Xia Chenghai gritted his teeth. At this moment, he really hated Xia Yunxi for being ungrateful. It was as if she was deliberately doing this to make him look bad, especially in front of Li Hanting.
Xia Chenghai hardened his heart. He looked at his daughter who was obviously not close to him and even seemed to be deliberately making fun of him. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed. When did their father-daughter relationship reach this point?
But no matter how disappointed he was, the important thing was still business. Since Xia Yunxi didn't feel ashamed, there was no need for him to save face.
Let Li Hanting hear it too. He was sued by his own daughter and was forced to appear in court tomorrow.
Such a thing happened to him, Xia Chenghai... and the person in front of him was his daughter.
"It's like this, I received it..." Xia Chenghai was about to say it all at once, but Li Hanting suddenly stood up over there. He didn't want to interrupt Xia Chenghai, but his momentum was impossible to ignore.
He said to Xia Yunxi in a calm, almost indifferent tone, "You guys chat first, I'll go upstairs to do something."
He turned and walked directly towards the stairs.
Although he was interrupted, Xia Chenghai was obviously relieved.
He was determined to do it, but with that person sitting next to him, he couldn't move his hands and feet freely.
After Li Hanting disappeared above the stairs, Xia Chenghai happily tidied himself up and said to Xia Yunxi, "Yunxi, Dad knows you blame me, but you really shouldn't have taken our family affairs to court. Do you know what the consequences of doing that will be?"
Xia Yunxi's mouth corners slowly rose, and she said how could Xia Chenghai be so calm, he really put down all his clothes and came to discuss the father-daughter relationship with her.
It turned out that he was waiting for her here!
She wanted to laugh, but she didn't laugh out loud. Instead, she said sarcastically, "Why, are you scared?"
Xia Chenghai frowned. "How dare you talk to me like that? I'm still your father. You're taking our family matter to court. Do you think you can be happy just because I'm in trouble? Do you know where you are now? This is the Li family. Do you know what the Li family is?"
"So what about the Li family? At least outsiders can know the truth." Xia Yunxi said lightly.
"But have you ever thought about how others will look at you? How will the Li family look at you? I don't believe that a person who can be so ruthless as his own father, the Li family, will let you in and let you teach the two princes." Xia Chenghai tried his best to suppress his anger, but there was still a hint of malice in his voice.
Xia Yunxi's brows, which had been gentle and non-aggressive, knitted slightly. She stared at Xia Chenghai in front of her, "You came here just to tell me this?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly laughed: "So you are scared?"
Xia Chenghai was so angry that his chest hurt. He wanted to slam the table and roar loudly. Would he be afraid of his daughter's threat?
It's simply ridiculous.
He just didn't want to make things too ugly. Whether it was the Li family behind it or the online public opinion, he didn't want to spread anything that was unfavorable to the Xia Company.
But seeing Xia Yunxi's stubborn defiance, Xia Chenghai gritted his teeth and asked, "What exactly do you want? In order to revoke the court summons?"
So, this touched my father's sore spot.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so patient today. He even suppressed his temper and spoke to her in a slow tone.
Xia Yunxi really wanted to laugh, thinking back to how her father had neglected her in the past, and how he had allowed others to frame and hurt her...
Let it be...
It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel any resentment. It took time for her to feel heartbroken. If he had shown a little concern for her at the beginning, perhaps she wouldn't have been so disappointed.
So, being cold and indifferent does not mean that you are really so heartless and disregard family ties.
If she wanted to avoid getting hurt, she couldn't attack her own father and cause chaos in the whole family.
See, she is actually quite kind. Since she can't fight back, the only thing she can do is avoid it.
Stay away from it!
Xia Yunxi lowered her head, a faint smile on her lips that hadn't faded since she came out. "You're still too naive. Do you think I have the ability to revoke the court summons today, even though the trial is tomorrow?"
Xia Chenghai choked. Just because she was incapable didn't mean the Li family was incapable.
Ultimately, Xia Yunxi was simply unwilling to take action. She just wanted to see him, her father, embarrassed and made a fool of himself in court.
Without even looking, Xia Yunxi knew what Xia Chenghai was thinking. "Don't worry about it. Instead of coming to me like this, why not think about it? You didn't do anything, did you? Or were you the one who spread those rumors online?"
"Of course not." Xia Chenghai denied without even thinking.
Xia Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then what are you afraid of?"
Xia Chenghai still hasn't reacted yet. From the time he entered the door until now, Xia Yunxi had never called him "Dad" in the few words he spoke.
Not noticing was one thing, and there was another point that Xia Chenghai didn't care about.
But that’s not what I mean. If you’re not afraid, then you should just go obediently when the court summons you?
Looking around, any company involved in a trial will suffer reputational damage.
Even the chairman behind the scenes will be affected, which is something Xia Chenghai does not want to see.
"Yun Xi, how long has it been since you went home? I know what you mean. If you've done nothing wrong, you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. But have you ever thought about how your family company will be affected? Although the Xia Group can't compare to the Li family, can you really bear to watch the business your father worked so hard to build be destroyed in an instant?"
Xia Yunxi sneered, "You're overthinking it. How could something you haven't done be affected? And ruined in an instant... Or do you actually know the truth?"
Xia Chenghai opened his mouth. The truth? What truth?
He had already said so much, but Xia Yunxi still avoided the topic and obviously changed the subject. What... is she really so independent now that she doesn't even recognize him as her father?
Xia Chenghai was very angry and wanted to continue pestering her, but Xia Yunxi had already lost her patience.
She stood up immediately, her calm eyes shone with coldness: "I have said everything I need to say. Believe it or not, I can't make the court listen to me."
