Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Xia’s Family Falls into Turmoil Again 4
How could Xia Ye Zhao not feel chilled?
“You stay here to take care of Mom and Dad, I’ll go save your sister-in-law and Xiaoman.”
Xia Yanyan pulled at Xia Ye Zhao, not letting him go: “Brother, am I and Mom not as important as that woman and Xiaoman in your heart?”
“Everyone is important, but there are priorities.”
Xia Ye Zhao forcefully pried Xia Yanyan’s hand away. He was worried about his wife and child; the kidnappers were ruthless killers.
Xia Ye Zhao left and, following the kidnappers’ instructions, took the money to ransom them.
Driving to the designated location, he found it was a serene restaurant, feeling something was off.
He had the bodyguards all wait outside the restaurant and ventured alone into the lion’s den, entering the designated private room. As he pushed open the door, he heard lively chatter from inside, where Chang Danran and Xiaoman were sitting at the table eating barbecue, in a room full of steam, with no kidnappers.
“What’s going on?” Xia Ye Zhao had a premonition that he had been tricked.
He glared at Ye Junqing: “Was this your doing?”
“It was me, I wanted to invite you out for a meal and was afraid you wouldn’t want to leave the hospital, so I came up with a lousy idea, this has nothing to do with my family’s big troublemaker. If you’re angry, just blame me.” Ye Xingguang voluntarily confessed.
Faced with his candid sister, Xia Ye Zhao was both annoyed and helpless, his voice slightly stern: “Stop fooling around, don’t do this again.”
Ye Xingguang immediately pointed to an empty seat: “Brother, sit down. You’ve been quarantined in the Xia Corporation building these days and haven’t eaten well, have you? You look thinner, sister-in-law would be heartbroken, and Xiaoman misses Dad too. Let’s sit down and have a hearty meal first, and we’ll think about how to deal with those messy things afterwards.”
Chang Danran looked at Xia Ye Zhao with sympathy. She had already heard about the hospital situation from Ye Xingguang: “Sit down and eat something, your sister is right, you’ll only have the energy to solve problems when you’re full.”
Ye Junqing didn’t speak throughout, simply opened a bottle of alcohol and poured him a glass of beer.
After Xia Ye Zhao sat down, he picked up the glass and drank it all in one go, genuinely annoyed in his heart, but seeing his family gathered around the table, he didn’t want to show too much.noveldrama
Xiaoman jumped down from his seat and squeezed in next to him: “Dad, Mom and I love you, forever love you.”
Hearing this, Xia Ye Zhao felt warmth in his heart, lifted Xiaoman up, placed him on his lap, and ruffled his hair: “Dad knows.”
Ye Junqing poured another glass of wine for his brother-in-law: “To be blunt, these things are beyond your control anyway. They’re all Xia Wealth’s blood kin, what can you do? They’re just here to fight for the assets Xia Wealth holds. Luckily, Xia Wealth’s shares in the Xia Corporation aren’t more than yours, not enough to affect your absolute control over the Xia Corporation. It shows how shrewd your grandfather was. When he passed away, he left most of his estate to you, and all the shares held by his three sons together aren’t as much as yours alone.”
At this moment, Xia Ye Zhao was not in the mood to hear this.
Ye Junqing added: “It’s also lucky that our little fish tail is smart and never acknowledged her ancestry, otherwise I can’t imagine how many more sisters-in-law I’d have by now.”
Ye Xingguang shuddered at hearing this: “I will never acknowledge them!”
Ye Junqing hugged her: “Blood relations can’t be severed easily. Even if you don’t acknowledge them, if they insist on it, there’s nothing you can do. Half-siblings or not, in their eyes, you’re their sister, and the outside world will see it that way too.”
Ye Xingguang felt a lingering fear; fortunately, she never admitted being Xia Qiongqiong. If she has another identity, it is as the Queen of the Undersea Empire, Muya Jiushu!
However, Xia Yanyan wouldn’t be so lucky…
