Chapter 723: Chapter 720: Chains of Traps (2)
“We’re just friends.”
As soon as he saw her response, he knew Xia Siyu had made her relationship with Han Yifan clear, and he guessed his father could finally get a good night’s sleep.
He immediately called his father, not expecting that it was almost half past eleven by now. His father usually had a very regular lifestyle and would never go to bed after 10:30 unless there was work to do.
But that day, when he called Xia Youbiao, it was clear that Xia Youbiao was still very awake. Obviously, he hadn’t rested yet.
“Dad, I met with Siyu,” he said. “She said there’s nothing between her and that Han Family kid. I just saw that Han Family kid actually prefers another female celebrity, so you can rest easy now.”
Xia Youbiao clearly wasn’t that surprised; he probably had been secretly following Xia Siyu’s Weibo. However, with his son’s confirmation, he indeed felt much calmer.
But once he calmed down, he felt slightly annoyed—what made Han Yifan think he could look down on my daughter? My daughter is a thousand times better than others!
He couldn’t help it; Xia Youbiao actually felt guilty about his youngest daughter. Not only did he love her mother more, they had lived apart since she was young, and as she grew up, she was ostracized by the Xia Family. Although Xia Youbiao handed over the family company to Xia Ju’an, he had indeed left a safety net for Xia Siyu. In addition to silently watching over her, he had made provisions for his fortune a long time ago.
Ms. Tong had been scheming for years but failed to realize that Xia Youbiao had secretly drawn up a will, leaving sixty percent of his fortune to Xia Siyu. The rest would go to Xia Ju’an and Xia Sicai. But Xia Siyu currently didn’t lack money at all; she could earn her own.
After finishing the call, Xia Ju’an immediately booked the earliest flight back for the next day.
He still had an unfinished project, and coming here today was already squeezing time out of his schedule. Even if he wanted to ease his sibling relationship with Xia Siyu, they both were clear that they stood on opposite sides of interests, and maintaining a peaceful coexistence was already good.
The earliest flight was at five-thirty in the morning. Good thing Xia Ju’an was quite diligent in his work; he set an alarm for three, and as soon as the time came, he quickly got ready and left. It was a good thing he came quickly and left quickly, bringing no luggage with him, so he didn’t need much packing; after checking out, he was gone.
After posting on Weibo, Xia Siyu didn’t have time to think much and went to bed after washing up.
What she didn’t expect was to be woken up an hour later by a series of urgent calls from Wei Jingjing. Xia Siyu was already grumpy when she woke up; she had shot late into the night and only managed to get to bed at midnight. Now it was four in the morning, when a person is sleepiest.
Xia Siyu was so irritated she could explode. She didn’t even look at the caller ID, simply declining the call. Just as she was about to drift back to sleep, Wei Jingjing came knocking on her door. Getting no response, she took out her room card and swiped it to open the door—unfortunately for her, Xia Siyu had used the safety chain and locked it from inside, so Wei Jingjing had to shout, “Siyu, Siyu, wake up!”
Only then did Xia Siyu get up, her hair a mess like a bird’s nest, and she was so angry she was about to blow up: “What’s all this rushing for, is the house on fire?”
Wei Jingjing was in a panic too: “If the house was on fire, I wouldn’t call you. Just check out the messages on Weibo.”
When Xia Siyu looked, oh boy, her rumored boyfriend had changed again—this time it was Xia Ju’an.
