Xia Taishan continued, "Qingqing, although your grandfather was ill, I haven't lost my mind. I can still tell who is who among these Xia family members!"
"Grandpa, this..."
Xia Bingqing hadn't expected Xia Taishan to say that.
Xia Taishan interrupted, continuing, "If a person wants to get what they desire, they must become stronger!"
"Do you understand?"
Xia Bingqing paused, then nodded.
"I do!"
Xia Taishan smiled warmly, "Your grandfather believes you understand too!"
"That's why I'm telling you this!"
"In the future, you are the hope of the Xia family. As for your second uncle, he's not capable!"
"Your grandfather sees this very clearly!"
At this point, Xia Bingqing was speechless.
Xia Taishan continued, "When you have enough ability to manage the Xia family, your grandfather will do his utmost to assist you. For this period, you'll have to bear with it."
"Grandpa..." Xia Bingqing was touched. So Grandpa hadn't ignored their family all along, he had just found a different way to help.
"Also, you must get along well with Xiao Fan. That kid is no ordinary person!"
Xia Taishan added.
Xia Bingqing agreed with everything else Xia Taishan had said, except when Chen Fan was mentioned, she couldn't bring herself to agree!
A bumpkin, who only knew a little about medicine, was extraordinary?
Xia Bingqing disdained in her heart, but said aloud, "Alright, Grandpa..."
Xia Taishan nodded, glanced at the time, "It's getting late. You and Xiao Fan should go rest!"
Again?
Xia Bingqing was helpless, but she agreed.
Then, she left the study and went downstairs. Coincidentally, she saw Chen Fan teasing fish. A look of disdain appeared on Xia Bingqing's face, and she said, "Alright, let's go!"
Chen Fan responded blandly, then asked, "Aren't you staying?"
Staying meant they would share the same bedroom.
Xia Bingqing's face immediately darkened, "Or, would you like to stay alone?"
Chen Fan snorted, "If you're not here, what would I stay for? To sleep with the air!"
As soon as he said this, Xia Bingqing's sharp eyes fell upon Chen Fan, and she spat fiercely, "Chen Fan, watch your words!"
Chen Fan remained casual and flippant, "You're already grown, why can't you joke around!"
"Your jokes are not funny at all!"
Xia Bingqing said with a cold face.
Chen Fan sighed, "Did the old man have no eyes back then to choose such a marriage partner? Isn't this tormenting and life-threatening? Fortunately, I'm thick-skinned and can endure the hardship!"
"What are you muttering about?"
At this moment, Xia Bingqing's cold voice rang out again.
Chen Fan shivered and gave an awkward smile, "Nothing. I was saying that it's my good fortune to be able to work for a great beauty like you!"
"Miss Xia, please..."
Then, Chen Fan made a gesture of invitation.
Xia Bingqing glanced at Chen Fan coldly and said no more.
This guy, how could he not be extraordinary like Grandpa said!
Never mind, she didn't think about it further...
Just like that, Chen Fan drove, sent Xia Bingqing home, and then drove back to Xiaomian Village, his rented place.
Although it was messy, it was full of life. Compared to those fancy places, Chen Fan preferred it here.
As soon as he reached his doorstep, he saw a few familiar figures.
It was none other than San Feng and the others...
