Chapter 113: Chapter 113 I’m Not Going to Greet Him_1

Xia Jiehao wore a bitter smile, unable to miss the tone of setting boundaries in her voice, "Lanzi, it’s been almost twenty years since we’ve known each other. There’s no need to be so distant."

Mrs. Xia acted as if she hadn’t heard, lowering her head again and fiddling with the hem of her garment in silence.

He and she had known each other, exactly and properly, for twenty years.

Mrs. Cheng glared at her with frustration.

Such a good young man, missed once, and does she plan to miss out a second time?

"Mom, it’s almost noon. Let’s go cook," Aunt Lin interjected, attempting to smooth things over in the awkward atmosphere.

Without waiting for Mrs. Cheng to speak, Mrs. Xia suddenly stood up, the first to rush to the kitchen: "I’ll go cook as well."

She zoomed out of the main room as if fleeing from some monstrous flood.

Everyone in the room: "..."

Xia Ningxing touched her chin and looked again at the man, who appeared crestfallen and dejected.

Without knowing the specifics, Xia Ningxing could piece together that this uncle knew her mother from before and had pursued her but wasn’t successful. Now that her mom was divorced, this uncle had come to court her again.

Xia Ningxing munched on cookies while propping her cheek in her hand, blinking her clear eyes at the man: "Uncle, may I ask how to address you?"

"Xia Jiehao."

"... Cough cough cough!" Xia Ningxing suddenly choked on the cookie she had just swallowed.

Oh my dear mother!

Xia Jiehao!

The fashion tycoon from the books, specializing in women’s wear, bags. His company’s brands ranged from affordable to luxury, pursued by countless socialites, celebrities, and internet stars.

With a net worth in the billions and ranked in the top ten of the rich list!

Who could imagine, a casual inquiry, and it turns out to be another magnate!

It seemed the luxury car earlier must have been his!

At this moment, the man in Xia Ningxing’s eyes was no longer just a person, but a bundle of banknotes, an alluring shade of pink!

Ah, she wanted this potential stepdad!

And he also shared the surname Xia, so if he became her stepdad, she wouldn’t need to change her last name.

It wasn’t that she was particularly attached to Xia Jianren’s surname, but her original name was Xia Ningxing, and she didn’t want to change it.

Xia Ningxing felt like climbing onto the roof and dancing right now.

The feeling of encountering tycoons everywhere in life, do you know how thrilling it is!

"What’s wrong, did you choke? Quick, drink some water and press it down." Xia Jiehao, worried that the little girl might be in trouble, hurriedly reached for a cup of water on the table and fed it to her.

"Bao’er!" The five brothers also rushed over, gently patting her back with concern, "Eat slower next time, don’t worry, we won’t compete with you for food."

Xia Ningxing: "..."

No!

You don’t understand at all!

Inside the kitchen.

Mrs. Cheng glared at Mrs. Xia with displeasure: "What are you doing here? Hurry out and entertain the guest for me."

Entertain the guest!

What guest to entertain?

The only guest in the house is Xia Jiehao!

"I don’t want to entertain him," Mrs. Xia said with a stubborn and embarrassed face. She couldn’t help feeling somewhat resentful in front of Mrs. Cheng: "Mom, why is he here at my parental home?"

Mrs. Cheng rolled her eyes disapprovingly: "Look at what you’re saying. After all, our two families are neighbors, had a good relationship in the past, why can’t he come over to our house as a guest?"

"Mom! You know full well, he pursued me in the past!" Mrs. Xia said with a flushed face, filled with embarrassment.

In these conservative times, voicing this out made her so ashamed she felt like running into a wall.

"You let him come to my parental home, but what would his wife think if she knew!"
