Chapter 145 The Troubled Old Father

Xia Qing was getting ready to go to bed in her room. She, Xiaoxi and Bai Qing had all finished washing up and were ready to lie down.

However, at this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang, and it was Xia Yuandong calling again.

She felt a little nervous, fearing that Xia Yuandong was here to fire Lin Guzhi. She hesitated for a moment before answering the phone and asked, "Hello? Dad, what's wrong?"

Xia Yuandong's voice sounded: "Are you asleep?"

Xia Qing felt that what Xia Yuandong said was nonsense. If she was asleep, who would answer the phone?

But even though she was complaining in her heart, she dared not say it out loud: "No, Dad. What's wrong?"

Xia Yuandong said, "If you haven't slept yet, get up and pack up, go back to Haicheng, don't stay here. Your friend who is getting married is not a decent person."

Xia Qing had already learned from Lin Guzhi that Xia Yuandong had come to Jinshan City, and she also understood why Xia Yuandong said this, and she felt a little sad for a moment.

If it had been before, when Xia Yuandong said this about her college roommate, she would have gotten angry and argued with him, even if she would be quickly suppressed by her father.

But now she didn't want to say anything. She just wanted to listen to her father and get up and leave.

"But I'm afraid this might not be a good idea. Anyway..."

Xia Qing said.

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yuandong said, "Don't worry about this. I've called Huang Yuyu's father here. Ask him to explain if there's anything."

Xia Qing was stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay, let's pack up and go downstairs to drive."

Xia Yuandong said, "It's so dark, don't drive. Take my car. I'll ask someone to help you drive the car back."

Xia Qing suddenly remembered that the marriage certificate was still in her car. She didn't dare to make the same mistake again, so she said quickly, "No need, Dad. I'll let Lin Guzhi drive, so we don't have to run back and forth."

Xia Yuandong was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you think of Lin Guzhi?"

Xia Qing was panicked when she heard Xia Yuandong suddenly ask this. She was not worried that Xia Yuandong had seen through her relationship with the stinky uncle, but she was just wondering if her father was really planning to change his bodyguard and came to ask her.

So she quickly replied: "Very good, he is very powerful and also knows martial arts. I remember I told you about this, Dad? I am safe with him protecting me!"

Xia Yuandong said: "Yes...indeed."

really?!
When Xia Qing heard the two words coming out of Xia Yuandong's mouth, she was stunned.

Does Dad want to fire the stinky uncle or not? !

People always say that girls’ minds are hard to guess, so why are fathers’ minds harder to guess than girls’?

She didn't know that after seeing the power of Lin Guzhi's eyes, Xia Yuandong's thinking had gradually been influenced by her. When he heard her say this, he was even wondering what kind of martial arts Lin Guzhi's glaring martial arts was, was it the "Soul Transfer Technique" or something else?
"Dad...what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just asked casually. Hurry up and pack up and come down. I'll be waiting for you downstairs. We'll drive together."

"Oh."

Xia Qing hung up the phone and thought for a moment. Dad didn't mention replacing the uncle, so it seemed... his attitude had changed a little?
"Are we leaving now?"

Bai Qing's voice suddenly sounded, bringing Xia Qing back to his senses.

Xia Qing came back to her senses and remembered that she had forgotten to ask Bai Qing for her opinion. She quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to ask for your opinion."

Bai Qing shook her head and smiled, saying, "It's okay. After so many things happened, I actually want to leave quickly. I don't want to stay here for a moment. If I leave tonight, it would be perfect for me. But driving so late, I wonder if it's okay?"

Xia Qing said: "It doesn't matter. I'm very energetic now. Even if the uncle can't drive, I can drive. Let's pack up now."

"Yeah." Bai Qing nodded and said to Xiaoxi, "Xiaoxi, get up. It's hard for you to take the bus so late at night."

Xiaoxi got up from the bed and comforted Bai Qing, "It's okay, sister, I'm not sleepy."

Xia Qing gently touched Xiaoxi's hair and smiled without saying anything. Xiaoxi was always so sensible and able to endure hardships, sometimes even better than herself.

The three of them packed up, and Xia Qing called Lin Guzhi again to ask where Lin Guzhi was. Lin Guzhi was actually already next door, and had heard the conversation between Xia Qing and Xia Yuandong. At this time, he followed Xia Qing's words and said that it was okay to leave now, and he was not sleepy yet and could drive.

After packing up, I went out to the hotel parking lot and drove out of the parking lot. Sure enough, Xia Yuandong's car was already waiting outside the hotel.

"Let's go. Be careful on the road."

Xia Yuandong rolled down the car window and said something to Lin Guzhi, then greeted Bai Qing who was sitting in the back seat and asked her to stay at his house tonight as it was too late and since she was Xia Qing's best friend, there was no need for her to stay outside.

So they set off. After driving onto the highway, Xia Qing sent a WeChat message to Shen Xin, telling her that she and Xiao Bai had returned. She didn't want to call Shen Xin, so she had to tell her in WeChat.

Shen Xin quickly replied to the message without saying anything else, only asking Bai Qing and Xia Qing to be careful on the road.

After receiving this WeChat message, Bai Qing and Xia Qing looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.

Both women understood that Shen Xin must have known the situation. As things were complicated, it was not easy to say more, so they simply replied.

Things have changed, and people have changed. It really makes people feel bad...

A feeling of sadness filled Bai Qing and Xia Qing's hearts, causing Xia Qing to temporarily forget about the bodyguard Lin Guzhi.

In another car, Xia Yuandong was always agonizing over his bodyguard Lin Guzhi.

Even when the car drove all the way off the highway and back to Haicheng, he was still struggling.

When the car arrived home, Xia Qing's mother Yang Xiuxin had already received the letter and was waiting. She had arranged guest rooms for Bai Qing, Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi and treated them to a good sleep.

To prevent Yang Xiuxin from worrying, Xia Yuandong did not tell her much about the Jinshan City incident. But he lay in bed tossing and turning for a long time and could not fall asleep, but he could not help but talk to Yang Xiuxin about other things that were on his mind.

"What do you think of Lin Guzhi?"

"You said you were awake at night just thinking about this? I was almost asleep and you bothered me!"

"Can you tell me how you feel?"

"He's a pretty good guy, very capable and reliable. Now go to sleep."

“…Ah…Ah…Ah…”

“Is this the end?!”

"You really think he's pretty good?"

"Wrong! Wrong, okay? Looking at you like this, how can you still want him to be your son-in-law?"

"That won't work. This guy is too powerful. Our daughter can't subdue him."

"Do you think I can subdue you?"

"……able."

"go to bed!"

"..."
