Xia Zhiyi glanced at Xia Wanyi, who was taking the opportunity to get close to Xia Zhen, and stood up, saying, "Sister, I'm going to make a phone call."
Xia Wanyi hummed in agreement, ignoring Xia Zhen's already flushed cheeks, and continued to hug and cuddle with her.
Xia Zhen has been able to integrate smoothly these past few days, largely because Xia Wanyi has taken every opportunity to get close to the girl. These actions probably allow Xia Zhen to more genuinely feel Xia Wanyi's kindness and affection.
Xia Zhiyi took her phone and went to the balcony, dialing a number.
"Hey, boss."
Xia Zhiyi gave a soft "hmm" and asked, "Attorney Mo, what's the situation with the Song family now?"
The person who just messaged him, M, was a helper that Xia Zhiyi had found online using her hacking skills before she went to rehearse the show. Currently, M is working for him for free.
The reason is simple: he has never beaten Xia Zhiyi.
The person on the other end of the phone now is Mo Huayan, the top lawyer he hired. He was entrusted to keep an eye on the Song family's situation. If the Song family doesn't continue to cause trouble for him and his sister, then this top lawyer won't be of much use.
But if the Song family is in chaos and someone still has the audacity to cause trouble for the siblings, Xia Zhiyi can only smile and send them away.
Mo Huayan's greatest strength is that he doesn't pry or ask unnecessary questions. As long as the money is right and he doesn't break the law, he'll do what his employer says.
What's wrong with lawyers?
Lawyers can also engage in surveillance.
When Mo Huayan received Xia Zhiyi's call, he was still in his office watching his client's highlight reel on silent. He was startled when he saw the caller ID and immediately turned off the video before answering the phone.
Fortunately, his employer didn't have the supernatural ability to know what he was doing; he only inquired about the situation with the Song family.
Mo Huayan truthfully told Xia Zhiyi the information he had gathered over this period of time, and finally said, "Boss, you... have you finished filming the program?"
There was a hint of probing in his words.
Xia Zhiyi gave a soft "Mmm": "You saw it too?"
Mo Huayan chuckled twice, "You've become quite famous lately. Our firm is full of young people, and I happened to hear your name and took a second look."
After speaking, Mo Huayan paused and asked, "Um, boss, are you planning to enter the entertainment industry or just have some fun? If you're going to enter the entertainment industry, our agency can also help with related matters."
Xia Zhiyi: "No need, the contract has already been signed."
Mo Huayan: "Oh, I see. That makes sense. You're not someone who knows nothing."
After saying that, Mo Huayan naturally changed the subject. "So, what do you want to do about the Song family?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Not for now."
He was just checking the situation.
Of course, Xia Zhiyi could have avoided making the call and used other methods to quickly obtain the information, but that would have been mentally taxing.
He just wanted a summary; the information compilation could be handed over to someone else. Anyway, Mo Huayan had already paid the deposit, so why not take advantage of it?
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhiyi looked at the night view outside the balcony with a cold expression.
Splash--
The sliding door behind her was pushed open, and when Xia Zhiyi turned around, a gentle smile appeared on her face. When she saw Xia Wanyi, her smile deepened, "Sister."
Xia Wanyi: "I noticed you hadn't gone back, so I came to check on you. Aren't you afraid of mosquitoes biting you sitting here so late at night?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled, shook her head, and glanced around the living room. Noticing Xia Zhen wasn't there, she asked, "Where's Xiao Zhen?"
Xia Wanyi: "I told her to go take a shower first."
As she spoke, Xia Wanyi closed the door, sat down next to Xia Zhiyi, and asked, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood all of a sudden. Did something happen to you?"
Could it be that the character we mentioned before is no longer available?
If that's the case, Xia Wanyi doesn't think it's worth taking too seriously. After all, Xia Zhiyi is still young and has just signed an artist contract. She's a complete newcomer, so it's not surprising that her work might encounter setbacks.
Xia Zhiyi shook her head and said, "It's nothing difficult, I just heard some news about people I don't like, so I'm not too happy."
Xia Wanyi blinked, understanding. "If you don't like it, then don't worry about it."
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "Mm."
He didn't waste too much energy on the Song family. Firstly, the Song family didn't need his personal intervention now. The Song family itself was corrupt and had made many enemies; he could easily throw them into chaos with a push.
Secondly, Xia Zhiyi didn't want him to get too involved with his sister and the Song family.
He simply disliked the Song family.
Xia Wanyi reached out and gently patted his head, her gaze tender. "Don't think about those unhappy things. Aren't you going to school to register soon? You can think about how to talk to your roommates then. I've prepared some food for you, so you can let your roommates try some."
Xia Zhiyi laughed, "Sister, don't you trust my social skills?"
Xia Wanyi smiled and said, "I'm not worried about that. How could my brother be unpopular?"
The siblings happily began talking about their upcoming university life, chatting and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere.
When Xia Zhen came out after taking a shower, she saw her older brother and sister chatting on the balcony and hesitated for a moment.
Before she could hesitate about whether she should go and disturb them, Xia Zhiyi had already noticed her, waved with a smile, and then got up with Xia Wanyi and returned to the cool house.
Xia Wanyi casually picked up the hair dryer from the TV cabinet, and led Xia Zhen to sit down on the sofa, saying, " Xiao Zhen, you need to go to bed early tonight, don't stay up too late reading. Tomorrow we'll take Zhiyi to the airport together, okay?"
Xia Zhen's initial emotions vanished instantly, and she nodded vigorously, "Okay."
Her voice was still a little hoarse, but it was much better than when Xia Zhiyi first took her in.
The doctor said Xia Zhen's throat was slightly damaged, but fortunately the problem wasn't serious. Xia Zhen is still young, so she just needs to rest and recover.
Xia Zhiyi smiled, stood in front of her open suitcase for a moment, and feeling that she shouldn't lack anything, she closed the suitcase and said to the two sisters who had already started drying their hair, "Then I'm going to take a shower."
The hairdryer wasn't very loud, but it was close by, Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhen might not have heard it clearly, but they knew what Xia Zhiyi had said and nodded together.
They do indeed look a bit like sisters.
Xia Zhiyi's gaze lingered on Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhen's noses for a moment, then she smiled, turned, and left.
So what if Xia Zhen is very likely a Song family?
Anyway, Xia Zhen is now their child, and she doesn't seem as arrogant, domineering, or vicious as she is in the story. She's just a hurt child who needs comfort.
If my sister likes it, then we're family.
