However, Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi's trip did not go smoothly.
Xia Zhiyi received a phone call.
After meeting Xia Zhiyi, Old Master Song suddenly went crazy and said he wanted to transfer all his assets to his grandson Xia Zhiyi.
Is this a good thing?
Xia Zhiyi: Swearing.
The Song family does indeed have some assets. After all, over the years, not all of the Song family's assets were obtained through crimes, and some assets earned through legitimate channels shouldn't have been confiscated as well.
The problem is that if Xia Zhiyi really wants to inherit Old Master Song's assets, then she will also have to assume the debts of the Song family after their bankruptcy.
Xia Zhiyi: I must be crazy to agree to this.
When Xia Zhiyi received the call, he knew very well that Old Master Song was clearly trying to drag him into this mess.
Of course, there's also a very small chance that it's because Old Master Song was angered by his two filial sons and didn't want these two wicked sons, who had tried to ruin their own father, to inherit his remaining assets, so he set his sights on Xia Zhiyi.
Although the debt is high, if managed well, the remaining assets can be used to pay off the debt after some management, and the money can even allow one to live a wealthy life that Ordinary Person can hardly enjoy.
But Xia Zhiyi short of this money!?
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhiyi immediately turned to Fu Chi and asked to borrow some of his legal team, "Can I borrow your legal team for a moment?"
Fu Chi agreed without hesitation.
After he agreed, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Zhiyi finished speaking, then gave a kind smile, "I thought they had already brought this upon themselves and were going to prison, and they would basically spend the rest of their lives there anyway, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
"But since they're going to continue to disgust me like this, they can't blame me for being impolite."
He is indeed Old Master Song's grandson, but he is also one of the victims of the Song family's many sins.
He didn't want to get involved with the Song family before, so when they contacted him after his parents' car accident was exposed, he only told them to let the authorities handle it according to the law and not to worry about him.
In fact, as a victim, Xia Zhiyi could sue them.
I used to think it was unnecessary, but now... hah.
You find him disgusting, don't you?
OK.
Fu Chi paused for a moment, then frowned. "What the Song family has left isn't enough to pay off their debts. Under normal circumstances, if they don't bring it up, the remaining assets will either be inherited by the Song family's two remaining children, who will also inherit the debts; or the remaining assets will be used to pay off the debts, but they will still have to bear a portion of the debt."
Xia Zhiyi for a moment, then remembered that not everyone in the Song family went to prison; some children had escaped unharmed.
However, for the children, although they enjoyed the Song family's privileged life in the past and seemed relatively fortunate compared to ordinary people, now... overall, is it luck or misfortune for them?
Xia Zhiyi has not had any contact with the other party, nor does she intend to.
He wasn't the kind of person who was overly compassionate towards everyone.
Even knowing that under the current circumstances, the child bound to the Song family would likely not have a good future, he felt little emotional distress.
Hearing Fu Chi's words, Xia Zhiyi pondered for a moment before saying, "They wouldn't have come up with this idea hoping I would take the consequences for that child, would they?"
"What is this? Is it betting on my kindness?"
Fu Chi: "Maybe."
If that were the case, things would become even more ironic.
If Old Master Song really thought that way, it would prove that he wasn't completely indifferent; he did have a compassionate heart, only that this compassion... didn't belong to Xia Zhiyi.
Just like back then, he wasn't completely devoid of fatherly love for his children, but he gave more love to himself, and the little love he had left was mostly poured into his son, rather than the daughter he seemed to dote on.
ridiculous.
sad.
Xia Zhiyi: "Anyway, I won't agree to this. Not only will I not agree, I'll also cause them more trouble."
They must have had enough trouble already to still be thinking of dragging others down with them at this point.
What?
Do you think that if Xia Zhiyi hadn't taken the initiative to show up, Old Master Song might not have even remembered him?
Xia Zhiyi absolutely disagrees with this victim-blaming theory.
It's just a matter of causing trouble for each other. Anyway, Xia Zhiyi was on the high ground. She didn't want to cause any more trouble before, not because she was afraid of them.
"It's so annoying," Xia Zhiyi said, wrinkling her nose. "If I could, I wouldn't want anyone to know that I'm related to them by blood."
Fu Chi paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright. Even if those people find out, they won't associate you with the Song family."
Xia Zhiyi: "That's true. Unless someone is deliberately causing trouble, who would put me with a group of criminals?"
If that were the case, then the person who uttered such words could be directly identified as his enemy, and Xia Zhiyi has always been completely indifferent to enemies.
Afterwards, Xia Zhiyi contacted Fu Chi's legal team and confirmed her desired outcome. At noon, the two of them had lunch together in the school cafeteria.
As luck would have it, Xia Zhiyi not only ran into Wang Sheng, who had just finished class, but also Liu Xi, who was with his friends, in the cafeteria.
Liu Xi's first reaction upon seeing Xia Zhiyi was to try to avoid her.
But he wasn't alone; he was with friends. Liu Xi was a proud man and certainly wouldn't show any sign of avoiding Xia Zhiyi in front of his friends.
So he only thought about it to himself, but in the end he pretended not to see Xia Zhiyi and the others, walked past their table, and went to join the queue.
As Liu Xi passed Xia Zhiyi, he thought he was being discreet, but he glanced at the man sitting next to him, paused slightly, and quickly left.
Xia Zhiyi tugged at the corners of her lips, as if she were smiling, but there was no real smile in her eyes. She turned to Fu Chi and said, "Look, your face is so beautiful, even the senior who passed by was amazed."
They had almost finished eating, and Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi were still sitting there waiting for Wang Sheng.
Hearing his words, Fu Chi was quiet for a moment, then slowly asked, "How about I wear a mask?"
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Wang Sheng: "..."
Xia Zhiyi: "Pfft."
With just those words, Xia Zhiyi's slightly unhappy mood instantly improved. Leaning on the man's shoulder, she waved her hand and said, "There's no need, no need. There's no need to cover yourself up for others."
"Let them look. You're already taken, so all they can do is look."
Wang Sheng: "..."
Tsk.
Tooth sensitivity.
