Chapter 69 - The Fight of Fox Charms

Xia Zhuozhuo looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was the daughter of Mayor Sun, Sun Zhaozhao. She was the woman that Si Shenxing needed to help him to avoid peach blossoms. Xia Zhuozhuo had always hated to avoid peach blossoms. Back then, a boy in the Anbu was pursued by a girl, and he was so annoyed that he asked her for help and asked her to cooperate in acting. As a result, the girl stopped pestering him, but turned to her and kept making trouble for her. It was not until she could no longer bear it and gave the other party a taste of her own medicine that the matter came to an end. Now, such an incident happened again, and Xia Zhuozhuo instinctively wanted to resist, but she had no choice but to owe Si Shenxing a favor and had agreed to come to help. If she had known that she was here to avoid peach blossoms, she would not have agreed, and would rather repay the favor in other ways. She prayed in her heart that Miss Sun was a reasonable person. Xia Zhuozhuo met Sun Zhaozhao's gaze, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, my last name is Xia, Xia Zhuozhuo." Sun Zhaozhao said "Oh" meaningfully, and then sat down gracefully in the seat next to Xia Zhuozhuo. She opened her red lips and said slowly, "My father has been very busy with a case recently, and it seems that there is a person named Xia involved..." Xia Zhuozhuo's eyelids trembled slightly, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart. She forced herself to be calm and asked, "What's his name?" Sun Zhaozhao stared into her eyes and said word by word, "Xia Yunhai, the chairman of Xia Group." Xia Zhuozhuo's hand holding the teacup tightened involuntarily, and her fingertips turned white due to the force. She knew very well that once this name came out, her identity had been exposed. Sun Zhaozhao saw that she was silent, and he had some guesses in his heart. She pretended to be concerned and said, "Our last name is Sun, and the word 'Xia' is not common in Miss Zhuozhuo's last name. There are many wealthy families in Shanghai, and I just asked one more question out of curiosity. Miss Zhuozhuo won't mind, right?" Xia Zhuozhuo forced a smile and said, "No." However, Sun Zhaozhao was obviously persistent in this topic. She continued to ask, "Then...what is the relationship between that Xia Yunhai and Miss Xia?" Xia Zhuozhuo knew that it was meaningless to hide it anymore, so she simply admitted frankly, "Xia Yunhai is my father." Sun Zhaozhao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she heard it. Although she had guessed it in her heart, she was still surprised to hear Xia Zhuozhuo admit it in person. Of course, she was not surprised by the fact that Xia Yunhai was Xia Zhuozhuo's father, but she was surprised that Si Shenxing was actually engaged to the daughter of the Xia family. After all, everyone in Shanghai didn't know that the Xia family was on the decline, and Xia Yunhai was about to face prison. Si Shenxing was extremely smart, how could he be confused for a moment and marry the daughter of the Xia family? However, Sun Zhaozhao's face did not reveal her true thoughts. She even took the initiative to hold Xia Zhuozhuo's hand and said with a guilty look: "I'm sorry, I seem to have said something irrelevant. I just thought it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect it to be true... Zhuozhuo, don't worry, since we know each other, we are friends. I will try my best to take care of your father's affairs within the scope permitted by law." Xia Zhuozhuo listened to her high-sounding words and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. She withdrew her hand calmly and said, "Miss Sun, you don't have to be polite. You don't know. It's just that I have a bad temper. If others dare to..." Sun Zhaozhao was surprised and interrupted her: "Zhuozhuo, did you misunderstand something? I said this because I treat you as a friend." Xia Zhuozhuo looked at her coldly and said, "Then I will pretend that I didn't hear anything just now. Miss Sun had better pretend that she knows nothing. Otherwise, I will definitely do what I say." Sun Zhaozhao heard this and showed a look of grievance on her face: "Zhuozhuo, you really misunderstood me. I think we have a good impression, so I really want to be friends with you. I have no other ill intentions, and I will not make you and your family and friends angry." While speaking, she suddenly leaned close to Xia Zhuozhuo's ear and whispered: "Miss Xia, I think you should understand what I mean. There are only two ways in front of you. Either go back and break up with Si Shenxing immediately; or, I will let your father break up for you. Hmm?" The word "hmm" was full of threat. However, Xia Zhuozhuo was unmoved. She suddenly threw the teacup in her right hand at herself. Although the tea in the cup was not hot, she pretended to scream in pain, and then two lines of tears slid down her cheeks. Si Shenxing looked over and saw that it was Xia Zhuozhuo. He immediately walked over quickly: "What's wrong?" Xia Zhuozhuo did not look at him, but said to Sun Zhaozhao with a strong crying voice: "Miss Sun, I know you like Shenxing, but you not only threw tea on me, but also threatened me with my father?" Sun Zhaozhao had not yet reacted. When she heard this, she was stunned. But Xia Zhuozhuo's eyes flashed a sneer. She thought to herself: We are all thousand-year-old foxes. Since we love to perform Liao Zhai, she will accompany us to perform. Anyway, she came here to act, and she doesn't mind adding one more scene. At this time, Sun Zhaozhao's father Sun Zhengyue also came over with a dark face. For a while, everyone in the room gathered around. Sun Minbi gritted his teeth and said to Sun Zhengyue: "She spilled tea on herself, but she turned around and said it was me!" Sun Zhengyue's face sank, and he stared at Xia Zhuozhuo: "Miss Xia, do you know that slander is also a crime?" Xia Zhuozhuo cried even harder when she heard this. She shook her head pitifully at Si Shenxing: "I didn't wrongly accuse her... She just leaned close to my ear and said that if I didn't break up with you, she would let her father do it to my father. I didn't agree, so she threw tea on me. Shenxing, you have to believe me, what I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can check the surveillance!" However, she knew very well in her heart that there was no surveillance in this room. Moreover, people who can appear here are not ordinary. No surveillance will be installed in this room. Sun Zhaozhao heard this, and there was no trace of tenderness on her face, and her eyes were full of coldness: "I didn't! Xia Zhuozhuo, you are talking nonsense! If you dare to throw dirty water on me, I will not let you go!" Xia Zhuozhuo pretended to be scared, shrank to Si Shenxing, and said in a trembling voice: "Shenxing, it doesn't matter how she bullies me or slanders me, but please, don't let her hurt my father." Her expression was full of pity and helplessness, and the beautiful woman shed tears, and everyone present was moved. Si Shenxing's face was even darker, and a cold light leaked from the bottom of his eyes. He tightly held Xia Zhuozhuo's hand that was scalded by tea, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you and your father." At this time, Xia Zhuozhuo's heart was full of ripples. She knew very well that her marriage with Si Shenxing was just a product of interest exchange. However, at this moment, she read some true feelings from Si Shenxing's eyes. This made her a little dazed. Could it be that there was really a possibility of love between them? However, this thought only flashed through her mind. She quickly came to her senses and reminded herself not to be fooled by this false warmth. After all, in this world full of calculations and interests, true love is the most luxurious thing. As Sun Zhaozhao watched this scene, her anger burned even more fiercely. She secretly vowed to make Xia Zhuozhuo pay the price and let her know what would happen if she dared to snatch a man from her, Sun Zhaozhao. For a moment, the room was tense and the atmosphere was extremely tense. And this foxy battle caused by the peach blossom disaster has just begun... After speaking, he motioned Huo Gang to come forward, "Huo Gang, please lead Xia Zhuozhuo to heal the scars on her hands." Upon hearing this, Huo Gang immediately led the way and politely made a gesture of invitation.
