Sky-high pillow: the chief domineering substitute bride

Chapter 14

"Hey, Yuanyuan, what's the matter with you? You suddenly say such things? You are a young lady, you are destined to enjoy the glory and wealth, and you say that you can earn your own living. Mom is so sad to hear that. Hey, it's because Mom didn't do it right. Okay, I didn't ask the servants to prepare new meals, Hu Ma, Hu Ma, where have you been?"

Just as Xia Zhaoyang patted Xia Yuan on the back to comfort her, suddenly, a gentle but apologetic female voice sounded, it was her stepmother Qin Rui.

"Hey, it's okay. She's just a child. Seeing that we didn't wait for her, she got emotional for a while."

Seeing what Qin Rui said, Xia Zhaoyang quickly became a peacemaker.

It was only then that Xia Yuan discovered that her father and Si Ni were also good at it. If this happened in an ordinary family with a stepmother, Xia Zhaoyang's actions would be understandable and should even be praised.

However, since Qin Rui has the heart to seize the Xia family's property, it is impossible for her to be moved by Xia Zhaoyang's low profile and wholeheartedly trying to bridge her and her stepdaughter.She has a gentle appearance, but she is actually very strong inside. No matter what kind of warmth or emotion she encounters, she always strides forward according to her established goals.So Xia Zhaoyang's peace, in a way, gave Qin Rui room to deal with Xia Yuan.

"Hmph, Dad, you dote on my sister too much. How old is she? You still treat her like a child. I think she is too immature and immature than me. She cries about little things, It's really embarrassing to call her sister, and it's not that everyone didn't wait for her, it's clearly that she was late."

Xia Qian had already put on her makeup and put on a beautiful little dress. When she came out, she saw Xia Yuan's pear blossoms in the rain and her father comforting her. Suddenly, a wave of jealousy welled up in her heart.Although she is also her biological daughter, Xia Zhaoyang has always treated her differently than her sister.Maybe it's because she didn't grow up in Xia's family since she was a child?

"Dad, it's not because of the food. I just think I'm 20 years old, and you take such good care of me, which makes me seem useless. So I want to go to work in the company tomorrow and earn money to support myself."

Seeing that everyone was there, Xia Yuan simply made this request. It would be better if she had something to say in person, so as not to wait for her father to agree to her going to work, and behind Qin Rui's excuse that she was weak and needed to recuperate. change idea.

"Yuanyuan, isn't it too hard to go to work? I'm afraid you're weak and won't be able to bear it. You see Shaojun goes to work from nine to five every day, and sometimes he's too tired to talk when he comes home. If you go to work, you're still in good health. If it is not adjusted well, isn’t that making things worse?”

Sure enough, Qin Rui was always making a fuss about her body.The nails of Xia Yuan's one hand were so angry that they were about to dig into her palm. Qin Rui was like this. He wanted to keep her at home, keep her isolated from the social world and the company, so that it would be convenient for her to be dealt with in the future.

Hmph, she didn't see through the sinister faces of their mother and son in the previous life, and she will never compromise in this life.

But seeing the hesitant look on his father's face, he seemed to be moved by Qin Rui's persuasion.It's no wonder that Xia Zhaoyang is almost fifty now, but he is a man in his prime. He usually pays attention to exercise, doesn't smoke and drink, and takes good care of himself, so he always feels that he can support his daughter for a while longer.

According to Qin Rui's statement, it's okay to let Xia Yuan recuperate for a while, and he will be fine in three to five years. He is still too early to retire.

Seeing her father's expression as if she wanted to agree with Qin Rui's statement, Xia Yuan felt bad. If her father rejected her this time, it would be even more difficult to ask her next time.So before her father spoke, Xia Yuan hurried forward, put her arm around Xie Shaojun who had just come downstairs and said:

"Brother, I really want to go to work, so I don't have to be bored at home every day, and I can still see you at the company during lunch, how nice it is."

Seeing that Xia Yuan said these words with the meaning of being obsessed with himself, Xie Shaojun couldn't help but smile, his eyes became warmer, he looked up at his mother, and said:
"Dad, Mom, my sister is not young anymore, why don't you let her go to work in the company's idle department first, so that she won't be tired, and secondly, she won't be bored, right?"

"It's better brother, I know I'm afraid of boredom."

Xia Yuan happily shook Xie Shaojun's arm, and stared at him with a smile on his face, yearning and admiring.

Xie Shaojun was tickled by Xia Yuan's eyes, and then he thought that if Xia Yuan went to work, he would have more opportunities to get in touch with Xia Yuan, and show a different side of his work demeanor in front of Xia Yuan, making Xia Yuan more Be attracted to yourself.In addition, if she randomly arranges a leisure department, she is not afraid that her wings will become stiff, so she immediately made up her mind and agreed to support Xia Yuan to go to work.

Xie Shaojun, who was born in a prestigious school, still has full confidence in his ability to work, and he also firmly believes that the phrase "work" is a statement to show the heroism of modern men.

In this family, he has always been just a foreign species, unable to fly freely like his half-sister Xia Qian.And if Xia Yuan came to the company and was out of sight at home, he would have a better chance to approach her proactively.

Now at least based on his observations, Xia Zhaoyang never thought of marrying Xia Yuan to him. In Xia Zhaoyang's mind, he might just be a capable stepson, but in the end he was still an outsider. Maybe he would be granted a more important position in the future, but It is impossible to become the only leader of Xia's enterprise forever.

Xie Shaojun wants to go crazy whenever he thinks that huge wealth is within easy reach but unattainable.

"Hmph, brother, are you sure it's okay for her to come to work in the company in such a sick condition? Will the company add a medical department to provide first aid to her at any time?"

Xia Qian picks and cuts Xia Yuan. She never soft-spoken, even a little blatant. Xia Zhaoyang couldn't hear it very well, so his face darkened, and he snorted:

"Qianqian, what are you talking about? Even if your sister is weak, she is not as serious as you said."

When Xia Yuan heard her father defending her in a hurry, she immediately understood. It seemed that Qin Rui's painstaking efforts were not in vain. She read it day and night, and finally formed a bad health in her father's heart. impression.

I'm afraid that if it continues like this, and if I don't live up to it and become weaker and weaker, my father will really have to revise the will.

Of course, it would be great if his father's will could be changed to be inherited by Xie Shaojun. Their mother and son might not want to kill each other again, but Xia Yuan knew that his father was a person who attached great importance to blood inheritance. It is possible to hand over a huge family business to a person who has no blood connection with him to inherit.

"Dad, my sister and mom are right. My body is a little weak, but I think it has something to do with staying at home for a long time without contact with the outside world? If I go out more and exercise my body, maybe my body will gradually How about getting stronger?"

Since Qin Rui's mother and son were talking about her body, Xia Yuan simply started with her own body. After speaking, she looked at her father pleadingly.
