Chapter 270: Taken Away by the Xi Family (2/2)
Xiao Mo was even more curious. ”If she is Miss Xia's friend, why didn't she directly call her but instead went through you?”
”You're right…” This raised Xia Zhi's suspicions as well. If she called his sister's phone, someone would still pick it up; so, why didn't she?
”Maybe she is my sister's friend from a long time ago, I remember Xinghe didn't like to use cell phones back then,” Xia Zhi guessed.
Xiao Mo nodded as Xi Family's old mansion came into view. ”We're here.”
Xia Zhi looked at the sprawling mansion and his heart twisted into a knot.
On one hand, he was happy that he was going to see his sister, but on the other, sad that she was still unconscious!
…
Xinghe's entourage also reached Ye Family's villa.
The house was okay in size. It was observable that the Ye family was only rich but not loaded.
Auntie Ding was the first to descend from the car. She ordered coolly, ”Young Mistress, come on now. You also know the rules, we can't use the wheelchair in the house.”
Xia Meng's legs weren't really incapacitated but one of her legs was lame, giving her an awkward gait.
Xinghe strode ahead of Auntie Ding as she familiarized herself with the unique physiology of her leg.
Auntie Ding looked at her with surprise. Xia Meng was usually shy about walking in public, as if she'd done something wrong, so she had to have a wheelchair whenever she left home.
The Xia Meng before her was someone completely different. Even with the disability, she walked with the presence of a confident supermodel.
Auntie Ding thought to herself, Perhaps the suicide triggered some changes within this woman or else how can one explain the changes?
In the living room, Mrs. Ye and her daughter, Ye Qin, were enjoying their afternoon tea.
Witnessing Xinghe's return, their smiles froze on their faces and their faces immediately turned into masks of annoyance and disdain.
Ye Qin, who didn't look a day older than 20, even rolled her eyes at Xinghe.
