Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Help from the Maternal Family
Xia Chuyi purposely showed a look of embarrassnt: “Ah, this, I…”
But inside, she was overjoyed.
Just look, Grandma Xia was such a person.
She favored the first household over the second and third households with no condition, and within the children of the first household, she showed unconditional favoritism towards Xia Chengzu.
Sadly, Grandma Xia didn’t know that the more she behaved like this, the less her grandchildren appreciated her favor.
“I’ve already separated from the Xia Family, so I’m afraid I can’t decide this matter for you,” Xia Chuyi frowned and cocked her head.
After thinking a bit, Xia Chuyi added, “Well, it was agreed upon when we divided the family assets to help Xia i find a job.”
“So, this appointnt letter should go to her.”
Upon hearing this, Grandma Xia imdiately frowned, and Xia Chengzu’s face fell, ready to say sothing.
But Xia Chuyi continued, “I’ll give the appointnt letter to Xia i, and what you do with it afterwards is your affair.”
“Luckily, there’s no na written on the appointnt letter,” Xia Chuyi added cheerfully.
This statent elicited entirely different reactions from different people.
Xia i’s eyes lit up: With the appointnt letter in her hands, it was naturally hers, and no one could snatch it away!
Grandma Xia: Once the appointnt letter was in the Xia Family’s possession, wouldn’t it still be up to her to distribute and arrange it?
Xia Chengzu: This vile woman, Xia i, letting her go to the city for work? What a waste! Hmph, this job must be his.
Aunt Xia: As long as the job was given to her child, she didn’t care who received it.
Each harboring their own ulterior motives.
“Fine, then give it to !” Xia i reached out unabashedly, her face brimming with imnse excitent.
“Wait!” Xia Chuyi extended the appointnt letter halfway, then pulled it back on purpose, “You have to write an acknowledgnt.”
“To prove that I’ve fulfilled my part in arranging the job.”
“Otherwise, what if you deny it later? Who will I turn to?”
The Xia Family mbers’ eyes flickered.
This damn girl, so cunning!
Just from their glances, Xia Chuyi understood they must be cursing her in their hearts.
So what?
Dealing with the Xia Family required extre caution.
Of course, having an acknowledgnt wouldn’t stop them from acting shalessly.
But at least, it would make her actions more convenient.
Xia i glared at her, itching to snatch it.
Intentionally or otherwise, Xia Chuyi held the letter in such a way that if they dared to grab it, she would tear it up.
Biting her lip, Xia i finally said, “I can give you an acknowledgnt, but you must hand the letter over to .”
Actually learning to be cautious.
Xia Chuyi nodded slightly, replying, “Of course.”
Assured, Xia i stomped her foot and quickly ran back to her room.
Xia Chengzu, who had been standing by impatiently, directly confronted her, spreading out his hands: “Xia Chuyi, hand over the appointnt letter!”
His tone was very displeased.
Xia Chuyi took two steps back: “What do you think you’re doing?”
She made a show of preparing to tear up the letter.
“If you try to take it by force, I’ll tear it up!”
After stating this and motioning as if to tear it, she scared Xia Chengzu into hastily backing off.
“You damn girl!” He cursed, but didn’t dare to act.
He knew all too well that any damage to the appointnt letter would render it invalid.
Grandma Xia pulled Xia Chengzu back and, after calming him down, turned around with a gentle deanor towards Xia Chuyi.
“Chuyi, my child, you’re still young and don’t understand these things.”
“Look, you’re a girl, and if you get married one day, how will you manage without a reliable family to support you?”
“Blood is thicker than water, and you and Chengzu are siblings after all. If Chengzu does well, won’t you also benefit in the future?”
