Chapter 337: Wife (5)
In the last few words, he lowered his voice and spoke right beside Xia Siyu’s ear.
The threatening implication was particularly obvious, he wanted her to “repay the debt with her body”!
“What debt? Is that even considered a debt?” Xia Siyu puffed out her small chest with outsiders present, she wasn’t afraid of Bo Yan playing any mind games with her, “That’s called marital joint property! Isn’t it normal for women to manage the finances in a family? I’m already doing great, not even asking for your salary card. You mentioning it now actually reminds me, hand over your salary card!”
Unexpectedly, Bo Yan took out his wallet and stuffed it into Xia Siyu’s arms, “It’s all yours, if the money isn’t enough, I can give you myself as well.”
“Who wants you?” Xia Siyu got a chill and then shoved the wallet back at him, “I don’t want your money either!”
She was a top influencer herself, earning a significant amount from endorsements and acting fees each year, why would she need his money? She didn’t need a man to support her, nor did she want one to. She could earn her own money, buy her own things.
——Of course, this sort of ill-gotten wealth obtained through extortion, she’d take it as her way of carrying out justice!
She was rejecting him, but in Xia Youbiao’s eyes, this was just standard small quarrels between a young couple. Although Xia Siyu wasn’t as affectionate with Bo Yan as she had just indicated, as long as a husband and wife had topics to talk about, there was hope for them yet.
Xia Youbiao’s concerns were half-relieved.
After Bo Yan had left, Xia Youbiao looked at his daughter, “Siyu, come sit with Dad later.”
Xia Siyu’s facade of gentleness vanished in an instant, and she even laughed, “If I sit there, where will Mrs. Tong sit?”
With that one sentence, Xia Youbiao and Xia Ju’an both fell silent. Xia Youbiao had no particular affection for Tong min, at most, it was familial since she was the biological mother of Xia Ju’an and Xia Sicai. Xia Youbiao could be ruthless to her, but he couldn’t bear to be the same towards his two children. Besides, other relatives of the Xia Family also supported her, and the company still needed the influence of the Tong Family; as long as she didn’t do anything too outrageous, he couldn’t just drive her away.
Moreover, in the future, it would probably be Xia Ju’an who would be in charge of the Xia Family. Xia Sicai was also well-established in the Bo Family by then, so even if he didn’t show Mrs. Tong any respect, he still had to consider his son and daughter.
Xia Youbiao’s expression was hesitant, so was Xia Ju’an’s. In fact, they were both well aware of Tong min’s issues, but they were incapable of dealing with her.
Xia Siyu was also unwilling to compromise.
She looked coldly at her father and brother, fully aware that they both had their own thoughts deep down. However, Xia Youbiao was naturally gentle and yielding, and Xia Ju’an wasn’t the type to speak harshly to his mother and sister.
“I said it three years ago, if she stays, I go; if I stay, she goes. You all rest well, I’m leaving.”
She slung her trench coat over one shoulder, her face calm, and strode out on her high heels. Just as she had reached the door, Xia Youbiao called out to her from behind, “Siyu… Visit home when you have time. Dad misses you.”
Xia Siyu’s expression was cold, “As long as you turn on the TV or computer, just click a few apps, you should be able to see my splash ads everywhere.”
So, visiting home? Better not.
With those words, she closed the door firmly behind her.
Actually, she wasn’t very saddened, having known for many years that this would be the outcome. Therefore, she never attended any activities held by the Xia Family, and the woes or joys of the Xia Family were none of her concern.
Still, she didn’t expect that not long after she left, around the corner of the corridor not far away, there was someone pondering over the sight of her departing figure.
