Xia Yu's face darkened. She had experienced this before, so she knew clearly that at that time, she wasn't willing to help the Xia Clan. She had completely broken off all ties with the Xia Clan. The Xia family manipulated the public opinion, making her speak in a way that was unbearable to look at.

Xia Yu lowered her eyes, and the look in her eyes became colder and colder.

"How is it? After all, we are family. Even if we are not related by blood, you are still my daughter. " Xia Hong smiled slightly, the smile obviously had ill intentions.

If Xia Yu could cooperate properly and be of use to them, he would be willing to recognize this daughter of his.

After a long while, Xia Yu regained her calm expression and looked at them.

"Alright."

"You agreed?" Xia Hong stared blankly for a moment. He had not expected Xia Yu to agree so readily.

"Of course, no matter what, you are still my family. Qianxue is my sister, so of course I will help her." Xia Yu's face did not reveal anything.

Of course, she had to help these people and expose their face. She would not repeat the same mistakes as in her previous life!

Xia Qianxue looked at Xia Yu. She felt that Xia Yu was different from before. She had obviously been hiding behind someone and did not even dare to breathe. Just when had her personality started to change?

Xia Yu noticed her gaze and she turned to look at Xia Qianxue with a slight smile. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, but her eyes were ice-cold.

Xia Qianxue, I naturally have to report all that I have endured to you, but not now …

If the Xia family could stay in peace, she wouldn't have thought of doing anything to them, but now they were asking for it.

"What should I do?"

Xia Yu asked with a bright gaze. The fact that the Xia Clan was able to find her meant that there was something that he needed her to do.

Just as expected, Xia Hong's face was ice-cold as he said: "There will be a joint banquet for business in a few days, and only the most prestigious families will be invited. Gong Jia is one of the clans that will be invited, and all the elites from all walks of life will come, there's not a lack of company bosses, there are also some …" Xia Hong did not say it, but they all knew very clearly that Xia Hong liked the young and promising people.

Xia Hong's gaze landed on Xia Qianxue's body. Xia Qianxue's face was so pretty that it could move anyone's eyes.

"I want you to bring Qianxue in!"

"The royal ball …" Xia Yu muttered to herself, there was indeed a alcohol gathering, Gong Qin had mentioned it once, but it was too casual, he did not pay much attention to the party, so Xia Yu did not take it to heart. He hadn't expected that the Xia Family would be eyeing the chance to participate in the party. With such a simple task, it wouldn't matter even if he offered his help.

The corner of Xia Yu's mouth curled up as she nodded, "That's simple."

As for what would happen in the royal ball and what Xia Qianxue would do, it would all be up to her.

After walking out of the Xia Clan household, Xia Yu got on the carriage and prepared to leave.

"Xia Clan, Xia Qianxue..." Xia Yu felt annoyed and knocked on the steering wheel.

Although she looked calm, her heart was in turmoil. She couldn't control her future, so she was still too powerless … There was nothing she could do.

… ….

In the large apartment, the simple decorations had all been turned on, lighting up the room.

On the soft bed, Lu Zichu lied down and opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling.

His brows furrowed as a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and covered his eyes.

"Why …"

Lu Zichu muttered, his voice was suppressed and filled with pain, "Why wouldn't she agree to my request?" He felt that he understood Xia Yu's intentions. Xia Yu cared about him this much because he liked him, but he never expected her to reject him so easily.

"Xia Yu..."

Lu Zichu's vision became pitch-black, and he closed his eyes tightly, wanting to forget everything.

"All because of him? Because Gong Qin... " Lu Zichu clenched his fists. Thinking about Xia Yu and Gong Qin's marriage, he felt even worse. If … Would it have been different if he had been able to stop her from getting married?

But it didn't matter now.

Lu Zichu moved his hand away and opened his eyes. His eyes, which were as black as ink, were ice-cold and devoid of any emotion.

"As long as we disappoint Xia Yu and don't place all our hope on that man, she will be free." Lu Zichu's pale face revealed a smile. He turned around and looked at the antidote and water on the bedside table. He reached out to take the pill and swallowed it. Seeing such thoughtful preparation, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"Xia Yu will absolutely not be given to you. She should be mine, I got to know her even earlier."

"Gong Qin... You are not qualified to have her! "

… ….

As the car drove to Gong Qin's villa, Xia Yu's expression was heavy all the way. She wanted to get rid of the Xia family, but she didn't know what to do right now.

It was impossible for the Xia Family to continue leading her by the nose. Even the slightest involvement would only make her nauseous to death.

But...

Xia Yu could not understand why his mother would send her to the Xia family at that time. Why did he have to send her over to her as if she was Xia Hong's child.

At that time, something happened, and Xia Yu was unable to remember it clearly.

After her mother's illness, she took the time to visit her mother several times, but that was all from when she was young. She had lived two lifetimes, and had lived for nearly twenty years.

"You have to remember this well …" In front of him was that bright and beautiful smile, but because of how ill he was, his smile seemed to have turned pale and powerless.

"Wear this properly."

The cold necklace was around her neck, and her small hand was clutching at the dark shape of the necklace, but she didn't know what it was.

"Mom?"

"Please don't throw it away. You have to keep it well, okay?"

… ….

"Necklace." Xia Yu's pupils shrank. She seemed to have seen a necklace in her memory. But now … Xia Yu touched her neck, the necklace was no longer there.

"How the hell did I get lost? Where is the necklace … " Xia Yu muttered, she always felt that the necklace was very important, it was something her mother had solemnly given her, but she had never paid attention to it. Now that he suddenly thought of it, he remembered to look for a necklace.

Clang clang.

The windshield was knocked.

Xia Yu's body trembled. She looked over and saw that Gong Qin had bent over to look at her through the glass window.

"Gong Qin..." Xia Yu opened the door and walked down, only to discover that she had sat inside the car for a long time.

"What are you thinking about?" Gong Qin stared at Xia Yu as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.

"Nothing."

Xia Yu subconsciously shook her head. She walked forward, grabbed his clothes, and leaned her head on his chest. "It's so cold." This kind of ice-cold aura, along with Gong Qin's pitch-black clothes, made him wear a long black coat today, as if he had never worn it so formally before. This way, it would be very suitable for him to go to the cemetery and pay his respects.
