The Imperial Palace was located in the city center. Xia Yunxi remembered reading a news report about a villa there that was unaffordable to anyone without a fortune in the hundreds of billions. It wasn't that the developer was just trying to create hype; the news report described every aspect of the villa complex, describing it as a paradise on earth.
The luxurious conditions provided there are very comprehensive, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, given her father Xia Chenghai's status and position, Xia Yunxi didn't think they had the conditions to live in the imperial palace.
Although he was not a resident there, he blocked her with a clear purpose.
All I can say is that she was being followed since early morning!
On one side, Li Hanting sent people to monitor him, while on the other side, stepmother Xia Wei and others jointly tracked him...
Xia Yunxi's brows furrowed tightly. She wasn't afraid of anything. Even when she was being chased down five years ago, she hadn't surrendered to fate. Five years later, how could she be defeated by such terrible events?
But now, she has a weak spot - Xia Yuan!
Xia Yunxi held Xia Yuan's hand and squeezed it slightly. She would never allow those people to hurt Xia Yuan.
But in the current situation, he could only avoid it. Xia Yunxi didn't know how long he would be able to avoid it. He couldn't let Xia Yu'an never see anyone, could he?
This is unfair to Xia Yuan, and she herself will never allow it.
Xia Yunxi thought to herself, wait a little longer, wait a little longer...
Whether it's moving to another place or something else, she won't allow anything to happen to Xia Yuan!
——
That night.
The whole city was shrouded in bright neon lights.
Xia family villa.
As soon as Xia Chenghai entered the door, he felt something was wrong. The servants were silent, and there were faint sobbing sounds coming from the living room.
Xia Chenghai handed the keys and bag to the servant, changed his shoes and walked towards the living room.
Bai Fangzhen sobbed softly, and Xia Wei was anxious beside her, but it was of no use.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xia Chenghai walked over and saw his wife crying breathlessly. Suddenly, he stepped forward and hugged her distressedly, "What's wrong? What happened? Tell me quickly."
Xia Wei wanted to speak but stopped herself, but seeing her mother's red and swollen eyes from crying, she couldn't help but speak: "Dad, Mom and I met my sister today."
"It's her again. She's the one who made your mother cry?" Xia Chenghai's attitude turned annoyed when he heard Xia Yunxi's name. "What did she say?"
Xia Chenghai asked while comforting Bai Fangzhen in a soft voice.
Bai Fangzhen raised her head with tears in her eyes. "Old Xia, don't listen to Weiwei's nonsense. Nothing happened..."
"Mom, my sister's words are so harsh. You can tolerate it, but I can't. She..." Xia Wei seemed to be really angry and was about to say it out loud.
"Xia Wei." Bai Fangzhen scolded her.
"Let her talk," Xia Chenghai interrupted Bai Fangzhen. As long as it was about that unruly son, this family had never been at peace.
"I kindly invited my sister to my engagement party, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even hit me and threatened to call the police! She said her current situation was all my fault and she wanted to call the police and have them conduct a thorough investigation into our family."
With every word Xia Wei said, Xia Chenghai's face darkened.
Finally, his face turned pale, and he stood up and shouted angrily, "You're rebelling against her. Is it her turn to call the shots in this family? Tell me where she is? This rebellious son..."
"Old Xia, don't be angry. The child doesn't understand." Bai Fangzhen comforted him at the right time, softly admonishing him while adding subtly, "As adults, we shouldn't argue with children. Besides, Weiwei and Zhao Rui's wedding is coming soon. Let's not create any complications and upset the children."
"Mom, you can't let you suffer this kind of injustice because of me..." Xia Wei was unhappy, stomped her feet and said angrily.
Bai Fangzhen deliberately gave her a look, which made Xia Wei shut up successfully.
The mother and daughter performed a duet, but in Xia Chenghai's eyes, he was so angry at his rebellious son that he had to endure and tolerate him.
Xia Chenghai hugged Bai Fangzhen and Xia Wei, mother and daughter, and had already made up his mind that it was time to talk to that rebellious girl.
…
It's late at night.
Xia Yunxi came out of the shower and went to Xia Yuan's bedroom.
Help him with his homework.
There was only one bedside lamp on in the dim room. The little guy was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had bare legs. He was lying on the bed, playing with his mobile phone seriously and attentively.
As she walked over while wiping her hair, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the word "Chenchen" on her phone.
Xia Yunxi paused in wiping her hair and suddenly asked, "Is he Jinchen?"
Xia Yu'an was startled and turned around, "Mommy, are you silent when you walk?"
"You're just too focused." Putting down the towel, Xia Yunxi pulled out his homework book and glanced at it casually: "Have you finished your homework?"
Xia Yu'an didn't answer. He used his hands and feet to crawl to the bed and said carefully, "Mommy, aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Xia Yunxi said in a light tone.
Xia Yuan scratched his head, thinking about what his mommy said to him last time. Mommy probably didn't want him to get involved with Daddy's people and things!
It’s just Li Jinchen…
Xia Yuan secretly looked at Xia Yunxi's expression again to determine whether she was angry or not.
After Xia Yunxi finished checking and closed the book, she raised her eyes and said, "Mommy didn't stop you from contacting your brother, it's just..."
"I know, but I can't let my dad, whom I've never met, know about this." Xia Yuan quickly raised his hand to answer.
Xia Yunxi was silent for a moment. She rubbed his head and told him, "Go to bed early."
Then he got up and left the children's room.
After Xia Yunxi left, Xia Yuan cheered silently, then picked up his phone and continued chatting with Li Jinchen.
Xia Yuan noticed that his brother seemed unhappy tonight.
Invincible Cat: You are unhappy tonight. Did someone bully you?
Chenchen: ...
The Invincible Cat in the Universe: Damn, someone is really bullying me?
Invincible Cat: Who is it? Tell me and I will help you get revenge.
Chenchen: How to report?
Xia Yuan supported his chin and thought seriously for a while, then looked at the door of the room, his eyes rolled around, and his chubby little hands quickly typed a string of words.
Invincible Cat: Okay, wait for me near your school tomorrow morning and I’ll come find you.
Chenchen: ...Okay!
…
Li Jinchen had just replied with one word when the door was pushed open.
Almost subconsciously, Li Jinchen immediately hid his phone behind him and looked towards the door with a pair of confused eyes.
This scene happened to appear in the eyes of the man who just walked in.
His expression remained cold and hard as he walked over, glanced at the time on his wrist, and said inconspicuously, "It's time. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Almost." In front of Li Hanting, Li Jinchen didn't dare to make a fuss and answered obediently.
The man narrowed his eyes and held out his hand.
Li Jinchen looked at him, then at the hand stretched out in front of him. After several seconds, he reluctantly handed over the phone.
