Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 216 - 215 Missing

Moreover, when the man was young, he said he didn’t want children, but when middle age came, he changed his mind and wanted them, which might cause marital problems by then.

Xia Xiao was deep in thought when she heard a familiar voice, "Mingyan, you haven’t been home for several days now."

She looked over and saw Sun Yuqi, Sun Yuhua’s brother, arguing with a female doctor in a white coat.

"Sun Yuqi, I’m at work. What are you making a fuss about?" The female doctor glared at Sun Yuqi with displeasure.

"Of course, I know you’re at work, but you haven’t been home for days. And you’re neglecting our child, what’s going on?" Sun Yuqi was also visibly dissatisfied.

"I’ve already told you I’m staying late. The hospital has patients I need to take care of." The female doctor shrugged off Sun Yuqi with an air of rejecting his approach. Sun Yuqi, enraged, said, "My father has been hospitalized for so long, and as a daughter-in-law, you barely visited him, and you don’t take care of the child at home. Is this how you should act?"

"It’s not like mom isn’t there, and dad is fine now, isn’t he? Why the fuss? This is a hospital. I have surgery to do later. Please be quiet, or else I’ll have to ask someone to remove you." The female doctor finished speaking and walked away.

Frustrated, Sun Yuqi kicked the base of the wall and stomped off. However, on his way out, he passed by Xia Xiao, gave her a glance, and was surprised for a moment. He looked like he wanted to say something to Xia Xiao but, probably recalling the argument she had witnessed, he walked away.

Xia Xiao had a considerable disdain for Sun Yuhua’s older brother in her heart. Seeing this confirmed to her that Sun Yuqi and his wife were having marital problems, but Xia Xiao didn’t care much about his gaze.

After a while, Xia Fei and Azati had finished their checkups and followed Xia Xiao back to Wang Jinying’s place.

Entering Wang Jinying’s hospital room, there were quite a few people—students. Xia Wei said, "They’re my mom’s students. They’ve already found the person who pushed my mom down the stairs. It was a female teacher from the next class, jealous that my mom is chosen as an outstanding teacher every year."

Xia Xiao was speechless, "Where is that female teacher now?"

"She’s inside, apologizing to my mom," Xia Wei nodded toward the room.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to the Xia family home, they encountered Zhao Yan obviously unable to enter, so she waited outside.

Seeing Xia Xiao, Li Wenjuan, Xia Fei, and Azati return, Zhao Yan ignored Li Wenjuan and Xia Xiao and directly addressed Xia Fei, "Sister, you’re back. Why didn’t you tell me? If it wasn’t for grandma, I wouldn’t have known." freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Yanzi, didn’t you see Aunt Xiao and Xiaoxiao?" Xia Fei frowned a bit at Zhao Yan’s disregard for others.

"The Xia family doesn’t acknowledge me, so why should I acknowledge them?" Zhao Yan said indignantly.

"But I am also from the Xia family, so what are you doing coming to me?" Xia Fei asked.

"That’s different. You’re my sister," Zhao Yan stated.

Xia Xiao sneered inwardly, then said to Li Wenjuan, "Mom, let’s go inside."

Li Wenjuan nodded. She didn’t want to deal with Zhao Yan either, not wanting to stoop to her level.

Soon after, the two sisters outside began arguing. In the end, Xia Fei and Azati entered the house, leaving Zhao Yan outside, yelling loudly. Xia Xiao even heard Zhao Yan accusing Xia Fei of being cold-blooded and ruthless, which left her speechless.

"What is she shouting about?" Mrs. Xia asked as soon as Xia Fei entered the room.

"She wanted me to go with her to see our mom, but I didn’t agree," Xia Fei explained. Their mom had remarried, and apparently, the husband’s family didn’t like her mother interacting with her family’s side. The last time she came back, Xia Fei actually did see Zhao Xiaolan, but besides crying about her unhappy lot and calling her hard-hearted, Zhao Xiaolan had nothing else to say.

Actually, Xia Fei didn’t want to see Zhao Xiaolan. Her mother knew where she was and would have written her a letter if she really wanted to, but she never did.

With such tenuous mother-daughter ties and recalling the time when they sent Zhao Xiaolan down to the countryside, the fact that she had chosen Xia Fei without hesitation, without even a second thought, made Xia Fei feel even colder.

Mrs. Xia didn’t say anything. She couldn’t find the words to advise Xia Fei to visit Zhao Xiaolan. The Zhao family adopting out Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan was a harsh blow to the Xia family’s face; even making sure Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan cut ties with their side. Mrs. Xia didn’t really want Xia Fei to have contact with them, mainly because they weren’t good people on that side.

Xia Xiao broke the stiff silence, "Sister Xiao Fei, when are you heading back?"

Xia Fei replied, "I’m going back on the fourth day of the new year."

Mrs. Xia nodded, "When the time comes, go to the train station with Xiaoxiao. She’s also going back on the fourth."

Xia Xiao gave an awkward smile, wanting to say she needed to leave earlier, but with Zhao Yan just having made a scene and Mrs. Xia possibly not in a good mood, it wasn’t a good time to mention it.

Maybe she would bring it up on the second or third day of the new year. She actually wanted to visit Gao Jiaxing, so she would need to leave earlier.

It had been a year since she last saw Gao Jiaxing, and Xia Xiao was missing him a bit. She wondered how Gao Jiaxing was doing in the military, whether he had gotten tan or thinner.
