C2 Another Child

"Really. "Mother has made up her mind this time. Although there are no more relatives in the country, mother still wants to take you back so that you know where your roots are. And also so that you can see the place where mother once lived."

"Yeah!" The excitement in Xia Yanyou's eyes did not subside, "I wanted to go to the place where mom grew up a long time ago."

However, after a moment of excitement, sadness appeared in Xia Yanyou's eyes again, "So, I won't be able to see Iven and Charles again?" His eyelids drooped down as he sighed sadly. "Iven invited me to his house for a Christmas Eve party not long ago. It seems like I won't be able to get there."

Xia Bing smiled to comfort her: "It's not like we won't be going back to London anymore. This is our second home. If you miss your friends, we can also come over to London from time to time."

Xia Yanyou nodded his head in agreement. Pausing for a moment, he raised his gaze once more, asking Xia Bing with a face of curiosity, "Right, where's Uncle Xu? Does he want to return with us?"

Xia Bing stopped eating his sandwich, then revealed a faint smile: "Your Uncle Xu has his own business in London, he won't come back with us."

"Ah?" "So it's like that!" Xia Yanyou pursed his lips and frowned. After a soft sigh, the compromise said with a trace of helplessness, "Alright."

Xia Yanyou and Xu Ang had grown up without a father, so they got along quite well. Xia Yanyou also relied on Xu Ang.

Although Xia Bing felt sorry for his son and didn't intentionally prevent his son from getting close to Xu Ang, but Xu Ang wasn't Xia Yanyou's father after all. He had no obligation nor responsibility to take on the role of Xia Yanyou's father.

She had been taken too much care of by Xu Ang.

Five years ago, she fled to London in a sorry state. Her family was defeated, her father jumped off a building, her mother went with him, and her fiancé died of illness … It was a good thing that Xia Yanyou existed in those dark days, allowing her to have the spirit to continue living in endless despair.

He remembered the first time he came to London. Because he didn't have any money, he had to rent a house in that kind of slum.

The security of the slums was a mess. Robbery, theft, and even gunfire happened almost every few days.

Xia Bing carefully lived, enduring the unreasonable insults from the white neighbors, and also shouldering the responsibility of taking care of Xia Yanyou.

Without having a chance, she handed Xia Yanyou over to a trustworthy village. During the day, she took the London subway to sell her clothes to a clothing store.

However, the racial discrimination here was too serious. Seeing that she was Chinese, they all refused to cooperate with her.

He finally managed to escape to London, then immediately fell into the endless darkness, causing Xia Bing to almost collapse.

Fortunately, she met Xu Ang in her most helpless and difficult days.

He was also Chinese and was the owner of a famous London clothing store. Because he liked Xia Bing's design, he bought all of her designs without a second word and even hired her as the store's chief designer.

Most of Xu Ang's customers were famous ladies in the Chinese circle. Xia Bing's design was a favorite of these customers. Every time they released a new design, a few of them would make a fortune in the circle.

Xia Bing didn't let Xu Ang down either. With her first-rate design skills, she made Xu Ang's profits for the past few years go up again and again, and the number of shops increased rapidly.

Xu Ang was a noble person in her life. Fortunately, Xu Ang had helped her in these past five years, allowing her to become a successful person in her current career. Furthermore, she was able to raise Xia Yanyou successfully, so it could be said that without Xu Ang, she would not be who she was today.

However, she treated Xu Ang as her boss and benefactor, but Xu Ang didn't think so.

Not only did he once show her that he wanted her to marry him, but the recent love affair was getting more and more frequent, forcing Xia Bing to be unable to breathe.

The time was almost ripe, she felt, and it was time to go back and find her other child.
