Chapter 61: Han Yuan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the other end of the line, Xia Wanyuan did not expect Xia Yu to address her as sister.
It had been a long time since she had heard this form of address. The word ‘sister’ seemed to tug at her heartstrings. She had flipped through China’s history in the past few days but had not found the Xia Dynasty. The country and her relatives in her memory had not left any traces in China’s history.
Although the Yuan Emperor could already hold his own before he left, his mother would worry about him when he traveled a thousand miles. His eldest sister was like his mother. Sometimes, she would remember how her family and friends were doing in another s.p.a.ce-time.
After a moment of daze, Xia Wanyuan got down to business.
Xia Wanyuan had contacted Xia Yu mainly to ask if Han Yuan had called him.
In the evening, her phone suddenly rang with an unfamiliar number. She thought that it was a hara.s.sment call, so she did not answer. The phone rang repeatedly in a hurry. When Xia Wanyuan took the phone, a sharp female voice came through.
“Xia Wanyuan, are you happy that you caused your father to go bankrupt?”
Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly as she searched for the owner of the voice in her mind—Han Yuan, who was younger than Father Xiaby twenty years.
“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
To Han Yuan’s surprise, Xia Wanyuan, who usually either mocked or shouted at her, was very calm today. In fact, she was very calm.
“Pfft, Xia Wanyuan, don’t put on airs. We’re going to be poor soon. See you at Suns.h.i.+ne Restaurant 405 tomorrow at ten o’clock. If you don’t come, then wait for me to tell everyone that you drugged Jun s.h.i.+ling.”
Even on the phone, when Jun s.h.i.+ling was mentioned, Han Yuan still felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.
Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, but Han Yuan knew that she would definitely come.
Putting down her phone, Han Yuan smiled smugly. At least this money-losing Xia Wanyuan had some benefits.
Han Yuan had never gotten along with Xia Wanyuan, yet she had taken the initiative to call today. Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment and knew what Han Yuan was up to.
The original owner of the body was just an arrogant little miss who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. If there was anything of value to the Xia family now, it would be Jun s.h.i.+ling.
Xia Wanyuan’s eyes turned cold. Hooking up with Father Xiawhile the original owner’s mother was sick was enough to prove that Han Yuan was up to no good.
Since Han Yuan had taken the initiative to send herself to her, it was good to see what Han Yuan was doing.
In the live-stream, Xia Yu picked up his phone again and his fair hands appeared on the screen.
[ d.a.m.n, your brother’s hand is really beautiful. ]
[ Brother, can you call me Sister again? ]
Xia Yu was a little unhappy as he looked at all the ‘younger brother’s on the screen.
“Don’t call me little brother. Call me big brother. If you call me little brother, it’s like you’re calling me a noob.”
The arrogant tone at the end of the sentence made one want to rub the head of the person who spoke.
[?????]
[??? Okay, Brother. ]
[ Little brother is too arrogant. ]
[ You called her sister just now. Why can’t we call you brother? ]
The game had already begun and Xia Yu entered the loading screen. He took some time out to look at the comments. “Only my sister can call me younger brother. All of you can only call me older brother.”
[????????????]
[???????]
[???? I admit that I’m jealous. ]
[ Who is your sister? I want to fight her. If I win, her brother will be mine! ]
Xia Yu was never a person who would try to please his fans. Hearing Xia Yu’s obvious straightforward words, Su Mei felt a little worried for him.
Normally, when someone was doted on as a younger brother, they would take the opportunity to reciprocate the feelings of their fans. However, Xia Yu had said what was on his mind.
However, these straight men clearly could not understand the strange and cute points of women in this era. Although Xia Yu scolded them one after another and did not please the fans, the popularity of the live-stream kept rising and the number of subscribers kept increasing.
The number of fans who were screaming in the comments also increased.
“Young Master, it’s a little strange.” The a.s.sistant handed the doc.u.ment to Xuan Sheng fearfully.
Xuan Sheng was lying on a s.p.a.cious chair with a beautiful woman in his arms. The beautiful woman’s slender fingers were drawing circles on his chest.
“What’s wrong?” Xuan Sheng grabbed the beauty’s hand and gently kissed it, causing the beauty to smile charmingly.
“Miss Xia’s information has started to become blurred since five years ago. In the past five years, other than being able to find her public tracks, her private tracks should have been deliberately erased.”
The a.s.sistant did not dare to look at the lively scene in front of him and could only lower his head. He also found it very strange.
“We’ve sent people to follow Miss Xia these few days, but there’s an invisible force protecting her, so we’ve always lost her.”
“Oh?” Xuan Sheng, who had his head buried in the beauty’s neck, looked up when he heard this. He took the doc.u.ments from his a.s.sistant and found them more and more interesting.
The Xuan family was one of the top aristocratic families in Beijing. Naturally, its power could not be underestimated.
If they could stop the Xuan family’s movements and prevent others from finding the source, then the power behind them was tremendous.
“Young Master Xuan, who is Miss Xia? Hmph, is she as pretty as me?” The beauty, who had not waited for Xuan Sheng to caress her for a long time, climbed onto Xuan Sheng’s shoulders unhappily and kissed his earlobe. Her tone was coquettish.
She thought that her coquettish behavior would be pacified as usual, but Xuan Sheng pushed her away.
“Aiyo!” The beauty was already leaning on Xuan Sheng. This push made her lose her strength and fall to the ground. The beauty looked at Xuan Sheng in grievance and shock.
“The difference between you is like heaven and earth.” There was no gentleness in Xuan Sheng’s peach blossom-shaped eyes. The words that came out of his thin lips made one’s heart turn cold.
After Xuan Sheng finished speaking, he strode away and did not even spare a glance at the beautiful woman on the ground.
The beauty watched Xuan Sheng leave and clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes were filled with humiliation.
Knowing that a mysterious force was backing Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng’s interest in her increased instead of decreasing.
What was the point of sending herself to him? Such a beautiful woman had aroused Xuan Sheng’s endless desire to conquer her. If he could not find any concrete information, how could he get close to her?
Xuan Sheng looked at the doc.u.ments for a while and finally had an idea. He made a call.
The next day, in the Suns.h.i.+ne Restaurant, Han Yuan gently touched her stomach. There was no motherly love in her eyes. Instead, it was filled with impetuous hostility.
Seeing that it was already half-past ten, Han Yuan’s calmness turned into panic. Was that good-for-nothing really not planning to come?
Han Yuan looked towards the door. Xia Wanyuan was nowhere to be seen until 10: 45 pm.
Han Yuan finally lost her patience. Picking up her phone, she called Xia Wanyuan for the twentieth time that day.
The previous phone call had never been picked up before. Unexpectedly, it was picked up this time. At the same time, the melodious ringtone of her phone sounded at the door of the room.
Han Yuan looked up and met a pair of cold eyes.
