Chapter 147: Chapter 147 The Origin of Xia Yi

"What are you thinking about?" An Ran, seeing Su Luo’s strange reaction, suddenly asked.

Without thinking, Su Luo blurted out, "I was wondering, being a secretary with nothing to do..." The words had barely left his mouth when Su Luo regretted them, wasn’t this equivalent to flirting with An Ran?

In unfamiliar situations, making such jokes could easily be taken as offensive by girls.

Surprisingly, An Ran just blushed shyly and gave him a glance, saying, "You have a dirty mind!"

She wasn’t angry?

Su Luo was somewhat surprised.

However, in Su Luo’s view, even if An Ran were a peerless beauty capable of bringing disaster to the country, he only saw her as a little sister and nothing more.

He had no other untoward thoughts.

Therefore, Su Luo didn’t continue on this topic and instead said, "An Ran, I came to you because I want to ask about some things regarding the Jinling Xia Family."

"Ask whatever you want," An Ran was about to beat her chest in assurance, but then she thought that Su Luo might prefer someone with a figure like Aunt Cui, so she restrained the impulse and said.

Su Luo’s focus wasn’t on that, so he didn’t notice An Ran’s odd behavior. He asked, "How strong is the Jinling Xia Family?"

"The Jinling Xia Family, their strength is not..." An Ran started to say their strength wasn’t anything special.

But as the words reached her lips, she realized she shouldn’t judge from her perspective. She corrected herself, "The Jinling Xia Family, in all of Jinling, is undoubtedly the number one family. As far as I know, they should have one Great Grandmaster and two Grandmasters! However, the information I have might not be completely accurate, but its truthfulness should still be above ninety percent."

One Great Grandmaster!

Two Grandmasters!

This was equivalent to the existence of a family with three Grandmasters!

Could a single Jinling Xia Family really be this formidable?

Compared to Jinling, Su Luo felt that they in Jiangbei were truly behind!

But that wasn’t the point.

Su Luo then asked, "Then about the Jinling Xia Family... never mind, can you get me a list of the young women from the Xia Family?"

An Ran looked suspicious, "What do you want the Xia Family’s list of young women for?"

Su Luo cleared his throat, "Just wanted to get to know them a bit."

An Ran looked at Su Luo, silent for a moment, then huffily said, "No, I won’t give it to you!"

And then, she turned around and walked away.

Su Luo was stunned.

So, where had he offended An Ran?

But, ten minutes later, An Ran came back, handed Su Luo a list, and said with a grin, "Here, this is the list of Jinling Xia Family women from eighteen to thirty years of age, legitimate and illegitimate, married and unmarried, good-looking and not-so-good-looking, they are all on there!"

"Take a look, see which one catches your eye. Maybe, I could still figure out a way to set you up!"

Yet, by the end, there seemed to be a teeth-gritting sentiment to her words.

But Su Luo’s attention was entirely on that list.

All together, there must have been dozens of names.

He looked from the beginning to the end but did not find Xia Yi’s name.

This made Su Luo somewhat disappointed.

But at the same time, he felt a sense of relief.

If Xia Yi had been born in the Jinling Xia Family, then perhaps there would have been some unhappy matters behind it.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left Jinling for four or five years without ever returning.

Now, with no sign of Xia Yi’s name on the list, could it mean that Xia Yi might not have any unhappy past?

However.

At this moment, An Ran suddenly said, "Right, there’s another name, not on this list."

Su Luo suddenly felt a jolt and quickly asked, "Who?"

"It seems to be Xia... Xia something...," An Ran pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Su Luo and said, "Yes, it’s Xia Yi!"

Su Luo froze instantly.

"Xia Yi, the reason why she is not on the list is that she has been expelled from the Xia Family!" said An Ran.

What?

Expelled from the Xia Family?

Su Luo frowned, asking immediately, "Why was she expelled from the Xia Family, what exactly happened, do you know?"

"Brother Su Luo, may I ask why you are so interested in the women of the Xia Family?" An Ran did not answer directly but propped her chin with her hands, pouted slightly, and asked Su Luo.

That call of ’Brother Su Luo’ made Su Luo’s heart tremble slightly.

Why the sudden change of address?

However, this was good too, as it could narrow the distance between him and An Ran. Su Luo said right away, "Sister An Ran, I’m not interested in the Xia Family women on this list, I’m just inquiring for some information."

An Ran immediately smiled, "Brother Su Luo, I can call you Brother Su Luo, but can you not call me Sister An Ran... just call me An Ran, okay? Don’t add the two words ’sister,’ okay?"

Su Luo looked at her curiously and nodded, "Of course."

An Ran continued, "The matter of Xia Yi being expelled from the Xia Family made quite a stir back in the day in Jinling. Of course, I’m not from Jinling, so I only got a rough idea of what happened! It’s said that Xia Yi was an illegitimate daughter, born to the current Family Head of the Xia Family, Xia Longyuan, and a maid! After Xia Yi’s mother died, the Xia Family wanted to marry her off for an alliance. On her wedding day, Xia Yi ran away and when the Xia Family found her, she was already pregnant. Becoming pregnant before marriage, for the Xia Family, naturally brought great shame, and the marriage alliance became impossible. So, the Xia Family expelled her. As for where she is now, I have no idea, and it’s likely the Xia Family doesn’t care about her well-being either!"

Su Luo clenched his fists tightly.

There was a murderous look in his eyes.

An Ran looked at Su Luo, "Brother Su Luo, what’s wrong?"

"I think the Xia Family is too despicable!" said Su Luo.

But An Ran said, "Such things are normal among the wealthy and powerful families. There are even more despicable acts."

However, disdain still appeared on An Ran’s face, "Still, I despise Xia Longyuan, pah, disgusting scumbag!"

Su Luo suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Disgusting scumbag?

In a way, wasn’t he also a scumbag?

Afterwards, Su Luo had to admit that, in matters of love, he really seemed to be a scumbag!

He wanted Aunt Shen, Lin Ruoxi, and Xia Yi too. Although Lin Ruoxi was an accident, and the connection to Xia Yi was inexplicably formed, Su Luo wasn’t willing to give up any of them.

He really was somewhat of a scumbag, wasn’t he?

So be it!

Su Luo felt that if he slept with Lin Ruoxi and took her virginity but wasn’t willing to take responsibility, or if he knew Xia Yi had given birth to a child of his flesh and blood but acted ignorant and indifferent, that would not just make him a scumbag, but a beast!

At least, that’s what he believed.

"So that means Xia Lianyun and Xia Yi are half-siblings with the same father?" Suddenly, Su Luo thought of Xia Lianyun and asked.

An Ran nodded, "Yes."

"What is the relationship between Xia Lianyun and Xia Yi?" asked Su Luo.

An Ran shook her head, "I’m not sure! But one thing is certain, Xia Lianyun and his old man are the same, both scumbags. Especially this Xia Lianyun, even though his martial arts talent is great, he’s also famously a playboy!"

Su Luo nodded.

Perhaps, in this upcoming Southern Martial Association tournament, he could take the opportunity to avenge Xia Yi?
