Yan Qingsi was a legitimate lady of the Xia family. No matter what she did, the blood that coursed through her veins still belonged to the Xia family’s lineage. The same could not be said for Xia Rushuang, even if she carried the Xia family’s name. An adopted child can never be compared to their biological child. Nothing would ever change this fact.
Hence, she had no qualifications to teach Yan Qingsi the way she should behave.
Mrs.You’s hands trembled while holding onto the bowl. She bit her lips with her head lowered and said, “Brother Lan, I…never implied anything. I might have assumed wrongly. I’m sorry, I will not mention this again. I’m sorry, I…won’t bother you anymore. I’ll head over to the hospital and deliver food to Uncle.”
Mrs. You closed the door with her head down.
Tears were welling up in Mrs. You’s eyes as she stood outside the door. No matter how hard she tried or no matter what she did, she would always be an outsider to the Xia family.
She went downstairs after wiping away her tears and packed some things before heading to the hospital.
…
At this moment, Yan Qingsi was answering a call from Yue Tingfeng.
The sky had turned dark as she stood by the window staring out at the unfamiliar surroundings. The smile on her face was like a blooming flower as she listened to Yue Tingfeng’s voice.
Yan Qingsi said, “You hung up on me today. You hung up before I even manage to say a few words. What do you want now?”
Yue Tingfeng frantically explained, “I was honestly in a hurry. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even dare nor be willing to hang up on you, Qingsi. Where are you at right now, Qingsi?”
Yue Tingfeng had already made his way over to Rong City however, he did not blindly look around the city. He first checked into a hotel he owned. The Yue family happened to own hotel chains in every major city within the country. It had a very simple name—Shanqiu Hotel. Combining both words Shan and Qiu would spell out as Yue.
He had probed into the Xia family. However, he never expected that Grandpa and Grandma Xia who was living in Rong City would be so low profile that he barely found any information on them.
After calming down and finally reaching his limit, he proceeded to call Yan Qingsi.
Yan Qingsi replied, “I’m with the Xia family.”
“Where is the Xia family staying?”
“Xia family is staying in Rong City.”
“What I meant was the exact street and position of their home.”
Yan Qingsi pouted. “How would I know? I just arrived here today. Even if you knew, it’s still pointless since you can’t come over anyway.”
“I can…” Yue Tingfeng’s voice sounded very confident. “You tell me and I will come over right now. I’ll be taking you away.”
Yan Qingsi was stunned. “Are you…serious?”
“Yes, I’m already in Rong City.”
Yang Qingsi could not hold herself back and began laughing aloud. She could not believe that he really came. She had briefly thought about the possibility when he hung up on her earlier. However, there was no further news from him so she did not take it seriously. She never expected that he really came to Rong City.
“Qingsi, send me your location and I’ll come over immediately. I want to see you now.”
That thorn which was stuck at her throat from the suffocating dinner earlier had finally gone down. She turned around and leaned against the windows. She was beaming but she still said, “You better come over tomorrow morning instead.”
Yue Tingfeng frantically asked, “Why? Don’t…you want me anymore?”
“It would be inappropriate for you to come over at such a late hour. Besides, I’m not alone. My uncle is at home. He…You should know who he is, he’s Xia Anlan! You can’t meet him unprepared. It’s the first time you are meeting my relative, you can’t be so rashly. You should buy a gift and formally visit him tomorrow. Otherwise, how are you going to leave a good impression on him? Do…you…still wanna marry me?”
