When Xia Wenxi was woken up by the sound of her phone, she was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to remember where she was.
Because she hadn't answered the video call, the other party had already hung up. Just as Xia Wenxi was about to pick up her phone to see who had called, her phone rang again.
Looking at the word "Mommy" on the screen, Xia Wenxi hesitated whether she should answer the phone. After all, she was no longer the original owner of this body, and getting along with the original owner's parents made her feel uneasy.
But Xia Wenxi quickly remembered what the original owner had told her before, that she should be nicer to her parents. With that in mind, Xia Wenxi answered the video call.
"Are you still sleeping, baby?"
Xia Wenxi, who had never experienced maternal love since childhood, felt her eyes well up with tears upon hearing such gentle words.
Xia Wenxi didn't know what the original owner's personality was like in front of her parents, and she didn't dare to fully show her true self, so she could only pretend to be sleepy and nod, "I just woke up, Mom."
"Xia Hengyuan! I knew Xiaobao would still be sleeping at this hour, why did you insist I make you call?!"
Xia Wenxi held up her phone and saw the gentle and beautiful woman on the screen suddenly shout loudly to the side, and then another face came close to the screen.
It's a face that looks a lot like "Brother," but the difference is that from the first moment he saw "Brother," he had an angry look on his face, while the middle-aged man in front of the screen was smiling with his eyes narrowed.
"I'm sorry, Xiaobao, Daddy disturbed your sleep."
At this moment, Xia Wenxi didn't quite understand the original owner. With such good parents, what did it matter if her brother didn't like her?
"It's okay, Dad."
“Your dad said he had a nightmare last night, dreaming that you were being bullied, which is why he called you in such a hurry.”
"Yes, yes, I'm relieved that Xiaobao is alright. You can go back to sleep now. Dad and Mom will be back in a few days, and we've brought Xiaobao a gift."
"Okay, sure."
Fearing she would expose herself, Xia Wenxi didn't dare say much, but just as the video call was about to end, she was called back.
"Wait a minute, Xiaobao... What's this? Show Mommy your room. Where do you live?"
Having no other choice, Xia Wenxi said, "Mom, I'm at the hotel. I went out to play yesterday."
"At the hotel? No wonder the background looked off. Aunt Li told me you went to stay at Wen Sheng's place. What happened? Did Wen Sheng bully you again?"
"No..." Xia Wenxi wanted to deny it, but then she thought that it might not fit the original owner's character, so she said in a coquettish tone, "That's right, Mom, I don't want to live with my brother anymore. Mom, can you send the driver to pick me up and take me home?"
There's nothing she can do; she can't even go home on her own now.
"Alright, alright, Lao Xia, quickly call the driver at home." After instructing her husband, Ke Shurong turned back and, seeing the state of the hotel, said with heartache:
"Is Xiaobao short of money? If he's staying in a hotel, he should at least stay in a nicer one."
Hearing this, Xia Wenxi was speechless for a moment. She had gritted her teeth and only decided to book this hotel last night. The difference between people is indeed greater than that between people and pigs.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, Mom. I'm going to wash up now."
"Okay, the driver will pick you up in half an hour, Xiaobao. When you get home, tell Aunt Li what you want to eat and she will make it for you."
"Okay, okay."
After hanging up the video call, Xia's parents started discussing things.
"Honey, do you think Xiao Bao is acting a little strange today?"
"Yes, it's definitely because of a fight with Wensheng. He's unhappy, so I have to call him and give him a piece of my mind."
Ke Shurong pulled him back, "You just start cursing people without knowing what's going on. Is this how a father should act? People online have said that when children don't get along, it's mostly because the elders are immoral. The bad relationship between Da Bao and Xiao Bao is all your fault as their father."
"Hey! Why are you bringing me up now? You're implying I'm immoral. Don't you know why Wensheng and Xiaobao don't get along? Is there any way to resolve this?"
Ke Shurong also became worried. Her daughter liked her son, which was not a good thing to say. More importantly, she and her husband had originally thought that if the two children had feelings for each other, they would simply let them be together. After all, they were not blood-related siblings, and it was not impossible for them to be together.
The problem is that the son absolutely refuses to agree. When it comes to relationships, you can't force a cow to drink water. Since they couldn't persuade the son, they could only try to persuade the daughter. Over the past two years, Xia Hengyuan and Ke Shurong have introduced their daughter to all kinds of boys and girls, but their daughter just wouldn't be happy.
"well!"
Now the couple both sighed.
——
After washing up and packing her things, Xia Wenxi went downstairs to check out of the hotel. Then, she waited at the hotel entrance with her luggage, making sure her family's driver couldn't see her, so she deliberately stood in a very conspicuous spot.
After standing there for about ten minutes, I saw a black Lincoln parked in front of the hotel, and then a middle-aged man in a suit and white gloves got out of the driver's seat.
Isn't she exactly the kind of driver a rich family would look like? Even if you've never been a rich girl, you've at least seen some short dramas. But Xia Wenxi stood still, and rich girls naturally wait for their drivers to come and get their luggage.
Then she saw the white-gloved man walk to the back door and open it.
Oh, it wasn't like that after all...
Xia Wenxi glanced at it listlessly, then was stunned by the people getting off the car.
"You live in a place like this, Madam?"
Xia Wenxi looked at the other person's furrowed brows and followed his gaze to look up at the place where she had only stayed for one night.
This is pretty good... She used to never be able to stay in a place like this when she went on business trips, so why are they all complaining about it?
"Reporting to young master, our men said that the last time they saw Madam was here."
"Have someone buy this place."
!!
What could you possibly buy? Xia Wenxi was shocked once again, then realized that this was Fan City, and buying a hotel or two was indeed a normal thing.
Isn't this scene exactly like a classic "the innocent girl tries to escape, but the domineering CEO relentlessly pursues her" scenario?
"Miss, the master sent me to pick you up and take you home."
Hearing this, Xia Wenxi looked around and thought, "Another one. This hotel is quite lively." Then she saw yet another man in white gloves standing in front of her.
"Miss?"
Oh! This time, the female lead is actually myself!
"Okay, let's go."
Xia Wenxi tried her best to appear noble and aloof, straightening her back and walking towards another car. The driver quickly followed, pushing his luggage.
— Half an hour later
"Miss, we've arrived."
Looking at the "manor" in front of her, Xia Wenxi once again voiced her doubts.
What on earth made the young lady so upset that she wanted to leave this home?
