On the other hand, it was Xia Ruotong. Xia Chiangcheng had thought of her name for a few days before he chose it. Naturally, there was no need to mention the moral behind it. In his eyes, Xia Ruotong was his precious eyeball to Qiao Huishan.

Qiao Huishan and Xia Ruotong, the mother and daughter, not only occupied the nest of the dead, but had also caused trouble for her. In her previous life, she was stubborn and straightforward, just like a cannon. Every time, she would be hit with a crime of being arrogant and domineering, even making the scheming Qiao Huishan and Xia Ruotong more dignified and magnanimous, making her gentle and lovable, making Xia Chiangcheng, who didn't like her to the extreme, loathe her.

In the entire Xia Family, only Grandfather was good to her. No matter what she said or did, Grandfather would always stand by his side to protect her, and this point caused Qiao Huishan and Xia Ruotong to go crazy with jealousy.

So, less than a month after his grandfather passed away, Qiao Huishan, that woman, heard that Chi Family Old Man had used some kind of method to choose Eldest Young Master Chi's wife and sent her information over. Luckily, she was still chosen.

After Chi Family had chosen her, in order to curry favor with Chi Family, Xia Chiangcheng sold her out without hesitation for a mere twenty million yuan.

Of course, Xia Chiangcheng knew about Eldest Young Master Chi's rumors. As for whether Xia Chuyi would be fine after marrying into Chi Family, Xia Chiangcheng did not care at all.

In his heart, the fact that Xia Chuyi, his good-for-nothing daughter, could climb such a great tree like Chi Family could be considered to have achieved the greatest benefit to her.

In her previous life, even if she had nowhere else to go, she had never had the thought of begging for forgiveness from Xia Chiangcheng. She, Xia Chuyi, was a coward that didn't know people well, but she also had her pride, so, in this life, it was impossible for her to lower her head to her inhumane father!

Xia Chuyi took a deep breath and looked at the clock on the wall. Then she lowered her head and turned a page of the book, looking at it seriously.

Judging by the time, those people should have arrived by now.

Just as he was thinking about this, the door of the ward was pushed open with a whoosh. A woman around the age of fifty walked in with two bodyguards.

"You're Xia Chuyi?"

Before Xia Chuyi could say anything, the other party had already spoken. However, this person's attitude was still as arrogant as it was in his previous life. He still made people feel displeased!

"What's the matter?" Xia Chuyi sat up straight and asked with a slight frown, neither servile nor overbearing.

Although she still looked to be in her teens, temperament was something that came from the inside. She had experienced many things in her last life and even though she ended up in a miserable state, she no longer had the temperament of a seventeen year old child in everyone's eyes.

Therefore, just by asking a few simple questions, Aunt Fu was able to retract her original disdain towards him.

Aunt Fu was slightly intimidated by Xia Chuyi's imposing manner. However, when she thought of the rumors she had heard about her, she felt that her vision had gone blurry. She sneered, "Small fry, you really have no rules!"

Xia Chuyi ignored Aunt Fu. There was no point in arguing with her, what's more, she was not wrong, compared to a rich and powerful family like Chi Family, a rich and powerful one like them was not even worth mentioning. She was just a small fry.

Not to mention her, even her father Xia Chiangcheng had to fawn over her when he saw the person in front of him. It was normal for people to look down on her.

She also had the intention to take advantage of this opportunity to teach Xia Chuyi to vent her anger. Who knew that Xia Chuyi didn't even want to respond, and if she did, it would seem that she was bullying others. Therefore, she didn't say anything, but sat down on a chair not far away from Xia Chuyi's bed, looking like she was waiting for someone.

This person's identity was not hard to guess, not to mention that Xia Chuyi had already expected her to come today. However, since the other party was clearly ignoring her, she would not bring this upon herself and humiliate herself like she had in her previous life. In any case, she already knew this person's purpose in coming here.

Thus, Xia Chuyi continued to focus all her energy on the book in her hands.

In her previous life, she had first committed suicide and was hospitalized for the sake of resisting marriage, and then, because she had lost her value in using her Chi Family, she was kicked out of the Xia Family under the instigation of Qiao Huishan, and for the sake of running and struggling with three meals a day, she did not even have the money to continue studying, so she did not even have the money to take part in the college entrance exams. In the future, because she did not have any diplomas, she would continue to complete her studies no matter what, so in this life, other than nurturing her body, she would spend the rest of her time studying.

Aunt Fu, on the other hand, did not expect Xia Chuyi to be so calm after she said so. She couldn't help but look at Xia Chuyi, wanting to know if Xia Chuyi was pretending, but when she saw Xia Chuyi fully focused on the English book in her hands, as if she was living in a world of her own, her seriousness made people want to calm their hearts, relax their limbs, and not disturb her, just like every time she went to the young master's study.

Aunt Fu couldn't help but doubt in her heart. Was this Xia Chuyi really the Xia Chuyi of the rumors? Why does it not look like it?

But when she thought about how Xia Chuyi would rather commit suicide than marry her family's young master, which would cause Chi Family to lose face, Aunt Fu's gaze couldn't help but become picky.

This little girl in front of him, how could she be mentioned in the same breath as her young master!

Madam was right!

Even if this Xia Chuyi wasn't as terrible as the rumors outside, if she did something like slapping her own face with Chi Family, she didn't have the qualifications to enter their Chi Family's gate. Otherwise, where would their Chi Family's face go?

Both of them had their own thoughts and didn't say anything. For a moment, the sickroom was quiet, except for the occasional flipping of books.

When Xia Chuyi had read half of the book, the sound of rapid and noisy footsteps came from the corridor. Xia Chuyi's hand that was flipping the pages of the book stopped, and her mouth curved into a faint mocking smile.

Coming at such a fast speed!

Xia Chiangcheng, Qiao Huishan, Xia Ruotong, and Chen Yang were quite present.

Xia Chiangcheng was out of breath. While wiping the sweat on his face with a handkerchief, he squeezed out a flattering smile at Aunt Fu, "Steward Fu, why are you here?"

With that, he turned to Xia Chuyi, who was still sitting on the bed reading a book, and scolded her without even giving her a glance. "You child, what do I usually teach you? Why didn't you know how to pour Steward Fu a cup of water? "

Xia Chuyi closed the book and looked up at Aunt Fu with a faint smile. "Butler?"
