Chapter 28 - The mystery of the fiancé and the family turmoil

"Sorry... I was really wrong." Xia Huaiwu's voice was full of sincere regret. His words were not only out of blind trust in Xia Liuli, but also to defend his stubborn position. Xia Huaiwu is a paranoid person. Once he determines something, he hopes that the whole world can reach a consensus with him. He was once nicknamed "the master of refutation", and Xia Liuli, because she never argued with him, became his "confidant". However, at this moment, Xia Huaiwu couldn't help but reflect that this way of getting along seemed to have some problems. "Before you were willful and reckless, your father and I could still take it for you, but now it's different. You have to change your temper." Mrs. Xia's words were a bit harsh. Xia Huaiwu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "You are right..." "Your eldest brother is still running around for your father's affairs..." Xia Huaiwu's voice was not finished, and a severe headache came, and he was almost suffocated by guilt. "I was wrong, Mom." He cried out in pain. Mrs. Xia ignored him and held Xia Zhuozhu's hand instead: "You have been wronged today. You didn't even have time to eat, and you have to face such an enemy. And your fifth brother is not here at this time..." Xia Zhuozhu shook her head gently: "I am not wronged." Her eyes were full of determination, as if to say that these difficulties were nothing. Mrs. Xia became more and more angry, and her breathing became rapid. Seeing this, Xia Zhuozhu hurriedly pressed the tiger's mouth acupoint for her: "Mom, don't be angry, your health is important." Xia Huaiwu was also anxious: "Yes, don't get angry... I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't jump to conclusions without finding out the truth of the matter." He blushed and panted and said: "Mom, I really hope you can believe me, I will change, and I will definitely use my brain more in the future." Xia Huaiwu's face was full of guilt and regret. He continued, "This is all my fault. I will listen to you in the future! Also, Seventh Sister, I am sorry for this! Hit me!" Xia Zhuozhuo's back trembled slightly. This was the first time Xia Huaiwu called her "Seventh Sister", and this name made her feel both strange and intimate. "Hit you? Forget it." Xia Zhuozhuo smiled faintly. She didn't have the habit of hitting people. As long as Xia Huaiwu was no longer as impulsive and brainless as today, she would be satisfied. Xia Huaiwu lowered his head again: "I'm sorry..." "Go back and reflect on it!" Mrs. Xia's tone was a bit determined, "This time, I hope you are really reflecting on it." "Yes!" Xia Huaiwu nodded heavily. He vaguely realized that Xia Liuli might not be as good as he imagined, and Xia Zhuozhuo was not as bad as he imagined. He really needed to go back to the room and calm down. At this time, Mrs. Xia's medicine had been boiled. She was supported by Aunt Xu to go upstairs to drink the medicine. And Xia Liu happened to come in at this time. He saw that Xia Zhuozhuo was the only one left in the living room, and asked in confusion: "Xiao Qi, where are the others?" "They went back to their rooms." Xia Zhuozhuo answered simply. Xia Liu's eyes instantly became admiring: "Xiao Qi, you are really amazing! This is the first time I see the Du family being so respectful to you!" His eyes were like looking at an idol. Xia Zhuozhuo was already accustomed to this. She interrupted Xia Liu: "Sixth brother, I want to ask you for a favor." "You say!" Xia Liu said without hesitation. "I have a few friends who want to borrow some larger venues for office work. It is best to have a more secluded place." Xia Zhuozhuo made his request. Xia Liu nodded and agreed without thinking: "Of course! There is an abandoned factory in Xicheng, which was originally intended to be transformed into a tourist park, but it was shelved because of the inconvenient transportation there. Can this place be lent to your friend?" "Great!" Xia Zhuozhuo was delighted. She certainly didn't have a venue herself, but suddenly renting a large venue for office work would easily attract other people's attention. It is better for the Anbu to keep a low profile before the transfer is completed. But if the Xia family's own venue is used, it will not attract other people's attention. After all, she is the owner of the venue. "Thank you, Brother Liu!" Xia Zhuozhuo said gratefully. "Why are you being polite to me!" Xia Liu smiled generously, "Go take a bath and relax! The bathtub is already filled with water and it's still hot!" "Okay." Xia Zhuozhuo nodded and walked upstairs to her room. This pink princess room has been vacant since she lost her family. Even if Xia Liuli was adopted, she did not live in this room. This also means that the Xia family has never thought of giving up on her and has been waiting for her to come back. The room was cleaned spotlessly by Aunt Xu. Xia Zhuozhuo gently stroked each piece of furniture, and a strange sense of familiarity slowly grew in her heart, enriching her originally empty heart. She came to the bathroom, and just as Xia Liu said, the bathtub was already filled with bath water, and a layer of rose petals was laid on it. Xia Zhuozhuo lay down in it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, the phone rang suddenly. It was Guzai who called. "Boss, I have already found out about the situation of the Si family that you asked me to check." Guzai's voice sounded on the other end of the phone. "Go ahead." Xia Zhuozhuo ordered concisely. "The Si family has two sons, one is Si Jinyan and the other is Si Shenxing. People outside say that Si Shenxing is the illegitimate son of the Si family. Guess what?" Guzai kept it a secret. "Don't talk nonsense, just say it directly." Xia Zhuozhuo urged impatiently. "It turns out that Si Jinyan is the illegitimate son! He was sent abroad! Now Si Shenxing has become the person in charge of the Si family! And this kid is very skillful in doing things! In just one month, the group headquarters in Kyoto has been regulated and made obedient!" Guzai finished speaking in one breath. Xia Zhuozhuo raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "No wonder the Si family suddenly changed the heir a month ago." She thought of the man she met today - Si Shenxing. He looked calm and introverted, but not without sharpness. "Do you have a photo of him?" Xia Zhuozhuo asked. "Yes! I'll send it to you right away!" Guzai responded quickly. After a while, Xia Zhuozhuo's mobile phone received the photo sent by Guzai. The man in the photo has handsome eyebrows and eyes. Even if it's just a photo, people can feel his powerful aura. "Sure enough..." Xia Zhuozhuo murmured in a low voice. "What?" Guzai on the other end of the phone didn't hear clearly. "Nothing." Xia Zhuozhuo came back to his senses, "Help me check where he lives, I want to see him!" "Yes!" Guzai took the order and left. After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhuozhuo lay quietly in the bathtub, thinking about a lot of things. She recalled her encounter with Si today and the calmness and decisiveness he showed. This man seemed not as simple as he seemed. And she decided to meet him in person... As the water temperature gradually dropped, Xia Zhuozhuo stood up from the bathtub. She dried her body, put on soft pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom. The room was filled with a faint rose scent, which made her feel particularly peaceful and at ease. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to plan her next move...
