Chapter 58 - Undercurrents

Her fleeing figure looked particularly funny on the long corridor of the Xia family, but she still looked back with a hint of provocation: "Brother, I'm used to the contempt in your eyes, but how many people in this world can really look up to you? Now you are just a poor creature abandoned by fate!" "Xia Liuli, how dare you speak so arrogantly, I will teach you a lesson!" Xia Liu shouted angrily, and chased out like the wind. Seeing this, Xia Liuli's steps accelerated a bit, and the posture of running away was like a clumsy clown on the stage, which made people laugh. However, Xia Liu's anger did not subside. He almost caught up, but was interrupted by the call of Xia Guanjia at the critical moment: "Young Master, are you okay?" Xia Liu turned around suddenly and saw Xia Huaizheng holding his chest, his face was as pale as paper, and his pain was beyond words. This scene made Xia Liu's heart instantly come to his throat. He immediately forgot about Xia Liuli and hurried back to Xia Huaizheng. "Brother, what's wrong with you? Does your chest hurt?" Xia Liu asked anxiously. Xia Huaizheng forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, just take a rest." However, he knew his physical condition very well. In addition to the pair of legs that could not walk, his mind was suffering endless torture. The difficulty in breathing at this moment was caused by the mental illness. Xia Liu did not dare to be careless. He quickly took out the spare ventilator at home and put it on Xia Huaizheng. As the oxygen was slowly input, Xia Huaizheng's breathing gradually stabilized and his face gradually regained its color. "I'm really fine." Xia Huaizheng took off the breathing mask, with a firm tone, "Don't tell mom about what happened today, and don't let others worry. The Xia family is already in chaos, and I can't make it more chaotic." Xia Liu and Butler Xia looked at each other and nodded helplessly. However, after Xia Huaizheng lay down, Xia Liu couldn't help but quietly dial Xia Zhuozhuo's phone. He always felt that Xiaoqi should know about this. At this time, Xia Zhuozhuo was in the factory that Xia Liu had carefully built for her, busy with the members of the Anbu. The transfer work of the Anbu was proceeding in an orderly manner. Although the process was slow, every step was full of caution. Guzi and several other capable people had already been transferred here with the first batch. Their arrival injected new vitality into the team. Qiuyu, a rare girl in the team, couldn't help but tear up when she saw Xia Zhuozhuo. "Boss, I heard that when you went to see Liu Yueru, that vicious woman actually drugged you... I was so worried, but I didn't dare to come here casually." Xia Zhuozhuo gently patted Qiuyu's shoulder and gently gathered the broken hair behind her ears: "Don't cry, you won't be beautiful if you cry. Look, I'm fine now, right?" Qiuyu shook her head, her eyes full of heartache: "But, you have lost a lot of weight..." "Really?" Xia Zhuozhuo touched her cheek in surprise, "That may be your illusion, I think I'm a little fatter." In fact, since returning to the Xia family, Mrs. Xia has been worried that she is too thin. She asked Aunt Xu to cook every meal in a variety of ways and forced her to eat half a bowl of rice. Xia Zhuozhuo is sometimes really afraid that she will be raised into a pig. "I don't care, anyway, you are thin when you are not with me. You stay for dinner tonight, I will make you a full banquet!" Qiuyu said stubbornly. Qiuyu's full name is Jin Qiuyu. She was born in a famous Jin chef family in China. The Jin family's noodles are well-known throughout the country, and the chain stores are all over the country. Qiuyu's cooking skills are even better than hers, and any dish she makes can make people have endless aftertaste. However, in front of Xia Zhuozhuo, she always feels that her skills are not as good as others. At the beginning, she was deeply attracted by Xia Zhuozhuo's dish, so she shamelessly pestered her and finally joined the Anbu. The Anbu is a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, and members come from all walks of life. Therefore, they can take any task except illegal ones. However, there are very few people who come to the Anbu to cook. So, Qiuyu would cook for the people in the Anbu every day when she was free. And what she likes most is to cook for Xia Zhuozhuo. Every time Xia Zhuozhuo can give valuable suggestions to make her cooking skills better. In Qiuyu's eyes, Xia Zhuozhuo is an almighty goddess who can do everything. "I'm afraid I can't come tonight, I have to attend an exhibition. But tomorrow, I'll come over for lunch tomorrow." Xia Zhuozhuo said apologetically. Qiuyu nodded regretfully, hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Then you must come over tomorrow at noon, I have to go out for a big purchase in the morning." "Okay." Xia Zhuozhuo agreed with a smile. Just then, Xia Zhuozhuo's cell phone rang suddenly. It was a call from Xia Liu. She asked Qiuyu to continue helping, and then answered the phone: "Xiaoqi, is the party over there?" "Not yet." Xia Zhuozhuo replied, "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?" "Nothing..." Xia Liu's voice was a little hesitant, "It's just that my eldest brother had a seizure just now, but he's fine now. He didn't let me tell you, but I thought about what you told me before you left that you would tell you anything at home, so I told you quietly." "You did the right thing." Xia Zhuozhuo's tone was a little approving, "How is my eldest brother now?" "Much better, I gave him oxygen, and now his complexion has recovered." Xia Liu replied. "That's good. I'll go back after I finish my work here." Xia Zhuozhuo said, "If he has difficulty breathing again, give him oxygen. There's nothing wrong with his body. It's caused by mental illness. Don't worry too much." "Yeah." Xia Liu responded, "By the way, did Xia Liuli come back just to get clothes?" Xia Zhuozhuo frowned slightly when she heard this: "She still has more than 30 million in her account. It's a bit strange for her to run back to the Xia family for a few clothes." "Yeah, I was worried at first that she would take something else. But after opening the suitcase and checking it, I found that there were only her clothes inside." Xia Liu said. "Then let her take it away." Xia Zhuozhuo said after a moment of silence, "Don't mention it to mom, lest she get angry again." "Okay." Xia Liu responded and hung up the phone. Xia Zhuozhuo opened an application on her phone. Out of concern for the safety of the Xia family, she installed pinhole cameras on every floor of the Xia family. At this moment, she called up the surveillance screen according to the time Xia Liu said. Sure enough, she saw Xia Liuli's figure appear on the second floor. However, she did not go to her room, but went straight to Xia Liu's room. Xia Zhuozhuo's heart sank suddenly. She knew that there was no camera installed in Xia Liu's room because she did not want to invade the privacy of her brothers. However, at this moment, she could only watch Xia Liuli walk into Xia Liu's room, her heart full of uneasiness and doubts. She decided to rush back to Xia's house immediately after the exhibition to find out the truth. A few minutes later, Xia Zhuozhuo saw Xia Liuli coming out empty-handed, and her doubts became even greater. What was hidden in Xia Liu's simple room that made Xia Liuli willing to bear the infamy and find out? While thinking, Xia Zhuozhuo called Xia Liu. On the other end of the phone, Xia Liu's voice was puzzled: "What is she doing there? My room is empty, with only some random graffiti." "Calligraphy and painting?" Xia Zhuozhuo's heart moved, as if he had caught some key clues. Her guess may be revealed soon. She raised her eyelids slightly, and a glimmer of wisdom flashed in her eyes. The truth seemed to be within reach.
