Chapter 817: adopt
Chapter 817 Adoption
Xiao Shaohui’s mood is very complicated.
Xia Moyan's mood was also very complicated. He had calculated everything, but he had not considered that Li Lei, a shameless person, would use Go to flatter his father. This...how should I put it? Flies don't bite seamless eggs?
He looked at his father with a look of indifference. This old man must have defected before the battle, and the little guy Shao Hui is not reliable either. To save his sister's happiness for the rest of her life, it seemed that he could only count on himself and his mother.
He glanced at Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia was holding Xia Ling's hand affectionately and talking. The two of them had started talking about how difficult it is for a woman to work alone outside to the recent fashion trends in the fashion industry. As they chatted, Xia Ling Thinking of something, he asked Arnold to hand over another thing in the travel bag: "Mom, look at this satin. It is a craft that is about to be lost in Northern Europe. Li Lei specially asked someone to make it for you. Listen. You said you like gardenias, and you specifically ordered them to be dyed in this color..."
"Really? It's so beautiful. This pattern and color are so special. I've never seen anything similar. Xiao Lei is really filial." Mrs. Xia's eyes lit up and she called Li Lei by his nickname.
Xia Moyan couldn't bear to look directly at it. It was over, and his own mother had also fallen.
Xiao Shaohui silently hid away from his uncle who was under pressure. Woo hoo hoo, his uncle's face looked really scary.
Holding the newly acquired chess equipment and the remaining chess records, Chief Xia invited Li Lei into the inner room to discuss their chess skills. Mrs. Xia took Xia Ling's hand and walked in: "Come, mom will decorate the room for you. See if you like it."
Xia Ling smiled and said, "Mom's arrangements are all good."
The mother and daughter also went in affectionately.
Xiao Shaohui and Xia Moyan were left behind, looking at each other in silence.
They... seem to have been forgotten?
Shao Hui ran to the luggage bag with his short legs and raised his head to look at Arnold: "Uncle Arnold, have your parents prepared a gift for me?" he asked expectantly.
The sturdy man squatted down and said with a smile: "Young Master, of course. Both the Young Master and Miss Ye are thinking about you."
He took out several things from the bag, including toy guns, toy cars, remote-controlled model airplanes, etc., which dazzled the little boy. Shao Hui cheered: "I know my parents are the best!"
Over there, Xia Moyan's expression became even colder.
Xiao Shaohui quickly fell silent and looked at his uncle cautiously, like a child who had done something wrong. After a while, seeing that his uncle did not continue to be aggressive, he asked with a wink: "Uncle Arnold, did dad also bring a gift to uncle?"
Arnold smiled, took out another thing from his luggage bag, stood up, and handed it to Xia Moyan respectfully: "Master Imperial Master, I heard that you like to drink tea, so I went to the only remaining place in the world with my own hands. Please try the new leaves from a Jiuzhuan old mountain white tea tree to see if they suit your taste.”
Xia Moyan took it, but his face didn't look better.
Do these people think he is the same as those unreliable parents and the stupid kid Shaohui? He can't be bought with just a gift, huh.
“Chief Haichao, take them to the guest room to rest.” He ordered.
Besides, Xia Haichao, who was taking Xia Ling and others up the mountain, hurriedly responded and said to Arnold, Father Ye, and Aunt Liu: "Everyone, you have worked hard to come all the way, please come with me."
Just now, Aunt Liu and Father Ye were a little stunned by the scene where the Xia family recognized their relatives. Aunt Liu's eyes were even more dazzled by the precious gifts taken out of the luggage bag. At this time, Aunt Liu, who had come back to her senses, stopped: "I said, Arnold, your young master didn't prepare any gifts for me? Don't forget, Lao Ye and I are Xiao Ling's real parents!" A Nuo said honestly: "The young master is not prepared."
Actually, Li Lei originally wanted to prepare. No matter what, the Ye family will be Xia Ling's parents in this life.
But she was stopped by Xia Ling. She said, "Have I done little for them over the years? I haven't seen them treat me as family. They didn't tell me how many times they sold me. They even asked me for money when I came to Xia's house. Anyway, I have already given them 30,000 yuan this time. If it is converted into a meeting gift, it is not bad among their neighbors. You don’t need to give more, so as to save them from getting addicted to asking for money, and it will be more natural in the future.”
She has taken over Ye Xingling's body, but she has repaid kindness with kindness in recent years and has received a lot of rewards, so she cannot let it go on forever. From now on, if the Ye family has major events such as birth, old age, illness, and death, she will of course help take care of them, but she is not a fool. She will not give in if it is obvious that she is being bullied or taken advantage of.
Li Lei laughed at her because she was a little girl, and he will retaliate.
She was so angry that she even bit him: "What's wrong with me? I just want to retaliate?"
Li Lei comforted her for a long time.
So, this time classmate Li Xiaolei obeyed his wife’s instructions and prepared nothing for the Ye family. He also told Arnold that if the Ye family acted recklessly, don’t be too polite.
Hearing Arnold say "no", Aunt Liu was very angry: "What's going on? How come there is no more? You must be corrupt, right?! Mr. Li loves my daughter so much that he won't prepare nothing for me!" "
Arnold was secretly despised in his heart. Now he remembered that Miss Ye was her "daughter"?
I have never seen this family treat Miss Ye as their daughter!
But in his heart he was filled with contempt, and on the surface, his good upbringing kept him silent.
On the side, Xia Haichao couldn't see it and coughed lightly: "There is something that I should take this opportunity to talk about. Mr. Ye, Ms. Liu, I invite you here this time not just to let Miss Ling recognize me as a godfather." Mom, I hope to adopt Miss Ling to the Xia family. From now on, Miss Ling will be the daughter of the Xia family and has nothing to do with the Ye family. "
“What?!” Father Ye and Aunt Liu said in unison, shocked.
Xia Haichao was originally ordered to deal with this matter. At this time, he made up his mind to deal with the Ye family: "In three days, the clan will hold a return ceremony for Miss Ling. By then, I hope the two of them can cooperate to complete the adoption."
"Don't even think about it!" Aunt Liu was the first to refuse, "You have a pretty good idea, huh? A group of people from a poor ravine thought they were great after being lucky enough to pick up Xiao Ling's son? Are you going to fight with us? Is a big star like Jia Xiaoling getting married? What a dream! Let me tell you, that girl wants to break away from us, so go ahead and dream!"
Her spittle was about to hit Xia Haichao's face.
Xia Haichao took out a white tissue and wiped his face without hesitation, and said: "Ms. Liu, even if you object again, this matter will not change. Our Xia family does not want to commit murder, but this does not mean that we Don’t kill anyone.”
“What…what do you mean?” Aunt Liu was stunned.
Xia Haichao smiled slightly: "Do you still remember the mountain road when we came here? I was able to throw you down the mountain without anyone noticing on the way. It is not impossible to do the same now."
