The butler nodded respectfully and walked up to Xia Yunxi. "Miss Xia, the master asked you to wait a moment. He will go with you to see the young master off."
Xia Yunxi was slightly surprised. Li Hanting was with her?
She lowered her head to look at Xia Yuan, who immediately waved his hand and shook his head, indicating that it was not his request.
Mommy had already told him to take Jinchen to school first and then pick him up. He was asking Daddy to take him, which was clearly a sign of trouble. If this got out of hand, he wouldn't be able to handle Mommy's wrath.
Xia Yunan now understands!
After all, Xia Yu'an was raised by herself, and Xia Yunxi knew his ambitions better than anyone else.
She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Please tell Mr. Li that I won't be using it today. I'll go and see Jinchen off by myself."
"This... was instructed by the master." The butler hesitated.
Xia Yunxi glanced at Xia Yu'an who was standing obediently beside her legs and said, "It's okay. Mr. Li is very busy. I'll go first today."
The butler had no right to make a decision. Just when he didn't know what to say, he heard the man's calm but unquestionable voice behind him.
"Why, Miss Xia, don't you know your own identity and want to put the cart before the horse?"
Li Hanting came over after finishing the call and heard these words.
I don't know how those words sounded to my ears, but they always had a sense of irony.
Are you blaming him for neglecting the children because he is busy with work?
Sure enough, the next moment, the woman said fearlessly, "Mr. Li, what do you mean by putting the cart before the horse? As Jinchen's father, you should fulfill your responsibilities as a father, instead of just remembering to make amends when you're in a good mood."
"What did you say?" Li Hanting narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Isn't it?" Xia Yunxi raised her chin, her clear eyes meeting his. "There are many ways to make amends to the child. Please don't deliberately show off in front of me, Mr. Li."
Li Hanting was so angry that he laughed. As a father, did he need to show off in front of her?
Who does she think she is?
He thought so in his heart, but his excellent qualities prevented Li Hanting from saying it out loud.
"Miss Xia, did you misunderstand something?"
The gentle tone clearly carried a hint of anger.
Xia Yunxi was completely unaware: "What misunderstanding? Mr. Li is busy, so just do what you need to do. I'm going to see Jinchen off."
After saying that, Xia Yunxi didn't give them a chance to react. She took Xia Yu'an's hand and walked straight towards her car.
After the car door was opened, Xia Yuan got in obediently, and the man behind him didn't move.
Xia Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought, I didn't say anything harsh just now, right? It was just that my attitude was a little disrespectful to the other person.
Xia Yunxi secretly stuck out her tongue, hurried to the driver's seat, opened the door and got in.
Start the car and leave.
Looking at the man outside the window with a clearly gloomy expression, Xia Yunxi realized belatedly that she had taken a very risky risk just now.
She deliberately misinterpreted the man's meaning with words, not for any other reason but because she didn't want to get entangled and asked him to send Xia Yuan off.
If Li Hanting is really allowed to send the child off, that would be disastrous. He would be exposed in minutes, okay?
——
Wait for the black second-hand Mercedes to disappear from your sight.
Li Hanting's gloomy brows furrowed slightly. He put one hand on his waist, casting away his cold and resolute aura. He looked as if he had fallen into the mortal world and was so angry that he jumped up and down. The housekeeper standing beside him suddenly had the illusion that the young master was also an ordinary person.
Perhaps the butler's gaze was too direct, Li Hanting's cold eyes suddenly shot over.
The butler lowered his head and said, "Sir, I'll get your car keys right away!"
Li Hanting: “…”
Very good, you really take yourself seriously, don’t you?
…
At this time, the Mercedes was driving steadily on the road.
In the car, Xia Yuan told Xia Yunxi everything he had experienced in the past few days.
When she heard that Li Hanting had directly replaced the school teachers, she was still a little surprised: "You said that even the principal was replaced?"
"Yes, Uncle Qin said that. Mommy, I think Daddy is really awesome. It's just that brother Jinchen doesn't know how to speak up, otherwise Daddy would have avenged him long ago." Xia Yuan was chattering in the back of the car, his tone unable to conceal his excitement.
Xia Yunxi had no choice but to correct him: "He is the elder brother, and you are the younger brother."
"No, Jinchen is obviously my younger brother. Look, he also needs my protection." Xia Yuan raised his little arms to show his little muscles.
He was the one who beat up the fat kids who bullied Jinchen at school so badly that their parents didn't recognize them.
Xia Yunxi rolled her eyes and was too lazy to say anything.
After learning about the situation and thinking about what Li Jinchen had experienced in school, his heart suddenly ached. Although Li Hanting had revoked his position as a teacher in the school, the harm Jinchen had suffered and the shadow it had left on the child's heart would take time to heal.
After Xia Yuan was sent to Qihui Kindergarten, the two children were officially recognized and their identities were restored.
Xia Yunxi's heart was finally at peace.
When I came out of school, the phone in my bag suddenly rang.
Xia Yunxi picked it up and looked at it, her calm expression flashed slightly. She remembered this number, even though he had only called her once.
After answering the call, Xia Yunxi did not speak immediately.
Xia Chenghai's gentle, emotionless voice came from the other end: "Do you know what day it is on Wednesday?"
What day?
Xia Yunxi thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember anything.
Her lack of response made Xia Chenghai even more furious: "Xia Yunxi, your sister's engagement party. Your mom and your sister specially sent you the invitation, and you actually forgot?"
Xia Yunxin's frown immediately relaxed. She was still wondering why her father would think of calling her?
It turned out to be because of that mother and daughter.
Xia Yunxi thought of something, her long eyelashes covering the expression in her eyes, "I know."
After responding to this, Xia Yunxi hung up the phone.
Looking at the desktop that her phone returned to, Xia Yunxi thought of the last time the mother and daughter followed her to the Imperial Palace. She had said at the time that she would prepare a generous gift for Xia Wei, and she would not go back on her word.
The mother and daughter took advantage of her leaving the Xia family and continued to ruin her reputation, making her too embarrassed to go back.
Although there was nothing in that home worth returning to, Xia Yunxi was not so tolerant of the fact that it was being publicized as a shame, and comforted herself by pretending that nothing had happened.
…
Soon it’s Wednesday!
After finishing the work at hand, Xia Yunxi hurried back to the apartment, opened the wardrobe, and took out the dress she had prepared early in the morning.
It doesn't need to be fancy, just attend that kind of occasion and give face.
After packing up, Xia Yunxi did not drive, but directly called a taxi to go to the hotel reserved by the Zhao family.
Arrived at the place and walked in.
There were crowds of guests, holding champagne in their hands, chatting and laughing with each other.
Xia Yunxi didn't have many friends, so she just looked around and planned to find a corner to curl up and eat something to fill her stomach.
