Chapter 6 Unexpected
Inside the main room, Song's parents, Song Hechao, Xia's parents, Xia Baijiao, and Xia Yu were all present.
Everyone looked at Xia Fanxing with different expressions, but they all believed that she was the thief who stole the Song family's treasure.
Seeing that Xia Fanxing did not move, Song's father suppressed his anger and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xia's father, saying, "Brother Xia, this matter is of great importance and time is of the essence. You cannot be reluctant to take action just because she is your daughter."
Seeing Xia Fanxing's aloof and indifferent demeanor infuriated her father. He ordered the servant to fetch the family discipline whip, continuing to mutter curses under his breath.
Song Hechao took a deep breath and forced a smile as he advised, "Fanxing, there must be some misunderstanding between us. I originally planned to wait until you calmed down before explaining things, but I didn't expect you to do something like this. It's not too late for you to turn back now. Our family can pretend that nothing happened."
Xia Fanxing said calmly, "Young Master Song, I've already made everything clear yesterday. If you insist on bothering me, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Song Hechao choked, and subconsciously touched his face, which was not yet fully healed.
He hadn't expected that Xia Fanxing's attitude would remain so resolute and indifferent even after a night.
How could she just let go of such a long-standing relationship like that?
Xia Yu snorted, "What right does she have to be angry? The engagement wasn't even hers to begin with. The person who should marry He Chao is my sister, not her! It's already a great blessing that she can continue to be with He Chao, but instead of cherishing it, she even colluded with outsiders to empty the Song family's coffers. She's a traitor!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Fanxing strode up to Xia Yu, grabbed his collar, and slapped him twice.
Perhaps it was because she drank the spiritual spring water from the space, but Xia Fanxing felt more energetic today than yesterday, and she slapped Xia Yu so hard that his mouth bled.
Xia's mother was heartbroken and pulled Xia Yu to examine him carefully.
Mr. Xia was so angry he went berserk. "This is outrageous! Where are the family rules? Why haven't they been brought yet!"
Xia Yu glared fiercely at Xia Fanxing, who said expressionlessly, "I'll beat you up every time I have a foul mouth."
Xia Baijiao stood in front of Xia Yu and said softly, "Sister Fanxing, I believe you wouldn't steal. Were you deceived? In any case, our two families are already in the same boat. Calm down and return the Song family's property."
At this moment, the servant finally brought out the family discipline whip.
Xia's father angrily grabbed the whip and tried to whip Xia Fanxing, but she snatched it away and threw it to the ground.
She looked at Mr. and Mrs. Xia, "You keep saying you still treat me like your own daughter, but when this happened, you didn't even ask me a single question before condemning me. If you really cared about me, you would know what time I came home yesterday, and you would have noticed that my clothes were different yesterday and today!"
She looked at Mr. and Mrs. Song, "I did go to the Song family yesterday afternoon to talk to you about something. But my grandparents actually thought I was going to steal something and even tried to hit me. I was really disappointed and heartbroken, so I left right away. You can ask them if you don't believe me!"
Xia Fanxing wiped away non-existent tears and slammed the four breakfasts onto the ground.
"Is the Song family's wealth really that small? If I really colluded with outsiders to steal, I would at least need to hire several trucks to transport it. Are all the people in Haicheng stupid? Such a huge operation, and no one saw it or talked about it? Do you think I can silence everyone? I believed what you said yesterday; bringing you breakfast is worse than feeding the dogs!"
Xia Fanxing covered her eyes with her arms, pretended to cry, and ran away, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
In fact, Song's father had already figured out at home that it was impossible for Xia Fanxing to have stolen the family property.
The reason he seized on Xia Fanxing's "not returning home all night" was because his family's assets had been emptied and he had no money to buy a boat ticket. He could only try to stay with the Xia family and make them bail out the Song family.
Unexpectedly, Xia Fanxing didn't just stay out all night; her family simply didn't know she was home.
That's awkward.
"This girl, she's just at home, why didn't she just explain? Why did she have to make such a fuss?" Mr. Xia said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.
The reason he was so anxious and angry, and even wanted to resort to family discipline, was that he didn't want to provide any support for the Song family.
Now that it was clear that Xia Fanxing had nothing to do with it, his attitude softened and he felt relieved.
The two families began discussing who might have stolen the treasure.
Xia Baijiao secretly touched the black stone around her neck, her heart filled with doubt and unease.
Based on what Song's father said, she suspected that Xia Fanxing used the spatial ability to empty the Song family's assets.
But Black Stone is still in her hands!
A year ago, Xia Baijiao, who lived in a rural village, suddenly became able to see bullet comments.
The comments section said she was the female supporting character in this world, a contrast to the female lead.
This ordinary black stone is an unopened magical space. It can only be activated and bound with the blood of the female protagonist, Xia Fanxing, after she becomes pregnant, and it must be worn in order to be used.
Xia Baijiao had always known about things she couldn't see through the bullet comments, but last month the bullet comments suddenly disappeared and never reappeared.
So, like everyone else, she only found out about Xia Fanxing's pregnancy yesterday and didn't have time to draw blood.
Now that this has happened, she decided to quickly bind the space to prevent any unforeseen complications.
After the discussion between the two families ended, Xia Baijiao prepared to go back to her room to change her clothes before going out, but Song Hechao pulled her to a corner.
"Jiaojiao, please put in a good word for us with your parents these past few days and ask them to pay for our boat tickets. Although our family's assets were stolen and we are short of money for the time being, we still have connections. So many people are eyeing these boat tickets. If we want to be eligible to buy them, we still need to rely on our family; otherwise, we won't be able to buy them even if we have the money."
Xia Baijiao nodded, her voice soft and obedient: "Don't worry, you're my future husband, and my parents will definitely help you. I believe that with your abilities, you'll achieve great things in Hong Kong. Don't be discouraged by these little difficulties."
Song Hechao was deeply moved upon hearing this and hugged Xia Baijiao tightly, refusing to let go.
Xia Baijiao continued to comfort her gently.
Previous comments said that Song Hechao was the male lead, and that he would become a rising star in the Hong Kong entertainment circle after arriving in Hong Kong, achieving great success in both career and power.
Now that the Song family has been robbed, it is the perfect opportunity for Xia Baijiao to show her loyalty and stand by Song Hechao through thick and thin. How could she possibly abandon Song Hechao?

At 10:30 a.m., Xia Baijiao brought a well-known tailor from the city to knock on Xia Fanxing's door.
She said they had misunderstood Xia Fanxing that morning, so they came to apologize and asked the tailor to make some new clothes for Xia Fanxing.
Unable to refuse, Xia Fanxing asked the tailor to take her measurements and ordered the servants to prepare tea.
The tailor brought a whole set of equipment. While taking Xia Fanxing's measurements, Xia Baijiao pretended to casually play with the sharp scissors, but in reality, she was looking for an opportunity to make Xia Fanxing bleed.
As the tailor was about to finish taking measurements, Xia Baijiao hid the scissors behind her back and walked over.
"Sister Fanxing has such a great figure, so voluptuous and full-figured, unlike me, who is too thin and doesn't look good."
While praising her, she secretly took out a pair of scissors, intending to stab Xia Fanxing's arm "accidentally".
But as soon as she took out the scissors, Xia Fanxing caught a glimpse of her movements and the tip of the knife. In a panic, she tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground.
Bright red blood seeped from her pants. Xia Fanxing turned pale, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
Just then, a maid came in with tea. Upon seeing the scene, her hand trembled, and the teacup shattered on the floor. She screamed and ran out to find someone to save Xia Fanxing.
