Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Return to the Xia Family

Hearing what the two of them were saying, Xia Zhiyun frowned unconsciously.

"Excuse me, could you stay a bit further away from me?"

The reek of their cheap perfume was so strong it nearly made him gag.

Embarrassed by his comment, the two girls reluctantly took a step back.

Xia Zhiyun ignored them and turned to the cashier. "Put their tab for tonight on this card."

He took a card from his wallet and handed it to the clerk.

"Okay, one moment."

Given that Xia Jiajiao’s card had failed at least three times, the clerk didn’t really have high hopes.

But as it turned out, Xia Zhiyun’s card worked just fine.

The words "Payment Successful" appeared on the register screen, and the smile on the clerk’s face became much more sincere.

"Sir, here is your card and receipt."

The clerk handed the bank card and receipt to Xia Zhiyun with both hands.

Xia Zhiyun casually took them and put them back in his wallet.

"The bill’s paid. You’re coming home with me."

Throughout the entire exchange, Xia Zhiyun never once looked directly at the two girls.

Xia Jiajiao was very satisfied with Xia Zhiyun’s behavior, so she didn’t make a fuss and followed him straight out of the bar.

On the way back, Xia Jiajiao sat in Xia Zhiyun’s passenger seat. "Brother, why are you in such a hurry to get me home? The butler just called me, too, telling me to come home."

If Xia Zhiyun hadn’t come to get her in person, Xia Jiajiao would probably still be fooling around with that crowd.

Seeing Xia Jiajiao act like this, Xia Zhiyun felt that he’d been seeing his sister through rose-colored glasses.

"Dad’s not happy today. You should watch yourself when we get back."

Xia Zhiyun couldn’t bring himself to tell her directly, ’You’re the child of Mom’s affair with another man.’ Although they were brother and sister, their relationship was now rather... delicate.

"Got it. I’ll be careful."

Xia Jiajiao just assumed Xia Zhengguang was in a bad mood because of company matters, never once thinking it had anything to do with her.

Seeing that Xia Jiajiao had at least taken his words to heart, Xia Zhiyun let out a small, inward sigh of relief.

He then stepped on the gas and drove back to the Xia Family villa as quickly as possible.

"Aren’t we going to the hospital to see Mom?"

Xia Jiajiao still had no idea that her mother was already in custody.

Xia Zhiyun pursed his lips at her question. "You’ll find out soon enough. Let’s get home first."

"Oh."

Xia Jiajiao gave a perfunctory response. As soon as Xia Zhiyun parked, she opened her door and got out herself.

The two of them walked into the villa’s living room. Xia Zhengguang was sitting on the sofa, his face grim.

"Dad."

Sensing the tense atmosphere in the house, Xia Jiajiao still forced herself to greet Xia Zhengguang.

"Don’t call me Dad. I’m not your dad!"

At the sight of Xia Jiajiao, Xia Zhengguang’s mood officially hit rock bottom for the day.

’Xia Jiajiao was completely bewildered by his words. It’s true she isn’t his biological daughter, but isn’t that because she and Yun Zijin were switched at birth?’

’Why didn’t he ever say he wasn’t her dad before? Isn’t it a little late to be making an issue of it now?’

"Dad, what’s wrong? Did I do something to make you unhappy?"

Xia Jiajiao frantically racked her brain, trying to remember what she could have done to make Xia Zhengguang want to disown her.

"Zhiyun, you tell her what happened."

’She doesn’t care about anything. So much happened at home today, and she’s completely oblivious!’

Suddenly put on the spot, Xia Zhiyun struggled for a moment to find the right words.
