Chapter 426: Xia Zhenbai
"Xiaoyu. β
To be honest, until he heard this voice, Xia You still couldn't believe that this phone call was really from his father Xia Yan......
If you think about it, it seems that they haven't spoken for nearly half a year since they ran away from home.
At the beginning, Xia You could still get the living expenses sent by the other party every month.
However, I don't know when it was suddenly broken.
In this regard, Xia You was not much surprised, thinking that his father's provision of living expenses for him was discovered by the stubborn old man at home, so he cut off the assistance.
Since RE0 had been successfully published at that time, Xia You had manuscript fees, so he didn't care much about whether there was living expenses to be sent.
Gradually... I forgot about it.
It's not quite right to say that I forgot, to be precise, it should be Xia You who deliberately didn't think about it.
After all, those troubles at home always make people feel very irritable.
"......" Because he hadn't spoken for too long, for a while, Xia You was a little dry, and he didn't know what to say.
The other party seemed to be the same, and only called his name and then fell silent.
Xia You was not surprised by this. His father, Xia Yan is not a person who talks a lot, and he is a little unsmiling.
Since his mother's death a few years ago, he has spoken less and devoted himself to business with an iron-faced and ruthless image.
Only when talking to Xia You would Xia Yan smile slightly.
Because of this protracted silence, which made people a little uncomfortable, Xia You couldn't help but open his mouth.
"You called... What's the matter?" After speaking, he noticed that his tone seemed to be a little impulsive, and he felt a little annoyed.
Because it's too naΓ―ve, it feels like an awkward child.
Xia Yan didn't care about this, he was silent and said, "You... How's your body doing?"
"Rest more when you're well. His voice was so gentle and calm that if the high-level officials of the Xia Consortium heard it, I believe they would definitely be shocked.
After all, Xia Yan, who is usually in the company, has an iron face almost all the time, with an expressionless face and a cold voice, and the temperament of the superior is fully revealed.
Even those who had known him for a long time were still afraid.
"Huh......" Hearing this, Xia You couldn't help but be stunned, and then reacted, "You... Know about my illness?"
"Of course. β
The answer was decisive.
In fact, since Xia You quarreled with his grandfather and ran away in a negative mood, his life, including writing, has been concerned by the Xia family.
This is also normal.
After all, Xia You is the son of the current head of the Xia family, how could he really let him run away from home alone.
"Yes......" Xia You was slightly surprised, but he was not too surprised.
After all... Not to mention running away from home, when he used to stay in Tokyo, he was accompanied by various bodyguards even when he went out.
Xia Yan lowered his voice and said, "It's been so long since I've been away from home, it's almost time to come back, right?"
"Your grandfather was worried about you, when he found out that you were sick the other day, he was in a hurry, just... You also know that he has always had a strong temper, and he can't pull his face down and take the initiative to find you. β
"......" Listening to his father's words, Xia You was slightly silent.
Aside from the last quarrel, the stubborn old man in the family in the past has indeed been very fond of him, and he wants almost anything to satisfy.
It's just that......
"I'm not going back. Xia You refused without much hesitation, "At least, not now." β
"Is it ......" Xia Yan's tone was unexpectedly calm, as if he had expected to be rejected.
In fact, it is.
Xia Yan said lightly: "Is it because of what was written?"
"Or is it because of those girls?"
Hearing this, Xia You was a little helpless, his every move was obviously seen clearly, and he was not surprised.
So he nodded, "Perhaps... It's both!"
"Anyway, I don't want to go home so soon!"
Not to mention Ayase, there is also the affairs of the club, at the moment, Nishikino Mahime alone is enough to make Xia You not want to leave.
He had just dated this girl, and he hadn't even spoken properly, and he didn't want to turn into a long-distance relationship all of a sudden.
So even if the other party doesn't agree, Xia You has to fight.
However, to his surprise, Xia Yan's response was actually neat.
"Okay, I see. β
"Excuse me... Agreed?" Xia You couldn't help but be stunned.
Xia Yan asked rhetorically, "Will you come back if I don't agree?"
"......" Xia You was speechless.
Indeed, if Daddy disagrees, he is ready to try his best to convince the other party.
If persuasion fails, think of another way.
In a word... Never go back.
"I was much the same when I was younger, I didn't want to stay at home, I always wanted to go out. Xia Yan said a rare thing about the past, "It's just... The family needs me, so I can't help it. β
Immediately, he changed his words, "But now it's different, you don't need to worry about your family, you can go out and do what you want to do." β
"Because... I'm here. β
Having said that, despite some control, Xia Yan still couldn't hide a trace of domineering, and naturally showed the majesty of the superior.
Xia You listened to it, and he couldn't help but be moved, but he wouldn't show it, he was too ashamed.
Just as he was about to say something, Daddy's words changed again, "Of course, it's not without a price for letting you stay outside." β
"The price?" Xia You felt a little bad.
He really wanted to hang up the phone directly, but he was afraid that the consequences would be serious, and he might be arrested directly.
Therefore, Xia You had no choice but to be patient and said, "...... Tell me first, at what cost?"
"Your sister will transfer to you in September, and you will take care of her. Xia Yan said lightly.
"Excuse me...... Sister?" Hearing this, Xia You couldn't help but be stunned, the first thing he thought of about the word "sister" was Ayase.
But obviously, the other party is not talking about the little angel, otherwise he would not talk about transferring to another school, and taking care of her and the like.
Thinking about it this way, that sister can only be ......
"Shiina is white. "She is the daughter brought by Ryoko Shiina, the new wife of Xia You's father, who is not her own, but adopted, and treats her as a daughter, and even her surname is used.
However, now that Ryoko Shiina is married to the Xia family, as a daughter, she may be called Xia Zhenbai.
In short, she is the cheap sister that Xia You said.
At the grand wedding banquet half a year ago, Xia You met her.
How to put it, it's a very ethereal, or rather hollow, anyway... A very peculiar girl, expressionless throughout the whole process.
Although she called Brother Xia You, she looked like she was calling a stranger, which was unpleasant.
Of course, it is also possible that he read it wrong, or that his memory was affected by emotions and had a certain deviation.
After all, at that time, Xia You was very angry about Xia Yan marrying another, thinking that it was a betrayal of his mother, and he didn't like that stepmother very much, and he even hated Shiina Mashiro.
Now that I calm down and think about it, maybe it's a good kid or not.
Of course, having said that, it is still impossible to ask Xia You to take care of her.
