Chapter 682 - How Can I Help You? (2/2)
Meanwhile, Xia Yixuan was so frightened by Chu Lui. She did not dare to go out of the house for a few days. Every time she thought of Chu Lui’s red eyes and the hands that almost strangled her neck, she was petrified and was scared awake at night.
“Daddy.” She walked to Xia Mingzheng’s side and hugged his arm before shaking it like she did in the past.
“You!” Towards this daughter, Xia Mingzheng had nothing to say. Even though he was angry and disappointed, it was better than him sending her off to her death.
“Why are you so disobedient?” He could not resist not disciplining Xia Yixuan. “Think about it. What have you done all these while? If you didn’t like Chu Lui, you could have just said it. There was no need to come up with a car accident. Don’t you know how I have been living for the past few years?”
“Daddy, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Xia Yixuan was really spoiled. Up till now, she still did not know what she did wrong. “How was I supposed to know that it would end up like this back then?” She complained. “Anyway, I’m back now. Who allowed that shameless Xia Ruoxin to marry my Brother Lui? Brother Lui is mine!”
“Yixuan!” Xia Yixuan boomed and called out Xia Yixuan’s name.
“What’s wrong with you, Dad?”
Xia Yixuan pulled a long face. “I just came home, and you yelled at me?”
“I didn’t yell at you.” Xia Mingzheng did not know how to communicate with this daughter. “Don’t bother with Chu Lui and his family ever again. Don’t go near them, and distance yourself as far as possible away from Chu Lui.
“Do you hear me?”
Xia Mingzheng raised his voice, but Xia Yixuan still had a look of nonchalance on her face. She looked away. While Xia Mingzheng was talking, she did not hear anything of what he said.
“Daddy. I don’t care. You must help me this time.”
Xia Yixuan interrupted Xia Mingzheng’s sentence. This was her father, her biological father. Naturally, he would give whatever she wanted. However, he was actually raining down on her parade. How could this be happening?
“What can I help you with?” Xia Mingzheng started to regret it. How could he teach his daughter and caused her to become like this? She had no morals and had embarrassed him with whatever she had done. He needed to settle her now and change her for the better. If he did not do so, what else could he do for her?
“Daddy…” Xia Yixuan tugged Xia Mingzheng’s arm.
“That Xia Ruoxin is back and is right in Brother Lui’s office. What should I do? I don’t care. Get Mother to call that Xia Ruoxin to come back and not come in between me and Brother Lui. Brother Lui should be mine.”
Xia Mingzheng really wanted to slap this daughter of his. Did she have any idea what she was saying? Chu Lui… did he not make himself clear? Or did she think that she had not embarrassed his family enough?
“Yixuan, don’t follow that Li Manni. She ruined herself and her entire family.”
Outsiders did not know how the Li family fell out of power, but he could not ‘not know’. It was Chu Lui’s doing. Even though Chu Lui did not cause the Li family to fall apart, he did do enough damage. If it was not for Chu Lui considering his past relations with the Xia family—based on Xia Yixuan’s lies from the past four years, it was lucky that their Xia family could live on peacefully.
“Don’t mess with Xia Ruoxin or Chu Lui again.” He repeatedly warned.
However, Xia Yixuan was still not happy.
From young, she was prioritized for everything at home. Xia Ruoxin should be her shadow for life, be the dog by her side. Chu Lui was hers. Last time, she did not want him; but now that she did, he was hers.
