Chapter 11 The Mirror of the Heart
Chapter 11 The Mirror of the Heart
Shen Weiyi sat by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, her back to the warm summer morning sun, leisurely sipping her coffee. Looking at Xia Jun sitting beside her, holding a tablet and reviewing the company's financial statements, she asked with a smile, "It's already past nine o'clock, why is our Chairman Xia still lazing around at home? Isn't the company busy?"
Xia Jun retorted without even looking up, "I'm working from home for my daughter's sake, so what? Wei Yi, you're only relaxed now. Wait until the lab projects run into problems, then let's see if you're still so carefree."
Shen Weiyi rolled her eyes at Xia Jun.
"Can't you wish me well for once?"
Xia Jun put down the tablet and said with a helpless smile, "You were the one who joked with me first. I said something back, and you got upset. You can't expect me to just take the beating without fighting back, can you?"
Shen Weiyi put down her coffee, glared at Xia Jun, and said, "I'm an engineering student, I can't argue with you, so can't you give in to me?"
Xia Jun quickly said in a gentle tone, "Okay, okay, okay, it's my fault. I'll give in to you from now on."
Shen Weiyi then smiled with satisfaction.
"That's more like it."
As the two joked around, Xia Xue, with messy hair, wearing a light blue nightgown and slippers, yawned and walked down the stairs in a daze.
Halfway there, he caught a glimpse of Shen Weiyi and Xia Jun sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and instantly snapped out of his daze.
Xia Xue scratched her head and greeted them awkwardly, "Father, Mother, are you still home?"
Shen Weiyi put down her coffee, smiled, and stood up, saying, "I've been on vacation these past few days and have been at home. Did you sleep well? Aunt Zhang, dinner is ready."
Xia Jun said with a smile, "I happen to have some free time today. Don't just keep talking, are you hungry? Let's eat first."
Xia Xue moved downstairs and sat on a dining chair.
Like sitting on pins and needles.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
After thanking him, he lowered his head and ate the steamed bun in small bites.
"Don't just eat steamed buns, have some vegetables too. Zhang Ma's cold dishes are absolutely amazing."
Xia Xue quickly picked up the cold dish closest to her.
"Don't just eat vegetables, eat some meat. This crispy fish and beef are both delicious."
Xia Xue quickly picked up two pieces of meat and ate them.
"Don't choke, have some millet porridge. Zhang Ma's millet porridge is delicious."
Shen Weiyi was always worried that Xia Xue wasn't eating well, and would remind her from time to time.
Xia Jun couldn't stand it any longer and coughed lightly.
"Weiyi, let the child eat by himself."
Shen Weiyi then realized what was happening, smiled apologetically, and said to Xia Xue, "Yes, Xiaoxue, eat whatever you like, don't worry about me."
With no one to disturb her, Xia Xue ate more and finally tasted the flavors her mother had described; they were indeed delicious.
Shen Weiyi looked at Xia Xue's good appetite with a face full of satisfaction.
Just then, her phone rang.
Shen Weiyi glanced at her phone screen, her brows furrowed, and her expression instantly turned serious.
"Feed? What? The experimental data is so different? Which part of the process went wrong this time? No, you checked it several times? You always said the same thing, but every time I checked it again, there was always something wrong here or there... And you're acting all aggrieved with me. This is a laboratory, not a kindergarten. Go cry to your mother if you want... Humph, stop whining. I'll be back in a bit and see how I deal with you..."
After speaking, Shen Weiyi raised her head, about to say something to Xia Jun, when she suddenly glanced at Xia Xue, who was staring at her in disbelief.
Oops.
Her image as a loving mother has been completely ruined.
Xia Jun suppressed a laugh and quickly stood up to smooth things over, saying, "Weiyi, the lab is looking for you. Go on, don't worry, I'll take care of things at home."
Shen Weiyi looked at Xia Xue with a reluctant expression.
Xia Xue then came to her senses and quickly said obediently, "Mother, don't worry, I'm all grown up now and can take care of myself. You go ahead and do your work."
Shen Weiyi sighed and said to Xia Jun, "Old Xia, I'm entrusting our daughter to you."
Xia Jun smiled and gave a military salute.
"We guarantee the mission will be completed."
Shen Weiyi burst into laughter after her tears, saying, "You're just being silly!"
Shen Weiyi gave Xia Xue a detailed half-hour of instructions before hurriedly grabbing her briefcase and running out of the house.
After Xia Xue finished eating all the food on the table, Xia Jun put down his tablet and asked with a smile, "Xiao Xue, what are your plans for today?"
Xia Xue knew Xia Jun wanted to see her, so she shook her head and said, "I have no plans."
Xia Jun stood up and said, "Come on, let's visit a friend together."
Xia Xue thought to herself, "I'm so annoyed."
Yesterday I visited my neighbor so that I could take her to Xiaoyaoju to see a renowned doctor.
This time it will probably be the same old trick.
Sure enough, when the car stopped, the two had already arrived at the downstairs of a psychological clinic.
"Heart Mirror Agency".
That's an interesting name.
It wasn't a consultation room, but an office.
She looked to be around thirty years old, wearing frameless glasses and a white women's suit. Her long hair, just past her shoulders, was casually draped over her shoulders, and she exuded an indescribable friendly aura.
Her appearance was not outstanding, but she was very beautiful.
It was a beauty that was completely non-threatening, making it unforgettable at first glance.
She held a book in one hand and extended the other, speaking with grace and poise.
"Hello, Mr. Xia."
Xia Jun gently shook hands.
"Dr. Chu, you're being too polite. You and Xiao Jue are close friends, so just call me Uncle Xia."
Chu Mian called out "Uncle Xia" as Xia Jun had said, then secretly and warily eyed Xia Xue.
"Who is this?"
Xia Jun introduced her naturally: "This is my long-lost daughter, Xia Xue."
Stranded abroad?
Chu Mian didn't understand, but she still nodded politely to Xia Xue.
"Hello, nice to meet you."
The wariness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
As Chu Mian greeted him, the system's voice rang out.
"Cameo appearance in 'A Heart Disease That's Hard to Cure, A Ruthless Boss's Forced Love,' open the treasure chest..."
"Max Level Secret Technique: Thousand Faces"
"The Thousand Faces: People have a thousand faces, and things have ten thousand forms. By creating external objects, controlling muscles and bones, changing accents and shapes, and using superb acting skills, one can even change their aura and completely become another person."
"Max level trait: Cannot get lost."
Secret techniques for disguise.
It includes techniques, skills, and tools for making, forming a complete system of inheritance.
However, practicing "Thousand Faces" has one major drawback: it's easy to get too immersed in the role and develop a split personality.
Fortunately, with maxed-out stats, it won't get lost, eliminating the possibility of split personality.
Xia Xue now understood why Chu Mian was wary.
With such a paranoid and skilled at disguise secretly watching her, she naturally remained vigilant towards any stranger who approached her.
"Hello there."
Xia Xue politely returned the gift.
Chu Mianchong and the other person gestured for them to proceed.
Xia Jun said to Xia Xue, "Wait outside for a while, I have something to discuss with Dr. Chu."
Xia Xue had expected this, so she nodded obediently and turned around to look at the amazing oil paintings around her.
Xia Jun and Chu Mian entered the office.
Chu Mian spoke first: "President Xia, as you know, I never take on patients with unknown backgrounds."
