After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

"Okay! This is no problem. You tell me what materials you need. I will also find a professional handicraft team to do it. Then you can just guide me. I will definitely ask these teams to sign confidentiality agreements. Don't worry. !”

Luo Yingqiao vowed, the joy in her eyebrows almost overflowing.

After eating and drinking, Luo Yingqiao sent Xia Taozhi home.

"If a big star sends me back, I will be treated like no one else." She half-joked.

"Don't make trouble. If I don't send you back, if you fall or bump into something on the road, won't your Han Xiao cook me and eat it?"

Luo Yingqiao said seriously, "I am full of desire to survive."

"Yes, yes, full of desire to survive."

The night is quiet and the time is brisk and beautiful.

The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

At the same time, in another corner of the city.

Xia family.

The room was gloomy and everyone looked heavy. Xia Qianqian knelt beside the bed, already crying into tears.

Mr. Xia's body couldn't hold on any longer.

He has been lingering on the sick bed for many days, and finally the day has come when the oil is exhausted.

"Xia, Xia Rui is here?" He was already delirious and talking nonsense.

Xia Qianqian's eyes were red: "Grandpa, my little aunt can't come..."

"Ah, I, I saw Xia Rui. Miss Ruirui...she is really like a fairy. She is as noble as gold. Compared with her, you are not a daughter of a famous family. You are not worthy of carrying her shoes."

He kept mumbling and chanting Xia Rui's name.

Outside the house, the housekeeper came to report: "Old man, Miss Lian is here."

Mr. Xia's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up: "Xia Lian, Xia Lian... let her in quickly, I want to see her, you all get out, get out!!"

The old man almost jumped out of bed.

Xia Qianqian: "Grandpa, don't worry, aunt is coming."

Mr. Xia didn't seem to know her. He didn't listen to anyone and insisted on meeting Xia Lian alone.

There was no way, everyone was kicked out.

Outside the door, Xia Lian walked up the steps.

Seeing people at the door of the room, she understood what was going on without asking.

Xia Qianqian took two steps forward: "Aunt, grandpa wants to see you, just wants to see you... He is very bad, the doctor said, said..."

She choked with sobs and couldn't speak any more.

Xia Lian waved her hand: "I understand, you all go to the living room and wait."

Xia Lian is the real person in charge of the Xia family. When she speaks, no one dares to disobey her.

Everyone filed downstairs and waited quietly.

Xia Qianqian turned back three times with one step and watched Xia Lian's figure disappear from the door of the room.

In the room, Mr. Xia sat beside the bed, breathing heavily.

Several orange lights were on, illuminating the whole room very warmly and brightly.

Xia Lian looked at him, her eyes as calm as water.

"Can't you hold on this time?" She said slowly, "If there are other treatment options, I can help you."

Mr. Xia waved his hands with a wry smile: "Forget it, it's boring."

"I thought you came to me because you wanted me to save you."

"You have helped me a lot. Without the Xia family, I would be nothing at all." He said, coughing twice violently and gasping deeply, "I know I don't have much time, so I want to Let me ask you, what are you going to do next?”

"You want to ask what will happen to the bloodline you left behind after you die?"

Xia Lian's eyes were deep, "I won't kill them all. As long as they stay safe and don't do anything that harms the Xia family's face and interests, I will guarantee that they will be rich and noble for the rest of their lives."

After hearing these words, Mr. Xia was relieved.

He raised his eyes and looked deeply at Xia Lian: "When you asked me to pretend to be your father, I didn't pay attention to a young woman like you at all. I thought... I could take your place, all the way. I also made a lot of preparations, but it turned out that everything was just what I thought. In fact, you have seen through these little tricks of mine."

"Of course, since I can come to you, I must have thought of other possibilities and countermeasures."

Xia Lian walked to the sofa in front of Mr. Xia and sat down.

The dark purple cheongsam with embroidery on her looks calm and majestic, complementing her cool temperament and noble bearing.

Mr. Xia stared at her: "You are really not my child, and I can't give birth to a child as good as you. It's a pity that I'm not your real father. My bloodline still accounts for the name of your Xia family, and... It also cost you a lot of money.”

"There's no need to talk about these nonsense. I believe you didn't want to see me alone when you came back to your senses. That's not what you wanted to talk about."

She interrupted coldly, "You don't have much time, so hurry up."

Mr. Xia lowered his eyelids.

His hands were shaking slightly.

"There's something I haven't told you all this time, and I have to say it today. I can't take this into the coffin."

He gritted his teeth and took out a letter from the secret compartment of the bedside table.

"This was sent by Xia Rui back then. I hid it after I discovered it."

Xia Lian's pupils tightened and her breathing froze.

"When did this happen?"

"A few years after she left home, you were busy abroad at that time and were not at home at all. I took it upon myself to...intercept this letter. I later realized that I had done something wrong, but as you became stronger and stronger, I dare not and cannot take it out.”

Mr. Xia smiled bitterly, "I'm on my deathbed now, and I can't be so selfish anymore. You can hate me and complain about me, even if you crush me to ashes after my death, it doesn't matter. I just ask you... give me Leave a way for my children to live! You can tell them all about their life experiences after I die. I... just want them to live well. "

Looking at the old man in front of her, Xia Lian had very complicated emotions.

For so many years, she has been forcibly suppressing this old man.

She knows the other party's ambitions and what the other party wants to do.

But when it came to this moment, she was still moved - it turned out that Mr. Xia was also someone who couldn't let go of his children.

I have been strong all my life and am used to being domineering.

At this moment, he would also fold his arms, just to trade with her for a stable life for his children and grandchildren.

Xia Lian stared at him coldly and slowly took the letter.

"I see."

She gets up to leave.

Mr. Xia was a little anxious: "Xia Lian! I beg you... I only have this wish!"

She didn't look back: "I didn't even pay attention to you in the past, let alone your blood. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke me and the people I protect, I won't care about them. The things you gave them back then, I don’t care about it either. After your death, I will be on equal footing with them."

The door opened and Xia Lian left.

Mr. Xia was left alone and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xia Lian returned home by car.

She shut herself in her room and held the letter carefully.

Finally, she broke the seal.
