Chapter 507: Chapter 508: Can’t Even Touch, Not Like it’s a Woman
The genius who could defeat him couldn’t speak.
Even as his shock persisted, Xiao Wu had already started the car.
Gu Qichen stepped forward.
He handed out a business card: “Could you please hand this card over to the child’s parent and ask her to contact me when she has the time? I know some top experts who might be able to help with Summer’s hypersomnia.”
Xiao Wu didn’t even look at Gu Qichen, took the card directly, and then closed the window.
Ah K gritted his teeth and said: “That damn kid was exceedingly rude. Considering his attire, he’s likely a shut-in suffering from social anxiety. It was just a slight collision. Why overreact so much? It’s not like he’s a woman.”
Gu Qichen glanced at him: “And yet, you want him to be your master?”
After Xia Ye got in the car, he turned to ask: “Why didn’t my mother pick me up?”
Xiao Wu replied: “She’s not feeling well.”
Xiao Wu could indeed speak.
But she only spoke to her family. She could not utter a single word to anyone else outside.
With her severe social anxiety, she seldom left home, maybe less than twenty times a year.
However, ever since she started living with Xia Yangyang,
Xia Yangyang was always figuring out ways to get Xiao Wu out into the world.
The old Xiao Wu used to shake all over whenever she left her sealed-off little dark room, unable to live like normal people.
But now, although she still disdained social interactions and was afraid of the light, unable to speak to others,
At least, she could move around like a normal person.
Xiao Wu took Xia Ye to a vineyard in the suburbs.
It was one of Master Gao’s businesses here.
Everyone had gathered here in these few days.
Xiao Zhan had also just arrived.
When everyone saw Xia Ye coming back, they gathered around him.
Phoenix immediately picked up Xia Ye: “My handsome boy, do you know how worried your godmother is for you?”
Li Zhiqian walked over: “With Summer’s intelligence, no matter what situation she encounters, she can handle it. What’s there to worry about?”
Xia Ye called out: “Uncle.”
Xiao Zhan clenched his fist and bumped it lightly against Xia Ye’s little fist: “Indeed, you didn’t disappoint me.”
Ah Shui also ran over: “It’s all my fault. I got held up that day. If I had picked up Summer, none of this would have happened. Regardless of whether it was the Interpol or the space police, I’d have been able to lose them all.”
Everyone was surrounding Xia Ye.
Master Gao slowly came down from the second floor.
He was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, a light smile on his face.
Xia Ye yelled to him: “Grandpa.”
Master Gao walked over to Phoenix, took Xia Ye from her hands, and with a casual air said, “What are all of you worrying about for nothing? If my grandson Gao Huizhi couldn’t handle such a small matter, how could he be considered a person I’ve brought up?”
Everyone looked at Master Gao, calm and unruffled, as though he expected all of this.
They collectively rolled their eyes. Everyone knew who was the one who couldn’t eat, drink, or sleep out of worry on the night Xia Ye disappeared…
Xia Ye looked around but didn’t see Xia Yangyang.
He asked aloud: “Where’s my mother, is she sick?”
Everyone exchanged glances when he asked this.
Since the last time Xia Yangyang went to pick up Xia Ye but returned empty-handed inexplicably, she had been locking herself in her room to sleep.
No one knew what had happened, but they felt something was very wrong.
