Chapter 101: Counting from 101 to 0 confuses me.

Xu He hesitated before speaking, "Mom doesn’t mean that..."

Xia Yuzheng was also taken aback. Honestly, he hadn’t expected Xu He to be so determined this time.

But since he said he would leave the decision to Xu He, he would not interfere, and besides, what Xu He said also made sense.

If there were conflicts between the two children, it would be better for them to live apart.

Qiao Yufen stared with eyes wide, so shocked she didn’t know what to say.

Seeing that even Dad wasn’t taking her side, Xia Yourong’s eyes gradually filled with madness, "What about big brother? I’m going to call big brother! You all bully me! Big brother won’t bully me!"

Xu He looked like she wanted to say something but stopped short, "Your big brother is busy with a meeting, you better not call him."

Xia Yourong didn’t believe it and took out her phone to call big brother, only for the call to be hung up after just two rings, the second time she redialed it was the same.

It must be Mom who told big brother something, not letting big brother answer her call!

If big brother knew that everyone now wanted to drive her and grandma away, he would definitely stand up for them!

Xia Yourong looked at Xu He, for the first time feeling that her mother was actually such a hypocritical person.

But she couldn’t imagine that what had given Xu He the resolve to have them move back to the old house first was precisely Xia Tiao.

In the phone call just now, Xia Tiao’s last sentence—

"If little sister harbors such thoughts, we cannot let her stay beside Little Tiangao."

If Xia Yourong were a bit smarter, she would have realized long ago that the kindness big brother and second brother showed her all had one most important precondition, that she be good to Xia Ye.

Without this precondition, she would be losing all her bargaining chips.

Qiao Yufen felt humiliated; since Xiaorong’s words were of no use, why bother being so compromising and obliging?

She stood up indignantly, her cane thudding on the floor resoundingly, "Xiaorong, if they don’t want you, grandma does. Tonight, pack your things with grandma! Tomorrow, grandma will take you back to the old house!"

Xia Yourong thought grandma was being too impulsive; she still wanted to struggle, but didn’t dare defy grandma, so she could only bite her lip, shedding tears of humiliation.

Xia Ye had been sleeping in Jiang Xuan’s arms for nearly an hour.

Foxes are animals that hibernate partially during winter.

And they still feel sleepy in the spring.

In this short time span of less than an hour, Jiang Xuan had thought about everything, but he did not move at all, just letting her hold onto him.

When Xia Ye woke up, she felt full of Spiritual Energy.

She felt her face pressed against something very hard, very warm, and blinked with a strange expression.

Pulling back a small distance, she recognized the fabric as that of a shirt.

Lifting her small chin, she then saw Jiang Xuan looking down at her from above, his face haughty.

Xia Ye: ...

Now she was completely awake.

She wanted to accuse Jiang Xuan first to gain the upper hand, asking what he had done to her while she was asleep.

But her hand was still wrapped around his waist; no matter how you looked at it... it seemed she was the one who had acted first!

Xia Ye swallowed, pretending as if nothing had happened, she got up from his embrace.

As long as she wasn’t embarrassed, that would mean someone else was.

She glanced at the dashboard showing the time, "Is it this late already? Does that mean we’re going to miss dinner?"

Jiang Xuan lifted his chin towards one side, and following his gesture she noticed that there were stacks of takeout containers already placed there.

Twenty minutes earlier, foreseeing they might not have time to eat together, he had called the waiter to pack several dishes and bring them to the car.

Xia Ye smiled, "Thanks."

Jiang Xuan started the car again, his long palm steering the wheel as the headlights illuminated the dimly lit underground garage.

"Did you go to sleep late yesterday?" he asked.

Xia Ye curved her lips, saying casually, "Helping out with some family stuff."

She had grown up, no longer to be deceived or used by others as before.

But she was still herself, just like last night, when she knew her third brother often got hurt on the border, she made many upgraded versions of ointment, working until almost dawn.

Jiang Xuan glanced at her sideways.

Such a good little girl, yet some people were unwilling to treat her well, he really didn’t understand...

The next morning, Qiao Yufen took Xia Yourong back to the old house.

Wang Dahai drove them away, and right after their departure, the nanny started gossiping with the other servants.

The nanny felt something was off the night before, and after being sent away by the master, she stood in the corridor where she could occasionally hear a few severe voices coming from the living room.

And this morning, she actually saw the old lady taking the eldest Miss back to the old house to live.

They gossiped for a long while but couldn’t figure out why.

Judging by the eldest Miss’s expression when she left, this trip back to the old house was definitely not voluntary, it was more like she was... driven back.

Before the second young lady returned, they had never seen the eldest Miss in such an embarrassing situation.

The future of the Xia family... won’t really change, will it?

With those two finally driven back to the old house, Xia Ye finally had some peace.

Plus, after absorbing spiritual energy last night, she woke up quite early today.

After breakfast, with half an hour before school, Xia Ye strolled around the Xia family’s garden.

Xia Yuzheng was very fond of plants and flowers, so he specifically had a gardener enclose a small area in the yard to create a garden.

Inside, there were many rare flowers and plants.

Xia Xing slept at the club last night and deliberately waited for Xia Yourong to leave before coming home this morning.

He was afraid that if he saw Xia Yourong face to face, he might say something too harsh.

As the sports car pulled into the Xia family’s courtyard, from a distance, he saw a slender figure crouching in dad’s garden.

The small figure was also wearing a little straw hat, seemingly in good spirits.

Xia Xing smiled fondly and called out, "Did Uncle Wang take them? Big Brother will take you to school today."

Xia Ye turned around, glanced at the second brother’s flashy and flamboyant sports car, "No need, you do your thing, I’ll ride a bike-share to school."

Bike-share?

Xia Xing parked the car and, getting out, walked a few steps toward Xia Ye.

His cherished little princess of the Xia family was actually going to ride a bike-share?

Was the pocket money he gave her not enough?

At this point, Xia Xing noticed for the first time that Xia Ye was also wearing the most basic style of jeans and T-shirt. She had been home for quite a while and hadn’t mentioned buying any clothes she liked for herself.

If he gave his card to the eldest sister or Jian Manman, they would probably have piles of new clothes and bags by now.

But that wasn’t the most shocking thing; what really astonished him was watching his little sister fiddling with those flowers and plants in the garden.

Then suddenly, his gaze fell to his feet, where she noticed an outstanding-looking plant, plucked a leaf, and put it in her mouth, chewing.

Xia Xing’s eye twitched... Had his little sister not eaten enough?

After a while, Xia Ye murmured, "It’s poisonous."

Xia Xing immediately became anxious, speaking urgently, "Poisonous?! I’ll take you to the hospital!"

Before his voice died away, he was about to help her up.

Xia Ye raised her hand to stop him, "It’s toxic if you eat too much, just tasting a little is fine."

Xia Xing bit his tooth and immediately pulled out his phone to check, was there no money left on his card?

Otherwise, why would his little sister be eating grass here?

He could check the balance on his card through his phone, so he opened the app, did the face verification, entered his account, and clicked on balance.

The next second, he was counting zeros, utterly baffled—
