The next day, Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi, as planned, went again to "Youwei."
Xia Pan and Xia Ming were at school, and Qian Qianqian and ng Xingmang had gone to deal with matters regarding the branch store.
As soon as Xia Chuyi arrived, she asked Huang Xiaoyun if her uncle and aunt were around.
"Yes, they are," Huang Xiaoyun said. "Apart from the last couple of days when you took Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao out to play, they haven’t been out much otherwise."
"Not exactly, Aunt Zhao hasn’t gone out much, but Uncle Zhao has gone out alone."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi understood: her uncle must have gone to see Xia Lianlian.
Xia Chuyi nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I’ll go find them."
After speaking, Xia Chuyi went through the back door of Youwei to the house she had bought.
Xia Chuyi entered the room.
"Uncle, Aunt," she called out loudly.
"Chuyi?" Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s voice, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia ca out of the guest room.
"Why did you co over today?" Aunt Xia asked, pleasantly surprised.
"Oh, it’s nothing much. I received a couple of bottles of fine wine at ho and thought to bring them over for you," Xia Chuyi replied with a gentle smile.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xia imdiately said, "Oh, you child, you’ve been thinking of giving us things these past few days. It’s just the two of us, how are we going to take them all back?"
Xia Chuyi laughed and said, "It’s okay, if it’s really inconvenient, we can mail it back."
"Mail it?" Aunt Xia quickly shook her head, "Who wastes money like that?"
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi laughed.
In this era, mailing wasn’t as developed as future express services, and the cost was beyond what ordinary people could bear, so she understood Aunt Xia’s concern.
At this ti, Uncle Xia also ca out of the house.
"Chuyi, what good wine did you get for your uncle?" Uncle Xia asked, rather excitedly, "When I go back, I must have a couple of good drinks!"
"You should drink less!" Aunt Xia imdiately scolded Uncle Xia upon hearing this.
Uncle Xia chuckled and didn’t retort.
Then, Xia Chuyi sat down and asked Aunt Xia, "Aunt, where have you gone to play when I wasn’t accompanying you?"
Hearing Xia Chuyi’s question, Aunt Xia’s expression flashed a hint of awkwardness.
"Oh, where did we go?" Aunt Xia replied, "Your uncle was out doing market research, it was exhausting. I just stayed at ho waiting for him."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi sighed inwardly.
It seems her uncle and aunt really don’t intend to tell her about Xia Lianlian.
In that case, Xia Chuyi could only pretend to be unaware.
"By the way, Chuyi..." Uncle Xia suddenly said, "My aunt and I are planning to go back to Lin County in the next couple of days."
"Back to Ling County?" Xia Chuyi was slightly surprised.
Are they planning not to continue interactions with Xia Lianlian?
Xia Chuyi thought to herself: If that’s really the case, then that’s actually quite good.
Seeing Xia Chuyi like this, Uncle Xia said, "Chuyi, don’t be too reluctant to let us go."
"After all, we’ve been out for many days now." Uncle Xia continued, "It’s about ti to go ho."
If it were a usual ti, Xia Chuyi would definitely act charmingly, trying to convince Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia to stay longer.
But with the matter of Xia Lianlian at hand.
Naturally, Xia Chuyi felt it better for her uncle and aunt to return ho sooner.
To prevent Xia Lianlian from running out of money and coming to ask Uncle Xia for more.
Xia Lianlian’s thick-skinned nature would indeed make such a thing likely.
