Chapter 44 Dazzling Girl
Chapter 44 Dazzling Girl
It was evening.
Xiaoyao Residence, backyard, stone pavilion.
Xia Jun, his face flushed, clinked glasses with Xie Yanqing, his smile impossible to hide.
"Haha, Yan Qing, I'm really happy. A-Jue finally doesn't treat herself like an outsider anymore, Yao Yao has finally broken free from the Xia clan, and Xiao Xue has finally learned to rely on her older sister. Haha, my three daughters are getting better and better. Haha, I'm so gratified, Yan Qing, haha."
As he laughed, Xia Jun's eyes became moist without him even realizing it.
Xie Yanqing quietly drank her wine, listening to Xia Jun's sharing.
The envy in their eyes was genuine.
"I never imagined that the person you mentioned, who at such a young age possesses the Dark Force realm and medical skills no less than mine, is actually your newly adopted daughter, Xia Xue."
Xie Yanqing felt a pang of embarrassment as she recalled the scene of taking the other person's pulse.
No wonder the other person is so healthy, no wonder no trace of cultivation can be diagnosed on their body.
It turned out that the other party's skill level and medical expertise were no weaker than his, and might even have surpassed his.
If you're trying to figure something out without thinking, you won't be able to diagnose anything at all.
"This is utterly shameful."
Xie Yanqing glared at the person who had embarrassed him.
Xia Jun, however, was completely oblivious and kept urging the others to drink.
"You're raising goldfish here, huh? Drink up, haha."
Xie Yanqing shook his head and chuckled.
"What a lucky guy."
Xie Yanqing picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Qingfeng Temple?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Xie Yanqing's eyes.
"I had someone investigate, and it's not a reclusive sect, nor is it an outpost of any sacred mountain; it's just an ordinary Taoist temple."
Xie Yanqing shook his head.
"Could it be that some learned master who traveled to Qingfeng Temple, on a whim, took Xia Xue in as a concubine?"
I don't understand.
"Drink up, haha."
Xie Yanqing clinked glasses with Xia Jun, his eyes filled with even more envy.
"What a lucky guy."
Not only are the two adopted daughters incredibly lucky and exceptionally capable, but even the biological daughter they just reunited with is just as outstanding.
She is even more outstanding than her two adopted daughters.
"The Xia family has finally established itself."
While Xie Yanqing was drinking with his head down, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
"The established families have a promising future."
The sun has set, and the lights along the lakeside road are coming on one by one, making the road look like it's adorned with the Milky Way.
Xia Jun walked and talked to Chu Mian on the phone, laughing as he went.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoxue has accepted us, and things are progressing very smoothly. Thank you, Dr. Chu."
Chu Mian frowned slightly after hanging up the phone.
"So fast?"
Wait a minute, how could someone who has awakened their personality accept this world and their family so quickly?
Chu Mian shook her head.
"This is only Xia Jun's side of the story; it's too subjective and not credible."
"Furthermore," Chu Mian flipped through the documents she had reviewed countless times, "it could also be an act."
Xia Xue had previously given acting roles.
Otherwise, the original family wouldn't have been so slow to realize that Xia Xue had a personality problem until she left behind that diary.
"Well, I'll record it as it is, but I'll include footnotes and my guesses at the end."
Xia Jun returned home.
"Aunt Zhang, where's Xiaoxue?"
As Zhang Ma tidied the house, she replied.
"Miss Xue has gone back to her bedroom."
Xia Jun nodded, loosened his tie, and swayed as he went upstairs.
Aunt Zhang shook her head helplessly.
"You've drunk so much again. It's not easy being rich. You're always socializing. Even the best body will break down if you drink this much."
Xia Jun knocked on Xia Xue's door.
"Enter!"
Xia Jun pushed open the door and saw Xia Xue standing on the balcony, with the starry sky as her back, looking back at him.
Looking at that face that resembled his wife's, Xia Jun's eyes involuntarily reddened.
"So alike, so very alike."
Xia Xue frowned as she walked into the house from the balcony.
"Have you been drinking?"
Xia Xue walked to the water dispenser and poured Xia Jun a glass of water.
After Xia Jun sat down, he took the water glass, grinned, and said, "I was happy today, so I had a couple of drinks with Yan Qing."
Xia Xue glanced at Xia Jun and nodded.
"The wine Xie Yanqing gave you was good. It's not only harmless, but it also has health benefits. You can go have a couple of drinks with him when you have time."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jun laughed and said, "That's right, she's truly my own daughter. She's so thoughtful. When A-Jue and Yao Yao see me drinking, they always advise me to drink less. They don't care at all whether I'm drinking because of social obligations, or because I'm happy or sad. It makes me very sad."
Xia Xue looked at Xia Jun, who was somewhat drunk, shook her head, and took the water glass that was about to spill.
"Even if Xie Yanqing's wine is a medicinal wine for health, don't overindulge. Medicinal wine is still wine, and it can also make you drunk."
Xia Jun leaned back, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, and said, "Let me tell you, your illness is extremely rare. There are only four cases in the entire world. I was worried that people would look at you with prejudice, so I tampered with your information. Remember this: all your martial arts and medical skills were learned from a wandering Taoist priest you met at Qingfeng Temple when you were a child. Got it?"
Xia Xue placed the water glass on the coffee table, shook her head, and said, "The truth will out, and the lie will become the truth. Your little tricks will be exposed sooner or later."
Xia Jun chuckled and waved his right hand twice like a fan.
"You don't understand. Sometimes in this world, you just need an excuse, even a fake one, and people will accept it. It's good to be a little oblivious."
Xia Xue seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.
In fact, the biggest purpose of Xia Jun's actions was to confuse the enemy and give her enough time to develop.
What she lacks most right now is time.
Xia Xue sensed the true energy within her body.
If she is given more time, she will be able to break through to a new level, and then all the current problems will no longer be problems.
"Netherfire, hmph!"
Then it will be time to settle the score.
Xia Jun uttered some more drunken ramblings before getting up and leaving.
I had only taken two steps, leaning against the wall, when my phone rang in my pocket.
Xia Jun leaned against the wall, reached into his pocket several times, and finally took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Feed? What? What did you say?" Xia Jun's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, and the drunkenness in his eyes almost vanished instantly: "Say it again! I know, where's Xia Jue? She hasn't come back yet. Okay, tell her to come back and find me, no matter how late. Okay, you continue to keep an eye on this news. I know this news came too late, but I don't want to hear it. I don't care about anything else, I only care about the results. Otherwise, what am I doing giving you so much money every year? This time I'll let it go, but don't let it happen again."
Xia Jun slowly straightened up, walked to the study, and gazed at a painting on the wall.
"Should we ask her to help?"
Xia Jun slowly squatted down against the wall, dejectedly saying:
"Let's see what Xia Jue has to say?"
