dad, this is the last time I'll call you 'Dad.' Not everyone is like you, selfish and self-centered, prioritizing profit. I'm actually quite thankful that Bai Fangzhen schemed me to leave the Xia family without hesitation. In your eyes, a daughter's role is only to help you find a smooth path, right? But I'm not Xia Wei, nor am I you, someone who can completely ingrain that cold-bloodedness."
Xia Yunxi didn't give the other party a chance to refute, "I won't do what you said, and don't call me anymore. The Li family is not something you can think about!"
"Xia Yunxi, you rebellious..."
Before Xia Chenghai could finish his furious words, Xia Yunxi hung up the phone.
She stood there without moving, watching quietly as the cold wind outside shook the branches gently, and the snow on them slowly fell.
The snow this year seems to be falling particularly hard.
A year of auspicious snow and good harvest should be a good omen for the coming year.
Li Hanting did not return to the Imperial Palace, and Xia Yunxi did not go out again. She entrusted all matters to her lawyer, the person introduced by Li Hanting. She still had some trust in this.
By the afternoon, public opinion had shifted from accusations of murder to malicious revenge.
I don’t know if Xia Wei revealed it on purpose, but the internet actually dug up what happened between her and Zhao Rui.
As a result, the drama of sisters fighting for a husband has become more and more speculative, and more and more media outlets are getting involved in the matter.
In the face of such public opinion attacks, Xia Yunxi could only control herself and try not to look at her mobile phone or any device that could connect to the outside world.
During this period, many people called her, including Nancy, An Lan, several familiar colleagues, and her senior brother.
But when the eldest brother called her, he hesitated, as if he had something to say, but he didn't say it in the end.
He just told her not to go out. Since the matter had been entrusted to a lawyer, he would be in charge of it and she didn't have to worry.
Xia Yunxi actually understood what the senior brother meant. If she had seen the press release and deleted it when it was first released, or if she had used other means to contain it, the situation might not have developed so rapidly.
But no one expected that the other party would choose the timing so well?
The Li family had just recognized the two twins and announced Xia Yunxi's identity, and messages were flying everywhere the next day.
