Chapter 4 Luggage
On a speeding sports car.
The bell rang.
When Xia Yao saw the incoming call, Xia Jue's name and profile picture came into view. She turned her car into a nearby parking lot.
"sister."
A concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.
"How is it?"
Xia Yao thought for a moment and said, "She is completely different from what I expected. She is very calm and does not seem like an ordinary high school student who has never seen the world. I can tell that she is not bluffing. She seems to have some kind of confidence that we do not know about."
After a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the phone said, "I'm asking about you."
Xia Yao paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Sister, I'm fine. Don't you know me? Besides, sister, have you forgotten? I was the one who discovered and exposed this. I had already anticipated all the consequences, and I can accept them all. Don't worry, sister, I'll be alright."
There was silence again on the other end of the phone, before a long pause was followed by a reply: "Be careful."
Then he hung up the phone.
Xia Yao shook her head.
"Cold on the outside, warm on the inside."
Just as Xia Yao was about to start the car, her phone rang again.
This time it's WeChat.
It was sent by Xia Jue.
"There will always be a difference between expectations and reality. Don't lose confidence because of a few discrepancies."
Xia Yao smiled and said, "Finally, we should add, 'You must believe in yourself, Yao Yao, you are the best.'"
Xia Yao replied with a "Received" emoji.
Restart the vehicle and slowly blend into the traffic.
Fang Rou handed the documents back to Xia Xue and sighed, saying:
"Sigh, we were supposed to have a great day today, but it all fell through again. It was the same with previous trips, and it's the same this time. Xiaoxue, do you think I have some kind of constitution that makes things fall through?"
Why is it getting emo?
Xia Xue put her arm around Fang Rou's shoulder and shook her vigorously, saying:
"Xiaorou, you have to believe in yourself. You have a lucky streak, and you will definitely become very famous in the future."
Is it a lucky charm constitution?
Fang Rou laughed heartily, her bad mood instantly dispelled. She hugged Xia Xue's arm tightly, rubbed her face against Xia Xue's shoulder, and joked, "Xiao Xue, you're a rich heiress now, I'm going to hold on tight to your leg."
Xia Xue gently ruffled Fang Rou's hair and jokingly followed up on Fang Rou's words, saying, "So, I've become your sugar daddy?"
"Sugar daddy?" Fang Rou's laughter, which she had finally managed to suppress, rang out again.
Xia Xue's heart stirred.
"It seems like it might not be a bad idea."
In this way, we can turn a passive situation into an active one.
There's no need to wait for Fang Rou to enter the entertainment industry before verifying this; I can directly bring Fang Rou into the entertainment industry.
As investors, we can be that capricious.
Seeing Xia Xue deep in thought, Fang Rou stopped laughing and tilted her head curiously, asking, "Xiao Xue, what are you thinking about?"
Xia Xue glanced at Fang Rou and teased, "Nothing, just thinking about being your father."
Fang Rou punched Xia Xue with her little fist.
"What father? Even if you were to be one, you could only be a mother."
Xia Xue always says things that only boys would say.
After saying that, Fang Rou realized what she had said and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "No, it wasn't Mom either. You were daydreaming. You didn't hear me."
Xia Xue laughed and said, "But I heard it, very clearly. By the way, I also recorded it. Do you want to listen to it?"
As she spoke, Xia Xue even waved her phone provocatively.
This caused Fang Rou to scramble for it.
"Just kidding."
The two had had enough of arguing.
Fang Rou then asked with concern, "Xiaoxue, what are your thoughts on this?"
Xia Xue exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "I didn't think that much about it. It's just a change of environment. I'm an adult now, and my family's influence on me is negligible. If I'm comfortable in a wealthy family, I'll stay a few more days. If I'm not, I'll just leave."
She had planned that once she entered university, she would transfer her household registration and gradually lose contact with her family.
Now, it's just a different way of doing it.
The two parted ways at the entrance of the residential compound.
When she got home, Xia Xue took a deep breath, mentally prepared herself, and then took out her keys to open the door.
With a creak.
The security door slowly opened from the outside.
Xia Xue habitually lowered her head and moved her feet lightly into the house.
It was still morning, but the house felt very dark.
Shen Wanyi sat blankly on the sofa like a wax figure. Hearing the sound from the door and seeing Xia Xue walk in, she habitually stood up and shouted, "What time is it? Why are you only coming back now?"
After yelling, he suddenly realized something, turned into a wax figure again, and stood there dumbfounded.
Xia Xue also realized what was happening at this moment.
Her identity has changed; she no longer needs to pretend.
She slowly raised her head, straightened her body, and looked directly at the woman who had driven the original owner to depression and ultimately led her to end her own life, staring at the woman who had made her feel like she was living in prison for three months.
However, she has a very beautiful name.
mother.
This name left both the original owner and her with no choice but to submit, unable to resist it.
Xia Xue opened her mouth, as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't utter a single word.
She didn't know what to say to represent the original owner of the body, nor did she know what to say to have a clear conscience.
After all, she was the original owner's mother.
After all, her love was real.
After all, the original owner had already ended things in his own way.
Even if her way of loving someone is wrong.
Even if her method of escape was wrong.
Even so, this is their own life.
She has no right to resent, nor does she have the right to forgive.
Xia Xue stood quietly for a while before making a move again. As if she hadn't seen Shen Wanyi, she went straight back to the bedroom and gently closed the door.
Xia Xue sat on the chair for a while before taking out her laptop. Using her newly acquired hacking skills, she hacked into each of the organizations and individuals mentioned in the information, reviewing them in her own way.
Late at night.
No one called her for dinner.
She was too lazy to eat.
Xia Xue thought for a moment and then started packing her luggage.
I only took a few sets of underwear, necessary documents, and personal items that held sentimental value.
Finally, Xia Xue gently stroked the gray diary, lost in hesitation.
"Should we leave this diary here, or take it with us?"
Xia Xue sighed.
I took pictures of each page of the diary with my phone, then used the camera to flip through it page by page and record the video. Finally, I closed the diary and placed it neatly in the center of the bedside table.
"These are her things, let's keep them."
She probably also wanted to leave it for the people who should see it, right?
Xia Xue got up, walked to the window, and looked up at the starry sky.
"A cameo... that's really brilliant."
