At this time, Xia Linan didn't know that his advertisement had been launched nationwide.

If she knew that she was not only famous but also had a fan club, she would probably be very happy.

After all, she had no confidence at all when she agreed to this matter. Now that she has achieved some results, at least she won't have to let the Fu family suffer losses.

At this time, in a detached villa in the neighboring city, an old man was watching the news on TV. He impatiently pressed the remote control and turned off the TV.

A woman walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fresh fruit, looked at the old man in the living room, shook her head slightly, sighed, and then walked over.

"Shixun, the doctor said that you can't get angry easily and you have to stay in a good mood." The woman advised patiently.

Xia Shixun suppressed his anger and said, "Look, what does the newspaper say about her? Is this how she lives when she lives alone?!"

"Maybe there's something else going on. Look, the news that clarifies the matter has come out."

"So what? It's just that kid from the Fu family's trick! It's the Xia family who lost face!"

Xia Shixun's cane hit the floor so hard that the servants in the living room couldn't help but tremble.

Xia Shixun had a hot temper and acted arbitrarily. No one could stand him, except his first wife Zhou Linlang.

Zhou Linlang sighed, "Alas, I haven't thought about it so much. As long as my daughter is happy, that's enough. She has been gone for so many years, and I don't even know if she is fatter or thinner now... She is our only precious daughter..."

When Zhou Linlang thought of this, she couldn't help but blame Xia Shixun.

If Xia Shixun had not insisted that Xia Lin'an marry his adopted son Xia Yansi, such a thing would not have happened later.

When Xia Shixun thought of what happened that year, his face became even uglier. He blamed himself in his heart, but still insisted on his opinion and refused to give in.

"She is happy with Yan Si!"

"Why are you so stubborn...you..." Zhou Linlang couldn't help but protest against Xia Shixun's statement.

The whole time he was talking about that kid from the Fu family, that kid. In Zhou Linlang's opinion, the Fu family couldn't afford to marry into their family.

At this time, the servant came in and reported: "Master, Madam, Miss and Master are back."

Zhou Linlang stood up immediately and asked in surprise, "Did they come back together?"

"Yes, it's outside." The servant nodded.

Xia Shixun paused, looked outside, and then looked back.

"Old thing." Zhou Linlang rolled her eyes and cursed. She looked down on Xia Shixun's pretentious attitude of wanting to see him but not wanting to.

"You..." Xia Shixun's eyes widened, and he tried hard to hold back his temper.

Zhou Linlang, who loved her daughter dearly, no longer looked at Xia Shixun's expression and hurried out of the house.

Xia Shixun sat in the living room, tapping his crutches with his fingers, feeling extremely flustered. This was the first time Xia Linan had returned home after running away from home for so many years, and he felt a little nervous and expectant.

Xia Linan got off the car and saw that the scenery in front of her didn't seem to have changed much from five years ago. She felt a little complicated.

The past five years seem to have become a dream. Things have changed and everything has come to an end.

Xia Yansi stood behind Xia Linan, looking at the woman in front of him with complicated eyes. Everything had changed.

"An An..." A voice came from the house, getting closer and closer.

Xia Lin'an looked over in the direction of the voice, his eyes wavered, and the next moment, Zhou Linlang's figure appeared in front of the house.

Zhou Linlang recognized her daughter at a glance and hurried over, saying as she walked, "My daughter..." As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes.

Xia Linan took a few steps forward, walked over, and was hugged by Zhou Linlang.

"Mom..." Xia Lin'an shouted.

Zhou Linlang: "You have such a cruel heart... You haven't come home in five years..." However, even though she blamed him, she couldn't bear to do it in her heart.

"I'm sorry, I'm an unfilial daughter..." Xia Lin'an's eyes were red and she couldn't help choking with sobs.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Zhou Linlang let go of Xia Linan, looked at Xia Linan carefully, and nodded.

"Mom." Xia Yansi called out at the right time.

Zhou Linlang looked past Xia Linan and saw the man standing behind her. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then she regained her composure and nodded: "I'm back."

Zhou Linlang really didn’t know that Xia Yansi had returned.

She couldn't help but wonder if that old fox Xia Shixun had colluded with Xia Yansi.

Although Zhou Linlang did not support Xia Shixun's approach, she treated her adopted son Xia Yansi as her own son and had no prejudice against him because of Xia Linan.

"Come in." Zhou Linlang said to the two of them.

Xia Linan walked into the house and saw the old man sitting in the living room. Her face suddenly turned bad. She had not yet forgotten why she was suddenly brought home, so she was in a bad mood.

Zhou Linlang noticed Xia Linan's mood change and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Xia Linan pursed his lips and called out to the man on the sofa, "Dad."

Xia Shixun paused and cleared his throat as a response.

Zhou Linlang despised Xia Shixun's stubbornness and her willingness to suffer. She said to Xia Linan, "Go upstairs first, change your clothes, and rest for a while. Dinner will start soon."

Xia Linan nodded, took a step, and suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Zhou Linlang: "Mom, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I want to talk to you."

Zhou Linlang couldn't bear to refuse, so she followed him upstairs and said as she walked, "Okay, let's go back to the room and talk."

Xia Shixun snorted. Don’t think he doesn’t know Xia Linan’s tricks.

Xia Yansi walked up to Xia Shixun and called out, "Dad."

"Yeah, I'm back." Xia Shixun nodded in response.

He raised his eyes to look at his adopted son and asked, "Were you not discovered when you came back?"

Xia Shixun meant to ask whether Xia Linan had been discovered by Fu Yiming when he returned.

Xia Shixun originally wanted to have Xia Linan taken away directly, but last night Xia Shixun suddenly called him and reported that Xia Linan was fine and they had even met.

That's why Xia Shixun came up with a plan to let Xia Yansi and Xia Linan come back together.

After Xia Yansi knew about Xia Shixun's plan, he was not very happy at first because he didn't want to force Xia Linan, but he was finally persuaded by Xia Shixun.

Xia Yansi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then replied, "No before, but I'm not sure about the future."

Xia Shixun snorted, not taking Fu Yiming seriously at all, and said, "Even if she knows, so what? My daughter can marry whoever she wants, and she will never marry someone from the Fu family."

"Don't worry, now that you're back, just get things done right away so I can put my mind at ease sooner. You don't have to go to New York anymore, just stay in your own company." Xia Shixun looked up and said to Xia Yansi.
