Chapter 240: Dr. Y Wakes Up
It didn’t take long for the two dorky lolis to come out after changing their clothes.
Seeing Xia Yu and Jiang Kekai sitting in the living room, they naturally didn’t go running around and joined the two girls instead.
After looking at Xia Yu and then at Jiang Kekai, Jiang Hanhang and Xia Ling were shocked to find that both Xia Yu and Jiang Kekai were playing the same game! These two people who never played games before were actually gaming now.
When they looked closer at what game it was, it turned out to be an immortal cultivator game, which burns a lot of money; otherwise, no one could afford it.
Out of curiosity, Xia Ling started searching for this game. If her older sister and Xia Yu were playing it, she couldn’t miss out on it either. Playing together is much more fun!
Xia Ling felt the same way. She already had little to talk about with Xia Yu, and now they had something common to chat about. So, she downloaded the game as well.
Soon, Jiang Hanhang had downloaded the game and clicked to enter.
Jiang Hanhang was stunned. She was even more stunned that she hadn’t logged in any account because she saw a small note about the Jiang Group Interactive Media…
What the heck? After all this time, it turned out to be something from her own family. Now Jiang Hanhang wasn’t worried anymore since playing such a game means you have to spend money. Now she wouldn’t give her money to some other game company.
“Sister, what server are you and Xia Yu on? I’ll join you.”
“Huh?” Jiang Kekai looked up, noticing her dorky sister also downloaded the game: “Twentieth District? Are you going to play too?” “Well, we might as well, it’s our family business after all. Spending however much won’t matter.”
Jiang Hanhang entered the game. It’s rare that her sister plays games too! In real life, she can’t match up to her sister, but can she surpass her in the game? At this moment, Xia Yu was wearing headphones because she was watching a strategy video; releasing it like this would be awkward. With the headphones on, she hadn’t realized she had affected three girls.
Soon enough, Zhang Yunzhi personally came up to remind all the ladies: “Oh, you’re here? Quickly, go downstairs to eat dinner.” Jiang Hanhang saw her mom coming and thought, “This is bad!” She immediately obediently turned off her phone and put it in her pocket, then pulled Xia Ling up to follow.
Jiang Kekai took off the Bluetooth headset from Xia Yu without any blame: “Dinner’s ready, let’s go down.” Xia Yu snapped out of her trance and glanced left and right seeing everyone staring at her. She, like Jiang Hanhang, first embarrassedly put away her phone and then let Jiang Kekai lead her downstairs.
Zhang Yunzhi walked last. She was aware of her eldest daughter and Xia Yu’s relationship, so she found nothing strange about it.
But… did that mean something with her second daughter and Xia Ling? These two seemed too close—like inseparable shadows, sleeping together and all. She just noticed this issue now.
Before Zhang Yunzhi could ponder too deeply, it was time to sit down for dinner.
To entertain Jiang Bin and the big-shot Zhang Yunzhi, Xia Hong slaughtered an old hen for soup. Such a delicacy is rare in the city, and there’s always the risk of getting fake goods.
Even though Jiang Bin, a man with money, could buy authentic old hens, who could guarantee he’d get the real deal? Who knows if someone would cut corners? So it’s best to use home-raised ones.
Halfway through the meal, Jiang Bin explained his intentions to the children: “Xiao Ning, Hanhang, tomorrow we should all go back home together.”
“No.”
Jiang Keke, fearless of her dad, rejected outright: “I want to stay here with Xia Yu. I’d be happier here.”
“Me too,” Jiang Hanhang chimed in, not knowing when to keep quiet.
Predicting his daughters would act like this, Jiang Bin wasn’t fazed, “Then let’s all go back. Your Uncle Xia Hong and I have already planned it so Xia Yu and Xia Ling can come along and liven things up.”
Xia Hong nodded and looked at Xia Yu and Xia Ling, “Don’t you both love playing with Xiao Ning and Hanhang? They came over today for a visit, maybe you could go over there and hang out!”
“Really?”
Xia Ling had never visited the Jiangs before and was quite excited.
“Of course it’s true,” Wang Wenjuan agreed, smiling, “But don’t cause trouble once you’re there, okay?”
“You got it,” Xia Ling replied.
Unlike Xia Ling, Xia Yu was more anxious because she feared Jiang Kekai’s grandfather, that old man who despised her so much.
Seeing Xia Yu’s worried expression, Jiang Kekai patted her head, “Xia Yu, are you worried about something? If you don’t want to go, I can stay here with you.”
Xia Yu nodded and expressed her concern, “What if my Grandpa Xia Yu feels upset if I go? ”
“Don’t worry. As long as we avoid each other, everything will be fine. Plus, Uncle Xia Hong is here, no need to fret over it,” Jiang Bin reassured.
To get his two daughters to return home for the New Year, he mustered up all his effort. Xia Yu was easily swayed. Seeing that little Kekai and Hanhang wanted to go back, too… Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and then said, “Alright, when do we leave tomorrow?”
“Sleep till morning, and then head out at eight. We’ll try to make it for dinner there.”
Seeing that the youngsters were ready, Xia Yu and Xia Ling’s grandmother started showing her hospitality: “Should we bring some rice or maybe some peanut oil?”
True, their grandparents saw Xia Yu and Jiang Kekai as future in-laws, so they were generous with provisions.
“If that’s the case, let’s bring some.”
In the Capital.
At this moment, Dr. Y finally recovered from the assassination attempt at the Jiang family.
Correct, after fleeing back to the Capital, Dr. Y directly checked into a hospital for psychological treatment. Until now, things were better. This was also why Xia Yu had been able to live peacefully for so long.
Looking at the ceiling, Dr. Y pondered whether to give up on the experiment but only needed Xia Yu’s cooperation to succeed.
However, with the Jiang family protecting Xia Yu, and Miss Bigshot Jiang Kekai almost always by her side, it made things difficult.
So, Dr. Y doubted themselves. This time, the assassination failed, but what about next time? Next time, would the situation be as favorable?
Just as Dr. Y hesitated, the hospital door opened…
