Chapter 10: And Other Information
"Don't worry, it's just several dozen hours, let's wait a bit longer, haste makes waste." Xia Yue calmed it down.
Two hours later, Yan Mo finished his checks and recovery, then reassured his family that he was fine before returning to his room.
It wasn't until a while later that he remembered Xia Yue's request.
He picked up his phone, accepted Xia Yue's request, and casually sent her a question mark.
Xia Yue received a phone notification, picked it up, and was surprised to see that Yan Mo had agreed to her request so quickly.
"Here it is, I'll reply to him first." Xia Yue told the system as she typed her reply to Yan Mo.
Yuexia Touxian: Hi there, Senior Yan Mo. I'm thrilled that you agreed. What I have to discuss with you may seem a bit bizarre, but please trust me, everything I say is true. Because it's quite outlandish, I think we should talk at my place or anywhere you choose. You should be able to look up my information and verify that I'm not a bad person.
Yuexia Touxian: I hope you can respond to me before midnight tonight. Thank you.
After sending the message, she nervously stared at her phone. To be honest, it would be strange if she wasn't anxious.
After all, this is the man of her dreams.
Looking at the message Xia Yue had sent, Yan Mo had a feeling that she was trying to say something, but in a roundabout way.
Yan Mo: I'll message you at 10 PM tonight.
Yuexia Touxian: Sounds good!
Yan Mo then called someone to start investigating Xia Yue.
"We'll see if he believes me or not. If he doesn't show up, we'll have to figure something else out." Xia Yue discussed with the system.
[You've worked hard, host.] Seeing her desperately working towards her goal, the system stopped pestering her.
When it hit six o'clock, not wanting to cook, Xia Yue decided to order takeout.
At eight o'clock, while she was gaming, her phone rang. She saw that it was a video call from her older brother.
"Hi, big brother, how's your evening?" Xia Yue answered, greeting him with a smile.
"Evening, Yueyue. Have you eaten?" Xia Yu asked, seeing her hair loosely tied up, knowing she had been lazing around at home all day.
"I have, and you?" Xia Yue replied with a smile.
"I just had a meal with a client, I'm on my way home." Xia Yu responded.
"Must have been a tough day, big brother. How's everything back home?" Xia Yue asked.
"Xiaoqing and Xiaoxi had an argument yesterday, they're not getting along." Xia Yu groaned, recalling the incident. Zhuang Xi was generally quiet, but when she spoke, she was rather sharp and always had a point. Xia Qing was no match for her.
He didn't understand why their parents were siding with Xia Qing.
Just yesterday, he had taken Zhuang Xi to get her name changed, along with some other stuff, and shopping for clothes.
That's the reason he hadn't called Xia Yue.
"Who won?" Xia Yue stifled a laugh, eager for the gossip.
"Xiaoxi won and made Xiaoqing cry," Xia Yu responded.
"So, big sister met her match, huh?" Xia Yue said, chuckling.
"Don't rub salt in the wound, I'm already frustrated. I heard from Auntie that they argued again today." Xia Yu still couldn't grasp why his sisters could dislike each other so much.
"Big brother, you know big sister's temperament. She's always competitive with a strong sense of pride. Xia Xi got the shares from Grandma which she had her heart set on. Big sister did a lot to get those shares, but to no avail.
Seeing Xia Xi achieve that so easily, she's bound to be unhappy. It's a relief they didn't come to blows." Xia Yue shared her thoughts with Xia Yu.
Xia Yu agreed reluctantly with Xia Yue's words, but he couldn't help but worry as the quarrels continued. His sisters were both favourited by their parents. Plus, Xia Xi had endured so much hardship outside.
