"Isn't that alright?" Xia Yu smiled disdainfully, "I mean, why don't you take money out of the family's foundation and think about selling the land?"
"Miss, the family's foundation is now funding a research organized by the Demon Hunter. In a short period of time, it may not be able to draw so much money for the time being."
"Sponsoring the Demon Hunter Organization? A shitty Demon Hunting Organization, is this the second sister's hand?" Xia Yu gritted her teeth, "What's the difference between sponsoring the Demon Hunter Organization and doing public welfare? This fellow Xia Jin is here again. Take the family's money in exchange for her future."
"The sponsorship is also approved by the owner," Fang Bo looked at Xia Yu carefully and explained, "Second Miss means that funding the research of the Demon Hunting Organization is a just cause, which will help improve the family's well-being. Social image. Besides, the organizational aspect will pay off.”
"Rewards? Bullshit rewards! Just the profit from the Demon Hunting Organization is called repayment, not investment return!" Xia Yu was panting with anger, she picked up the water glass on the table and gulps it down He was drinking ice water, trying to suppress his anger.
There were footsteps in the distance from the hall, and Xia Yu turned around and found that it was the second sister Xia Jin she was talking about just now.
When Xia Yu saw the second sister, she put away her anger just now.She narrowed her eyes and looked at Xia Jin who was walking towards her.
In a teasing tone, Xia Yu said to Xia Jin, "Look who this is? Isn't this a hero of mankind, a watcher of the shadows of society, our great demon hunter - Miss Xia Jin? Xia? Miss Jin didn't spend much time at home before, so I finally remembered coming back. Did you think that besides the organization, there are such things as family and relatives?"
"Big sister, what do you mean? The words are thorny, how did I offend you?" Xia Jin looked at Xia Yu indifferently.
"Where did you provoke me? Very well, I'll ask you, did you trick your mother into using the family foundation to fund your demon hunter organization?"
"First of all, it wasn't me who coaxed my mother, it was my mother who agreed after thinking about it - in other words, this is what my mother meant. What's more, I also thought about the interests of the family."
Xia Jin explained: "Funding the Demon Hunter Organization can first improve the family's social image. Second, it can form a good cooperative relationship with the Demon Hunter Organization. What's more, the organization will also give back to our investment."
After listening to Xia Jin's remarks, Xia Yu sneered and said contemptuously, "Don't use your mother's meaning to press me. What's more, what you said is meaningless. First of all, returning investment is simply a matter of Nonsense, you're not pretending to be stupid, are you? What's the difference between that little reward and the profit from a low-interest loan?"
Xia Yu glanced at Xia Jin lightly, and continued: "As for the good cooperative relationship with the Demon Hunter Organization, what is the benefit to our family? Where can we use them? What reason do the demons keep their eyes on? Our secular family?"
"In the end," Xia Yu paused, looking at Xia Jin with a deep expression on her face, "It's not the family, it's you who want to win over the Demon Hunter Organization. You're just taking the family's money and paving the way for yourself."
Xia Jin looked at Xia Yu coldly, she took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said slowly: "Since you have such an attitude, eldest sister, and you are so speculating about me, then I don't want to talk to me. What did you explain?"
After finishing speaking, Xia Jin did not intend to continue entanglement with the eldest sister on this matter.She turned around and was about to walk towards the backyard where Mother Xia was.Today, she originally planned to visit her mother who was still ill.
"It's just that you've been told, you're angry, and you have no words. I warn you, even though you are an illegitimate daughter, don't do this kind of elbow-turning for me. Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you."
After speaking, Xia Yu no longer looked at the second sister.She sat on the sofa, stretched out five fingers, lowered her eyes, and carefully observed the color of her nails.
"Recently, I'm really getting more angry, and even the color of my nails is not very healthy."
Xia Jin, who had planned to leave, was already standing there.She turned to look at the eldest sister, clenched her fists, and stared at Xia Yu on the sofa, a golden light flashed in her pupils.
Xia Jin didn't expect the eldest sister to be able to say such a thing, and her anger also rose, she argued loudly: "If you think that I am really doing it for my own selfish interests and harming the interests of the family. Then we can go to my mother now. , make things clear and let mother decide."
"Come on, mother is sick right now, don't bother her with this kind of thing. You are so inconsiderate, you don't have any filial piety." Xia Yu looked up at the angry second sister, and continued to bow her head. Playing with his nails, "Uncle Fang, can you take off the nail clippers for me?"
Seeing the two sisters fighting each other, especially the angry look of the second young lady, Fang Bo was really afraid that the two of them would fight in the living room on the spot.At this moment, he was trying to find an excuse to leave.So, he said quickly: "Then I'll find the nail clippers, Miss, wait."
After leaving the living room, Uncle Fang breathed a sigh of relief.He walked unhurriedly to the utility room to find the nail clippers in it, and he even planned to "look for a while" - anyway, since he was not there, it didn't matter to him how the two sisters wanted to quarrel.Staying in the living room by yourself will only be a dilemma, not people inside or outside.
As soon as he entered the utility room, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the direction of the living room.Needless to say, it must be the two little aunts who started to line up.
In less than a minute, the quarrel turned into a "ping-pong-pong" sound. Fang Bo heard the sound of water glasses being smashed and tables and chairs collapsing-it seemed that this time the quarrel was more intense than before.
For an elderly middle-aged man like Fang Bo, it is a very dangerous thing to participate in the battle between female superpowers.So he decided to stay in the utility room and ignore the outside world, the stormy waves that were going on.
From a personal point of view, Fang Bo actually likes the second Miss Xia Jin the most.The second lady was humble and polite, and she never gave Fang Bo and other servants a face.Moreover, as an excellent demon hunter, the second lady is jealous, brave and conscientious.
Of course, Third Miss Xia Lan is also very good.Although not as approachable as the second lady, her temperament is a little dark.But from her performance in family affairs, it can also be seen that she is a very smart and alert child - much better than her eldest sister anyway.
It's a pity that the second young lady is an illegitimate daughter—a sensitive identity like an illegitimate daughter can be said to be a disadvantage in terms of competition for family heirs.The elders in the family will have some objections.
As for Miss San, all aspects are qualified.The only regret is that the ability cannot be used.A woman who cannot use her supernatural powers, as the future head of the house, may be difficult to convince the public.
As for the eldest miss, for Fang Bo, apart from the point of sharp teeth and sharp mouth, there is really no good character to speak of.To be honest, her advantage is that compared to her two younger sisters... she is older?
If the head of the family is in good health, and the second and third young ladies are older, the competition for the family heirs may focus on these two people, and nothing to do with the eldest young lady Xia Yu.
It's a pity that God doesn't follow people's wishes. The owner of the family is running out of time now, so the eldest lady can get the tickets for this "family heir competition".
If the eldest young lady Xia Yu really became the head of the family, Fang Bo could hardly imagine what would happen to the Xia family in the future.
"I hope my Xia Kui, as the owner of the house, can make the right choice." Standing in the utility room, listening to the fighting outside, Uncle Fang thought silently.
Chapter 37 Sister Negotiation·Above
"If I lived near the Central Park in Minghai City, my daily distance to school would be much longer." Ling Yun said to Xia Lan on the phone.
"So, you haven't told me until now, which high school did you go to!" Xia Lan complained dissatisfiedly.
"Well... Yujin High School, if you take the cross-city subway from Central Park Station and walk, it usually takes four to ten minutes." Ling Yun replied.
"Four and 10 minutes... That's really a bit far. Why don't you just transfer to another school, or take a break from school for a while? If you transfer to another school, I can arrange it for you."
"Tsk...Thinking about it carefully, some children in impoverished mountainous areas need to walk for two hours to get to school. Four or ten minutes is really a trivial matter." Ling Yun said helplessly.
"Two hours? Where are you talking about?" Xia Lan asked curiously on the phone.
"...It's fine. Anyway, I'll just follow your arrangement. After all, you're my employer now."
"Will it trouble you?" Xia Lan was a little nervous.
"It's not too much trouble, it's only four or ten minutes. Isn't there a lot of people who commute to work for more than an hour?" Ling Yun said in relief, "Now is the critical period for you to compete for the heir of the family. Moving to Minghai City will affect our work. There are many advantages—at least it is convenient to protect myself."
"Furthermore, the winter vacation is coming soon, so it won't be very important." Ling Yun continued to explain.
"Okay, that's it. As for the protection of your ability user, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Xia Lan replied.
The two briefly chatted for a few more words before hanging up.
Xia Lan put the phone in her pocket and walked back to the room. Before she came to the living room, she heard the sound of fierce fighting in the living room.
When Xia Lan entered the living room, she saw the collapsed chair and the glass shards all over the floor. She said helplessly, "Hey, do you want to tear down this house?"
The two quarreling in the living room discovered Xia Lan's existence.They all looked at Xia Lan, and then looked at the mess on the ground, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"Hey, every time we meet, we have to quarrel, I really can't do anything about you..." Xia Lan lowered her head, kicked the broken glass on the ground with her foot, and shouted loudly, "Uncle Fang, please call someone to clean it up. a bit."
Xia Lan raised her head and looked at her second sister, Xia Jin. Like the eldest sister Xia Yu, she said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Second sister, during this period of time, you can think of going home."
Xia Jin looked at Xia Lan, and the eldest sister next to her, and said, "You all think too much, but my mother was seriously ill during this time, so I took more time to come back and have a look."
After listening to Xia Jin's remarks, the eldest sister Xia Yu showed a slight sneer, but she didn't say much.
"Tsk, let's go first, I still have business matters to deal with." After saying this, the eldest sister Xia Yu left the living room.
Several male servants hurried to the living room and began to clean up the mess in the living room.
Seeing that the eldest sister was gone, Xia Jin was also about to leave. She wanted to leave the place of right and wrong in the Xia family after seeing her mother, but before she could walk a few steps, she was stopped by the third sister, Xia Lan.
"Second sister, wait, let's talk, okay?"
Xia Jin turned to look at the third sister, while Xia Lan looked at the servant who was cleaning up in the living room.
"The hall is a little messy now, come talk in my room, okay?" Xia Lan said to the second sister.
After the two came to Xialan's room, Xialan pulled a chair and sat down.Seeing Xia Jin still standing, the corner of Xia Lan's mouth showed a warm smile: "Find a chair to sit on, second sister, why are you so restrained?"
After the two sat down, Xialan took out a small bottle of wine from the drawer, and said, "Do you want to drink some? It tastes good."
"No need, I'll go on a mission later, so I won't drink. Third sister, if you have something to say." Xia Jin stretched out her hand to stop Xia Lan from looking for a wine glass.
"Okay, I'll go straight to the topic," Xia Lan used the corner of her eye to notice Xia Jin's expression, and continued: "If mother is healthy, we don't need to worry about the original family heirs or even the family property. It's up to her to decide and distribute herself. But now this situation has caused the elderly in the family to ask for the selection of talents, and the mother herself agreed."
"I understand this, but I don't want to get involved in the family heir. After all, I am an illegitimate daughter. If I really run for the heir, there must be a lot of resistance in the family." Xia Jin replied.
"If you really don't want to get involved in this matter, that's the best thing," Xia Lan looked up and down her second sister Xia Jin, "The family heir is running, although mother's opinion is very important, I also know that mother likes you the most. But if it is to choose talents, the opinions of the elders in the family are the key.”
"I understand that," Xia Jin glanced at the third sister. "Between you and the eldest sister, I think the mother and the elders of the family are inclined to support you."
"It's natural," Xia Lan smiled, her expression became lazy and relaxed, "Second sister, I hope you can support me, at least don't take the position of the eldest sister and come against me. As long as you Don't interfere with my actions, and after the election is successful, I promise to give you a considerable amount of property."
"After all, we are sisters. We need to help each other, don't we? Helping me will be good for you." Xia Lan leaned closer to Xia Jin's ear and whispered.
"I don't support anyone, whether it's you or the eldest sister. I will remain neutral in the election," Xia Jin turned to look at the third sister and straightened her body, "In my opinion, this kind of election, It's stupid in itself. Sisters should not compete and criticize each other like enemies."
"If you can really stay neutral, that's the best." Xia Lan smiled.
Xia Jin looked at Xia Lan and hesitated.She thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I have something to remind you."
"What's the matter?" Xia Lan asked.
"Your new boyfriend, Ling Yun, he..." Xia Jin's tone was hesitant.
"what happened?"
"I advise you to stay away from him, he's a succubus." Xia Jin looked at the third sister faintly.
"I know, so what?" Xia Lan asked rhetorically.
"You know he's a succubus, and you're still so close to him?" Xia Jin was very surprised, "Don't you know that interacting with the demons is a violation of the demon hunting treaty?"
"Are you pretending to be stupid, second sister?" Xia Lan said contemptuously, "Among the upper-class people, whoever has some power has no secret connection with the Demon Race? You don't go to trouble with those big people, but come to embarrass yourself first. sister?"
"But that succubus named Lingyun..." Xia Jin didn't expect her sister to answer like this, and she was a little incoherent for a while, "He may have a murder case behind his back! How can you fall in love with such a person?"
"Look at what you said, let's not say whether there is a murder case on Ling Yun," Xia Lan didn't expect her sister to be able to say such naive words, and couldn't help laughing dumbly, "You don't really think that our family's Don't you have a murder case in hand? Are you planning to kill your relatives righteously and come to find out who is the murderer on the run in our family?"
"I'm only in love with the demons. The second sister doesn't need to fight the mandarin ducks. I heard that the eldest sister has been doing business with the demon organization. This is a big deal! Otherwise, you can check it out. Check her? Don't think about embarrassing my boyfriend first." Xia Lan leaned back on the chair, the contemptuous smile on her face becoming more and more presumptuous.
Xia Jin was choked by the words of her third sister, Xia Lan. She obviously knew about these things.She couldn't speak for a long time, and her face was already extremely bad.
"Ling Yun is not only my boyfriend, but also my important companion. In the family business, I need him somewhere," Xia Lan said with a smile, "So, I don't want anything to happen to Ling Yun."
"Crazy, I think you are all crazy! You are blatantly colluding with the demons, and something big will happen in the future." Xia Jin's heart was full of anger and helplessness.
"In short, including me and the eldest sister, things related to the demons. Second sister, you better not ask. If you really make trouble with this kind of thing, then the eldest sister and I can only think of you... the drunkard The intention is not to drink, is it?"
Xia Jin suddenly felt helpless.The two sisters in the family are communicating with magic.Even if he has always been hard-hearted, but he really can't do it, he will attack his relatives.
"I don't want to know about your affairs. As for the family heirs, I don't want to care, you can do whatever you like." Xia Jin stood up expressionlessly and was about to leave the room.
"Wait first and second sister, I have one last thing." Xia Lan called out Xia Jin again.
"What's the matter?" Xia Jin asked angrily.
Xia Lan looked at the second sister, stared into her eyes, and asked, "Speaking of which, I was almost killed by a demon recently. Well... the demon said that someone in the family assigned him to do this. Yes. Who do you think it will be?"
Xia Jin was a little surprised when she heard Xia Lan's words.She thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's just a trick to sow discord. Don't listen to the words of the demons. Besides, why have you never told me about this?"
"However, that Demon Race seemed very confident at the time and could let me die in the restaurant's box. He didn't have to, he made up such a lie to me, a dying person, right?"
"The restaurant's box? You're talking about what happened the day your bodyguard, Sister Liu, died? The man who died was a demon?" Xia Jin asked.
"That's what happened." Xia Lan replied, carefully observing Xia Jin's reaction.
