"Oh, Uncle, you should go now. I'm already at Aunt Tao's house. What are you worried about? I'll talk to Aunt Tao myself. You should go back, go back!" Xia Ke could tell at a glance that her uncle wasn't welcome, so she quickly took the suitcase from him.
I can't let my uncle get me prevented from entering the house.
Xia Wenjing felt sorry for Xia Ke and couldn't say anything, so he handed the box to Xia Ke.
"I'm leaving the child in your care. Call me if anything happens. I'm heading to the guesthouse," Xia Wenjing said to Tao Ying before turning and getting into his car.
Tao Ying wasn't given a chance to speak at all, and there wasn't a single word she wanted to hear anyway.
Tao Ying was as annoying as ever.
"Aunt Tao, you can't not welcome me because of my uncle," Xia Ke quickly said.
"Why did you come over without saying hello?" Tao Ying couldn't possibly be angry with Xia Ke.
"Aunt Tao, I really wanted to call you, but my uncle happened to be here and insisted on bringing it over, so I came here." Xia Ke said pitifully, her head down.
"You applied to this university, so why did your mother agree to let you study here?" Tao Ying asked softly, looking at her child's pitiful expression.
"Aunt Tao, let me tell you quietly, my mom is really annoyed with my uncle now. My mom agreed to me coming here to study at university, but she just wants me to stay away from my uncle," Xia Ke whispered.
"Huh?" Tao Ying looked at Xia Ke in surprise.
When she was kidnapped, although Han Yajuan and Xia Wenjing didn't seem very close, I thought it was just the uncle and aunt avoiding each other. Now it seems like they were actually disliking each other.
Han Yajuan disliked Xia Wenjing so much that she was willing to let her daughter go to school.
God knows she's a controlling mother.
How annoying is Xia Wenjing?
“Before, because of the affair between my aunt and uncle, my mom would always secretly criticize my uncle behind his back. Now that my aunt has married my uncle from the Tang family, and my uncle still acts the same way, my mom hates him even more. Also, there's the matter of my university. I still want to study law, and the political and legal university here is quite famous, so my mom agreed to let me come.”
Xia Ke didn't hide anything and told Tao Ying everything, since she would be troubling Aunt Tao a lot in the future.
As for feeling embarrassed or anything like that, none of that was within Xia Ke's consideration. This wasn't just anyone; this was her Aunt Tao, someone she had a life-or-death bond with.
"Have you had dinner yet? I'll have Chunni cook you some noodles," Tao Ying sighed.
I feel like I have some kind of magical power to attract children.
They can't even manage their own family's problems, what are they doing with all these other kids?
"Aunt Tao, I've already eaten. My uncle took me to a restaurant. Don't worry, although my uncle is a bit unreliable, he's still very good to me when it comes to food and drink," Tao Ying quickly said.
"Chunni, go and clean up the other room for Xia Ke to stay in," Tao Ying said to Wang Chunni.
Wang Chunni left with Wang Chuntao and Tao Chenyang.
"Is your uncle still hung up on Jiang Jiang?" Tao Ying asked, somewhat gossipy.
"Of course! They always said that the Tang family was only after the Jiang family's power, and that Uncle Tang wasn't sincere towards Aunt Jiang. Otherwise, how could the two of them get married so quickly, knowing that the other person liked someone else?" Xia Ke thought her uncle was really annoying.
"Is your uncle really that disgusting? He even knows that Jiang Jiang likes him? He's irresponsible, neither admitting nor rejecting her. Now that he sees Jiang Jiang is happily married, he regrets it all along. What was he doing?" Tao Ying couldn't help but complain.
"Of course! My mom even whispered that Aunt Jiang's good fortune is yet to come!" Xia Ke nodded in agreement.
"My mom also told me that when I look for a partner in the future, I must not look for someone like my uncle, but someone like Uncle Tang," Xia Ke continued.
"Your mom has taken a liking to Tang Xuan!" Tao Ying said, somewhat surprised.
"Of course it's impossible. With Uncle Tang Xiao and Aunt Jiang Jiang's situation, how could our family possibly be related to the Tang family?" Xia Ke said helplessly.
"I knew it! If that were the case, your uncle would probably go crazy." Tao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then why did your uncle bring you here, and why couldn't your parents bring you?" Tao Ying still thought Xia Wenjing was out of his mind.
"My uncle always talks to me about asking you about Aunt Jiang Jiang," Xia Ke said softly, her head down.
"Is this old man Xia crazy? Jiang Jiang is pregnant, with twins, and he's still asking her what she means? Is he regretting it?" Tao Ying broke down completely.
“I don’t know either, he might be obsessed. He keeps thinking that Aunt Jiang Jiang is just trying to make him angry.” Xia Ke also thought her uncle was sick.
For over ten years, Aunt Jiang has liked him, but he didn't appreciate it. Now that she doesn't like him anymore and has married someone else, he's still acting like this.
"I'm not going to talk to him. Xia Ke, if you want me to stay, you'll have to help me deal with your uncle." Tao Ying really didn't want to face Xia Wenjing.
This guy is such a narcissist; I feel like punching him if he says even a few words.
"Don't worry, Aunt Tao, my uncle will only be here for two days at most. I'll stick close to him and make sure he doesn't bother you," Xia Ke quickly assured her.
Tao Ying talked with Xia Ke for a while longer.
The next morning, Tao Ying had just gotten up when she saw Xia Ke leading Tao Chenyang in some kind of stretching exercise.
"What's going on?" Tao Ying asked, somewhat surprised.
“I do my morning exercise, and the little girl insisted on learning from me, saying she’d protect you when she grows up.” Xia Ke thought Tao Chenyang was incredibly cute.
"Yangyang, then study hard," Tao Ying said encouragingly.
After breakfast, the family was about to leave when a car stopped outside.
Xia Wenjing got out of the car and looked at Tao Ying. "I'll take you there."
"Grandpa, Grandma, let's ride in my uncle's car." Before Tao Ying could speak, Xia Ke said to Grandpa Wang and Zhou Daya with a big smile, while also holding Tao Chenyang.
"You guys take the car, Chun Tao and I will ride bicycles, otherwise we won't be able to get back tonight," Tao Ying said, pushing her bicycle.
"Tao Ying, I have something to ask you," Xia Wenjing said, looking at Tao Ying.
After thinking about it for more than half a year, Xia Wenjing felt more and more distressed.
How can you let go so easily after liking someone for so long?
"What do you want to ask?" Before Tao Ying could speak, a deep and reassuring voice came from behind her.
When Tao Ying looked up and saw Jiang Huan, she felt like the sky was about to fall.
What is this all about? Did Jiang Huan plant a tracking device on Xia Wenjing?
Aren't these two regimental commanders busy?
Xia Wenjing turned around and looked at Jiang Huan, who was still in his combat uniform, covered in paint and mud, his brows furrowed. "What are you doing here?"
"If you can come, why can't I!" Jiang Huan's eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze towards Xia Wenjing was filled with the ferocity of a knife.
