Chapter 12: Request

"Big brother, you still haven't said why you came over so early in the morning? At this time, shouldn't you be at work?" Xia Yue looked at Xia Yu and said.

"Ah, can I ask you for a favor, big brother?" Xia Yu sighed, looking at Xia Yue as he spoke.

"What's the matter?" Xia Yue asked.

"I came home last night, and Xiaoxi had a fight with the folks and Xiaoqing. Xiaoxi was very upset and wanted to move out. She thought if everyone is going to fight while living together, it's better if we separate." Xia Yu said to Xia Yue, explaining last night's events.

Then he whistled on: "But Xiaoxi has suffered so much. If we let her move out like that, it would hurt her even more.

"She is in a hurry to move, and I can't find a nice house in a jiffy. I am thinking of your place where there are spare rooms, can she stay for a few days? And I'll find her a good place within those few days where she can move in. Would it be convenient for you?"

Finishing saying this, Xia Yu looked at Xia Yue, waiting for her response.

Xia Yue pondered. It did not seem too much of a problem. In the past, when she stayed at the old house for three days, she rarely spoke, but she did not interfere much in other people's lives.

"No problem. But as you know, I am quite lazy. I don't keep fixed times for meals or getting up. As long as she doesn't wake me up in the morning and can look after her own meals, she can move in and stay for a few days." Xia Yue nodded and said.

"Thank you, Yueyue. I owe you one this time," Xia Yu said with a smile since she had agreed.

"Just let me know when she is moving in." said Xia Yue.

"I will bring her over this afternoon. I fear if she stays for another day, Mom, Dad, Xiaoqing and she might tear the house down." Xia Yu said.

"That's fine. I shouldn't be going out today." Xia Yue nodded.

"Alright then. I will leave now and go back to help her pack." Xia Yu nodded, stood up and left with a smile.

"Okay." Xia Yue said and accompanied him to leave the villa.

Just as Xia Yu was leaving the villa district, he crossed paths with a car entering the area. He gave a casual glance and did not notice much before leaving.

Not five minutes after she entered the door, the doorbell rang again.

"This time, it should be him" thought Xia Yue. She looked through the door's window and saw two men, one sitting in a wheelchair, another standing and wearing black clothes like a bodyguard.

Xia Yue immediately opened the door and greeted them with a smile, "Good morning. Are you Yan Mo, our senior, by any chance?"

"I am Yan Mo." Yan Mo, sitting in the wheelchair, took in Xia Yue. She looked just like the photo on the information he had.

"Hello, please come in." Xia Yue looked at Yan Mo sitting in the wheelchair, a sign of surprise flashed across her eyes, but then she stepped aside, welcoming them with a smile.

Yan Mo, along with the man, came in and Xia Yue closed the door behind them.

"Please, this way." Xia Yue invited them in and leading the way.

After they entered, Xia Yue asked them to sit on the living room sofa. Yan Mo sat in his wheelchair, and the man took a seat on the sofa next to him.

Xia Yue took a seat on a sofa a bit away from them.

"Miss Xia Yue, you said that you had something very important to discuss with me. May I ask what that is?" Yan Mo looked at Xia Yue and straightforwardly asked.

"Er, may I ask a few questions first?" Xia Yue looked at the man, and then back at Yan Mo in his wheelchair.

"Please go ahead." Yan Mo briefly responded.

"Who is this gentleman? Can he be trusted? Can you contact the higher-ups? Ideally, someone in a position just slightly below the top." Xia Yue asked while looking at Yan Mo.

"His name is Chen Bin, deputy captain of my team and very reliable. I can contact the person you've mentioned," with a frown, Yan Mo replied.
