Chapitre 11: 011 That's fate.
After settling the bill, Xu He looked at her eldest daughter, "Xiaorong, you were so busy introducing things to your sister, you hardly ate anything yourself. Let Mom get you a little more..."
Xia Yourong smiled generously, "No need, Mom, I'm not hungry. As long as my sister has eaten well, that's enough."
Just perfect, since she was going to meet Brother Yunzhou tomorrow, she could consider it a diet.
On the ride home, Xia Ye curled up in the back seat, her head buried in the hood of her sweatshirt, looking listless.
Xu He asked Wang Dahai to turn down the rear air conditioning to avoid blowing on Little Tiangao's shiny little forehead.
She thought Little Tiangao was tired, but in fact, Xia Ye just felt envious watching Xia Yuzheng drink red wine during dinner!

The majestic and exquisite gate of the courtyard slowly opened, and the car drove into the Xia Family villa.
Located on the third ring road of Capital City, the upscale villa was surrounded by greenery. Now, at night, under the warm yellow lights of the courtyard, it was as quiet as a secluded manor.
The impression of the Xia Family from 14 years ago overlapped with the villa before her eyes. In a daze, Xia Ye recalled some past events.
She had once thought that since she was here to be punished, starting off in a well-off family with a kitchen that had soup on the stove, a lamp by the window, and flowers on the balcony would be very lucky.
Who knew that the Xia Family not only had all these but—
In the kitchen, there was bird's nest and matsutake soup.
By the window, there was a Swarovski crystal chandelier.
On the balcony were hundreds of thousands worth of championship standard Suguang Heding orchids!
Sigh.
Such was fate.
As soon as they got out of the car, Mother Wu greeted them with a beaming smile.
"Sir, Madam, eldest miss," Mother Wu had been with the Xia Family for ten years. She hadn't seen Xia Ye before, but understanding the girl's identity from Xu He holding Xia Ye's hand, she looked her over before saying, "This must be the second miss, right? My goodness, she looks just like a carbon copy of Madam."
Xia Ye looked around; the servants seemed to be all new faces. The butler she remembered from before was nowhere to be seen.
"Did Uncle Huang quit?" she asked.
Xu He was pleasantly surprised at the question, "You still remember Uncle Huang?"
Xia Ye nodded, and then saw Xia Yuzheng with a somewhat grim expression, "Yes, he resigned a long time ago."
Xia Yourong had no interest in this topic.
Uncle Huang?
She didn't know him.
And was a butler worth discussing?
She smoothed her hair beside her ear and stepped toward the house.
The small town hotel was dirty and rundown, and she didn't even dare to take a shower. Now that she was finally home, she needed to clean up quickly.
Mother Wu mentioned that Chief Fu had called an hour ago. As soon as Xia Yuzheng entered the house, he promptly returned the call.
He had thought it was news about a criminal's whereabouts, but to his disappointment, Chief Fu was just inquiring about his daughter.
Seeing this, Xu He patted Xia Ye's shoulder comfortingly and took her to see her room.
Meanwhile, Xia Yuzheng asked Chief Fu some questions and chatted for over an hour before hanging up.
Xia Xing returned from an interview with light makeup still on her face. Her originally beautiful features looked even more captivating that one couldn't look away.
However, when he learned that his father had just been in touch with the police, his eyebrows instantly furrowed.
"Dad, what did they say?" he asked.
Xia Yuzheng lit a cigarette, shook his head gravely.
The criminal was not only cunning but also a full-fledged terrorist.
The thought of all that explosives strapped to Tiangao made him shiver with fear.
If the police hadn't received that mysterious tip-off call, by the time they found Tiangao, it might have already been...
Xia Xing's fingers clutching the car keys turned white with tension, his jawline taut, his expression terrifyingly cold.
Once his older brother and younger brother returned, they would spare no expense to find the criminal and tear him to pieces!
They could not let Tiangao suffer unclearly for 14 years like this!
